Chapter 13:
Pregnant
I got back to the dojo and immediately rushed to the bathroom. My eyes were red – rimmed with tears from the news that I had learned this morning from the doctor – I'm pregnant with Jayden's child. Our child...something that shouldn't have been started until the Nighlok army has been defeated.
Mike and Kevin approached me after I had gotten out of the bathroom. "Kaileigh, can we talk?" Mike hesitantly asked me. I nod, not caring what Mike has to say for once. Silence passes as I stare at the Blue and Green Samurai Rangers.
"You and Jayden? Should've known that was an explosion waiting to happen..." Kevin said to me, making me roll my eyes. Kevin was referring to the fact that there had been an air of tension between the Red Ranger and I. It had started the day that Jayden had asked me to return to the Samurai team and had greatly intensified during the following weeks.
"Kevin, that wasn't polite!" Mike exclaimed. He was offended for my sake, since he had unofficially adopted me as his big sister.
"What? I'm just saying that she and Jayden belong together and if that Nighlok hadn't gotten Jayden drunk off his ass..." Mike rolled his eyes. After being drunk, Jayden had insisted that we remain friends which led to me leaving. "At least we can be grateful that she isn't pregnant."
"Um, actually, I am." I interrupted. "Two months along as of yesterday." Both Mike and Kevin stared at me like I'm an idiot. I hate it when they look at me like that!
"Are you going to keep it? I mean, we'll all help you raise the little squirt." Mike offered fondly. My smile turned into a frown. "C'mon, Kai, give me a chance to be the best uncle ever? Please?" Mike pleaded. He had always wanted a niece or nephew to call his own, especially after Reese's older sister had given birth to her daughter last year.
"I'm not keeping the baby and I am not telling Jayden." I announced to the Blue and Green Rangers firmly. "I'll just keep it quiet." I had planned to give the baby up for adoption because I couldn't abort Jayden's child without his knowledge – it wouldn't sit right with me.
"Like I even believe that." Mike muttered. "How are you not going to tell him when your body will?" He asked. I was unable to meet his eyes. I had been planning on leaving again – a mere month after Jayden had come to retrieve me from my city apartment. I know that's cowardly, but I can't spend the rest of the eight and a half months here.
Jayden walked in and he seemed to be in a happy mood – whistling while he walks. I've seen Jayden whistle only once and it was before Antonio left. "Hey, am I interrupting anything?" Jay asks, a bit out of breath.
"No." Mike retorted before leaving with Kevin in tow. I have a feeling that Mike is angry with me. After watching the two Rangers leave, Jay turns to me, his eyes bright with happiness. I wonder what he could want to talk to me about?
"There's something I want to ask you." he says after taking another deep breath. Jayden gets down on one knee, takes a ring box out of his pocket and pops it open before asking, "Will you marry me?" Sometimes I want to strangle Jay, but this isn't one of those times. Somehow, I find the courage to tell him.
"Jay, I'm pregnant." Jayden stares at me and silence falls. I wonder if I was too hasty to tell him about the life that we had accidentally started. The look in his eyes started to smolder, his eyes speaking of wanting me right then and there. "Yes, I will marry you." I say. A smile slowly creeps onto Jayden's face to show me that he is definitely relieved. "Love you."
