When Kai woke up slowly, and he was surprised to find that he was hardly in any pain anymore. For a moment he couldn't remember what happened or where he was, thinking he was back in that hell hole. Then everything clicked, and he smiled, sitting up slowly. Cole had rescued him. Iron Baron's den was raided and many of the victims were rescued and were hopefully being reunited with their families. The thought of family made him think of Nya and Skylor.

Cole said they were alright, but he wanted to see them for himself.

He looked around and saw the paramedics had taken him to a room with medical things and lying down on a bed. Snuggling into the warm blankets, Kai felt a soft sigh escape him. Even though he had just woken up, he still felt really tired. He heard footsteps coming from back down the halls, but he was already so comfy, and the bed was so soft, and he was safe. He didn't have to worry about that place anymore. He closed his eyes, giving in to the warm feeling, willfully letting his muscles relax.

It was nice to be back with his all of friends. He heard someone enter his room and walk over to the bed he was currently lying in.

Kai opened his eyes to see Jay's face, the ginger inches away from him.

"Are you okay?! Well obviously not, you got tortured, but- I mean, you're alive, so that's good enough for now, I guess, but still! Don't you ever run off like that again!" He said a million miles a minute when he suddenly wrapped Kai in a tight hug, and the brunette cried out as his grip tightened around his injuries. Jay immediately pulled back, panic on his face.

"Did I- shit, did I hurt you?! Is the baby ok?! I didn't mean-"

"I- I'm okay." Kai gets out through gritted teeth, ignoring the searing pain. It appeared that the painkillers were wearing off. Kai frowned when Jay mentioned the baby, but he would deal with that later. Zane rushed into the room, dragging Jay away from him.

"He just woke up, Jaybird, please give him a minute to recover." He instructed his boyfriend. Kai sat up the rest of the way, wincing at the flash of pain that went through him. Then his hand started to ache. It was subtle, at first, and Kai looked down at it, noting the fresh bandages. Someone must have put them on after he arrived. Then it started throbbing, rapidly getting worse and worse as he blinked off the rest of his sleep. The more he woke up, the more it hurt.

He cursed, squeezing his eyes shut.

It looked like he got used to the painkillers and didn't know what to do now that they wore off.

"Kai, are you okay?" Zane asked with a concerned expression, stepping closer.

"I'll live." He gritted out through his teeth. "Don't want to get hooked on these painkillers, so I can power through." He muttered and Zane gave a hesitant nod.

"It would be better to not give you any more, so you don't get addicted to them and so it doesn't affect the pregnancy." He admitted, glancing at Kai's stomach for a split second before looking back at his face. "Perhaps you should go back to sleep." He suggested. In any other situation, Kai might have gotten annoyed. He just woke up and he was in a lot of pain, and he wanted him to just go back to sleep. But he couldn't bring himself to feel upset about it.

Instead, he smiled, even though he was in a lot of pain, after everything he's been through, he's just happy to see them again.

He gave a weak nod and focused on his breathing, trying to calm himself down. This hurt like hell, but at least he had got Jay and Zane with him. That was until Zane started to leave, pulling Jay out with him.

"Wait!" Kai exclaimed as he felt his eyes widen as he reached out with his good arm as though he could somehow grab them from the other side of the room.

"What's wrong?" Jay asked.

"I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do and I took like four pregnancy tests and they all came back positive." He explained, even though he knew they already knew this. "I need to make sure though because what if they were wrong and I'm not pregnant but I don't know how to do that or who to contact for a male pregnancy thing, please help." He begged desperately. Both agents were silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, first take a deep breath," Jay said softly. Kai did what he said and took a deep breath.

"You believe all of the pregnancy tests were wrong?" Zane asked in confusion.

"Yes, and I need to make an appointment but I don't know how."

"Okay... um," Jay muttered. It wasn't every day that Jay Walker was left speechless. He didn't know what to say in this situation, so Zane took over.

"I'll set up an appointment for you next week, so until then, just, stay calm." He explained.

"Next week? Can't it be sooner?" Kai asked, desperately wanting this to be over as soon as possible.

"You'll only have to wait like four days," Jay reassured.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous."

"Why? Don't you want kids?" The ginger-haired man asked him with sad eyes, almost like he was scared of Kai's answer. The brunette could only shrug, not sure how to answer. Kai wanted to have children one day but this is Morro's baby and even if it wasn't, Kai didn't think he was ready for a baby right now. Feeling the tension growing, Zane cleared his throat to get their attention.

"I'll go and check when your appointment is."

"Thanks, Zane." He smiled weakly. Zane nodded and walked out the room, taking Jay with him and Kai was left alone again. Now that he was alone with his own thoughts, Kai put a hand on his stomach. There was a whole separate human being growing in there. Maybe. Probably. He didn't want to think about it. Next week couldn't come fast enough. Just then, Jay popped his head into the room, startling Kai a little bit.

"You're gonna have to remain stationed at the base and Nya is staying nearby, but given your rescue and Iron Baron getting arrest, we will have her moved here." He explained. "Someone will have to inform her of the situation, and I feel that it would be best coming from you." He added sympathetically. Kai tensed when he heard this. He had forgotten Nya was still in the dark about all this. He was not going to be able to keep the fact that he worked at a strip club with Skylor a secret anymore.

Nya was definitely going to kill him...

When Kai was told Nya had finally arrived at the base, he thought his life flashed before his eyes. They thought it would be best to speak in a neutral area rather than the med bay. The two Smith siblings were now stood in a living room in the base, and thankfully, the agents who were stationed there have decided to leave them alone.

"Kai, what's going on?" His sister demanded. Her arms were folded tightly across her chest, and there was a sharp scowl on her face.

"Uh, well... what do you know so far?" The brunette asked and he gave a nervous chuckle.

"I know that you're a lying asshole." She growled and Kai winced, glancing off to the side.

"Okay, that's fair." He admitted. "Before I say anything, I just want you to know that I did it to keep you safe."

"What the fuck did you do?" Nya demanded once again.

"I think you've figured out that I don't work late-night shifts at a fancy restaurant waiting and cleaning tables, I never have been." He gulped in fear. "I, uh, well... up until recently, I've kinda... um... been working at the Club of Flaming Passion?" The brunette admitted, still not making eye contact.

"That better not mean what I think it does." His sister narrowed her eyes. He gave another nervous chuckle.

"Well, then I'm hoping that you're not thinking that it means I've been a stripper." He tried to joke to lighten the mood, but it only made things even worse. Her glare cut through him like a knife.

"Kai-"

"I know, I know! It's just... I didn't have a choice! I was fifteen, Nya!" He exclaimed. "I didn't exactly have a lot of career options."

"There has to have been something-"

"But there wasn't!" Kai yelled, but then he sighed, softening some. "Nya, my choices were let us starve, or take off my clothes, and by the time I was old enough to do something else, they wouldn't let me out." He explained. "They'd kill the both of us if I tried, so I stayed."

"How many?" Nya demanded, a small crack in her voice.

"What?" The brunette tensed, hoping against hope that he was wrong about what she was asking.

"How many people did you sleep with?" She quickly clarified. There was fear in her voice, and it made him wince. He hesitated a moment, but ultimately gave in. There was no point in trying to keep secrets anymore.

"I don't know."

"You don't know? How can you not know?!" She demanded.

"I lost count, if you count my time with Iron Baron, maybe over a hundred." The brunette admitted, ashamed. Sometimes, he wished he could remember. He wished he could remember the faces of the people who had violated him. Those people had lives, families, people who probably had no idea what their friends were doing in a strip club. Nya's expression of horror was burned into his eyes. He knew then and there that he was never going to be able to forget it.

Just like the first time, Chen made him sell his body for a handful of dirty cash.

Her next words surprise him, however. They were nothing like he was expecting when he first realized he had to tell her the truth.

"I'm sorry," Nya told him, pain all too visible in her eyes. "I'm so, so sorry." She repeated softly. His confusion must have been evident because she addressed it immediately. "I know you, Kai, and I know that you wouldn't have done it if you had any other choice and... god, Kai, I'm so sorry."

"What?" That was all Kai could say. Suddenly she locked him into a tight hug, and it took him a moment to reciprocate the gesture. He thought she would hate him and call him every name under the sun.

"It's gonna be okay, big bro." She whispered into his ears. The words were so quiet that he could only just make them out. That is what finally broke him. Before Kai could stop himself, he started sobbing into his sister's shoulder.

"No, it's not." He choked as he reluctantly pulled out of the hug. "Nothing will ever be okay ever again!"

"Why?" She asked in confusion. It took a few minutes for Kai to collect himself enough to stop crying. He didn't know how he was supposed to tell his little sister that he was pregnant with his rapist's baby. He didn't want her to blame herself since he only took that job because he wanted Nya to have the best opportunities in life, but he also didn't want her to judge him for deciding to have an abortion.

"I-I... have this medical condition." He muttered, but this only made Nya more confused.

"What medical condition?" She asked, scared her brother had contracted an STD from his line of work.

"Nya, little sister, I don't know how to say this, but... I-I might be a-about four weeks pregnant." He finally said and Nya's eyes widened in horror when she realized what he had said.

"...I-Is it... one o-of you're... clients?" She slowly asked, glancing down at his stomach.

"No." He whimpered. "T-There was this m-man who always c-came to the c-club, his name was M-M-Morro." He stuttered as more tears began building up in his amber eyes.

"What did he do."

"I don't know what to do."

"Well, you don't want that monster's kid, right?"

"Honestly? I don't know." He admitted sadly. "I mean, one minute I want this parasite out of me, the next all I want is to hug and kiss it; if it even arrives."

"Well, you're already thinking like a parent." Nya hummed. "Sometimes you love them, sometimes you hate them."

"I guess." Kai smiled weakly, he was already feeling better.

"So, you want me to make the appointment?" She asked, catching Kai off-guard for a second.

"Uh, for what?" He asked in confusion.

"The abortion." She said plainly as if it was the most oblivious thing in the world.

"Excuse me?!" Kai cried, his voice going embarrassingly high. True he didn't want Morro's kid, but he needed to be sure that there actually was a baby before he decided to get rid of it.

"You just told me you wanted to get one." She said in the same tone like she was talking to a child.

"We don't even know for certain if I am pregnant yet! It might have been a false positive, so I'm having an ultrasound in a few days." He explained. "I want to been sure there is a baby first before I decide to do anything."

"Right, good luck with that." She scoffed before her gaze softened. "Kai, have you thought about what having this baby would mean? You'll be tied to that beast forever."

"I just need to examine all my options first." He said as he felt his lower lip wobble. He really didn't want to start crying again. He knew Nya made a good point, but that didn't mean he wanted to go through an abortion.

"Right, you go ahead and do that, when you're done just ask me when you want me to set it up for you." She said, not really believing Kai would keep the baby. Eventually, they both went and found the others. They were all sat in the dining room of the secret CIA base, and the siblings nervously sat down at the table, feeling a little out of place surrounded by all these agents. Jay soon started talking about a new invention he was working on with Zane and Nya.

Every once in a while, however, he would glance over at Kai with an unreadable expression that set him on edge.

It took him a few minutes to realize that both Cole and Zane had been doing the same thing. Lloyd was there, but he was just glaring at the brunette. He had been told that Skylor was still giving her statement and would likely be another couple of hours, and Nya was too busy with Jay and Zane to notice her brother growing more and more uncomfortable. Kai could only look away from everyone and stare at the wall as he curled in a little, wrapping his arms around his mid-section.

He just wanted all of this to stop...
