Everything was silent in Jay's apartment as Skylor and Nya carefully helped Kai to his feet. You could hear a pin drop. Wendy stared at Kai in shock and horror at the news that the brunette was pregnant. Her brain was slowly connecting the dots to the accusations of rape and the pregnancy and she quickly realized that this baby may be her grandchild. Jay's eyes nervously darted back and forth between Wendy and his friends, scared something else would happen.
"Is it true? Are you pregnant?" She finally asked, but Kai refused to look up from the ground.
"It's none of your business." He muttered, trembling slightly.
"You need to leave!" Nya snarled as she stepped forward, looking ready to smack Wendy across the face.
"Stop it Nya, you'll only make things worse!" Skylor warned.
"I can't believe you're doing this to us." Wendy whimpered to Kai and that was the final straw. Nya suddenly lunged at her just as Cole entered the apartment. He was just coming by to see how everyone was doing and was shocked to find Nya trying to claw a terrified Wendy's eyes out. After a moment of struggling, they managed to pull Nya off the woman, and Jay and Cole pulled her to her feet, intending to throw her out.
"Come on, out!" Cole grunted as he and Jay started to drag Wendy out.
"Is it Morro's?!" She desperately cried. "Will you just tell me the truth! Are you having his baby?!" She begged, but Kai said nothing as the two agents finally forced her out of Jay's apartment and down the stairs.
"Get lost!" Cole shouted as they finally reached the ground floor and pushed her out the door.
"You want to be locked up!" Jay added angrily. Wendy glared at them but said nothing as she walked away...
As soon as Wendy was gone, Jay called the landlord to report Wendy for trespassing. They all had to travel to the landlord's house in the middle of the city to explain what happened but once again, he wasn't helpful. He said that since Jay had let her in, she wasn't technically trespassing so he couldn't press charges. The best he could do was tell them to take the matter to the police and file a restraining order if she kept coming back. As they walked to the apartment, Skylor couldn't help but feel guilty for what happened.
"It's all my fault, I just panicked when you fell." She explained when felt like the hundredth time.
"It's done now, so stop blaming yourself," Kai assured her.
"I can't believe she had the nerve to come back here." Cole frowned.
"You should have let me hit her," Nya growled.
"What good would that have done?" Jay snapped at her as they reached the apartment building.
"I thought I'd be stronger." Kai sighed. "It just couldn't get the words out."
"It doesn't matter now, she's gone." Cole smiled, but that quickly faded when a black car pulled up next up to them. They all watched in disbelief as Wendy got out of the car and jogged over to the group.
"I haven't come back for a right and I really don't want any trouble! I just need to know the truth!" She cried in desperation. Kai rolled his eyes in frustration as he walked past her, intending to walk inside and forget about her, but what she said next made his blood boil. "Look, I don't know what's happened between you and Morro."
"Yes, you do!" He snarled.
"How long were you going to keep it a secret?"
"It's not a secret!" He denied.
"You don't have to explain yourself to her!" Skylor said as she and the others glared at Wendy.
"Look, I don't want anything to do with you or your family, and I didn't ask for this! You are nothing to me!" Kai snapped at the woman, but it didn't seem to faze her.
"Well that's not true is it?" She smiled sweetly at the brunette. "If you're carrying my grandchild then we have everything to do with one another, like it or not that makes us family." She stated calmly. Kai said nothing however and started walking towards the entrance, with Wendy, Nya, and his friends close behind. "I just want to talk, that's all! I need to get to the bottom of this!"
"If you don't stop harassing him I'll call the police!" Jay shouted as they got between her and Kai.
"Just leave us alone!" Skylor exclaimed.
"If that's my grandchild then I've got rights!" She argued but Kai gave her a death glare.
"No, you haven't! You've got nothing because there isn't going to be anything!" He all but screeched. "You really think I'm going to keep this baby? After what your son did to me?! I'm not bringing something like that into the world! Something that could grow up and be like it's rapist dad!" He spat, causing Wendy to flinch. "I'm getting rid, and you should be grateful that I've got the sense to get an abortion! If only you'd had done the world a favor and done the same thing!" He finished with an angry snarl.
With that, they all entered the apartment and left Wendy frozen on the street...
Kai sniffed as he wiped his amber eyes, even though there were no tears in them. He was curled into Jay's side in his pajamas while Skylor made them all something to eat. It had been almost an hour since they had left Wendy standing outside on the street and Cole and Nya had gone downstairs to make sure Morro's mother was long gone. Skylor placed a plate of toast for her best friend, but he didn't trust himself not to throw up if he did eat something.
He didn't know if that was because of morning sickness or nerves.
His limbs had become very shaky, but Jay assured him that it was just the adrenaline wearing off.
"You were hardcore." Skylor smiled, trying to lift Kai's spirits.
"Yeah? Didn't feel like it." He mumbled weakly. "I just hoped she believed me."
"What do you mean?" Jay asked.
"I had to tell her something, 'cause I can't handle seeing her or Morro again." He replied with a small whimper.
"We could tell the police and get a restraining order." Jay offered.
"They couldn't help last time could they, and I can't cope going through all that again; so I had to lie about the abortion so Morro and his family will just leave me alone." He admitted sadly. Jay only sighed as he rubbed circles into Kai's back. They sat there for nearly half an hour before Skylor and Jay stood up to stretch their legs. Kai hardly acknowledged their movements as they moved to the kitchen to talk in private.
"You think that'll be it then? That's she'll leave him alone?" Skylor asked in a whisper.
"I hope so," Jay replied. "I can't believe she had the nerve to come back here." He added with a glare just as Cole and Nya came back. Cole smiled at his ginger-haired boyfriend while Nya's eyes zeroed in on her brother.
"Are you ok?" She asked as she sat next to the pregnant brunette.
"Had better days." He admitted.
"We've looked around and she's long gone," Cole reassured everyone.
"Not surprised with the mouthful you gave her." Nya chuckled as the siblings shared a hug. "For what it's worth, I think you've made the right decision." She suddenly said, catching her brother off guard. He pulled away and one look at her face told him what she was thinking. She thought he had changed his mind and was getting an abortion. Before anyone could say anything, he shot up and locked himself in the bathroom for the next ten minutes.
When he did finally return to the living room, everyone had left, leaving him and Nya alone to talk.
While he was in the bathroom someone had explained to Nya that Kai had lied to Wendy about the abortion and his little sister was trying to hide her anger and disappointment.
"You were always good at clearing a room," Kai commented when he saw that everyone had left.
"I had to practically wrestle Jay out the door." She admitted with a weak chuckle, but Kai didn't even crack a smile. "Skylor also made me promise that I'd call her once we're done." She added, feeling slightly nervous at her brother's gaze.
"I get that it'd be easier for everyone if I just had an abortion." He sighed, seeing Nya's point.
"None of this is easy, but... h-have you really thought what your life would be like bringing up this baby?" She asked.
"So.. I'm just supposed to get rid and we can all just go back to normal? Pretend this never happened?" He glared
"Kai please, you're young and you can have other babies."
"So people keep saying." He huffed in frustration. "It's great that you're all such good experts!"
"Ok, so let's say you have it; what if it's a boy? What if it's like it's dad?"
"He won't be, I'll make sure of it."
"Alright, but what about when he does something bad and your just... looking at him, wondering?" She asked and Kai could only stare at her in horror at her implication that his baby was already a monster like Morro before it was even born. "W-What happens when he's five and he starts asking where his Daddy is? Or when he's eighteen? Or when he has kids of his own?"
"I'll tell him he's dead." Kai shrugged. "Lots of kids are raised by single parents nowadays."
"So you're just gonna lie to him all his life and hope he never finds out?"
"Yes! If we have to!" He exclaimed, growing angrier and angrier by the second.
"He'll know something's wrong! You can't keep something like that a secret!" She cried, matching his tone, before sigh. "Please, big brother, please don't do this; I can't watch you throw your life away like this."
"Nobody's asking you too!" He snapped in rage. "I don't need your blessing or anybody else's! If you can't stand by my decision, then stay out of it!" He shouted before charging to his room and slamming the door shut, shaking the whole apartment at the force...
