Disclaimer: Tekken is not mine and neither are the lyrics to Mary J. Blige's: Steal Away. Steal Away's lyrics will be read through out this fanfic. Might I add that Mary's CD: No More Drama is one of the best CD's of all time! Oh, and Trevene is mine though.
A/N: I know that Christie Monteiro is OOC, but I really thought that she was the right character to narrate this fanfic. Eddy will be in this and the up coming chapters as well as Julia and Steve. I said that Nina wouldn't play a part in this because she is in her own series. Sorry to disappoint you Nina fans. If you Nina fans want to read about Nina, you need to read my fanfic Cold-Hearted. That is in Nina's perspective.
I also know that this is a humorous soap-opera fanfic. There really isn't that much humor in it after chapter 2 but I assure you that there will be more humor where I can fit some humor in it. As for Christie and Jin, you must read on to find out what will happen between them and Ling Xiaoyu will be in this fic sooner than you think. Just quit asking questions and read it…and remember to review it on www.fanfiction.net instead of e-mailing me. E-mail your reviews and comments to me only if you can't get into Fanfiction.net.
Chapter 5It has been two months since my trip to the hospital. Off and on I have been throwing up and still I force myself to think that it is stress but I know that it isn't. I rarely get light headed and dizzy like I have before but now I know for sure that I am pregnant. I don't know how many months pregnant but by the look of my stomach I haven't been pregnant for that long. My stomach has bulged a little but not too much. I wear sweatshirts now to cover that up, but I still haven't told anybody about it. I thought about seeing my doctor but I'm still not too sure. How much I didn't want to believe that I was pregnant but now I know that reality has kicked in…and that I am pregnant.
I was in the dorm room sitting on the couch watching television while Trevene was in her room sleeping. I was so surprised at the sudden thought that I was pregnant that I couldn't really sleep. I was scared. I didn't really know what to do. The thoughts in my head were either getting an abortion or giving the baby up for adoption. I really wasn't too sure about anything right now and I didn't know whether I was going to be sure about it either.
The doorbell head rang as the television show I was watching went on commercial. As I got up to get the door, Trevene started to curse and scream about the door waking her up. I shook my head and laughed while going to answer the door. I looked out the peephole to see Jin and Hwoarang standing there. I opened the door to let them in and to my surprise Jin had a gift for me. "Hey Jin, Hwoarang."
Jin hugged me. "Hey. How are you feeling?"
Like shit right about now. "I'm feeling all right but I could feel a little better."
He handed me a small gifted that was all wrapped up. "This is for you."
I smiled and snatched if from his hand. He laughed as I struggled to get it open while Hwoarang locked the door. When it was open I ran over to the couch and propped myself down. I look to see that he brought me an expensive gold chain. The chain mesmerized me. I stared as Jin put the chain around my neck for me and then I turned around and kissed him.
Hwoarang laughed. "Oh so you two are officially together, huh?"
Jin and I nodded. Well it felt good to be with Jin. Jin actually had his temper in check and for some reason I never worried when I was with him. Eddy had moved back to Brazil because of a dire emergency and he failed to mention it to anyone. He called Hwoarang the other day and told him where he was and Hwoarang nearly cursed him out. There's big brother Hwoarang helping me out. Jin and Ling had broken up a week ago but ever since they had broken up Ling has been giving me dirty looks and she has been stuffing threatening letters in Jin's locker. One read:
Kazama, you can't get rid of me but for so long. I'll have you back and as for that bitch Christie…I have something for her.
~Ling
She even signed her name. What a dumb bitch. Well I really don't have to worry about her…I have to worry about what's happening to me now…this baby, Jin and the truth. Watching what happens when I tell Jin that I am pregnant and having to tell Eddy too. I really want to keep this from Eddy, but I really don't know if I can. I guess I can keep this a secret for a little while longer…right?
I answered Hwoarang's question. "Yeah. Since Eddy wanted to be a bitch and not tell anyone he was moving back to Brazil and not even that but not telling me that he didn't want to be with me anymore either."
Hwoarang looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think that he doesn't want to be your boyfriend anymore?"
I stared at him. "You can't see it? The sudden moving away and the ignorance, bad attitude as well as him ignoring me…what is there not to tell?"
He nodded. He could see that I was right about that. Suddenly we heard Trevene walk out of her room all grumpy and looking scary. We totally forgot that she was in there. When she caught sight of Hwoarang and Jin she ran right back into her room and shut the door. Guess she thought that Hwoarang and Jin looked horrible today…
I sat on the couch and turned off the television as she followed me and held me close to him, nibbling my ear. Hwoarang smiled at the two of us. I guess her really thought that we made a good couple. Trevene ended up coming out the room less than a minute later with her hair in a ponytail but she still had her pajamas on. Hwoarang picked her up and started to swing her around in the air. She giggled and swore at him about twenty times and then he put her down.
It was when Hwoarang had put Trevene down that I had remembered that I had a doctors appointment today at 2:50 pm. I cursed under my breath and then I looked at the clock. It was already two. "Damn," I cursed as I ran to get my shoes and socks.
"What?" asked Trevene whom Hwoarang was holding.
"I have a doctors appointment at 2:50 today and I totally forgot." I had just slipped my other shoe on and I ran to get my purse.
"How could you forget something like that?" asked Jin looking at me amused. He watched as I looked through each of my five purses for my id as well as my pass to the clinic. Once I found the right purse I was ready to run out the door, but I remembered I forgot something.
I ran over to Jin and kissed him. "Bye, Jin." I waved at Trevene and Hwoarang and flew out the door in a hurry.
*************
The wait to see the doctor seemed like forever but it was the only thing I could do. As I waited, I seen children as young as nine months in the waiting room with their parents waiting to see the doctor. Blood pressure as well as well as height and weight was already taken so it won't take that long in the doctors' office. One couple caught my attention while I was waiting to see my doctor. The couple seemed to be as young as I was. The mother was holding their two-month-old baby boy. All three of them looked like a really great family. I couldn't help but wonder whether Jin and I would make a great family like that as well…but then again we may not even be a family if I don't tell him the truth.
I was so wrapped up in the little family that I didn't hear my doctor call my name. "Christie Monteiro?"
I quickly looked at the doctor and responded by getting up and walking over to her. "How are you today, Christie?" asked the doctor as we walked to her office.
"Good," I responded.
Once we got to the doctors' office I had to change into an open back hospital gown. Once that was done I had to wait for the doctor to come back who took forever and during that time I decided to just sit there and look around her room. I looked at the different family photos of her and her three children as well as the photos of other patients that she has had.
Once she got back she sat down in the doctors' chair and was ready to begin. She looked at me with her bright blue eyes and asked, "Are we ready to begin?"
I shrugged. "Either now or never." I watched as she pulled out her stethoscope and began with my heartbeat first. She moved it around my chest first, telling me to breathe deep breaths in and out. Then after that she moved it over to my back telling me to do the same as before.
"Okay, your heartbeat sounds good." Next she checked my ears and my eyes, making sure that they were okay. Surprisingly she was done with that pretty quickly. Now was the part that I couldn't face. Her checking my stomach to see how far along I am in my pregnancy. I lied down on the table slowly and took a deep breath waiting for her to probe my stomach made for two.
Her fingertips pressed into the sides of my stomach first, then the middle. Then she looked up at me with a smile. Please tell me that I'm not pregnant. "Christie, I hope you know that you are three months pregnant."
Three months?! That can't be right… "Three months?"
The doctor stared at me puzzled. "Yes, three months. Were you given another calculation?"
I nodded. "Yes. I thought that I was two months pregnant."
The doctor examined my stomach one more time before letting me sit up. "No Christie. I'm afraid you are three months pregnant. You see your stomach is showing a little now meaning that you are around three or three months pregnant." The doctor started to rustle through her book with my medical records in it.
"You see Christie, when you came to the hospital two months ago for a stress attack, not only did you have that but you also had another life that had just made one month in your stomach." Smooth talk for a doctor.
The doctor looked at me with a look of concern. "Aren't you happy about this."
I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Happy?! I am three months pregnant and I am in college and to top it all off I don't know who the father is!" I just spilled my guts out to a doctor. Now I'm going to have to go to counseling and everything else she prescribes now.
The doctor looked at me. "Well we can help you find out who the father is if you want us to through paternity testing…"
"No!" I screamed. "You don't need to help me with anything! I can work this out on my own." I grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom to change. The doctor followed me to the door of the bathroom and began to speak to me through the door.
"Christie if you let us help you then you will be a lot happier."
"Bullshit."
I didn't listen to anymore she had to say. When I was done I took my purse and left, leaving the doctor standing by the hospital door.
*************
As I exited the hospital, I saw a familiar face lurking in the hospital entrance. I wasn't too sure who it was but whoever it was I didn't want them to see me like this. I had been crying so my face was tear-streaked, and I was really cranky. I couldn't help my attitude…I was three months pregnant and didn't want to believe it. "Christie!" they yelled but I didn't stop. I kept on walking until I reached the street corner. Then I tried to flag down a cab but for some reason they just didn't want to stop.
They kept on calling, so I just turned around to face them. "What?!" I yelled frustrated yet annoyed.
"That's not a nice way to talk to your boyfriends father." I looked up to see Kazuya Mishima standing in front of me with a long black street limo and limo driver all in back of him. I just stood there in shock…this is the perfect time to see Jin's father, after I find out that I'm three months pregnant…and knowing that the baby may not be his. I had started to tear up but I tried to hide it like I hide everything else. "Christie, are you feeling all right?"
I looked at him. "Yes, sir. Just fine."
He frowned. "Okay. How about I give you a ride back to your dorm room, hmmm?"
I didn't refuse. It would probably ease some tension in my bones to ride in a fancy limousine and drink some wine while Jin, Hwoarang and Trevene await my arrival. Yeah right…during the whole ride all I thought about was the unborn baby that was making it's home in my uterus. Man, and here I am trying to find out who the father is…Jin or Eddy. I am pretty positive that it is Eddy's being that I am three months pregnant and not two. But of course, I could be wrong. Kazuya looked at me with a confused look as I stared out the window during the ride home.
"Is there something the matter, Christie?"
I looked at him with wide eyes. "No Mr. Mishima. Nothing is the matter…what makes you think that?"
"For one you look as though you are going to explode and two your holding your stomach as you look out the window." I think he knows that I am pregnant. If Jin's father finds out that I am pregnant before Jin, then Jin really wont be able to trust me. So I'll keep it from them both until I feel that they and everyone should know.
"I have just been feeling sick lately Mr. Mishima, that's all." I continued to look out the window.
Kazuya raised an eyebrow at me. "Really? I guess that's why you went to the doctor, huh?" He paused for a minute, then continued. "Jin told me about you going to the hospital about two months ago for a stress attack."
I looked at him again. "Yes, I did."
Kazuya chuckled and now he looked out the window. "He really cares for you. He cares more for you than he did that Xiaoyu girl."
I stared at him once again with wide eyes. "He…does?"
He looked at me once again and this time we were both looking at each other. "Yes. But don't tell the boy I said that or else he'll start crying through the receiver that he can't trust me with anything."
I laughed. Well…Kazama cares for me. I really need to tell him about this baby on the way…but I don't think that I can right now. It would hurt him too much if I told him right away. But then maybe it wouldn't. After getting out of the limo and saying my goodbyes to Mr. Mishima, I decided to jog up the stairs to my dorm. When I got in the dorm room, it was a full house. Julia and Steve were there along with Jin, Hwoarang and Trevene. Jin got up and greeted me with a kiss while Trevene pushed him out of the way to hug me.
"What's with the full house?" I ask while getting a drink of water. Trevene ran over to me with her Stiletto heels on, nearly breaking her neck half way there.
"Girl, we were waiting for you to get back. Of course we had to have a gathering and everyone had to be here."
I stared at her for a minute. "Why?"
She laughed hitting me hard on my back making me cough. "Your funny." I didn't find it funny. What made Steve come here all of a sudden? Last thing I knew he couldn't stand to be around us and he was too good for us. I really had enough of plans being made without me as well as all this friend shit now, just because I happened to go to the hospital, what…two months ago?! I decided to wait it out for a few minutes, just to see what happens.
During this little gathering, Steve made a total ass of himself thinking that he was better than everyone there. I can't stand the fact that he even thinks that he is better than his on girlfriend, just because he is a fucking boxer. I usually don't say good things about Julia but I really think that she could do much better. It is really a disgusting sight to see them make-out on the couch. Jin and Hwoarang were talking and being loud as they wanted to be while Trevene stood by the door with me.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I pointed to Steve. "What made you invite him here? He is such an asshole."
She looked at me with a dumbfounded look. "You really have been having mood swings lately. What's wrong with you?"
I looked at her and frowned. "Nothing! Nothing is wrong with me! Just because I have a mood swing every once in a blue moon there has to be something wrong with me?!" Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at me once they heard my voice. No I'm the center of attention…jeez why won't they just leave me alone?
"Christie?" asked Julia who was now walking over to me. "You okay?"
I looked at her and turned up my lip. "I'll be fine when your asshole of a boyfriend leaves. His conceited ass doesn't need to be here."
She put her hands on her hips and frowned. "Christie he isn't an asshole. You used to like him before. What happened now?"
I frowned harder now. "No I didn't. I never liked that son of a bitch! I want him out of here…there is no way I stay in here with him here!"
Steve got up. I guess he was going to say something smart but he realized that Jin and Hwoarang were here. Jin and Hwoarang along with Trevene and Julia looked at me dumfounded. They couldn't believe that I was acting this way…but I was. I guess my hormones were raging right about now because I was ready to pick Steve up by his collar and throw him out.
"Christie, no one said you had to be here."
That did it. I charged at Steve but was stopped by Jin's strong hands holding me back. I was kicking, screaming and cursing at Steve while Jin held me back. Steve grabbed his things and his girl and got ready to go but I wasn't done with him yet. I let myself free of Jin's grasp and attacked Steve from behind making him fall on the floor face first. Then I started to punch him in the head constantly, my hits making him bruise and bleed. Trevene pulled Julia back as Hwoarang and Jin tried to pull me off of him but I wouldn't let go. I grabbed onto Steve's sweater and continued to beat him upside the head he now screaming and hollering for me to stop. I was screaming and hollering for Jin and Hwoarang to let go and they were grunting while trying to get me to get off of him.
They finally got me off of him after about five minutes of pulling. Steve got up and held his head while stumbling on his feet. Julia ran over to Steve and looked at the back of his head.
"There is no way you can fight tomorrow. She really did damage."
Steve couldn't really hear her because he was seeing stars himself. Jin held on to my waist as he tried to keep me from attacking Steve again and Hwoarang tended to Trevene who was frustrated and crying right about now. I was kicking Jin in his shins as he tried to pick me up and keep me from hitting the floor but I kicked him really hard in his right knee, which sent him crumbling down to the floor in pain. That gave me a chance to run for Steve again but this time Hwoarang caught me and wouldn't let me go. Trevene hurriedly got Steve and Julia out the door while Hwoarang held me.
Once they were out the door, Hwoarang let me go. "Damn, Christie! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
It turned to face him. "He is!" I screamed, pointing to the door. I watched as Hwoarang went to help Jin up, who was holding his knee in pain on the floor. Jin and Hwoarang's clothes both had footprints on them and Trevene was hysterical. Reality finally hit me…I don't need this baby. If it causes this much trouble then I don't need this baby.
Hwoarang helped Jin to the couch while Trevene went to get him an ice pack. "Christie, those mood swings have got to go," Jin said while holding his knee in agony.
I looked to the floor. "Now you're ashamed?!" asked Hwoarang sitting on the couch, exhausted.
I stared at him. "I need to tell you something…all of you."
Hwoarang frowned. "The hell you do! All that shit that you just unleashed was uncalled for. What?! The doctor gave you some medicine or something?!"
"Would you just listen to me?!"
Trevene walked over and handed Jin the ice pack as Jin pulled up his pants leg. "We are but your not saying anything," she said watching Jin put on the ice pack.
"Christie I don't know how much more of that shit I can take." Jin said cringing as he put the cold ice pack on his knee. "Anymore of that and I won't have a knee."
I clenched my teeth together then screamed, "I'm pregnant!"
