'I have never been so nervous in my entire life, except for maybe after the first night that Van and I slept together,' Fiona thought as she seemed to perform the daily ritual in the toilet that she had become accustomed to over the past few weeks. She was really starting to tire of it.
Fiona was really starting to fear that what Moonbay said was true. That she really was pregnant. Something inside of her knew that it was true. It was a voice that she tried to ignore but was still unable to.
It was kind of strange. The thought of that both pleased and also scared Fiona so greatly. Pleased her because it was made by both her and Van, and scared her because the world they live in at that moment is no place to raise a child. Its life would be in constant danger. Especially with all of the people that were after Fiona.
Moonbay walked into the room and saw Fiona in a position that she was constantly starting to find her in/ Moonbay sighed before she spoke. "Fiona, I am telling you that you really need to see a doctor. I am pretty sure I know what it is though," she said walking over to Fiona and taking a seat by her.
"Why go to something when I already know the answer to my problem. It scares me so much that I wish that it isn't what I actually think it is," Fiona said standing up from the toilet and walking out of the bathroom but not before getting a drink to get the bile taste out of her mouth.
"We can't be positive of it Fiona. Although it is the most logical guess, it is still just a guess none the less. You were sick not too long ago before it all happened, maybe it is just coming back," Moonbay said trying to ease her friend's nerves.
"No, you and I both know that it isn't that. Part of me knows it as if it was expecting it to happen. I guess that you are right though, I really should see a doctor to make sure," Fiona said standing up and walking towards the door.
A thought came to Moonbay's mind and she couldn't stop herself from asking the one question on her mind. "What if you really are? What are you going to tell Van?" Moonbay asked causing Fiona to stop in her tracks and tense up.
Fiona shook a little in fear but she managed to keep her cool. "If that is the case, then I will tell him the truth. I can't just keep running away whenever a problem happens," she said quietly before walking out of the door just wanting to get the inevitable question answered.
Fiona couldn't help but pace back and forth in her room. She had taken the test a few days ago and now had the results of it with her. She couldn't get herself to open it. Every time she tried, she would end up chickening out.
"Get a grip on yourself Fiona and just read the results," she told herself as she picked up the envelope from the bed. She dropped it a second later and began her pacing once again. 'Am I that scared of the possibility of being a mother?' she asked herself nervously.
She was shaking as she reached out and grabbed the envelope again. 'I will find out the truth,' she told herself as she carefully opened up the envelope and pulled out the small folded piece of paper that was hidden within.
Despite that fact that the results were in her hands, Fiona just couldn't bring herself to look at it. Her shaking just continued to increase as she looked at the folded piece of paper.
She took a deep breath before she started to unfold the paper. Her eyes were tightly closed by the time that it was completely open. She took in another deep breath and opened her eyes and looked over it all. It told her exactly what she had feared all along. "Oh no," Fiona said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
The door to her room opened and Van stepped into it only to have his ears assaulted with the soft noise of Fiona's crying. He immediately ran towards her and wrapped her up with his arms. "Fiona, what's wrong?" he asked in a soft tone as she shook within his arms.
Fiona looked up into Van's dark eyes and this only made her start to cry even more than she already was. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," she continued to cry into his chest while her arms wrapped around him to keep him close to her.
Van was really starting to worry now. He had no idea what Fiona had done wrong and yet she was saying sorry to him. "What's going on Fiona? Why are you saying sorry when you have done nothing wrong?" Van asked trying to keep his worried voice calm.
Fiona looked up into Van's worried eyes again and continued to cry into his shirt, "I'm sorry, I swear that I did not mean for it to happen," she said with the results laying forgotten right beside her. She noticed that Van didn't even seem to notice.
Van took a hold of Fiona by her shoulders and pushed her away just enough so that he could look clearly into her eyes. "What are you sorry about Fiona? You just keep saying sorry and I do not know what is going on," Van said looking at Fiona with his hurt eyes since she wasn't telling him what was going on.
Fiona moved out of his grasp and just stared at the floor. She reached out and grabbed a hold of Van's hand and brought it towards her putting it upon her stomach. She saw his eyes widen a bit as if realizing something. "I'm pregnant Van," she said looking him in the eye but she only received a shocked look in return. "I didn't mean for it to happen but it happened anyways," she said sadly.
Van just couldn't seem to find any words to say what was on his mind. 'Fiona's pregnant with my child? My child?' he said over and over in his head. "A-are you sure Fiona?" he asked and she nodded her head. "We're going to be parents?" he asked and she nodded her head again.
"Yes, we are. It may be dangerous to bring a child into this sort of world but I am not going to get rid of it," Fiona said and smiled slightly when Van nodded his head. "What are we going to do Van?" she asked softly as she leaned her head into his chest again.
Van didn't even wait until he answered the question. He smiled brightly before he started to speak. "That is easy. We will have the child and then raise it together. I can't believe that I am going to be a father," he said looking as happy as she had ever seen him before. "I know it is dangerous but I know we can do this together Fiona," he said holding her tightly to him.
"I can tell that you will make a great father Van. I just hope that I will be able to make a good mother to this child, our child," she said although she had this feeling like she knew what it would be like already.
Van smiled down at her with pride on his face. "I know you will make a great mother. It may just be a feeling but I know that it is right. I don't know what you are supposed to do because I have never had a mother to watch as I grew up. I know that you will be there for the child though," he said lightly stroking his fingers through her hair.
The way that Van spoke of his mother brought questions to Fiona's mind. "What happened to her Van? I know that your father is dead but what ever happened to your mother?" she asked and watched as pain flashed through his eyes.
"She died giving birth to me. I never had a chance to meet her, to know what she was like. Maria was lucky to be born first, to actually know our mother. I was only raised by Maria and my father up until the time of his death," he said in a quiet voice.
Fiona looked at Van with sympathy and rubbed his shoulders. "I'm sorry to hear that Van. I wish that she had lived. I would want to meet the woman that gave birth to a great person like you," she said softly kissing him on the cheek.
Van smiled for a second before it faded. "When I was younger, I would always hear my dad calling out my mothers name in his sleep from my room. It would always make me feel guilty, like I was the reason that he lost her. I always blamed myself. One day my father told me that stuff like that happens and that we should always make the best of what we are given. I intend to do that for this kid. I will not leave it with only one parent. We will raise this kid together and never regret anything. I will make this world a safe place for us to raise it. I will put an end to all the fighting," she said before kissing her full yon the mouth.
Fiona moaned into the kiss before he pulled away. "That sounds great. I guess all the worrying that I was doing was for nothing. I was worried about not being a good mother when you never had one. I will be there for our child and be the best mother that I can," she said resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. She felt tired from all her worrying and felt herself drifting off to sleep.
'That is all that you need to do Fiona,' he thought happily when he heard her breathing even out as she fell asleep on his shoulder. He carefully laid her on the bed and joined her by wrapping his arms around her waist and falling asleep right beside her.
Zack sat down in a giant chair behind a desk. He was deep in thought, mostly about Fiona. His few memories he had from before Amber's meddling were going through his head. It wasn't enough to tell him anything but he remembered the child of Van and Fiona's.
'I must put an end to that. There is something about that child that I can't quite remember. If I can get rid of it or stop it from be conceived then there won't be a link between the two of them,' he thought angrily as he slammed his fist down on the desk.
Ryan walked into the room with a grouchy look on his face. He had been that way since his leader had told him that they were abandoning the original plan. He said that he knew it was going to fail so they were doing something else. Ryan had no idea what was going on through his leaders mind.
Zack suddenly stood up from his seat with a wide smirk on his face. "I just had an idea and I need your help," he said with a smirk. 'Even if you are nothing but a worthless human,' he thought still grinning.
Ryan merely bowed in respect. "Of course sir, just tell me what it is that you need to have done and I will do it," Ryan said and when he stood up straight, a disk was thrown at him and he caught it with ease. "What is this sir?" he asked staring at the disk hoping to find some answers on it.
"Use the information that I have put on that disk to create a fake file. I am going to try and infiltrate the guardian force by becoming one of its members. What better way to get to Van Flyheight?" he asked although that wasn't what he had in mind. It was probable that none of the guardian force remembered him, meaning that he could get close to Fiona and try to get her to come with him.
"Smart idea, destroying the guardian force from the inside. No one would suspect one of its own members to do something like that. I will get right on it sir," he said before turning and walking out of the room. Something about Zack scared him now. He suddenly changed a few days before then and it made even Ryan nervous.
Zack stood up from his seat and crossed the room towards a hidden door that not even Ryan knew of. Even before his original plan failed, he had been doing a great deal of research into the ultimate power of the zoidians. It was a side quest to his original plan and they were supposed to converge at some point.
His plan had failed from what he remembered and so this was all that he could do for now. He knew that if he could get Fiona on his side that he could pull off something even greater. He could take back the planet from the humans that plagued it. Him the king and, and Fiona the queen at his side.
The child still worried him and he knew that there was something important to remember. He just hoped that it wasn't too late and that it had already come back into this world. 'Wait a minute. Even if it did it would still only be a baby and easy to take care of. Then again, if I did anything then Fiona would hate me for it,' he thought trying to find some answers to his dilemma.
"I hate it because of the fact that it is the child of Flyheight but I might be able to do something about that. What if I was to turn it into my own? Definitely a difficult task but I know just the way to do it. I need to get Fiona to pull it off. I need to get her to trust me though, and to turn all of her love for Flyheight into hate under her own will," he said to himself as he turned on a computer.
He stood up again after a second thought and turned off the computer. He walked across the room where there were several different chemicals all around it. 'Now, how did it go again?' he asked himself before the thought came to his mind and he set to work on it.
He worked for hours at a time. Barely taking any sort of break. Mixing different chemicals together and dumping the failures out. He knew that this was probably his only chance to get what he wanted before they realize who he is.
"Ah-ha!" he yelled in success as he held a small vile into the air and examined the dark blue liquid inside. "I have done it but that was only the easy part. Now comes the much more difficult part. I don't accept failure. So I know that it will be a success in the end," he said before laughing like the maniac that he was.
