A week later, Kai could get out of the bed. Tala was already out of jail… once he was minor age and he testified he suffer from a child trauma. Tala went to his house, were everybody decided to pass a very good time. Brittany was very happy and made him a cake… hours later Tala was in the hospital with stomach's aches.
"Poor Tala, I don't wanted to be the one who marry Brittany!" says Brian.
"If I were Tala, I'll get an housekeeper." Says Tyson. Erika sits near them with her hand on her belly.
"What's wrong Erika? Don't tell me you also ate Brittany's cake?" asks Tyson.
"It's that smell from Alexa's paella… it's freaking me out." Says Erika. Kai sits near her and hugs she.
"His everything ok, sweetheart?" asks Kai. Erika looks to him.
"I'm not feeling so well!" Erika gets up and runs to the bathroom. Kai looks to her.
"What's wrong with her?" asks Tyson.
"I'll see!" Kai gets up and meets Erika on the bathroom. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know…" Erika falls on Kai's arms. "I need to sleep… I'm not fine… I…"
"Come on, I'll put you in your bed." Kai picks Erika and put her on his bed. Erika smiles to him.
"You know it's not healthy for you that I sleep near you…" says Erika. Kai smiles, kneeling down near her.
"I always told you that you were my decease…" plays Kai. Erika laughs.
"Don't play with it Kai…"
"Erika." Kai puts his serious face. Erika looks to him. Kai puts his hand inside of his pocket and takes out a small squared box. Erika looks to it. "I… I bought this before I went to coma, but I couldn't get a change to give it to you." Kai open the box and shows a beautiful golden ring with a very big diamond on it. Erika's eyes open wide.
"What a big… " Erika was about to pick it, but Kai grabs her left hand. Erika blushes.
"Erika Valkova… do you want to become Lady Hiwatari?" asks Kai. Erika looks to him, smiling.
"What?"
"Would you marry me?" asks Kai. Erika screams of joy and hugs Kai.
"Of course I will! Oh Kai!" Both looked blushed to each other and then kissed. After that lovely kiss, Kai puts the ring on Erika's finger.
"Do you think we will be happy?" asks Kai. Erika looks to him.
"Of course we will. We will take of our Kaiser… and Ornulu too." Says Erika.
"Why don't we go to the cinema this afternoon?" asks Kai. Erika accepts.
Tala came back from the hospital. Brian and Spencer looked to him, pointing and laughing of his humiliation.
"Tala, you're green!" laughs Brian.
"I wanted to make Brittany happy… that cake… fuck it tasted so bad." Laments Tala. "Once nobody else ate it, I've got to eat it alone."
"Tala, mon Cherri, I've made you a coffee." Says Brittany. Tala froze.
"Dear… I… the doctor told me to not eat anything in the next days." Lies Tala.
"Oh! I made it with so much love… oh well, I don't you try, Brian?" Brittany shows Brian the coffee. Brian flees. Brittany was about to look to Spencer but he wasn't already there. Then, Brittany looks to Tala.
"NOOOOOO!" Tala thought, but outside he was smiling.
Kai and Erika were in the cinema. Erika had a popcorn basket on her lap, but she got sick just by looking at them. Kai was more certain that Erika was not ok.
"Erika, tell me, what's wrong?" asks Kai. Erika looks to him.
"I don't know… I…" Erika faints. Kai screams.
"ERIKA!" Everybody told him to shut the fuck up.
Kai phoned his motorist to catch them on the cinema and drive them to Biovolt, so Tatiana could exam Erika.
Tatiana put Erika on the nursery bed.
"So… what are you feeling?" asks Tatiana. Erika looks to her.
"My belly hurts… my head hurts…" complies Erika. Tatiana put a machine above her and turns to the computer near her chair.
"We'll see!" Tatiana turned on the machine and the PC, drinking a coup of coffee and she could have and image of Erika's bones… Tatiana gets squeezed and splits put the coffee. Kai looks to her.
"What?" Asks Kai. Tatiana makes a tricky smile.
"Kai… you knotty boy!" says Tatiana. Kai looks to her, blushing.
" What?"
"I thought you couldn't have sex!" asks Tatiana.
"I can't. The last time I 'really' had sex with Erika was almost a year ago." Says Kai. Tatiana gets worried.
"A year… then how can this be?" Tatiana looks to the PC.
"What's wrong with me?" asks Erika, getting up.
"Well Erika… did you date anyone else but Kai?" asks Tatiana. Erika looks to Kai and he to her and then they look back to Tatiana.
"Well… I date Ray… we started a month ago but we broke up when Kai woke." Tells Erika. Tatiana prints a paper and holds it on her hands. "Why are you asking?"
"Every time you had sex you used condoms?" asks Tatiana.
"Yes. I was even taking pills to avoid getting pregnant." Tells Erika.
"Every single time?" asks Tatiana.
"Well…" remembers Erika. "When we were drugged and had sex on a gutter… we wear nothing."
"Erika, that time was enough." Tatiana delivers Erika the paper. "You haven't got any gastroenteritis… that was your body reacting with the pills you were taking. Your body was protecting your baby."
"Baby?" asks Erika. "What does Kai Jr have got to do with this?"
"It's not Kaiser. You're pregnant of Ray." Says Tatiana. Erika looks froze to her.
"What?" Erika looks to the paper and starts reading it. "It's not true… it… it cannot be true!" Erika starts crying.
"Let me see that!" says Kai, taking the paper out of Erika's hands. "It's true." Erika looks to Kai, crying a lot.
"I didn't want to get pregnant!" says Erika. "Believe Kai! Don't leave me!" Erika was worried with Kai reaction.
"I…" Kai didn't know what to say. "Erika… do you really want to have that baby?"
"What?" Asks Erika. Kai puts his hands on Erika's shoulders.
"Listen me! We're engage now, that baby… do you really want to have a child with Ray?"
"Kai… you're asking me to take my child out?" Asks Erika. "Being or not being a child of Ray… it's my child. I'll never kill a child." Erika cries. "If you want to leave me because of that I…"
"Erika, who talk about leaving? I was asking you if you wanted to have that child… if you want to, I'll not be mad with you. Well… we'll need to tell Ray. Which is going to be the hardest part… Ray will regain hope." Says Kai, hugging Erika. "Let's go home."
Max and Tyson were in the sofa seeing their favorite show "El-Rei dos Hermanos". Ray comes down stairs with a traveling-bag. Max and Tyson look to him.
"What's with the bag?" asks Tyson. Ray lowers his look.
"Ray?" asks Max.
"I decided to leave this house… and go back to China." Says Ray. Max and Tyson get up.
"Ray! You cannot go back!" Says Tyson. "What's wrong with you? What's your problem? And the university? We are going to be graduated! Ray? We're a team!"
"Ray… is it because of Erika?" asks Max. Tyson looks to Max and them to Ray. Ray sadly smiles.
"I… I cannot take this anymore. I saw Kai along with Erika everywhere. I… we are already to old to play beyblade in the official league…"
"We can enter in the veteran league!" Remembers Tyson. "Ray?"
"Tyson! I don't want to pass the rest of my life crying for someone who cannot offer me anything… like love…" yields Ray. "I love Erika… I lost my virginity with her… I wanted to pass my life with her… to full her with kids… but she prefers staying with Kai… who cannot even kiss her without having a convulsion!"
"Ray…" Tyson was going to speak but Kai and Erika entered. Ray turns his head aside. "Kai… Erika? So early?"
Ray step forward and stops in front of Erika.
"Erika… I've got something to say to you." Ray saw Erika was about to speak but cut her word. "It's important, so please don't stop me."
"Believe me, Ray, what I've got to tell you it's more important that everything you could have to tell me." Says Erika. Ray looks to her, noticing she cried before.
"What's wrong?" asks Ray. Tala, Spencer and Brian entered the living room and turned the channel so they could see Smack Down. Erika starts tearing.
"Ray… remember when we had sex in that gutter?" asks Erika. Ray looks to her. Tala turns to them saying, "Gutter?"
"You know I don't. I was drugged… you were drugged." Tells Ray. Erika looks to Ray.
"Do you remember I had a gastroenteritis?" Asks Erika. Ray looks to her. "Well that was not a gastroenteritis… it was my body reacting to the pills I was taking…"
"And? What do I have got to do with that?" asks Ray. Erika looks to him.
"Everything…" cries Erika. Ray becomes worried. "My body was protecting… my body was protecting my baby…"
"Baby?" They all said.
"I don't think Kai Jr has got something to do with that!" says Tyson. Ray looks to Erika and his eyes gain a very beautiful bright.
"Wait…" Ray could not fit himself with joy. "Wait… you're saying…" Erika looks to him and signs with her head. "Ah! I… I'm… Wait… I need to assimilate it… I… Ray Kon… I'm going to be… a daddy?"
"What?" Say Max and Tyson.
"WHAT?" Says Tala. He flies to Erika. "You're pregnant of Ray?" Erika lowers her look. "That's…" Tala tried to control his anger.
"Wonderful!" Ray grabs Erika and raises her. "I can't believe it! I'm going to have a baby with you! Oh Erika! I'm the happiest man on Earth!"
"Well, perhaps not!" Says Kai. Ray looks to him. "You have no money to take care of that baby."
"I don't need to have money! I'll take care of my child!" says Ray, putting Erika on the ground. "It's my baby!"
"If you want, I'll adopt your child and give him my name." Says Kai. "After all, Erika is my fiancée. I don't want to have bastards in my house."
"What are you saying?" asks Ray, getting mad. "It's my child, it will have my name! I don't need your stupid money!"
"In that case, you're going to take care of that child alone. I'll not help you with nothing. You'll pay the baby's expenses alone! I want one thing to be clear in that Chinese's head, you're going to have a child with Erika; you're not going to date her or marry her. Erika is my fiancée and Kaiser's mother. You and your little bastard child just solve yourself alone. Did I made myself clear, Ray?" asks Kai. Ray looks to Erika. She doesn't seem to disagree with Kai. Ray looks to Kai.
"You're going to take Erika's child of her?" asks Ray.
"Of course not! After all, Ray, you're my friend and you have no fault of Erika's pregnant, you were drugged. Erika is going to take care of the baby. What I was saying is for you don't use the fact of having a child with Erika to have any kind of inner relations. You took care of my baby; it wouldn't be fair if I didn't take care of yours. I just said I'd not pay any bill."
"But…" Ray looks to Kai. Of course Kai didn't want him having inner relations with Erika… but she was going to have a baby. Ray realized he was not in position to comply. "Just promise you won't take my baby away from me… or Erika."
"Ok… I'll think about it." Says Kai, putting his arm around Erika. Kai and Erika leave. Tala left too. He couldn't look to Ray's face.
"How could he touch my sister… my other half… in a gutter? That's so anti-hygienic!" groans Tala.
After Tala left, Ray looks happy to Tyson and Max. The two saw his smile. Ray jumps and hugs them.
"I can't believe it! I'm going to have a child with Erika! Can't you see it! It's going to be awesome!" says Ray. Tyson and Max look to each other, feeling that baby was not going to bring fortune.
I everyone. I want to tell you that I will not write in the next month once my university will enter in the exam's term, means I need to study a lot. Until then, think what's about to go next. Will Ray have a girl or a boy and what will happen next… will Kai and Erika resist their instincts… or will Erika knife her engagement… or it will be done Kai.
Stay tuned for the next chapter… "Temptation"
Kisses for everyone.
