Chapter 5: Ultrasound, Boy And Adoption
-With Kai In The Morning-
Kiara was making so much noise that she woke Kai up. He rubbed his eyes before standing up and walking to the crib.
'Can't you sleep little more?' Kai asked after seeing the clock. It wasn't even 7am yet. Kiara jumped on the bed happily. She was full of energy. Kai yawned and let her out of the crib. Kai checked that door was firmly closed and went to lay back on the bed. He put a timer on his phone to wake him up an hour later.
After an hour Kai didn't feel as tired as earlier but he still felt exhausted. He noticed Kiara playing with her toys quietly. There was a new beep informing of a message. Kai sighed after reading the text.
'Mr. Hiwatari. You have been booked up with a new appointment with a doctor and check your child. Time is 10am.'
Kai dropped the phone next to him and sighed deeply. He was getting tired of this checking.
'Looks like we have a hospital visit today, again,' Kai picked Kiara and started their normal morning routine. Martha, Isabel and Veronica were out today and Kai had to take Kiara with him. He thought "had to" because he didn't want to expose Kiara into danger.
After eating Kai walked to a bus stop. Hospital pretty far away. He didn't have to wait for long when bus came. After paying few pucks Kai sat down and held Kiara in his lap. He just hoped no one would talk to him but next second after thinking this, boy recognized him.
'Hey! Aren't you Kai Hiwatari?!' his voice screamed smug. Kai kept his tightly on the front but boy continued pointing him out.
'Are you deaf or something? Whose kid are you pregnant with?' he asked. Other passengers were watching them. Kai didn't react to him and tightened his hold on Kiara. After few more turns bus was at the hospital.
'Does your boyfriend know it?' he tried over and over again but in vain. Kai stopped the bus and stepped out. In hurry, he jogged inside the hospital and headed towards the maternity clinic, at least at the door. He didn't want to seat there as an only boy.
Kai leaned against the wall and tried to calm his thoughts. He couldn't go out anymore without getting a sea of reporters or other people around him. He was taking deep breaths when someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was the woman nurse Kai met last time when taking ultrasound, Elisabeth.
'You can sit with others. You don't have to stand here,' she explained smiling.
'It feels stupid. I'm the only guy among them,' Kai snorted. Elisabeth chuckled before taking a hold on his right arm.
'Let's go check the baby.' Kai followed her grunting.
'Why do we have to do this? I don't need someone poking my stomach every week,' Kai questioned.
'We have to make sure that everything goes well. Since you have started to change your gender, we don't know how your body handles the baby,' Elisabeth answered.
'I'm fine! Everything went fine last time,' Kai pointed out as they arrived at her office door.
'I understand that you were in China back then. It was very good luck that nothing happened, since you are so young, but it won't guarantee the next time. Anything can go wrong,' Elisabeth said before glanced at Kiara, 'We do need to leave her for a while. If your partner was with you, he could have hold her in the mean time you are with me.' Kai tightened his hold as Elisabeth was thinking for a solution. Then she walked to a woman behind a computer.
Kai watched them talk for a while and then she turned around.
'I will take her to colleague of mine. She will be looked after,' she didn't give Kai a choice and took Kiara. Kai's gut told him to stop her but he did nothing. Faster he did what he was told, quicker he was out of here.
'In here,' Elisabeth opened the door. Kai saw the bed where he laid last couple times.
'Lay down and pull your shirt up,' she instructed. Sighing Kai did exactly what she said and watched her every move. For the tenth time she told what she was doing but Kai didn't listen. It felt like routine and soon it was over.
'There we go. Everything is done and looks fine. I would suggest less stress though,' Elisabeth said.
'I told you so and you don't have to tell me that,' Kai fixed his shirt and was almost out of the door when Elisabeth stopped him.
'I'm going to give you a new time before you leave,' she spoke calmly.
'To check the baby again? No thanks. I have more important things to do,' Kai snarled.
'I'm sure you do but we have… Well, we are just doing what we are told. If you were an adult, this would be different. I hope someone adopts you and your daughter that you won't be separated,' Elisabeth smiled. Kai bit his tongue and left the room. Outside he saw a nurse holding Kiara and handing her back.
'See you next week,' she greeted.
'Whatever,' Kai said and left the hospital. This was seriously stressing him out. If they didn't want him to stress, they could just stop pressuring him to go these visits.
'Mama,' Kiara said. She made silly faces and smiled widely.
'Are you trying to get me smile?' Kai chuckled. Kiara nodded and hugged Kai around his neck.
'Okay, okay. Calm down little teddy bear,' Kai smiled.
After the drive back to the orphanage Kai headed to his room and took his phone. It was almost lunch time and Kai was out of baby food again but he mostly bought them for snack or desert. He dialed Ray's number and got a happy reply.
'How is my love,' Ray asked.
'Annoyed,' Kai watched Kiara play on the floor. He stood up and made sure door was locked. He did this every time he was talking out loud.
'Why is this? Did something happen?'
'Not really… I was just called to another ultrasound. Next week is probably the sixth time or something.'
'I don't know what their problem is but you have to remember that they think you were a female.'
'You're right about that but it still annoys me. Can I ask you something?'
'Sure.'
'Why… Why is it that I get Mark's face in my head? I want to forget him but he's like some illness that won't go away.'
'I believe it's because of the bond. The baby "sense" that father is somewhere else than… with you.'
'Fucking great. And it causes me to think his stupid face?!' Kai accidently raised his voice and lowered it immediately.
'It's a side effect…' Kai picked a weird tone in Ray's voice.
'Ray? Spill it.'
'…What?'
'You sound weird. What's going on?' Ray stayed silent for a while before speaking up.
'A phone just rang… Tyson went to answer and put the phone on speaker… It was Lee and he said that…'
'What?' Kai was getting impatient.
'He said that Mark and Charlie left the village and don't know where they are now.'
'What… Are you fucking kidding me?!' Kiara stopped playing and watched Kai with wide eyes.
'I wish I was. We have to contact Mr. Dickenson next and ask for advice. Be careful… I love you.'
'I love you too,' Kai didn't hide anger from his voice and hang up. He dropped the phone next to him and rubbed his eyes. This was getting ridiculous. What else was going to happen?
He felt small hands touch his legs and he saw Kiara had crawled to him.
'I'm not going to allow anything happen to you. I promise you,' Kai stroked her hair.
-Behind The Door-
Ren was leaning next to the door and heard entire conversation.
'Looks like I have to update my post,' he took his phone out and opened the post about Kai and Ray he had published.
'UPDATE! Kai Hiwatari's unborn baby's father's first name is Mark!'
After it was done Ren closed the phone and kept a big smile. It didn't take long when new comment came.
'What a whore! Who's Mark by the way? If that older brat is Ray's and the baby Mark's, then Hiwatari is a cheater too. People like him should leave this country and rot in hell.'
Ren laughed at the comment and liked it. He straightened up and went back to his room where others were playing games.
-With Kai-
Out of nowhere, his phone started to beep not once, or twice but at least thirty times. Kai opened the phone and saw notifications he was apparently tagged in.
'Isn't this…' Kai thought out loud. This was the post Ren had made. Kai opened the post and saw an update.
'What the fuck?!' Kai shout out. Not only that but comments were full of shit. Calling out him, Ray and even Kiara.
'What the fuck is wrong with them?!' Kai gripped his phone when he realized something. The phone call!
'Ren must have heard me but how?!' Kai moved his eyes to the door and it screamed the answer right into his face. There was only one way Ren could have known this.
'He was fucking eavesdropping!' Kai growled. He felt so stupid. Why didn't he even thought about that?
'Fucking hell!' Kai literally through his phone on the wall and caused Kiara to cry.
'I'm sorry,' Kai quickly picked her up and swayed her back and forth. Kai didn't notice but small tears appeared from his eyes.
'I hate hormones,' Kai cursed and wiped his eyes. He has felt stress before and never cried about it before, until now.
-Four Months Later-
'Shit!' Kai cursed after sitting up. The stomach had grown so much during past months. He even had to put school on hold and it made bad mouthing worse on the net. And he was booked with an appointment to the ultrasound. They were going to check the gender.
'Promise to tell us the result,' Martha said. She had promised to take care of Kiara and was holding her. Kai had even given them his number if they needed something, and they had called couple of times when Kai was out with Ray. They always asked what to do if they didn't know what Kiara wanted.
'I think baby is a girl,' Isabel said.
'No, a boy,' Veronica protested.
'Okay. I promise to tell you the gender,' Kai said and left. At least the girls were nice about this and they were the only once. It looked like Ren had gotten everyone else on his side.
Kai was anxious entire bus drive but walking was agony. Kai's back hurt and Elisabeth would definitely notice it. And she did.
'How long has it been like this?' she asked as Kai layed down.
'Just now. Just do your job and let me leave,' Kai sighed.
'Alright,' she nodded and started the ultrasound, 'Looks like… Baby is a boy. Congrats.'
'Boy… That's nice,' Kai let out a small smile. Then his phone rang. It was Martha.
'Hello. Is…' Kai began but Martha cut him off.
'I'm sorry!' Martha cried.
'What's going on? What happened?' Kai shot up from the bed he was sitting.
'Hanna came and took her! I… went after her but she said that Kiara was adopted!'
Kai froze. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
'That… can't be!' with that he dashed out and tried to at least jog to the bus stop and catch the next one.
Back in the orphanage Kai saw Martha in tears. She ran to him and grabbed his arms.
'I tried to hold them that you could see her but Hanna persisting. There was nothing we could do,' she exclaimed but Kai pushed past her and walked to elderly woman.
'Who took her?!' he growled.
'I can't and won't reveal private information,' Hanna said bluntly. She didn't even move her gaze from the computer screen.
'She's my daughter!' Kai hit the table.
'It doesn't matter. There are rules and I follow them. And the moment she was adopted, she got new and much better parents. She's not your daughter anymore,' Hanna stood up and left Kai dumfounded. Kai began to shake and fell on his knees. He didn't care and started to cry openly.
'That stupid bitch!' Kai thought crying. Ria had promised to prevent this.
'Kai…' Martha touched his shoulder but Kai pushed her off and ran to his room. Even Kiara's stuff had been taken.
With shaky hands Kai dialed Ray's number.
'Ray…' even Kai's voice shook.
'Kai? What is it? What's wrong?' Ray was flustered.
'They… Those… FUCKERS TOOK KIARA!' Kai yelled crying.
'WHAT?! Who?'
'I don't know! Someone adopted her!' Kai's face was wet and eyes red from tears.
'Shit! I'm going to call Ria and find out what's going on. Hold on,' Ray promised. Kai heard him hang up. There was an old clock on the wall and only sound was coming from it. Kai was leaning his head against the door and let tears pour down.
'I shouldn't have let her out of my sight,' Kai was only thinking this. He had to find out who took her, somehow.
'I'm going to find you. Don't worry,' Kai whispered.
-With Ray-
'Kenny! Find me Ria Jordan's phone number!' Ray shouted.
'It's here but why?' Kenny asked.
'Kai called me and someone adopted Kiara,' Ray said.
'What?!' everyone shouted.
'Weren't it decided that they were going to be adopted together?' Tyson asked.
'I thought so too! Ria has some explaining to do,' Ray said and placed phone next to his ear. It rang three minutes when Ria answered.
'Ria Jordan here.'
'This is Ray Kon. I wanted to ask you something.'
'Alright.'
'Do you have any idea why Kiara Hiwatari was adopted and taken from her mother and from me?'
Ria stayed silent for a while, 'I do…' Ria finally said, 'I'm not allowed to tell you who adopted her but I can tell you that people in charge of Child Protective Service decided that this was for the best.'
'Who allowed them to decided that?! Kiara was happy with us and clearly not in any danger!' Ray was in rage.
'I'm sure you know the post on the internet,' Ria said. Ray's eyes widened slightly.
'We saw this as a threat towards her and the unborn baby boy. Not only that, both of you were lying for some reason and we know that baby is not yours. Of course the fact that both of you are underage is big factor in this matter.'
'Maybe not but what does it matter? We had an incident in China and Mark, as you know, disappeared… Wait a minute… Are you saying that you will separate Kai from baby as well?!'
'It's for the best. Hanna Reed who is in charge in orphanage told me that Kai's not stable or old enough to take care of two small children. Our people agreed with her. If Kai is adopted with the baby, they won't be separated but that would be a miracle. Usually, teenagers live in orphanage until they are eighteen.'
'I can't believe this! Don't you care how Kai feels or were you blind?! Kiara was happy and Kai is able to take care of her!' Ray was shouting so loudly that others were scared. They had never seen Ray like this.
'I'm sorry. It's out of our hands now. Unless Kiara's new parents break rules or hurt her, she will stay with them. I'm sorry,' Ria did sound sad.
'Yeah, right,' Ray hang up before yelling out, 'SHIT!'
'Sounds like things are bad…' Max said quietly.
'Yeah… Kiara was put on adoption and separated from us because we are too young. Not only that but baby will be taken too when he's born!' Ray walked back and forth.
'He?' Tyson asked eye narrowing.
'Oh… Ria called the baby a boy. Looks like gender had been found out,' Ray replied annoyed, 'Is there any way to find out who has Kiara? Or can we complain about this to someone?'
'Let's start with Mr. Dickenson. He could complain to government too,' Kenny suggested.
'Let's do that. Kai is very desperate and down. He was crying on the phone,' Ray said.
'This is bad,' Tyson nodded and agreed with Ray.
-With Kai-
Kai was sitting on the bed and hugging his legs. He had missed the lunch and dinner. His phone was ringing for the third time. He hadn't answered the last two calls. Lifting his head up a little he saw that Ray was calling. Kai took the phone.
'Hi…' he said.
'This won't make you happy but… Ria Jordan told me that their people think this is best for Kiara and when baby is born… he's going to be put adoption too and…'
'Taken away from me…' Kai stroked his stomach and felt a kick.
'Pretty much. Because we are too young to take care of them and Hanna Reed might have started this.'
'Hanna?' Kai straightened up.
'She thinks you are too unstable to take care of them or something. We are going to contact Dickenson and government and stop this.'
'What a bitch. She did this on purpose,' Kai growled.
'On purpose?'
'She keeps calling me a girl and people like me shouldn't have children in the first place and keeps ranting about my age and how she doesn't approve it! Fucking bitch,' Kai snorted. He should have known.
'Oh my god! Just don't go punch her or anything. We will tell this to Dickenson as well. Just take care. We try to be quick,' Ray promised. He was right. In three months Kai was going to be in labor.
'Yeah. Love you,' Kai said and hang up.
'Doing your job. Yeah, right,' Kai gritted his teeth. Things couldn't get any worse.
I feel like time moved fast there but I hope you liked it.
