Hitchhiker
- 15
Joe called everyday, making sure that Ken was okay. Davis
always asked him who it was he was talking to and everytime Ken would
just shush him and by the time Ken was off the phone, Davis would
forget to ask, or not care.
Joe was always giving him tips and
pointers on how to keep the baby and himself healthy. oe made a
dietary guideline for Ken to start following, making sure the baby
got enough nutrients.
Ken was currntly on the phone with Joe, who
was telling him why it was so importent to eat all the right foods,
especially now.
"You see Ken, there is a 95 chance that you
child will either be very weak, die at birth, or be mentally retarted
due to you being a male. Males were not meant to have children for a
reason. They don't have the right organs and food suplliment females
have. I just want to make sure you realize that."
"Thanks
Joe" mumbled ken, who was depressed on the other side of the
line.
"I'll talk to you later Ken" finished Joe,
hanging up. ken hung up the phone and walked into his and Davis'
room, where he plopped himself down on the bed.
Davis, who had
been reading a comic book on his bed, looked over at him and sighed,
irritated.
"Ken! What is the matter with you? For a week now
you've been on the phone for hours and afterwards, you're always all
depressed. What is going on?" Davis demanded to know.
Ken
shook his head. "Not now Davis...Please..." he begged,
then fell asleep.
Ken
walked into the room on his tiptoes, afraid that any movement may
break his sudden courage to tell Davis at last that he was with
child.It had been a week since Joe confirmed to him that he was a
pregnant.
He didn't want to admit it to himself, but after reading
Joe's results over and over again, and hearing it from Joe himself,
who wasn't about to lie to him, he couldn't deny it anymore. And now
it was time to tell Davis...
Ken gingerly knocked on the door to
davis' bedroom, peering inside to see that davis was...making his
bed?
Blinking, Ken took in the odd sight of his boyfriend actaully
doing something related to cleaning.
"D-Davis...?"
Davis turned towards the door at the sound of ken's voice. "I-I'm
not making my bed! Honest!" In panic, Davis rips the bedsheets
off the bed and onto the floor, Ken watching with a smile playing on
his lips as he watched it fall to the floor.
"You know,
that's not a bad thing" smiled Ken quietly, appreciating Davis'
goofiness to lighten his turmoil.
"I-I know! But it'll ruin
my reputation of having a messy room! And it will also prove to you
that your nagging has finally paid off!" huffed Davis.
Ken
smiled, then slowly remembered the whole point of coming in to talk
to him. He sighed, here goes...
"D-Davis?" began Ken,
walking up to his love and wrapping his arms and his waist. Davis
blinked him wide eyed for a moment, then smiled.
"Yes?"
Ken averted his gaze so that he wasn't looking into davis' eyes,
making Davis frown. "Y-You won't ever leave me...will
you?"
Davis laughed. "Ken! You ask this all the time and
the answer is still the same! No! I will never leave you!"
Ken
nodded into Davis' chest as he rested against him. "Even
if...I told you I...was pregnant...?"
Time seemed to
stand still...
Davis was froszen in his spot as Ken still held
him, his breathing seemed to slow considerably, only making Ken more
nervous.
"Davis?" ventured Ken bravely, finally looking
up into his face. davis was staring down at him coldly.
"Ken,
what are you talking about?"
"D-Davis, I...got
pregnant!"
"How the hell did you get pregnant! We're
still virgins for God's sake! Unless-" Davis stopped abruptly,
pushing Ken out of his arms. He pointed a finger at Ken as he glared
daggers at him.
"Unless you've been seeing someone else!"
shouted Davis accusingly. Ken shook his head, trembling. "That
person you've been taklking to on the phone every day!"
"No
Davis! I didn't! That was Joe I was talking to!" ken shut up.
That's didn't help matters get any better.
Davis seemed not to
have heard him, for he was now pacing the room back and forth as Ken
watched him.
"wait..." Davis turned to ken, looking him
up and down. "You're a guy. How the hell'd you get pregnant,
you're not some knocked up girl!"
Ken shook his head. "Davis,
if you would only let me explain-"
"Explain what? The
fact that you've cheated on me?"
Ken put his head in his
hands, getting very frustrated.
"Davis. I told you, I didn't
cheat on you. Re-Remember the other day, when I was kidnapped in the
digital world?" ken paused to see if Davis would reply, but he
didn't. "Well, those creatures, they forced something down my
throat while they had me.They then began to explain that the next
person I see would be the father of my baby. TK walked in first, but
my eyes were closed and I didn't see him, and when I did open them,
you were there, and the first person I saw."
"What is
this nonsense Ken?" demanded Davis.
"Davis! It's not
nonsense! How else do you explain me getting pregnant?"
"Well,
that I don't know" admitted davis regretfully, his face still
smug as he crossed his arms.
"Davis please" begged Ken,
putting a hand on his stomach. "What's the big deal? We were
always going to be together anyway, right?"
"That's
right..." whispered Davis to Ken's happiness. Davis' voice
seemed a lot quieter, less violent. "But that was before this
happened..."
Ken's eyes filled with tears. "D-Davis!
You're not telling me that you're-" Ken gulped, almost afraid to
say the words in case that wasn't what Davis was thinking.
"You
can't leave me now Davis! What about -?"
"The baby?"
spat Davis. "Good God! Get an abortion! I refuse to be a father
at THIS age!"
Ken was in tears now, near hysterics.
"A-Abortion! Abortion? Davis! Do you even know what abortion
is?"
"Yeah I know! It's when you kill the baby before
it can grow and be born! I'm not as stupid as you think Ken!"
"I
never said you were stupid..." mumbled Ken. "Why can't we
just have it together?" Ken bravely steps into Davis' crossed
arms, holding onto them as he looked up, Davis a good foot taller
than him.
"Come on...it'll be nice...We can name
it...Davis Jr." ken tried to giggle.
"Sure...I'll be
sure to put it on your gravestone when I'm done pummeling you into
oblivion!" Davis raised a fist as Ken backed away, his arms up
to try and protect him.
"Davis!"
"You ruined my
life you little pissant!" roared Davis. "Now thanks to you,
I have to tell my parents and everyone else I know that I'm having a
kid at the age of 18! How do you think that'll look for me Ken? Huh?
Not well! That's what!"
"Well it's not gonna help my
reputation much either Davis! At least you have parents to tell! I
can't even tell mine!"
"That's only cause your father
saw how disgraceful you were when he discovered you were gay!"
Ken
growled under his breath. "Alright. Let's get one thing straight
here Davis." Ken was now pointing the finger and glaring
daggers.
"YOU were the one who started this whole mess! YOU
were the one who came onto me! Six years ago you came up to me and
KISSED me! YOU were the one who couldn't stand the thought of me
being with Yolei, or anyone else for that matter! Had it not been for
you Davis, we wouldn't be here now! I wouldn't be mysteriously
knocked up with YOUR child and we would BOTH be happy!"
"I
thought I was doing the right thing! Back then you were sweet and
charming and adorable! Now, you're this pathetic ass who's supposedly
pregnant!"
"I am! Don't you care?"
"No!
Get away from me!" Davis started randomly gathering Ken's
belongings and shoving them into his face.
"I don't wanna
see your sorry ass ever again!" DavIs roared, throwing more
stuff at Ken, who could only stand there and try to catch his stuff.
Then Davis started grabbing Ken's picture frames and throwing
them, only not to Ken, but out the door, where they shattered into
millions of peices.
The last one Davis grabbed was Ken's only
picture of Osamu, since he moved out of his parents' home. Ken
watched as the frame left Davis' hand in slow motion. "DAVIS!
NOO!" Ken cried. But it was too quick and sudden. Ken was
unable to get to the frame in time.
It crashed to the floor, the
picture getting cut up by the peices of glass as it hit the floor
just outside Davis' door. Tears ran freely down Ken's cheeks as he
ran over to it, still getting clothes and things thrown at him, and
knelt down, hoping desperately to fix it.
Ken lifted the actual
picture up to his chest, closing his eyes and treasuring the now
ripped photograph, and then looked over to Davis sadly.
His eyes
went wide as Ken saw what Davis was throwing next.
His book
collection!
Thick heavy books came pummeling towards Ken, who
hand't enough to get away from the first one, and got hit hard in the
shoulder by his favorite book.
Tons of books started getting
thrown at him, and Ken soon moved out of the way, using the wall for
protection.
"Come back in here you coward!" screamed
Davis from inside the room.
Ken took in a deep breath and looked
inside the doorway, only to get hit in the face by his pillow.
"Listen here buddy! What you don't take with you know, I'm
pitchin'! So you better decide what you want, cause it's
gone!"
"W-What? That's not fair Davis!" sobbed
Ken.
"And you bringing this bomb shell of news saying you're
pregnant IS fair?" Davis retorted.
Ken whimpered. "You
promised me you'd NEVER leave me!"
"Again, that was
BEFORE you told me all this" hissed Davis in return.
Crying,
Ken had no choice but to start gathering up the things he would need
most. Shirts, pants, underwear, socks, shoes. He snuck his way to the
bathroom and collected his tooth paste and tooth brush, along with
his deoderant. He stuffed everything he could into his soccer duffle
bag Davis had thrown at him. When most of the important things were
packed away, and after Davis had thrown all his cothes out the door,
Davis began to throw his pillows and bed sheets. Ken quickly gathered
them as well, and stuffed them into his bag.
"Hey!"
cried davis suddenly. Ken looked up, afraid of what was coming next.
"What?" he asked.
"Where is that worthless
partner of yours?" Davis demanded. He then stormed out of his
room, past Ken and into the living room, where Ken had last seen
Wormmon eating the last of his strawberries.
Demi-Veemon, who had
been hiding under the bed this whole time, made his way over to ken,
patting him on the arm, sympathetically. Ken smiled, but the stood
quickly, wanting to get Wormmon as soon as possible.
"KEN!"
came the terrified cry of Wormmon. Ken ran into the living room and
found Davis holding Wormmon by his antenae, the little worm
squirming, tears in his eyes.
"DAVIS! Let him go! He never
did anything!" cried Ken, duffle bag in his shoulder. He made
for Wormmon and grabbed the little critter from Davis' tight grasp,
craddling Wormmon in his arms protectively.
"Oh! So now you
care about your partner!" sneered davis, reffering to Ken's
emperor days. Ken ignored him, grabbing his D-3 and D-Terminal from
the table before Davis could take those too.
"I'm leaving"
whispered Ken, brushing past Davis.
"Good! I don't wanna see
your sorry ass ever again!" shouted Davis angrily. He walked
behind ken until he was out the door, then slammed the front door in
his face, leaving Ken out in the cold rain. Well, the balcony of the
building was keeping him dry, but it was still raining, and still
matched his mood. He cried all the way down the elevator and onto the
first floor. He walked out of the front door to the apartment
building crying and soon was getting poured on.
"Ken? What
happened? Are we moving?" asked Wormmon sadly, loking up into
Ken's face.
"Yeah Wormmon, we are..." whispered Ken
through his tears.
"Why?" asked Wormmon.
"I'm
pregnant" replied Ken bitterly. "And Davis is angry at me
for being so."
"But, I thought only human girls could
get that" spoke Wormmon wisely.
"You're right, but this
is an exception. I'll explain better later..." Wormmon nodded,
saying no more.
Ken
didn;t know how long he had been walking through the rain, but soon
he found a car pulling up next to him, and the window was pulled
down. Kari poked her head out of the car window.
"Ken! What
are you doing? You'll freeze to death! Get in!" cried Kari.
Ken didn't need to be told twice, he opened the back door to the
black car and hopped in. Wormmon shook himself as a dog would, making
Ken giggle a bit.
"So ken, wanna tell us what happened, or
are we waiting for a wet Davis to come along?" asked TK. Ken
shook his head sadly, willing to keep the tears back.
Kari saw
this in the rearview mirror and gasped silently. She turned around in
the car and looked at ken. ' "What happned? Why are you crying?"
ashed begged to know.
Ken shivered a bit before answering. "Davis
kicked me out..."
