Ken
moved back into Davis' room the next day. Mrs. Motomiya was thrilled,
however, she didn't know exactly why Ken left, or even that he left
at all. Davis had told her that he and Ken were re-doing their room,
and that was why all his stuff had been moved. But when Ken looked at
Davis severly later that night at dinner, Davis gulped, knowing that
it was a time of truth.
"Mom? Dad? Jun?" spoke Davis
clearly. They were eating steak. The three of them looked up, as Ken
looked further down into his plate, trying not to attract attention.
"Yes dear?" spoke his mother.
"Remember all
those years ago...The Digimon?" asked Davis.
"Oh, you
mean those worthless creatures that came and ransacked the town?
Yeah" replied Jun rudely.
"Well, I was one of those
kid's responcible, and I have my own..." mumbled Davis to their
surprise.
Demi-Veemon then chose that moment to hop out onto the
table. Ken froze where he sat next to Davis, knowing that Wormmon was
ready to do the same thing when given the chance.
"What?"
asked Anita, not fully understandingy what was trying to be said.
"What is that?" shrieked Jun when she saw Wormmon in
Ken's lap. Wormmon flinched.
"Um..." mumbled Ken into
his lap. "This is Wormmon..."
Davis tried to grab their
attention again, but then Jun's phone rang and she left to answer it.
"Hello?" they could hear her say.
"Mom,
Dad..." he began. Ken trembled in his seat. "You
see...couple days ago, Ken and us went to the digital world. Well,
Ken was captured by strange digimon and...they made him pregnant
with the next person he saw...which was me.."
No one said
anything. "So...Ken's pregnant?" asked Anita. Ken nodded.
"Yes."
"Honey! That's great!" cried Anita,
getting up to hug Ken and Davis. His dad smiled as well.
"We
just discovered a while ago that Jun was...you know...a lesbian as
well, so...this way we get to have grandchildren!" he said. Ken
and Davis was delighted at their happiness, thinking themselves
stupid for worrying before.
Month
1
Food. That was what was always on Ken's mind. Food. He craved
everything he heard about or saw. As the weeks passed, his appetite
grew larger and larger. Along with his stomach. He'd now gained a
total of six pounds in the last month. He was always tired...always
lethargic. His mood swings were terrible. One second he'd be crying,
the next, laughing his head off, then furious.
Joe called every
other day to see how Ken was doing...and it wasn't until the second
month did Ken start to panic about being pregnant.
Month
2
Davis, Joe, and Ken were all in the hospital room, having just
checked Ken over. Ken sat on the bed covered in plastic paper and
groaned, clutching his growing stomach.
"Joe? I have a
question for you" he began.
Joe turned to Ken. "Yes?"
"Since
I'm not a woman...I don't have the same organs and stuff they
do...so...how exactly am I going to have this baby?" he asked.
"That's simple" replied Joe calmly. "C Section"
Davis gave him a confused expression as Ken gave him a look of
horror. "What's that?" asked Davis.
Joe smiled. "C
Section is when the doctors cut open your stomach and reach in for
the baby, then sew you back up" he answered matter-of-factly.
Ken, who looked to be in silent denial, shook his head.
"No.
I'm not doing that" he whispered, rubbing his stomach. He was
wearing a simple shirt and pants, along with Davis, only he wore a
hoodie over his shirt.
Ken burst into tears, something that
happened a lot more often since he got these nasty mood swings. Davis
was immediatly at his side, rubbing his back gently, trying to sooth
him.
"Relax Ken. We're here. I'm here. Joe will help you,
right Joe?" Davis turned to Joe to make sure. Joe nodded. Ken
didn't seem at all convinced.
"I don't care! I'm scared that
I won't make it! That the baby won't make it!" he cried.
Davis
turned to Joe who nodded, then helped the crying Ken off the plastic
bed and out the door, where Davis then led Ken to the car and drove
home.
Ken
was currently sitting in the Motomiya living room reading a magazine
when Davis walked in through the door. Ken looked up and smiled, yet
turned back down to his reading.
"Say Ken, you know that
neat resturaunt down on Belmont Street?" asked Davis
conversationally.
Ken looked up from his magazine and nodded, yet
gave him a look of impatience. Davis sighed.
"Well, I know
this guy, by the name of Alan. Well, he and his wife own this
resturaunt downtown, well, he does anyway, and he needs someone to
work as a fulltime waiter..." He looked at Ken expectantly. "Do
you think...?"
Ken eyed him with a glare. "Just what
are you planning Davis?" he asked, anger evident in his voice.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe you could work there...?
For a time?" offered Davis, ready to start running if Ken didn't
like the idea. Ken shook his head.
"No Davis. I don't want
to. What's the point? I'll just have to quit anyway once the baby
comes" reasoned Ken, not understanding the reason for working.
"Besides, why don't you work there? Why do I have to?"
Davis cleared his throat nervously, knowing that Ken had a good
point. "Well, I don't want to work there."
Ken scoffed.
"And you think I do?"
Davis sighed. "Please Ken.
It'll help. I mean, we are going to need money once the baby is
born."
Ken sighed. This time it was Davis who was right.
"Fine. When do you want to go and have me fill out an
application?"
Davis grinned. "Right
now."
Ken
signed his name on the paper for the third time as he filled out the
application. He looked over to his left to glare at Davis, who was
sitting there giving him an innocent look.
"Davis" Ken
sighed, setting the pen he had been using down on the counter. "This
had better be worth it. I refuse to work for someone who will treat
me as though I'm a-"
"Slave?" offered Davis
pointedly. Ken went silent, looking back down at the paper. "I
thought so..." Snickered Davis.
Ken was silent for the rest
of the time he spent filling out the application. He then snapped his
hand in front of Davis' and handed it to him, turning around and
leaving the room.
"I just hope I don't get this job"
muttered Ken as he left.
Month 3
Ken
had changed very little in the last month, only his mood swings were
not as bad. Now he was just always depressed. The job that Ken now
had was going slowly but surely. Ken now worked their full time, and
was currently working there now.
"Ken! I need you there at
table five!" cried Ken's boss.
The restaraunt was outside,
or at least, part of it was, and since it was mid-summer, most people
wanted to eat outside.
Ken wore a white shirt, black silk pants
and an apron. In his hand, above his head, stood a well-balanced tray
which had eight empty cups on it. Ken turned around to see that the
place was very busy, and as a waiter, Ken needed to start on his
tables that he was assigned to.
"Barb!" cried Ken over
his shoulder as he looked at the table. "That's not my table!"
"Well I don't care! Clean it!" cried his boss. Ken
shrugged, getting rid of the cups he already had and started cleaning
the table.
"I suppose this is what I get for listening to
Davis" whispered Ken to himself as he cleaned up the table.
He'd been working at this resteraunt known as "Chiffon's"
for the last three weeks. he had to admot that he did get good pay,
but Ken hated the way he was treated. He was treated as though he
didn't know the difference between a clean table and a dirty one. His
boss, Mrs. Chiffon, had a tendancy to treat him badly. He was always
having to do her dirty work.
Ken cleaned up the table, by picking
up the dishes and wiping off the table itself with water and soap. He
then dried it off with a seperate towel.
"Ken!" cried a
voice. Ken looked up to see Yolei and Cody walking up to him. They
both smiled broadly at him.
"Ken, we didn't know you worked
here" spoke Cody as he sat at the table Ken was cleaning. Yolei
sat in the chair beside him. Ken nodded, taking a glance up at Mrs.
Chiffon to see if she was watching him.
"Yes, I work here.
Davis wanted me to get a job. Although, the unfair part about it all,
is that Davis still does not have one. He claims that every job in
town is taken" scoffed Ken angrily.
"Ah well. That's
Davis for you" replied Yolei offhandedly. Ken nodded. "Where
have you been lately?"
Ken froze, looking up at her. "What
do you mean?"
"You've been awfully quiet lately. We
hardly see you anymore. Davis has been telling us your sick. But you
don't look sick at all. You've gained a few pounds if anything."
Cody answered for her. Ken blushed a bit at the last sentence, yet
frowned all the same.
Well, I've just been...busy..." he
muttered in reply. The two of them watched as Ken placed a hand on
his stomach.
Cody nodded silenty. " I see. And it appears
that you've been spending a lot of time with TK too."
Ken
looked at Cody, gazing at him hard. "What's that supposed to
mean?"
"Well, haven't you stolen enough of our time?"
sneered Cody. Ken frowned.
"Oh I'm sorry Cody. Am I stealing
your friends' time of being with you?" hissed Ken. Yolei stood
up at this, taking Cody along with her.
"Come on Cody!
Enough of that! Ken has to get back to work!" she cried
desperately as she pulled Cody along. The two boys only continued to
glare at each other until Yolei was able to pull Cody around a
corner, which then Ken started cleaning the table again.
Five
and a half Months Later
Month Eight
Ken sighed as he
watched Davis help him get his lunch. When he had discovered that he
was pregnant, he had never have guessed things would have been this
bad. Over the last few months, Ken has gained about thirty pounds, He
was always eating, and after a month of working at Chiffon's he found
out that it was just too hard for him to work someplace with so much
food.
Ken sighed once more as he looked over to see what Davis
was doing now.
"Here Ken. Have some soup" he said,
handing Ken, who was lying on the couch, some soup. To say Ken looked
like a boy anymore would have to be incorrect. He no longer looked
like a boy. He looked like a woman about to have a baby. His hair had
grown several inches in the last months, along with his stomach. It
was no quite large in size. Ken was thrilled to know that he only had
six more weeks until the due date, and then he would no longer have
to worry about being pregnant. Ken closed his eyes has he sipped at
the soup, listening to the news all the while. Davis sat next to him,
bopred beyond reason. Ken opened his eyes to glance at him, wanting
to know why is boyfriend was so depressed.
"What's wrong
Davis?" asked Ken. Davis looked at him, then looked away, making
Ken all the more worried. "What is it?"
"It's
nothing Ken" davis answered too quickly. Ken was not satisfied
with that answer and Davis knew it. "Please, could we just drop
it?"
Ken shook his head, setting the hardly touched soup
down on the table next to him. His large stomach kept him from moving
quickly. "Davis, I am about to have our kids when I'm not even
meant to, and you sit here refusing to tell what is on your
mind."
Davis galared at Ken, yet stopped the moment he saw
Ken, knowing it was useless to stay mad at him.
"Fine"
relented Davis at last. Ken smiled in triumph. "I've just been
thinking. How are you even going to have this baby? I mean, girls are
the only ones who are supposed to. So, you don't even have the right
body parts for this. So how are you going to have it?"
Ken
tensed up. "Davis, you are so stupid!" Davis looked at Ken
with wide eyes. He had not been expecting that. "Of course. You
are speaking the complete obvious! I already know this! Joe even
spoke about this while you were in his office on several occasions.
They will have to do C-Section on me! Rip open my stomach, take the
baby out, then sew my back up with stitches."
Davis nodded,
staring at the televison instead of Ken's gaze. "I know...I'm
sorry."
"It's alright Davis. I forgive you" replied
Ken. "I always forgive you Davis, just as you always forgive
me..."
Davis looked at Ken at the last sentence. "What's
that supposed to mean?"
Ken leaned back into the couch,
closing his eyes. "You know what I meant."
"You're
talking about when you first told me you were pregnant aren't you?"
asked Davis. Ken only shrugged.
"Maybe I am" mumbled
Ken.
Davis frowned. "I said I was sorry about that!"
"I
know you did Davis" sighed Ken.
No one said another word on
the matter.
