A/n You know after re-reading my last chapter I realized something. I screwed up. LOL anyways I guess that since lately I have been working on my novel, that I didn't realize that I had to change from one style of writing to the other when I switched stories. You see in the story I write from one person's point of view, in my book I write from third person point of view. I guess I just got confused. Anyways I just wanted to say sorry to anyone I confused in the last chapter and that I went back and fixed it if you want to re-read it. However, it's the same story so there really is no need to. Well on with the story I suppose and I hope I don't mess it up again
Chapter 13 Rikku's POVI paced back and forth. I decided that maybe I would not tell him. Well I knew I had to eventually I mean I know he would get suspicious when I needed new cloths because I no longer fit in my other ones, but I wanted to hold off on it as long as I could. I looked in the mirror and I knew I had not been pregnant that long a month or two tops. Yunie was only three and she was barely showing. If you didn't know any better you would just assume she put on a few pounds. So I hoped I could hide if for a few more months. However, I wasn't scared really to tell Gippal, I was more scared to tell my family, mostly afraid to tell my father. I was his baby girl. He still wasn't too happy that I was dating, let alone living with Gippal. Hence, if I told him that I was pregnant, then the shit would hit the fan. I got dizzy again and I had to sit down so I took a seat on the edge of my bed and closed my eyes. It was just that moment that I heard the front door open and I knew that Gippal was home. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom, I had to hide the test.
"Rikku?" I heard him call from downstairs.
"I'm up here!"
I found the pregnancy test on the kitchen counter and just as he entered the bathroom, I hid it behind my back. I looked up at him as he gave me a questioning glance. I smiled at him as he walked closer to me.
"What's behind your back?" He asked with a frown.
I shoved the test into my back pocket and brought my hands back out to my front.
"Nothing…" I said.
"Rikku." He said my name like my mother used to.
"What?" I asked getting mad.
"Tell me what's going on please." He said.
"There's nothing going on."
"Okay fine, I can' force you to tell me. But I can tell you that I want you to see a doctor,"
"NO!" I exclaimed.
He took a step back.
"Why what are you hiding?" I asked.
"Nothing, nothing."
I watched as he shut the bathroom door behind him and I knew he was going to keep me in here, either one until I told him, or two until we both got so fed up that we would have a major fight.
"Rikku, tell me what you're hiding." He said to me anger in his voice.
"No." I said looking at my feet.
I knew he was getting more pissed by the moment and I knew he had a right to know, but I didn't want him to know, not yet. I needed a few days to get my shit together. I walked towards me and I backed up until I hit the wall.
"Tell me now." He said looking at me.
I didn't think I really ever got him this mad at me. I didn't know why he was so mad, but he was. I knew he was worried too maybe that was why.
"I'm fine Gippal." I said.
"Then what are you hiding?" He said his voice calmer. Then he reached into my back pocket and pulled out the pregnancy test.
"No! Give me that!" I screamed as he played keep away with it.
I jumped for it and missed which caused me to fall onto the floor. I just lay there and cried. I couldn't do anything. I felt sick, and now my body hurt all over from the impact my body took when I fell. I didn't even look up but when I heard him muttering in al-bhed, I knew he had read the test. He stepped over me and got on his knees. He laid down so he had his eyes level with mine and watched me cry.
"You should have just told me Ri." He said.
"I didn't want to just yet." I said and hid my face in my arms.
He pulled me up with him as he stood and lead me to the bed.
"Lie down, I'll get you something cold to drink." He said.
I nodded and watched him leave the room. I continued to cry and I couldn't stop. I wasn't scared. No, I was nervous and mad. Nervous because now that he knew I only had my family left to tell, and mad because he forced me to tell him plus he made me fall on the floor which couldn't of been to good for the baby. He came back and handed me a glass of what looked like apple juice. I took it and drank it without saying a word. He sat next to me and tried to put his arms around me. I pushed him away.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
I looked at him. My tears were gone, and now all that was left was anger.
"You didn't trust me enough to let me find my own way to tell you." I said.
He frowned.
"I thought that there was something really wrong with you Ri." He said to me.
"If I told you I was fine you should of just taken my word for it Gippal." I replied standing and crossing to the window on the other side of the room.
"I know and I'm sorry." He apologized.
I shook my head.
"It's okay I guess." I turned and smiled at him.
My anger just vanished. It was really weird. I heard that when you're pregnant that you get really nasty mood swings, but I would think I was too early along for that. However, everyone is different. He stood up and crossed the room cautiously.
"I don't bite." I said with a laugh.
He smiled.
"I know, anyways who else knows?" He asked.
"No one and I want to keep it that way." I replied.
He got a look of puzzlement on his face and raised one of his eyebrows.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well because I want to tell my pops next and you know how he'll handle it."
"Yeah, he'll flip." Gippal said.
I nodded.
"So I want him to know next. That's why I want to hold out on telling everyone." I said.
"Sure, whatever you think is best." He answered.
I turned and looked at him. He smiled and I knew now we would always be in each other's lives. Even if we didn't stay together, he was going to be the father of my child and now we would always have a connection. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
Gippal's POV
As she stood in front of me, I thought I would be more scared. I was freaked out when Kadena told me I was going to be a dad, but when it was Rikku who was going to have my baby instead of her it felt different I was almost excited.
"Have you seen a doctor?" I asked.
"No." She replied. "But that might be a good idea."
"Yeah, I'll go set you up an appointment." I said and went to the phone.
I dialed the doctor's office and a woman picked up the phone on the second ring.
"Dr. Johnson's office." She said.
"Hi I need to set up an appointment."
"Umm sure can I take your name?" She asked.
"Well it's for my fiancée, her name is Rikku."
"Okay, how is Tuesday at noon?" She asked.
"Hold on." I looked at Rikku. "Tuesday at noon okay with you Ri?" I asked her she nodded. I went back to the phone. "That's fine."
"Okay, then we'll see you then, oh and can I ask what you need to see the doctor for?"
"We think she may be pregnant." I said.
"Oh that's wonderful." She exclaimed then added. "See you on Tuesday."
I heard the phone buzz and I knew she had hung up.
"What is today?" I asked Rikku.
"Monday." She replied.
I nodded, "The you have three days until the appointment." I said to her.
"Yeah?" She questioned.
"What do you say we go look at things?" I asked.
She smiled. "Things?" She asked.
"Baby stuff." I replied.
Rikku smiled at me and laughed. I didn't know what was so funny but I was happy that she was laughing.
"We don't even know if it's going to be a boy or a girl Gippal." She said still laughing.
"So we'll buy things that will be good for either of them. Things that boys and girls can both use." I said.
I felt stupid for saying that and I felt weird for acting like this. I always thought I would never want to have a kid, but now…now I'm not so sure. I think I may be looking forward to this. Rikku agreed to go and look at baby things but she wasn't sure we would by anything. I knew she would find a few things she liked. We were just about to walk out the door when the doorbell rang.
"Who could that be?" Rikku asked.
I shook my head, and went to the door. When I pulled it open Brother was there. He didn't say anything rude, and that was my first clue that something was wrong. Rikku went to him and looked at him. I could tell she knew something was wrong as well.
"Brother what is it?" Rikku asked worried.
(Okay I don't know all al-bhed so just to say Brother is talking in it! That's why he is speaking so well…)
"It's father." He said.
I watched Rikku's face fall and I knew we wouldn't be going shopping tonight.
"What's wrong with him?" Rikku asked tears spilling from her eyes.
"He had a heart attack." Brother replied.
I watched as Rikku fell to her knees and started to cry. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't really old enough to remember when my dad died so I couldn't say I knew what she was going through. So thinking it may be the only thing I could do, I helped her out to the Celsius so she could go see her father, maybe for the last time.
A/n okay there you all go chapter 13 I hope it was okay, and again sorry about messing up the last chapter. Anyways please read and review! I love you all.
