Team CFVY stood in and around the bathroom next to their room, concerned for one of their teammates. Velvet was kneeling in front of the toilet, emptying her stomach for the third time that day. Yatsuhashi, being the good friend he was, was holding her hair out of the way and patting her back while Coco and Fox stood nearby.
"Geez, girl," Fox muttered. "Maybe you should see the nurse, this is the second day like this."
Velvet finally stopped, accepting a paper towel from Yatsuhashi to wipe her mouth. "But I feel fine now. I always feel fine afterwards."
"You know, that's just how my cousin was when she-" Coco cut off, thinking hard. If this is a situation like my cousin, that means… Oh shit. "I'll be back."
A few hours later, Coco returned to the dorm room and threw a shopping bag at Velvet, startling the girl away from her book. "What's this?"
"Pregnancy tests. I got a few different brands to make sure."
Velvet's eyes widened. "Pregnancy- Coco, I'm not pregnant!"
"You've slept with him haven't you?"
The poor girl's face turned bright red. "U-um…"
"That's a yes. Have you had your period?"
"Gross!" Fox interrupted. "Yatsuhashi and I don't want to hear about that!"
"Fox, shut up."
"I'm only a little late..."
"More proof. Just take these tests."
"We were very careful, there's no way."
"Humor me."
"Fine…" The Faunus girl picked up the bag and went to the bathroom. This is a waste of time.
Coco followed her friend and stopped right outside the door. "Make sure to use at least 2 different brands to be sure."
"I will, I will."
Coco waited patiently for about 10 minutes, which she knew was double the time most tests needed, but she didn't want to rush her friend too much. When that time was up, she knocked on the door. "Vel? What did they say?"
She pressed her ear to the door, and heard a quiet, "Oh my god…"
"Velvet, open this door or I will break it down!"
Ever so slowly, Velvet opened the door, a different pregnancy test in each hand. "Th-they're both positive…"
Coco was silent for a moment before turning to go back to their room. "C-coco?"
"I need to talk to him."
"Then why are you going to our-"
"I'm just gonna talk to him." She went to her bed.
"Coco, you're not-"
"I'm just gonna talk to him." She pulled out her handbag.
"Then why did you get your-"
"I'm just gonna shoot him."
"COCO! You can't shoot him!"
"He knocked you up! I'm shooting him as many times as I possibly can!"
Before Velvet could protest more, Yatsuhashi grabbed Coco by the wrists. "I'll hold her back. Go talk to him.
"Away from the school, if you want him to live," Fox added.
"Thank you!" With that, Velvet ran to the nearest elevator, texting Bartholomew as she waited for it to reach the ground floor. We need to talk, now. Can you meet me as soon as possible? Off campus would be best.
Thankfully, he responded quickly. I will be at the airships in 5 minutes.
Velvet got to the airship in seconds and started pacing as she waited for Oobleck to get there, her heart pounding. This can't be happening… I'm far too young to be a mother… And we were so careful… What am I going to do? What will Bartholomew say? I've known women whose boyfriends left them when they got pregnant… Bartholomew wouldn't do that, would he? No, of course he wouldn't. But what if he gets fired… How will we take care of this baby? And I have to drop out of school… What am I going to do…?
Within five minutes as promised, Oobleck was there to meet Velvet at the airships, and they both boarded, thankfully the only people on the airship. The second they were sure no one would see them, Oobleck hugged his girlfriend. "What was so urgent that we had to meet as quickly as possible?" he asked, concern in his voice.
She slowly looked up at him. "B-bartholomew… I'm… I'm p-pregnant…"
Oobleck felt his heart stop. The word seemed to echo in his mind. Pregnant. Velvet is pregnant. With my child. And I have no idea what to do. "Oh… Oh Velvet… Are you sure?"
"I took two different brands of pregnancy tests to be sure… I'm really pregnant…" Tears were filling her big brown eyes. "Bartholomew, what are we going to do…?"
"I… I don't know, my dear… I don't know…" He gently held the frightened rabbit Faunus close, rubbing her back. He didn't know what they could do, but he was at least going to try and calm her down.
Unfortunately, judging by the fact that she started sobbing, he was not succeeding. "I'm going to have to drop out of school…" she said quietly. "And if Ozpin fires you…"
He hugged her tighter. "We'll figure something out," he tried to reassure her. "I promise you, whatever it takes, I will take care of you and our child."
Thankfully, she stopped crying rather quickly, but he could tell she was still tense. He placed a finger under her chin and gently tilted her head up to look at him, giving a reassuring smile. "Why don't we go out and get something to eat? We will go speak to Ozpin tomorrow, but for today, let us celebrate. We are going to be parents. It may make things more complicated, but that does not make it any less wonderful."
Velvet managed a small smile. "Ok… That sounds nice…"
