Title: I love you Because

By: PurplePrincess

Ben sat on his bed exhausted as he pulled off his socks.

All day his parents had been bothering him about school, apparently his grades had dropped from A's to A minuses. While it was true he really didn't have the energy to deal with his parents nagging him about things that he couldn't control.

For the past few weeks he had felt like utter crap, unless he was with Kevin. Not to mention he had gotten progressively heavier.

As a matter of fact when he weighed himself this morning he had gained 10 pounds in the last two months!

He had done everything from push-ups to treadmills, and still nothing!

Why did this have to happen to him right after Kevin and him started going out?

Thankfully his boyfriend hadn't been around recently due to the job he had just gotten. Kevin started working as an apprentice mechanic with the Bobbit Garage down the street from his school.

Ben had even taken to staying at a study group after school to wait until Kevin was done.

That was exactly why Ben was exhausted now he spent all his free time trying to improve his grades if not with Kevin. Concentrating in school was a whole lot harder now a days. His parents blamed it on Kevin, saying something about daydreaming and bad influences.

He never really paid any attention to them.

It's true after Ben and Kevin's little shebang bang in his bedroom his parents knew.

Apparently they weren't practiced enough in subtlety when it came to sex. Ben giggled to himself about this.

When he was a kid he never expected to be worried about how loud Kevin and him were in bed. Not that he was thinking about that stuff when he was a kid or anything, especially not with him and Kevin.

Ben turned his face that was now red, oh great he was embarrassing himself now.

Ben pushed himself off his bed to go and get his cell phone, talking to Kevin might make his tummy ache go away.

Talking to Kevin always made him feel better.

He dialed the number.

"Hello?" answered his Kevin who sounded just as tired as himself.

"Hi Kev, it's Ben!"

"hey" Ben was worried Kevin really did sound exhausted. "Did you have a hard day at work or something? You sound tired." He heared the other man sigh.

"ya I did. I worked over time to save up for that surprise I was telling you about." Ben smiled he hated surprises, but it was still sweet for him to do that for him.

"I wish you wouldn't work so hard just for me."

"I would do anything for you," Ben started to tear up, damn his overactive emotions! "I love you."

"When are you coming over?" The brunette asked grabbing a tissue.

"Uh not today, I promised my boss Jim that I'd work till 10" Ben sniffed seeing Kevin would make him feel so much better.
"You feeling any better?" Kevin asked with a wrench squeaking in the background.

"I feel like craaaaaaap." Ben whined to his boyfriend whom remained silent.

"You've felt like this for two months now right?" Ben nodded even though Kevin couldn't see.

"Maybe you should go to the hospital." Ben tapped on his pillow maybe he should.

"Will you come with me?" He pleaded.

"I think I might have to."

--

"Ben?" Kevin asked his lover as they drove to the hospital. "Yes?"

"Did you tell your parents you were going with me?" Ben shook his head. "I don't think they like you." Kevin frowned nervously.

"Why did you ask?"

"Because I think that you being sick might be my fault." Bens pupils shrink in surprise, he looked out the window shifting.

Kevin sped up the car, and then reached over to caress Ben's hair. "It's okay I promise I don't have an STD or anything." Ben turned his gaze back at Kevin, his eyes now curious.

"What else could it be?" Kevin smiled although his brows lied to Ben.

"Well to make it simple we aren't going to just any part of the hospital, we're goin' to the plumbers ER."

Ben Went to say something but Kevin stopped him with his hand. "You'll see soon."

Ben nodded, and Kevin let go of him.

"Should I be worried?" Ben asked placing his hand on the gut he was getting.

Kevin smiled and shook his head "That depends."

--

Kevin placed his face into his palm, could he have screwed up anymore in his life?

The plumber doctor just left him to wallow in self-pity, or more pity for Ben.

True it was his fault of course.

What would he do?

Ben parents already hated him, and what about everyone else?

Ben was still sixteen!

Well he had to tell Ben anyway, it was his decision what he wanted to do. So he walked into the room his lover was resting in.

As he approached he could see Ben's eyes were closed. Kevin sat down next to him, and started to stroke Ben's cheek. Ben opened his sleepy eyes, and smiled at Kevin.

"Sleepy?" Kevin asked his love. Ben nodded as he yawned.

"Maybe I should tell you what the plumber said tomorrow then." He inquired picking his nails sarcastically.

Ben sat up a little shaking his head. "No! What's wrong with me?"

Kevin breathed in, and placed his hand on Ben's belly moving it in circles.

Ben looked at Kevin nervously, but what he saw in the others face wasn't sadness it was something else.

A face Ben had never seen before.

Then what happened next Ben never expected.

Kevin's face tensed, and he started to cry.

Hard.

Ben gasped in pure shock.

He didn't know what to do! Kevin was sitting there rubbing his stomach, and bawling his eyes off!

"I'm so sorry Ben!" was all he managed to get out through his loud sobs.

"What's the matter?" He shouted loudly, grabbing onto Kevin's head and hugging it tightly.

"You..,"

"I what?"

Kevin closed his eyes, and inhaled.

"You're Pregnant

--

Ben woke up in his hospital bed smiling.

He looked out the window.

It was winter, and the snow covered the ground shining because the sun was bright.

The room he was in was white as well, mainly because it was a hospital.

Everything seemed bright until he looked down at his lover whom always wore black shirts, and dark jeans.

And although he was the only dark thing in the room, he seemed the brightest of them all.

Kevin and him were going to have a baby, which made everything seem brighter.

Even though Kevin was upset last night Ben was able to calm him down. Ben knew he wanted to have the baby, because of the face he made before he started to cry.

He wanted to have the baby too.

The only thing to worry about was his parents, they'd have a problem.

Not to mention questions.

Thank goodness they already knew about the sex thing or that would have been awkward. The whole 'Hey mom and dad I'm knocked up!' issue was his problem.

Kevin must have thought about it a lot for all his problems to come crashing down on him like that.

Poor Kevin, he wished he could make him feel better.

The both of them are so young and about to be parents.

Kevin, who stirred, pulled Ben out of his thoughts.

He slept next to him that knight even though the nurses told him not to.

"Ben?" The dark haired man asked as he was blinking to wake up.

"Hi sleepy!" Ben greeted excitedly.

"You're in a good mood." Ben beamed with giddiness. "Can we leave soon I want to go out!"

Kevin scratched his head, and shrugged.

"Wish you were this happy in the morning all the time." He mumbled getting up. He walked over to the table stand across the room, and picked up his car keys.

"Shall we?" Ben smiled jumping out of bed (with some trouble).

Kevin checked them out of their room, then walking out into the car.

"So where do you want to go?" Kevin asked pulling out of the parking lot.

"Home."

Kevin closed his eyes in frustration for a second then looked at Ben.

"You can't be serious…already?"

Ben frowned "Don't you want to tell them?"

"NO!" Kevin yelled honking his horn angrily as some asshole merged in front of him.

"Why!" Ben complained angrily.

Kevin ground his teeth together.

"Because."
"Because why?" Ben pushed.

"I don't want to loose you!" He yelled gripping his steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.

Ben's face immediately went from angry to concerned. "I'm sorry." He apologized feeling ashamed of himself.

"Let's go to Gwen's then."

Kevin nodded his face visibly relaxing.

Ben snickered cutely. "Does that mean you loooooove me?"

"You know I do." Kevin said looking a little more relaxed as Ben acted like a teenaged girl.

"No I mean you Looove me,

K-i-s-s-i-n-g

First comes Love

Then comes Marriage,"

"Then comes baby in a baby carriage!" Kevin interrupted happily.

They both laughed happily, enjoying the time they had to really be happy about Ben being pregnant.

Or at least that's what Kevin thought.

He was so sure that Ben's parents would hate him forever for what he did.

It was just a feeling in his gut, but by the way Ben never argued when Kevin said that his parents didn't like him he knew.

Maybe he could get them to like him if he tried really hard to impress them.

Perhaps he could show them how much he loved Ben.

Ya that would work!

"Kevin?" Ben asked, who had been talking the entire time Kevin was lost in his thoughts.

The older man blinked as he was pulled from his thoughts.

"Wa?" Ben rolled his eyes.

"I was asking, if you had to go to work today?"

Kevin nodded; he did have to go to work. He tried to squeeze in extra hours for money, driven by the present he wanted to give Ben. "I don't have to if you want me to stay with you."

"No, no it's fine, just promise you'll come over tomorrow so we can hang out."

"Of course I will, and I think we can tell your parents then." Ben's eyebrows shot up.

"Ya well at least then I'd have the time to explain what happened."

"Uh we had sex?" His lover inquired childishly.

"Well duh, what I meant was how you were able to get pregnant." He corrected inwardly laughing at his lover.

"I can tell them that, that is if dad doesn't kill you by then."

"Very funny, here we are!"

The car pulled into Gwen's driveway.

Ben couldn't wait to tell her.

--

"WHAT!!????"

Gwen shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ben and Kevin stood in shock, because it her body and her voice didn't sow anger at all!

She seemed happy as hell.

Then hell broke loose.

"Ommygod we have to get so many things!

Planning is half the fun you know!

Where are you gonna live?

Boy or girl?

Kevin or Ben when it comes to how it looks?

What kind of colors? Pink, Blue, Oh yeah Kevin does the rock thing!

Black then!!!

Have you told your parents?

Do you think it'll have the same powers as Kevin?

Or mutation whatever…

Or will it be like grandma and me with the powers?

Eiiiiiii!!"

They both stood flabbergasted unsure of what to say.

Then she stopped to really think about it.

"Ben's a boy…"

Ben ran up to Gwen and gave her a hug.

"Apparently alien guys can have babies, kind of like Big Chill."

Gwen thought about it for a moment trying to figure out exactly how the male anatomy works.

But that's not the point now is it?

She shrugged her shoulders letting her smile return.

"It's good news needless to say, I got a B in biology anyway."

She looked at Kevin releasing her cousin from her grip.

"It was you then," Kevin answered with a yup. "Bens parents are going to kill you, you know?"

"Sadly yes."

"We were hoping that you could help us out tomorrow when we tell them?"

Ben requested with a nervous smile.

"Hmm, well I guess you need the help….okay!"

She hugged the both of them.

Kevin felt happy and for some reason a little more relaxed.

They were all happy, and that was all that mattered.

Continue?

Sorry this took so long to do, I got a serious writers bloke.

Hope even you non-mpregs like it!
