''Bring him back in three days from now,''Akinson said as he helped Reno with his fresh bruises.
''Why do I have ta come back?''Reno asked,slightly annoyed as he pulled on his shirt.
''Um...believe it or not,you need to come back for an ultrasound.''
The thought didn't seem to settle in his head too well and the redhead paled.
''You're shittin' me.''
Rude sighed. ''No,he's not.''
Akinson finished wrapping the redhead's wrists,and Reno looked at his partner.
''Go to the car,''Rude ordered as he opened the door for the neko.
Both Rude and Akinson waited,and when Reno was gone,the bald Turk glared at the doctor.
''How much longer do I have to put up with him being a bitch?''
''Well,like it or not,I can tell you right off the bat that he is pregnant. When he was getting ready to pounce at Hojo,his movements were showing that he was guarding his midsection. I highly doubt he was aware of it,though. As to how long you'll be putting up with this,he's three weeks along.''
''That I know,''Rude stated,crossing his arms.
Akinson nodded. ''Because of the feline genetics,he will endure the feline's duration of pregnancy,which is between nine and ten weeks. But,he will show human symptoms. That said,go home,and make sure you get him what he wants when he starts craving food.''
Rude groaned. He really didn't want to know what kind of things Reno was going to crave.
''He will most likely pass the feline genetics on to the child. ...I'm not the one that wants the ultrasound.''
''I don't want Hojo anywhere near him,''Rude snarled.
''Good luck. Hojo's already making plans for the child.'' The words slipped out before he could stop himself.
Rude was silent,still,and pissed. If Hojo got anywhere near his redhead again,he'd probably kill the scientist.
Reno sighed as the sound of Rude driving away filled his ears. He'd requested red fish for food,and Rude had decided to drop him off at the house.
He stood there in front of the door for a few minutes,wondering why he was craving such a thing. He normally hated fish.
Red ears perked suddenly at the sound of clumsy steps.
''Well,aren't you cute!''
Reno turned his head slowly. Street thug. Figures. He and Rude didn't exactly live in the nicest parts of the city. Reno sighed and slipped a key into the lock. He wasn't really in any sort of mood to fight with some drunken punk.
He became aware that the punk was unbearably close when a hand grabbed his tail.
''I didn't think this was real! Cool! I'll bet those ears are real,too.''
Reno grit his teeth when a hand pressed up against the door,and the over powering scent of whiskey violently intruded his senses. He reared his elbow back,striking his attacker in the stomach,which didn't do much.
''What's wrong? You don't wanna play? That's a real shame.'' He felt a sudden sharp pain in his neck,and for a moment he froze. Did this guy just bite him? When he finally came back to reality,he shot his elbow up to collide with his attacker's jaw.
When Rude came home,he hadn't really expected to see one of the local thugs unconscious in front of his house.
Worrying about Reno's condition,he went into the house,only to have the redhead jump him with a hug.
''Did you get the fish?''Reno begged.
''Yeah,here. It's salmon.'' He handed Reno the package,who looked about ready to eat it raw. ''Cook it before you eat it,though!''
The redhead happily ran to the kitchen.
''Are you gonna want any?''
''I'll pass. I hate fish.''
The redhead shrugged and went about preparing the salmon.
A few hours crawled by as the Turk sat by the window,but with each minute,Rude held his breath,waiting for the one question he just hoped Reno wouldn't ask.
He unconsciously jerked at every movement,hoping for anything but that one question.
''Hey Rude,''Reno called from the kitchen,''why does Akinson want an ultrasound?''
Shit. ...Might as well just get it over with. The Turk waited until the redhead was on his way out of the kitchen before he responded.
''The wrong injection Hojo gave you allows you to get pregnant.''
There was a silence that not even Sephiroth could break,and Rude turned his head to see Reno paling. Reno's lovely red tail had stopped moving completely.
He tried to comprehend the statement. He really tried. He tried to comprehend the statement and connect it with the past few days,and he started counting on his fingers as his brain tried to put the problem together.
Hojo's mistake + Cat genetics = Attractive Neko x Rude + Bed = Pregnancy ... ...?
''Makes sense to me. I'll be upstairs screaming.''
Before Rude could stop him,Reno had retreated upstairs,locked the bedroom door,and true to his word started screaming at the top of his lungs.
