Half a Heart – Destiny's Story

Destiny's Point Of View

Part Twelve – Surprises

Author's notes: I was orignally going to be cruel to my poor characters and give them triplets...but I decided against it because that would be hard on Des' and Sachiel and me. So now they're going to have one baby. I'm really excited to actually get to write opposed to re-writing as I've done for the last eon. These notes are really long, I know ... but, this chapter ended up kind of short... like, the shortest chapter in Half a Heart. I'm sorry! Please read and review.

"Yeah...Sachiel...we're...uh...we're going to be parents..." I whimpered, rubbing hard at my eyes. Sachiel just stared at me for a while before he finally let out a shaky breath.

"A-are...you s-s-sure?" He asked softly, frowning.

"Pretty...I'm pretty sure...but I'm not positive."

"But... I thought girls couldn't get pregnant...you know, on their first time..."

I sighed softly. It hadn't been my first time, but I wasn't about to tell him that. It would really upset him.

"No, that's not true, Sachiel..." I shook my head slowly. "Girls can get pregnant no matter how many times they do it. And we would have had protection, but you just .. uh, kinda ambushed me."

"...so you're blaming this on me?"

"Sachiel, I don't want to fight." I chewed my lower lip slightly. "I mean... having a kid might be nice, right? A little baby...don't you like little babies?"

After a minute of silence, Sachiel gave a shrug. "I've never been around them."

"Well...I like babies." I ran a hand through Sachiel's hair, even though I did have to stand on my tip-toes. "And I'm sure you'll make a great father."

Sachiel smiled softly. "You think so?"

I nodded. "You're protective and I know you'll do everything to make our child happy."

"So... how do we know if you're really pregnant...? Since... you're not entirely sure..."

"Uhh..." I frowned slightly, thinking for a minute. I had never really talked about this with my mother. I really didn't know. "Well, I know there are these home pregnancy tests... but I don't know what you do with them..."

"...Well then we should figure it out. Because I'd like to know if I'm going to be a father or not." He murmured, rubbing the back of his head. I could tell he wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of having a baby.

"Well...okay... then I guess lets go shopping?" I chewed my lip softly. He was making me feel like it was my fault. "Let me get dressed ... and don't watch. That's how we got into this in the first place..."

I made my way over to the dresser, pulling it open and pulling out a pair of black sweatpants. If I was going to get a pregnancy test, I wanted to look somewhat covered up. Next, I pulled out a soft pink t-shirt. I stripped down and got dressed, turning my back to Sachiel, who already had his back turned as well.

Sachiel tapped his foot. "Are you done yet?"

I sighed softly, pulling my hair from the back of my shirt. I gave a slight nod. "Mmhm..." I bit my lip and slowly crossed the room back to him. He seemed so ... distant compared to earlier. I hoped he wouldn't run off if I really was pregnant. I'd heard of boys doing that all the time to girls and it scared me. I mean, it was really possible, right? He was heartless...

"I'm ready..."

"Yeah, me too, Des'...let's get going, huh?"

It was a long, quiet walk to the City. For the first couple of minutes, he had his arm around me...then he held my hand, but by the time we got into the town, he was quiet and he had his arms folded over his chest.

I chewed my lip and I prayed he wouldn't leave me. I couldn't raise a child all by myself. And if I wasn't aloud to live in the castle, where would I be? I bit my lip hard and looked around.

"So...do we need a special store or something?" Sachiel murmured, speaking for the first time since we left for the castle.

I shook my head. "Nuh uh... like a grocery store, I think."

Sachiel was silent again as we walked to the nearest grocery store, but he held my hand. His grip was tighter than usual. I figured he was scared. I mean... I was too. I was sixteen years old and pregnant.

The door swung open automatically as we walked into the store. I peered around timidly.

"Des'...you go get it, I'll uh...meet you back up here."

I blinked. "What? You're not even going to come with me?" I frowned. "Are you serious?"

"...fine." Sachiel sighed, rubbing his temples and looking down to me. "I'll come..."

I smiled weakly. "Don't make me go through this alone, Sachiel..."

"What?" He frowned, looking at me. "Are you serious? Of course not... I wouldn't ever make you go through something like this alone."

I bit my lip, studying his face to make sure he wasn't lying to me before I smiled. "You mean it?"

"Of course." He bent and kissed me softly. "I'm not cruel, you know."

I smiled, closing my eyes for a brief moment. I nodded again. "I know..."

"Then lets go." He patted me on the butt softly and I blushed deeply, shaking my head and starting towards the aisle.

By the time we finally got back to the castle, I was almost in tears from worry and anticipation. What if I was? What if I wasn't?

I sat on my bed, crossing my legs and taking a deep breath as I read the instructions to myself.

"I have to what?" I frowned, looking up to Sachiel. I wrinkled my nose. "Icky..."

Sachiel blinked and opened his mouth to ask. I held up a finger.

"You...don't want to know. I'll..." I blushed deeply, pulling myself to my feet and walking over to the bathroom. "Be back in a few minutes..."

Sachiel and I stared at the pregnancy test, waiting for an answer.

"How do we know?"

"They'll be a blue plus sign if we're pregnant... and a red minus sign if we're not..."

"Wait, 'we're'?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah..." I chewed my lip softly. "We're in this together, right? So we're pregnant."

Sachiel sighed softly and shook his head. "That doesn't make any sense..."

I pouted and looked back to the pregnancy test, waiting for an answer from it. I looked to Sachiel again and sighed softly.

"You promise you'll stay with me?" I asked softly. I was still terrified. What if he lied and left? I'd have to raise the baby all by myself...

"Of course... I'm not going to leave you." He ran a hand through my hair and kissed me softly and I smiled.

"Do...we look now?" I murmured, keeping my eyes locked onto Sachiel's face. I was afraid to look. I was afraid to be pregnant but I would be disappointed if I wasn't.

I slowly reached over and picked it up, keeping my eyes still on the blonde Heartless. I took a deep breath and slowly moved my eyes over to see what the verdict was. Pregnant or not?

I fell silent, staring at it, blinking hard and making sure it was a blue plus sign. I looked back to him.

"We're...pregnant. For sure."

Sachiel sighed, running both hands through his hair slowly. His golden eyes twitched over me and he said nothing. "O-oh..."

"Is...is that a good 'oh' or a bad 'oh'?" I asked, chewing my lip which was already starting to become a bit sore.

"It's...just an 'oh'...I mean, I... don't know. What am I supposed to feel? Happy? Or sad? Or what?"

I blinked slowly. "Well, that's... a very good question... I don't know, I kind of feel a little sick to my stomach..." I buried my face into Sachiel's chest. "It's... a good thing, right? That...we're going to have a baby..." I pressed my face harder into him as tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"Yeah...I guess..." He smiled softly, pulling me away to look me over. He gently wiped away my tears. "But it's okay, whatever happens, we'll get through it, okay?"

"Together?" I looked up to him, biting my lip lightly.

Sachiel nodded. "Together."
