It took maybe 30 minutes to get Gwen off and an extra 10 to tie her up so she won't do it again.
"Ok, now that that's done, Ben." Julie said after tightening the knot a bit, "Please explain just a little more."
I nodded and we both sat back down, "Well, for starters... Me and Kev are 'together' I guess..." I blushed a bit when both girls were silent for a minute. I also jumped when they started squealing.
"I knew it! Who started it?" Julie asked.
I just looked over at Kevin, who was still a little disorientated from the squeals. "Uh, Ben did." he said cautiously.
Both of their mouths fell open, then came another bout of squeals. "I always thought Kevin would be the first to confess!"
Me and Kevin didn't have fun explaining how that went. Because once the story got to the part where I was acting like a whiny whore, we avoided that part and the whole 'sex' thing. Funny thing though, they wanted FULL and absolute details.
All of us sat in Kevin's car now. The first thing we have to do is tell Grandpa Max, so he can at least hook us up with a doctor or something. Because the whole 'male pregnancy' thing is pretty weird, mainly to me though. Kevin was just surprised that it could happen, other then that, he just fell into the role of my protector. Gwen and Julie were more or less BEGGING to be the godmother or something. I, personally didn't wanna hear it, so I tried to sit up front with Kevin. Too bad they dragged me into the back with them. Kevin just chuckled under his breath and drove, to my dismay.
"Oh please, Ben? I want to be a part of the family!" Julie asked as she held my right hand in both of her own.
"Yeah and since I'm your cousin I get baby privileges too right?" Gwen asked. She held my other hand in her own grip.
Both girls were too close for comfort, "Uh..."
"We're here." Kevin looked back at me with a smirk. "Geez, even when you're gay, you're a womanizer."
I glared at him, "yes, because I SO enjoy my cousin and Best friend strangling my hands." Both girls immediately let go at my complaint and looked away.
"You can thank me later Benji. Right now we need to find Max." He got out of the car. Gwen and Julie followed and I came out just growling and mumbling.
In front of me stood Max's hardware store, along with Pierce, Helen, Manny, Grandpa Max, and... Albedo? Max smiled at me and waved with the hand that led up to a chain on Albedo's neck. Said alien looked away and pouted.
I couldn't help but smirk, "How's the chili fry craving going?"
He glared at me, "Very well, actually, Benjamin. I see you're still very much regrettably alive." he retorted.
"Well you know if you hadn't had this great idea of trying to copy me, you would still be on 'this god forsaken planet' as you so kindly yelled at me the last time I saw you."
Albedo mumbled something that Max heard, only to press a button on the chain that sent a shock of electricity through it and into Albedo.
"You said you needed something Ben?" Max asked calmly while Albedo was still facing aftershocks.
I blushed hid behind Kevin and Gwen, "You guys tell him."
Max raised a brow and Pierce sighed. "Ben we need to know what's wrong with you before any of us can do anything." Helen added.
Kevin glanced back at me and said, "Max have you ever heard of the Knoxram serum?"
Max's eyes grew wide in recognition and Albedo burst into laughter. The three plumber's kids were more confused then ever.
Max pressed the button again, "You better come with me then, it's good that your grandmother came for a visit then." He walked into the hardware store and lead us to the lab (AN: I don't know how, imagine something up). There we found Grandma Verdona juggling three small balls of energy with one hand. She took one look at me and smiled.
"Hello Ben."
"Verdona, could you do a scan on Ben? It seems that he somehow got a hold of the Knoxram serum." Max said while leading all of the kids into a separate room.
"I did actually." Kevin said, "Ben got caught in the crossfire."
Verdona giggled a bit, "Well, I knew something like this would happen, if not now, by accident, then later on purpose." she rolled up her sleeves and placed a single hand on my stomach. Her eyes glowed the familiar pinkish-purple then stopped. "Yep, there's a future kid in there. I can't quite tell how many or gender. But there's one in there." she smirked as she pulled her hand back, "And I assume Kevin here is the father?" when we both nodded she patted our shoulders. "I knew it would happen between you two eventually." she gave us both a hug.
"So, uh, how is this going to work?" Kevin asked.
She seemed to think for a moment, "I don't really know. But I'm sure that somewhere in the multiverse there is someone who does, and if there is, Max can find them." She patted my head then left the room to find Grandpa and the others.
"Ouch..."
"I swear if I have to have a-a C-section, or whatever it's called, I'll kill you. Boyfriend or not." I said to Kevin.
His eyes grew wide, "Wait, you do know that it's possible to abort it right? That's an option too! You can't possibly be thinking about keeping it, are you?"
I began to pout, "Of course, we may never get this chance again if the idea comes up again. Besides, I guess I can put up with my parents caring for it for a while, I'm sure they wouldn't mind babysitting a few times."
He sighed, "I don't know if..." he trailed off into a mumble.
I raised a brow, "What was that?" I asked.
"I don't know if I'll be..."
"Still can't hear you!"
"I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE A GOOD ENOUGH DAD!" he blushed, turned away and huffed, "I never had one to look up to, so how will I know what to do?"
"Kevin, you do realize that, unlike me, you have a choice." I swallowed hard, I didn't want to mention this for fear he'd take me up on my offer but it had to be said. "You could walk away now, and just forget about me, or you could stay, and help." he looked back at me in shock and I grabbed his shirt before he could say anything, "Kevin, if you go, you'll keep running from the fear you'd 'end up like your father'. If you stay, we'll do it together."
"Ben..." he looked away for a minute. I thought I would know his answer at that point, he'd want to leave. I bit my lip and turned to walk away.
"It's alright, do as you will." Once I started walking away he grabbed my arm.
I turned to face him, he looked angry and sad. "How the hell could you even suggest that! If I do that, I'll be treating you like some one-night whore! I'm not gonna do that, it's my fault this even happened, if I just didn't-"
"Didn't what? Fuck me? That was my fault, I was the one complaining about being horny!" I shouted at him.
"That was an effect of the serum! I was the one who even suggested getting the damn stuff!" he retorted.
"I'm the one who opened the goddamn case!"
"Because I told you to!"
"..." I crossed my arms and glared at him, "Well I'm the one who did as you said! I could've just denied it." he growled in his throat lowly.
Luckily, I got the last say, because Max, Verdona, and Albedo walked in.
