Chapter 3:

Prognosis: A Baby?

Gripping the end of his bed with white knuckles; Kai tries to swallow a lump of nervousness that has made its way into his throat. He is sitting in the spare bedroom of the Granger's dojo, having to spend the night here. After returning from seeing Tenzen with Ray, Gramps insisted that he stay here for the night once again. He said because the hospital is closer, but Kai knows it's so they can keep a closer eye on him.

It's not every day your invincible and badass captain faints, is it?

Despite his current circumstances, it was nice seeing Tenzen again. He hasn't changed a bit, which is good. He still remembers the first day he met the aqua haired doctor. He didn't trust him at first, experience has taught him not to trust doctors and most adults, but he was persistent. And not to mention very patient. He tried every afternoon after his shift at the hospital to seek him out just to check up on his well being and to see if he was getting enough to eat. If he wasn't he would get him something. Something packaged, to silently prove to him that he wasn't trying to drug him or anything.

Tenzen was nice, patient and honest, characteristics at that time Kai has never seen in an adult. It was a nice change to say the least.

He'd grown to trust Tenzen, even seeking him out whenever he received an injury. Tenzen proved to be a very trustworthy person, even going as far as not recording any of his injuries to the medical database.

Kai clutches his stomach when he starts to feel a little queasy, this time fighting down the need to throw up whatever food he has in his stomach. His brow knots in a form of discomfort as he presses his hand flat against his stomach, biting the inside of his mouth as he silently counts to ten, trying his best to calm himself.

He doesn't know why he's feeling so ill; he probably has a stomach bug. Or maybe it's just food poisoning from Tyson's cooking attempts the other night.

Holding a hand to his forehead, Kai can't help but recall a time where Hiro got sick and he had to watch over him. It was just a fever, but it knocked him out for the majority of the night. He looked so cute when he was sick with a dark flush marring his cheeks, even though Kai felt bad about thinking like that. But it doesn't make it any less true.

Lying back down onto the bed, Kai stares up at the ceiling, feeling nostalgic as the memories of Hiro and their one special, but reckless night together haunt him like ghosts of the past. He misses that arrogant coach; more then he thought he would. He has always had a soft spot for him, and their night together was amazing, but Kai knew before hand that Hiro was going to leave.

He knows it was silly, but a part of him hoped that after their night together Hiro would stay. But that would have been wrong of him to do that. Hiro is a wanderer and loves his freedom more than anything else. Asking Hiro to stay would have been like ripping the wings of a butterfly. It just wouldn't be fair.

Even so, his heart won't seem to stop longing for him. Hopefully, his little field trip won't take that long.

Rolling over to his side, Kai buries his face into his pillow, squeezing his eyes shut to try and prevent more bittersweet memories from resurfacing; they're making him feel all chocked up. Maybe that's what's wrong with him. He's just love sick.

Pft, how cliché is that?

Nuzzling his cheek into his pillow, Kai releases a sigh as fatigue suddenly washes over him. It's still early, not even dark outside yet, so a couple of hours of sleep wouldn't hurt. "I'll get up in a minute," Kai murmurs to himself before promptly falling to sleep.

The shrill noise of his phone ringing in his ear jolts Kai from his slumber. With bleary eyes he glances around the room, searching for his phone. He swipes it off the table and glances at the clock. It's 10 am in the morning! He wasn't planning on sleeping that long!

"Hello?" Kai asks into the phone, his head starting to thump loudly from being awoken so suddenly and sleeping in so late.

"Kai, it's me."

"Tenzen," Kai mutters as he flops down onto the bed, an arm moving to lie over his eyes. "Have you finished all those tests?"

"Yes," Tenzen replies, sounding a little reluctant, causing Kai to sit up in bed. "I think you should come to the hospital."

Fear and nerves make their presence know in Kai's chest and he can feel his heart skip a beat. He doesn't like the tone of his voice. "What is it?" he asks as he licks his lips, trying his best to control his rapidly beating heart. For as long as he has known Tenzen, he has always been to the point kind of guy. So this reluctance from him is new…and unnerving.

"I really think it's best that I tell you in person," Tenzen stresses, trying his best to use his doctor authority voice, but failing as he has an emotional and personal attachment to Kai. "It's complicated."

Kai swallows thickly and nods, even though Tenzen can't see it. "I'll…be there as soon as I can."

After Kai shuts off his phone, he seems to fall into this automatic, robotic trance. The events of getting dressed, by passing his concerned teammates, turning down their offers to accompany him and boarding the bus feels like a dream. Like he's on automatic pilot. It isn't until he hears a familiar voice call out to him does Kai snap out of his trance like state and realize he's already at the hospital, the trip here a complete blur.

"Kai," a familiar aqua haired male appears in Kai's line of vision, a smile on his face, but Kai knows it's only fake, trying to put him at ease.

It doesn't work.

Wrapping his arms tighter around his slender frame, Kai gives the good doctor a pointed look. "So, what's so important that you couldn't tell me over the phone?"

"Come to my office and I'll explain everything," Tenzen says as he drops the smile and runs a hand through his hair. He suddenly narrows his eyes when he notices subtle bags under Kai's eyes. He emits a soft sigh and moves to wrap an arm around Kai's shoulders, leading him further into the hospital and towards his office.

Inside the room, it's unlike most doctors' surgeries. There are no posters on the wall, no diagrams of the human intestines, no charts listing an array of symptoms you might have but don't know about. It looks like a regular office; warm furniture, subtle paint on the walls, a few filing cabinets and a large oak desk with sofa like chairs in front of it.

Kai lets Tenzen lead him over to a chair before sitting down and rubbing his upper arms with his hands, a shiver racing through his body from the nervousness he is currently feeling. He just wishes Tenzen would blurt out what's wrong with him already. He can take it.

Ok, probably not. But it's better than dancing around the issue.

Walking over to his side of the desk, Tenzen picks up a folder and sits down. "First up, I want you to know that you have no life threatening diseases; you have no sign of cancer, your blood pressure is a little higher than I would like, but that's to be expected with all the stress you are under. You're underweight, but that can be –and will be- fixed. You have a clean bill of health."

A look of complexity with a tinge of annoyance appears on Kai's face. "That's it?" he asks. "Why couldn't you tell me that over the phone?"

"I'm not done," Tenzen says as he flips open the folder and pulls out a scan he took on Kai's abdomen. He takes to his feet and walks over to the window, holding the x-ray up towards the light so Kai can see the images. "Come here, I want you to see this to truly understand what's happening to you."

The cloud of confusion grows thicker as Kai does what he is told, taking to his feet slowly as not to cause any unnecessary dizzy spells. The room gives a small spin, but Kai is able to snap himself out of the light headedness fairly quickly. He walks over to the window and stands next to the just under six foot tall doctor.

"What am I looking at?" he asks, looking at the scan. His eyes suddenly narrow when he notices a large white smear on the scan. "What is this suppose to tell me about my symptoms?"

"When you have one of these," Tenzen says as he points to the very same white spot Kai is staring at in suspicion. "The symptoms are completely normal for the condition you're in."

"I don't understand," Kai mutters as he looks at the x-ray before turning to stare desperately into a pair of apple green eyes. He furrows his brow in confusion with mild irritation. "What is this?"

"I have to admit," Tenzen says as he takes a deep breath, readying himself as he points to the rather large anomaly on the x-ray again. "This is the first time I've seen a male carry one of these."

"Cut the crap," Kai finally snaps, intense annoyance making its way into his chest at how Tenzen seems to be skirting around telling him the truth. "Just tell me what the hell is happening to me. What the hell is that white thing?"

Tenzen gives Kai a hard stare. "It's a womb."

"A what?" Kai asks, unsure if he heard right.

"A womb," Tenzen repeats sympathy and understanding now underlying in his voice. "And it appears that you are, well…pregnant."

Eyes widening in disbelief and fright, Kai snaps his gaze to Tenzen and then back to the x-ray. He does this a couple of times, his mouth open in an expression of shock as he tries his best to get his head around this new pieces of information. Suddenly, Kai feels his knees go weak and his eyes roll to the back of his head and a second later, everything goes black.

"Kai?" a familiar voice drifts through the darkness. "Come on now, I need you to wake up."

Squeezing his eyes tightly shut, a groan of discomfort passes Kai's lips as he finds himself wading through the thick darkness, his world starting to become a little brighter. Straining his sight against the blinding lights that seem to engulf him, Kai opens his eyes to once again find someone leaning over him, a hand on his wrist checking for his pulse. But instead of a certain dark haired teammate, his vision greets him with the figure of a certain aqua haired doctor.

Suddenly, memories of their previous conversation inundate Kai's mind and he immediately shoots up into a sitting position, regretting it a second later as his vision and mind goes funny.

"Easy, Kai," Tenzen says with a light scowl in his voice as he forces Kai to lie back down on the bed. "We can't have you fainting again."

"You're not serious?" Kai mutters after a moment, staring up at the doctor with wide and fearful eyes as he grasps weakly onto his arm. "Please tell me you're not serious."

A look of agonized sympathy appears on Tenzen's face, looking as if he wants to reassure the young man, but knows that there is no way they can deny something like this. "I would like to conduct an ultrasound to prove my theory, but all signs point to you being pregnant. I'm really sorry, but there isn't anything else I can tell you at this point."

Turning his gaze to stare blankly up at the ceiling, Kai falls limp, feeling as if this whole thing is a dream he can wake up from. "How can this happen?" he asks in a voice barely above a whisper. Everyone knows that men can't have babies, unless…

"Oh, shit…" Kai suddenly mutters, his face paling even more then what would be considered healthy.

More memories of the past resurface fresh in Kai's mind. He doesn't recall much of the Abbey, as it was a traumatic experience for someone so young, but he does recall something called a "Breeding Program".

Both Boris and Voltaire were extremely sexist, not that it's much of a surprise to anyone. They believed that females were weak and aren't good for anything. Unfortunately, they are good for one thing –in their eyes- and that was breeding. But there was no way in hell they were going to let any female set foot inside the abbey. But they needed more kids to train into solders. So they came up with a plan –a sick, twisted and highly immoral plan- to make artificial wombs and transplant them into physically strong male bladers.

Could it be possible that Kai was one of those kids chosen for this act against God?

"Kai?" Tenzen's voice pulls him from his thoughts, concern evident clearly.

"What do I do now?" Kai asks, his voice soft and small.

Aw, poor Kai-Kai fainted –huggles him- He's got some explaining to do in the next chapter X3

And remember; Don't kill me! -hides-
