Chapter 5:

Quite a Bit of Information

Flopping down onto his new bed, in his new room, at his new place of residency, Kai sighs softly to himself as he nuzzles his cheek into his pillow. The stress of the last few hours finally catching up with him and after reassuring his teammates and the Granger's, Kai decides to spend a few hours to himself in his room. He has a lot to think about, probably a little too much. But, thankfully, a heavy burden of how his 'family' will react to his situation is now gone from his shoulders.

It went way better than he had expected. He expected a lot of yelling, cursing and maybe even a threat or two, but nothing like that happened at all. Tyson seemed a little annoyed with him at the beginning, but that's understandable after learning that his Beyblade captain slept with his older brother. It's enough to get under anyone's skin.

But thankfully, he mellowed out when he realized that he's going to be an uncle. At 16 years old.

And Kai is going to be a parent at 17 years of age, and Hiro is…

At the mention of Hiro's name, Kai feels his heart slowly begin to sink. Hiro is the father of his child, but he has no idea where he is and he can't seem to be reached. Kenny and Gramps are trying to work out where the wayward coach could be and send a message out to him to come home as soon as he can. Kai was reluctant at first, as he doesn't want to disrupt Hiro's adventure, but at the same time, wants him to come home just so he can accuse him for knocking him up like this.

Stupid Hiro, why does he have to be so bloody handsome and charming that Kai just can't say no to him?

A sigh passes Kai's lips. No, he can't pin the blame on him, it's as much as his fault as it is Hiro's. It's a two way street. It takes two to tango, so to speak.

A soft knock at his bedroom door pulls Kai from his musings. "Who is it?" he asks as he rolls over in bed.

The door opens, revealing a certain brown hair male. "How are you feeling?" Bruce asks as he steps into the room.

Kai pauses for a moment, silently trying to assess his current state. "I'm ok," he says after a moment, answering truthfully. "I think."

A smile graces Bruce's lips as he takes a seat on a chair near the bed. "It must've been a shock when you found out."

Kai is unable to stop a warily smile from appearing on his lips. "I fainted."

"I can't say I'm surprised," Bruce says as he chuckles before turning serious. "This doctor you went to, is he…?"

"He's completely trustworthy," Kai replies quickly and firmly, hoping to put the older man's fears at ease. "I've known him for years."

"That's good to know," Bruce says, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

A feeling of warmth fills Kai's being when he realizes just how much everyone seems to be worrying about him. He knows that he being pregnant is a shock, but they generally seemed to be concerned for his well being.

He can't help but wonder…will he make an ok parent to this little life growing inside him?

"…Bruce?"

"Hmm?"

Tenderly, Kai places a hand on his stomach, uncertainly shimmering in his eyes. "Do you think I'll be a good father?"

Bruce's gaze immediately softens when he realizes how unsure and scared Kai is at the moment. "I think you'll make a great father."

"I'm…a little scared, you know?" Kai whispers softly, turning his gaze elsewhere.

"That's completely understandable," Bruce is quick to reassure, his own fatherly instincts kicking in at the sound of the fear in Kai's voice. "This is a life changing thing; no one can ever be fully prepared for it. But if anyone can make it through this, it's you."

A small blush makes its way onto Kai's cheeks and he gives him a bashful look. "You're just saying that."

Bruce simply smiles at him. "No, I mean that."

"Are you ok with this?" Kai suddenly asks, giving him a dole eye gaze. "Answer me honestly."

"Honestly?" Bruce repeats as he takes a deep breath. "It's a surprised to say the least, but it can't be helped. This is just a part of nature, there's no point in denying the truth." He smiles when he sees an expression of genuine gratitude appear on the enigma's face and he suddenly gives him a stern look. "But I must say, I'm a little disappointed that you thought we would abandon you just like that."

"Sorry," Kai murmurs, suddenly feeling very sleepy. "But I've been abandoned a few times before. It's a fear I have."

"Don't worry about it," Bruce is quite to respond. "As I said, it's understandable that you are feeling scared at the moment."

Kai sleepily nuzzles his cheek into his pillow. "Do you think I'll really be ok?"

"You're a part of this family as much as Hiro is," Bruce says as he climbs to his feet, intending on leaving the room to allow the enigma to get some much needed sleep. "And I'm not saying that just because you're pregnant with my future grandchild."

"I bet you didn't think you'd be a grandparent so soon," Kai suddenly comments, earning him a laugh from the older man.

"Not really," Bruce chuckles. "But truthfully I can't wait. I'm sure my father can't wait to be a great grandparent."

"You know?" Kai murmurs softly. "This kid is going to be very lucky, having grandparents like you."

"He's very lucky to have a parent like you looking after him," Bruce quickly points out.

Kai smiles softly and appears ready to fall asleep. He feels a little lighter now, like everything will turn out for the best. He has great friends, a family he can call his own. There is just one little thing hampering this moment of joy, the father of his child isn't here…

"Have you managed to get a hold of Hiro yet?" Kai suddenly asks, causing Bruce to pauses at his bedroom door.

Bruce gives him a hesitant look, but sighs in defeat, knowing that there is no point in skirting around the issue. "No, we have idea where he is. He could be anywhere in that god forsaken desert."

Kai gives another sigh of disappointment. "I have an appointment tomorrow," he suddenly murmurs. "Do you think you could give me a lift?"

"Of course I can," Bruce says as he steps out into the hallway. "Get some rest. Goodnight."

"Night," Kai murmurs before he quickly falls asleep.

-------------------

Wrinkling his nose at the overly pungent smell of disinfectant, Kai approaches the front desk to inform the nurse there that he is here to see Tenzen, Bruce not far behind him. He's interested in meeting this Tenzen, the man who managed to gain Kai's confidence.

"Kai!" a familiar voice calls out, causing Kai to turn away from the desk and glance up the main hallway, watching as his aqua haired doctor make his way over to him, a couple of folders in his hands. "Glad you could make it," he says, with a hint of relief in his voice. He suddenly looks to the side of Kai and his gaze immediately collides with that of Bruce's. "Oh, and who…?"

"Bruce Granger," Bruce greets as he thrusts out his hand to shake and Tenzen gladly takes up the offer. "He's going to be staying with us for a while. I just gave him a lift here, as I didn't want him to catch the bus by himself."

"That's good to hear," Tenzen says cheerfully, smiling at the slightly older man. "So you're aware of what's going on?"

"Yes, Kai explained it as best he could last night," Bruce replies, casting a quick glance in the enigma's direction, the corner of his mouth twitching into a small smile when he sees the blatant embarrassment on Kai's face. "I'll wait out in the waiting room until you're done, ok Kai?" he asks as he faces the teen.

"Thank you."

"There won't be any tests today," Tenzen explains to both Kai and Bruce. "Just an information session."

"Good," Kai inwardly breathes a sigh of relief as he allows Tenzen to lead him to his office.

"Ok," Tenzen says after he securely closes the door and walks over to his desk, waiting until Kai takes a seat. "I need to ask a few questions and I want honest answers. Don't be embarrassed or shy, remember this is me you're talking, ok?"

"Sure," Kai murmurs again as he perches on the edge of his seat, wrapping his arms around himself as a sense of nervousness sets in.

"When was the last time you had sex?" Tenzen asks, deciding that the blunt approach is best at this point in time.

"A few weeks ago," Kai replies, a heating sensation making its presence known on his cheeks.

Tenzen nods and writes it down in a folder sitting in front of him. "First time?"

"Yes."

Again, more scribbling. "How many times do you orgasm?"

"Doctor!" Kai splutters loudly with indignity, the blush on his cheeks growing even more prudent on his pale cheeks.

"I need to know," Tenzen says calmly, but Kai gets the distinct feeling that he is inwardly laughing at his reaction. "We're both grownups here."

Kai glares at his personal doctor, an expression of utter embarrassment on his face. "…Once…twice…Ok, four times, you happy now?!" he cries as he practically bashes his head against the desk in front of him.

"There's no need to be embarrassed," Tenzen says, a hint of amusement in his voice, although he is trying hard to cover it with a firm doctor's voice. "Now, let's talk about how you managed to become pregnant."

Kai rolls his head to the side and glares at him again as Tenzen climbs to his feet and pulls out an x-ray. "Why?"

Tenzen shrugs as he holds the scan against the window, illuminating it. "In case you want a sibling for your future kid," he says before turning to the x-ray and pointing at it. "Anyway, I've studied the scans and tests I conducted the other day and found that a small valve opens when you become overly stimulated, i.e., having several orgasms in a row or a very short period of time."

Kai wraps his arms around his head, wanting nothing more than to crawl into a hold and die. "I cannot believe I'm having this conversation with you…"

"You are able to generate your own eggs within the womb," Tenzen carries, choosing to ignore the uncomfortable teen. "But will only produce one at a time. You don't have periods like your female counterparts, which is rather fortunate for you."

"Good God…" Kai whines into his hands.

"After this pregnancy, another egg will form days later where it will wait in the womb to be fertilized," Tenzen then removes the x-ray and places it into a folder once again. "Of course, I can't be sure of this. This is all theory at the moment. Do you have any questions?"

The first question that immediately springs to mind is whether he can leave now. This is highly embarrassing and doesn't wish for it to be carried out longer than necessary. Suddenly, an imagine to that one reckless night two weeks ago pops into his mind's eye and remembers that during the night, after an reaching the pinnacle of pleasure, he started to softly cry tears. They weren't from pain, or even remote discomfort. In fact, the only thing he felt that entire night was pleasure.

So, he doesn't the sudden tears. He's going to have to ask. Gwad, could this be any more embarrassing? He's just lucky Bruce decided to wait outside. He'd just die from humiliation if he was sitting in on this.

"Just one really embarrassing question," Kai murmurs as he slowly lifts his head up off the desk. "Um, after each…orgasm, I started crying. Why is that?"

"Oh, that's normal," Tenzen quickly replies, waving a dismissive hand at him. "You're just releasing pent up emotions. It happens to most people who experience an intense orgasm and you should be pleased that you can experience such emotions."

"Ok…Can I go now?" Kai asks, looking a little too pale once again. "I think I've had more than enough information to dwell over. I don't think I'll get any sleep tonight…"

Tenzen offers him a small smile as he climbs to his feet. "I'll walk you out," he offers, taking Kai by the arm and helping him out of his seat and back towards the living room.

Bruce notices them straight away and quickly climbs out of the waiting room chair and meets them half way. "All finished?" he asks, then frowns when he notices that Kai is looking a little sickly and uncomfortable. "Is there something wrong?"

"He's fine," Tenzen replies with a smile, slapping Kai on the back as the teen gives a squeak of discomfort. "I just had to re-explain the birds and the bees to him."

"I see." Both men laugh while Kai continues to look sick.

This pregnancy is going to be hell!

X3 Poor Kai. Things just keep better and better for him, doesn't it?
