Chapter Two: The Surprise
The Head Nurse was sure about what exactly was wrong with Allen Walker, and her sickness spells in the morning. The thing was, how would she break it to the girl?
It was a little after five in the afternoon and the Head Nurse knew that Allen would soon be coming in to see the results of the various tests that had been performed earlier in the day. So, she waited patiently while performing her normal duties around the Medical Wing.
At around five twenty, Allen walked into the Medical Wing and went up to the Head Nurse.
"Do you know what is wrong with me?" Allen asked immediately, looking somewhat anxious.
"Yes, I do. Please go into that room, and I will be along with you in a few minutes. I must make a call first." the Head Nurse said, pointing to the room that she wanted Allen to wait in. Allen obliged silently, heading into the room, feeling a lot more anxious now that the answer hadn't come immediately. She sat on the bed, staring at the flood. What if it was something bad? What if she was going to die?!
Allen shook her head and squashed that panicked thought. There was no chance that she would die or something as minor as throwing up in the morning. But, then, what was the need for Allen waiting in the room?
Her thoughts raced, jumping from conclusion to conclusion, until she was so wound up with apprehension that, when the Head Nurse finally came into the room, Allen burst out, "What's wrong with me?? Tell me, please! Even if it is something horrible!!"
The Head Nurse looked at her in surprise for a moment, then chuckled a little.
"It is nothing bad. Just wait a few minutes, and I will tell you. I have someone else who has to hear this, okay?" the Head Nurse said, smiling as she patted Allen's soft, white hair in consolation. Allen blushed a little and nodded.
They only had to wait for five minutes before the door opened to reveal Kanda.
"Why did you call me?" he asked impatiently.
"Just sit down with Allen, please, and I will tell you both." the Head Nurse invited, gesturing towards Allen and the bed. Kanda sniffed but sat down, his arm brushing against Allen's shoulder.
"Now, the reason I asked you here Kanda is that you have something to do with Allen Walker's condition-"
"Condition?" Kanda asked sharply, looking quickly between the Head Nurse and Allen.
"Yes, condition. Just listen, Kanda. I know that both of you are very young, so I do not know just how much you know of this kind of situation, but I guess that since you are both of the natural adult age, meaning you have both been through puberty, your bodies-"
"-Just say it already!" Kanda snapped, his knuckled going white. It seemed to the Head Nurse that the Japanese man already knew what she was going to say, but he was ever the impatient one...
"Allen is pregnant. And if I am not mistaken, you are the father, Kanda."
Both of them froze, staring at her emotionlessly. Kanda broke out of the stupor first and stood up quickly, taking a few steps away, his back towards them. Allen slowly came out of her shock and her hands immediately wrapped around her small stomach, as if expecting it to suddenly bulge with proof.
"I....am pregnant?" she asked softly. The Head Nurse nodded, prepared for the worst reactions from either of them.
"But...I'm not even sixteen..." Out of the corner of her eye, the Head Nurse saw Kanda flinch at those words. He turned around suddenly and took two swift steps to Allen's side, where he placed his hands on either side of her face and kissed her tenderly, lovingly. It spoke very clearly to Allen, even if Kanda said nothing.
I will be here for you, with you, every step of the way.
He released her just long enough to pull her up from her sitting position on the bed and wrap her in his arms.
"Moyashi..." he said softly, burying his face in her hair. The Head Nurse turned away to allow them their moment of privacy before telling them everything they needed to know about the upcoming months. When the two of them were done, Kanda had Allen in his arms, looking as though if anyone tried to take his Moyashi away from him, they would lose their ability to breathe.
"First thing I must ask, as awkward as it may seem, when was the first time you two had sex?" the Head Nurse asked. Allen blushed profusely, while Kanda only had a sprinkling of color over his cheeks.
"Almost a month ago. Maybe three and a half weeks." Kanda answered dutifully.
"And the last time you two-?"
"-Last night." he answered immediately, his eye twitching in annoyance.
"Now, are you going to ask how many times in between?" Kanda asked irritably, "Because I can tell you how many." Allen's blush grew stronger in color and she shifted uncomfortably.
"Kanda!" she admonished.
"Che."
"Well, if you want to know how far along she is, then, yes, I would like to know how many times. Unless you would prefer to just assume that the first time was successful." the Head Nurse responded, matching Kanda's hard look with one of her own. Kanda sniffed.
"We can just assume that you are about a month along, Allen. Now, you will not show for some time, maybe another month or so. As you have already discovered, there are some immediate effects of the pregnancy. All in all, you will have cravings for more food than usual and you will continue to get morning sickness for a while, but it should fade with time."
"Also, to maintain your health, Allen, I would like to have you take vitamins at least once a day. I will ask that Jerry make sure to keep your meals, while still large in portions, very healthy and with the right amounts of each food group. It is important that you stay healthy for the health of the fetus."
"The fetus?" Allen asked, somewhat confused. She clearly wasn't that well educated in anything regarding the female body beyond what she had experienced so far.
"Your unborn baby." the Head Nurse answered, "It is called the fetus until it leaves your womb."
"Ohh. Okay." Allen responded, nodding a little in understanding.
"Well, so that I might be the first to do so, I congratulate you two." the Head Nurse said, patting both of their hands kindly.
"Why are you congratulating them?" a curious voice asked from the doorway. It was Lavi, of course.
"Has Yuu-chan finally decided to pop the question, so that he isn't immorally having sex with a minor while neither are married, let alone to each other?" the red-head asked, grinning darkly.
"Lavi....Mind your own fucking business." Kanda hissed dangerously. The Japanese man pulled Allen up with him as he stood and then directed Allen from the room, giving Lavi the iciest glare he had in his repertoire of glares. Lavi looked surprised at the intensity of the glare and the possessiveness in Kanda's hold on Allen.
"Allen, come by any time you feel you need to. No matter the reason." the Head Nurse insisted, pointing her finger towards Allen, who nodded, smiling.
"Really...Why were you congratulating them?" Lavi asked, truly curious now. The Head Nurse shook her head at him, sighing.
"Let me see those bandages of yours." she said, grabbing his hand before he could pull away.
Kanda closed the door to his room as Allen sat down on the bed. As much as he hated to admit it, the baka usagi had brought up a good point. Allen was a little over two years younger than him, and they weren't married. While the age difference was not that big of a deal, there had been vastly more immoral couples in the past, it was the fact that they weren't married, and now Allen was carrying his child. His child....
Kanda watched Allen in silence from the doorway, hand still resting on the door handle.
His child...
Kanda was utterly speechless. Never before had he imagined that he...would be a father, let alone at such a young age.
"Kanda...?" Allen questioned, noticing the Japanese man's intense stare. Kanda sighed and walked over to the chair near the bed. The younger girl watched him, her eyes huge and somewhat scared.
"Kanda?" she asked more insistently, still very much anxious. Her lover looked up at her, his eyes blank. When he saw the look in her eyes, something inside him broke loose.
"Jesus, Moyashi!" he said harshly. Allen flinched.
"You aren't even sixteen!! I'm only eighteen! How the hell did this happen??"
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Are you that stupid?! You have a kid in you! Our kid! This is ridiculous!"
Allen's eyes widened. Did he...Did he mean to leave her? Was he that...affronted by this? She felt her heart ache briefly before she began to feel insulted. She stood up angrily.
"This is partially your fault too!! Hell, it's mostly your fault! You are supposed to be older than me! You are supposed to be more responsible!"
"And you are supposed to be more careful with your body! You are the one that's going to have to bear this kid!!"
"Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do with my body!! You can't go one mission without getting hurt! You are going to get yourself killed!"
"Che. I can't die."
"Yeah, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean! Kanda, you are just as human as I am! You aren't immortal! You sure as hell aren't invincible!! Get real, Kanda!!"
"You barely qualify for being human, Moyashi!! Cursed and suspected of being a Noah; I hardly think you apply!!"
Allen froze, a sharp pain going through her heart. She turned away, unable to look at Kanda.
"Fine," she said simply before leaving the room in silence. Kanda watched her, hardly believing the words that had come out of his mouth.
"Goddamn it to hell, I did it again!" he snarled furiously, throwing a punch at the wall next to him.
Woot! That's the end of chapter two. Ooohhh...Drama already, eh?
BaKanda...*shakes head*
