Enemies to Lovers
Gwen saw him every night for almost a month before the signs appeared.
Those symptoms.
You know.
Nausea in the mornings, weakness, tiredness, missing her period, a craving for pineapple smoothies.
She could hardly believe it. She had sat, crying, in a school toilet cubicle for nearly an hour, worrying how he would react to the news, before she got the courage to bunk off school to see him.
She had only been to his apartment twice; usually he came to her house to see her. The first time she had visited him, she wondered why he had an apartment, and not a house – he could definitely afford one, with the flat-screen, 60 inch wall-mounted TV, the expensive kitchen units, the latest technology and pricey designer wallpaper and carpets. There were three unused rooms, the main bathroom (he used his en suite), the empty bedroom and the spare room. She had found crates of illegal alien tech in the spare room, but she hadn't really been angry, or even upset.
The discovery just reminded her that he was a bad guy again, she was still a Plumber, and that their relationship could never be mentioned to anybody until he stopped being a bad guy, lest they both be thrown into the hellhole, the Null Void – no one else knew he was back, and she would be called a traitor, accused of betraying the plumbers and her friends and family by joining him, and be disowned completely.
Gwen shivered at the thought, and wondered how she would explain being pregnant to her parents.
Would they want her to get an abortion? Or worse, make her give it away? This was her life, but no doubt they would interfere, saying that she was too young, giving her lectures about safe sex and STDs... and they and the others would ask who the father was.
She couldn't exactly say to them, "Oh, just the guy who keeps escaping from the Null Void and trying to kill us all and steal the Ultimatrix. You know, the one you've all been trying to track down for the past six months? Yeah, I see him regularly."
She arrived at the front door of apartment 165 and knocked on the door. KThe raven-haired teenager answered it immediately.
"Hi, Kevin." She had trouble keeping her voice even.
"Hey, babe. Thought you had school?" The loving look in his eyes was common, but it still made Gwen's heart race.
"I walked out at lunch." At Gwen's words, Kevin stared at her in mock astonishment.
"Whoa... I must be really hot and irresistible for you to skive off final exams." He gave her a sly wink.
"Actually, I needed to talk to you about something."
"A little vague... Come on in." He held the door open for her and led her over to the comfy deluxe couch. "What's up?"
She took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."
He gaped at her. "YOU'RE PREGNANT?"
Gwen held her breath.
What would he say?
Would he, too, want to kill their unborn child?
Or would he leave her to care for it alone, a single teenage mother?
"Aw, man..." Kevin buried his face in his hands and Gwen burst into tears.
