(A/N: Happy April Fools Day! Don't go over board you guys! :D oh and I forgot to do this in the last chapter... Thanks for reviewing Jessa-Lie! :D)

Zim POV

:"What?" I yelled at the doctor.

"I'm sorry, but you have about one day to make up your mind." He said and walked out with his head down, shaking his head.

I looked down at Gaz… she wanted to have the child… but I couldn't lose her… I lost Tenn; I don't want to lose Gaz.

I pulled up a chair next to the bed and sat down, looking at Gaz… she seemed so peaceful. I set my hand down on her extended belly and it was still.

I was going to have a family… sure, it wasn't my smeet, but it wasn't it's fault… Never blame a smeet for something that isn't it's fault. I bent down and kissed Gaz's stomach and sighed as I set my head down on it… what am I going to do?

If I save Gaz, she'll be able to have as many smeets as she likes… but she'll be depressed that she lost this one… and I'll feel guilty about killing the smeet before it even had a chance at life…

If I save the smeet, I'll have to take care of him, Dib might be there for me… but it would never have the love of a mother, and Tallest Red will have a heir…

Would Gaz ever forgive me for killing her baby? She would never have to know that the baby had a chance… I'll just tell her that whatever bone she broke killed the baby… that's what I'll do… I'm not going to lose Gaz.

The baby kicked my face again, and my eyes started to tear up. "I'm sorry." I murmured and gave Gaz's stomach a kiss.

I felt it move, and my throat closed up, it kept kicking… as if it didn't agree with my decision. I laid my head there, letting it hit me… I deserved every single one of its kicks… I don't even know if it was male or female.

Tears ran down from my eyes and onto Gaz's stomach and the smeet calmed down. I sighed and let out a few sobs… escaped me.

This smeet has an effect on me that I can't shake off. This is going to kill me for the rest of my life.

"I couldn't even name you." I murmured, one of my claws drawing tiny circles across Gaz's stomach. "You may not have been my blood… but it sure feels like you would have been." I murmured laying my hand flat against Gaz's skin to feel the smeet that was just underneath there.

My curiosity got the best of me. "Kick once if you're a male… kick twice if you're female." I whispered to the smeet a small smile forming on my face.

It kicked me two times and the smile that was appearing on my face disappeared… it was a girl… and what made it worse was that it was developed enough to understand what I was saying…

I sighed. "Please forgive me… but I can't lose your mother." I murmured and gave it one last kiss.

I made this one last, it felt like forever…

I pulled back and my hand went up to push Gaz's bangs away from her forehead and I gave her a quick kiss there. "I'll see you later." I murmured.

I stood up and looked down at Gaz's stomach and I saw the bulge move. My throat grew tighter than it already was… "I'm so sorry." I whispered one more time to the smeet that was going to die and walked out of the room, wiping away any stray tears that were streaming down my face.

I ran into the doctor just outside the door. It was as if he was about to walk in. "Have you made your decision?" he asked.

I nodded. "Try to keep the female alive." I told him, with my head down as I stepped around him and out of the room to be confronted by one of the guards. In his hand he held his hand cuffs.

I sighed and I held out my hands.

He cuffed my wrists behind my back.

I turned just as we were about to leave to hear a smeet cry from the room and then complete silence. The deed was done. Gaz was going to live… but the smeet female… that was another story.

I walked out of there, the guard behind me, with my head down, I couldn't look up… I was so ashamed of my decision… I just killed an innocent smeet.

Tears slid down my cheeks and they didn't stop…. Nor did I will them to. They were in respect for the creature that just gave up its life for its mother… may it rest in peace,
