Author's Note:

I'm sorry that I took so long to update this story, and that it's kinda short. I'm having difficulty lately with some things.

But, I've finished two of my stories now, and this is the one that I've chosen to focus on next, so it won't be anywhere near as long for the next update as it was for this one, I promise you all. :)

Anyway, on to Ben and Kevin!

Enjoy, and be sure to tune in next time for the love scene that Kevin promised Ben! :)

Chapter 7 Marry Me

"I don't understand how this happened, doctor," Kevin said the next day where he sat beside Ben on his hospital bed, holding his left hand gently in his own as he spoke. "I mean, I'm not upset, and yeah, Ben's a guy, but I used protection, every time, even though we were both virgins before we moved in together."

"Really? Well, I applaud you for that caution. It shows that you really love Ben, and that you'd do anything not to hurt him. But, I'm afraid that human protection measures are ineffective for Ben, at least for this anyway, as he's not fully human because of the Omnitrix. After the child is born, it can be arranged that he be supplied with alien birth control?"

"Oh. Um, yeah, that'd be great. I mean, if it's what Ben wants."

"Yes, please," Ben said now, flushing slightly in embarrassment at the subject of conversation.

"Very well. You seem to be doing alright financially as a couple, so you should be more then able to take care of the child adequately. I don't believe that there's any real harm done here. However, if you ever need any help, that's what we are here for Ben. Don't hesitate to call us, okay?"

"Sure. Thank you. I think I'll rest for a while longer before Kevin takes me home."

"Of course. Good luck, and don't forget to schedule a check up soon."

"Yeah, okay."

Ben was embarrassed, but after his nap Kevin insisted on carrying him out to their car wrapped in his owl blanket, blushing when Kevin set him down in the front seat and buckled him in as well before kissing his forehead tenderly, shutting the door and walking around to the driver's side to get in.

He buckled himself in, then smiled at Ben with shining black eyes before sticking the key in the ignition and starting the car, stating with a soft purr as his dark eyes never left Ben's green ones, "When we get home, I'm going to kiss and lick every inch of you, Ben baby…"

Ben shuddered and nodded, trembling now with anticipation, and they were on their way back home.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at their apartment, Ben's grandpa and cousin were there to greet them, as Sandra and Carl must have told them he'd be getting out today.

Kevin went and unlocked the front door, then came back for Ben.

"I'm fine," Ben reassured them while Kevin carried him into the house, Max shutting the door behind everyone as Kevin set Ben down on the couch gently and took the spot beside him, slipping an arm around his shoulders as their guests took the nearby chairs. "He, um, just likes to.. take care of me."

"Uh, huh," Gwen said with slightly narrowed eyes.

"So, what happened?" Max asked quickly in an attempt to stall any arguments. "Sandra and Carl said that it was best if you told us the news."

"Well.. It's, um.." Ben stammered, flushing red as he leaned his body against Kevin's for comfort and support now. "I'm pregnant. It's Kevin's baby, our baby. I guess my alien dna makes it possible for me to carry offspring. Who knew?"

Max and Gwen stared at the couple in shocked silence for a moment, though it was Gwen who seemed most disturbed by the announcement.

"You're.. going to have a baby? Kevin's baby?"

"His and mine, yes," Ben answered her, curling closer into Kevin's side with a return smile when the older man kissed his hair lovingly with a soft smile. "I suppose that we'll have to do the responsible thing and get married now rather then later."

Kevin looked surprised at that.

"You want to marry me?.."

"Of course," Ben replied, obviously puzzled by his reaction. "Why wouldn't I? I love you. Don't you want the same?"

"More then anything in the world. I just wasn't sure that was what you wanted, too. That's the only reason that I hadn't asked you about it yet."

Ben was surprised when Kevin shifted himself down off of the couch and onto his knees in front of him, taking Ben's left hand in-between both of his as he looked up at him with a smile.

"Will you be with me always, Ben?" Kevin asked him with obvious nerves. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh, Goddess," Ben said breathlessly after licking his suddenly dry lips, his happy face flushing pink as he looked down at his boyfriend and lover, now the father of their child and soon to be husband. "Yes, yes, I will marry you. I want to be with you forever, Kevin. I love you, so much."

"I'm glad."

"We should go," Max said, shaking his head at Gwen when she opened her mouth to speak with fire in her green eyes. "But we'll come back and visit soon."

Kevin nodded, following them to the door politely to see them out, locking it behind them when they left before heading back to the living room for Ben, scooping him up in his arms gently, blanket and all to carry him back to their bedroom.
