Chapter 43: Baby Ninja on Board
(Cole's POV)
I almost got killed by my father-in-law! What the heck?! Oh crap, this is how it's gonna be for a while isn't it. Oh crud. I was walking to go see Mag in her room when I saw her huddled up on the bed rocking back and forth. "Mag," I said walking into the room "are you ok?" She looked up from starring at her knees and starred at me instead. "Cole, I- I- I'm uh- I- have news." This isn't going to be easy. I can tell it isn't gonna be pretty. "Whatever it is you can tell me," I sat down on the bed next to her and laid my arm around her shoulder. "I'm- I'm pregnant," Huh? Oh god loosing feeling in my legs. I think I'm gonna pass out. No, I can't. I have to stay awake for Mag. "That's… amazing." I do not sound convincing. "You don't sound convincing." "I know, but I am glad to be a dad." Oh how is this gonna turn out. Mag was nearly killed like two days ago. I can't lose her and my child. "How far are you?" I asked her. "I think about four weeks. That explains the mood swing when my dad tortured you." We laughed at her joke and recollection. "You know my father's going to kill you when he finds out about this," she pointed to her stomach smiling. "Yeah, but it's worth it to have a miracle with you." "Very smooth rock head." We laughed and then we felt a jerk on the ship. "Attention everyone, we've reached the Quetlan Woods!" Ben said over the intercom. "Time to meet my family," she told me getting up. I smiled and wrapped my hands around her, "Careful, baby on board." We chuckled one last time as we walked to the bridge.
(Mag's POV)
So I'm pregnant, so I'll have to tell everyone, so I'll have to take it easy, so what? Oh good creator of Ninjago who is my grandfather! What have I let myself get into! "We can take our vehicles down so everyone pair up," Kai said. Father went with Ally, Molly took Lloyd, Uncle went with Nya, and Ben chose his suit. "Uh, guys," I said nervously "I really don't feel comfortable being jostled around right now." I rubbed my stomach worried about the percussions of using my motorcycle while I'm pregnant. "Why? You love your motorcycle," Molly asked. "Well- I uh- I can't actually ride it." "What do you mean?" Crystal asked. "Mag, what's going on?" Ally said. "Well- I uh- just uh- found out- I'm…. pregnant," I basically whispered the last part. The room went more silent then a grave yard. "Surprise," Cole quietly said trying to take the edge off the dead silence. "And, Cole's the father," Ally said. I nodded my head and smiled. "OH MY GOODNESS! CONGRATS! I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT!" Crystal started yelling and hugging me. "Crystal please! I'm only four weeks don't crush the baby!" I begged to get air. She let go and the others all seemed to come too, except father. "So… we'll just… walk then," Kai said. "So," Lloyd said walking up to me "I'm getting a brother and a nephew?" "Right on the nose bud, but it could be a niece," I said tussling his hair. "But Mag, where do babies come from?" O M G! I cannot have this talk with him. I think the others heard him too because every face was pale except for Molly's. "Yeah, how do babies get born?" Molly added on. "Uuuuuhhhhhh, this is a father's conversation. Good Luck Father!" I left the room and heard the others did too. "Bye Daddy!" "See yuh Dad!" "Good luck Garmadon!" "Bye bye Molly!" "I have to pack!" "I need some tea!" "My suit needs fixing!" "I'm uncomfortable!" "This isn't for me!" "I should go with Mag!" We left him there with them all alone as I decided I should wear normal clothes out. It was really an excuse to not have that conversation about the birds and the bees. The others and I were all in our girls' room trying out clothes. I just wore a purple tank top, black sweatpants, brown sandals, and tied a black bow in my hair around my long ponytail. Ally wore a pink T-shirt with a white heart on it, stonewashed jeans, black sneakers, and black fingerless gloves. Crystal had a long sleeve baby blue top, white jean capries, black flats, and a grey sweater tied around her waist. Molly finally came in complaining about father not giving an answer that made sense. She wore an orange T-shirt, knee tattered jeans, white flip flops, and white and yellow bracelets all up her left arm. We joined the others seeing them in average attire. Cole had a black sweat shirt and jeans, Jay had a blue jacket unzipped with a white T-shirt and blue jeans, Zane had a white jacket with a grey undershirt and grey jeans, and Kai had a red sweat shirt with the symbol for fire on it and black jeans. Father wore the same outfit as always, as was Uncle, Ben had a brown T-shirt with blue jeans and his wristlet, Lloyd had on a green sweatshirt with black jeans and white sneakers, and Nya had a red V-neck top with black leggings, black flats, and her bracelet. "So we just keep walking until we just reach a cabin?" Jay asked. "Just follow us blue boy," Ally said. We walked down the plank and we headed into the woods. Cole wrapped his arm around my waist and wouldn't let go in this strange new place. He's gonna be a very protective dad, I can tell that.
