Chapter 5
"Come on Ryo you can't stay in there forever," Dee says through the bedroom door. "You have to go to work today because the chief is getting suspicious and without you there I keep getting paired up with JJ and you know how JJ is around me. Please Ryo you can't leave your partner hanging. I'll go in with you when you tell the chief," Dee says as he got to his knees to beg.
The bedroom door opened and Dee fell in the door and onto the floor at Ryo's feet. "What did JJ do this time? I swear to God I will kill him if he kissed you again," Ryo states vehemently.
Dee got to his feet but stopped in mid-motion to look at Ryo stunned because Ryo has never been this vicious since the night he almost shot the man who killed his parents. I wonder if that is the hormones talking, Dee thought. Dee straightened up all the way and says, "Ryo, you cannot kill JJ no matter how annoying he is. You do have my full permission to kick his ass if he tries anything again, just don't go overboard. Now we have to go to work because I'm sure you are going to need your sick days for later on in the pregnancy."
"I guess you're right but I'm nervous about what the guys will say let alone the chief," Ryo commented. "I mean look how Bikky reacted to the news about my condition. He reacted oddly but seemed fine with it, but this morning he is nowhere to be found," Ryo complains.
"Yeah that was weird but it has to be done today otherwise we'll lose our nerve. Besides they are bound to notice when you start showing a bulge and stuff, so it is better to get it over with." Dee states. I just hope for your sake the guys and the chief take the news like Bikky took it last night, Dee thought.
-The Previous Night-
Bikky walked into the apartment after work and there was Dee and Ryo sitting there on the couch. They both looked tired or like someone ran over their dog if they had one. "So what did the Doc say?" Bikky asks.
"Bikky I think you need to sit down for this," Ryo suggests. Bikky sits down on the love seat across from the couch. Ten minutes later Bikky just sits there for a moment without saying a word.
After the silence in the room got to be too awkward Ryo decided to ask Bikky for his opinion. Bikky then blurted out, "Does this mean I have to call you mom now?"
Ryo looked at Bikky surprised at first but then smiled as he says, "No, you don't have to call me mom. So you are okay with this?"
"Well I will admit it is a little weird, but I think it is cool that I'm going to be a big brother. I won't let you down Ryo, I promise. Man, who would have thought that my 'mom' would have an ovary and a uterus at the same time that is so weird," Ryo crossed his arms and looks at Bikky with his evil eye, "Sorry Ryo but it is weird in a cool way." Bikky replies.
Deciding to let the weird comment go Ryo says, "Thank you Bikky, I think. Alright now it is late and you have school tomorrow. Now get to bed." Bikky nods his head at Ryo then gets up to get ready for bed. Ryo and Dee get up and passes Bikky on the way to the bedroom, but Ryo turns around and says, "Hey Bikky, don't ever call me mom again." Then Ryo goes into the bedroom and shuts the door behind him.
Bikky looks at the closed door to the bedroom and thinks, Man what other changes will this thing have on Ryo? Twenty minutes later when Bikky is about to get into the pull-out bed in the couch Ryo comes out of the bedroom and heads toward the kitchen. "Ryo, I have been wondering something for the past few minutes," Bikky says.
"What is it Bikky?" Ryo inquires.
"Where is the baby going to sleep?" Bikky asks.
"Well I have been talking to the landlord and he says I can have the vacant apartment next door. I've been trying to negotiate a reasonable price ever since the adoption was finalized," Ryo explains.
"Why?" Bikky interrupts to ask.
"Well because you need your own room where you and Carol can be alone when you're at the apartment. I'll expect you to keep the door open of course but at least you'll have your own room for privacy. Now with the baby on the way I negotiated the landlord down to a decent price to buy the apartment. I'll knock down the connecting wall and make a room for you and the baby. Put in a little playroom for you both and extend the kitchen a little bit to make it bigger. Also, I'll put in another bathroom that way you won't have to wait for Dee and me to finish with it before you get a shower." Ryo says. Ryo goes into the kitchen and comes back out a few minutes later with a glass of water. Ryo goes to his bedroom then closes the door for a second time that night. Maybe this will be a good thing after all, Bikky thinks as he goes to sleep.
-Present Morning-
Dee shakes his head and then grabs Ryo by the elbow to get him out of the bedroom. "It is going to be alright because I am going to be with you and I will try to make sure no one messes with you too much," Dee states. As Dee says this he keeps dragging Ryo by the elbow to the door to leave. Dee grabs the keys to the car, both his and Ryo's wallets, both badges, he reaches for his gun and puts it in his holster, he turned to do the same for Ryo but Ryo has already done this, and then he drags Ryo through the door and locks it behind them.
Ryo yanks his elbow out of Dee's grasp and says, "Okay you don't have to drag me anymore because I will go to work today to catch up on reports and current cases. I know you're right and we will tell the guys today. Besides it is time I come back to work," Ryo states.
-30 minutes later-
Ryo and Dee walk into the department and everyone shouted (in JJ's case grumble), "Welcome back, Ryo! Or Yo, Ryo welcome back!"
"Thanks Ted, Drake, and JJ," Ryo says. Ryo went to his desk to sort through all the mail and messages that were in his in box. Dee was standing with the rest of the guys assuring them that Ryo is fine and healthy again. The guys look at Ryo for confirmation and Ryo nods to them for it. Ryo then continues to sort his mail and messages.
As soon as Ryo turns his back JJ kisses Dee unexpectedly. "Damnit JJ I told you never to kiss me again," Dee shouts in irritation. While he says this Dee tries to get JJ off him, but out of nowhere JJ got punched in the face and ended up on the floor. Dee looks over next to him and sees Ryo standing over JJ with his hands balled into fists and murder in his eyes.
"Don't ever do that again," Ryo shouts.
"Ryo don't kill him okay just leave him alone," Dee says worriedly.
While the other guys are cheering, "Way to go Ryo, we knew you had the balls to do it."
JJ gets up, dusts his pants off, puts a hand to his eye and says, "Well that was completely uncalled for you savage."
"Savage? Did you just call me a savage? I'll show you what is uncalled for you little hussy," Ryo snorts as he starts toward JJ again with his fists.
"Hey Ryo cut it out," Drake states as he gets in between Ryo and his partner.
Dee coming up behind Ryo to grab him if he did start swinging says, "Drake why don't you go take JJ to get some ice while I calm Ryo down." As soon as Drake and JJ left the room Dee turns to Ryo to state, "Ryo didn't I tell you not to go overboard? Just calm down okay or it might upset the baby." Ted just stands there a moment looking at Ryo shocked at his unusual behavior.
"I'm sorry Dee you're right I shouldn't get so mad but that man just pisses me off. I'll go and finish sorting my mail and messages because I have a lot of it," Ryo says. Drake comes back from dropping JJ off at the first aid station and goes to Ted to shake him out of his stare.
They begin to talk about what happened and then Ted asks Dee when he joins them, "Dude what is up with Ryo? He is usually not this hostile."
"Well he is a little emotional and hormonal right now," Dee explains.
"Dude we have no hormones; that is a chick thing," Drake states.
"We have hormones called testosterone, asshole." Dee replies.
"Yeah dude I know that but why would Ryo be emotional and hormonal? It does not make any sense," Ted says.
Ryo has been able to hear the entire conversation and has been getting annoyed with each passing minute until finally he shouts, "I'm pregnant you morons!"
They all look at Ryo in shock, even JJ because he has walked back in the room while Ryo was shouting. Ryo quickly turns back to his mail because he is embarrassed. Dee just shakes his head and looks up as if to plead for help. "Ha-ha, nice try guys we're not falling for that joke," Drake says as he and Ted start laughing.
"Guys Ryo is being serious and if you don't stop laughing you are going to piss him off. Please do not upset him again," Dee pleads with them.
"First Dee doesn't believe me, then the doctor says I'm a pimp and a drug dealer, and now you guys don't believe me. I can't take this anymore!" Ryo says as he starts to cry.
"Thanks a lot guys now you gone and done it. You morons!" Dee says in exasperation.
JJ runs up to Dee and hugs him to bring him in for another kiss. Dee pushes him away a little but JJ won't let him go. "You know Dee when Ryo gets fat and ugly I will be here waiting to give you all the lovin' you deserve. Just then a stapler flies across the room and hits JJ in his other eye.
"Keep your hands off him you two cent whore. Dee is mine and not yours so get over it," Ryo says as he gets up from his desk to go over to where the group is standing. While he does this he pops his knuckles to prepare for the ass whopping he wanted to give.
"Oh man now I need ice for the other one," JJ complains as he heads out to the first aid station.
"That is what you get home wrecker!" Ryo yells.
"Geez, Ryo I didn't know you were this hormonal," Drake says.
"Well I can't help it asshole. That's it! I am going to the file room to get the files I need for my reports and maybe that can give me time to calm down," Ryo states.
"Wait Ryo, I have one more question," Ted says.
"What?" Ryo asks on a frustrated sigh.
"How are you pregnant? I mean guys are not supposed to be able to get pregnant, right?" Ted asks.
Ryo was so angry that he did not even answer the question and just stormed off to the file room. Ted and Drake looked at each other shrugged their shoulders. Then they remembered they had to turn in reports to the chief so they went out to do that. While on their way to the chief's office they talked about Ryo and his pregnancy wondering how it is possible, but little do they know that all the cops they pass over hear their conversation and begin to spread the rumor around the news. As Ryo is going through the filing cabinets to get the files he needs for his reports other cops that know him keep coming in and asking if the gossip is true. One after another come in to ask, "Ryo, are you really pregnant? How?" Ryo just gives them different responses like, "None of your business. Go away I have work to do. No comment." Then Ryo gets so frustrated and annoyed that he covers his ears and runs to the one place he knows that no one will bother him. He soon finds out that trying to get to the storage basement means going through the building but he goes anyway for just a little bit of peace. Many cops try and stop him to ask him if the rumor mill is right about the recent news, but he just ignores them and keeps walking. When Ryo gets to the basement he begins to pace and mumbles to himself.
"I can't believe I have to go through this shit. Do I have to repeat myself over and over again? I won't! I can't! It is too humiliating. Fuck it! I know a way to tell everyone," Ryo says. He goes over to the PA port and takes the microphone down then punches the code in for the whole building and states: "Attention 27th precinct this is a news flash that will only be told once so all you gossip whores better listen. This is Randy Ryo McLane. I am a man and yes I am pregnant!"
Dee looks up at the intercom box and says, "Oh no! Ryo is not can't be thinking about doing it this way!" Dee then shakes his head and covers his eyes with his hand.
Ryo continues his address to the whole precinct by saying: "For all you psycho's that want to know how here is the medical miracle. I have one ovary and one testi which is a one in three million phenomenon, and I happen to be that fucking one! Then I have a uterus yes you heard right a uterus which is a one and three billion phenomenon and again I am that fucking one! I happen to be the unique bastard amongst trillions of men to bear a child."
"Ryo please do not say what I think you are going to say," Dee moans in distress.
Ryo continues his rant on the PA by saying: "For all inquiring minds that just have to know everything Dee Laytner is the baby's daddy."
"Oh man I can't believe he did this to me," Dee says as he uses his jacket to hide in to avoid the eyes of the other cops. Then he gets up, slams his fists on his desk and says, "That is it I am going to find him and shut him up before he embarrasses himself." Dee then gets up and goes out into the building in search of his very chatty partner while trying to avoid the cops that keep trying to talk to him.
While Dee says and does these things Ryo has been continuing his rant by saying: "I swear I will never let Dee get me drunk on New Year's Eve again. That is the night that Dee got me pregnant by the way. Oh and I almost forgot my due date is September 30th. Why do I have to be the fucking one in millions of trillions? I swear you morons are the worst people to work with sometimes. I can't believe I have to go through this shit where people never believe me! Dee, what the hell are you doing here?"
Dee has finally found Ryo and is now coming towards Ryo to get him to stop but before he can some of their fight go out through the PA system. "I'm here to keep you from embarrassing yourself or me any further. Now give me that microphone," Dee states.
"No don't take it from me. Give me that microphone asshole," Ryo yells.
"That's enough Ryo," Dee replies. As they both struggle for the microphone their pants, grunts, and breathing are going out over the PA. Ryo grabs the microphone and the momentum from his pulling and from Dee's letting go, because he didn't want to hurt Ryo, sent the microphone across the room and thrown against the wall. When it hits the wall the microphone breaks making the PA system screech. Dee goes over to the PA port and punches the code to turn the PA system back to normal ending the ear-piercing screech.
"Ryo just what the hell were you thinking by doing this?" Dee demanded.
"I just got so pissed at everyone for coming and asking 'is it true' and 'how is it possible'. So I just thought one address to everyone would make it so I don't have to repeat myself over and over again. I'm sorry Dee I did not mean to go so far with it. Oh man I really put my foot in it this time. Well at least everyone knows now," Ryo replies. As Ryo is explaining his actions he is becoming calmer by the minute.
"True, but I don't think that we have to worry about that anymore. So can we get back to work?" Dee says.
"Yeah, I think I'm ready to go back to work." Ryo states.
"Okay, do you feel better?" Dee asks.
"Yes, much better thank you." Ryo replies. They walk back through the building to their desk quiet but feel a bit awkward because everyone is looking at Ryo strangely and shaking their heads at Dee.
As they sit down at their desks JJ runs in and yells to Dee, "See Dee you have to get Ryo drunk in order to get into his pants, but I offer myself to you freely!" As JJ says this he moves out of the door but stays by the wall to avoid being hit again. –Smack- A cup hits JJ square in the nose breaking it on impact. The pens that were in the cup have now outlined JJ's head and shoulders against the wall like knives do around a person on the spinning wheel at a carnival.
"Ouch! Shit not again. That's it I'm going home," JJ states.
"Well good riddance you dirty hoe. Go on and get back to your street corner!" Ryo yells.
"I am going to assume that was hormones and forgive you for that statement," JJ says. Ryo threw his name plate at JJ, but JJ ducked this time.
As Ryo threw the name plate he says, "I don't need forgiveness from a hooker. I think your pimp called and he wants his money." JJ was so offended and scared Ryo might actually do so damage that he just left. JJ went to the chief's office to ask permission to leave early. While all this action has been going on Dee was laughing his ass off until he fell out of his chair. When Ryo made his last comment Dee sobered up and says, "Wasn't that a little bit harsh Ryo? Jesus Christ!"
Before Ryo could respond the chief came over the PA and yells, "Dee! Ryo! Get into my office now!"
