Can't forget you [a Kyle O'Reilly story]

"Come on, O'Reilly. Give up!" I giggled as I held Kyle in a leg lock.

After we were done with self-defense training for the day, we goofed around a bit while we waited for Adam, Roddy and Bobby to show up for their actual training.

"That will never happen, baby!" he assured me and countered the hold. It happened so fast that I didn't know what hit me. Now I was the one whose back was pressed to the gym mats. Kyle was always extra careful when we playfully wrestled because he didn't want to hurt me.

"So now what, Miss L/N?" he asked as he hovered over me, a cocky grin on his face.

I briefly thought about what I should do now and then quickly wrapped my legs around his waist and rolled him onto his back. I would never have been able to do that, but Kyle played along and let me do it.

I grabbed his arms and pinned them above his head. Still I couldn't stop laughing.

"Ha! I'm winning!" I cheered.

"Pure wishful thinking!" retorted Kyle.

"Oh yeah?" I said, but got no answer from him. I leaned forward and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Say that I won..." I prompted him. His eyes appeared to darken a shade.

"Okay, fine. You win!" he finally admitted.

As a reward, I leaned in once more and kissed him a little more heatedly this time. Suddenly I heard someone clearing their throat behind us. My head snapped around to look at the amused faces of Adam, Bobby and Roddy, who had Troy with him. Looking down at the little man, I noticed that Roddy had his eyes covered.

"What are you two doing?" asked Roddy with a smug grin.

"Oh, um... we're just practicing." I explained to him as I let go of Kyle's arms and jumped up.

"You guys are practicing what? How to make babies?" asked Adam, laughing out loud.

"Dude!" scolded Roddy, looking meaningfully down at Troy.

"Sorry." muttered Adam in response.

"Are we going to work out or what?" Kyle tried to change the subject.

"Sure. You're already warmed up." then Bobby said.

"You bet I am." he smirked.

"Y/N, do you mind keeping an eye on Troy?" Roddy wanted to know from me.

"I'll keep an eye on him. No problem, right, big boy?" I said addressing the two of them.

"Y/N, look I have 2 new trucks my mommy bought me!" said Troy as we sat down together in a corner of the gym and the men started their workout.

"Oh those are awesome! Have you read the new book with Mommy and Daddy that I gave you yet?" I asked the little man.

"Yes! It was so cool!" he said happily, throwing his arms in the air.

An hour later, I was lying on the mat with Troy and we were both coloring together in his coloring book.

"Thanks for watching him, Y/N." said Roddy as the men came over to us.

"It was my pleasure. He's been a good boy." I replied, ruffling through Troy's hair.

"Okay, buddy. Let's go home then. Your mom will be waiting for us." said Roddy to Troy.

"You'll have to catch me first, Daddy!" the little boy squealed and ran off laughing.

Also laughing, Roddy followed his son and tried to catch him. Laughing, the rest of us watched the scene of the two. It was really adorable.

Kyle wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and pulled me closer to him. His chin rested on my shoulder.

"They are so cute together, aren't they?" I said to Kyle.

"Yes, they really are. You know, I can't wait until we have our own little Hurricane. Half you and half me." said Kyle completely unexpectedly. He caught me totally off guard with that.

"Mmmh..." was all I replied as I noticed my whole body tense up.

"Did I say something wrong?" he asked after he noticed me stiffening.

"Of course you didn't. Can we please talk about this at home?" I replied. 

All the way home and in the shower I tried to find a way to explain this to Kyle. How would he react? What I had to tell him could possibly change our whole relationship.

When Kyle came out of the bathroom, I pulled him to me on the couch and held his hand. I tried to figure out where to start.

"Listen, baby. Something is bothering you. Could it be that you don't want kids or why did you react so weirdly to my statement earlier? You can tell me, really," Kyle began.

"What you said caught me a little off guard because we haven't talked about it before. And I know I should have told you a lot sooner. Now I can only hope that this doesn't change everything. But if it does, I just... I just want you to know that I understand," I said to Kyle.

"Y/N, you're scaring me. What's going on?" he wanted to know.

"Kyle, here's the thing.... I'm probably not able to have babies," I replied. My voice became more and more of a whisper.

"What do you... um, what do you mean?" he asked, shocked.

"Without going into too much detail right now, it has something to do with my ovaries. The production of eggs. And the position of my uterus. It's not impossible, but... but the chances of me ever getting pregnant are only 20%." I explained to him quietly. Tears brimmed in my eyes.

"Hey, baby, calm down. I'm sure we'll find a way. I mean, there are more options like in vitro fertilization or even adoption." he said reassuringly.

"Yeah, I know. But you said yourself you want a one half you and half me. I just want you to know that it's possible that might not happen for us. And like I said, I understand if that changes the way you look at our relationship and our future," I replied as I wiped the tears from my cheek.

"It's not going to change anything, baby. I promise you that. We have a deal, remember? Not giving up and running away." said Kyle as he pulled me into his arms so that my head rested against his shoulder.

"I know, I know, but I just overwhelmed you with information that changes everything. I want you to think about it. It's an important decision," I explained.

"I'll think about it, but please don't drive yourself crazy, Y/N." replied Kyle, pressing his lips to my forehead.

Now all I could do was hope that my news wouldn't change everything for Kyle.
