Another Fish Upon the Sky?

Duean and Mork find out about Pi's pregnancy

One month later. Pi’s POV…

Walking downstairs, I turned to head to the kitchen when I was greeted by my mom. “Oh Pi, your father and I are both going to go to work. We’ll be back around 10. There’s still some leftovers for you and Duean if you guys get hungry.”  

“Okay but can I sleepover at Mork’s place?” I asked for permission with pleading eyes. 

“That’s fine but be sure to come back safely.”

“Yeah no problem.” I uttered, taking a seat. 

“We better hurry. We’ve got a lot of appointments today.” My dad intervened. 

“You’re right. Eat breakfast okay?” 

“Okay.” Both of my parents kissed my forehead and headed out the door.  Excellent, my mom made my breakfast. I was about to take my first bite of porridge when a wave of nausea hit me. Taking a deep breath, I swallowed back the urge to throw up and I forced myself to eat at least one bite. I couldn’t hold it back. Covering my mouth, I ran upstairs into the bathroom and kneeled in front of the toilet, spilling all of the contents from last night.  

In the faint distant, excluding my gagging sounds, I heard footsteps running up to the bathroom door.

“Hey Pi! What’s wrong? Why are you throwing up again?” Duean kept banging on the door like a maniac causing my anxiety to sky rocket. Trying my best to stop puking my guts out, but I only failed. I don’t want him to see him in this state or else he would throw several questions at me.

 Duean threw open the door and saw me pathetically on the floor, with throw up and saliva smeared on my mouth. 

“What’s the matter with you? You’ve been throwing up for two days. You should tell mom so she can check on you.”

Brushing it off, I got a grasp of the bathroom counter and used my leg strength to pick myself up. I opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom only to rush back in and throw up. 

On the floor, feeling mixed emotions, Sad. Confused. Worried. I thought to myself “what is wrong with me? Am I sick? Do I have a virus? What if I’m pregnant?!” The possibility of me being pregnant made my heart drop in a second. 

No, I can't be pregnant. I don’t want to be pregnant. What will I do with the baby? My parents and brothers will kill me. I shouldn’t worry. Besides, I might not be pregnant. Male pregnancy is possible but extremely rare. With time passed by, I got out of the bathroom once again and went into my bedroom. I was greeted by Duean who seemed suspicious. 

Duean’s POV

“Are you okay? I think it would be best if you tell mom.” I suggested, eyeing him suspiciously. 

“No, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing major. It will most likely pass away.” He bit his lip as he always does when he’s nervous or he’s lying to me.

“I know you're lying to me, Pi. You're a bad liar. Have you done anything with Mork?” I tried to smoothly imply if he’s pregnant. If it turns out that he is pregnant, I would kill Mork with my own bare hands. 

“What do you mean by that?” He questioned me, eyes widening. 

“I mean have you slept with Mork?” 

“No! Are you crazy? I haven’t.” He yelled defensively but I could tell by his body language that he was lying to me but decided in my head to go along with his lies.

“Okay,” I dragged along, “good because you’re still way too young to have a baby with Mork. Besides if you are pregnant, mom and dad will both seriously kill you.
