Xiao Zhan opened his eyes slowly and blinked then squeezed his eyes shut at the glaring light coming in through the window. He groaned, turned over and reached out for Yibo. He made a confused noise and moved his hand around. He slowly opened one eye.

Nothing. No Yibo. He was alone.

He frowned, it took him a minute to remember what happened. He buried his head in Yibo's pillow and screamed. How is this his life? He was pregnant. With triplets . He should be happy. Yibo should be happy. But no, he was pissed. He didn't want them. Xiao Zhan's eyes burned, tears building up. He struggled to keep them from falling.

Fuck, he needs to talk to someone. Yuna would know what to do, but she was so busy with work and with her son. Xiao Zhan didn't want to bother her. Maybe Meng Ziyi could help. No, she would just use it as another reason to hate Yibo. They would know eventually, of course but not right now. Even if Xiao Zhan didn't tell them his soon to be baby bump would.

After thinking for a while he decided that Yuna knows. She could probably help. He felt really bad but he didn't have a choice so he picked up his phone and dialed. She picked up on the fourth ring.

"Sorry, I was doing chores what's up?" What? Xiao Zhan looked at the alarm clock, 5:37. So early.

"Oh, uh sorry.....I, It's just. He left."

Yuna was silent. "Who?"

"Yibo. He found out last night. He was pissed and told me to get rid of it then he just left."

"He what. " Oh great, she was pissed too. Seems like all Xiao Zhan is good for now is pissing everyone off. "Want me to kill him?"

"No." Xiao Zhan let out a wet shaky laugh.

"I'll kill him slowly. give me a go and I'll do it."

Xiao Zhan laughed again, it sounded wet and broken. It took Yuna a long time to warm up to Yibo before she found out he was dating her friend. She's always been very protective of the people she cared about, twice as protective of Xiao Zhan. Maybe because Xiao Zhan is brave enough to befriend her since everyone is afraid of her and she used to be a merc. "Please don't."

"Then, what are you calling me for?"

"I don't know, I just needed someone to talk to. I don't know what to do."

"Well, Yibo doesn't want the kid, right?"

"Kids." Xiao Zhan corrected. "I'm having triplets."

"Come again?"

"You heard me. Triplets."

"Well I wasn't expecting that." Yuna said softly. "So, Yibo doesn't want them. Do you?"

"I don't know." Xiao Zhan shrugged. "I mean, after Yibo told me he didn't want any I gave up on the idea of actually having any. This shouldn't even be possible, we're both men."

"Well," Yuna hummed. "Maybe..never mind. that wouldn't make sense."

"What?"

"Nothing,"

"Come on, what is it?"

"Nope not gonna happen, I'm just gonna embarrassed myself to you so no."

"Pfft, you're a weirdo sometimes." Xiao Zhan smiled, he was already feeling better.

"So, you want me to make the appointment?"

Appointment? They weren't talking about making any appointments. "Uh, for what?"

"The abortion." She said plainly, the "duh" going unsaid.

" Excuse me?" Xiao Zhan said, his voice going embarrassingly high. He didn't even think about that. Which was stupid of him because Yibo obviously was when he told him to get rid of his baby. Babies. "What the fuck Yuna."

"Yibo told you to get one." She said in the same tone, like she was talking to a child.

"That doesn't mean I'm going to. I want to talk to him first, before I decide to do anything."

"Right... Good luck with that."

Okay, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Yuna was always more bitchy in the morning. So was he, but coffee.

"I'm going to try to find Yibo. I need to talk with him."

"Xiao Zhan," Yuna started. "It seems like Yibo was pretty clear on what he wanted you to do."

"No. I'm not, I can't. I need him." Xiao Zhan felt his lower lip wobble. Oh great, he was going to cry again. "Maybe if we talked it over, maybe he'll change his mind?"

"Right, you do that. Call me when you want me to set it up." She hung up.

Xiao Zhan sat there and listened to the dial tone for a few seconds, then clicked 'end call" and curled around Yibo's pillow.

When. She made it sound like it was a definite. Like he was going to get rid of them. He had to talk to Yibo. Have a real adult conversation with him and talk this over. Xiao Zhan was almost positive he could get Yibo to at least think about having the triplets.

He looked down at his cell, finger hovering over Yibo's contact photo. He probably wouldn't even pick up.

He might though.

But he might just outright decline it.

Xiao Zhan groaned again and banged his head softly on Yibo's pillow. This was so stupid. He wasn't going to pick up. It was barely 6 AM and Yibo was never up before 9 if he could help it so of course he wouldn't answer.

But it's fine, Xiao Zhan can wait. He's still tired so he can drift off or something and wait until it was 9.

Xiao Zhan sniffed and looked at the photo on the nightstand. It made him cry last night and, if he was being honest, it still made him want to curl up in a tight ball and sob. He forced himself not to though. Crying wouldn't solve this. Besides, Yibo was coming back. He had to come back.

Xiao Zhan drifted off, looking at the picture lost in thought. Before he knew it, it was almost 9.

He can do this. If he doesn't pick up then he'll just leave a message. Everything would be fine.

He took a deep breath and clicked the call button. It was ringing, so Yibo didn't decline his call. What if he doesn't pick up? What then? Xiao Zhan can think of a few places he might be, but he doesn't want to run all over New York trying to find him.

'... leave a message after the beep .'

Sorry it was a very short chapter, I was thinking ways of endinging this story tbh so, I wanted y'all opinions.

Should I kill Xiao Zhan?
