Another Fish Upon the Sky?

Duean and Mork beat each other up

9th week of pregnancy. Pi’s Pov. 

My mom snatched the ultrasound from Duean’s hand and examined it, noticing my name on the top of the picture. My heart beat was getting out of control. My hand palms were sweating like crazy. My blood was boiling with anger. Most importantly, I felt nauseous, anticipating what my parents would say. 

“Pi, I can’t believe this?! I don’t know what to say.” She paused for a second, clearly frustrated, “Why would you do this to yourself? To your future. How are you going to deal with the child, college, and your career.” She breaks down, disappointment in her tone. My heart shattered having the thought in my mind that I disappointed and failed everyone around me. 

I was about to speak out and tried to explain myself when I was interrupted by my dad, “how  can you be irresponsible like this?!” He raised his voice, which shocked me because he never scolded me like this before. 

“It wasn’t my intention in getting pregnant.” I impatiently yelled out. 

“Well you shouldn’t have slept with him in the first place.” My dad counterattacked. My mom shook her head angrily, tears falling. My dad comforted her by rubbing her back soothingly as she cried. Afterwards, she leaves up to her room followed by my dad.

 As they left, I broke down while wiping my tears running down my face. I’m a failure to my parents. They probably hate me now. They may not even love my baby. 

“Pi-” Duean was trying to talk to me but I left upstairs, not wanting to hear him. How can he do this to me? I hate him and I won’t ever forgive him. 

Duean’s Pov

As he ran upstairs to our room, I followed him. I wasn’t going to let this go. I wanted more explanation and I wanted to know what he’s going to do with the baby. Once I was in front of the door and my hand was gripping on the door knob, I took a deep breath and entered cautiously. 

Just when I entered, I was hit by a pillow on the chest that Pi purposefully threw at me. I wasn’t quite angry at him. I’m instead angry at Mork for getting my little brother pregnant and putting him in this situation. He’s still young to start a family in my opinion. When I get to see Mork again, he’s going to pay for what he did to Pi. 

Get the fuck out of my sight! I don’t want to see you!” Pi hollered at me, his veins popping out at the side of his forehead. 

“Pi-” I calmly started, but was interrupted once again. 

“I said get the fuck out!” Pi screeched out, why did you have to blabber everything to them? You want them to hate me, don’t you?” He questioned, sobs and whimpers spilled out of his mouth. 

“Hate you? They don’t hate you! They love and care about you. I told them, because they have the right to know what’s going on with you. If I hadn’t told them, how would you have hid it from us?” I made a good point. 

What makes Pi think that our parents hate him. They just acted that way because they’re overprotective of him and are worried at the same time. 

“Yeah right! You heard them! They clearly hate me.”

“They’re just protective of you! Most importantly, they’re disappointed in you for being irresponsible and I don’t blame them. I’m disappointed in you as well.” He glared right back at me, “How are you going to deal with the baby and school and your career on top of all of those responsibilities? Does Mork Know about the baby?” 

    “I don’t know. I would figure out something. He does know already.” He stated. 

    You don’t understand raising a child is a huge responsibility? The baby is only going to get in the way.” I attacked back.
