"Pancakes"

Zane woke up with a killer headache. He groaned. KC was right above him, kissing his cheek once he made a sound.

"Want some pancakes? I made some a minute ago," she said, smiling. Zane smiled, rubbing his eyes.

"Sure," he said. "Plain?"

"Plain," KC confirmed. "You know, you're weird with your non-syrup pancakes," she giggled. Zane sat up. KC sat on his lap, and kissed him again.

"Pancakes are good for hangovers," KC smiled. "I did my research."

"You're the best," Zane said, kissing her cheek. He followed her to the kitchen, to see pancakes and orange juice on the counter. One plate syrup, one plate none.

As they ate, KC talked a lot about the party, how Pierce helped carry him, and how she almost didn't get him to the room. Laughs accompanied this conversation. 

The whole time, Zane thought about KC's strange behavior yesterday.

"I wanted to show you something," she said, her face dropping. Zane raised an eyebrow.

"I videoed you last night, at a red light, because you woke up in the car," she giggled nervously. Zane said a faint "oh Irene".

"Follow me. I have it on the TV."

Zane sat next to KC. She cuddled in his lap, and played the video. The screen showed Zane lounged back in the seat, and KC was holding the phone. Zane mumbled som nonsense.

"I have something to tell you," KC on the screen said. A drunken Zane replied with a "huh?"

"I'm pregnant," Screen KC said. The Zane on the screen said "woohoo!", but the Zane next to KC was still.

-

"Zane-kun?" KC muttered nervously. Oh no. He's mad. She sat up and leaned against his shoulder.

"Is it true, or were you messing with me when I was drunk?" he asked, his voice solid. He was scaring Kawaii-Chan.

"T-true," she squeaked, a tear rolling down her cheek. Zane was utterly shocked, his jaw easing up.

"Nana," he whispered, hugging KC. "Why are you crying?"

KC sniffed again. "B-because I know you don't want kids and you"re gonna be mad and leave me because work is more important and we can't afford this mistake and..."

"Who said I would leave you?" Zane wiped her cheek. "I might not want kids, but, you never know? And, I will follow you through whatever path you want us to take." he smiled, kissing her cheek. "And I'll be an awesome dad, Nana. I promise."

KC giggled a bit. Zane calling her her birth name always gave her butterflies, since it's a thing only she and him knew. And her family, but we don't talk about them.

"How long have you known?" Zane asked, holding her hand tightly. She tried to remember.

"Since Monday," she mumbled, looking away from him.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? We could have avoided that whole party," he explained. He knew he was upsetting KC, and so he stopped and hugged her. They snuggled together for a while, and spent the day talking about setting up a nursery.
