Little Surprises and Big Discoveries

Chapter 6: How to prove your love

About a week after Techno 'moved in' with Type and Tharn, the soccer player was starting to get sick of hearing his best friend sobbing into his pillow. He was also fairly worried as his friend had to basically be force fed in order to get him to eat anything. There had to be something he could do about it. In the end, he dragged Techno into his and Tharn's car and took him to the hospital. "You need to stop moping around. I get that you're sad, but you need to remember that you're growing a person Techno. You need to be reminded that it's important to care for yourself as much as you can." He had told the other man after dragging him into the hospital and signing him in. Type went with Techno when his name was finally called.

"Techno, what brings you in today? You're next appointment wasn't until next week." His doctor said once Techno was seated on the bed. Said man just shrugged and motioned to his friend. "He's having trouble in paradise with the baby daddy and has been depressed. I was getting worried for his health and I thought that maybe seeing the baby would give him a boost." Type explained as frankly as he could. The doctor nodded and started the check up.

When the doctor was finished he got the ultrasound machine ready. "Okay Techno, you're looking okay so laydown, lift your shirt and we'll see how the baby is." He said as Techno followed the instructions. Type moved closer to his friend and held his hand. "Come on Techno, smile. I know how much you love the baby." He said trying to coax a smile or a groan from his best friend. Techno just sighed. "We were gonna find out the gender next week Type. Kla was so excited to see what we were having." He said with a small frown on his face. Type just frowned back and rubbed his friends arm soothingly.

Once the machine was ready the doctor started to perform the ultrasound. "Well it seems we'll have no choice in the matter on seeing the gender this time. This little one is definitely not feeling shy about spreading HIS legs at all." The doctor said putting emphasis on one particular word and smiling widely. Techno blinked and stared at the doctor, squeezing Type's hand slightly. "H-his? It's a boy?" He asked quietly. The doctor nodded. "And he seems to be doing really well. But either way, your friends is right Techno. Whether you and your boyfriend are fighting or not, you need to be taking care of yourself. This little guy needs you to try your hardest to stay healthy and maybe this information will be the motivation you need to do so. Also, we can cancel your appointment for next week. Just make sure you make one for next month so we can keep checking up on you. It'll be harder on your body in the third trimester, so we need to keep a close watch on yours and his development." He said finishing up the check up and leaving the room.

On their way out, Techno made sure to do what the doctor said as well as pick up ultrasound photos. Once him and Type were situated inside the car, he stared at the photos and started crying. Type immediately started rubbing his back gently and shushing him lightly. "Hey, what's wrong? Do you need to go back in?" He asked frantically. Techno just shook his head. "N-no. I'm fine. I just can't believe that it's a boy. Since I found out I was pregnant I was wondering what I was having and how it'd impact mine and Kengkla's lives. And even now, being apart from him for only a week after being with him nearly everyday for months is torture. But I don't know if I can just forgive him. He fucked up royally by not just sitting down and talking with me about his feelings. Instead he waited until I was so drunk that I could barely even recognize him and took advantage of me. How do you do that to someone you supposedly love?" He asked, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Techno, hate to burst your bubble, but if he only cared about having sex with you he probably wouldn't have even stayed with you when you told him you were pregnant. He probably never would've taken responsibility and have you move in with him. God knows if this had happened with me and Tharn when we first had sex, guaranteed Tharn would've done the same thing as Kengkla. But after hearing everything he's done for you since you started dating him, I think he truly loves you. He's just emotionally constipated or something and just has a hard time admitting things." Type said, giving his full explanation of his viewpoint.
