Back at One (Slow Update)

7.

A month has passed after the surprise honeymoon and the two are back working.

Kana is currently in a meeting and he seemed distracted. His best friend is observing him.

After the meeting, Mild decided to know what was happening to him.

"Mild, do I have another meeting?" Kana asked while walking towards his office.

Not getting any response, he turned around only to find Mild looking at him intently.

"Mi- Why?" Kana asked confused.

Mild walks to him and put his palms on the desk and leans forward.

"Spill," he demanded.

Kana was taken aback a little before composing himself. He is his best friend indeed for noticing that something is going on with him.

Sighing, "I..." and so, Kana told him what was on his mind.

"You what?!" Mild exclaimed.

"Shhh! Lower your voice!" Kana whisper yelled.

"What the fuck?! I thought you already changed your mind. Why did you still go on with it?" he asked.

Kana's face contorted different emotions.

"I... I just wanted to make things right," he said sadly.

Mild is looking at him with sympathy.

"Is you being happy with him and vice versa not right?" Mild asked.

"It's more than right but, our union isn't right. He was forced into this marriage," Kana said.

"I get you. But, let me ask you this. Isn't it right to be with the one you love and who loves you back? Yes, your marriage was like that but, it wasn't a loveless marriage at all," Mild said trying to make a point.

He grabs Kana's hand and continues, "Look, you love him that's why you married him. Mew on the other hand loves you as well-

"But-

"Let me finish. As I was saying, Mew loves you. He did tell you that, remember? He loves you since long before. So, it wasn't a loveless marriage. Maybe just a little you know... Because of how it happens. But I think, there's no need to void your marriage, and I believe that what's made you two more married to each other is the love you have for one another. So, why divorce?" Mild finished, hoping his friend got his point.

"I guess you are right," Kana said after a moment.

Mild pats Kana's hand. "So, you better call your lawyer to tear those papers before it reaches your home,"

Kana nodded and picked up his phone.

"Not answering?" Mild asked.

"Mn," Kana hummed and tried again.

Still not answered. "Oh, I remember, he has a hearing today. I'll just message him," Kana said.

Mild nodded and was about to leave...

"I don't have any meetings left, right?" he asked.

"Yes. Only these papers. Why?" Mild said.

"Can you accompany me to my regular check-up?" Kana asked and Mild agreed right away.

When the two arrived, the nurse told them to get inside as the doctor is already waiting. They greeted him formally before the doctor asked him some questions and runs some tests.

After some time, the doctor checks the results. He glances at Kana from time to time making him and Mild a little nervous.

"Uhm, is there something wrong with my results?" Kana asked fidgeting.

"Yeah, doc. Is my friend sick again?" Mild followed up.

The doctor chuckled, "Not really, but Kana, can I ask you something?"

Kana rubs his palms on his kneecaps and nodded. The doctor put down the files on the table.

"First, tell me, do you feel kind of sick lately?" the doctor asked.

Kana wets his lips, "Uhm, yes. I... Sometimes I get easily tired and emotional for no reason. I wanted to consult that too," he admitted.

The doctor nodded, "You see, earlier when I checked your heartbeat, I saw some irregularity," Mild gasped hearing it while Kana gulped in nervousness.

"Irregularity... Does it mean, my heart illness came back?" he asked. His eyes are misty already.

"Oh, don't worry. It's just that you have two heartbeats," the doctor said smiling.

The two sighed in relief. "Oh gosh, doc, you scared the shit-

Mild stopped what he was saying. His head is snapping back and forth from the doctor that is smiling at Kana who looked shocked.

"You guys get what I mean, right?" the doctor asked teasingly.

"Does... Does it mean...My friend is.." Mild trailed off.

The doctor nodded making Mild gasp and turned to his stunned friend.

"Gawd! Kana, did you hear that?!" he excitedly said shaking Kana's cold hands.

"I... He... We..." Kana can't form proper words.

"Hey, bud, calm down. Breathe with me, hm?" Mild said calming him.

"Relax, Kana. Everything is fine. Your heart is healthy. I know you're worrying that your baby might inherit your illness," The doctor said.

"But, Doc isn't it hereditary," Kana asked.

"There's a chance, but we have more advanced technology to check your baby when it's born. For now, I want you to focus on keeping your body well nourished for both your and your baby's sake. I already referred you to the best OB-GYN and next week is your check-up," the doctor said.

Somehow, Kana was relieved. He will do everything he can to keep his growing unborn baby safe and healthy. Now, he needs to tell his husband the good news.

In the car, Kana's phone vibrated. It was a text from his lawyer saying he was sorry for not being able to pick up the call earlier. But what he read next made him pale.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Mild asked noticing it.

"I need to hurry home before Mew," he said then turned to his driver and told him to drive fast.

"Why? What happened?" Mild asked.

"The papers," with just that, Mild understood.

"Oh, shit," Mild cursed.

After almost two hours, they finally arrived. Kana told the driver to send Mild home. Mild refused but Kana told him he can take care of it and since they didn't see Mew's car, he agreed.

Kana hurriedly went inside to look for it. He's sure that before their helpers left, the papers arrived already and were brought inside. He's panicking inside because he can't find it on the mail holder.

"Where is it? He said he already sent it," he mumbled.

He tried to breathe to calm himself...

"Oh, you're back," but he froze hearing Mew's voice.

He slowly turned around and acted normal but...

"You're still divorcing me, huh?"

Finally!

Sorry for the errors!
