GUN'S POV
Tay and New decided to accompany me to Omega OBGYN. I was afraid they would try to talk me out of it, but they left the decision entirely up to me. We stand in silence outside the clinic. My thoughts are tearing me apart. It's been barely 13 days, yet I feel like something is growing inside me. But my social situation isn't exactly favorable. What if the baby suffers because of me? I have no money, I didn't finish school, and I have no one to rely on.
Absentmindedly, I placed my hand on my still-flat stomach. Pregnancy is always tough, especially for an unmarried omega. I've heard that in the USA, omegas aren't judged as harshly as they are here. I thought for a few minutes and then looked at the two beside me. My closest friends betrayed me; I shouldn't trust anyone. So why do I feel safe with these two, even though I've known them for barely two days? I desperately need someone to tell me what to do.
KRIST'S POV
I don't know his story yet. He hasn't confided in us, but I suspect someone close to him brutally betrayed his trust, just like what happened to me and New. This morning, he announced he was going to the clinic, and we offered to accompany him. We don't plan to sway his decision; I just feel he needs someone's support. Even though he tries to look grim, he's just as scared a teenager as we are. Like me, he had to grow up quickly and doesn't want to be alone in this situation.
We stand outside the clinic, and Gun places his hand on his stomach, thinking for a moment. I believe several scenarios are running through his mind. He looks at me, and I see tears forming, but he bravely holds them back. I was thinking of what to say when, surprisingly, New spoke up.
"Gun, the final decision is yours. I know you don't know us well, and it's hard to open up to new people, but if you want, the three of us can handle this together, and we'll always be here for each other." I was surprised that New, who was crying just yesterday, managed to say something so sensible, but he was right.
Gun looked at us for a moment, then smiled for the first time since I've known him and shook his head. "No, New, you're wrong. We'll handle this with all six of us."
We smiled at each other and headed back to the Airbnb to find the next flight to the USA.
