Ayden and Anjelo stiffen at the sound of Taehyung's voice, slowly turning towards him. "Taehyung! My favorite brother of mine! How's it going?" Ayden questions as she looks at him, Taehyung's brow raising in response. "Hi and fine?" he responds as he looks at the two of them as the echo of Y/N's vomiting lingers down the hall. "Is she okay?" "Is who okay?" Ayden questions with a tilt of her head. Taehyung stares at her for a minute, his eyes squinting. "Y/N?" Ayden and Anjelo nod quickly, laughing lightly after. "She's-" Blegh! "Great.." Anjelo whispers faintly as a small wince lands across his features. "That doesn't sound like she's okay.. Is she sick?" "Well, dear brother of mine, if she was puking, which she is, wouldn't that count as being sick?" Ayden questions as she tilts her head. The brunette shoots his sister a pointed glare before responding. "You know exactly what I mean. Is it a stomach bug? A viral sickness and no, Anjelo, I don't mean that as a rhetorical question, seeing as how we're in an apocalypse!"
The other man raises his hands in a mock sign of surrender. "Well, I just-" "Okay, I don't know if I feel better after that or worse." Y/N states as she walks in, hand pressing against her head while the other rests along the wall. The others turn to look at her, noting how pale she looks. "Honey, come here and sit down. You look like you're just ready to collapse." Anjelo says softly as he practically runs over to her and guides her to a chair as Taehyung squats down in front of her, his hands resting against his knees. "Hey, darlin', how you feeling?" "My everything hurts.. My head is pounding like a freight train, my stomach keeps flipping, and the rest of my body just aches." Y/N announces as Taehyung continues to look up at her, watching her rubbing her eyes, then pinching the bridge of her nose and her tearducts. He continues to watch, his gaze turning into a small stare as his eyes rake over her frame, trying to find something out of the ordinary about her.
"Are you- Did you catch a stomach bug? Cause even though we're in the apocalypse, other sicknesses are still around." Taehyung states, making the other three look at him as if to give back a sarcastic remark. "Wow, you don't say." "Jeez, never would've thought of that." "Super thinking skills there, Tae." Taehyung's eyes turn into slits as he glares. "Well, the only way you can act all high and mighty is if you guys know the reason why she's sick!" "They do know!" Y/N's voice rings through the room, her hands gripping her thighs. "Okay?! So, do I get to know too, or do I get to be left alone on the dark?" Six eyes look back and forth at each other for a while, no one saying a word, as if they were fixing to decide to omit it. To omit the reason in nine months, a child would be here with no idea of how to care for it in this economy, with no health care of any sort besides basic first aid and expired food that everyone takes a chance on everyday.
"What's with you guys?! I swear, if I get left in the dark in all of this, I'm going to be-" "I'm pregnant." Y/N whispers, interrupting Taehyung and making his eyes cut solely to her. "..What?" Y/N nods wordlessly, her hair falling forward as she does so. "But the only way you can be that is if-" "Don't make me explain the bird's and the bee's to my older brother!" Ayden butts in, her tone trilling with intended laughter to lighten the situation but stops when it doesn't relieve any tension. "Sorry.." Taehyung scoffs at his sister before turning back to Y/N, his fingers lightly brushing against her shin. "Was it from when we-" Y/N nods, silently cutting him off mid-sentence. His eyes flicker as he thinks, too many questions and other thoughts pinging around in his head for him to keep track of them all. "Were you ever gonna tell me at all?" he whispers and nods slightly towards her stomach.
"I was.. I just-" Y/N sighs as one hand absentmindedly plays with the other hands' fingers, an anxiety tick that rears its head every now and then, "I swear I was, I just didn't know how to or how to go about it. Couldn't really blurt it out-" "Honey. We're in the middle of the apocalypse, nothing shocks me anymore." "That's a lie-" "Shut up, Ayden." Taehyung hisses before looking back to the other girl, "Nothing shocks me anymore, well, besides this, but I'm not going anywhere. And I will warn you, I'm absolutely terrified cause there's no doctors around and the only first aid I know goes only skin deep. But we got this. I'll kill a thousand walkers each day just to make sure that you all are safe." Y/N stares at him before throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. "I know and I believe you." Taehyung pulls back with a satisfied nod of his head, dedication in his tone, "So, what do we do now? Stay or go?"
"We move." Y/N states plainly as she looks around the room at the other three. "We move while I'm still able to a lot more freely than in some months. I'm still gonna help fight, I just remember that I have to be careful." she mumbles under her breath, not liking the fact that she's gonna have to be treated delicately instead of the badass woman she normally is. The quartet nod collectively as Taehyung puts his hand on her shoulder, lightly squeezing. "Just don't push too much and tire yourself out. You have a small one to worry about." And with that, they all began to pack up what they could fit in bags and start walking.
