"Shit!" I muttered looking down at the double pink lines. This can't be happening. I've been getting sick for the past month and the doctor said that I wasn't sick and told me to take a home pregnancy test, since I am part of a rare group of males that can get pregnant. And would you look at that I am.

The pink lines staring me down. I'm going to be a daddy. Oh my god what is Liam going to say? What is he going to do?

"Z? Are you okay?" I heard my boyfriend of almost three years ask.

"Y-yeah.. I'm fine." I said wiping my eyes.

"I'm coming in okay?" He asks again through the door. I quickly hide the test behind my back as he walked in. "Why are you crying?"

I sniffed, "I.. I uh.. Um..." I stammered. I moved the test down to my side.

"What's that?" He points to the box on the bathroom counter.

"A.. uh.. pregnancy test.." I told him truthfully.

"Why do you have that? Guys can't get pregnant." He laughed.

"I can." I softly spoke, looking down at my hands. "You see, I'm part of a small population of males, that were born with both male and female parts.."

"You.. What?" He questions.

"I can get pregnant.. I am pregnant." I tell him finally looking up and showing him the test.

"You're pregnant? Well... okay. I'm just gonna walk out here and uh.. try and wrap my head around this.. Yeah.." He said walking out the bathroom door. When I was alone I sank down to the ground crying. My boyfriend thinks I'm a freak and I can't do anything to change his mind.

XxX

"Liam..?" I call out walking in our shared room. He was sitting on the bed, his feet hanging over the side his hands in his lap.

"Yeah." He answered still looking at his hands. I moved to sit next to him,with my feet under my bum.

"Are you okay?" I mutter. Telling him I can get pregnant and that I am in the same day wasn't even planned.

"I'm as good as you can be when your boyfriend tells you he can get pregnant." He answered.

"So I'm still your boyfriend?" I lean forward a bit. Trying to get a good read on his face.

"Yes. Of course. I'm just shocked is all. You tell me you can get pregnant.. That you are pregnant.. I just.. don't know how to respond."

I nod looking down at my hands. I was still holding the test. All I need right now is a hug and some reassurance, he probably does too. So that's what I did. I hugged him. "I know. I wasn't planning on telling you I could get pregnant til later. When I thought we were ready. This is a lot to take in and I'm sorry I just spilled everything like that." He held me tight as I apologized.

"I'm sorry too. I'm just a bit overwhelmed 's all." He spoke softly. I stopped hugging him and leant my head on his shoulder. "I'm happy, you know. I mean now we can have kids of our own.. We are having a kid of our own I guess.."

I nodded again as I listened to what he had to say. "Now that I've thought about it. I'm happy. I love you and I love what we do. I really do. But you kept that from me. Why?" He asked. I kept my head on his shoulder.

"I thought that you would think I was a freak. I'm a guy that can get pregnant, it's weird, it's freaky. I didn't think you needed to know because I thought we wouldn't be ready for kids with the life style we chose." Truthfully I spilled, and now realized how stupid I was being.
