Cruel World (NAJ pj x fresh/paperfresh)

Chapter 28

Meow!

Fresh POV

I bit my tongue to not scream. The test read positive, I can't deal with this! I teleported the test back to my nightstand and went downstairs, trying to get rid of worry. Cooking food made me a little more nauseous but I dealt with it and made omelets. I could deal with this, maybe.

Time overview/skip

Fresh POV still

Nothing had really happened over the next couple of weeks, other than Bunny trying to attach herself to PJ. But he denied her and she hasn't really bothered us since. But I still grew sick, trying not to show my emotions. It has nearly been a month since I took the test, and I had decided to tell Silverion and Lapis. I invited them over and got straight into business.

"So, um," I paused, I had never actually realized how hard this would be. "I've got something to show you," I teleported down my test and threw it at Silverion.

"Get out of frickin' town!" Silverion squeaked. I just shrugged, I didn't know how to exactly respond.

"You and PJ must be so happy!" Lapis grew excited, which was rare.

"Actually," I scratched the back of my head and chuckled nervously, "he doesn't know," Silverion and Lapis just stared at me for a moment, shocked.

"BOI!!!" Silverion shouted. I couldn't really respond, Silverion just sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "We'll pay your rent, you don't need the extra stress."

"A-Are you sure?" I was starting to grow worried.

"We have pretty much infinite money, we can spare a little. You need less stress, so you aren't allowed to be on the field unless it's an emergency or you birth the kid, okay?" Silverion was ordering not asking. I just nodded and Silverion was carefree again. "And when are we gonna have the baby shower?"

I chuckled, "I've only been pregnant for a month, slow your roll," Silverion giggled.

"You better tell him before you give birth!" Silverion teased as she started to walk out the door with Lapis.

"Pfft!" I laughed, "Get a move on!" Silverion chuckled as they went out the door.

"Fresh?" A voice sounded behind me on the stairs. I turned around and was met with Cray's slightly teary eyes.

"Bro! I-I-" I was cut off by Cray running up to me and hugging me.

"I'm so happy for you!" Cray was crying a little, but I assumed from happiness. "You could've told me! I would've helped more around the house!"

"Didn't want you to worry, now get off me so I can make dinner!" I joked and playfully pushed Cray off. Cray followed me into the kitchen as I grabbed spaghetti noodles for pasta, "What's up bro?"

"I'm gonna help you!" Cray proclaimed as he got out two pots.

I chuckled, "Okay, okay," We made enough for leftovers and we dug in.

"How long ago did you find out?" Cray asked as he noisily slurped up a stray noodle.

"I was suspecting for the first couple of days after the invasion, after Jasper went crazy I took the actual test," I explained as I finished up my serving and went for another.

"That's why you've actually been treating yourself!" Cray looked like he had uncovered a great case.

"That and Jasper and Suave were here, didn't want them to worry," I sat back in my chair as I finished off what I had grabbed. I burped slightly and started to clean up. "You done?"

"Yep, and now I must help you!" Cray got up and washed his plate. I laughed and put the extra pasta and sauce in separate containers. I started to wash the pans but Cray turned off the water. "Nu-uh."

"Uh? What's up?" I was confused and moved to turn on the water again.

"You aren't doing that," Cray grabbed my wrist and twisted the pan out of my hand. "I am though, you go rest."

I sighed and laughed a little, "Fine bro, call me if you need me!" I walked up the stairs and dropped onto my bed, falling asleep instantly.

Time skip/overview

It had been 8 weeks since I had taken the test, and I was going in for an ultrasonic. At home Cray was constantly worrying and tried to help me out as much as possible, it was thoughtful but annoying sometimes. I sighed as I walked into the hospital, wearing a pretty baggy shirt. I smiled as I went up to the receptionist.

"I was scheduled for an ultrasonic, name's Fresh," I smiled at the nervous girl.

"Oh, here you are!" She tapped a few keys, "Room 100, Dr. Cashmere will be there soon," I smiled and searched the hall, finally coming up on Room 100. I sat down on the chair next to the bed as I waited for Cashmere.

"Hello! Please lay down on the bed and-" Cashmere paused as he realized who I was. "You come to the hospital too much."

I giggled, "Bad luck," I joked as I laid down on the hospital bed.

Cashmere took over a machine and pick up two things that kinda looked like defibrillators. "I will put this on your stomach, it will feel cold but it'll be over soon," I just nodded and waited for him to do his thing. I jumped slightly at the cold but waited as he turned on the machine, it hummed as it worked. Once it was done Cashmere looked at the results and furrowed his brow, "I'll be right back, need to check on something," I just nodded as he walked out of the room. I tried not to worry as he came back in, "Your baby's vitals are healthy," I let out a breath that I hadn't known I had been holding. "Both of them are," I paused as I processed what he said.

"TWINS?!?!" I tried to be a little quiet but my voice was still pretty loud and I squeaked. Cashmere smiled as I regained my composure, "Can I see them?" Cashmere chuckled a little and turned a monitor screen towards me. I gasped as I saw two little humanoid figures imprinted through the gray, black, and white. They weren't in much detail, but they were still perfect. "Can I have a copy of this?"

"Of course, first time?" Cashmere laughed softly as he printed out the image.

"Yea," I whispered as Cashmere handed me a printout. I smiled at the photo and teleported it home onto my bed, "Thank you Dr. Cashmere!" I giggled as I got up and skipped out of the room.

"No problem!" Cashmere called as the door shut. I was so happy the whole way home, I had twins!

This was fun to write! Granted I had a writer's block halfway through, but we'll just ignore that 5-hour writer's block. It was once again kinda just a fun chapter, minus the whole twin thing. Anyways, this loving cool cat's gone!
