Lost not Broken

Chapter 15

Keith's POV

"Hey Keith?" Lance called. I looked up from my phone. "In the kitchen!" I heard his footsteps as he walked down the hall. "Do you know where Pidge is?" My friend frowned, sitting next to me at the island. "Uhh..." I had to think about that for a second. "...hhhhhhhh YES! Yeah earlier this morning she kinda stumble-crawled to m- Storm's room, in a lot of pain. Storm took her to med bay, told me to tell you to stay out." I replied. "WHAT?! Why?! What happened?! I need to-" "No, Lance. You need to stay here." I stood up. "But-" "Look, I get you're worried, okay? But you need to give them a moment, especially if you don't want anyone else knowing you're in a relationship. Besides, she's probably just got a bug. We've been in space for so long with no viruses or anything our immune systems most likely aren't as strong as they used to be." I said. He looked at me, seeming like he was thinking about what I said. "Fine. I'll wait." He sighed, going to sit down.

Suddenly, an unholy screaming filled the castle followed by a really, REALLY ticked off voice.

"ARE YOU QUIZNACKING SERIOUS?!"

"I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG!" Lance spun around so fast he knocked over a chair, falling over himself. Scrabbling to his feet, he ran down the hall. I chased after him, tripping over Shiro's foot. I landed flat on my face, biting my lip, hard. "What on earth is going on?!" He said. "Lance-" I coughed, getting up and running again. "WAIT! KEITH!" I dodged Allura and Coran as they joined in the chase. The door to the med bay was about to lock. Before it could I dove forwards on my stomach, sliding into the room just as it shut and locked behind me. There was loud banging outside, along with Shiro's angry voice. Gasping for air, I rolled onto my back, eventually standing up. "Lance look what you've done!" I growled, gesturing to the door. "But Pidge-" "I'm fine!" Pidge snapped. "I TOLD you not to scream!" Storm groaned, face-palming. "Well, I'm SORRY if I had a NORMAL REACTION!" The small paladin retorted. I walked over to the group. Pidge was sitting on the examination table, angrily glaring at Storm. "That wasn't normal! That was extreme!" The Meif'Wa retorted, ears back and tail twitching. "How would you react?!" Pidge bickered. "Oh, I don't know, maybe by PUNCHING MY MATE IN THE FACE?!" Storm shouted. "YOU CALL THAT NORMAL?!" Pidge screeched. "BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!" I yelled. The two fell silent. "Dude what the heck why is your lip bleeding?" Storm frowned. "I tripped. Over Shiro. Because Lance FREAKED OUT." I snapped. "I'm SO SORRY." Lance rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Can someone please just explain what happened? The whole castle is in a panic and I'm pretty sure that if we don't hurry up Shiro'll break his way in." I sighed heavily. Storm looked at Pidge, who's angry glare was replaced with anxiety. "You can tell them." Her voice was quiet. "Pidge came to me this morning asking if I could talk to her. We came here, and I ran a few tests per Pidge's request. She said that she thought she knew why she had been sick recently, and, turns out, she was right." My friend explained. There was an awkward silence. "Well?" I asked, crossing my arms. Pidge looked down, avoiding our eyes. "I'm pregnant."
