Can't Say... (A Pentatonix FanFiction)

Chapter 11

DOUBLE IN HONOUR OF BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY ROYALTIES!!!
-------------------------------
Tour had finished smoothly, business-wise, not personal-wise. Everyone was still mad at Avi and sympathetic towards Kevin. Scott was still trying to apologize to Avi for his little outburst on the bus but Avi was having none of it. They had all gone to their homes and Avi was laying in his bed rubbing his now quite visible baby belly. He was now 1 month and a few days and he was glad to back in the comfort of his own home. Things between him and Kevin hadn't been getting better though, Kevin was avoiding him more often and the more time passed, the more he seemed to hate Avi.

Right now. He was laying on his side rubbing his stomach trying to calm the slight pains he was feeling but he didn't think too much of it, he had a minor headache too but was OK apart from that. Maybe some sleep would do him good. He began to drift off, even though it was only 6 pm, pregnant people need their rest. His eyes almost closed but the pain came back again, this time sharper and more prominent, this scared him very much.

"'re scaring me, dammit."

He was becoming slightly restless and clutched his belly tighter, taking some deep breaths, the pain went away for a little while... then it came back with a strong vengeance, causing Avi to do the one thing he could do. Scream.

Kevin was only downstairs in the kitchen when he heard the ear deafening scream, causing him to drop what he was doing, literally, he dropped the pan he was using causing a loud metal to clang against the stove.

"Kevin!!! KEVIN!!!!"

He ended up dashing upstairs towards the sound of distress towards his boyfriend's bedroom before bolting in through the door.

Avi was sweating, crying and clutching his stomach.

"What happened?"

"pain... so much... somethings wrong..." 

"Ok, come here."

He went over to him and helped him up, there was a blood patch on the bed. He was bleeding. He grabbed an over-sized jacket for the smaller, hyperventilating man in his arms. They walked to his car and Kevin pulled out the driveway, Avi next to him in the front, still hyperventilating.

"Just breathe, you'll be ok."

"And the baby!?"

Kevin was silent. He had to drag Avi to the car before sitting him down in the passenger seat and taking off on the highway. He was going quite fast, to say the least, but that didn't matter, his boyfriend was in pain and he needed help fast, Avi was still hyperventilating.

Halfway through the drive, Avi spoke up again.

"Is this normal? This is normal for a pregnant male right?? Right?! Right?!?! KEVIN!!"

"No it is not normal for any pregnancy regardless of gender and would you stop screaming and worrying. You're killing yourself and the baby."

He pulled up in front of the hospital and helped Avi out, he had bled through the blanket and there was blood all over the seat.

"kevin... this is bad...i-"

He collapsed in Kevin's arms. The older man picked up the smaller boy and carried him into the building.

"Can I get some help, please?"

A nurse came rushing over and took the bearded man out of his arms and rushed him into the maternity ward.

"Sir, you'll have to stay behind here."

"i want him there."

"It's fine, Avi, I'll just be out here."

Kevin watched them connect his boyfriend to machines and IV fluids, tubes sticking in and out of him in many ways you could imagine. He wasn't focused on that though, he was looking at the figure laying on the bed. He was squirming around trying to calm his pains doctors were having to hold him down to get him settled. He had calmed over time and Kevin was glad to see that, a doctor stepped out the room.

"Avi Kaplan?"

He stood.

"name sounds familiar..."

"Is he ok?"

"There was some substantial bleeding that we had to take care of but it's ok because he's ok and so is the baby."

Kevin was glad to hear that his boyfriend was ok.

"The bleeding was the cause of over piling stress and worry and negativity and that had an effect on him and the baby but they'll be ok just as long as he takes it easy and doesn't overwork his body too much. He shouldn't be standing for too long or laying on his back really as you know. But he should be either sat or laying down whenever he can."

"He sleeps before performances but that's only because he needs his voice to be as low as it can be when he gets up."

"Performances? Ohh... You're that A Capella group my daughter obsesses over...Pentatonix right?"

Kevin laughed.

"Yes, ma'am."

"She'll freak when she finds out that I saw you guys."

"Well... you can tell her Kevin says 'hi'."

"I will..."

She wrote something down

"But apart from that, they should both be aok! You can visit him if you want."

She walked off and Kevin went inside. Avi was laying in the bed staring into space. He looked so far away, he wasn't there yet he was. Kevin went to sit by his bedside. Avi looked but turned away again letting out a long sigh.

"why are you in here?"

"i wanted to check in on my boyfriend. is that too much to ask?"

"i mean, you've been accusing me of cheating on you when i didn't do anything to you."

"how did this baby come about then? hmm? what happened??"

"i don't know kevin. i just know that it isn't yours."

"that's what's upsetting me, you know when this happened and you know where this happened eas to say that you do know where this baby came from and you expect me to wait around for you to find the magical source that got you pregnant."

"i always wait for you! no matter what it is, i am always there when you're done and i wait for you no matter what. but you can't even give me a chance to figure this out."

They were silent or a while. Neither said a word.

"kevin... right now, i can't deal with you... i wanna be on my own... just... leave me be... go back home."

He hesitated before standing and making his way towards the door before looking the bearded man directly in the eye.

"if i leave... i'm not coming for you tomorrow."

And he didn't. Avi had to call Esther to come and get him, which also meant having to explain the whole stress situation to her and also trying to get her to stop getting so mad every four seconds.

This was a stressful experience for both parties in the romantic relationship and all honestly, Avi more than Kevin. He wants nothing more than to tell his boyfriend the events of what happened there in that bathroom stall in the night club. He wants things to go back to normal between him and everyone else even though he knows they won't. But he can't tell Kevin, or the Trio, or Esther or anyone.

He can't say.
