I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 89: Visitors

Visitors

Killua chewed on the inside of his lower lip as he sat on the sofa, desperately trying to ignore the awkward air surrounding them. He could feel Illumi’s eyes on him, not once averting his gaze as he quietly sipped his tea; it was so uncomfortable. His mother had apparently wanted to come visit to discuss his baby shower, which really just sounded like an excuse to corner him in his own home.

They also always seemed to know when Gon wasn’t home, and Killua was starting to suspect that they might be doing it on purpose. Gon was the only one that was any real threat to them at the moment, since Killua was unwilling to recharge whilst he was so far into his pregnancy. He wasn’t sure whether or not the electricity would actually harm his pups, but he’d rather not take that chance to find out, even if it did put him in a bit of danger at times like these. He wasn’t too worried, though.

The last time they came over for a visit, Gon wasn’t home either. Killua shudders at the memory of what had happened the last time they had just showed up here. He really didn’t feel like arguing. He briefly entertains the idea that they had rigged his house with cameras to keep him under surveillance, but quickly brushed the idea aside. They wouldn’t do that, would they? What has even happened since the last time they were here? Not all that much, just that one time he had bathed with Denki and Touya, not to mention all of Denki’s drama beforehand, and that time Izuku and his mates…

He made a mental note to check the house once they left. This would explain why Illumi was staring at him so intently, and why Milluki seemed so uncomfortable. Oh god, what was his father thinking of him right now? And Kalluto? And his grandfather?! Killua raked a hand through his fluffy hair, trying to prevent himself from panicking outright.

“Kill,” Silva called.
“Huh?” Killua asked unintelligently as he looked up at his father, hair mussed and slightly more wild than usual.
“Do you feel unwell? You’re very pale,” Silva pointed out before he sipped at his own cup.

Killua blinked in surprise before he shook his head. “I’m okay,” he replied, voice quiet.
Silva watched him a moment longer before he nodded. “Good, I’d much prefer it if you didn’t lose consciousness again like the last time. I’d really rather not flee for my life if your mate saw your unconscious in my arms again,” he stated, voice laced with amusement.

Killua sweat dropped. The fact that Gon had even been calm the last time was nothing short of a miracle, really. His love was very wary of his family. “Right,” he muttered.
“Now, Kill, have you decided on a date, yet?” Kikyo asked, an eager smile on her lips.
Killua shook his head, weren’t these things supposed to be a surprise or something? Whatever, he’ll just let Alluka arrange everything again.

“Hmn, when is your due date again?” She asked curiously.
Killua tilted his head back to glance at the ceiling in thought. “Ehh,” he trailed off, “February, I think,”
Kikyo smiled brightly as she nodded. “Alright, then it’s probably best to do it a few months beforehand, then,”

Killua tilted his head to the side. “Why a few months? Can’t we just do it a few weeks before?” He inquired.
“That simply won’t do, Kill,” Kikyo stated, “You’re carrying twins, and twins rarely are carried full term. You could go into labour at any moment, don’t forget. It’s best to do it sooner,”

Killua sighed, rubbing at his eyes with his middle finger and thumb.
“Nah,” Dabi drawled as he walked into the room, handing Killua a mug of hot chocolate; he could smell the increasing irritation and frustration on the omega. “I’d say you should throw it just after new year’s, then it’s not too late, and not too early, either,”

Killua shot a look of gratitude to the young alpha as Dabi slumped into the seat beside him.
“Your opinion doesn’t matter,” Kikyo spat, spine straight as she sneered at the intruding alpha.
Killua frowned, he did not like where this was going.
Dabi snorted. “I’m one of Killua and Gon’s pups, adopted, but still theirs, so I think my opinion matters more than yours does,”
