The Five Demigods

Twenty-Seven

Scott felt absolutely miserable.

It was like everything got worse once he learned he was pregnant.

God, it was still weird to think about; Him being pregnant.

Lets not forget the baby's father is being held hostage by the enemy.

Or the fact that he doesn't even know about his own daughter, though that wasn't his fault

Daughter...

"Scott!" Avi said.

"What?" He snapped.

"You okay? You've been astonishingly quiet."

"That's a big word." Scott snorted. "Didn't know you had a brain."

Avi glared and took a step forward, only to be stopped by Kevin putting a hand to his chest.

"Stop it. You can't get into a fight with him. Not now." Kevin said, looking Avi dead in the eyes.

"Then he needs to shut his mouth."

Kevin grabbed Avi's arm and pulled him aside.

"Do you not remember the bombshell that was dropped on him just a few hours ago?"

"That doesn't give him the right to be a complete and total dickhead!"

"How would you feel if you found out you were pregnant, and because of that, you had monsters and creatures and crazies coming after you? And the fact that the father of your child has no idea it even exists and is currently in the hands of the enemy, with god knows what happening to him?"

Avi shut his mouth. Not because he didn't have a comeback, but because he didn't want to argue with anyone.

"Fine." He said and walked away.

Kevin turned to Scott. "You alright?"

"I'll be fine." Scott said, looking at the ground.

"Come on. You can't hold it all in. You'll stress yourself out and you don't need to do that."

Scott looked at him for several seconds before he sighed. "I'm just really worried about Mitch."

"We all are, Scott. But we'll get him back. He's smart. He'll keep himself alive. But you don't need to be stressing."

Scott looked at the ground. He kinda wanted to cry right now.

Kevin sighed and rubbed Scott's back. "Its gonna work out, I promise."

Scott nodded, but once he felt Kevin's arms around him he broke.

She walked up and smacked him. Right in the face.

"Are you SERIOUS?!"  Kirstie growled. She was pissed.

Avi cheek was on fire. "He started it!"

"What are you, a 7 year old?! Grow up!" She smacked his temple. "He is pregnant. He is growing a human life. You two fighting is the the last thing he needs on top of everything else. Stop acting like a child."

"If he would shut his mouth, we'd be fine."

"I don't care!"

Avi grit his teeth and looked at her. "I'm sorry." He said.

"Sorry for disobeying what I said? Or for trying to start a fight?"

"Can't sorry just be enough?"
