Chapter 14: A Pair of Confessions
~5 weeks later~
Aphmau's POV
It's been five weeks.
Kaiya and Taiya are in school, both are high school Freshmen.
Garroth doesn't seem to be causing too much trouble.
Mom freaked out when she saw the girls.
Kaiya has started wearing hair over her eye because of the scar across it.
Taiya has grown to have a lot of sass, and attitude.
In general, things have been going surprising well.
Except, today I woke up feeling sick.
I rushed to the bathroom, and vomited in the toilet. I must have woken Aaron in my rush, because next thing I knew he was beside me.
"Whoa, is everything okay?" I heard Kaiya ask.
"Ew..." I heard Taiya mutter.
"Not sure... can one of you get some water?" Aaron asked.
"On it." Footsteps told me Kaiya had run off.
"Should I call a doctor?" Taiya asked.
"Call Daniel, his mom is a doctor." Aaron replied.
"Kay!" I heard Taiya run off.
"Shh... it's okay..." Aaron rubbed my back, as I finally stopped and leaned back. He rested his hand on my forehead.
"I don't think you have a fever..." he murmured. I nodded, feeling weak.
"Here." Kaiya came in, and left a cup of water by us. Her ears were flattened, and her tail waved worriedly.
"Is everything okay?" She asked.
"She doesn't have a fever... I'm not sure." Aaron replied. Kaiya's tail twitched.
"Aphmau... when was your last period?" Kaiya asked. Aaron turned red.
"Uh..." I blinked.
"I think I missed it..." I muttered.
"DOCTOR'S HERE!" Taiya yelled, running over with Daniel and his mother.
(I don't know his mother's name, so I'm gonna call her May)
"Oh dear..." May rushed over.
"Is Aphmau okay?" Daniel asked.
A few minutes later, May sighed.
"She doesn't have a fever, Aphmau have you had your period yet?" May asked.
"No." I replied.
"Hm... I'd recommend getting a pregnancy test then." She said. Aaron flushed a bright red. My face heated up.
"Figures." Taiya sighed.
"I can run to the drugstore." Kaiya offered.
"Sure, thanks Kaiya." Aaron replied. She ran off quickly.
Kaiya's POV
Figures, they weren't exactly quiet that one night.
I slipped on my purple sweater, and put my runners on, rushing out the door. The drugstore wasn't very far away thankfully.
"Hey Kaiya!" I saw Katelyn outside.
"Hi Katelyn." I waved, starting away.
"What's the rush?" Katelyn asked.
"Oh, Aphmau woke up sick this morning, Daniel's mother said to get a pregnancy test." I replied.
"WHOA, Aph might be pregnant?!" She exclaimed. I nodded, and ran off towards the drugstore.
Lucky me, bullies from school were there.
"Hey freak!" One of them called. I ignored them and started looking for tests.
"Hey! Don't ignore us!" I pushed Ken away as he tried to grab me.
"Not right now, I'm busy." I growled.
"So pup does have a bark." Wendy said. She was a werewolf.
"Busy with what?" Ken asked.
"Nothing that concerns you." I replied, finally finding the pregnancy tests. Thank Irene I always have some money on me. I grabbed a box with two of them. Wendy snatched them from right away.
"Pregnancy tests?" She laughed, "Why do you need these?"
"Because," I jumped up and snatched them back, "my mom might be pregnant." I pushed past her and went to pay.
"Oh yeah? You sure it's not you?" Ken asked.
"I'm not stupid enough to do that Ken." I retorted, smiling a thank you at the cashier and running out of the store with the tests.
Of course, Ken and Wendy followed me.
"This is your house? Dinky place for 4 people." Ken said.
"Hey look, you used your brain for once." I muttered, opening the door. I tried to leave them outside, but of course they were pushy and followed me in.
"Get out." I said.
"Nah, I wanna meet your parents." Wendy replied.
"TAIYA!" I yelled, "HELP ME GET KEN AND WENDY OUT OF THE HOUSE!" Taiya rushed over.
"Seriously? You followed her in? What the hell?" Taiya asked.
"Who's there?" Daniel came over.
"Just some kids from school. They followed me in, and we're trying to get them out." I replied.
"Is that your dad?" Ken asked. Taiya burst out laughing.
"Not even close!" She asked. Daniel snickered.
"No! My name is Daniel, I'm part of their dad's pack." Daniel said.
"Your dad is an Alpha?" Wendy asked.
"So?" I asked.
"What's going on?" Aaron poked out of the bathroom.
"Is that your dad?" Ken asked.
"Yes, now get out!" I opened the door for them.
"What about your mom?" Wendy crossed her arms stubbornly.
"Oh for Irene's sake! Get out! Nobody invited you in!" Taiya exclaimed, pushing them out.
"Can y'all shut up?!" Katelyn pushed past Aaron, out of the bathroom. "Aphmau can hear you."
"Oh shoot." Aaron went back in, and Katelyn came out.
"How about her?" Wendy asked. I groaned.
"No!"
"Then where is your mom?" Ken asked.
"Getting sick in the bathroom, now GET OUT!" Taiya shoved them away from the door, and I closed it.
"Who were they?" Katelyn asked.
"Kids from school." I sighed, going to the bathroom.
"I got the tests." I said, giving them to Aphmau.
"Thanks Kaiya." She replied weakly, setting them next to her.
"Okay everyone, give her some privacy to take the tests." Daniel's mom kicked us out, and we all sat on the couch in the living room, waiting.
Aaron's POV
Waiting for Aph to come out of the bathroom, I couldn't take the suspense.
What if she is pregnant?
Will it hurt?
How will Sylvanna react?
How are we going to deal with a third child?
Will we have to move away to make room?
What if it's a boy?
What if it's a girl?
What if it inherits the Ultima curse?!
"Aaron, stop panicking." Katelyn said.
"How do you know I'm panicking?" I asked.
"Your speaking out loud." Taiya stated. I flushed.
"Sorry..." I sighed.
"Don't worry Alpha! Everything will be okay!" Daniel smiled.
"Daniel is right, you'll be fine." May smiled, and ruffled her son's hair.
"I'm pretty sure if you can handle Taiya and I, you can handle a third kid." Kaiya said.
"Hey!" Taiya shoved her playfully, laughing.
Then we heard Aphmau scream.
I was the first one to reach the bathroom, followed by the twins and Katelyn, then Daniel and May.
"Aphmau!" I exclaimed, running over. She had her hand over her mouth, as tears streamed down her face. She was staring at the test, both of them.
"What's wrong?" I asked gently, grabbing her wrist. She stared at me wide-eyed, before holding up the tests.
They were both positive.
I grabbed them, a mix of emotions passing through me. Fear, sadness, but mostly happiness.
We were having a child, a real, biological child.
I pulled her into a tight hug.
"Your not upset?..." she asked.
"Nope!" I smiled, and I probably looked ridiculous.
"We're getting a little sister?" Taiya asked excitedly.
"Yes!" Kaiya cheered.
"That's great to hear." May smiled.
"Alpha and Aphmau are having a child! Wait until I tell the others about this!" Daniel ran off, I assumed to tell the rest of the pack.
"You had better help take care of this child Aaron." Katelyn threatened.
"Don't worry, I will." I replied, Aphmau giggled.
"You look silly when your smiling like that." She said.
"Your pregnant, and all you can think of to say is how silly I look?" I asked. She nodded, giggling still.
"You do look ridiculous." Taiya snickered. Kaiya shoved her lightly.
"I guess... well, I was going to wait to ask this..." I trailed off, suddenly nervous.
"I... well..." I reached in my pocket, sitting next to her, and took out the small box.
"Aphmau... I've been thinking a lot... and we've been together for a year now... and I've enjoyed every moment I have with you." I sighed, passing her the box. She glanced at me worriedly, and slowly opened the box.
I think Taiya is fangirling.
"Aphmau... would you... marry me?" I asked.
She gasped, and pulled out the ring, staring at it. I had been waiting to do this for a few weeks now.
I think Katelyn is fangirling too, and Kaiya.
3rd Person POV
"YES! OF COURSE, YES!" Aphmau wrapped her arms around Aaron, dropping the box and cuddling him. Aaron smiled even more then he already was, and hugged back.
"I'm out, this is too lovey-dovey." Katelyn said, walking away. Kaiya and Taiya on the other hand, were doing some kind of werewolf happy dance. Taiya found confetti somehow and threw it all over the bathroom.
"I'm so lucky to have met you." Aaron murmured, hugging his new fiance.
"Heh, of all the millions of men in the world, Irene gave me you." Aphmau replied, snuggling up to him. Aaron laughed.
"OH SHOOT!" Kaiya exclaimed suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Aaron asked.
"We're late for school."
