(Megan POV)

I walked downstairs in silence with a glum expression plastered on my face. Gladion stayed next to me and hadn't spoken a word since I jolted awake this morning. He seemed equally miserable. Neither of us really slept last night. I kept waking up screaming from nightmares of my time as Lusamine's 'slave', while Gladion stayed awake because he was too worried about me to even close his eyes.

I opened the door to the dining room, only to find Lillie, Hau, Ashley and Emilee already sitting at the table. Hau had been staying over a lot these past few weeks due to Lillie losing sleep from worrying. It showed too, as dark circles were starting to become noticeable under both their eyes. Hau even had his hair down, which fell over and almost covered his entire face. Ashe sat in silence as she spoon fed Emi, who sat quieter than ever on her mother's lap. She obviously hadn't been sleeping, as the bags under her eyes were so much more noticeable. And her hair was greasy and stuck out in different directions, which told me she hadn't showered in awhile. One thing was for certain. All of us were complete wrecks.

'Morning...' I muttered in a monotonous voice, sitting down in the spare seat next to Hau. Gladion sat across from me.

'Morning.' Hau replied, no longer sounding like his bright and cheerful self.

'Did you guys sleep well?' Lillie asked, her tone barely above a whisper as she stared at her plate of pancakes.

'We didn't sleep at all.' Gladion replied bluntly.

'Why not?' Ashe chimed in as she stared at him with no emotion.

'Megan had another episode which kept both of us awake...' Gladion added, his voice sounded unintentionally accusing.

'I see.' Lillie sighed with a frown.

'It's not like we can say much different.' Hau scoffed 'We didn't really sleep either.'

'I'm sorry to hear that.' I murmured while poking my plate of pancakes with my fork.

The rest of the time we were silent. But I didn't mind, because I had nothing to say to them anyway. That is, until I felt the same sickness in my stomach as I did last night. I gagged, dropping my fork onto my plate as I covered my mouth. This got everyone's attention, and they stared at me with a tad of curiosity.

'Excuse me.' I managed to choke out as I pushed myself away from the table and stumbled out, hoping to come across a trash can or, better, an actual bathroom. I felt everyone's stare at me as l left. But I didn't care.

(Lillie POV)

'What's up with her?' Hau asked, sounding genuinely confused.

'She's been having nasty throwing up sessions, so my guess it's happening again.' Gladion replied as he stared at the now open door, seeming to be debating on whether to follow the girl or not. He then turned to me, eyes glinting with the slightest of concern. 'Can you follow her, Lillie? You might know what's up with her.'

I hesitated for a moment, before nodding and rising from the table. I speed walked out of the room and looked around to find my friend, only to hear faint gagging coming from the kitchen 'there she is...' I thought. I pushed open the cracked door, my eyes landing on Megan's crouched figure as she spilled her guts into the trash can.

'Hi, Meg.' I breathed with concern.

'Hi. Come to join the' -She coughed- 'Vomit party?'

'Do you... always sound so sarcastic whenever you're spilling your guts?' I raised an eyebrow.

Another Burst of sick left her mouth 'Can you blame me for wanting to lighten the mood? I'm dying over here!'

I scrunched up my nose. Poor girl. I made my way over to her and began soothingly rubbing her back. This lasted for two minutes before she finished, and hung her head back with a groan.

'Pleasant...' she grimaced.

'How long has this been going on?' I asked.

'A week...' she grumbled 'I hoped it was a one time thing but... you saw the answer to that.' she pointed to the trash can and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

'Indeed...' I crouched in front of her 'Has anything else been happening?'

'Apart from food cravings? No.'

I blinked slightly, before going deep into thought. She couldn't be, can she? There's no way.

'Lillie? You still alive in there?'

'Hmm? What?' I asked as soon as I snapped out of my thoughts.

'You just spaced out suddenly after I said 'food cravings'.' Megan stated, giving me a thoughtful pout.

'Oh, sorry. Just... I may have a theory on why this happened.'

'...Go on?'

I paused, before shaking my head 'Nah, it's stupid.'

'Come on~' Megan dragged as she began tickling my sides 'Tell me~'

'Ah! No! Sto-ah! Stop it!' I laughed, attempting to grabbed her hands. 'Okay fine haha! I'll tell you just- Ah! Please stop!'

'Good girl.' Megan grinned, gently patting the top of my head. I pouted, but proceeded to speak my mind.

'W-Well... it's a theory, but I'm not sure what to think of it. What if... these are signs of...'

'... Of what?'

'What if you're pregnant?"

Megan stared at me blankly, her eyes scanning my features for any sign of insincerity. 'Come on Lillie be serious.'

'I am. Think about it. The vomit. The food. Weren't you set to come on?'

'Well yeah, but for some reason it's late this month. I checked this morning and no blood.'

'What about the sex? Did you guys use protection?'

'How did you-'

'I have my ways. Anyway answer the question. Did you use protection?'

'No we-.... Oh quiznack...'

Megan covered her mouth and stared forward, panic clear in her face 'Oh sh*t. Oh no... Nope, there's no way! I can't be!'

'Megan calm do-'

'No! I cannot be pregnant! I'll be a sh*t mom!'

'Like I said it's a theory. You aren't definitely pregnant.'

'........... I need a pregnancy test... Now!'

(Timeskip - Megan POV)

I paced around the bathroom, head in my hands as the pregnancy test sat on the sink. It was almost time. Lillie, Ashe and Rose sat on the edge of the bathtub, staring at me with concern.

'What if I am pregnant?! What's gonna happen? What if I can't fulfil my duties as vice-president? What if the baby's unhealthy? What if I'm not ready to be a mother? What if-... What if Gladion doesn't want a child? Will he even love me anymore?! Will he abandon me and the baby?!'

'Okay, that's enough!' Ashe scolded, standing up and grabbing my arms 'Gladion will never abandon you! He loves you, he has done since he met the real you! That's not gonna change over a little shrimp growing inside your belly.'

'Ashley's right!' Lillie chimed in 'If anything, my brother will love you more because of that! He's wanted a child ever since he was one.'

My eyes met her emerald ones for a moment, and a spark of relief went through me for a split second. However, it didn't last long 'How do you know he still wants that? Even if he does... will he want that with me?'

'Yes, Megan, it's Gladion. He may be edgy, but he knows what he wants. And I know he wants you.'

'I second that!' Rose yelled, throwing her arm in the air. 'He's crazy for you and your 'beautifully sexy body'.'

'That sounds like you're quoting something...'

'Oh yeah I read his diary.' She shrugged, holding up a red leather book labelled 'Gladion's diary'. My face reddened.

'Give me that!' I whisper yelled, snatching the diary from her. But curiosity took over as I began flipping through the pages 'Does it really say that?'

'Yup. As well as a lot of sexual fantasies.' Rose raised an eyebrow at me, smirking as I eagerly read what Gladion wrote. My face increased in colour.

'Dear Arceus...' Lillie whispered while peering over my shoulder.

'Guys! Let's focus on the situation at hand here!' Ashe scolded, taking the diary and handing it back to Rose 'I expect you to return this to him personally.'

Rose gulped, but nodded anyway. Ooh man is she gonna be in a world of pain.

'Anyway. Megan, sweetheart. You have nothing nothing to worry about. I know you'll be a great mother. If you are pregnant that is.'

'You'll never know unless you try.' Rose added.

Lillie stared down at her watch, before making eye contact with me and mouthing 'It's time'. I let out a shaky breath.

'You guys look first. I'm too nervous.' I urged.

Ashe blinked at me, before nodding and picking up the test. Lillie and Rose stood either side of her as all three stared at it blankly.

'Well...?' I asked 'Is it good or bad?'

'We'll let you be the judge of that.' Ashe replied, handing me the test.

I clutched it in my palm, sweat appearing on my forehead as I resisted the urge to look down. Was I ready? Was Gladion ready? I suppose I'll just have to find out. My eyes traveled down to the test, as I stared at the results.

'Positive...' I whispered 'S-So I am...'

(Timeskip)

The four of us, meaning Lillie, Ashley, Rose and I stood before the bedroom door, which was where Gladion was talking to the boy's about stuff. I took a deep breath before turning to my friends.

'You'll make sure this is a private talk, right? 'Cause I swear, if Sun kicks down this door from eavesdropping I'm gonna-'

'Hun, chill, it'll just be you two talking.' Ashe assured, making 'calm down' gestures with her hands.

'Yep, you're safe from Sun's brother instincts.' Rose added with a smirk. 'Until you tell everyone else that is.'

I shuddered 'Don't remind me. He's gonna flip...'

'Not as badly as Wicke. She'll probably slap Gladion senseless for 'Underage sex'.' Lillie quoted and rolled her eyes.

'Guuuys!' I complained 'You're not making me feel any better about my situation!'

'Sorry...'

I once again turned to the door, staring down at the knob before breathing out through my nose. 'I can do this...'

Quickly I slammed the door open, causing Sun, Hau and Gladion to spin round and stare at me with wide eyes. I pointed to the two fifteen year olds.

'You two. Out.'

'Wha-'

'Did I f*cking stutter? Out!'

Flinching at my sternness they scurried out of the room, with me closing the door behind them so they didn't ask questions. I sighed and turned to Gladion, who was giving me a 'What the f*ck?!' face.

'Was that really necessary?' he asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

'Sorry, but if I wasn't blunt they would've asked questions first, which I do not have the patience for at the moment.' I explained, before walking over to the bed and sitting down. 'Sit.' I demanded, pointing at the spot next to me.

Gladion wearily sat down. 'Did I do something wrong?'

'No but we need to talk about something important, and I need your full attention.' I responded, looking at him dead in the eye.

'Is it bad?'

'Depends on how you look at it.'

'What do you-'

'I'm pregnant, Gladion.'

Gladion froze as soon as those words left my mouth. His emerald orbs trailed down to my stomach and then back up to my eyes. His eyes began to water 'A-Are you serious?'

'Yes...' I confirmed nervously, placing a hand on my stomach. There's only two ways this conversation could go....

He said nothing, and just stared at me with tears rolling down his face. I grew scared 'A-Are you mad?'

He was quick to shake his head no 'Of course not! I'm quite the opposite, actually!' He beamed, wiping his eyes with his sleeve before cupping my face in his hands and resting his forehead on my own, closing his eyes 'This is amazing....'

A smile tugged at my lips as I too closed my eyes and sighed with relief 'Thank Arceus... for a minute there I thought you were going to leave me...'

Gladion's eyes shot open as he pulled me into an embrace 'I would never do that, Meg. I love you, and now the baby too much to leave you.'

I smiled, snuggling deeper into him 'I love you too...'

And with that we shared a passionate kiss.

(Lillie POV)

'Let me go! Let me at that mother f*cker!' Sun yelled as he reached for the door, only to be held back by Ashe and her crazy strong Lopunny. Hau was frozen, his ear still pressed against the door from overhearing. Rose and I exchanged glances, before shaking our heads and sighing.

'So now they have an angry champion, and a frozen cinnamon bun to deal with... So much for keeping their conversation 'private'...' I put my face into my hand.

'Still though,' Rose grinned 'OUR GIRL'S PREGNANT!'

'I KNOW!'

A/N: UGHHHHH, Cringe!

I do not like how this chapter turned out, but I'm too lazy to rewrite it so I'm just gonna publish it. So yeah, take it!

Megan's pregnant, Gladion's turning emo over his mother, Sun's actually a brother figure to Megan (That'll explain all the huggin), Ashe's been losing her sh*t Bla bla bla.

Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood. I mean have you seen Voltron season four?

SEASON 4 GUYS! THE CREATORS ARE FRIGGIN TOYING WITH MY EMOTIONS HERE!

UGH!

You know what? I need to sit down and cuddle my dog. I'm getting to irritated over this. I'll probably listen to some Shawn Mendes while I'm at it...

I'm out!
