Hi guys, this is my first ever FanFic that I'm writing. I just read Remake by Illima Todd and I love the series and really want to continue it. And please note that i don't own any of this. Enjoy!

Nine

It had been a month since we came into the city. Everyday i went to Setias lab where she ran different tests; I'd lost count of how many times she drew blood. Kai was concerned that at this rate I'd run out of blood. It was nice that Theron was there though; he made it all worth it. No. If i wasn't doing this all the people in Freedom would die.

"You're good to go," Setia called over to me, "Thanks." i nodded over to her and pulled my jacket of one of the chairs. I practically ran down the street to mine and Kai's apartment. He hated all the furnishings and how clean it was. I knew he was home sick and he missed his little brothers. When i got to the door i pulled out my key and unlocked the door. Kai was nowhere to be seen inside. I went over to the kitchen to start dinner. It wasn't big but it was enough.

I pulled out a bowl and mixing spoon and began an easy noodle recipe. It brought back memories of when i was back here with Theron. How i was here and Kai was not. I was kneading the dough on the kitchen side when i started to feel nauseous. I ran to the bathroom and bent over the toilet just as all my food came up. I heard the front door open and close. Kai called my name but I'm sure he heard me before he saw me. He came and knelt beside me, slowly rubbing my back. He pulled my hair out of the way, i shooed him away.

"Are you crazy?" he asked me, "I'm staying right here." I didn't actually expect him to leave. i got up and rinsed my mouth out with the clean tap water. It was one of the things i missed in Mahawai and in the rebel village. Kai didn't even leave me when i brushed my teeth, or when i went back to the kitchen. I immediately dumped the dough in the trash not wanting to spread my germs. I didn't have much of an appetite ether. i collapsed on the couch and Kai followed me. I curled into his side and he rubbed my arm.

"You okay?" he asked with his chin resting on my head.

"Um...now i am," i told him, he kissed my hair and i smiled a bit, "Thank you."

"For what, being your husband? Being there for you?" i smiled and nodded, "Ani, there's nothing I'd rather do." i looked at him and he leaned in a bit. i stopped him with my finger against his lips.

"No, we can't have you getting sick as well," I let out a small giggle when he decided just to kiss my finger, and then moved to my knuckles then my hand.

"What do you think got you sick?" I leaned into him as we both looked out the large window at all the lights in Freedom.

"I don't know, i doubt it was the lab." He scoffed but when i looked i could see a smirk on his lips.

"Yeah, it's not like they're the most sanitary places..." he said dryly but i laughed anyways. We were silent for a while then he spoke again, "You don't think you could be pr-" i clamped my hand over his mouth so he couldn't speak. I gave him a warning look and stood. We both knew it could be a possibility but neither of us were ready to be parents. We didn't want to raise a child in Freedom, not with all of this going on.

I walked to our room and changed into my pajamas then curled up in bed. I heard some clanking of metal and was scared of what Kai was doing in the kitchen. I started to doze off to sleep but i was awoken when Kai came into the room and flopped on the bed. I groaned and pushed him away, he smirked at me. I didn't smile though, so his smile faded.

"Sorry...um, about earlier." He told me. I shook my head and rolled over to face him. He put one arm around my waist and hugged my into him, my hands flat against his chest.

"No, it's okay...i just-" he silenced me with a kiss and my hands brushed his cheeks. He pulled away but his nose still brushed mine.

"I know, we've talked about it." he brushed a hand across my check and into my hair. He placed a kiss on my forehead and i rested my head on his chest. The sound of his heart lulled me to sleep.

I woke the next morning and immediately felt something wrong. Kai's arms were still around me and i wriggled out of his grasp. I ran to the bathroom and, again, heaved over the toilet. Kai was by my side instantly, pulling my hair out of the way. When i was done he pulled me into his chest and we stayed like that for a while.

"Nine, are you sure you're not?" I shook my head, not because i was sure but because i didn't want it to be true. I was just barely eighteen, Kai pulled me to my feet, "Come on, we're going to find out." I brushed my teeth and went to get changed. Kai was waiting at the kitchen table with a glass of water. I sat beside him and he pushed the glass my way, i drank it all in a few gulps. I set the glass down and looked at him.

"Okay, before we leave we just have to make sure you're not just sick, okay?" I nodded.

"How?" I asked him. I didn't know what Kai was up to.

"Questions," he said with a smirk, i offered a tight-lipped smile too, "Are you late?" I knew what he meant. I hadn't noticed anything different but now that i thought about it...

"Yes but-" I told him, he held up a hand to stop me. I rested my chin on my hand as he watched the table.

"Okay, um lets go." He stood up fast and his chair screeched along the dark wood floor. He offered his hand and i let him pull me to my feet. He led us to the door and we walked down the hall to the stairs. We walked down in silence. When we stepped out into the fresh morning air i turned on him.

"Kai," There was desperation in my voice, "I don't just want some random doctor to test me. And if i am i don't want to tell people for a while, okay?" He nodded and looked down at the pavement next to him

"Well, then we can have Theron test you." he suggested. He smiled at me and i let my face fall into my hands. I let out a groan. He laughed and folded me into his arms. "Come on." he grabbed my hand and pulled me down the street. We went to the front door and i was surprised to see Theron sitting at the desk next to Setia.

"Oh, Nine," he looked up from his work, "What do you need?" I felt my face redden and looked to Kai. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me forwards with him. I let out a quiet growl so only he would hear me. He let out a small chuckle. We reached the desk and Kai leaned in to talk to Theron.

"Can we go to a lab?" Theron nodded and lead the way. He didn't ask us what was going on till the door closed.

"We...um, Ani might be pregnant."He blurted out really fast. Theron looked confused at first then his face relaxed then he just looked down-right concerned. I felt my face redden and Kai held me tighter.

"Are you sure?" Theron asked, he ran a hand through his hair and looked from me to Kai.

"No, we're not!" I exclaimed, "Kai just naturally assumed that since i vomited I'm pregnant. Plus how would you even know how to test me if people in Freedom don't have babies?" Kai rubbed my arm slightly and i felt myself relax a little.

"My mom would get tests from steamship visits sometimes. Do you have something like that here?" Kai asked Theron. Theron's lips tightened and i knew he did that when he was thinking. What if i was pregnant? I wouldn't be able to continue the fight that most certainly wasn't over. I'd be a mom.

"I think we do, i know there was something they used on surrogates in the past, their might still be some." my gut clenched as he mentioned the surrogates. How Pua was almost one. How so many woman and girls were put through so much. "Let me check the basement." Theron left the room and Kai led me to a seat. We sat in silence for a few minutes before he broke it.

"Nine, i know your scared about all of this," he places a kiss on my shoulder, "But the worst thing that could happen would be having a miniature me running around." I laughed out loud at him. It wouldn't be terrible, in fact i think it would keep me on my toes. The door opened and we turned to see Theron come in with a small box in hand.

"Well, it's your lucky day, we only had a few left." he said. Though i could tell he had his healer mask on. Me and Kai stood up and Theron gave me the box. He motioned towards the bathroom and i looked down then walked in. I closed the doors behind me and let out an exasperated sigh. This wasn't really happening, right?

When i came out Kai stood and i went towards him. I had put the test back in the box and handed it to Theron. He put it on a desk in the room. Kai opened his arms and i fell into them. I heard Theron leave the room, we were alone. I felt a warm tear slip down my cheek, Kai pulled back and wiped it away.

"Hey, it's okay...we don't even know yet," he pulled he towards him again and i buried my face into his neck. "Nine, it's going to be fine, i know you're scared right now. We're both still young but it'll be fine. If you ever need help I'm sure mom will be there. And Pua." I nodded and we both sat down. His arm was around my shoulders, my hand on his leg. Theron came back in and proclaimed it time to see the results.

"Wait, Theron," i started, "If it is in fact positive we don't want to tell anyone for a while." he nodded and gave me the box. I handed it to Kai, he should do it. He watched me the whole time he opened it. He slipped the test out and looked at it. I watched as his brow furrowed then his whole face lit up.

"Nine, we're going to have a baby!"
