A Chance to Love 2.0: Part 7
She had always feared that this would result. There was no sickness, but there was the feeling that made her heart flutter in worry. However, it was something that had a high percent of happening. So, here she was, standing in front of a porcelain sink in the shape of a sea shell, a rag soaked with ice cold water in her hand as she pressed it to her forehead.
I-I'm pregnant?
It was something she had to believe, but she felt it was too fast, as if the ship to motherhood had suddenly left with her as the only passenger. She had no clue how to react or if she was even ready for any of this. She drew in a deep breath, closing her eyes feeling as cold water pooled up from the rag onto her forehead, causing tiny streams of water to run down her cheeks.
Her eyes opened at the knock, and she turned her eyes to it, "Come in."
Min peaked her head in after cracking the door a bit, "Do you need more time? Don and Raph are here."
"Min…" her eyes looked down onto the floor, "I'm scared."
Min stared at her friend for a few moments before whispering, "Of coarse you're scared, Kat, you're taking your first steps to begin a long journey. It's okay to feel this way."
She nodded solemnly, "That doesn't make me feel better…"
Min chuckled slightly, before whispering, "Hiding in here won't help, maybe getting to know Raph and Don a little more might help." Min grinned slightly, "And maybe one or both of them can know second."
Kat's eyes widened, "W-What if I-I'm not ready for that?"
"Kat, you'll never know unless you do it," Min shrugged, "but, if I were you, I'd tell sooner, rather then later." Kat nodded slightly, eyes still looking at the ground.
Min smiled slightly, "Kat, dry off your face and come on out, m'kay?"
"Okay," Kat nodded shyly. Min smiled softly before turning on her heal and walking out, causing Kat to look at herself in the mirror, placing the wet rag in the sink, before using the dry towel hanging by it to dry her face off.
Drawing in a deep breath, she turned and walked out of the bathroom. She could hear the sound of her heartbeat as she closed the door silently behind her. She could feel all the occupants of the room watch her as she walked across the room.
She paused slightly, her eyes quickly going towards Min, who was sitting next to Raph on the sofa. She glanced at Don, blinking slightly.
Min had dubbed the couch he was sitting on the official 'hot' seat stating that she had plenty of good make out sessions on that one couch with her ex boyfriend. Min would joke many times that she would take it on her honeymoon.
That was before she walked in and found her ex boyfriend's dick up a sexy blonde hooker's ass.
"Kat, don't be such a baby," Min groaned snapping the young woman from her thoughts, "sit your butt down somewhere." She quickly decided to sit next to Don and sat down quickly, sending her friend a serious look. Min just grinned smugly.
Raph and Don's gaze were still on her, making her look at her hands to avoid the major awkward feeling of the burning stares.
"So…" Raph held out the 'o' longer before his voice trailed off, golden eyes studying Kat for a few moments before glancing towards Min, quickly taking a swig of her beer.
Don quickly did a sign for Raph to get off the subject when Raph turned his gaze back to the couch they occupied. Kat shifted slightly, before a soft tapping sound entered the room.
Min rolled her eyes standing up, walking towards the glass doors.
Kat was looking at her hands as Min greeted Leo and Mikey before leading them inside. She failed to notice Mikey sitting on the easy chair directly next to her, but she looked up when Min suddenly began to talk to everyone in the room, until the statement, "Does anyone want anything to drink?" She glanced at Raph with an annoyed look, before looking at the rest of the occupants in the room.
Min quickly took the orders: coffee for Don, green tea for Leo, an orange soda for Mikey, and another beer for Raph.
Kat suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she looked up at Min as she turned on her heel and walk towards the kitchenette.
"M-Min," she called to her roommate softly. Min turned to Kat, arching an eyebrow, making Kat stand up and walk towards her swiftly, "I'll get the drinks."
Min nodded, smiling softly before whispering, "Could you get me a beer then?" Kat smiled nervously before nodding and disappearing into the kitchenette while Min went to sit down on the couch next to Raph.
Raph glanced at Min before stating, "Why is she actin' so weird?"
Don winced slightly at the sudden statement, only to glance at Min who was quickly absorbing what Raph had just said. Leo and Mikey were wide-eyed and glancing between Raph and Min.
Min's lips formed into a hard line and her eyes narrowed, before she snapped, "Why in the hell are you such a dumb ass?"
Don sighed, bringing his hands to his temples and rubbing them. He somehow knew that this would happen after Kat exited the bathroom about five minutes before, and he felt so responsible for what his brother said. He stood up, a headache forming as Raph and Min said vulgar things to each other back forth for several minutes (with the two other turtles that were not involved betting that Min would win).
He began walking in the direction of the kitchenette, hoping to be pointed in the direction of the painkillers.
He paused before entering; a slight bit of worry overwhelmed him as he noticed Kat.
She was leaning on the counter, her body trembling slightly as her hands braced the counter, hands clenched tightly. Beside her was a tray, with two cans of beer, an orange soda, two empty mugs (one with a tea packet inside and a spoon, and the other had a spoon), and a bottled water.
"Kat?" she looked back, staring at him, her expression unreadable as he stared questioning at her, "Are you feeling okay?"
"Um…" she hesitated slightly, fidgeting in her spot, "You-Your coffee is almost ready."
"Kat, that's not what I asked," he found himself murmuring, "are you feeling okay?"
She remained silent, staring at him with a broken expression, before whispering, "I-I…"
She became suddenly quiet, as if her voice was caught in her throat. She quickly turned her back to him. He studied her for a few moments before he found himself walking towards her, stopping behind her and placing a hand on her shoulder, "You what?"
He felt her tense slightly, "It's… n-nothing."
Don found himself standing quietly behind her, his hand still resting on her shoulder before removing it. He did not want to question her any further; he was worried it might upset her and destroy the pinch of trust between the two of them (even though they knew each other for barely two days).
The sudden pounding of a headache kicked in, "Um… Kat?"
She turned her head to him, slightly questioning, "Y-Yes?"
"Could you tell me where you and Min keep the painkillers?"
She blinked, eyes locked on the soft blue curtains of the kitchenette, "Th-third cabinet on the l-left."
Don nodded, following her instructions. He opened the cabinet and pulled out a bottle of aspirin.
"Don?" the purple-banded turtle blinked, glancing towards Kat, who had turned in his direction while he wasn't looking.
"Yeah, Kat?" he titled his head slightly, blinking at her.
She flushed slightly, biting her lower lip, and she looked down at her trembling hands; the feeling of her heart pounding behind her ribcage caused her to breath in a shakey breath, "I'm..." she could feel her voice crack, "I-I'm…"
She shut her mouth abruptly, and she sucked in her bottom lip. He became slightly more concerned.
"Kat," he paused before repeating, "Are you feeling okay?"
Remaining silent, Kat brushed back a few strands of hair and her eyes opened. The expression she held brought shivers down his spine, noticing the frightened look in them. She shook her head negatively.
"Do you want to," he hesitated slightly, unsure of how she would react, "talk to me about it?"
Kat nodded, before clenching her hands into fists, reaching deeply inside herself, before murmuring, "Don…I'm pregnant."
The purple masked turtle suddenly found himself speechless.
A man ran a hand through his hair before leaning back in a chair, a black, cordless phone in his hand. He dialed a number before bring the phone to his ear.
He waited a few moments as a soft ringing was heard.
"Gah…'Ello?"
He grimaced at the annoying high-pitched voice, "Benny, it's Marc; I need to talk to Shaun."
"Hold on…"
He sighed, listening as the phone was set down and he heard scrabbling off.
The sound of a phone being picked up caused him to sit up, "What is it Marc?"
"Do you have any idea where she is?" he asked.
A soft chuckle was heard on the other end, "I do…"
Marc sighed in relief, "Well?"
"There's only one problem…"
Problem?
Marc cringed, gritting his teeth, "What kind of problem?"
"She doesn't live alone."
"Shit."
He had to see her again.
"What do you wanna do?"
"Does she still work at the bar?" he asked.
"Yeah, why?"
He smirked, "Meet me at our smoking spot tomorrow."
He hung up and glanced over to the small table that rested next to him.
He quickly replaced the phone with a photograph of a young woman.
"Kat…"
PLEASE REVIEW!
Sorry for taking so long to update...writers block is killer. Actually, the last portion of the chapter (the phone call that Marc made) was actually a rejected idea for an earlier chapter. I just forget which one, lol. I hope I'm not moving too fast…
Preview to Part 8:
Min glowered at Raph. Raph stared emotionlessly at Min. Suddenly he shrugged, an indifferent look on his face, "Because its fun making you angry."
It wasn't the reaction any of them were really expecting. Min's cheeks became a slight shade of pink. In her entire life, she had never felt so embarrassed.
