Road To Parenthood: Discovery

A few weeks later, I was at home making lunch for Rose, Kanaya, Jade, Nepeta, Feferi and I. Gamzee was hanging out with Karkat and Tavros. My parents were out having a "date day", so they said I could invite some friends over. Although, my parents don't like the Trolls much. They say they're monsters preparing to destroy us. I never got why they don't see that they're nice people. I stopped making my sandwich for a second, lost in thought. Someone put their hand on my shoulder, making me jump. "[Name]? You okay?" Jade and Rose looked at me. I laughed a little and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." We finished making sandwiches for everyone and walked back into my living room. Once the sandwiches were set out, and everyone got one, they started talking. I was drifting through my thoughts. 'I wonder if mom and dad'll approve of Gamzee and I?' I gulped, a sour feeling in my stomach. I put my plate on the coffee table, groaning, and put my head in my hands.

"[Name]?" I couldn't register who called my name. My mouth dried quickly, and I stood up. Someone gasped as I ran to the bathroom. "[Name]!!" I heard footsteps behind me, and someone held my hair and rubbed my back as I emptied my stomach. 'What's going on?!' I almost NEVER vomit. I gasped for breath as I stopped. I just sat there, trying to get my strength back. I heard more footsteps. "Is she alright?" Rose asked. "Maybe... she's stopped for now." Feferi said from my left. I guess she was the one rubbing my back. I looked to my right and saw Jade holding my hair back. I started gagging again. "I don't think she's done, guys..." Jade said. I felt tears prink my eyes as I puked again. They fell down my face as I retched and shivered. "Rose. Can you get a rag a wet it with cold water?" Jade asked. After a few seconds I heard the water run. I jumped a little when the rag was settled on the back of my neck. (A/N: That really helps; putting a cold rag on the back of your neck, or stomach, when your stomach is upset. And, it sounds silly, but if you put it on your wrist it helps too.)

Feferi rubbed my back again. "Its just a rag. Calm down." I smiled painfully at her attemped joke. After a few minutes of dry heaving, my stomach loosened and I leaned back against the wall, with Feferi's and Jade's help. I took the rag and wiped my face off, balling it up and tossing it into the sink. 'I'll wash it later...' The girls looked at me worriedly. "Are you alright now?" Jade asked. I nodded. "Can I just... be alone for a few minutes? I wanna brush my teeth and get the taste out." Jade and Feferi nodded, shooing the others out and closing the door.

I flushed the toilet, trying not to puke at the smell alone. I grabbed the can of air freshener and sprayed until it smelled like watermelon. I started brushing my teeth. 'What just happened? I NEVER vomit. Anymore anyway.' I rubbed the extra tears away, sniffling a little. A thought suddenly struck me, making my heart speed up in fear. I gulped, looking around the cabinets until I found... it. 'I can't belive this...' I stared at the pregnancy test in fear, turning the box over and reading the directions. 'Okay... wait 3 minutes.' I took the test out of the box and pulled my pants down. It was uncomfortable, but I was able to pee on it. (A/N: I know this is serious, but I busted out laughing at that.) After cleaning myself up and putting my test on the counter (and pulling my pants up), I stared at the test. 'This is the LONGEST three minutes EVER.' I paced around the small bathroom; sat on the tub; sat on the toilet lid. 'OH MY GOD. HURRY UP.' I heard a knock on the door. "[Name]? Everything alright in there?" Jade asked through the door. "Yeah! My legs are still a little wobbly, so I'm just gonna sit in here for a few minutes." "Alright... If you need us, just yell!" "Okay." Her footsteps receeded down the hall, right as the test beeped. I picked it up. "...Oh my God..." I was pregnant.

I threw the test away, washed my hands again, and left the bathroom. "What's wrong?" Feferi asked, worry written on her face. I sat down on my chair, tears threatening to fall. "You girls remember that Gamzee and I are Matesprits, right?" They nodded. "Well... a  few weeks ago... we... uh..." Jade and Rose gasped, while the Trolls had no idea what I was talking about. "You two did... IT?" Jade gaped at me as I nodded. "What's 'IT'?" Nepeta asked. "Bucket filling." Rose said simply, making the other girls blush. I sighed heavily. "Well... I'm pregnant." They stared at me in shock. Jade gasped, her eyes shifting to the door. "You're WHAT?!" I froze. I looked to the door, and saw my parents there. My dad walked up to me, anger burning in his eyes like a fire. He pulled me up. "Who's is it?!" I gulped, tears falling down my face. "H-He's not here." My mom turned to the girls. "I think you girls should leave." They looked to me, and I nodded. It would be better if they weren't here. After they left, my dad set me on the couch.

"Well?" He tossed me my cell. "Call him. I want him down here." I dialed Gamzee's number. "Hello?" "I need you to come over." I shrunk away from my parents' glares. "Now." "A-alright, sis. See ya soon." He hung up quickly, detecting the fear and sadness in my voice. Mom went to change out of her dress. Dad took off his tie and jacket, leaving a white dress shirt and black pants on. A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door. My dad answered it, and was met with Gamzee. Gamzee walked in and sat next to me. "Oh great..." Dad mumbled under his breath. Mom came out and scoffed when she saw Gamzee. "Why is he here?" Dad sneered. "Where's that son of a bitch?" I sighed. "You're looking at him." Gamzee was beyond confused at this point. "[Name]? What's going on, sis?" I turned to Gamzee. "Gazmee...I'm... I'm pregnant. We're gonna have a wriggler." His eyes widened. I looked away, the tears falling faster. He hugged me. "Motherfucking miracles..." I heard him mutter, laughing to himself. I smiled. He pulled back, keeping his hands on my shoulders. "We're gonna have a motherfucking wriggler, sis!"

"No you're NOT." Dad growled, grabbing my wrist and yanking me away from Gamzee. Our eyes widened. "I will not let my daughter have a... DEMON hybrid child." He yanked me towards the door. "We're getting rid of it. NOW." I started struggling. I looked back at Gamzee, sobbing. "Gamzee!" I reached for him with my other hand. He shot up from the couch and ran over to me. He made Dad let go of my arm. When Dad tried to grab me again, Gamzee growled protectivly, holding me too him. I noticed his eyes turn a red color. "You won't MOTHERFUCKING touch her. GOT IT?" Mom looked like she was about to pass out, while Dad was just angrier. "Alright, you little whore." I couldn't believe he just called me a whore... "You get your stuff, and GET. OUT. You can live with your monster and demon-spawn somewhere else." He left the house, slamming the door behind him. Mom followed after him.

"[Name]..." I fell to my knees, not able to hold myself up anymore. Gamzee kneeled next to me, holding me. I sobbed into his chest. "Don't you motherfucking worry, sis." Gamzee started, rubbing my back. I could hear his voice breaking a little. He must've been upset too... "You can... live with me. I may not have the best hive out there, but... we'll make it work." I looked up at him and sniffled. "Really?" He nodded, smiling down at me. "Yeah. That's what Matesprits are for, sis." He helped me up. "Well, let's get your stuff. You can grab the stuff for your... bed? Is that what it's called?" I nodded as I started packing. "Okay. You can get that stuff, and the guys and I can build ya a new bed. I know you don't like sleeping in the slime." I smiled at Gamzee. "Thanks Gamzee..."

I took one last look at my old home. 'Bye...' Gamzee and I started the trek to his hive. It was quiet for a while. It was pretty depressing. "We'll need to go to a hospital soon, so I can have a check up." Gamzee looked at me. "Really?" I nodded. "Oh yeah! Sis." I turned to Gamzee. "Will you..." 'Is he...?' "Will ya teach me about human reproductive cycles?" I mentally face palmed. 'Nope.' "Sure Gamzee." "Sweet." "You won't think so..." I mumbled. "Huh?" I giggled. "Nothing, Gamzee."

Yeah... we'll be fine.
