Description: Scotty received some news on the phone.
A/N once again, all medical reference was made up completely.
WhenScotty entered the bedroom again, he saw Kevin sitting in the bed, his jaw was dropped and he had the phone in his hand, a low and contant noise filled the room, Scotty started looking arund until he realisedit came from the phone and he took it from his husband's hands and place it in the bedside table.
- Kevin? sweety are you ok?
Kevin didn't even blink and lots of thoughts started going throgh his head. Obviousy it was something bad. Not a Walker meltdown because they called their cellphones, something happened at the restaurant? no, the restaurant is closed and they would come upstairs and knock anyway... Scotty's friends? no, they would come home and knock the door down.... oh my God, did something happened to his parents?
- Kevin.... Kevin are you ok? did something happened to....Kevin?
Kevin still didn't blink, it didn't seem like he had aknowledge the presence of his husband. Scotty just sat next to him and waited, after a few minutes, he shoke his shoulder lighty. Kevin startled and turned around to faceScotty, an undescriptible look on his face.
- Abraham called... -Kevin said as it was self explanatory
- Abraham? is everything ok?
- no.... no he.... he said that..... the other man..... the husband of justin's chief? - scotty nodded and took his hand - he... he just had a miscarriage... there was some...some problem with the chromosomes....... we need to meet him tomorrow to run some tests
- what... what do you mean, what does this have to do with us
- our babies.... they may not make it
- what? why!?
- because there is only male dna in them didn't you hear what i just said!!!!!!!!!!!!! - kevin pushed his hands and got up, Scotty was surprised by his outburst and got up as well. he tried to reach his arm but Kevin ditched him once again.
- Kevin, our babies are ok, i know they are...
- abraham said... their baby was a girl, that is why she didn't make it......
- Kevin...
- you know what? we will have boys... abraham said we can choose the sex up to the 15th week so we still have some time....- Kevin says oncehe figure out how to solve the problem
- kevin.... there is something i have to tell you... i wanted it to be a surprise....
- what.....
- you will hate me...... i should have discussed this with you.... - scotty looks down and takes a deep breath
- scotty.....
- i did it - he says cutting him off - I had the shots...... I am expecting a baby girl.
Next morning, restaurant kitchen.
Scotty is trying a new soup and Saul is checking the books next to him in the kitchen table when Kevin comes from upstairs and walked past the two man and headed straight to the refrigerator. He closed the door after a few seconds and sat on the table with the icecream bucket, turned around to get a spoon and started eating. No word to any of the two man who were looking at him stunned.
- Kevin? are you ok? - Saul said closing the book
- yeah...I am not the one with the problem
- kevin - scotty says in an admonishing tone
- what.... I though by now the entire walker clan would know
- what, what are you talking about... - kevin just looked down and saul turned to look at scotty - what is going on here?
- I.....
- Scotty killed our baby..... well, his..... ours....... the one in his belly......
- what???
- turns out two man can only make baby boys.....- kevin starts explaining to a very confused saul- scotty here had some shots a few weeks ago to have a girl....and didn't tell me
- kevin, i didn't know, if i had..... - scotty starts but kevin rose his hand and he stopped. Saul looks at the two man and wonders if he should leave or stay. After all, despite his last name, he is a Walker.
- I know... I know.... but now your baby... our baby won't make it... I know you had no idea back then but i cannot stop being mad at you....we always said we wanted 2 babies..... that was always the plan..... what are we supposed to do now, get you an abortion? - there was so much anger and pain in Kevin's voice that Saul's heart broke
- I won't have an abortion Kevin, I won't kill my baby - Scotty says firmly, last night conversation and all their fears about losing the baby came back to him and he started feeling sick
- exactly! so what is it gonna be? put stretch mark cream in your belly twice a day and rub your back when it hurts for what? for what!!?? we both know the baby won't make it..... how can you be so calm knowing your baby will die inside of you in a matter of months and there is nothing that can be done!!!!!
-kevin, we don't know yet, we have to talk with abraham... there must be something....
- i don't want to do this....... if you want to go and talk with abraham go.... see if you can save her.... i am done...... you know what they say, if something is too good to be true, it probably is....... - Kevin gets up and comes back upstairs with the bucket of icecream. Scotty closed his eyes trying to stop the tears from rolling down his face, he took a deep breath and opened them again. Only to find himself alone in the kitchen.
Abraham's office that afternoon.
- so, what can we do?
- well, I can try some drugs, we can also try to block the chromosome that started all this....
- I can't lose this baby abraham... I always wanted a baby girl
- i know...... i am so sorry, i wish i had known....
- no, it is not your fault... you told us from the very beginning, there were no guarantees....
- why did you come alone? is everything ok? - abraham couldn't keep on pretending.
- scotty left this morning... i don't know where he is...... but if he ever comes back, we need to have a solution....
- yes...... i will cancel my appointments for today and start working on it.
- thank you abraham - kevin says as he gets up - i will go home and lay down for a while....those shotsmade me dizzy...
- at least we know you will be safe....
- i can't believe i'm having a boy...... - kevin says and a smile forms on his face
- i am sure he'll have your crazy curly hair
- i hope he has scotty's smile......
- he will......
kevin closes his eyes, abraham knows he is trying not to cry.
- scotty will come back, he just needs some time....
- abraham..... if he comes here... would you please tell him to come home? that I forgive him and I am sorry for getting mad? he must think I am blaming this on him...
- of course kevin..... I will tell him..... and drive him home myself if i have to.
Kevin smiles at him and before Abraham can process it, Kevin's arms are around him and his shoulder starts getting soak.
