### Chapter 66: The Reveal#### Bing's POVBing had been avoiding Safari as much as possible since their last conversation. The concern in Safari's eyes had been too much to bear, knowing that they were hiding something so significant. The symptoms had only gotten worse, and Bing knew they couldn't keep this up much longer.They sat in their office, staring blankly at the wall. The dizziness had returned, and the nausea was relentless. It was becoming harder to focus, harder to pretend everything was fine. The truth was clawing at them from the inside, demanding to be set free.Bing reached into their drawer and pulled out the pregnancy test they had taken days ago. The two lines stared back at them, a stark reminder of the reality they were trying to avoid. How could they possibly explain this to Safari? How could they tell him that they were pregnant and had been keeping it a secret all this time?There was a knock on the door, startling Bing. They quickly shoved the test back into the drawer, their heart racing. "Come in," they called, trying to steady their voice.The door opened, and Safari stepped inside. Bing felt their stomach drop. They weren't ready for this—not now, not yet."Bing," Safari said softly, closing the door behind him. "We need to talk."Bing's breath caught in their throat. They could see the determination in Safari's eyes, the same look he had given them when he insisted on helping. There was no avoiding this anymore. "Safari, I..."Safari moved closer, his gaze never leaving Bing's. "You don't have to say anything yet," he said gently. "But I can see something is really wrong, and I'm not going to stand by and watch you suffer alone. Please, Bing, tell me what's going on."Bing's hands trembled as they clasped them together in their lap. The weight of the secret they had been carrying felt unbearable, like it was crushing them from the inside out. They had never felt so vulnerable, so exposed. But there was no way out of this anymore. They had to tell him. They had to reveal the truth.Tears welled up in Bing's eyes as they finally looked at Safari. "Safari... I'm pregnant."The words hung in the air between them, heavy and fraught with emotion. Bing watched as Safari's expression shifted from concern to shock, and then to something deeper—something that made Bing's heart ache even more."Pregnant?" Safari repeated, his voice barely above a whisper. "Bing, why didn't you tell me?"Bing's tears spilled over, and they shook their head, unable to find the words. "I was scared," they admitted, their voice breaking. "I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't want to burden you with this. I've been trying to handle it on my own, but I... I can't anymore."Safari moved closer, kneeling in front of Bing and taking their hands in his. "You're not a burden," he said firmly, his voice filled with emotion. "You never could be. I'm here, Bing, and I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this together."Bing's shoulders shook with silent sobs as they finally let go of the secret they had been holding onto for so long. Safari's arms wrapped around them, pulling them close in a comforting embrace. For the first time in weeks, Bing allowed themselves to lean on someone else, to let Safari carry some of the weight they had been bearing alone."I'm so sorry," Bing whispered, their voice muffled against Safari's shoulder. "I should have told you sooner.""Shh, it's okay," Safari murmured, gently stroking Bing's hair. "We'll figure this out together. I'm here, and I'm going to take care of you, I promise."As Bing clung to Safari, they felt a strange mix of relief and fear. The secret was out, but now came the hard part—navigating this new reality together. But with Safari by their side, Bing felt a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, they could make it through this.
