Different (Completed)

Chapter 18

Once alone Keith turned on me then jumping to his feet.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked placing his hands on his hips.

I sighed and rose at my own sluggish pace.

"Do you remember anything?" I asked scratching my chin unsure of where to begin.

"I fainted. " Keith chirped.

"Right, but do you know why?" I asked rubbing the back of my neck unsure of how to break the news to him. He shook his head and folded his arms across his chest as he waited for me to reply.

"I just learned this myself and am still in shock so please bear with me." I added holding up a hand as I drew in a deep breath.

Concern knit Keith's brows together creating a crease between them.

"Spit it out Lance." Keith sighed irritably.

"You fainted because you are pregnant with my child. I know Glara men can have kids and stuff and you alone are proof of that. I just didn't think it would happen to us but it did and you are definitely pregnant. There's no making up the sound of a babys heartbeat. I didn't believe it either but it's true. So congratulations and I'm sorry." I spoke in a single rush of air.

Keith's eyes widened a moment before he snickered.

"No really." He snorted.

"Keith I'm not kidding." I carded my fingers through my hair as I searched the control panel. I found the video I was looking for and played it for him to see.

Seeing Keith in the healing pod caused me to flinch but it was Keith's reaction when he heard the sound of a faint but steady heartbeat that really caused me to stagger back.

"It can't be. I can't be." He shook his head in denial. Something close to anger and disbelief flashed across his face.

Ouch.

"This cannot be happening. I have to find my dad. I don't have time for-" His words were cut off as he raked a hand through his mullet in distress.

He turned kicking over a trash can and shouted curses at the ceiling. I winced at his reaction.

At least he had a reaction. I just went numb. I get being scared. I'm scared too but I'm not angry.

I felt hurt that he was so angered by this. I was scared beyond belief, but somehow I knew we would make it through this together, and that comforted me enough that I actually almost started to be okay with this.

What if Keith doesn't want the baby? What if this comes between us?

I felt my world begin to shade in gray as doubt loomed over me like a dark cloud.

"So what do you want to do?" My voice cracked as I spoke softly unable to meet his eye. My gaze was locked on a spot on the floor.

Keith turned on me then hearing the emotion thick in my voice.

"You're okay with this?" He asked sounding distressed.

I took a moment to choose my words carefully before I met his unsteady violet gaze.

"I love you Keith. I've mated with you. I've bonded with you. I'm not going anywhere. I'm scared as hell right now and unsure of what will happen, but I know for certain that I love you and I will stand by you no matter what."

No matter what choice you make. The thought saddened me, but this wasn't my choice to make. It was his. I could say my piece but ultimately it was Keith's decision.
