Chapter forty-two

Lavi's POV

**

I found Katherine at the prep room after searching all over for her. She seemed to be crying when I found her and I can't understand why. I get that she is upset about the fight with obi but it wasn't my fault. He came at me like a fucking lunatic and I had to beat it out of him nonetheless but seeing her in tears because of that same reason is something I wish I hadn't done no matter whose fault was it.

"I'm sorry okay? He came at me first and I had to defend myself" I explained

She only shook her head at me as tears continued to flow down her cheeks

Jesus!

I don't get this..why is she so emotional right now. Did something else happened or the fight is the only thing upsetting her this much.

"C'mon K, I said am sorry didn't I? I know he is your friend and it's my fault. Sorry!" I practically yelled.

"No! It's not your fault. This is all my doing" she cried even more touching my stitched up cheek.

"How is it your fault huh? You didn't ask him to go fight me. Him of all people should know better than coming at me like that"

"No you don't understand Lavi. He got upset because of me! I should have known he'd go looking for you"

"How do you mean?" My eyes searching hers as I moved closer.

She looked away with her back turned to me and I stopped in my tracks.

What is this?

She won't even look at me?

"Remember the test result I got from the clinic last week?"

"Yeah? What about it?"

She turned and faced me again but her lip were practically trembling as she stared back at me with a sorry look at her face.

"I lied Lavi" her voice has reduced to a whisper.... " I totally lied about the result and it's no stomach virus either " biting down at her bottom lips.

I was completely flushed as I stared back at her. Why do I feel like something really life changing is about to happen to me? I can practically hear my heart beat at this point.

"Tell me what it says. I mean the real result"

"I'm... I'm pre-pregnant Lavi" she replied quietly as another tear slip down her cheek before her shoulder slumped down in total defeat.

The moment the word fell out her mouth, I began to see it more clearly because it was there all along! Crystal clear. It was in her eyes; the way she looked at me. In her gaze; watching me closely and the way she ate her lunch better and faster than anyone. And even today, she gave me a clue back at the exam hall when she rubbed at her belly and then back at me. It was all there! Now I get why obi wanted to rip my throat out. He also knew she is pregnant and for me!

Oh God!

Oh God!

She is pregnant!

I gathered her in my arm as I tilt her chin to look at me.

"You're pregnant?"

She could only afford a single nod for an answer but its doesn't matter. She had said yes!

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I've been trying to tell you since I found out but couldn't. I'm sorry"

"It's okay! Please don't cry now" wrapping my arms around her as I pulled her even closer into my chest.

I don't even know how I feel at this moment. My feelings are conflicted at this point. I'm totally confused and happy at the same time.

What does that even mean!

If this was a different situation and timing, i'd die of happiness but nonetheless, am still happy but is she even happy? Her happiness should matter too or this is going to be the beginning of our worst nightmare!

"Are you happy?" I asked her

"Are you?" She asked me too

"Honestly? I am happy but yours is what matters" I smiled.

"What are we going to do Lavi?" Staring at me with wet lashes

"I don't know K but we have to tell our parent" I suggested.

"My dad will kill me lav! I know he will" shaking her head repeatedly and am beginning to fear for her as well. The fear of her father is truly evident in her eyes and I can't do anything to change it.

"I don't think he will. He may get upset but I don't believe he will go as far as killing his only daughter"

"You don't know my dad Lavi. He may not kill me but he is most likely to do worst" she cried.

"Are you saying he might force you to abort?" My expression paled.

"I don't know but we should be ready for worst"

"Let hope it doesn't come to that So calm down. Getting worried is not good for the baby either"

She looked back at me eyes wide with an unreadable expression.

Did I say something wrong?

"You're worried about this baby?" Rubbing at her rather flat tummy.

"Yes! Am I not supposed to be worried?" My brow furrowed in confusion.

She shrugged instead as she continued to pace around with one of her hand on her hip and another rubbing at her chin in a thoughtful way.

"I don't know Lavi. Why are you calm about this? Ain't you supposed to be freaking out?" She stopped and stared at me as if I just grew two red horn on my forehead.

"That's because I love you K and am ready to support you in whatever you decide" I replied calmly, placing her hand in mine.

"We screwed up big time Lavi.. We really did" she bite down at her lips yet again.

"Do you want to keep the baby?" I asked her.

"I don't know what I want Lavi. I really don't know but I don't want to commit murder either"

"Whatever you decide, I will support you because we are in this together. You and I"

She smiled and sigh in relief before snaking her arms around me in a tight hug.

This is going to be a life changing experience no doubt. I can already feel it.

I don't want to start imagining my parent reactions yet but I know it won't be good. But either way. I'm telling them tonight!

A/N

Lavi finally knows the truth at last. Was his reaction expected or not?
