Learning Something New... Again!

Hackett looked at the stunned but not the happy face of his brother and felt wronged. He thought that everyone from his family was going to be surprised but happy with the news, but he couldn't expect that Mijail reacted completely the opposite.

Of course, Hackett was exaggerating. Mijail was stunned, but not because he was angry or disapproving of his brother's life, but because he only got to know at that moment that MEN could also get pregnant in this world. Obviously, he would react like that.

Maybe he lived for four years between rich people, but no one, even his father, told him that men could get pregnant. Even the other owner of his body didn't know that was possible. That made Mijail realize how ignorant his parallel self was. Now, he felt that because he began to date a girl, his father didn't bother or thought it was something relevant to tell him. He then remembered that he saw couples of the same sex with sons, but he thought they adopted them.

Mijail's head was a mess at that moment.

He studied biology, but he specialized in flora and fauna, not in human biology. Mijail tried hard to remember if some memories of his parallel self had something when he was in elementary school, but nothing came to his mind. Mijail felt helpless and understood again the importance to study and memorize information. You don't know when your elementary's education will come in handy.

Heller looked at his brother and saw that he was actually distracted by his thoughts. He decided to take out Mijail of the guest's view.

Mijail let Heller take him apart, and then, both entered into a room that was within the ballroom. Once Heller closed the door, he looked straight into Mijail's eyes.

"What happened to you? You seem bothered with something..." Heller asked at his pale brother, he began to worry that Mijail might collapse and start bleeding.

Mijail was still deep in thought until he heard Heller asking him something.

"What did you say?"

"I asked you if something happened to you," Heller repeated slowly his words.

"Ah! No, it's just that the news took me by surprise. It was something unexpected for me," Mijail said distractedly.

"It was for everyone, but you seemed to be shocked with something else," Heller was confused by his words. He could say that Mijail was still distracted, so he pressed on.

"Well, I was pondering about that men can get pregnant too, it was a surprise for me," Mijail said absentmindedly.

Heller looked at him and began to laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha! That's what made you react like that? Hahahahahaha!" Heller was laughing loudly, which made Mijail return to his senses.

"Why are you laughing?" Mijail asked with a bit of irritation but more embarrassment. His face was becoming red.

"Haha! Ok, breath, breath... Uf... I just was laughing that a biologist actually didn't know about that," Heller began to calm down and wiped his tears.

"Well, I specialized in animals and plants, no in humans" Mijail muttered.

Then he looked again at Mijail and saw a confused and ignorant expression.

"Let me explain to you, but be sure to remember this time, teachers teach us that after some research in the past, they found that some animals could mate between the same gender and give birth. So they began to investigate a way to make humans have the same capability. After years of research and failures, they created a pill that helps women impregnate their seed and men becoming pregnant. It is not something cheap, but Louis's family could afford them. So it seems that he bought one for Hackett, and, well, we know the rest." Heller finished explaining and saw that Mijail was completely red, even his ears were red.

Hackett couldn't help but thought that Mijail looked cute. He would beat anyone who harms his younger brother.

"I-I understand," Mijail said.

"Before we forget, remember to apologize to Hackett. He might have misunderstood your reaction, and now that we know he is pregnant, he will be more sensitive," Heller said while opening the door.

Mijail nodded and left the room together with his brother.

After they left the room, they found that everyone was on their tables while the waiters were serving the food. Mijail looked for his brother and spotted him greeting some guests.

Mijail got closer to where Hackett was.

Frieda noticed that her two brothers returned and then she saw that Mijail was going where Hackett. She saw that Mijail told something to Hackett and after some words, they left the ballroom and entered the same room Heller took Mijail before. Frieda hoped that nothing bad happened in a joyous event.

*************************************

"Did you hear? Mo family is holding a wedding party and one of their sons is pregnant. We can make our move," a man in black was talking to the man next to him.

"Yes, it's the best moment with all the guests distracted by the party. Let's began the operation."

*************************************

Inside a room of the ballroom, Mijail and Hackett were looking into each other's eyes.

"Eh... Hackett... sorry for my behavior when you announced your pregnancy. I wasn't mad or anything negative with you, it was just that it took by surprise that men could get pregnant. Heller already told me how is it possible. You should know that during elementary school I was always distracted and my notes weren't too good. And then, I specialized in animals and plants, and not in humans. So I was ignorant of that fact until now. I apologize if I made you felt sad and angry." Mijail apologized to his brother, he knew that he might have ruined Hackett's mood at the moment.

Hackett looked at his little brother, and a smile appeared on his soft lips. He hugged Mijail.

"So that was what happened, I'm happy to hear that you are not disgusted with me, but, are you happy about me having a child?" Hackett hadn't heard what's the true feelings of Mijail towards the news.

"Of course I´m happy and excited to have a nephew," Mijail smiled and hugged back Hackett.

"That's good to hear, well, I'm going I have more people to greet at the party" Hackett opened the door and left.

Mijail stayed for a while, thinking again about the differences between his other world and the one he began to live in.

Then, one hand appeared in front of him and covered his eyes while another one covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
