CHAPTER 7

~PETE POV~

3 months has passed and it was really a roller coaster ride for us, me and Kao and of course together with our baby. Our life has been better although we encounter some ups and downs with our starting relationship. I feel so blissful together with him and I cannot give up right now.

These wonderful three months of staying with Kao and taking care of him and our baby was tiring but fulfilling. It was his first trimester and he was very delicate for his morning sickness, his dizziness and nausea was making my heart weak, because he keeps on vomiting that we need him to put on the bed rest so that he will not have a miscarriage. He keeps on whining that he wants to go out but he obliged to stay at home so that the baby condition would not be on risk. I guess he was entering on his second trimester because his morning sickness was almost gone.

It was end of the month that we were invited at the mansion for the Engagement of P'Beam, he was Kao's cousin. Kao and Kai consider P'Beam as an older brother because they were close to him and he was an only child. The three of them were living together with their grandparents since high school, because their parents work hard. P'Beam was nice with me but I was still scared to him especially when he puts on his cold demeanor, it was hard to gained his trust for his little brother he was even scarier than Grandpa Xander.

We arrived at the mansion and we were greeted by our families and I can see that the banquet was so full, and I guess these event was big. We came to chat with P'Beam and his friend and I was surprised that my cousin P'Kit was one of his friend.

"Sawadee P'Beam, P'Pha, P'Kit" Kao greet them first and I also 'wai' at them

"Sawadee Nongs" they greet us also

"Long time no see P'Kit, I never knew you were friends with P'Beam" I greet my cousin

"Yeah, we were actually BFF since high school." P'Kit answer

"Sawadee, it was a small world indeed, I never taught that my cousin Forth would marry one of my bestfriend" I heard P'Pha said

"Oi Pha, stop that daddy tone of yours" P'Kit said to him and we all laugh.

"Ai Kao, how are you coping up?" P'Beam asked his cousin

"I am much better P, the morning sickness was starting to fade" he answer shyly.

"Don't be shy Kao, and tell me if this stupid cousin of mine make troubles, I gonna make sure that I beat the living daylights with him" P'Kit said to Kao.

"Thank you P" Kao said smiling

"Oi, I am good to you" I said to him while scratching my non itchy head and they just all laugh at me. We were casually chatting when Kai and Xandee joined us.

"Kao!" -Kai called his brother and hug him, after her Xandee hug also Kao.

"I was looking for you, Wayo, Hailey and Aria wants to see you" Kai said to his brother.

"Maybe later Kai, we just got here and we are chatting with P's" Kao answer.

"Oh sorry P's we didn't see you there" Kai and Xandee 'wai' at them politely.

"It's okay Kai, just joined us, the more the merrier" P'Beam said and they joined us.

"I heard that the three of you would like to take up Civil Engineering Pete, Kao and Xandee, am I right?" P'Kit asked us.

"Yes P, they will take up Civil Engineering while me was Business" Kai answered for us.

"Are you serious?" P'Kit asked

"Let them be, besides there was still one more year for them to think" P'Pha said

"Yeah let them be" P'Beam said and the three of them laugh.

They were laughing so evilly that when you look at them they resemble our three head of the family, our grandfathers. Geezz.. It make me shiver. I focus on Kao and asked what he needed, he said that he want some food so I stand up to take some food for him. When I stand I felt someone back hugged me and I was startled so I detached myself to whoever it is and when I look I was surprised. How?!

"Luke?! How?! Why are you here?!" I was stunned but still asked him and I can sense that our P's stand up also.

"Why?! Don't you miss me?" he answer me with a smirk.

"NO! We are over since the day you left and take advantage on me!" I snarl at him and I can hear some clicking tongue from my back I guess it was Xandee.

"I didn't leave you Peter, you know that I love you right, it's just I have my reasons" Luke said

"I don't fucking care about your reasons, get out of here before I asked the guards to drag you out" I was still furious on what he did to me, and he was the reason why Kao have an accident.

"No I won't leave unless you come back to me" Luke said and I was about to punch him when Kao held me.

"Stop it Pete, don't punch him he was just provoking you" Kao said to me.

"Ohoi, look whose here, another bitch of Peter? I know that he was gay or bisexual but his standard was high, but its new to me that his taste become so low" Luke said with a smug face and that's it he earn a fist on his face, not from me but from P'Beam and it was a hard punch.

"Never insult my brother if you want to live" P'Beam said, P'Pha and P'Kit was holding him to stop hurting Luke. Now we are making some commotions here.

"Peter, you chose that ugly guy over me?" Luke try to said something after he compose himself again but now it was P'Pha who punch him and Luke already kissing the floor.

"You son of bitches! You think Pete was high and mighty, well I tell you that he was even a manizer!" Luke shout and it was P'Kit who punch him next.

"Dare to speak something bad about my cousin! You jerk!" he said after he hit Luke.

"Ignore him P's he's lying and not worth our time, guards take him!" I said to our men and I saw Luke try to escape to them but failed he was pinned to the floor.

"You whore! You ruined my plans!" Luke shout at Kao

"Dare to speak something bad, knowing it was your fault that he suffer from those injuries" I heard Kai burst out in anger and confront Luke.

"He was the one that cause my injuries?" I heard Kao asked.

"Ohh, you didn't know? Peter never told you what really happen that night?" It was Luke who answer him. I was about to pull him but he swat my hand and came forward to Luke who was pinned on the floor.

"Let me asked him Pete" Kao said to me and I just look at him and nod.

~KAO POV~

"What happen that night?" I asked this guy who is apparently Pete's ex. I was happy with Pete all those 3 months but I still have questions in my mind.

"Peter was chasing me that night, and it's you who came across my car and BAM! And I thought you were dead already, so I switch our places so that they cannot catch me. Still they find me and it's because of you all of my plans have been ruined by you!" Luke said to me without a remorse in his face.

"Pete is it true? Why? Why you didn't tell me what really happen?" I asked Pete. That night I remember I was so happy and then the next thing I know I was in their mess.

"I'm sorry Kao, I was planning to tell you but it can affect your condition" Pate said to me with the guilt on his face.

"You didn't tell me because of my condition?! Pete! You know that I deserve to know the truth!" I shout at him and he was trying to pacify me. All these time I believe it was an accident, I never thought that I was caught up with an ex-lover quarrel. I don't want these things.

"I'm sorry Kao, but I was on Pete into these matter. We all know that it can affect your condition right now" -my twin sister Kai said to me and I was shocked that they already know it.

"You know! so that was so easily for you to accept what happen to me? What about my feelings!?" I burst out my anger on her.

"Sorry Kao, we just want to protect you" Kai said to me and I just glare at her. I looked into Pete

"You?! do you even love me?! Or is it the guilt that you have so you choose to marry me huh?! Answer me!" I shout at him exasperated, he looks stunned and become quiet

"You know what... let's end these charade. In fact there was never an us from the very start." - I stated and all of them was stunned and looking at me.

"No Kao, listen..." -Pete said but I didn't let him finish what he was saying.

"No Pete you listen! I will keep my baby if you want to see him you can see him but don't expect me to be your partner!" I was mad at him, I didn't care if everybody heard what I said.

"What do you mean?" Pete was still confused

"There would be no marriage going to happen and that is final!" I said to him straight in his eyes

"No Kao... please don't..." he begged me and he kneel in front of me holding my hands, but I swat his hands away.

"Peter come on, leave him. What a slut having a baby at early age, I bet you just only using the baby so that Peter would marry you" - it was Luke gaining his composure, and trying to pull Pete but Pete just pushed him away.

~PETE POV~

"He was not a slut! And that unborn child was mine!" I shout at him and I can see that they were stunned

"Your joking right, he was a man and you just met him. How come?!" Luke was dumbfounded

"It's the truth!" - I said with a firm voice

"You! such a slut to lure my man into your trap! I would not forgive you" I was surprised for his outburst and he attack Kao and pushed him making lost his balance and felled on the floor.

"Stop it! Get this man out of here" - I punch him and shout to our guards to caught Luke and put him away.

"Kao, are you alright?" I crouch down and help him but he was in pain

"The Baby" Kao muttered to me and I can see the blood coming from his pants. I panicked.

"Oh my, quick prepare the car" I shouted to our guards and I carried Kao bridal style and hurriedly get inside to the waiting car

"To the hospital quick" I order to the driver and I looked back at Kao

"Please hang on Love, I'm here" I said to him and kiss his forehead

"Pete, it hurts" Kao mumbles

"Quickly P!" I said to the driver.

As they reach the hospital Pete brought Kao and the nurses assist them and rushed Kao to the ER room. While Kao being treated Pete was furiously pacing back and forth in front of the door when their family came.

"How is he?" Kai asked me when they reach me.

"They were still on the ER room, God please save them" I said to no one and I slump on the chair next to the door praying that Kao and our baby was okay.

"Please be strong son" Kao's mother said and embrace me.

"I'm sorry auntie this is all my fault" I cry to her

"No son, don't say that your father will be here soon after they deal with Luke" I heard my mom came to me and hug me also.

"Kao was strong, believe in him son" I heard uncle Khaotung said, and then the door at ER open.

"Where is the patient family?" The doctor asked.

"We are, how's Kao doctor? How's the baby? Can we see him?" I bombarded him with questions.

"Calm down young man, Kao was okay and also the baby, good thing that he was rush here earlier, because if you were waited any longer you could have lost both of them" the doctor said

"Thank you doctor" Pete breathes out. Kao and their baby was safe.

"In a few minutes he will be moved to his own room, but I suggest that only one person at a time can go in for now. He cannot handle too much stress" the doctor said to us.

"Thank you doctor, I will arrange the needed papers" uncle Khaotung said and leave together with the doctor.

"We will be waiting outside the room when you need anything son" my mom said and leave.

"Thank you mom" I bid them goodbye as I enter to the room.

I spend the night waiting for him to wake up. In the morning I see him stir before opening his eyes. He looks around adjusting to his surroundings. After a few minutes he move his hands to his stomach.

"It's okay love. Our baby is fine" I said to him smiling before I grab his hand and kiss it.

"Thank God" he mutter in a croak voice.

"The doctor said that after some tests, and it shows some good signs you will be discharged later" I said to him.

"Can you give me some water" he asked and I obliged and give him bottled water, I put on a straw so he can sip easier.

"Thanks, you can leave I guess my family can take care of me" I heard him but he was not looking at me, he was staring at the ceiling.

"Kao, please not like this, and not this time" I softly said to him.

"Okay, I give you time until I get discharge later, and maybe Kai can get my stuffs in your apartment" Kao said to me and I grab his hand.

"No! please... stay with me..." I beg to him. He finally look at me.

"Pete, I don't want to bind you into me because we have a child, you were free to do what you want in your life, we are still young" Kao said to me and I was stunned

"No Kao... please don't do this... stay with me... even if you don't want to get married with me... just don't leave me..." I start to get teary. What if he don't want me in his life anymore? How can I prove myself to him?

"Okay let's just do this setup... I stay in your apartment until I pop our child... and then after me and our baby will be going back to my parents house... you can just visit there" Kao said to me.

"Why? Why can't you stay together with me?" I whined to his idea.

"Are you nuts?! who will take care the baby when we go to college? We just barely finishing high school by going home schooling because Lala owns the school" Kao nagged at me.

"We can hire a nanny... please" I said to him trying to persuade him to live with me.

"Yes we will hire a nanny, but I don't like other people taking care of my child. My mom said she was willing to help me because her company send her to work from home for 10 months, and it will start after I gave birth" Kao said to me and I was amaze how he handle the situation.

"Okay love, I agree your thinking was way more rational than mine" I said to him smiling.

"Don't call me love, we are not a couple" he scold me but I can see that he is blushing.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, just rest for a while so you gain your energy back so that later you can be discharge" I said to him and he just go back to sleep.

I hope to stay with him like this forever and I was praying that everything will be alright. Maybe marriage can wait, I need to gain his trust and I hope that he would love me back. I will do my best, I know we were meant to be.
