Chapter 32: The Risk

The couple was waiting for the doctor before them to conclude his entire conversation between him and Yuki's regular doctor. Both doctors worked for two different hospitals, so it might be difficult to transfer the detail. Even Yuki's regular doctor said so, and he suggested Yamato to just create a new medical record for Yuki.

"I have to consider you coming here for the first time, and I need to run tests on you too so that I could provide myself a full record of you. Perhaps, much more detail than your doctor," Yamato ended the phone call and gazed at Yuki. "So, what's your choice?"

The lovers exchanged looks. Both of them were worried of the consequences of Yuki's mysteriously sudden pregnancy. Yuki's previous sexual intercourse never succeeded in impregnating him, but Ryohei the Beta could. It was indeed uncanny because Yuki has done it with various kinds of men, unknowingly Alphas or Beta, yet he has not gotten pregnant.

"I guess your previous experience somehow developed your womb," Yamato propped his chin while staring at the pallid Ryohei. "Omegas tend to react upon the partner's hormone and direct contact, thus helping your female reproductive organs to develop as well. And Ryohei was coming just at the right time. His sperms penetrated you right after your womb was ready enough to sustain a fetus."

"Is it bad, Doctor?" Yuki's hand grazed over Yamato's desk, looking for something he could hold on, "I've never thought I would get pregnant, frankly."

The slight glimpse Ryohei gave to Yuki was witnessed by Yamato. Was the fiance hating the fact?

"From our session today," Yamato purposely emphasized a bit, "The size of your womb has increased since you're carrying twins. But from the result of the blood test and hormone levels, I'm so sorry. Your body still represent you as a man."

"Wh- What does that mean?" Seeing Yuki being timid and scared, Ryohei asked instead.

"Even though you're pregnant, your female hormone is not enough to support the fetuses. Plus, this is your first pregnancy, right?" Yamato read through the biochemical test results in his hands, "Even your basic nutrients are lacking. Your sugar level is so low, as if you're recovering from hypothermia."

The frowning Yuki seemed like thinking hard, but it was actually his attempt to not cry in front of Yamato and Ryohei. They have just received good news four hours ago, and underwent various tests for both of them. Somehow, the results were normal to Ryohei, but not to Yuki. The metabolites of his body almost displayed his unhealthy body state which could put him at risk throughout the pregnancy.

"From the hematological parameters," Yamato switched the papers while explaining, "It shows that some of your red blood cells have burst, and your platelets are declining too."

After minutes of denial silence, Yuki finally uttered, "How? I mean, I've never felt sick all these while. The most excruciating pain I've endured was during the incident between my client's wife and I. Since then, I've fallen sick only due to gastritis or mere fever."

Instantly, Ryohei grasped Yuki's shivering hands, squeezing them gently. Yuki breathed in composure as he disliked treating other people harshly. He could not see how Yamato responded to him, thus he enclosed himself in Ryohei's arm.

"All that I've mentioned are just beginning. It may be asymptomatic for now. You don't even have morning sickness, see? Anything can happen."

"Yamato," Ryohei forgot to address Yamato as Doctor. He knew he has overdone, but he did not seem to care. "We would like to know. It isn't that I'm going to reject my own flesh and blood. But, I want to know whether this pregnancy may harm Yuki or not."

Yuki immediately turned to Ryohei at his side. "Dear, why did you question that?"

Ryohei ducked his head and gulped. He did not want Yuki to hear it, but he was purely troubled by Yuki's current body status. He loved it to be parents of twins, but he was afraid to lose Yuki.

"At this point, I can't tell," Yamato fished out a CD with Yuki's name and identification number on it. He inserted the CD into the CPU according to the slot, and clicked on the appeared icon on the monitor. He moved the monitor and adjusted the position so that Ryohei could view it. "Do you see these dots? These are the fetuses. This one is Yuki's uterus. If you were to compare the normal uterus, you could say the size has enlarged due to the presence of the twins. However, that is all I could say."

Ryohei gazed at the monitor, specifically the dots, for quite some time. Yamato caught Ryohei's threatening tears in his eyes, hence he printed out the sonogram. He then handed it to Ryohei.

"This is for you," Yamato beamed.

At first, Ryohei could not comprehend what Yamato was giving to him. From a glance, he straight away figured it out. It was the sonogram of Yuki, and it shows their twins. Even though they have not taken a humanoid form, the sonogram was more than enough to cause Ryohei's tears streaming down his cheeks unconditionally. Without delay, he tugged Yuki's hand and transferred the sonogram to the blind.

"Here you go, honey," Ryohei's voice was shaking, unsure either in delight or in despair. "These are our soon-to-be children. They are growing inside you."

From a very perplexed face, Yuki bawled his eyes out after touching the sonogram. For the first time, he hated his blindness for hindering him to learn the sonogram. "Do they have faces already, dear?"

"It was just a normal ultrasound, plus you're only three months old," Ryohei gave Yuki a peck on the cheek. "Let's keep this, okay?"

Yuki rubbed his thumbs against the sonogram for a minute before sniffing it inwardly. He stared at it, estimating the distance, and gradually drawing it closer to his eyes so that he could miraculously perceive how his sonogram looked like. Nevertheless, no matter how intense he attempted on seeing, he would not be able to see.

"Dear," Yuki ended up kissing the sonogram with tears rolling down his cheeks, "I want to see our children so bad."

If Yuki's pregnancy meant danger to Yuki, Ryohei would like to coax his lover to abort it. He could not be happier than receiving such shocking news, however he prioritized Yuki's safety. Yuki was his one and only lover, and he could not imagine how he would live without Yuki.

"Doctor, I want to keep these fetuses," Yuki faced towards the startled Yamato who was engrossed watching them, "What should I do to improve myself? Supplements? Exercise? Just tell me, and I will do it," His hand caressed his belly, "I want to be healthy so that I could keep them. I want to meet our babies."
