5: Please Don't Kill It

MacKenzie's POV:

(These events take place 2 months after the last chapter).

I woke up and started to get ready for school. My head was hurting badly but I didn't want to take off from school. I took a short shower and wore my grey shirt and dark blue pants. Then I threw on my black jacket. But I started to feel weird in my stomach. I went to the bathroom and vomited everything that I have eaten since last night. I got up and walked out of the bathroom but felt dizzy so I quickly sat down at my study table's chair. I decided to call Vince.

I picked my phone and dialed his number. " Mornin' Kenzie," he said cheerfully. " Mornin' Vince " I replied in a tired voice. " Hey what happened? " he asked with slight concern. " My head was hurtin' and I threw up. Plus, I feel very dizzy " I replied. " Stay in your room. I would soon come with the healer " he said after a little bit of silence. (Healer is the term for a doctor that Xiyan people say). I hung up and laid on my bed. I hated headaches and stomach sicknesses.

After some time, Vince came with our family healer Ghana. She was a white-haired old woman in her 50s. I smiled at her weakly and she smiled back. " How's my sweetpea," she asked. She used to call me 'sweetpea' ever since I was a young girl. " Not much fine, I think so, ' I replied. She smiled and sat beside me. " Let's give you a check-up ". After a short check-up, she told Vince that there was nothing to worry about as it was just a small case of indigestion. He nodded and then she said, " I wanted to talk about some ladies' stuff with Kenzie". Vince shook his head at the word 'ladies stuff' and left.

Ghana looked at me with worry. " Kenzie, you have lost your virginity, right? " she asked. I looked at her shocked. " How d-do you kn-now? " I asked. She leaned closer to me and said, " You are pregnant ". I looked at her in disbelief. " Y-you are... joking, right? " I asked nervously. " Why would I joke, sweetpea? " she replied. I looked here and there. What would Vince and the others say? How would Dad deal with this all?

Suddenly, the door to my bedroom opened and Vince came in. " I heard that, " he said calmly. After him, Dad came in too. " Me too, " Dad said. I and Vince searched Dad's face for disappointment. But there was none. Dad sat beside me and said, " Vince has told me about everything, Kenzie. It's not your fault, my love ". I smiled at him as tears welled up in my eyes. I had been weeping a lot lately. I hugged him and mumbled thanks. We pulled apart and he kissed my forehead. " Rest Well ". And left. Before leaving, Vince said, " Kenzie, Please don't kill it ". I nodded and smiled. He left too. But the question arises,

WHY DID VINCE BREAK OUR PROMISE???

Vince's POV:

Kenzie hung up and I dismissed the Spy Master. I stayed there in silence for 5 minutes. Thinking what would we do if my suspicion becomes true. I suspected that Kenzie's pregnant. Well, that's what happened to me and Gia. So it could happen to her. Besides, it wasn't her fault. Just like it wasn't Gia's that I fell in love with her and kidnapped her. I massaged my head. If she was pregnant, Dad deserved to know.

I got up and left my office. I went to Dad's office (which was in the same building) and knocked on the door. "Come in " his cold voice replied. I entered. He looked up from the heap of files. " Oh, it's you " his voice softened a bit. " Hi, Dad," I said. I guess I was more nervous than I thought. All of a sudden, Dad left the files and looked straight at me. " Vince, you know that I am your father and I sense it when you are nervous," he said softly, " Tell me what is it? ". " Well..." I said and started explaining everything. A to Z. After I finished, he nodded and said, " Ghana will meet us at the gate of the mansion. Let's go ". I nodded and we left. We spent the car ride in silence.

We soon got to the mansion, seeing Ghana standing at the gate. We got off the car and took Ghana to Kenzie's room. When we were about to go in, Dad said, " I will stay here ". I nodded, puzzled but still went inside. Kenzie smiled at Ghana weakly and she smiled back. " How's my sweetpea," she asked. She used to call Kenzie 'sweetpea' ever since we all were children. Kenzie has always loved to play with fire. " Not much fine, I think so, " Kenzie replied. Ghana smiled and sat beside Kenzie. " Let's give you a check-up ". After a short check-up, she told me that there was nothing to worry about as it was just a small case of indigestion. I nodded, even though I could tell by her eyes that she was lying but I let it slip. Then she said, " I wanted to talk about some ladies' stuff with Kenzie". I shook his head at the word 'ladies stuff' and left.

Out Dad was standing. He whispered, " Stand here and listen ". I did as he told me. Soon enough I heard Ghana say, " Kenzie, you have lost your virginity, right? ". " How d-do you kn-now? " Kenzie's fear-filled voice asked. She said, her voice barely loud than a whisper, " You are pregnant ". I didn't hear anything else as my head was throbbing. Silvio's 'what you do comes back to you' theory was true after all. I did the exact same with Gia and now it happened with my own sister. " Let's go inside " Dad whispered. I nodded and went in.

" I heard that, " I stated calmly. As Dad joined us. " Me too, " Dad said. I searched Dad's face for disappointment. But there was none. Dad sat beside Kenzie and said, " Vince has told me about everything, Kenzie. It's not your fault, my love ". I took my phone and started recording the scene. Kenzie hugged him and mumbled thanks. They pulled apart and he kissed her forehead. " Rest Well ". And left. Before leaving, I shot Kenzie a playful smirk and said, " Kenzie, Please don't kill it ". She nodded and I left for the office too. I can't deny that I was excited. After all,

I WAS GOIN' TO BECOME AN UNCLE...
