Part 11
~Truth~
Mello had to admit that there might be something more going on. He had felt off the past few days, more so that when the abdominal soreness had begun. It wasn't anything major, just some fatigue, but there was no reason for the fatigue. He wasn't, and hadn't been, doing anything strenuous to have caused it; he was even getting more than his usual amount of sleep.
He might have let it slide a few more days or even weeks but he had promised Matt, and the redhead had been gracious enough so far not to jump the gun and call on Watari when the first symptoms had started. But Mello knew when to give in.
"Hey Matt... can you ask Watari to call the physician?" he winced as Matt's eyes immediately focused on him, he could tell even with that awful plastic covering his eyes being in the way. Matt didn't say anything and instead simply left the room; but somehow that was worse.
Mello thought waiting for Matt to return was the worst part, even worse then pretending nothing was wrong when he came back, pretended that they weren't waiting for Watari to call them down once the doctor had arrived.
As it turned out the wait wasn't long.
The same man was brought back as he already knew the odd circumstances that surrounded Mello so there was no need to waste time explaining it. When everything began the 'normal' questions were asked, such as 'when did the soreness start' and 'have you been doing anything strenuous to cause the fatigue'. Mello had no problem answering them but didn't see how it helped as the physician still drew his blood and took his temperature and blood pressure.
"Your temperature is running a little high." the man commented and wrote it down, as though he would forget it within the next five minutes. Mello couldn't understand it though, he didn't feel sick, at least not the kind of sick that accompanied a fever or high temperature.
He was given a gesture to seat himself, as they had to wait for the blood test results, so Mello took a seat next to Matt who was the only other soul in the room other than Watari despite L and Near knowing.
Matt gave him a nudge and held out his PSP. Mello didn't really want to play, not having the strong pull towards gaming like Matt had, but short of counting the invisible cracks in the ceiling or bashing his head against the wall he had nothing else to pass the time.
He gave Matt a small shrug and couldn't help the way his lips quirked in genuine amusement as Matt grinned at him and began explaining the little necessities of the contraption. By the time the doctor came back in Mello had died far too many times to count.
Mello felt his heart drop to his stomach at the oddly nervous and disbelieving look the doctor had. That could not bode well at all.
"I'm going to run a ah, specific test to make sure the results are accurate... however I think they will come back the same. I just need to ask you something I should have earlier. Are you sexually active? Or rather, have you been since you started your period?"
Mello felt his face flush and didn't know how to answer. Matt was right beside him but if it were important to his health...
"I was allowed to go out a few weeks ago and I got drunk, and woke up a little sore, so it's possible..." he trailed off and hoped to God he didn't look suspicious to Matt.
The doctor looked even more uncomfortable with his newly acquired smile and Mello couldn't help the way dread flooded his system. What was wrong with him?
"Well I suppose congratulations are in order. Because according to this, you're pregnant."
Mello couldn't help himself, he laughed. Because that was complete bullshit, right? "Really, what's wrong?"
The man still had that same nervous look, only now it held something akin to sympathy. "For now all I can give you is one of the home pregnancy tests if you want proof while I run the other test again. But I can guarantee you, it's no joke."
Mello swallowed harshly. Pregnant? He was pregnant? How the fuck was that possible? No it wasn't, he was a guy. Men could not have babies.
But the traitor voice inside his head supplied that men couldn't have uterus's or have periods either. Mello however, refused to believe it.
"Take this and go into the bathroom, the directions are self explanatory." a pink box was shoved into his hands and he was led to the bathroom, though he hardly paid any attention to any of it until the door was shut and he was left by himself.
Mello stared down at the package in his hands and despite himself, opened it. His hands shook slightly as he pulled the test from its confines. It was ridiculous right? All it would prove was that the doctor had messed up... but if that were true, then why the hell was he so damn scared?
The directions were simple, pee on the test strip which was almost completely encased in the plastic, then set it aside for three minutes and view. One line for negative, two for , and utterly nerve wracking.
Mello did as directed and set the small innocent looking tube on the sink and leaned against the counter, arms crossed and eyes open defiantly. Another thought struck him as he waited, wasn't it too early to tell if he was theoretically pregnant? Didn't you have to be further along?
He had never paid much attention to that part of their health studies, it wasn't necessary. He had never had any interest in girls, nor had he any interest in getting anyone pregnant, so what the hell did he need that information for? But now Mello wished he had paid more attention...not that it would have helped him.
The doctor seemed to know what he was talking about with the exception of assuming his test results hadn't been corrupted. Mello shifted anxiously. He had been counting off the minutes, rather obscurely, in the back of his mind and was certain that it had been at least three.
Mello grabbed the test from the counter expecting, hoping, to see one pink line only to freeze in spot. It was wrong, wasn't it? The test couldn't be correct... There had to be another explanation for it, right? Couldn't tumors or something set the test off?
He didn't even believe that himself.
Mello slid to the floor, test slipping through his fingers and clattering to the tile below. The double pink lines stared tauntingly up at him; he felt sick just looking at it. With a deep breath Mello pulled his legs up to his chest and closed his eyes, forehead resting against his knees.
He was pregnant.
With Matt's baby.
What the fuck was he going to do now?
