"If you feeling better after the doctors, maybe we can stop by and get you food somewhere." He whispered to her. Soon enough her name was called, and he helped her into the doctor's office.

"Okay." Marissa whispered, nodding against his chest. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to hold anything down, though she hoped so, she needed to eat something. Mari jumped a bit at her name, her heart pounding a mile a minute. She was suddenly very nervous to hear what the doctor would have to say. "I'm scared." She finally whispered to Kavi, a slight tremble in her voice.

Kavi wrapped an arm around her protectively, "It's okay." He promised her, "I'll be right here the whole time." He held onto her hand as the nurse took her blood pressure and temperature, as she wrote something down and then brought them into a room. "Wait right here." She told them, and Kavi brought a chair right next to bed so he could stay next to Marissa.

Marissa nodded, though she found it hard to keep the trembling down as the nurse took her temperature and blood pressure. She was grateful when she could finally climb on to the bed to sit, keeping her hold on Kavi's hand. It was more like her lifeline at the moment, she felt like if she let go she would promptly panic. As she was on the verge of doing now. "What if something's wrong?" She couldn't help but ask. "What if I'm dying or...or worse?"

Kavi raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a slightly amused smile. "I don't really know what worse than dying but uh... I'm sure everything will be okay." He assured her. Soon, the doctor came in, looking over the notes from the nurse and then running a couple tests. "Well, I have a theory, but I'd like you to have an ultrasound just in case." He told her. Suddenly, Kavi recalled another point in time when he remembered an ultrasound being necessary. Oh... My... God... She can't be! He thought, his eyes widening. "An... an ultrasound?" He stuttered out to the doctor. "You don't mean to suggest she might be... pregnant...?" He asked, barely able to even breathe the word.

Ultrasound...? Judging from Kavi's reaction, she knew that couldn't be good. And then..."Pregnant?" Marissa whispered, turning widened eyes from the doctor to Kavi. "I'm pregnant?" I knew it! It is worse than death! Marissa felt worry, and then fear begin to close her throat, despite the fact that she hadn't yet had the ultrasound and they didn't know for sure she was pregnant.

"I don't know for sure yet, but it seems like it." The doctor explained, telling them to go to the laboratory. "Assuming she is pregnant, what can we do about the morning sickness?" Kavi asked the doctor, clenching onto Marissa's hand. "If this is the case, then I will have the nurse give you some brochures that can help you ease it a little." The doctor explained, then excused himself and headed out. Kavi felt like he couldn't breathe-every time he tried it would get caught in his throat. How could he let this happen to him twice? He felt like an idiot. If only he had used a condom, if only he had been more careful... So many thoughts went through his mind. He managed out a sigh and looked to Marissa. "You okay to move to the lab?" He asked her, still worried about how she was feeling.

Marissa bit down on her bottom lip in order to stop the sudden rush of tears. This wasn't fair, to her or Kavi. While she now had a home with people who actually cared about her, Marissa didn't know the first thing about raising a baby. She was definitely not ready to be pregnant. And she was sure Kavi hadn't wanted anymore kids, not now anyway. He already had Kyon to deal with, he didn't need another baby to add onto his plate. Marissa couldn't help but feel that'd she'd managed to make his life way more complicated than it should be. Slowly she slid off the bed, giving him a small nod in answer. The guilt and fear she was feeling managed to override any pain or sickness.

Kavi's mind was reeling as he led her to the laboratory, but her silence and sudden look of guilt didn't go unnoticed by Kavi. "Hey," He told her, squeezing her arm comfortingly. "Don't worry." He assured her. "If you are... pregnant," he seemed to choke on the word, "We'll figure something out." He pretended to get a good idea, then looked to Marissa with a smile, trying to see if a joke would make her feel any better. "I know! We'll make Akio work two jobs!" He said with a laugh.

A tear managed to escape Marissa's eye, sliding down her cheek before she quickly brushed it away and nodded, even if she didn't fully believe him. His little joke put a tiny smile on her face, which disappeared almost as soon as they reached the lab. "You won't leave me?" She whispered. Her grip on Kavi's hand tightened a bit as she sat on the bed there, fear once again taking its spot as the dominant expression.

"Never." Kavi breathed as soon as she asked the question. "I'll be by your side no matter what happens in this room." He assured her, squeezing her hand.

Marissa let out a shaky breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, giving a tiny nod. Her heart was still pounding, and she was still terrified, but Marissa felt a bit better knowing that Kavi wouldn't abandon her. Though, Marissa admittedly felt silly for ever thinking that he would. She placed her other hand on his, biting her lip as she waited for the doctor's directions.

Once the doctor came into the room with the ultrasound equipment, Kavi felt like he was noticing he hadn't been breathing for... ever, really. But he could only hold his breath as the doctor instructed Marissa to lay down. This all seemed so familiar to him, but he could only stare wide-eyed as the doctor prepped Marissa for the scan. He watched the screen as if it were his favorite show. Sure enough, after the gel was put on and the doctor began the ultrasound, there it was. Kavi bit his lip. Was he really dumb enough to let this happen to himself twice? "Just as I thought, right there." The doctor spoke, pointing to a little blob maybe the size of a peanut. He smiled to them, not seeming to sense the air of tension that formed in the room. "Did you two want a picture?" He asked them. Kavi could only look to Marissa, pale-faced as he raised an eyebrow.

Marissa felt her heart pounding in her chest as she laid down and allowed the doctor to prepare her for the ultrasound. She winced when the gel was put on, not expecting it to be so cold, and stared at the screen wide-eyed. Tears filled her eyes as the doctor pointed out the tiny blob, proof that there was in fact a baby growing inside of her. "T-t..." Marissa paused, swallowing. "That's the baby?" She looked over at Kavi when he look to her, the paleness of his face not going by her. She quickly wiped the tears away, not entirely sure if she wanted a picture or not. "I-I don't know..." She whispered.

Kavi swallowed hard before rubbing Marissa's hand. "There's always next time we come in." He looked to the doctor, "I think we'll pass on the picture for right now." He told the doctor, who nodded and began putting away the equipment and giving Marissa some paper towels to wipe the gel off her stomach. Kavi returned his attention to Marissa and attempted to give her a comforting smile, but with his own nerves it only came out awkward. "We'll figure this out," He assured her, whispering softly to her. "Don't worry."
