Pregnancy Arc — Chapter 2: "Section E Finds Out." 👶🍽️
---
Dinner at Jay and Keifer's house was supposed to be peaceful.
That was their first mistake.
Inviting Section E was the second.
---
"WHY DOES YOUR HOUSE LOOK THIS EXPENSIVE?" Blaster yelled the second he walked in.
"Because unlike you, some of us have jobs," Keifer replied immediately.
"RUDE."
---
Within five minutes:
- Mayo was already eating before dinner started
- Felix somehow broke a coaster
- Rory was touching decorations he wasn't supposed to touch
- And David was judging Keifer's entire kitchen setup
---
Jay walked in holding drinks carefully.
Immediately—
everyone went quiet.
---
Cin narrowed his eyes.
"…Why are you glowing?"
Jay froze slightly.
"Excuse me?"
"You look suspiciously healthy," Kit added.
"And softer," Eren said casually.
David blinked.
"…Did you gain weight?"
Silence.
Dead silence.
---
Jay slowly turned toward him.
Keifer stood up immediately.
"Wrong sentence," he informed calmly.
David panicked instantly. "NO WAIT THAT SOUNDED BAD."
"YOU THINK?" Yuri sighed.
---
Jay narrowed her eyes dramatically.
"I'm going upstairs."
"She's emotional," Mayo whispered loudly.
"I CAN STILL HEAR YOU."
---
The boys watched her disappear upstairs.
Then slowly—
all eyes turned toward Keifer.
---
Silence.
Long silence.
Then:
"…Bro," Blaster whispered.
Keifer sighed deeply.
"…She's pregnant."
---
Absolute chaos.
---
"WHAT?!"
"NO WAY."
"I KNEW IT."
"THAT'S WHY SHE'S GLOWING."
"DAVID CALLED A PREGNANT WOMAN FAT—"
"I SAID SORRY!"
---
Cin actually looked emotional.
"Wait… seriously?"
Keifer nodded slowly.
And despite the teasing—
his expression softened instantly.
"Yeah."
---
That shut everyone up for a second.
Because suddenly—
it felt real.
Jay.
Keifer.
A baby.
---
Then Blaster ruined the moment immediately.
"BRO YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DAD."
"I'm aware."
"THAT'S TERRIFYING."
---
Yuri laughed quietly while David looked genuinely stressed.
"…Do we become uncles now?"
"You already act old enough," Felix replied.
---
Meanwhile Upstairs
Jay sat on the bed dramatically eating chips.
Still offended.
---
The door opened slowly.
Keifer peeked inside cautiously.
"…Are you still mad?"
"Yes."
"Even at me?"
"You share DNA with stupid people now."
"That's not how friendship works."
---
Jay tried not to laugh.
Failed immediately.
---
Keifer smiled slightly before sitting beside her carefully.
"They're excited."
"I know."
Another pause.
Then softer:
"…I'm excited too."
That changed everything.
---
Jay looked down at her stomach quietly.
Still early.
Still strange.
Still unbelievable.
---
Keifer gently rested a hand over hers.
Then—
very seriously—
"We need names."
Jay blinked. "Right now?"
"Yes."
"We don't even know the gender."
"We prepare for both."
---
Jay immediately regretted agreeing.
---
The Baby Name Disaster
Keifer opened his notes app.
Jay already looked concerned.
---
"For a girl," he started confidently, "Caretaker."
Silence.
Jay stared at him.
"…What?"
"Caretaker," he repeated proudly. "Strong. Elegant. Powerful."
"That sounds like a job position."
"It sounds cool."
"It sounds employed."
---
Keifer ignored her completely.
"And for a boy—Watcher."
Jay looked horrified.
"Watcher?!"
"Yes."
"That sounds like a haunted child."
"It sounds mysterious."
"It sounds concerning."
---
Keifer looked personally offended now.
"You don't understand vision."
"You don't understand babies."
---
Jay snatched the phone dramatically.
"Fine. My turn."
Keifer crossed his arms. "Go ahead."
---
Jay thought for a second.
Then smiled proudly.
"…Moonlight."
Keifer blinked once.
"No."
"What do you mean no?"
"That child will get bullied."
---
Jay gasped dramatically.
"Okay then—Rain."
"Sounds like weather."
"Sky."
"Still weather."
"Cloud."
"JAY."
---
She fell backward onto the bed laughing.
"This is impossible."
Keifer sighed deeply beside her.
"We are not naming our child Watcher and Cloud."
"You suggested WATCHER FIRST."
"That's different."
"It's literally not."
---
Downstairs = Worse Chaos
Unfortunately—
Section E overheard everything.
---
Blaster burst into the room crying laughing.
"WATCHER?!"
"BRO IS NAMING A BABY LIKE A MARVEL CHARACTER."
"It's STRONG," Keifer defended emotionally.
"It's TRAUMATIZING," David replied.
---
Cin sat beside Jay shaking his head.
"You two should not be trusted with naming rights."
"Agreed," Yuri added immediately.
---
Then suddenly—
Mayo looked at Jay carefully.
"…You happy?"
The room softened slightly at that.
Jay blinked.
Then smiled quietly.
"…Yeah."
A real smile.
Soft.
Warm.
Comfortable.
---
Keifer looked at her instantly.
And just like always—
the noise faded a little.
---
Because somehow—
between the chaos, the teasing, the bad baby names, and the loud people filling their house—
this felt like family.
---
Messy.
Annoying.
Too loud.
But theirs.
---
And honestly?
Neither of them would trade it for anything.
