Ghost x Reader: Looking Out For Me

116. Bed talk

Ghost insisted on doing the dishes and set me to relax.

He's probably talking to Kat.

I heard my phone buzz and shut my eyes, massaging my forehead.

I know it's Konig with more evidence.

I don't want to see it.

After a few minutes, I checked.

It was blurred out nudes.

But I could still kinda make it out.

There were more texts but I only looked through three photos and then deleted the page and sat on the bed, holding my head and crying quietly.

"Hey, what's wrong!?" Ghost sat down next to me in the bed and pulled my hands away from my face.

Crap.

"Nothing!" I laughed. "Nothing!"

"YN, talk to me. You can tell me anything. What's wrong?"

"I'm just nervous. What if I can't get pregnant? Or what if I lose it again?"

Don't lie.

Just confront him.

But I don't want him to leave me.

I don't want him to leave Kiara.

"Oh, YN, no... don't think that way. We're gonna be great parents and I'm going to make sure you're okay. I'll keep my family safe."

"Okay. Why don't we get started?" I wiped the tears from my face.

"No, I think you need a break today. If you're feeling better tomorrow, we'll start trying again. Okay?" He kissed my forehead and I laid on his chest.

A month later

I sat down next to Ghost in the bar.

All 141 and Konig came out to catch up.

"YN, why are you drinking water? Let me buy you a Scotch." Soap offered and I blushed a bit, refusing to make eye contact with Konig.

"No, it's okay. We're trying for a baby so I can't."

"Ohhh!" Soap and Gaz giggled.

Price set down his cup and smiled while Konig choked on his drink.

"Who's idea was it?" Konig asked casually.

"Mine." I said and sipped my water.

"How often are you trying?" Soap grinned.

"Shut it, Johnny." Ghost glared.

"Why don't I get everyone another drink. YN, why don't you help me?" Koing got up.

"Um, I'm kinda really tired, Konig..."

"I'll go." Gaz stood up and left with the Austrian who gave me a look.

"What was that about?"

Soap must have seen the look.

My stomach churned.

I know why he wanted to get me alone.

But I can't do that today.

I can't.

I'm always exhausted, but I can't sleep at night.

"I'll be back. I'm going to the restroom."

"I'll come with you." Soap stood up and we walked towards the bathroom.

"Are you okay?"

I looked at Soap confused.

"Hm?"

"You're not your usual self. I'm worried about you."

"I'm okay, Johnny. Kiara is just keeping me up."

"If you ever need a break, you know you can drop her off at base with us, right? Or I can come pick her up."

"Thank you but I can't ask you to do that."

"YN, it's a 10 minute drive. It won't kill me."

I smiled and looked away.

"Thank you Johnny. I appreciate it."

"That's what friends are for."

I smiled and I entered the bathroom.

I pulled out a pregnancy test and looked around the empty bathroom before heading into a stall.

I hid the test and got clean before walking back to the table.

After a few minutes I looked around.

"What happened? What are you looking for?" Gaz asked.

"I think I left my lipstick in the bathroom. I'll be right back.
