I smiled at Zakai as I got on my tip-toes and kissed his cheek. I smiled at him as I fingered the bundle I had in my arm and thought about the look he would have on his face when I gave it to him. It was two weeks after Halloween, and I had decided payback was in order.

"What did you get me?" he said excitedly, smiling widely.

"Just a little something special," I said, smiling at him as I handed him the bundle.

"Is this what I think it is?" Zakai said, raising his eyebrow at me.

"Maybe," I said, grinning at him, "open it and find out."

He tore the paper off the small package and sighed and shook his head, "Does it have to be purple and pink?!" he exclaimed.

"Yes!" I said, smiling at him, "you got your favorite colors around my neck, and I got mine around yours. Plus the shirt!" My tail wagged happily behind me as I saw him regard the collar with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He smiled suddenly and looked at me, "You want to put it on me?" he asked me curiously.

I smiled and nodded, taking the shirt from him first and slipping it over his head as he forced his arms through the sleeves and then I took the collar and slipped it around his neck, smiling happily as I saw the pink collar with purple letters spelling my name on his neck.

It looked nice against his white fur. "This is awkward," he said, rubbing a finger under the collar.

I smiled and said, "I know, but you'll get used to it." I grinned, "I did!"

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I love it."

I smiled and pulled a bell out of my pocket and clipped it onto his collar and said, "Good! Cause that stays on too, just like mine."

He sighed as he fingered the purple bell at his neck and said, "Fine."

I smiled and pulled him out of his room and then down the stairs. Raymond looked up and grinned at Zakai and said, "I told you Leo would do something like this."

Gideon looked up from the paper he was reading and grinned, "I didn't know I had TWO sophomore girls."

Zakai punched his father hard on the arm and Gideon chuckled softly, "That almost tickled, son."

Zakai growled and pulled his fist back again. I rubbed my stomach as there was a soft twinge. Zakai slammed his fist into his fathers arm and yelped and put his knuckle into his muzzle and growled softly.

Gideon sighed and said, "That's why you don't punch me. Your scales are nowhere near as hard as mine are."

The twinge came back and was stronger and I winced slightly. No one noticed. "Well," Zakai growled, "don't call me a girl."

I growled when the twinge came back again, putting my arms over my stomach and squeezing tightly, one eye closed. The twinge didn't go away this time.

"Why not?" Samantha said, "I think you'd make a pretty girl."

I whimpered softly and dropped to my knees. Now someone noticed me. "Are you ok Leo?" Raymond asked anxiously, putting a paw on my shoulder.

The twinge grew into a stab of pain, slowly raising until I could swear there was a white hot knife buried in my stomach. I cried out and suddenly Zakai's arms were cradling me against his chest. We were sitting in the backseat of Gideon's car and I could see the hospital slowly approaching.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on Zakai's chest. I lost all sense of time, but I knew Zakai was whispering soft comforts into my ear as he carried me. When I opened my eyes next the pain was gone, and Zakai was staring at me anxiously. When he saw me open my eyes he dropped onto his knees next to the bed and took my paw into his.

"How are you feeling honey?" he said, putting my paw on his cheek and nuzzling it.

"Better," I said. "What happened after I... fainted? I guess."

"Well, we brought you here. The doctor gave you something that knocked you out fully and then he took some X-Rays of your stomach. Four, all spaced fifteen minutes apart. He's looking at them now." Zakai said, kissing my cheek and nuzzling my neck.

After a bit the doctor came back, looking troubled as he looked at the folder of X-rays in his paws. Zakai looked at him anxiously and said, "What's the matter with him?"

"Well," the doctor, Doctor Trasin, started, "what I'm seeing, is four different X-rays."

"Four DIFFERENT X-rays?" Zakai said, gaping at the doctor.

"Well" he said, "not different, more developed."

He put the X-rays over the monitor so they were illuminated and said, "This one was the earliest," he pointed to one, "and this one the latest," he pointed to the last. "What this looks like," he said, "is a womb."

Zakai gaped, "What?"

"It looks like a womb, is forming in Leo. My guess is, is that the changes in his stomach are whats causing him the pain."

"But..." I said, "What? How? I don't get how I can have a womb forming in my stomach."

"Well," he said, "when Raymond turned up to be pregnant, I had assumed he was born with a womb, but looking back on it, I was an idiot for believing that out of five billion people that live on this planet, Raymond would have a womb. I believe, that maybe, it has something to do with Gideon's family."

"But Alec has had sex with Charlie multiple times, and Charlie never got pregnant." Gideon said.

"I have a theory as to that as well," the doctor said, "there were few texts from the days of the ancient dragons that were found, that talked about same-sex couples, specifically male couples, that managed to have children together. It wasn't fully translated, but I saw the translations myself. I think its the fact that you changed."

"But, Zakai's not even a full dragon." Gideon said.

"Maybe hybrids carry the trait too," the doctor said, "either way, Leo is forming a womb, and that is my theory."

Zakai looked at me. The look on his face said that he was angry at himself and he was sorry and I smiled and took his paw into mine, "This is wonderful," I told him. He looked at me for a moment, like he thought I was lying and I made him sit down on the bed next to me and I leaned against him. "Zakai, this is wonderful."

"For you maybe," Zakai said quietly, "but I have to know that I am the one who did something to make you feel pain."

I smiled at him and put my head on his shoulder and said, "I don't care about the pain, hun, it'll be worth it in the end."

He smiled and said, "But you'll still feel it."

"But I'll still be even happier once I see our beautiful baby at the end." I said, smiling as I pulled his head to mine and kissed him. "Because I love you. I would go through anything for you."

He smiled and kissed me back. "There are other people in the room you know," my father said from the doorway. I yipped softly and jumped. I hadn't seen him come in.

I glared at him and said, "Don't scare me like that."

"If you hadn't been looking at Zakai like a deer stuck in headlights, I wouldn't have scared you." my dad said, grinning at me. He looked at the doctor, "What's the matter with him?" he asked.

The doctor rubbed the back of his head with his paw and said, "This might be kind of shocking, and..." he hesitated, "Leo wants to tell you!" He finished quickly.

I glared at him and said, "Thanks a lot, doc."

He blushed and left the room and I sighed and said, "Dad, I recommend you sit down."

"Why?" my dad asked cautiously.

"Because," I said, smiling at him, "I'm more like your little girl then you thought."

He looked even more confused but sat down. "Dad," I started, "according to the doctor, I'm forming a..." I hesitated, "I'm forming a womb."

"What?" my father exclaimed.

"I'm forming a womb," I said, looking at him and smiling, "which means I'm going to be able to get pregnant."

"But... how?!" he said. "I mean, I saw you when you were born, you don't have female parts."

The doctor was back in the room now and said, "I have a theory to that!"

"You have a theory to EVERYTHING don't you?" Zakai said.

"Nope," Dr. Trasin said, grinning, "but I have a theory to a lot of stuff. My guess is that the body is changing so that the male host can be impregnated from the anus."

"Good way to put it doc," I said suddenly, "anyways, after the womb is finished forming, on the doctor's theory," I said, giving doc a look, "I'll be pregnant. With Zakai's child."

My dad's fists clenched and he was glaring at Zakai, Raymond had his paw on his shoulder to stop him from getting up. I put my arm across Zakai's chest. "It's not his fault dad," I said cautiously, "he didn't know."

"How am I supposed to react?" he said, "You're the only living family I have Leo, and now your pregnant! A boy! Even worse at fifteen!"

"Dad!" I said, cutting off the rest of his blabbering, "It's ok, it's not like we won't have help, or anything else."

My dad took a few more deep breaths and then shook his head. "I'll get over it," he said, "eventually."

I smiled and stood up, walking over and sitting in his lap, putting my head on his chest, "You'll get over it now, or I'm not moving."

"Who says I want you to move?" he said, grinning down at me.

"The fact that you won't get any food," I said, smiling up at him, "until I move, is good enough."

My dad shifted his weight and then picked me up and put me down on the hospital bed, "I can still do that."

I smacked his shoulder and he smiled at me and said, "Well, we're leaving so you can get dressed, because I want to go home."

"Can I stay at Zakai's house tonight?" I said, my ears perking up slightly.

My dad smiled and said, "If it's alright with his parents."

I looked at Gideon and Raymond and Raymond smiled and said, "Of course he can."

"Oh great," Gideon said, "ANOTHER mouth to feed."

Raymond slapped his shoulder and said, "Stop complaining. Maybe Zakai will eat less."

Zakai grinned and said, "Yep, I'll only eat three and HALF plates."

Raymond sighed and said, "You're going to be fat."

Zakai smiled and said, "I'll work it off."

My dad sighed and said, "Have fun at Zakai's house kiddo." He kissed my forehead and said, "Be good, and don't do anything minors shouldn't."

I blushed but smiled and said, "Don't worry dad, I will."

He sighed and shook his head at me before leaving. "Step one is complete." Gideon said, grinning.

"Step one?" I said, looking at Gideon.

"Step one towards your dad hating Zakai." Gideon said, grinning, "First! He gets you pregnant. Now, you'd prefer to stay at our house instead of at your own house. You're breaking your father's heart kiddo, congratulations."

I blushed and looked at the door, "He'll get over it. Eventually."

"Time heals everything," Raymond said, smiling, "but don't think that this will be a nightly thing, or even weekly. I'm only letting it happen tonight because of the recent news we've gotten."

I smiled and rubbed my stomach, "Recent wonderful news," I said, smiling and pulling Zakai's lips to mine.
