"This isn't funny."

"But it is."

"No, it isn't. You're bonkers as hell anyway."

Kole's smile left and he crossed his arms.

"Stop bringing that up."

"You're the one that go us both into this mess in the first place. You're lucky that you only have one."

I was finally able to sit down -what I had been struggling with for the past ten minutes. The five children I was carrying has ballooned over the past three days and I was way bigger than what a normal person would be able to handle. I'd take anything as long as I wasn't vomiting them up.

"I don't understand everything." I looked back over at Kole. "I'm still very confused about who I am; I get flashed of memories but they're all bad. Was I such a bad person?"

I sighed. "You weren't a saint, but neither was I. I did what I did because of drinking and low self-esteem... jealousy. No one is actually sure why you did what you did. Insanity? Covetousness? No one knows except the person you used to be. The only thing that we do know is that you kickstarted all this mess."

"I see... Have you seen your kids yet?"

"I kind of don't want to. The less I know about them, the less attached I'll be."

"You don't want to look at them?"

I sighed. Sure, having kids who love me is a nice theory, but I see how these aliens roll. I've seen how they treat Kasai, Mars, and Max. They want procreation, not adoptive parents.

"I just want to get this nightmare over with. I think I've been punished enough... what use is allowing emotions to get involved?"

"I guess that makes sense... I'd like to see mine. I don't know why, but maybe they'd even let me keep it?"

"Doubtful. The King is an asshole and they wouldn't even leave Max alone, who is like God's gift of dads."

There was a knock on the door and Dr. Market walked in.

"Kole, it's time for you session with Dr. Armiallo."

"Can I skip it? I'm talking with my friend?."

"Sorry, you especially cannot skip your sessions. Doctor's orders."

Kole moaned and got off of the bed as I also tried to get up out of the chair. Dr. Market was nice enough to help me out and I felt a weird movement in my stomach. I moaned, rubbing it, as Dr. Market looked at me in concern.

"You need to have David take a look at you. You haven't even had a proper sonogram since we discovered you had five in there."

"I don't want to... I don't want to see them."

"You don't have to see them if you don't want to, but we need to in order to make sure everything is going well."

I sighed, but I knew they were right. It would be better to be prepared than to be surprised, and with so many inside me there are a lot of things that could go wrong.

"Fine... I'll see you later, Kole."

"Yeah, bye..."

I walked behind Dr. Market as we walked down the hallway and she looked back at me.

"Why don't you want to see the children?"

"Like I told Kole, I've seen what these aliens have done to Max... his poor kid being so fucked up with all the growing and not being jelly and who he's supposed to be... Why would I want that?"
