Christian Alidini - Wednesday, February 5th 

I had to get out of the hotel, to take a breather. All this information had given me a headache, and I knew well enough that what he said before taking his nap was due to the tiredness. 

He was going to be angry at me and hate me. He wouldn't try to understand if I told him who he truly was to me, no. He would start screaming and  possibly crying, because I destroyed his life. He would want to get away from me, until he realizes that he can't.

I pass the card on the door to unlock it and turn the hang.

He was In deep thoughts, sitting on the bed facing the windows. A truly beautiful scene, his black skin glowed in contact with the sun, his wide back bare for me to admire. How I missed this feeling. 

Being able to be stunned by his beauty and his presence. I couldn't help but stand breathless, just observing him.

"You are back, where were you?" He spoke first, still holding his initial position. 

"I had to go for a walk, to think about our situation." I reply as I walk to him. I sit by his side and he still looks forward, as if he was enthralled by the sea. "I thought that it would be better if you stayed a few days here with me." 

"Hum..." Is the only sound that escapes from his mouth. My eyes widen when I see him see his hand on his stomach, caressing it. I was speechless, he seemed a bit dazed. I didn't want to disturb him. "I want to keep this baby and raise it, even if it sounds crazy to me, I want you to also be present. If my calculations are correct, I'm already a month pregnant and I can't legally get an abortion which means I have to raise it." 

"Mr. Jackson, look at me please." I take his chin between my fingers and turn his head. When his eyes meet mine, I feel the rush to take this man in my arms and kiss the hell out of him. He looks lost but determined at the same time, he is whom I have been dreaming of for so long. 

" Do you want to have our baby, if you don't feel ready tell me. I still can help you and find a way to stop this pregnancy. Are you sure?" I caress his face and take his hand in mine. 

He slowly shakes his head and smiles softly.

Kenny Jackson - Wednesday, February 5th 

I was always lonely. 

I felt lonely, there was always someone who would die or abandon me. Even if I had my friends and my family, I feel this hole inside of me. 

But now that I have to be in care of a baby, my baby, my family, it changes everything. 

I always thought that I wouldn't be able to go past my ex and find someone else. I thought that I would be the single uncle, who lives alone in his house with his dog.

Mr. Alidini insisted on taking me for a walk on the beach, telling me that fresh air would be nice after the session of throwing up. 

It indeed was. 

We found a quiet spot and sat to observe the waves that caress the sand. 

"How did you get me pregnant?" I finally ask. He seems a bit uneasy, but proceeds to explain. 

"First of all, I'm not asking you to believe everything I'm about to say but to find in your heart the part that sounds reasonable to you." He first says, I stare at him intrigued. "Also, no laughing please." 

"Alright, I don't promise though." He takes my hand. 

"You must first know that, in this world, men consume a lot of estrogen, female hormones. And that for us, it is therefore easier to impregnate a man or so I have heard. You are the first man I know that is pregnant." He mumbles under his breath, in deep thoughts. 

" Mr. Aldini, continue. "I tap his shoulder. 

" Yes, yes. I... I am not from this dimension. The films about traveling through time and dimensions that this dimension fancies so much are real. Me and the doctor from yesterday, my friend, belong to another dimension. "He says, I low key wanna laugh but I hold it in. 

" Oh, I wasn't expecting that one. "I say calmly, I think he might have taken some drugs before coming to me. 

" I'm sorry, let me explain further. There are multiple dimensions, soles that are similar to the world you know and others completely different like mine. There men can marry each other and bear children. "he breathes loudly and exhales," I was married, I have children with my husband. I loved the man, but he died... " Yeah, like nobody would have known he was married to a man. And what the hell is he even speaking about. 

" Oh, I'm sorry for your loss. Wait, you have children!! "I scream, in a sarcastic way that he doesn't seem to get as he continues the explanation. 

"Yes, two beautiful children, a girl and a boy. I made sure to hide them well from this awful world, to protect them even though I failed to do so with my late husband. "He smiles sadly, I turn my gaze towards the paysage." But, when we met in France, you and I. I felt so drawn toward you. Like him, the same exact feeling. " 

I mean, I kinda understand what he implies. I also felt the pull up toward him but, in my defense, mixing alcohol with sexual tension usually leads to sex in my case. So he is basically talking nonsense, aside from the fact that I am indeed pregnant, he is talking shit...
