Will's POV:
I had never seen anyone dance as gracefully as him. His partners were all male. At least I have a chance of getting close to him with an excuse. I'm going to try dancing.
This is how graceful I am. Imagine a water Buffalo standing on thin ice and trying to move without falling through. Impossible. I'm hopeless.
I had only ever seen him with one female partner. She always danced with him. She was graceful and would pat his cheek affectionately after each mistake.
I assume she's his girlfriend. Doesn't mean I can't at least try. He could always be bisexual. You never know. I first saw him in elementary school. It was in fifth grade.
Now, as a junior, I want to get to know him. He's a sophomore, but I know most of his dance partners are older. He's been dancing ever since I've known him. Moving across the dance floor with such ease. He ice skates too. So graceful.
"Hello Will Solace. Can I help you with anything?" Nico asked
He was in front of me with his kissable lips pursed. Gods I have it bad. Did I mention he's like an angel in the ground?
"Yeah. I've been thinking about taking dance." I said
"Registration ended yesterday." Nico said
I must have looked sad, because he ushered me into the room. He would teach others how to dance. He wasn't very popular, but he was helping a football player using ice skating to help him get better on the field. Also helping a hockey player on the ice after his injury.
"Sign up here. I'm willing to make an exception." Nico said
I signed up and he walked me out locking the door behind him. I love our school. Depending on what we want to do, we can help out with that. I'm off to the nurses office to help bandage and help kids.
"Why take dance?" Nico asked me
"It looks fun." I said
ɴᴏᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ɢᴇᴛ ᴄʟᴏsᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴛᴇᴀᴄʜᴇʀ. I thought. Nico waved at me and disappeared almost like he had teleported away. I went to the nurses office. At least I have dance tomorrow.
>Next Day<
"Get up. You can do better." Nico said helping me up
"I probably can, but I don't know how to." I said
"Let's try it this way. Put your hand here around my waist." Nico said "We are going to learn a tango."
"Maybe we could start with something easier." I said
"Nope." Nico said pulling me close to him
I was on autopilot. I stared at him. It would have been the perfect moment to kiss him. I must have done something wrong, because I fell on top of him.
I got off of him and he stood up. He grimaced in pain, but masked it. He put some pressure on his foot, but I saw him put his weight on the other leg.
"Here." I said
I gently picked him up putting him on a bench. I checked his ankle and had him move it. The dance instructor came in and asked if Nico was alright. Nico said yes I said no.
"Sir, I'm going to be a doctor. I know when I see something broken or sprained. He sprained his ankle. I need to bandage it and he shouldn't dance or skate on it." I said
"Very well." The instructor said
Over the next few months we got to know each other well. I finally had the guts to tell him I liked him after 7 months. He blushed and said he did too. Which leaves us where we are now.
"William I'm fine." Nico said
"No you aren't. You've been sick for the past week." I said
"I'm fine." Nico said
He could have a fever of 118 and be so sick he can't see and he would still say he was fine. I'll give him a gold star for perseverance.
"Do you think I could be pregnant?" Nico asked
"It is a possibility, but I don't think so." I said
Nico has the ability to get pregnant. He was born as a male, but has the female reproductive organs needed to make a baby and deliver.
"I'll check you." I said
"I won't be able to skate or dance or anything." Nico complained as I checked him
"You're right. You won't be able to." I said
Nico huffed and grabbed his bag leaving without saying anything else to me. I figured I would be driving him to school.
When I got to school I went to the dance room. He was staring at picture of Bianca. Bianca was his sister. She died when he was younger. She's the girl he used to dance with all the time.
He was crying one hand resting on his stomach. I came in and he didn't see me. When I cleared my throat he jumped a little. I sat down next to him putting my hand over his.
"You aren't mad?" Nico asked
"Nope. It was my fault too. It wasn't just you who made our baby." I said
"Where does this leave us?" Nico asked
"Um...this leaves you pregnant and me staying by your side to care for our baby." I said
"Are you going to leave if our baby cries and keeps you up?" Nico asked
"Never." I replied kissing him softly
Now, he's 6 months pregnant and he has gone off somewhere. He hadn't been living with his parents. I live with my mom and when I told her the situation she put her hands on her hips and asked if I knew how to use protection.
I nodded blushing and she let Nico live with us since he's been living on his own for a long time. His father only coming for visits sometimes. This time I decided to follow Nico.
I know it's wrong. I'm worried. He leaves everyday and comes back a little later. Mom had told me to give him some space and let him think. How his body was changing everyday and he wasn't used to it.
I followed him to the ice rink and he met up with a hockey player. Nico moved to the side of the rink watching him play.
He gave him some skating tips. He put on skates and showed him moving him until he was in a different stance. He shot a puck and it went straight in.
Nico made him do it again and again. He got it in every single time. So he had been secretly still teaching on the ice. That was why he left all the time.
Nico straightened up clutching his stomach. I could hear them talking the entire time. They weren't very loud, but this place was empty and it was made to be loud. I didn't know one place could echo so much.
"Are you okay?" The player asked
"Yeah. It's nothing." Nico said
"Are you sure. I can call Will if you want it's not-" The player started
"No. I'm fine. I'm pregnant nothing big. It's normal to feel this way." Nico said
"I know, but you never get this white. I'm going to call Will." The player said
"No, Jason, stop being such a dad! I said I was fine. I should have never told you. All you do is ask if I'm okay." Nico said angrily
I had never really seen him get this angry at one of his students. Jason had blocked him making sure he couldn't leave. I had snuck in turning off my ringer volume.
"Does something hurt? At least tell me what's wrong." Jason said
"I've been feeling pains okay. They aren't bad, but they are getting stronger. I'm sure it's from this morning, but I don't know." Nico said
"We can have you checked out. Try telling Will." Jason said
"No, he'll overreact and I don't want to worry him. He's taking test after test and I know he's stressed." Nico said
I want him to worry me. I know I'm stressed. I've been getting tension headaches and all that jazz. I want to know if he's hurt or something hurts. It's not his job to keep that stuff from me just because I'm stressed.
"He will understand. He deserves to know." Jason said
He helped him skate to the sidelines. Nico got into his regular shoes. He was way smaller than an average pregnant woman of six months.
He was walking out with Jason when he got another pain. I started to time this. He was leaning on Jason and Jason was rubbing a hand over his bump.
"That wasn't too bad I guess." Jason said
"Yeah. They aren't bad. It's probably from the stuff I did yesterday. I helped Will with studying and then I couldn't sleep so I went on a hour walk." Nico said
"Why would that affect you now?" Jason asked
"I didn't eat yesterday." Nico said barely above a whisper
"Why not!" Jason exclaimed "The baby is probably sick now!"
"I know. I've been a little dizzy too." Nico said
"Nico I'm taking you home." Jason said "No walking. Then you are going to tell Will everything. He decides what happens after that."
"Okay." Nico said
I snuck out the back and grabbed some groceries. When I got home Jason and Nico were sitting on the couch. Mom was at work so everything was fine. No school today, because of some plumbing issues. It was deemed a study day.
Nico still had class in the morning since he had been doing things online. It's crazy. Doing online school for a year. So he has time to rest and take care of the baby.
"Hey Neeks, who's this?" I asked
"Jason." Jason said "Nico has something to tell you."
"I need to put these in the fridge. I thought we could have vegetables and soup tonight. I know you like that." I said
"Will, I'm dizzy." Nico said
"Orthostatic Hypotension. It's a decrease in blood pressure." I said "Getting up slower will do the trick."
I went into the kitchen carefully putting the food into the fridge. I put stuff in the cupboard. Nico had followed and Jason was telling him to tell me everything.
"What do you mean everything?" I asked "Is something else wrong?"
"I've been feeling pains." Nico said
I dropped the glass jar and turned around. I went over to him fretting over him and I got my medical bag. I checked his pulse and his blood pressure. Both seemed normal.
"Okay what do these pains feel like?" I asked
Jason was cleaning up the broken jar and all the glass. I put my hand on the little swell of Nico's bump.
"They are sharp pains and they only happen so often. My last one was-" Nico started
"50 seconds right." I said
"Yeah." Nico said
"Nico I'm pretty sure you're in labor." I said
"I can't be." Nico said
"You are. I want you to get comfortable and don't worry. Worry will only make it worse." I said
"Is there anything I can do?" Jason asked
"Yeah. Watch him. Call me if anything changes." I said "I'm going to go pack the go bag."
Jason nodded and I went upstairs. It was three bedrooms and one guest. I opened up the nursery and took some clothes out. I grabbed everything I would need. I got some towels and blankets.
I put a stuffed animal in the bag and put some clothes for Nico. Some sweats and hoodies. Also some shirts.
I came back down and kissed Nico. He was struggling with a contraction and I held his hand. He clutched my hand.
"You need to breathe." I said "Don't hold your breath."
Nico released my hand and breathed deeply. Nico started to cry. I held him trying to calm him down, but he wouldn't calm down.
"It's okay." I said
"N-no it i-isn't. H-he can't c-come out y-yet." Nico stuttered "H-he's t-too s-small."
"He's okay. Breathe. The more calm you are the less stress on him." I said
"W-Will." Nico said his eyes wide
His water broke all over the towel I had set under him. He was on the floor leaning on the couch. He said it helped his back.
I took him to the hospital and he delivered our baby boy. He was 2 pounds and 12 inches long. He was only 26 weeks.
Still painful for Nico, but the entire time he was trying to breathe. He had a panic attack before he started to push.
Our son was put in the NICU. We weren't able to hold him and the doctors told Nico that he was bleeding a lot, but he had done well.
"I'm proud of you." I told Nico
He smiled and after 7 weeks we were able to take our son, Andrew, home. This is all I want. A baby and a loving boyfriend that has so much potential.
