International Highschool (Stuff the Warrior Admins would freak out about!)

"Oh... back to the dorm then?" Comet said, still intending to leave.

" one last blood test and then we can go." Jenna told him.

Comet hesitated like he wanted to argue before he nodded and sat down on the end of the bed. "Where's Lillian now? Are we supposed to meet her somewhere?"

" she's at her dorm." She told him. " we'll meet up with her after you are discharged."

Lillian sighed looking at her phone Zolts hasn't messaged her back and that worried her.

"How have you been this past week? I'm sorry I was out for most of it." Comet said.

" I've been good. The baby has been kicking a lot. " she told him.

"It must be close now... Did you stay at the hospital the whole time? Did you do anything?" He asked.

" I went home." She told him. " you were pretty out of it most the week."

"Have you talked with anyone else from the school? Or has our grade all graduated already?" Comet asked.

" oh yeah. We are fine with grade. The teachers gave is make up work and I did it for us." She said with a small shrug.

"You did? I thought I'd dropped out of the program before we left for Malaysia." He said. "Did you do anything fun? For yourself I mean. If I get discharged early enough we should go to a restaurant or something..." He laid back on the bed.

" I just did some research trying to figure out who took tam's place. I've just got us caught up so you didn't fail our classes." She explained she really didn't do anything for herself.

"The school was mostly just a cover for working under Tam, I was never that invested in passing or graduating." Comet said. "I might go to another school in a few years now that I don't have to work as a hitman... if I pick out a career path..." he shrugged. "But I'll make sure we're both settled somewhere before then."

" you still want me around?" She said a little surprised. " I figured we could graduate from here and then go where we want to go."

“I’d assume we’d have to stick around to help Lillian for the time being. But thank you, for helping me catch up on the school work...” He said. “Where would we go after that?”

" I don't know." She shrugged not sure where to go.

"I'll stick around..." Comet replied to her question directly finally. "But I'd be alright with it, if after what I said about us, if you didn't think you'd be comfortable with me sticking around."

" I've been contemplating adoption..." Jenna said softly unsure how he would feel about it. So she was a bit nervous brining it up.

"Do you think that would be for the best?" He asked, trying to think if she's brought it up before

" Do you think we are ready to be parents? That's a lot of responsibility." She told him sighing. " I don't know what's best. But I do know we are still young."

"I guess we're not ready." He said. "I don't feel ready at least. But what is the kid's life going to be like if they end up in foster care?"

"I don't know." she shrugged, "But it's a baby and people like babies." jenna said thinking.

“If we put it up for adoption we should make sure it finds a good home and doesn’t go into the system. There’s still time before you’re due, we can start searching now.” Comet said

" there are some special programs that are for people who are specifically looking for a baby. I've looked into some of them. Adoption agencies." She said remembering the word. " I want the child to have a good steady home."

And after that we go our separate ways...? He felt fear nag at his chest. After Lillian got the training she needed and Jenna left, he had no idea what he would do, where he would go from there. "And after we find them a home, you go back to working for your father under the CIA?" he asked
