Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

“Yeah, sorry,” Will added, clearing his throat and realizing
the sudden announcement was sort of his fault.
There was movement, some kissing, and a few whispered
words I couldn’t make out.
“Okay, well…” the nurse chimed in again. “We’ll get the
blood we need. Don’t worry.”
“I’m B-negative,” someone spoke up, and I realized it was
Rika.
Her tone sounded like mine did when I had to agree to
something I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to do.
“Oh, wonderful,” the nurse chirped. “Come with me,
then.”
“Thanks, Rika,” Banks called out as they left.
I drew in a deep breath, relaxing a little, but still not
moving from my spot.
“I’m sorry,” I heard Banks say.
“Why are you apologizing?” Kai asked, a smile in his
voice. “This is the best surprise. My parents will be ecstatic.”
“I didn’t want you to find out like this,” she explained.
“Well, are you okay with it? Are you ready?”
“I didn’t think I would be,” she replied. “I wasn’t sure I
wanted kids, but since I found out on Monday, I’m just…”
She giggled, and then I heard jumping and a barely audible
little squeal.
“No wonder you’ve been smiling so much,” Kai
commented. “And I thought it was because of me.”
“Well, technically it is.”
He snorted. “We’ve got a lot to look forward to.”
“Let’s go sit,” she whispered.
I rubbed my eyes, forgetting my hands were covered in
blood. Shit. I needed to go wash up.
I started to move, but then I heard Kai’s voice.
