I am shocked

“Pregnant?” I ask in surprise.

“Yeah.” Athena nods. “They test every female sex zombie for it. Apparently, I got myself preggers while I was a sex zombie.”

My brain suddenly starts working overdrive and I quickly come to an obvious conclusion, but I have to ask her anyway.

“Is it … mine?”

“You’re the only guy who ever had his dick in my vagina.” Athena says. “So, it can’t really be anybody else.”

My heart starts beating faster. I made an **** baby with my cousin? But I used condoms. And I only came inside her after her ovulation.

“But … you had already ovulated.”

“They said it on the news, Kyle.” Athena continues. “The disease can cause a second ovulation. The virus must have made me ovulate while I was a sex zombie.”

All of this is hitting me quite hard. I am becoming light headed. I quickly run over to the sofa and sit down. Athena sits next to me and places her hands on my shoulders.

“It’s not your fault.” She says. “The disease made you do it. It made me do it. Don’t blame yourself.”

Athena is right. Both of us were in a sex crazed state. Neither of us was going for a pregnancy. It just happened.

I take a deep breath, look at my cousin and ask, “What are we going to tell your parents?”

“We will tell them the truth.” Athena says. “We both got infected and the disease is to blame for me having your baby.”

She’s right. Honesty is the best thing now. I agree with Athena and then suggest we start by fixing up the house. We’ll probably think better about this after we had a good night’s rest.

We start with checking the animals for food. Apparently, my uncle’s friend came over and fed the animals while we were away. At least the animals didn’t suffer. After that, we decide to clean the bedrooms.

The first one we’re cleaning is the room I’m staying in. That one’s the easiest. We open up the window so the room can air out. Then we wash the bedsheets. While those are drying, we each have a phone call with our parents.

Both of my parents have come out of sedation, just like me. My mother was apparently lucky she went to the hospital so quickly. If she didn’t, she might have become pregnant again.

My parents have apparently already heard from my uncle that Athena and I have been sex zombies. They are actually surprisingly understanding. My father has experienced a state where he was not in control of himself and my mother was the first to see him act different from normal. Neither of them blames either me or Athena for what we’ve done. With this kind of support, I decide to let them know that I ended up getting Athena pregnant. At first, they are shocked. But at least they understand I didn't make any active attempts to knock her up. We end the conversation with my parents promising we’ll find a solution to this.

After that, Athena and I both go to bed. We are simply too exhausted for anything else. We place the sheets on and dress in our nightwear. For me, it is my boxers. For Athena, it is a long t-shirt. Then we share the bed and fall asleep immediately.
