Finding Love Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Moving In

After three more weeks Nepeta was allowed to leave the hospital. She didn't want to go back to where Terezi and Karkat where nor did she want to go to her and Equius's place.

"Karkitty…" Nepeta whispered, "Do you think Mom or Dad would let me move in with them?"

Karkat was shocked. She hadn't called him that since she started dating Equius. He sighed, "Mom's in Minnesota for business for the next few years and Dad is in Africa helping with the efforts for healthcare. Even if you moved in with mom you'd have to transfer schools."

Gamzee got an idea, "Nep can come live at my place," He got surprised looks, "Well I have a big house with a lot of room and I would love to have someone else there. Just one person makes it feel lonely and empty."

Nepeta smiled softly. Karkat sighed, "Okay she can go to your place. Don't do anything to Nep, or I will hurt you."

"I won't do anything man," Gamzee replied then turned to Nepeta; "Aradia will bring you home and stay with you while we get your stuff, Kay?"
She nodded and let Aradia lead her to the car. Aradia hit play on the CD player in the car. The song Missing by Evanescence came out of the speakers. Nepeta let herself cry all the way to her new home.

Gamzee almost cried at the state of Equius's living room. There were some blood stains on the wall and in the carpet. His poor friend died in this room.

Karkat came in behind Gamzee. He had already seen the state of the room and avoided looking at it. He noticed that Gamzee was still standing in the same spot. He grabbed Gamzee's arm and tugged a bit. Gamzee followed him upstairs to where Equius and Nepeta shared a room.

Nepeta's stuff was already packed up and labeled. Karkat and Gamzee realized that Equius had done this before killing himself. Karkat sniffed and started grabbing boxes.

After two hours they finished moving everything to Gamzee's. Nepeta had already fallen asleep on the couch. He thanked Aradia and she left. Karkat kissed his sister's forehead and left for home. Gamzee decided that during the rest of their summer break he would have Nepeta pick a room and decorate it. He would call his mom's friend who did all of his family's interior decorating tomorrow so he could help.

Nepeta sneezed in her sleep. Gamzee smiled. He should move her to a bed. He brought her to the guest room across from his own room. Gamzee covered with a blanket and she curled into a ball on the bed.

Gamzee leaned down and kissed her forehead. Smiling he whispered, "Good night little kitten."

It was a week later and Gamzee woke up to the smell of bacon and French toast. He walked downstairs to find Nepeta making breakfast. He smiled, "Good morning Nep."

She turned and smiled at him, "Good morning. How many pieces of French toast do you want?"

"Three. Oh and next time I make breakfast."

"Sure if you manage to get up before eleven. Otherwise you'll have to deal with it."

They laughed and ate breakfast together. He made her stay at the table while he did dishes. She told him about her room plan.

She had met the decorator yesterday and they already had the room all planned out. Starting in two days people would be coming and working on the room.

As she sat at the table Nepeta was realizing that her feelings toward Gamzee weren't just as friends. She was starting to fall for him. She still loved Equius but she couldn't help falling for the Capricorn. She sighed and silently apologized to Equius.

It had been two weeks since Nepeta had moved in and Gamzee found himself having a hard time staying away from Nepeta. He found himself willing to do anything for her.

If she wanted to, he would be wrapped around her little finger. She was so nice and considerate. Not to mention she was absolutely beautiful in his eyes.

Nepeta found herself completely taken with Gamzee by the third week she was living there. She loved him and couldn't stop herself from doing so. She hoped that Equius was okay with this. She wondered if she should tell him or not.

She smiled as one of his food creations exploded in his face. He frowned a bit before smiling. He dragged his finger on his face and tried the concoction. Nepeta giggled did the same as him. She smiled and said, "Yummy. That was pretty good."

They both fell on the floor and laughed. Gamzee couldn't stop himself from pulling Nepeta into a kiss. At first she had frozen but then started to kiss him back. When they pulled apart she was pulled into a hug.

Gamzee took a deep breath and said, "Nepeta, I love you. I tried to hold it back because of what you went through but I couldn't stop myself. I will be here for you and I'll even be a father to the baby. I just wanna stay by your side."

Nepeta let herself cry in joy. She laughed a little and nodded repeatedly. Finally she spoke, "I love you too Gamzee."

As the school year approached everyone got together to prepare. When Gamzee and Nepeta said they were dating Karkat had slapped him then hugged him. He then hugged Nepeta. Everyone was happy for the small girl.

Nepeta also stated showing a tiny bit now that she was twelve weeks along. All the girls had wanted to feel the bump. Karkat was asked if he wanted to feel and he had refused. Nepeta had grabbed his hand anyway and put it on her belly. He smiled and said, "I'm gonna be an uncle."
