THANK YOU…

The Unexpected Arrival…

Begins here…

Chapter One: Miyu Discloses, Kanata reacts…

Throughout the twenty-eight years of his life, Kanata had gotten to know exactly how it felt to be afraid. As a child he had grown up in perpetual fear of being all alone, but he had developed a tough skin so that he wouldn't let it affect him. His schooling had landed him in some pretty nerve wracking situations – especially after the Miyu Kouzuki had entered his life – but again he never let that get to him. Once he had graduated, Kanata had followed a career in the research which had resulted in him being made to deal with head spinning problems and experiments, but he could always deal with them. Kanata was a man who always prided himself on being one who never let fear override his common sense or stand in the way of what he wanted.

Or at least, most of the time it didn't.

"W-What?" Kanata stammered, his mind reeling. His heart was pounding loudly in his ears and the palms of his hands had broken out in a terrified sweat. His mouth had gone dry and his entire body was trembling as panic began to get a firm grip on his mind.

"I'm pregnant," Miyu repeated, though more nervously than she had said it the first time. She had been thrilled when she had realized she was with his child, but she had seen the blood drain out of her husband's face as soon as she had uttered those three words and even as she sat beside him on the couch in their elegant temple located in the beautiful and scenic city of Heiomachi, she could see the panic start to seep into his amber eyes. And when she saw that, she felt the joy about her new condition start to dampen.

Kanata let out a deep, shuttering breath and ran a nervous hand through his brunette hair, trying his hardest to hide from his wife just how badly it was shaking. Swallowing, Kanata found his voice and struggled to keep it even. "You sure?"

"Yes," Miyu nodded, feeling very uncertain of herself. She could remember Christine telling her and the others how Nozomu had reacted when she had first told him when she was pregnant. Nozomu had apparently cried out in pure delight, scooping her up in his arms and spinning her around, laughing and kissing her blissfully coupled with a shower of elegant pink roses. But there was no such joy on Kanata's face. "I did a home pregnancy test and when that came back positive, I went to the doctors to confirm it."

"And that was today?" questioned Kanata hoping against hopes that Miyu would make fun of his expression and tell that she was just joking.

Not that Kanata had any experience with babies. There is Nozomu's daughter, Rose, who squeals with delight at the very sight of her Uncle 'Anata'. With Rose Kanata could at least part with sometime or the other but with his kid, he couldn't do that, right?

"Yes," Miyu nodded again after observing Kanata's strange expressions. An awkward silence fell over the couple and neither of them seemed willing to break it. Miyu was too shy and uncertain to try and voice the concerned thoughts that were flashing about her head, and Kanata was too close to the verge of freaking out so he didn't dare open his mouth. His skill with words really hadn't improved that much since high school and experience had taught him that it was usually best to keep his mouth shut in tense emotional situation since he had a strong tendency to say the wrong thing. Throughout Miyu's stay in the temple in the past, Kanata got so nervous around that he ended up saddening her every time just like today. Kanata knew Miyu's love for babies but his strange behavior had reasons he didn't want to reveal…

But as each second dragged by, Miyu's need to know just what her husband was thinking grew till it got to the point where she couldn't take it any longer. "Kanata? Are . . . Are you okay with this?"

Overcome with uneasiness, Kanata got to his feet and started to pace in front of the couch like a caged animal. "I don't know," he finally confessed. "This is a pretty big step."

"I know it is, but I think it's one we're ready for," Miyu told him with an encouraging smile. "I mean, we're adults, we're married, we're financially sound and most importantly, we're in love. I think that we're ready for this."

"Maybe, but I . . . I . . ." Kanata trailed off, not sure how he had intended to finish that sentence when he started it. Actually he wanted to say, "We aren't ready. Just you are, I am not."

"Kanata," Miyu cooed gently, getting to her feet and moving over to wrap her arms around his toned body in order to stop his pacing and maybe get him to open up to her. "Please, tell me what you're thinking. Are you . . . Are you even the least bit excited about this baby?"

Kanata physically flinched at the 'B' word and he knew that Miyu would have felt it. But his body and mind was still reeling from the news and this lack of composer was bound to lead to him messing this up.

"I-I don't know," Kanata stammered for a second time. "It's just . . . I-I . . . Are you sure it's mine?"

As soon as the words left his lips, Kanata knew he had made a mistake as he accused Miyu of something that Miyu would even think of in her wildest of nightmares. Miyu went ridged and before her husband had a chance to say one word, she mustered up all her hurt, anger and strength to slap him hard across the face. It was a powerful and well aimed punch and Kanata was forced to take a step backwards due to the sheer force of it. And when he saw the tears of hurt and anger gathering in his beloved's eyes, he would have welcomed a million more hits just like it.

"How dare you," Miyu hissed, her entire body shaking in rage. "How dare you even suggest such a thing? Ever since the time I have met you, you were the only one I ever had eyes for and after being together for over ten years you dare to accuse me of being unfaithful?"

"Miyu, I –"

"You jerk!" Miyu seethed, unwilling to let him talk his way out of this one. "You total jerk! I am not the unfaithful one; YOU ARE… who went like some sick minion behind that image seeking Akira… I was the one pushed away…"

Kanata flinched at her words, but he didn't try to defend himself against them. Even after all these years, Kanata still felt guilty and ashamed about his stupid ways and of not believing Miyu about Akira and her selfish motives which is why Miyu never brought it up. Unless, of course, she really wanted to hurt him.

"I can't believe you! You're still the jerk you were in high school!" Miyu spat, turning on heel and storming towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Kanata asked as he moved to stop her leaving, but when she looked back at him and he saw her free flowing tears and her furious emerald eyes, he wisely stopped his pursuit.

"I'm going to Nanami's place" Miyu informed him, her hand on the door knob to the front door and her voice dripping with acid. "And don't you dare try and follow me."

Slam!!

Kanata flinched again as the slamming door echoed around their now empty home, and for the first time in a long time, Kanata had doubts whether his relationship with Miyu was going to survive…
