Prologue

"A What?" Kira asked in shock, his voice reverberating off of the metal corridor of the Archangel. Flay stared sadly at the ground and nodded. "But… how… could we…" Kira stammered, searching the redheads face for any sign that she may have been joking.

Flay shook her head in dismay "I'm telling you the truth Kira! I… I didn't want to like to you… and… maybe we could… I mean I thought…" She shrunk back under the crushing gaze of the young coordinator, her words trailing off into silence.

Kira stared at her, his violet eyes fixed on the young girl before him, still not being able to find the words to best describe what he was feeling. "Flay… are you sure you know what you're talking about?" He asked steadily, purple meeting blue.

She averted her gaze and nodded timidly, "Yes… I am Kira…"

"But what do you think they'll do?" Mirialia asked. "It's not like either of them have any experience with something like this!"

Tolle nodded "And what do you think the commander and captain are going to say. They could get kicked off the ship!"

Sai nodded "…yeah…"

Tolle frowned, "And you're ok with this Sai? I mean you and Flay…"

Sai looked up from his book and straightened his glasses, forcing a strained smile. "It doesn't really matter, I mean what's done is done. Right? Even if I did have a problem with it… what else is there that I can do?" He looked back down. "Right now both of them just need our support."

Cuzzy, who had decided to remain silent for the duration of the conversation. Finally spoke up; "Well then, I guess we're going to have to do what we con for them." The four naturals nodded in agreement and went back to picking at their freeze dried lunches in a strained silence.

Kira inhaled deeply and let out a heavy sigh. "And you're positive?"

Flay nodded, once again a sob escaped her lips. "Oh Kira!" She cried and threw her arms around him. "I'm sorry! I never meant for this to happen!" The redhead sobbed into his chest.

Kira looked down at her and sadly stroked her head. "I know you didn't Flay… neither of us did…" He choked, fighting back his own stream of tears. He couldn't cry now. No, right now he had to be strong for her. "We'll get through this. Alright?" He looked down at her and forced a reassuring smile.

Flay nodded "But Kira… I'm… We're only sixteen… We can't look after a baby…"

"I know Flay…
