Chapter 1
"Hey guys! Look at what we found!"
Kagamine Rin was running through the front door of the Vocaloids' house, as her brother Len closed the door behind them. He shuffled in as well, not too far behind her.
Len tried his best to be quiet and careful as possible. Why?
Well, he was carrying a basket.
It was what was in the basket that he had to watch out for.
Rin was extremely excited to show her friends her discovery, and she ran straight into the living room, where she could hear everybody talking. Len followed carefully, still shuffling slowly and feeling somewhat uneasy.
"...Guys, *pant* I... *pant* have... to show you... *pant* what we.. found..." Rin panted, exhausted from running all the way home.
She had bolted into the middle of the living room, and she had promptly collapsed on the floor after completing her sentence.
Rin's outburst and sudden collapsing confused everyone in the room, but they were concerned nonetheless. Hatsune Miku immediately jumped up from the couch and ran over to her friend on the floor. She started to shake and nudge Rin in an attempt to get her to regain consciousness. Kaito ran to try to get Rin some water, although he accidentally tripped over her in the process of doing so. Megurine Luka just stared at the entire spectacle, not saying a word.
By the time Meiko had returned from getting herself a drink in the kitchen, Rin was awake, although she was leaning on Miku, holding her head. Kaito was still on the floor writhing in the pain of his own fall.
Meiko just shrugged it off, however, and sat back down next to Luka. They exchanged glances and continued to watch the scene unfold.
Len, hearing all of this commotion, set the basket down in the hallway just around the corner of the living room. He walked into the living room, earning a few stares, especially a very confused one from Rin.
He didn't seem to mind this, though, as he looked past the others and glared straight at Rin.
"Rin! What were you thinking?!"
"Huh? I..."
Len knelt down to talk to Rin more directly on the ground, crossing his arms and directing an even more intense glare towards her.
"First off, you can't get so excited! Especially since you just ran about 5 miles straight without stopping at all."
Rin cast her head down. "I guess I got a little carried away..."
"Second, you need to quiet down! You'll disturb the 'surprise'," Len winked at her upon saying the last word. She immediately understood what he meant, and winked back.
"Third,"
Len turned away, confusing everyone.
"...If you've finally calmed down..."
He spun around, pointing at Rin.
"...as I was trying to tell you earlier, taking care of a child is a lot of work!"
It took a minute for Len's statement to sink into the rest of the Vocaloids' heads.
However, as soon as everybody had some sort of idea, confused chaos broke out among the group.
Miku was the first to speak up.
"A... child..?"
Luka's eyes grew wide.
"R-Rin, don't tell us what I think you're going to..."
Rin gave them all a shining, innocent smile, though one could tell it was laced with other emotions, almost resembling guilt.
At this point, Meiko pounced on Rin and pinned her arms down to the floor, shocking them all, as well as frightening Rin greatly.
Despite the anxious look on her face, Meiko kept her composure as she asked Rin the question on everybody's mind.
"Rin Kagamine, I'm going to ask you this one time, and one time only..."
She took a deep breath before she continued.
"ARE YOU PREGNANT!?"
Rin retained her shocked and fearful expression for a second, before her face gave off an unreadable expression. She looked over at Len, and everyone's eyes followed suit. He could only give off a sheepish smile, which oddly complemented the deep shade of red his face had turned from the thought of doing such things with Rin in order to result in a pregnancy.
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife as everyone's imaginations ran ramped, fueled by what was unfolding before them.
Rin's expression dissolving into hysterical laughter didn't help matters either, as everybody turned further to Len for answers.
This time, it was him being pinned up against the wall, though by Kaito, and being pelted with questions from both him and the others.
"So, you just couldn't keep it in your pants, huh kid?" Kaito started the line of questioning.
"We can't even leave you two alone for one minute!"
"Wait, when did you guys even find the time to do it?"
Len, desperate for words, was helplessly stammering as he looked toward Rin for answers. Luckily, her laughter had begun to subside. She stood, hurrying over to the mob forming around Len so that she could calm everyone down and clear up everyone's misunderstandings.
"Hehehe... Guys, guys, break it up here! Let us explain," she chuckled.
The mob dissipated, and the Vocaloids all waited for her answers, with expectant looks on their faces.
"First off, I'm not pregnant," Rin began.
Meiko heaved an extremely heavy sigh at this news, and took a large swig of her drink.
"But..."
Everyone's attention peaked at that one word. Rin sighed before looking nervously at Len.
"We did bring a child into this house."
A collective, "Huh?" escaped the Vocaloids as confused looks were exchanged.
Just then, they all heard a small, faint crying.
A look of concern overtook Rin as she signaled for Len to go find the source of the noise and bring it back into the room to them. Len obeyed, and came back rather quickly.
He returned with a basket covered in blankets, making tons of noise. The Kagamines huddled around the basket, finally calming the noise as Rin picked up the bundle and slowly turned around.
As soon as she situated the pile of blankets in her arms, the Vocaloids were all greeted with the sight of a small, sleepy human baby.
