A/N: Warning: This is not your average Shima story. Everyone in this is human, and it comes with a strong dose of reality. In other words, you have been forewarned, and I'd like to welcome back all my loyal readers that stuck around for so long. Thank you, you guys and girls.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or it's characters, and I make no profit from this.


Yes

"No." Rima Touya growled. It had to be wrong; she couldn't be... no. She couldn't be pregnant. It had to be wrong.

But three pregnancy tests in a row couldn't all be faulty.

She sank to her knees on the bathroom tile, the chill that seeped into her skin making her realize it wasn't just a bad dream. It was real, it was all too real.

Rima was only sixteen.

A million things flooded the redheaded girl's mind. What would she do? What could she possibly say to her parents?

Rima let a small, shuddering breath escape her.

"Senri." She whispered the name of her boyfriend, of the baby's father, with guilt woven into each syllable. What could she possibly do? She couldn't keep this from him. She couldn't... no, she had to keep the baby. No matter what anyone said, this was her child.

She stared at the pregnancy test for a moment more. Senri was most important. She would have to tell him first.


"Rima?" Senri's voice came across surprisingly clear through her cell phone.

Rima was silent. She wanted to cry, she felt nauseous and frustrated and scared beyond belief.

Just say it!

"Senri." Rima took a deep breath in. "I'm pregnant." Silence filled the room and the line. "It's yours."

"I know it's mine." Senri's voice was monotone as usual, but Rima knew him too well. She could pick up the slight traces of panic and fear. But he had also confirmed that he knew she would never cheat on him, so a step forward and a step back so to speak.

"Senri?" Rima asked, her tone growing softer. "What do you want me to do?"

"Meet me at the foot bridge." Senri's voice had gone back to flat, unreadable even to Rima. "I'll be there."

"Alright." Rima paused and then added, "I love you."

"I love you too." Senri murmured. "Don't do anything rash, ok?"

"Yeah." Rima pressed her lips together.

"See you soon." Senri hung up his phone, leaving Rima holding her phone to her ear even after the click.
