Chapter 1

Half an hour ago, Tadashi was really happy. Getting a full scholarship for his study in SFIT felt like a miracle to him. SFIT was one of those colleges where you couldn't get acceptance letter to continue your study that easily. Let alone, a full scholarship. Everything in his life was going to get better. Or so he thought.

Now, he was pacing back and forth with his hand on his chin, while the other hand was folded on his chest. The good feeling he had earlier didn't last long. Replaced by anxiety, panic, and uncertain feeling. He felt like his life was once again turned upside down. It was all because of the words that came out from Vivienne's mouth.

She was pregnant.

Of course, any sane guy would freak out hearing those words from their ex. It would be different if they were already married. Or at least, if they never broke up. The reality was so damn cruel to him because not only they broke up a month ago, but now he must face the fact that she was pregnant. That, if she was really pregnant with his baby.

"Are you sure it's my baby?" Tadashi asked, trying to make sure.

Vivienne avoided his eyes and answered, "Yes, I am. You're the only one I had sex with."

That answer blew him out. She had confirmed him that it was his baby. His blood felt like it was boiled in his head. He was really angry at her now. The reason was only one.

"You said you were on birth control!" he shouted at her.

Yes, she said she was on birth control since their first sex. They didn't want to get the risk of her getting pregnant in such a young age. But her answer was more than enough to shut his mouth.

"And you were wearing a condom, but I still got pregnant, Tadashi! You can't blame it all to me. You have your own part too for this to happen!"

And that's it. He couldn't say anything again to her. She had the point. He had a part in that moment. So if he thought his life was turning upside down now, he knew he couldn't blame her because it was his own fault.

He sat down on the bench and put his head on his hands. He made mistakes before. But nothing big like that. He let out sigh of frustration. He really didn't know what to do anymore. And he could feel her eyes staring at him.

He averted his gaze slowly to Vivienne's belly. Without realizing it, Tadashi took out his left hand and placed it on her belly. Her eyes were widened at this. She was even more surprised when he rubbed her belly with that hand. As much as it surprised her, it felt good. But she didn't want to say it out loud.

"What are we going to do?" she whispered, earning the guy's attention.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You know what I meant," she shot a look at him.

Tadashi blinked. Then he realized what she meant by that. He pulled back his hand and leaned his back. Running his hand on his hair. He's not sure what to answer.

"I don't know, Vi. I don't know. I just got my acceptance letter from SFIT today and found out I also get a full scholarship. Then, I found out my ex is pregnant with my baby. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now," he said.

"Oh," Vivienne mumbled as she looked down, "Congrats for your scholarship. Your dream to continue your study there comes true."

"Thanks."

Silence engulfed around them. The blowing wind made the night became colder. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts.

"Tadashi," Vivienne said, calling him out from his deep thought. "Hm?"

Her lips looked trembled. It's like she was gathering her courage to tell him something. Vivienne was not the person who would say a lot of things so easily. And Tadashi knew that. So he just waited there patiently for her to say what was in her mind.

She took a breath and said, "I want us to raise this baby."

It took him a few seconds before he could register what she just said to him. When he finally got it, he felt dumbfound, "What?"

"I know we're not exactly in a good term. But everything has happened. I don't want to kill this baby, and I don't want to put it up on adoption. And if I have to be honest with you, I want to raise this baby. Together with you. But it's up to you, whether you want to raise this baby with me or not. With your life right now, I can understand if you don't want this baby. Getting an acceptance from SFIT is really hard, especially the scholarship."

Her eyes met Tadashi's eyes as she continued, "Unlike me, you have a bright future waiting for you. So, I won't force you to take a responsibility. You don't have to answer it now. I want you to think about it first so you won't regret it later."

Vivienne stood up from her seat. Her eyes were no longer staring at Tadashi's eyes. Her eyes were staring at the ground instead.

"But, I can't wait for you to answer that for too long. I'll give you three months. I will accept whatever answer you'll give to me. And if after three months I don't get any answer from you, then I'll assume you don't want this baby. If that's the case, don't worry. I'll live far away from you so you will never see me and this baby. And I'll never contact you anymore. I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never disturb your life after that."

After giving one last look, Vivienne walked away. Leaving a stunned Tadashi alone. When Vivienne had disappeared from his sight, he groaned and put his head on his hands again. He felt so lost and confused. He really wished he knew what to do and what to answer. He looked up to stars above.

"Mom, Dad, what should I do?"

Author's Note: I like the idea of Tadashi being Hiro's father. He was originally planned as Hiro's father anyway. And…., I really love pairing Tadashi with Vivienne. If you don't know her, she is an OC from Daddy 'Dashi fic by LuxAve. I think Tadashi would make a great father someday (if he's still alive. But I want him to be alive!).

I'm currently hyped in another fandom. So I won't promise a fast update. Until next time~
