[ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY]
"Hibari," Tsuna asked slowly, "I know this is none of my business, but did you have your period this month?"
Before Hibari really had a chance to think, her eyes widen in realization.
"Tsunayoshi Sawada, you got me pregnant!" She yelled.
[END ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY]
Tsuna took a deep breath and watched Hibari closely. Her hand moved down to touch her stomach, and her eyes slowly closed as she also took a deep breath.
"We don't know for sure, Hibari. Perhaps it's just sickness." Tsuna reassured, not truly believing his words.
Hibari took another breath and rubbed her eyes.
"I do have the doctor's appointment tomorrow, we can find out then. You will accompany me," She said.
It wasn't a question, but Tsuna knew it was only right. He sighed as they walked off in the direction of his house. He slowly waded through the flood of feelings that attacked his brain.
'What if Hibari-san is really pregnant?' Tsuna thought, 'I'm only fifteen and Hibari's only sixteen. What are we going to do? How are the others going to react? And what about the whole mafia thing?'
"Hibari-san?" Tsuna asked.
"What, Tsunayoshi?" she responded tersely.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well, if it does turn out that I am pregnant, I suppose we could get rid of it," she suggested.
Tsuna stopped, seething he yelled, "How could you say that?! I know childbirth is not going to be fun but the child itself is a beautiful thing. How could you even say you would murder a child?!"
Hibari turned to look at Tsuna. A smile graced her features.
"Tsunayoshi, thank you," she said. "I would have been very disappointed had you reacted any other way."
"Can we even take care of a child?" Tsuna asked.
She moved closer to Tsuna but looked towards the sky.
"Even though we are not ready for a child, I know I would carry the burden and raise the child with great dignity," Hibari declared.
Tsuna smiled. Even though he was not ready to be a father, he knew that there was no other decision he could make. He walked to Hibari and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hibari, we will do this together," he reassured her.
They stood there for a few more minutes, looking towards the sky as if searching for answers. The wind began to blow softly, catching fallen leaves. It brought the couple out of their moment.
"Tsunayoshi, you should be leaving," she said removing his hands.
"Yeah, I should but I will meet you at the school gates tomorrow and we can walk to the hospital together," he told her.
Hibari nodded and they began to leave. Before they had gotten far, Hibari grabbed Tsuna's arm and pulled him close. Within seconds she had covered his mouth with hers and tenderly kissed him. They slowly broke the kiss and parted their own ways. Tsuna waved to Hibari as she glanced back. He began to walk to his house. Tsuna took in the sunset and mulled over everything that had occurred up to this day. It made him realize that even if he was afraid of what tomorrow would bring, he would be happy.
