Mogami Kyoko looked at the doctor in shock after he told her why she had been feeling sick. He looked back at her with obvious concern. After a few moments, she looked down at her stomach and gently touched it.
"How did this happen?" she whispered, her golden eyes filling with tears.
"When a man and a woman have-," the doctor stopped short at the sight of the sobbing teen.
"This might ruin everything. How will I manage this? I'm already working two jobs." The teen realized what she was doing and forced herself to stop crying by sheer willpower. She looked at the doctor and immediately fell to the floor in a dogeza. "I'm so sorry for troubling you with my problems! Thank you very much for your help!" She repeatedly did a dogeza, even though the doctor tried to reassure her that it was fine.
"Don't you have to tell people about this?" the doctor asked. She straightened up and smiled slightly at the thought of the one she loved and practically worshipped.
"You're right. Thank you again."
The doctor helped the teen stand. She smiled gratefully at him and left the office with her face set in a determined smile and her golden eyes showing a hidden fire. The receptionist at the desk bid her a farewell that she returned. She then walked outside and shielded her eyes against the harsh fall sun.
Kyoko pulled her jacket higher up and buried her lower face inside the warm fabric. Though she wanted to go talk to the man she loved, she couldn't go and try to call him just yet. She had work to do. She gasped as she looked at her watch.
"Oh no! I'm late for work!" She climbed on her bike and rode to her first job as fast as she could.
"Oh! Mogami-san, there you are! Are you alright?"
"Yes," Kyoko gasped out. "I'm sorry for being late." She climbed off her bike and walked with her co-worker to get dressed for work.
"That's alright. You probably won't get in trouble. This is the first time you've been late. Why are you so late?" Kyoko's face turned crimson as she thought about what the doctor had told her.
"I can't tell you yet. I have someone very important that needs to be the first to know."
"Oh. Well if you change your mind and want to tell me, you know where to find me."
"I know. I'll tell you after I tell him."
"Alright. Are you alright Mogami-san? You're red. Do you have a fever?"
"Ah! No. I'm fine."
Kyoko opened her locker and got ready in her uniform. She went to work on her first job. Even though the teen had been feeling tired lately, she still kept working hard and smiling through it all. She never faltered for even a second.
Kyoko slowly walked along the street while pushing her bike along. She was tired and even more exhausted than usual. That must have been for the same reason she had gone to the doctor. She knew she would be fine so she just walked along in the crowd. Even pushing her bike seemed to be so much more tiring than it should.
Kyoko endured her tiring journey and made it home with drooping eyes. He eyes snapped open and her tiredness slipped away at the light coming from her apartment. She carefully ran up the stairs and burst through the door. The man she was so excited to see glared at her after looking up from the fridge.
"Close the door! You're letting all the warm air out! Where are all the groceries Kyoko?"
"Sh-Sho, I have great news," she said. Her voice was barely above a whisper. She closed the door like he wanted.
"Spit it out."
"W-well, I-I'm," she stuttered out. She paused and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "I'm pregnant Sho." Sho dropped the meal from Kyoko's fast food job that he had fished out of the fridge.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant," she repeated even more nervous than before at the lack of excitement from the one she loved.
"Pregnant! How could this have happened? This is insane!"
"Sho calm down."
"No! Don't tell me to calm down! You're pregnant! How is this possible? I mean we've done stuff on occasion, but you shouldn't be pregnant! I make sure that it's safely done!"
"Not every time," she replied meekly.
"Forget it! I'm leaving! I have to get back to work!"
"Sho! Wait! Don't go!" He ignored her pleas and left the apartment. She fell to the ground with tears spilling from her eyes. "Sho, why? It's supposed to be a good thing. You should be happy like I was. The only reason I did those things with you was because you asked and you said that it was the only sign of love that would last. Why would you leave from that?" she cried out. Her tears fell and soaked the carpeted floor under her while she stared down at it from her position on all fours.
The home phone rang. Kyoko sniffed and went to pick it up. She steadied her voice as best as she could and put it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Mogami-san, I was just calling to check on you. I still think you may have had a fever at work today and you're never late. You should try to get some rest and drink lots of fluids."
"Thank you, but it's not a fever."
"What is it then? What's wrong with your voice? You sound like you were crying."
"They were tears of joy," she lied.
"Why were you crying tears of joy?"
"Well, I have exciting news. I'm going to be having a baby in nine months." Kyoko paused and waited for a reaction. "Hello?" she asked after five minutes of silence.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"I didn't even know you had a special guy! Wow! Pregnant! This is great news! I bet he was excited!"
"Yeah. He was pretty loud when I told him."
"He was shouting with glee! That's great! I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you."
"I'll see you at work tomorrow. Make sure you get a lot of rest and that you stay healthy for that baby growing inside of you!"
"I will."
"Bye Mogami-san!"
"Bye." The distraught and tired teen hung up the phone and sighed. She made a quick and healthy dinner before soaking in a hot bath and heading to bed.
(A/N: Ok. So this is a challenge set forth by Kojiro Kun. It's called the "Mom Kyoko Challenge." The challenge is: "I'm curious and would like to see a story where when Kyoko was abandoned by Sho, she was pregnant with his child, it would be interesting to see how the story will progress with such a twist. I hope someone will take this story, feel free to write it as you one. Bonus: - Ren helping Kyoko when she gives birth - Maria being a oneechan to the kid - Kuu being a doting grandfather." This is just the beginning. I don't own Skip Beat or the amazing characters. If I did, it wouldn't be nearly as amzing. I hope you liked it. Drop a review telling me all of your thoughts- good and bad. Have a nice day/night!)
