Reika knew something odd was up with her. She felt pains in her lower abdomen and knew it couldn't be good. Deidara was out on some mission so she called Konan. The blue-haired kunoichi had just given birth and was stuck at home taking care of the baby she knew she would like some company.
On the way to Konan's and Nagato's house she suddenly felt dizzy what on earth is wrong with me? she wondered her stomach pains hadn't lessened since that morning. She made it to Konan's house; her friend was sitting on the porch holding her twins. Reika waved and Konan nodded, being unable to wave. "You alright?" Konan asked Reika concernedly "you look really pale" Reika nodded "I don't know what it is" she exclaimed I've been having stomach pains all day and I've gotten really dizzy all of a sudden" she told Konan.
Konan's brown eyes widened "stomach pains and dizziness?" she asked suspiciously, Reika nodded and Konan leaned in "when was your last period" Konan whispered. Reika blushed "what does that have anything to do with it?" she asked and Konan rolled her eyes "what do you think?" she asked. When it was clear Reika was just as confused as before she sighed "when was the last time you…y'know…did it?" she tried again. Reika's blush grew making her look like a tomato "now what does my sex life have to do with it?" Konan rolled her eyes "Rei, I love you but you are DENSE…you might be pregnant!"
Reika paled "impossible!" I'm only 20!" she cried "I've only been married a year! I can't be pregnant" panic flooded her "Konan" she cried hysterical "what do I do?" "first of all calm down" Konan commanded. Reika took a deep breath "ok now what?" "now go get a pregnancy test" "where do I find those?" Reika asked. Konan thought "I think I have a couple left over hold them" she passed the twins Ayame and Myumi to Reika and she went inside. Moments later she emerged holding three little plastic packages "here" she said handing them to her
Reika took the packages "what do I do?" she asked curiously. Konan leaned in "it's easy" she said " you pee on it and if there's a green plus sign you're pregnant if there's a red negative sign you're not use them all because sometimes you get a false positive"
Reika hugged Konan "I'll call you as soon as I know" she said and was about to run down the porch steps when Konan suggested she use her bathroom "you'll know immediately and I want be there in case you panic" Reika nodded and went inside.
Reika was sitting on the toilet holding the stick. She'd peed on it and was waiting for her result. She shook it a couple times but then realized she might get a false positive if that happened.
She glanced down at the little window and her heart leapt to her throat: a little green plus sign. She swallowed the feeling of dread and tried another one it came out positive too. She was really beginning to panic; she continually refilled her bottle of water and drank until she had to pee again. She used the third test strip and sure enough: the little green plus sign was there…mocking her. Her heart raced and she flew out of the bathroom.
"KONNNNAAAAAAAANNNNN!" she cried out. Konan came rushing into the room having deposited the twins in their bed "what?" she took one look at Reika's pale face and the pregnancy test in her hand. Konan's eyes widened "you did all three of them?" Reika nodded tears filling her eyes. "Oh sweetie" Konan wrapped her arms around her as Reika cried.
That's how Nagato-formerly known as Pein-found them. Reika had cried herself to sleep but woke at the sound of footsteps. After Konan finished explaining to Nagato what had transpired his face grew grave "I'm sorry Reika…although it really isn't a bad thing" he said trying to lighten her up. She just stared at him in defeat "I can't have a kid…I'm still a kid myself and Deidara is only a year older" she sobbed "we nearly killed Sasori when he was in child form and he wasn't even a baby" she was shaking "what do I do?" she asked Konan terrified. Konan shushed her "go home and tell Deidara. The two of you decide what to do and then come see me first thing tomorrow" Reika nodded as Nagato escorted her home.
Deidara got home that night to find Reika sitting on the bed staring into space a look of utter defeat and complete fear on her pale face. It was obvious to the blonde bomber she had been crying. Deidara immediately worried "are you ok hm?" he asked wrapping his arms around her. She just handed him a little stick that looked like something he'd seen someone take a temperature with. He glanced down at it and there was a little green plus sign in the little window thing. Deidara was confused "what does it mean hm?" he asked shaking it and peering at the little green sign.
Reika looked up at him with blank eyes "it means…I'm pregnant" she began sobbing again. Deidara froze "as in…a baby?" Reika nodded through her tears "who's is it hm?" he asked completely discombobulated "yours silly" she said, even through her tears she still managed to laugh at him. Deidara did not do well in personal situations like this, he got flustered. The former-terrorist was dumbfounded "you mean we're having a baby hm?" he asked her "as in a little baby hm?" Reika nodded and began crying harder. Deidara finally snapped out of his daze and comforted Reika "hey it's alright…this isn't anything to panic over. It's just a baby…we handled Sasori. hm" he said confidently.
Reika looked at him in disbelief "we nearly killed him…three times" she said. Deidara turned red "yeah well, we're not gonna be taking this baby on any missions now are we hm?" Reika just shook her head and cried harder. Eventually the redhead had cried herself to sleep for the second time that day and was resting on Deidara's lap. Deidara was staring at the little stick thing how can something so insignificant and small affect someone's life like this? he wondered
He glanced down at Reika's head on his lap, dried tears graced her cheeks and her eyelashes still had left over tears clinging to them. He gently brushed them off causing her to stir slightly. He thought about how this would affect them and promised that tomorrow, they'd talk to Konan and Nagato. He picked up the sleeping redhead and placed her on the bed, climbing in next to her he wondered what tomorrow would bring.
