Luke recently had just got done from his recent job, apparently Gill wanted him to make an EXTREME table. But, then changed his mind for just a table. Guh, what a party pooper he is! Luke traveled up the path from Garmon Mines to his house he shared with Akari. As he walked, he dragged his axe behind him. Dirt was being smeared across his boots, and the tails of his bandana were being blown by the wind. Just a casual day for him as usual.
He strolled his way on up to the front steps, and opened the door. Only to find his small wife laying down in her bed, looking extremely sick... What?! The blue haired boy stood there for a moment, trying to analyze what he was seeing. Akari. SICK?
"Akari?..." Luke spoke softly, walking up to the bedside. "What happened?"
Akari opened her eyes slowly, and let out a small smile. "Oh hey Luke," She said. "Heh, I guess... I don't know."
Luke knew she was lying, obviously she knew what had happened. She even said she'd take care of herself while she was pregnant.
"Tell me. Y'know we can tell each other anything!" He grabbed her small hand, and rubbed it. "Please? Yesterday you were fine and now you're just..."
"Okay, Okay... I might've accidently went mining.." The brunettes eyes lowered. "Without... Dr. Jin's permission."
Luke looked down at her, stunned. Did she even know how bad it was for someone to get sick while they're pregnant?
"I'm really sorry... It's just I had too! We didn't have any money at the time, and it was my only option..." She said.
"It's fine... I mean, we should really get you checked out at the clinic," He looked down at her fragile body, she could seriously hurt herself if she tried. But then again, she's the strongest girl he knows. " I-I mean if you want too!-"
"Luke." She giggled a bit. "Don't worry, we are!..."
-
Surprisingly when they got some tests done at the clinic, Jin seemed to be a bit... Worried? What was this about?
"Oh... Uhm." Jin Adjusted his glasses as he scanned a few papers of the recent tests. "Luke, I'd like to speak to you in private." The doctor whispered so Akari couldn't hear.
Luke nodded, and the two of them walked into the front lobby
.
"I don't know how to say this to you. But, your wife is really sick." He placed the papers down on a small waiters desk. "And just so you know..." Jin took a deep sigh.
"Tell me already." Luke's voice changed completely. "What do I need to know?"
"It's 50\50 chance your wife may or may not make it through the delivery."
The carpenter stood still. "You're joking, right?"
Jin stood silently, making his point. "I'm not one to lie, Luke," Looks down for a few more seconds. "It scares me too, y'know."
And that's when Luke's heart sank
AN: My apologies if this story's off to a crappy start. It's my first story anyways.
But besides that, reviews are welcome.
