A SECOND CHANCE
I don't own ghost hunt
-Chapter 1-
Mai was tired; she had a long day and now was in her small apartment. Staring at the window, she remembered the good times at SPR and when she was clueless of the world. SPR had closed 2 years ago and her life made a huge turn after that, her life was difficult now, she juggled between school, work and family. Yes, she had a family now.
Mai looked down to see the little guy that brought happiness to her life. Little Haru was almost 1 year old, running her hand over his cheek she couldn't help but smile, he was everything for her now and that is why she studied and worked so hard because she wanted to give him a better life that what she had.
After SPR closed she had to find another job, it was a difficult thing no one would want to hire a teenage orphan that lived alone. But that didn't bring her down and she kept trying, until she found a job that would take her and will work with her school hours. She meet Haru's father there, he was friendly, so charming, he treated her like a princess and was total opposite of Naru.
She still hadn't forgotten about Naru but her friends Keiko and Michiru convinced her to get to know him and maybe she could fall in love again and forget Naru. So after knowing him for 3 months and with his insistence of going out on a date she finally said yes, that was the biggest mistake of her life. After they had dinner she started to get sick and he offered to take her home witch she accepted. She doesn't remember anything after that; she woke up the next day in a hotel, without her clothes and all sore. She knew what had happen, now she was ruin no one will ever want her anymore.
She cried for days in her apartment, after missing 3 days of work her boss contacted her informing her that she no longer had a job and will be sending her last check in the mail. She honesty didn't care she didn't want to work there and see Aki again. After that she got a job close to her home at a small tea shop, her boss and husband where the nicest people she had meet. They didn't care she was an orphan and where willing to work with her school hours. A month had gone by and Mai was sick every morning, she took it as she had a stomach problem and that was the reason she was having nausea and vomiting but after a month went by she decided to go to a clinic and see a doctor. That is when she got the news SHE WAS PREGNANT.
Mai left the clinic without saying anything; she couldn't bring herself to think. She was like a zombie for the next few days, she went to school, work and home but her brain still couldn't process the information. Until her friends asked her about Aki , everything came crashing. She explained to her friends what had happed; it took her forever because of her crying and sobs. They were very supportive, Keiko offered to take her to her father he was a doctor and could help, Mai was unsure but she agreed at the end. After explaining the situation to him, he gave her the options to terminate the pregnancy, it was rape so it will be legal for her to do or continue the pregnancy.
Mai couldn't take the option to terminate the pregnancy, it was against all her believes and if her mother could raise her without her father she would be able to raise her baby also. So she decided to keep it, Keiko's father offered to be her doctor with no charge. He considers Mai like her daughter and had offered several times to adopt her but she always refused, he admire her for her strong will and would support her in what he could. Mai argued that she will pay but he refused and finally convince her that he wouldn't take her money. He offered to see her that days that she didn't have school or work so she wouldn't loose time at school or money.
Mai decided to inform her employer's, they needed to know. After crying while informing them what had happen. Mr and Miss Kato were shocked, they never though something like that could happen to their lovely employee, she was so nice and caring. They said that that was no reason to fire her and she would be able to work there for as long as she wanted.
Now her baby was turning 1 year old, and even going thru a hard pregnancy and delivery she was happy she had someone and was no longer alone in this world. She had her son and he was her reason of living and wanting to be better at everything.
She kissed Haru's temple before she lay down to sleep next to him, tomorrow was her day off and she loved spending all day with her little guy.
