Rima watches as Zero's face change colors for a few minutes, just to see if he'd start breathing again on his own but after the three minute mark passes she sighs, stands up, and helpfully pats his back, reminding him that breathing is a necessary evil of life and if he wants life to continue, he should probably start breathing again.

He finally submits to her superior logic and takes in a stunted wheeze, then seems to get the hang of it and quickly drags in several lungfuls of air. She doesn't hold it against him of course. It's quite a shock really, they'd only been dating around four months so, yes, she realizes, and it's definitely a shock. Only her upbringing as a noble had kept her from going into hysterics when she found out after all. So she can't blame the hunter.

He looks at her face, then down at her stomach, and then looks up at her again. His eyes have taken of a rather pitiful, kicked puppy look, begging her to tell him what she said wasn't true. She sighs, she'd really been hoping he would be more supportive about this and was hoping this was just shock. To test the theory she let her lower lip quiver, just a little bit, and it did the trick.

His eyes widened and he straightened up, pulling her into his arms.

"Sorry, that was crappy reaction; you just caught me off guard." He reassures her, rubbing his hand up and down her back. She sighs in relief and relaxes against him. He'd worried her there for minute and she didn't want to go through this on her own.

He pulls back to look her in the face. "So, we're pregnant huh?" She just about melts at the 'we' part, though it doesn't show on her face, she was a noble of course, so like him.

"Yes," she say's shyly. "One of the maids found me in the kitchen munching ice-cream and pickles she asked me how long I'd been like this and a few other things, then she went and got me a test, it was positive."

Zero gives her the 'deer-caught-in-headlights' look again, before taking a deep breath and smiling at her.

"Well, okay, what does this mean for us? You wanna, I dunno, get married; we should at least see if we can get a room here together, so I can take care of you. The Headmaster probably won't mind."

Rima tries not to giggle at Zero's wince over mentioning the Headmaster, who was going to go nuts over the thought of the pair of them having a baby. She, being the refined model and nobel she was, kept her wince on the inside.

Rima again gets her warm and tingly feeling and this time lets it show on her face. Thank you Zero, I would love that, only one problem though." She pauses and Zero gives her a 'what?' look.

"Well, for us to get married we first need you to ask my father's permission, and of course we need to tell him and my mother about my, um, condition."

Zero's eyes widen.

"Tell your parents? Ask your Father?" He parrots back.

Then Zero Kiryu, ex-human, Kaname-hating, eternally scowling, fan-girl scaring, Kain-throwing, scourge of the vampires, fainted dead away.

Rima sighed bemusedly and pulled out her cell phone to call her mother to tell her when she and Zero would be by.
