Chapter 2- Always Forever
Amu POV- 2 weeks later…
I was vomiting again. This was the 4th time this week. My hair stuck to the back of my neck and my shirt clung onto me. I needed a shower, badly. Since I was already in the bathroom, I just took off my clothes and chucked them into the washing basket. I let the warm water run down my body, it felt refreshing.
I reached over for my strawberry soap. There was nothing there. I groaned, I had finished using it yesterday, last time I felt sick. I got out of the shower and opened the cabinet above the sink. Reaching for a new bar of soap, I knocked over a box and it fell to the ground. I groaned again. Great… Abandoning the bar of soap, I bent down to pick the box back up. It rattled slightly. Standing back up straight I placed it back with all my other toiletries. I paused as I put it back, remembering what was inside it. Inside were tampons, tampons which I haven't used for quite a while now…
I clung onto the sink for support and slowly counted the days. Last time I had it was 3 weeks before he left… that would make today the 35th day… I sank onto the bathroom floor and looked down at my stomach. It wasn't possible…I can't…I can't be pregnant…I've only done 'it' once, with Ikuto, and he…he… he's like on the other side of the globe!
I staggered to my bed not caring that I would be making it wet since I was fresh out of the shower. A baby… a baby... I grabbed my phone and pressed the speed dial.
They picked up on the second ring.
"R-Rima, c-can you come over?"
"Amu! What's worng?" I could hear Nagi, Utau and Kukai in the background as well. They were arguing.
"Amu! Are you okay?!" Utau had grabbed the phone off Rima.
"I-I…I'm…" I started sobbing.
"We're coming right away. You're at your house right?" Rima had the phone back.
"Yes…" I hung up. I couldn't bear it anymore. I hugged my knees, letting my tears flow freely now.
Tyres screeched on my driveway 5 minutes later. Either Kukai or Utau was driving, I could tell, normally it would take longer. The doors slammed shut and I heard 4 pairs of footsteps running to my room. My door flew open.
"Amu!" I looked at them, eyes swollen. The 4 of them stood at my door, panting. Kukai and Nagi's faces had turned red straight away when they saw me.
"Uhh...we'll just wait downstairs…" they ran down. Utau closed the door behind them and sat on my bed next to me.
"Amu, what's wrong?" Rima sat on the other side of me, on my left.
My tears continued flowing. "I…I-Ikuto…"
Utau spied the phone next to me. "Ikuto said something didn't he. I am going to kill him!"
I shook my head. "N-no…it wasn't him. It's not him. It's…I…" My bangs covered my face, "I'm…I'm pregnant." I whispered.
Rima froze. Utau looked confused. "What did you say?"
I whispered it again, only a bit louder. Utau still didn't hear me. "Huh?"
"I-I said…I'm preganant."
"WHAT!!"
Kukai and Nagi banged on the door. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, go back downstairs." Rima shouted to them.
"Okay…" they left.
Utau was still not over the shock. "A-are you sure?"
I looked her in the eye. "I'm 99% sure."
"Well there's still that 1%" Rima said.
"And there's one way to make sure," Utau added. "KUKAI!"
They both came outside my door again. "What?"
"Go to the shops and buy a pregnancy test." Utau ordered them.
There was silence on the other side. "Uhh…Utau…is there something you haven't told me?"
"No there isn't, just go and buy one. Nagi go with him in case he gets distracted by some ramen eating contest."
"Fine."
"Ne, Amu… the baby is Ikuto's right?" Rima asked
I didn't say anything, I just stared at my bed
"IT"S NOT?!"
I shook my head again. "No, it is…but he…I… whenever I think of family I always thought of just the 6 of us; you, Utau, Ikuto, Nagi and Kukai. You've all been there for me whenever I've needed you especially when my actual family…died in that accident. I've never thought of being a mother. Never…"
"Does Ikuto know?" Utau asks.
"No, I haven't told him. And I… don't want to…yet, at least." After all… he'll probably come on the next flight back to Japan just to see me and his career would then be in ashes. Or worse… he might not love me anymore…
They understood how I felt. "Amu," Utau held my hand while Rima held my other, "Whatever happens between you and my brother, we'll still be your friends. That's what these bracelets are for aren't they?" She held up her free hand, on it was a delicate silver ID bracelet that we each had. On Rima's, was engraved, 'Always'. On mine, 'Forever' and on Utau's 'Friends'.
"Mhmm…" I tried smiling at them, instead I tasted the bitterness of my tears.
"Ikuto's the only person who can stop you crying isn't he?" a hint of jealously was in Rima's voice. "There's still us though…we'll stay with you…"
We held each other for what seemed to be hours before we heard Kukai's and Nagi's footsteps.
Utau's anger flared, she quickly wrapped a blanket around me before opening the door. "What took you so long?!"
"I told you we should have gone to the chemist instead of the doctor's." Nagi whispered to Kukai.
Utau screeched. "You went to the doctor's?"
"What's wrong with going to the doctor's? I had no idea which one to buy, there were so many. So we went next door where there was a clinic. Everyone went wild when we went in, we walked over to the receptionist and asked if we could see the best doctor in here. She said yes and led us to a doctor. I told him that we wanted to buy the most accurate pregnancy test. He took one long look at us and asked which one of us was the mother and which one was the father."
She raised an eyebrow at Kukai.
"I told him that the 'mother' wasn't any of us but a friend of ours, Amu. He asked us if he meant Hinamori Amu, one of the singers for PANDORA. I said yes. He then asked which one was the father, and I told him again that neither of us was the father, that Ikuto was the father. His eyes went huge and asked if I meant Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I realised then that it'll take forever for this doctor dude to actually say anything proper so we just left and went back to the shop next door." Kukai said in one breath.
"How'd you know that it was me who was pr- that it was Ikuto's and mine?" I asked.
"Quite easy actually." Nagi flicked his hair (A/N: I can so imagine him doing that ^^) "It wasn't Utau who was pregnant because well, she said it herself. And it was Rima because…"
"Because they haven't done it together yet." Kukai said. Nagi and Rima blushed. "That left you, and we knew it was Ikuto's cause we all know his perverted ways."
Utau's eye twitched. "You…didn't actually tell that doctor their names did you?..."
