Chapter 2

"Veronica…no" mother stated in her very stern voice.

"Please momma…" I put up the best puppy eyes I could in order to convince her.

"Vernon…when I say no it means no. you are not going to the Dior store. You are way too young for it…those are too expensive for your age." Mother's stern voice made me pout and give up finally. I was mad at her. I mean seriously am I that young to buy Dior staff. Man I should have come alone, of course with daddy's credit card. Coming with mom was a mistake.

Then suddenly I notice my mom entering the Dior store. What the hell! She doesn't let me go and buy from there where as she is buying things for herself. I evilly laugh inside head you'll pay for this momma…

"Look who is shopping from Dior?" I put up the best sarcasm I could master. What happened next was nothing but a shock for me. Momma turned towards me with a huge grin on her face "Pick up whatever you want it will be all yours." This statement was good enough to make me sweat drop. "What on earth is going on? Are you on your period momma?" She ignored my question. Whatever even I don't have time for her nonsense at the moment, I better not waste my time. Ok now the things that I need…suddenly my mind blanked out "what do I need again?"

"Absolutely nothing!" the very familiar voice made me turns around and the person I saw was not someone I was expecting. But reality was reality…there she was standing tall with a soft smile on her face the tender princess "Yuki Kuran!" one of my best friend.

"Surprised seeing me?" like always she never stops smiling. It is something I love about her unlike her not so tender husband Zero Kiryu. "And by the way I'm not a Kuran anymore I'm a Kiryu now remember." She continued with pride. "Yes of course I remember…Mrs. Kiryu…so…where is he? The angry jerk?" I knew very well I can getaway teasing her about her husband with this very stupid innocent smile of mine. "Oh he is taking Lydia home." Yuki replied. "Lydia is here too?" Yuki nodded her head to reply. I raised my eyebrow in confusion because Lydia not informing me about coming was sort of strange. "So are you done with your shopping?" She tried to change the subject, to this question my only response was just a nod meaning no I'm not done. But the way she reacted it appeared that she doesn't even care whether I'm done or not. She started pulling me out of the store.

"Hey! I'm not done shopping yet."

"Yeah…but we don't have time for that now." She almost hissed. And here I was trying my level best trying to get out of her grip. At the moment which looked quite impossible.

"Yuki..let go."

"We will shop some other time, not today.."

"Nooooooooo! Not fair….i hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"

Ignoring all my crying and whining she dragged me to this mother and baby store along with her. What on earth is going on?

"Hey what are we doing here? Are you pregnant? How come you didn't tell me? I hate you.." I realized so many questions were driving her crazy. I could almost see her brows twitching. I congratulated myself for doing such a great job because I was really mad at her for ruining my precious time shopping.

"Mother is here.." she blurted out

"is my sister here too?"

"nope home." was her simple reply.

"Her hubby is in Dubai for now. So she has been doing tele shopping." I made the 'I understand' face at her statement.

"so tell me why are we at this store? Is anyone having a baby?" I could see her smiling. That is when it hit my head. "Congratulations Yuki.."

"Oh no..i'm not pregnant!" I sweat dropped at her reply. All on a sudden it hit then are there chance?

I mastered up all the courage I had in myself and making my innocent face and finally asked her the question in my mind

"so is Mrs Kuran pregnant?" Yuki nodded mischievously. "who is the father? Mr Cross?" Yuki's eyes went wide as plates.

"You know I'm right over here.." that voice made both me and Yuki frozen on the spot. I turned around only to find Juri Kuran standing there.

"OMG! You're here too..wow…Aunt Juri…"

I could see her standing exactly where she was smiling with her eyes closed.

"Veronica!" she called me spreading her arms out. I slowly approached her but then I was pulled into a tight embrace but I also returned it happily. "it's so nice to see you my love…Veronica." Then she freed me to take a good look at me. She examined me from head to toe. "Look at you…you've grown up so much. You'll get married soon." She was really embarrassing me. I knew for sure that I was blushing like a tomato. At times she can be as annoying as Kaien Cross.

"wait all of you are here but why?" I asked Juri trying to change the subject. "Nope all of us are not here, Kaname is in Dubai." She said proudly. "I heard…" I replied immediately. "So tell me Veronica…how is that wanna be musician doing?" this time her teasing made me role my eyes.

"Seriously don't say like that Aunt Juri…I know he will be a great musician one day."

"Well he better be…orelse who will take care of your shopping?"

" Ofcourse…Kaname will do…is that even a question?" My reply was so innocent that it made both the mother and daughter laugh. But soon our chit chat time came to an end as we heard

"I think we should be heading home now." Momma's voice got all our attention. And when I turned towards her all I could see was shopping bags. She was holding six of them; five of her assistants were holding…ok maybe there are about fifty to sixty bags. "What is wrong with you woman?" the reply to my question was getting hit by Juri's elbow.

"Oh my God all of you are acting weird..." i huffed.

"Veronica..."

"Yuki..."

"Girls..." that was Juri.

Our ride home was quite fun. It was always fun to be around the Kurans' specially Juri and Yuki. But there was one odd thing going on nobody was telling me what was going on. And I could see Juri Kuran being over excited even my mom was as excited was she was. Bingo! I got my conclusion. She was pregnant, she had to be. But then again whose child was she carrying? Mr Cross…will Yuki and Kaname have other sibling at a time like this. But I decided to keep these thought to myself. Rest of the time in the car I spent my time listening to the ladies planning their time. Wow! Women are annoying at times.

"You're the one to talk."

"Stop reading my mind Yuki."

After a really long ride we were finally home. As we entered this time it was my eyes that went wide as plates. Next thing I know my jaw was dropping. I covered it with both my hands. Now it all made sense at once, why all them were here…why momma rushed into the baby store..and Mrs Kuran being pregnant.

It wasn't Juri Kuran who was pregnant it was my sister….Lydia Mori-Kuran!
