Here's some background information:
Yuki is seventeen years old, attending Tokyo high school.
She was adopted at the age of seven, and has no memories of her childhood life or who her real parents are. All she knows is that they are supposedly "dead." After getting a job as secretary at a major fashion agency, Yuki moved out renting an apartment four door's down from her parents who are in room 27.
Yori, Yuki's childhood friend, goes to the same school as her. She's Yuki's twin in almost everyway.
Ayame is Yuki's adoptive mom (you'll see her later in the chapter)
Natsuke is Yuki's adoptive dad (you'll see him later in the chapter)

I don't own vampire knight. Happy?
"What?" Yori asked, "When, why, how, didn't you ever hear of protection?"
"I know," Yuki sobbed, "I just, I never expected this to happen to me."
"Didn't you pay attention to health in middle school," Yori preached. "All they ever talked about was, don't have sex, if you have to, use a condom, Teen pregnancy can happen to anyone, blah blah blah."
"This isn't funny," Yuki snapped. "What am I going to do? I'm still in high school. Shit!" She said as she dropped a plate. Clusters of broken glass littered the floor. "I just can't do anything right" Yuki cried.
"Shh, it's okay. We'll figure something out. You know, there's always adoption," Yori said.
"No"
"Abortion?"
"No"
"Yuki, you can't be serious about keeping this baby"
"I can't just abandon it, do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find a family? Moreover, the only information I got about my real parents were that they died. For all I know, that could have been a lie. I don't want my child to be brought up that way"
"I know Yuki, but what else can you do?" Yori asked.
"I don't know" Yuki replied.
"You could ask your parents. You could also find this Kaname guy. Anyway, you aren't even sure if you're pregnant" Yori said.
"Yes I am" Yuki said, showing her the pregnancy stick, "It's positive."
Yori groaned. "Yuki, how do you always get yourself into messes, come on we're going out"
"Where"
"You're to chicken to ask your parents to help you, so I'm going to ask for you."
"We can't. Unless you've forgotten, I got my own apartment so I wouldn't have to live with them anymore."
"Nonsense, no one ever wants to get away from there parents, they give you free food!"
"That's what you think" Yuki grumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing"
"I thought so, let's go"
Yuki took one last look at her apartment before walking out. God knows when she would be able to come back. When her parents find out, they'd probably restrain her to a chair or something, just to make sure she wouldn't get out.
"I don't see why you're so against visiting your parents" Yori said, "After all, you live only a few doors away"
"That wasn't my choice, this apartment just happened to be pretty cheap" Yuki replied.
Walking down the hall, Yuki came to a stop in front of room 27. "Here goes nothing" she whispered to herself.
She knocked on the door, and waited. "Just a moment" someone replied from inside.
"Yuki!" screamed Ayame, Yuki's mother as she opened the door. "Why are you just standing there, come in"
"Welcome to hell" Yuki whispered to Yori as they walked inside.
"Stop being so dramatic" Yori whispered back, "your mom's really nice."
"Do you girls want tea?" Ayame asked as they all sat down.
"No thanks" Yori answered.
"Aren't you guys supposed to be in school? It is Monday, am I right" Ayame asked.
"Were skipping" Yuki answered.
Ayame wondered what was really going on. Lifting an eyebrow, she asked
"Yuki, what's wrong. You're not the type of person to skip, and you never visit. Your father and I have been worried about you these past few months."
"Mother, I'm pregnant" Yuki said.
Ayame choked on the tea she was drinking. Coughing, she asked "What?"
"Stop joking with me Yuki, what's really going on"
"I'm not joking Mother"
"How could you have been so stupid" Ayame screamed. "Your father and I thought you about responsibility. We even gave you the sex talk. Kids these days, always acting older then they really are. You're only 17. How can you be having a baby? You just wait until your father gets here young lady. You're grounded. I don't know what we were thinking, letting you get your own apartment. You'll be one hundred before you're let out again. I'm going to make sure you're chained to this very chair, just to make sure you never get out."
"Mom can you just shut up for just a second. Why do you think I moved out in the first place? You are to damn controlling. I'm here asking for your help, not your idle lectures. Now are you going to help or not" Yuki screamed back.
"I don't have any choice now do I?" Ayame said. "I can't turn my own daughter out for my own stupidity. We should have never let you moved out. I told your father this was a bad idea"
"Thank you" Yuki said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Don't cry honey, it's going to be okay" Ayame said.
"No it isn't, everything's going to be different. It's never going to be okay" Yuki cried.
"Shh, you have a job and a home, that's the best thing right now. What matters the most is that we get you girls to school on time. I'm not letting you skip" Ayame scolded, getting up to comfort her daughter.
"I told her she should get an abortion" Yori said.
"I never did tell you guys a story" Ayame said. "When I was younger, your father and I were very stupid. We used to fool around all the time, sometimes a bit too much. We were in the same situation you're in right now once. We were a very passionate couple back then. I remember it as if it were yesterday…
Flash back
Ayame's pov
"Ayame" called Natsuke. "Let's meet up at my house later today, okay?"
"Sure" I replied.
"Your father and I had been going out for a few years already, and we were very intimate. Of course, we were always careful. We made sure we used protection. I had gone to his house, knowing fully well, what we were going to do that night. Alright skimming forward" Ayame said.
"Ayame, are you alright? You seemed a bit scared when you called" Natsuke said.
"No I'm not alright" I sobbed. "I'm pregnant"
"What? How's that possible?" Natsuke stammered.
"How am I suppose to know?" I told him, turning away.
"What are we going to do" he said.
"I don't know" I said back.
"Back then, parents weren't as understanding. That's why I never told my mother what had happened, though she did find out later. Your father and I did a self-abortion, but something went wrong causing me to end up in the hospital. That's why I'm not able to have children, because of a childhood mistake. There's not a day that doesn't go by when I don't regret making that decision. You live with that guilt for the rest of your life Yuki, knowing that you killed someone. That's why I want you to think about what you're going to do" Ayame said. "Enough chit chat, you guys need to get to school, and I have to call you father" she said.
"See I told you, there was nothing to be afraid of. Your mom ended up knowing exactly what you are going through," Yori said as they drank a bubble tea at Yuki's new favorite store, Ichi Umi's (they ended up skipping school anyway).
"Yah, yah, what ever. You might as well say I told you so, hey are you going to eat that?" Yuki pointed at her friends untouched bubble tea.
"Here have it," Yori said. "Jeez, you haven't been pregnant for what, more then a day and you're already having cravings" she grumbled to herself.
Turning around at the last moment, Yori saw Yuki running to the bathroom.
"Yuki are you okay?" Yori asked over a very sick Yuki.
"No I'm not okay," Yuki said. "Pregnancy is going to be horrible."
Yori just chuckled and hugged her friend. "Only time can tell," she preached.
9 months later
Screams carried across the hall. Two parents stood waiting outside a door. After two hours of pacing, the faint wail of a newborn baby stopped the parent's worries. Yori came running through the door.
"It's a healthy baby!" Yori screamed.
Ayame squealed. "What is it?" she asked.
"A boy!" Yori replied.
Yuki's dad, Natsuke, had been sitting in a corner looking pale. Suddenly standing up, he asked,
"Can we see her?"
"Yep," Yori said.
Yuki was laying down holding her baby when her parents came bursting through the door.
"Yuki!" Ayame screamed.
"Hi mom. Hi dad," Yuki said.
"What are you going to name him?" Yuki's father asked.
"Daichi, Daichi Yamamoto (Yuki's adoptive last name)" Yuki said cuddling Daichi. "Isn't he so cute?" she said.
"Hai," Yori said.
"Yes, very cute" Ayame said. "Natsuke, doesn't he have your nose, look."
"Hn..." he said, "maybe, but look at his eyes, there almost red."
"I wonder where he got those from" Ayame said.
Yuki was sitting up now, being quiet. She knew what question they were going to ask. Her parents had been avoiding asking her who the father was for quite some time now.
"He gets his eyes from his father" Yuki said, "and that's all I'm going to say about the matter."
"Alright honey, you rest," Ayame said.
"See you later," Yori said as they walked out.
Yuki looked down at the sleeping Daichi. "He's the spitting image of his father, Yuki thought, "but why are his eyes red?"
Yay! Another chapter done. Why are Daichi's eyes red? Keep reading and you will find out. The next chapter is going to be out hopefully by Saturday.
