Hey, everyone... read and review...
I think i forgot to do a disclaimer last time... Sorry about that. x.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE FRUITS BASKET CHARACTERS...(except kyo's kid if/when he/she is born. x.)
WARNING: I am sorry for any OOC-ness. forgive me. And, some swearing in this chapter.x.
Kyo's pov
I was so scared, about so many things... The baby for a start. Would I be able to raise it right? Would I be a good parent?...
Another thing is telling Yuki... I dont want to tell him... maybe i could convince Hatori-nii to tell him instead... That might work...
Another thing to add to the list is the birth... Apparently, there is a 80% chance that I will die during the pregnancy... or, if im lucky... I might survive until the birth. I dont want to die... but I want to bring this little child into the world... even if I have to give my own life. This unborn baby is all I have and I am not about to give it up!
Oh, and to top it off the girls were arriving today... Akito, Tohru, Uo, Hanajima and Kisa will be staying with me and shishou, at least until the baby is born. When Uo and Hanajima found out they absolutely insisted on being a part of it. I guess I am glad because I count them as family too, even if they aren't Sohma's... and Momiji, Hatsuharu, Rin, Ritsu, Ayame, Hatori, Hiro, Shigure, and Kureno are coming for dinner. The only one who is still clueless is Yuki... Which is annoying... But I sure as hell don't want to be the one to tell him. I am still scared of his reaction.
I heared a knocking at the door and I didnt even bother moving as Shishou went and greeted everyone at the door. I saw as the girls came in first. Tohru sat on my right, holding my hand, Kisa sat next to Tohru smiling sweetly, Kagura was sat on the floor infront of the sofa watching everyone with a huge grin on her face, Rin, Uo and Hanajima stood behind the sofa I was sitting on, and Akito stood akwardly in the corner staring at her feet.
I wathed her for a minute before sighing loudly which caught her attention. She hesitantly looked up at me through her lashes and I smiled and patted the space on the sofa on my left. She slowly walked over and sat down beside me, obviously still a little worried. I leaned back and watched her as a thick silence fell over us. It seemed that everyone knew not to talk until we had Akito acting like her normal self. She looked up at me and whispered;
"I'm sorry, Kyo. I was so horrible to you... I am so so sorry... I hope you can forgive me and that we can be friends."
I smiled slighly and put my arm around her small shoulders pulling her closer... I kissed her head and whispered in her ear;
"It's ok, Akito. I forgive you, it's fine. No worries, ok? I know you were just trying to do what you thought was right. We will be good friends... I know we will."
She looked up at me shocked. She stared at me with wide-eyes for a few minutes before she smiled and allowed a single tear to streak down her face. I quickly wiped the tear away and she hugged me. I smiled. I doubted it would -no- could get any better than this. We were all sat in a comfortable silence until Uo spoke.
"So... you one of the girls now? We would be glad to have you."
"I dunno" I replied. "Does that make me the gay best friend?"
everyone laughed and Kagura shouted;
"YEY... I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A GAY BEST FRIEND!"
Everyone chuckled at her and we all broke out into a long conversation about nothing in particular.
Yuki's pov
"Where is everyone?"
I spoke out-loud to myself. I was so bored. Where was everyone? People were still bustling about the main house but none of the zodiac... everyone was gone. Even . Ever since Kyo vanished I felt like everyone has been avoiding me or has been hiding something from me. Im probably just paranoid... but I can't shake the feeling.
Kyo's pov
Soon the rest of the guys joined us in the living room. Momiji, who had been dating Torhu for that last couple of the weeks, Came in and immidiatly made a bee-line for Tohru. He gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek and then sat on the floor resting his head on her knee's. Shigure came to sit on the arm of the sofa next to Akito while smiling gently at her, a detail that I did not miss dispite that fact that everyone thinks I am un-observant. Hatsuharu ruffled my hair before standing behind me, wrapping his arm tightly around Rin's waist. Ayame and Ritsu suddely appeaared infront of me shouting;
"KYOOO- YOU'RE GUNNA HAVE A BA-A-ABY! YOU'RE GUNNA BE A MO-O-OMMY!"
I flinched at the high pitched shout echoing around my skull and growled at them. Hatori came over and told them that they were giving me a headache. Next thing I knew... I had a migrane... I am not sure, but I think it is from this...
"KYOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I AM SOOOOOOO SOOOOORRRRRRRRYY... I DESEREVE TO BE PUNISHED! I SHOULD RUN AWAY AND STOP CAUSING POOR KYO PAIN! I AM SOOOOO SOOOORRRYY WORLD... PLEASE FORGIVE ME WORLD-"
Ritsu was cut off mid-sentence by Shigure and Hatori tackling him to the ground, tying him up (incliding a gag) and putting him in the corner of the room until he calmed down. Hatori then tried to get Ayame to leave and/or shut up while Shigure went back to his seat next to Akito.
"No. I dont want to shut up, Ha'ri... I want my little niece or nephew to know my voice." Ayame whined. Niece... Nephew... Ayame... Ayame is Yuki's brother... Yuki is the kids dad... Ayame was his/her uncle... OH, crap. Everyone laughed as they watched me freeze up. I sighed...
"I only hope the poor kid isn't anything like you."
Everyone laughed even harder. I watched again as a few secret couples revealed themselves... Kureno decided to be brave and hold Uo's hand... Shigure whispered in Akito's ear. I dont know what he said but it made her blush... Ritsu was playing with Ayame's hair and Ayame was letting him !... Hiro had perched himself on the other arm of the sofa next to Kisa and it looks like he has even warmed up to Tohru, well, a bit. Momiji had managed to shift so that he was sat on the back of the sofa with Tohru sat on the sofa infront of him. He was stroking her hair. Hatsuharu had moved onto an armchair opposite the sofa with Rin sat in his lap, sharing sweet kisses and whispering into the others ear. And dont think i missed the sly looks Hatori-nii and Hanajima where sharing. I sighed and stood up. Instantly everyone stopped talking.
"What? Carry on. I am just going to the bathroom"
I watched as the girls nodded while the boys started to stand up. See you after the kid is born, when you come back to the mainhouse, ok?" Said Hiro.
I nodded and everyone wished me good luck and gave me a hug. I watched as Rin and Haru left hand in hand. Ayame and Ritsu vanished, Ritsu still playing with Aya's hair. Hiro kissed Kisa on with cheek before giving her a huge grin and running off, out of the door. Kureno squeezed Uo's hand kissed her cheek and whispered something in her ear before he left. Kagura smiled at me before racing of after the rest of the group. Shishou, Tohru, Kisa, Akito, Uo, Hanajima, Shigure, Hatori and Momiji stayed back. I stared at them with a raised eyebrow.
"I am your Doctor so I will be staying... but Shishou is going back." stated Hatori-nii.
"WHAT?" I yelled.
"Well, I can stay but I just assumed that you would want someone to tell Yuki for you... I am coming back up in a few days to bring the rest of my stuff home so I will see you then... I will have told Yuki by then too." Answered Shishou.
"Ha'ri... do you think it would be ok if I stayed? I dont wanna leave Tohru and I will help take care of Kyo... I will try not to be any trouble I promise."
"Quiet down Momiji... I have a head ache." I stated quietly.
"Ok, fine... you usually hang around me anyway... and I am sure Tohru could keep you under control... Fine Momiji you can stay if you agree to help by assissting me, ok?"
"I PROMISE! THANK YOU, HA'RI!"
I hit Momiji on the head and collapsed onto the sofa, snuggling tiredly into Akito's side.
"O-o-ow... somebody, Kyo hit me!"
Momiji's whine echoed throughout the mountain while everyone else in the room tried to stifle their laughter... and failed miserably.
I watched a while longer as Shigure kissed Akito fully on the lips after whispering something in her ear, making her blush like mad. And then he had to leave. Shigure left with Shishou after a final wave back at us.
"Anyone up for a movie?"
2 days later... Yuki's pov
"YUKI... HEY YUKI... I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!"
"Aah, Shishou... What is it you need to talk to me about?"
It is quite rare that Shishou needs to talk to me. Ever since I quit attending his dojo, he hasn't really spoken to me much... well, we barely see each other. Our family, and the people we care about are pretty much the only thing we have in common.
"It's about Kyo."
"What about him? Do you know where he is? How is he? Is he ok? Where is he?"
"He... is taking a break... Somethings happened. I dont think he is ok at all."
That single sentence made me want to throw up. I stared at shishou with wide, frightened eyes.
"What is wrong with him?"
"Nothing is particularily wrong... its just worrying. He is pregnant... with your child I believe."
That wasnt a question is was more of an accusation. I nodded slowly and felt my knee's go weak. Its impossible... Kyo is male. Believe me, I know. He cant be pregnant, can he? But... what if he was? I dont think Shishou would lie about something as important as this. Kyo was carrying my baby. Mine and Kyo's baby... I would be a father. I mentally shook myself, realising that I was still stood staring at Shishou like an idiot.
"I-Is he ok?"
"Well... he is scared, but other than that he is alright for now."
"For now?"
"There is an 80% chance that he will die during the pregnancy... Or, if he is lucky, he might survive until the birth, but it is highly unlikely that both the child and Kyo will survive."
"Get rid of it." I didnt even think about what I was saying. Did I really mean it? Did I want them to get rid of my baby? Yes, I was sure. If having the baby would kill Kyo then I dont want him to have it. I dont want him to die.
"W-what?"
"Tell Kyo to get rid of it... Get an abortion. I dont want the baby and it might kill him so its best he doesnt have it..."
That was a lie. I did want the baby. I wanted to be a father. I wanted to have a baby with Kyo... But I loved Kyo... I didnt want him to die. It was hurting so much to even think about killing mine and Kyo's baby, but It was even more painful to know that having this baby would kill Kyo. I looked up to see Shishou attempting to glare holes into my head. I was shocked. Was Shishou really willing to risk his adopted son's life just to have the baby?
"I will tell Kyo what you said, But I highly doubt he will listen to you. Kyo wants this baby. Kyo loves this child more than anything, and right now, the baby is all he has. He has never had anything in his life that makes him honestly, truely happy. This does. He isnt about to give it up so easily. There is a 20% chance that he will survive and he wants to take the risk... We are all on his side, besides you, and we are going to do everything possible to help him live through this. Dont expect anyone to agree with you on this Yuki. We all love Kyo, and he loves his baby. We will protect them both. If Kyo doesn't live through the birth then we will take care of the baby, because thats what he would want. Since you are so against having the baby, dont expect to be in its life."
"FINE. I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BABY. IT MIGHT KILL KYO. THE BABY IS JUST A REMINDER OF A MISTAKE ANYWAY. I NEVER SHOULD OF SLEPT WITH KYO IN THE FIRST PLACE."
Shishou looked quite taken aback with this comment. I knew it was a mistake to sleep with Kyo... it was a mistake to fall in love with him. But i dont regret it... I will never regret it. Kyo is my everything and I am not about to let an unborn child ruin that for me.
"Besides... think of what Akito will do if she find out."
"Akito knows. She is with Kyo right now... looking after him. She wants this for him as much as the rest of us." He spat. He was obviously furious with me but I didnt care. I was angry at Kyo for risking his life. I was angry at everyone else for allowing him to. I glared at Shishou before storming off and going home. When I got there most of the zodiac was there.
Ayame's pov
Everyone was silent, waiting for someone to break the silence. Me, being Yuki's older brother, decided that I should talk to him.
"Hello little brother. Did you speak to Shishou?"
He nodded, signalling that he had.
"You all knew?" He accused. We all nodded, keeping our eyes on him incase he decided to do anything stupid. He glared at all of us one by one.
"How do you feel? You're gonna be a daddy, Yuki."
"I am not. I want Kyo to get rid of the damn thing." There was a collective gasp around the room while everyone glared at Yuki. This was dispicable behaviour, especially coming from the seemingly perfect Yuki Sohma. I was shocked that he was acting this way. Before anyone could respond to his horrible comment he had run upstairs and locked himself in his room.
Yuki's pov
I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room. I collapsed onto my bed and cried myself to sleep. That night I dreamed of what it would be like to have a child. A daughter, or a son, anything. I was convinced that I would love it. I would love being a parent... But in my dream, Kyo was right there by my side. In the real world, he wouldn't be. Life would be awful without Kyo in it. So... I had to do what I thought was right... getting id of the baby would ensure Kyo's safety. I knew I was being selfish but I couldnt help it. I loved Kyo too much to just let him die. I had to do something. But what?
Akito's pov
We had just gotten off the phone with Shishou. He had called to tell us what Yuki had said. It was horrible. Kyo got angry. Then he was furious. Then he was sad. Then he curled up on the sofa and cried his heart out. I tried so hard to comfort him but he was so distraught, It seemed like a waste of time and effort.
"H-how could he say that about his own baby?"
Great. Now he was angry as well as sad. What the hell was I supposed to do? I have no idea how to handle people when they are like this. After panicking for about 10 minutes I finally settled down next to Kyo along with Tohru, Momiji, Uo and Hanajima, comforting him and crying along with him. Ha'ri was standing in the corner glaring holes into space, and I would be willing to bet my life that he was planning Yuki's death.
Hatori's pov
If that bastard thinks that he can do this to my baby brother then he is in for one hell of a shock. I am going to kill him. Look at how upset he has made Kyo.
"H-Ha'ri-nii... I-I don't know What to do? S-Should I get rid of it?"
I stared at him in shock. My eyes were wide and my mouth was hanging open. Get rid of it? He couldn't do that. It would kill him. He loves this baby more than anything. He needs this baby more than I care to admit. It is the only thing keeping him sane. Poor thing, he has never had anything in his life. Not really. Shishou tried to give him everything he wanted, but some things you cant give as a gift... This baby is giving him what he has always wanted... A family. If he gives it up he will never live with himself. But if I tell him that he is wrong to even be thinking about it now he will just be more determined. I know what Kyo is like. He doesn't like being told that he is wrong, especially in this state. God, What am I going to do?
Hope you liked it...
