A/N: I want to thank everybody who reviewed! Your all awesome! And a special thanks to Sparrowismyhummingbird who gave me an amazing idea of how to carry this on in I.T today!


I wandered down the halls of Kaibara High School slowly. It had been two weeks since my accident in the woods. I was eternally grateful for the help that Hatori gave me, he stayed by my bedside for a whole week, he held the bucket everytime I threw up and most of all he promised not to tell anyone about my condition. That was one of the most important things to me, if I wanted people to know then I would tell them and the people that were too thick to guess? Well I'd rather they thought I was overweight than pregnant. There were only three other people that knew about my situation, the man in the grey kimono (I never did find out his name), Carly and Amaya.

I couldn't help but notice that the students in my class were staring at my stomach, I don't know how many of them could tell or whether they thought I'd gotten fat over the half term holiday. Which ever it was I was fed up of them staring at me, well staring right through me almost.

I was in a terrible mood by the time I got to Maths. It was 10 minutes before the start of lesson and our class was beginning to assemble in the Maths room rather noisily.

"Umiko! Over here!" Cried Amaya loudly. She was grinning her head off and smiling over in direction, she's one of those people who have a contagious smile. It just spreads! She had a babyish face, framed by her long blonde hair on both sides that fell in loose ringlets. Generally she wore it in long pigtails so they bounced when she ran and today was no different, except most of the shorter strands of hair had escaped from her bunches and was now dangling in her eyes. Her cheeks were a bright red colour as if she'd just been running but her bright blue eyes sparkled with happiness, changing to purple if they caught the right amount of light.

"Hi Amaya, what have you been doing?" I asked, nodding at her messy hair and flushed cheeks.

"I was chasing the new Sohma boy. You know the one with the bright orange hair?" She grinned at me.

"You were chasing him?" I asked cautiously? I twisted my head slightly in her direction and gave her a confused look. She giggled.

"Yes! I wanted to hug him! But he just kept running and running and running and running and -"

"Let me guess. Running?" I laughed.

"No, then he jumped out the second floor window, landed on his feet and then he started running again." I was about to brush it aside and ask for the real answer when i realised she was being serious. It was a certain look she had when she was telling the truth about something like that. She would open her eyes wide, dip her head down slightly and look down the bridge of her nose at you.

"He jumped out the second floor window?" I repeated slowly."

"Yep! Anyway hows the morning sickness?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Shhh!" I said, "Not so loud!" I looked around crazily for anyone that might have heard when suddenly a large bang filled the room. There lying in the doorway of the Maths rooms was Carly Hensman. She was sat laughing to herself her brown hair falling in her face as she started to giggling into her hand. She looked up again after the laughing fit passed and shook her head violently so her hair fell perfectly into place with only the touch of her hand to sweep her fringe to the side Her emerald eyes were the same colour as the head phones that lay abandoned round her neck, the faint sound of Simple Plan could be heard from them as she obviously forgot to press pause. Carly was one of those people that everyone liked, she wasn't totally ditzy like Amaya (although we loved Amaya for it), she wasn't a bitch like most of the girls in the school nor was she a geek. She was a perfect amount of ditz, bitch and geek to make a perfect all rounder. Not to mention she was English. She transferred from England to live in Japan with her Aunt three years ago, rumour has it that she fell out with Mother after her Father died and didn't want to live with her anymore. Nobody dared ask her, not even us. If she wanted to tell us she would, and we respected that. All we knew was she was from England and had an accent most of the boys would die for.

"So!" She said as she picked herself up off the floor and came closer, "Hows the morning sickness?"

"Shhh!" I cried again, "People can hear you!"

"Aww come on Umiko! People have started guessing already." Carly said, Amaya pouting over her shoulder. It was true, people had started to be able to tell but until someone came right out and told me they knew then this baby was going to stay a secret. How hard could it be anyway?

"No." I stated bluntly.

"Does someone need a hug?" Asked Amaya.

"Well..." Before I could answer a mass off blonde hair and school girl came launching towards be and she wrapped herself round my neck tightly.

"Any better?" She asked gleefully her blue eyes beaming at me. I just didn't have the heart to tell that face no.

"Yes." I smiled at her.

Carly was about to ask me something, I could see it in her eyes but she never got the chance. The bell went off just at the moment drowning out anything she did say and also making the girl behind me jump in a very amusing fashion and making her ruin her nail varnish. The teacher strode wearing a rather bright floral print dress with black leggings underneath, the girl behind snickered loudly obviously sparing no thought for the womans feelings. The teacher however did not seem fazed she simply sniffed they air and commented,

"What is that disgusting smell, Haruhi." She looked at the girl behind me. "Put that nail varnish away, someone could drown in that smell." It was now our turn to laugh as she placed the bottle into her desk wafting the smell out the window lazily.


We walked slowly to Science, it wasn't a lesson we particularly enjoyed. Not with phsyco teacher and all that. No kidding on the first day of term he laid across two tables to demonstrate sleeping... These tables weren't empty tables either, they were being occupied by two young girls who got a nice faceful of teacher on their desk. Not an easy lesson to forget that's for sure.

The seconds ticked by so slowly, it was unbelievable. Amaya hadn't quietened down the whole lesson and for all I knew she could have been going on about how Mr Saki was planning to take over the world with whales that could fly but I really wasn't listening. I wasn't doing it to be mean, or even on purpose rather to trying an block out the pain in my stomach. It was a pain I knew all to well and generally meant a bout of morning sickness was brimming. I had yet to find a suitable gap to leave the lesson and recover in the saftey of the cloak room between Mr Saki's teaching and Amaya's talking but I was getting closer and closer to throwing up right there and then.

"Are there any questions?" Asked Mr Sake, I took this as my chance.

"Can I go and find my science text book Mr Saki? I left it in my last class." I asked innocently.

"Yes, of course." He nodded at me as I started to leave my seat. I disappeared into the corridor and bent double a hand on the wall taking deep breathes when a boy with deep purple hair emerged from the classroom. It took me a few moments to register who he was, then I realised. This was Prince Yuki Sohma. As I stared at him slightly I recognised his purple hair and purple eyes, much like my own only deeper in colour, from another place than school. He was also the boy that called the doctor, the boy that found in woods. The boy. He looked me silently for a while as I got paler and paler.

"Are you okay Miss?" He asked anxiously, I don't know why, but I trusted him. He didn't know I was pregnant. That Hatori doctor had promised he wouldn't tell anyone so why did he seem bothered about me?

"I-I feel a bit sick," I stammered stumbling a little as my arm gave in holding me up the wall. I expected to face plant the wall but I didn't, I came centimetres away from it but a small tug on the back of my school dress kept me standing up. I looked round to see his pale hands holding it as he smiled a little at me sympathetically.

"You'll be okay," He continued, you rubbing my back soothingly. His touch was nice, so nice it made me shiver slightly, suddenly the urge overcame me and I threw up into the near by bin. He clasped my hair in his hands scraping it back from my face so it didn't dangle in my vomit.

"Thank you," I said gratefully. He smiled at me and nodded quietly.

"Your the girl from the woods right?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry I caused such a mess," I apologized using a tissue to wipe away the sick from the corners of my mouth.

"It's okay, you can't help being ill. Maybe you shouldn't come to school at the moment." He advised me kindly.

"I'm not ill... I'm pregnant." I replied. Why did I tell him that? Why? He was going to walk away in disgust or call me something rude. The last thing he was going to want to do was keep talking to me. I was wrong.

"Your pregnant? Congratulations." Yuki smiled at me. I was shocked, it was the last thing I was expecting to come out of his mouth. None-the-less I smiled back and placed my hand on the small bump jutting out my summer dress.

"Thank you!" I said happily, suddenly the bell went and the rest of the class flooded out into the hallways.

"Are you going to be okay out on your own..." He started.

"Umiko." I nodded filling in his gap where my name would be, "And yes I will be fine. I have Carly and Amaya."

He smiled back being swept away by a boy with black and white hair and young boy with blonde hair down the corridor. They were deep in conversation already, something important apparently but I couldn't think what. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with me? Could it?
