Heeey guys! (: soooooo, sorry I left you on a little cliffy in the last chapter. I kinda had to finish early & put it up before I left...cuz I was going to get my very first ultrasounds done. The baby is soooo effin cute. Hehehe. Its like 3 inches long.....but its sooo cute.

Anywho! Here you go!

I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA!

"...I'm pregnant."

The silence was so painful. I couldn't bare it. I wanted to run out of there as fast as I could. But I knew I had to stay and face the music. My parents were staring at me. Disbelief was struck in there wide eyes. I tried to keep my face still. I felt like any sudden movement would make the room explode.

"....You're...pregnant?" My mother finally spoke out loud. Out of nowhere my dad finally broke into tears and curled into a ball on the floor. FINALLY! The expression I was looking for from him. My mother was calm...which scared me...just a little bit.

"Yes mother..." I replied quietly. My mom closed her eyes and shook her head in disappointment.

"I guess it can't be helped. It is partly our fault after all. We never really paid attention to you. And we never gave you 'the talk'. I guess your father and I figured you were the girl who knew it was wrong to have sex before marriage." she said calmly. She stood up and walked over to me. "But...because it turned out like this...we have nothing else to do but go through with it...and hope for the best." My mother began to smile and embraced me, trying to be gentle. We could still hear my dad on the floor crying. He'll be fine....just give him some time. (:

"Now. First things first," My mom pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil. "we need to find you a good clinic, with a good doctor. Get you some prenatal pills, and we'll have to go grocery shopping. I know how pregnant women can get when they're hungry." She winked at me. I couldn't believe how well this turned out. I never loved my mom more than I did at this moment.

"So what about school? What's gonna happen then?" I asked. She puzzled for a second and finally spoke.

"Well, you won't be able to stay for the ENTIRE time. But you will attend school and keep your grades up as you would normally. We'll have a meeting with the chairman. And your teachers. For now, I just want you to be happy. Be a happy teenager...but more importantly. Be a happy, single, mommy-to-be." She smiled. Single? That's right...I haven't told her who the father is...

"Um...mom?" My mom looked up from the paper and looked toward me. "well, I figured I might as well tell you who the baby's dad is...just so you know." My mom smiled.

"I have a pretty good idea of who it might be." She said. "But...you wouldn't want to upset your father more, would you?" She said while looking back at the piece of paper. I love my mom!

The Next Day

Sitting in class was so boring. I swear I could hear the baby yawning inside me, too. I put my hand on my abdomen slowly, smiling to myself. Suddenly the loud speaker was turned on.

"Attention Seiyo High School. Would Hinamori Amu please report to the chairman's office immediately. That is all."

All the students looked my way as I slowly stood up, with an indifferent look on my face. Still having the people thinking I'm "cool n' spicy" wasn't bothering me as much as it normally does. Because all those rumors will be put to an end soon. Of course...they will be started by new ones. "Oh wow, the once cool n' spicy, Hinamori Amu, is pregnant. Wow, what a whore!" I can already hear it now.

After a long talk with the chairman on how my schedule will be arranged, and what special privlages I'll get, it was finally time to go home. I took a quick stop to my locker before I was ready to head home. Rima was pacing back and forth impatiently in front of my locker. Once she saw me she freaked.

"Amu, where have you been!? Nagi told me the news! How are you!? Are you okay!?" she panicked. I've never seen her so out of her character before. It was kind of funny.

"I'm fine Rima. You guys worry too much." I said as I cleaned out my locker and filled the textbooks into my bag. I suddenly felt my bag being tugged swiftly away from me by an angry little girl.

"You shouldn't be carrying heavy things like this. You could hurt yourself. And if you hurt yourself, you hurt the baby. Now stop being stupid." She screamed.

Note to self: Kill Nagi for telling Rima

I pulled my back back from her and slammed my locker. "Stop Rima. I'm fine. I don't need the sympathy this early into the pregnancy." I stated. I began to wonder when I should tell everyone. Should I let them figure it out on their own? I wasn't so sure. I started to pace towards the front doors of the school to escape Rima's wrath. When I was finally safe, away from the screaming girl. I was impacted by another person. For me, not looking where I was going, I was on the floor with my bag full of papers scattered everywhere. I began to pick them up, not acknowledging the blond boy who began helping me also. I finally was able to get all of my papers back and organized into my bag. As I looked up to apologize to the boy, I was stopped in my train of thought.

"Tadase-Kun!" I screamed. I haven't seen him since middle school. I was a little excited. After all he used to be a close friend.

"Hello, Amu-chan." He smiled at me. He still called me Amu-chan? That's a shock. "It's so good to see you again." he continued. "Anything new happening in your life?" What a bold statement. It's almost like he knows what's going on.

"Uh...nothing really." I lied. He still continued to smile at me. I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do at that point. I really didn't want to just ditch him. But I really wanted to go home.

"Well, it was good seeing you, Amu-chan. I hope we'll see each other again." He said as he began to walk away. All I could do was wave. He really is a nice guy. And nothing in my heart could replace him. I just found someone a little better. I began to think of Ikuto. Okay, so maybe he's...A LOT better than Tadase-kun. Then a thought violently popped into my head....how am I gonna tell Ikuto?

Walking home was the worst part. My feet were killing me, and it was just so boring. There was no one to keep me company. I looked around and realize where my path had taken me. This was the same place Ikuto and I did that duet. I smiled and began to hum the tune to myself as I continued to walk...with my eyes closed, which wasn't really a smart idea. But with me being so carefree and clueless...I really didn't care, as long as I had this moment to myself. My feet really couldn't take it anymore. So I rested on the steps up to the gazeebo.

Just wait, it's only going to get worse when you get bigger. I thought to myself. I chuckled lightly at the comment. My delightful laughter was interrupted by a sudden tickle in my ear.

"Just what are you laughing at you pervy kid?"

I flew up from the ground and quickly turned around. Tripping over my own two feet, I began to fall. Mere seconds before I hit the ground. I felt a grip on my back, keeping me from falling, and coming to my rescue was none other than him.

"I-Ikuto!" I screamed. Mildly stunned. I felt my face began to heat up. But I somehow managed to fight back the blush.

"Why do you always seem so surprised when I come to see you?" he asked me. He released his hand away from my back.

"I wasn't r-really surprised." I lied, as I turned away with my arms crossed. I jumped once again as I felt his arms wrap around my waist.

"I know you're surprised now!" He whispered into my ear. I felt him grip tighter onto my waist. It started to hurt a bit. Then a realized...he's gripping onto his child. I pushed him off quickly and turned towards him. He seemed somewhat scared as I looked up to him.

"Well, now that you're hear. It's best if you know now." I said quietly. This doesn't seem as hard as telling my parents. But then again, I seem to be able to tell him anything without any problem. I don't see why this would be any different. He quietly awaited for the big news.

"Ikuto...I'm pregnant." His expression didn't change much. He didn't seem to believe me though.

"Haha, very funny Amu." He said in a monotone. He came closer to me, but I continued to step back. He stopped in his tracks as I lifted the bottom of my shirt slightly. He stared at my lower abdomen.

"There's not much to show. But there is something in there. I promise you." I grabbed his hand and placed it onto my lower abdomen, with my hand placed on top of his. He stared into my eyes again, with his hand still on my stomach. He seemed really scared. "But that's not all" I continued. "It's yours...."
