"No way," Fumiko practically squealed as she held up the small grey and whitish black picture of her friend's baby. It was the first time since the disappearance of her husband and the almost miscarriage that she had suffered a while back that Yuki Reiko 'Mai' Davis had actually had something to smile about. "This is the baby!" Another few people moved over to see the first sonogram picture ever taken of the baby.
Placing a delicately boned left hand over her still flat stomach, Yuki smiled awkwardly at all of the attention she was getting. "Y-Yeah. He's a tiny little thing, right?" She said almost anxiously as the others joined in. Grabbing the little picture and examining it one asked curiously,
"How far along are you?"
"Uh, almost two months..." Yuki replied.
The girls stopped looking at the sonogram as one of them said absently, "Oh. That's right. You got married earlier this year. And then you're husband went missing," Yuki winced a little at the reminder that she had possibly been abandoned. Even though she was married and with a child on the way- she still liked to believe that if her husband could return to her- that he would do so. Quickly. "And then found out you were pregnant that night you almost lost the baby..."
"Ya know," Another of her classmates said as she reached over and tugged up her shirt a little bit. Exposing her stomach. "After all the stress and stuff, it's a miracle you and the baby are doing so well."
"Gee, thanks for that." Yuki said sarcastically as she tugged her shirt back down into place and growled when the girl moved to pull her shirt up a bit again. Causing said person to get an alarmed look on her face and back off as Yuki reached out and took the sonogram from one of the other girls and carefully slipped it inside one of her books where it hopefully wouldn't get damaged.
After all, that was babies first picture. And she was going to put it on her fridge.
Right. Where. It. Belonged.
Suddenly the classroom door opened and her second period teacher, Yamoto Isuku poked his head inside of the room and scanned the faces for a moment before his eyes landed on her. "Yuki, could you please come here. Oh and bring you're books please." The man called out from across the room as he waved his hand quickly. Reminding her of a puppy's tail, wagging once it's owner was spotted.
Yuki nodded. A sinking feeling suddenly developing in the pi of her stomach as one of her friends made a funny, "Oooo-ing" sound before asking her playfully what she had done. Casting a glance at her, she glared a little. Effectively ending her friend's playful tirade with a not so subtle coughing fit as she looked away from her. "Sorry." She mumbled to Yuki, knowing that of late between the stress of possibly being a single mother after the disappearance of her husband- Yuki had neither the time nor patience to deal with her joking around like she usually did.
Picking up her book bag, she slipped the books on her desk onside and then slung it over her shoulder and walked out of the room with a tired sigh.

Oliver-er Kazuya Shibuya stood in the principle's office impatiently waiting for the aid the man had promised him when he finally heard the faint sound of movement just beyond the office door a mere second or so before it opened and the guy- what was his name?- Yamoto Isuku poked his head into the office and grinned. "Sir, I've got the aid you requested for Mr. Shibuya."
The principle looked at him and nodded as he said, "Good, please send her in." And a moment later the door swung open enough for Kazuya to see an angelic faced, beautiful young lady with long, near waist length chocolate colored hair. Part of which was tied back away from her face by a hair barrette. Her bangs partially hiding her pretty pale, pale green eyes.
She was a little on the tall-ish side. Perhaps more than he had expected she would be for a girl her age.
But that did nothing to detract from her loveliness. What did surprise him the most was... She was the girl that he'd been dreaming about. The one that he'd seen walking earlier which startled him into almost dropping his note pad as he blinked at her.
