Ch.4 Reactions always cause problems
"No one's pregnant Kazu," shouted Ruki, a little too loudly.
"All right, all right, don't get your knickers in a twist. Women!"
"Tell me about it," agreed Kenta.
Kazu and Kenta sauntered off while Lee, with a shocked expression on his face, held out his hand. Ruki took it and they once again sat down.
"So, I'm going to be a father," stated Lee.
"Uh huh," mumbled Ruki.
"What are we going to do Makino, people will talk."
"I know, but when they see how much in love we are that will take some of the pressure off. Besides it's not like its never happened before."
"I guess you're right. This baby is not going to be cheap Ruki. Where are we going to find the money for this?"
"This is so like you Jenrya. You're already rushing to conclusions. Have you no faith?"
"Come on Ruki, don't tell me you actually believe we'll get financial help from my parents or even your mother for that matter!"
"Well no, but we'll work through this. I can get a job until a month or two before the due date and you can get some work at a tech place."
"I'm sorry. I just need to get used to us together as well as the baby part. It'll take some time."
"Well Jenrya, at least you're not the one who will grow big and get the swollen ankles. It's not fair!"
"If I could, I would!"
"Sure! That'll be the day! I think I just might take you up on that."
"Umm.......No! I'd like to keep my buff bod, thank you very much!"
"Dream on Jenrya!"
"Well isn't that why you fell for me in the first place?"
"Yes, that's exactly why I fell for you. Scrawniness and all!"
"I am not scrawny! One can't help being over average height and under average weight."
"I wonder what are baby will look like Jen? Do you think he/she will have my eyes?"
"I hope so Makino, because they're so beautiful! Our baby will be the most adorable little guy or girl that you'll ever see."
"I hope you're right Jen, I hope you're right."
Lee and Ruki then began to think up ways to tell their parents. So far they had come up with: We have some bad news and some good news. Which do you want first? They eventually got tired of this and decided to rest. Ruki lay on the ground, her head in Lee's lap. Lee sat back with his hand protectively on Ruki's somewhat protruding belly. Lee bent down to whisper something in her ear just as Juri and Takato came back with four baskets full of bread.
"Uh, what are you guys doing?" questioned Takato.
"Are we interrupting something? I didn't know you two were together," said Juri.
"Do you want to tell them or should I?" whispered Lee to Ruki.
"I will," she replied.
"Takato and Juri, sit. Umm just so you know before anyone else, I'm pregnant! Jen and I are going to have a baby!"
"Wow! Congrats!" exclaimed Juri.
"Yea, uh, mazel tov," said Takato in a stunned voice.
"Thanks for understanding you two, we need all the support we can get," said Lee.
"We'll be there for you all the way. Ruki I know a great maternity store from when my aunt was pregnant," offered Juri.
"Thank you so much Juri, we wouldn't be able to do this without the both of you!" beamed Ruki.
As the girls began to talk about the details, Takato pulled Lee aside.
"What the hell were you thinking, getting involved with Ruki Makino?" demanded Takato.
"It's not like we planned it or anything, it just kind of happened."
"Do you love her?"
"Of course I do! Why else would I be willing to live with her and raise our child as a family."
"I thought you two would decide to give the child up for adoption. You can't afford to raise a child. Have you ever considered your reputation? You can't just walk into school on Monday holding hands and announce it."
"We weren't going to say anything until it started to show and besides we're keeping the baby, we can't have it any other way. Ruki just told me today anyways."
"What!"
"She didn't know how I would take it. I was kind of angry but at least she told me before anyone else."
"Look man, you're crazy! You're too young for this. Just listen to me okay. Just consider adoption!"
"Fine, I'll consider it but I can't even think about anything but the birth. I want everything to go all right. We'll have so much to get through and it really won't be easy at school."
"You are going to have such a hard time. Good luck, you're gonna need it!"
Lee walked back over to Ruki and kissed her sweetly on the forehead as she munched happily on a loaf of bread. All was well. For now.
[Hope you liked! I got some inspiration so here's Ch. 4. It's ok but a little boring so bear with me. I have great ideas for the upcoming chapters but I hardly ever have time to write. Anyhew, Leeruki ROCKS, so keep on supporting them!]
