"Papa..." Nana said, she ran into his arms. They embraced for a few minutes.
Kazue prepared some tea, "I have some tea! Your favorite!" She called out. Nana, Kazue, and Katsu sat at the dining table. Nana on one side by herself and her parents on the other. Together they shared some tea. "So tell us Nana, what's wrong? You came in tears!" Kazue said. "It wasn't Zane was it? He always had a dark aura when we met him!" Katsu assumed. Nana took a sip of her tea and didn't awnser.
"Ahh... So it was him!" Katsu exclaimed and he stood up in victory. "Sit down!" Kazue yelled at her husband. "Nana we're here for you! You can tell us anything," Kazue assured.
"I'm pregnant," Nana managed to get out. She took another sip of tea. "Then, why are you in tears?" Kazue asked, "This is good! A new grandchild for me and your mother to spoil!" Katsu exclaimed. "Zane and I- got into a fight... About the baby. He said- it was my fault..." Nana managed to get out. Again she started crying. "He doesn't want it?" Katsu asked. "I don't think so, no..." Nana answered. "Nana, my darling. Did you ask him?" Kazue asked.
"No..." Nana replied.
Both of her parents sighed. "You have to discuss it with him," Kazue explained. "I will, I just a few da- weeks to think about this. Can I stay here for a few weeks? I brought a suitcase..." Nana asked, Kazue and Katsu nodded.
[A Few Hours Before...]
"What do you mean by she left you? You literally got married 2 months ago!" Aphmau yelled.
"I don't know, she said she was pregnant... And-"
"She's pregnant?" Aphmau interupted, "Alina, go play upstairs." Aaron said.
Zane went over to Aphmau's and Aaron's house right after Nana drove away. He felt guilty, he needed someone to talk to.
"Yes, now stop interrupting me!" He replied. "Alright, so what happened now?" Aaron asked as he hung up his apron. He was just cooking lunch. "Zane got Kawaii~Chan pregnant and then she left him," Aphmau explained to Aaron. "Okay! Can I speak now?!" Zane exclaimed. "She said she was always feeling sick and she had a larger appetite than usual and then she went to a doctor's appointment. Then, Kawaii~Chan and I met up at the airport after I flew back from my trip. When we got home we had a big fight about the baby. Then I stupidly said that it was her fault, then she packed a suitcase and drove away." Zane explained.
"So, this is all your fault basically." Aaron said. "I guess so," Zane said.
"Well, we could look for her. Or we could just be sitting ducks and wait," Aphmau said.
Zane spent the next few hours looking for Nana. The maid~cafe even though it was closed, the supermarket, and the bakery. He even looked at the club. Losing hope, Zane headed back home.
The next few days Zane and Nana spent in sorrow. Nana would cry herself to sleep, she would wake up in the middle of the night only to see emptyness next to her. She barely ate, she couldn't. (Nana/Kawaii~Chan bakes cookies when she's sad and she also uses them to apologize.) Nana baked many sets of cookies everyday.
Zane barely slept each night. He would sit downstairs on the couch waiting and hoping that Nana would walk through it but of course she didn't. He spent everyday looking for her any chance he could. It had never crossed his mind that she might've been at her parents' house, 2 hours away.
They both wished they were in each others presence.
[2 weeks later...]
Days turned into weeks. Nana didn't know what was going to happen if she went back. She wasn't ready to be a mother... Or at least she didn't think so.
During the past two weeks Kazue and Katsu taught Nana everything needed to know to be a decent parent. For instance, how to change a diaper, how to feed it, and things like how to carry it.
Until, one day Kazue and Katsu heard a knock on their front door. They weren't expecting anybody today, but they opened the door. It had been Zane.
Immediately, Katsu slammed the door before Zane could even say anything. They heard another 10 knocks until they finally opened the door again. "What do you want?" Katsu asked, his voice in an angry tone. "Is Nana here by any chance? I've looked everywhere for her..." Zane asked. "So what if she is here? You think you're going to earn her back right away?" Katsu said. Kazue wanted things to be back to normal when Nana was happy. "Nana is upstairs..." She said. "Thank you. Thank you so much," Zane said. He ran upstairs in a hurry. He was shocked at what he saw.
His wife was unconscious on the cold wood floor. Her face was pale and she looked almost lifeless.
"Nana?!" Zane exclaimed, he rushed over to his wife.
