Chapter 4

Sakuno's POV

It has been almost a week since Ryoma-kun left. He calls me ALL the time mou! Even during school I can't believe him! But it makes me so happy every time he calls, even when our talks are short, I can feel he misses me as much as I am missing him. I was walking downstairs to eat some breakfast when suddenly the smell of pancakes made my stomach feel funny, so without giving it a second thought or fighting it off I ran to the bathroom and I vomited until I couldn't anymore. "Mou... Not this again" I talked to myself while I heard a knock on the door. "Sakuno? Are you alright child" my grandmother asked, I could hear that she was very worried about me. 'I can't be worrying obaa-chan like this!' I scolded myself as I tried getting up. "Don't worry obaa-chan I think it might be the flu" I responded behind the door.

"The flu? Do you want to stay home from school today I don't want you getting sick in the middle of class"

I opened the door after I finished washing my mouth "Iie obaa-chan I'm okay, if I feel bad at school I'll just go to the nurse for some stomach tums ne?" I said trying to erase the worry look she had. She shook her head and mumbled something about 'stubborn child' I smiled and decided to just eat an apple and head right to school.

As I was walking to school I heard my phone ring. "Moshi moshi" I answered without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hmm you didn't even check if it was me, are you walking distracted again? Be careful" Ryoma answered from the phone.

"Ry-yoma-kun! Eto.. Mou! Stop teasing me..." I could feel him smirking on the other side of the line.

"I'm not teasing you I really I'm worried. How are you feeling today?" He asked 'eh? Why is he asking me that..'

"Un I feel good how does Ryoma-kun feel?" there was a short silence

"Bored." he responded not to excited, I giggled a bit I could imagine him arching an eyebrow at my giggling.

"What's so funny?" he asked irritated

"Oh nothing Ryoma-kun, you just seem to be bored without me ne?"

He snorted "Eh someone is getting cockier"

"I have the best teacher that's why" wow today I am being a smart one, I heard him chuckle... He has the most attractive chuckle ever.

"Did you drink a cup of ego for breakfast Sakuno? You have been acting strange lately but I still love it"

"Mou! Stop saying stuff like that!" I was sure I was blushing red already

"Hai hai... Anyways I've got to go tennis practice, I'll call you later"

"Un. Ja ne Ryoma-kun"

"Ja Sakuno. I love you" My heart jumped from happiness

"I love you more Ryoma-kun"

As I was about to hang up I gagged, 'What? I feel sick again?!' I didn't notice the call wasn't over.

"Sakuno? Hello? Why are you gagging? Are you sick?" Ryoma spoke louder than usual from the speaker. I took a big breath before answering

"I-I'm fine Ryoma-kun, stop talking a lot its weird ne?" I giggled as normally as I could trying not to throw up for the twentieth time this week! He sighed

"You better not lie to me if you're sick Sakuno, take care while I'm not there. I'll call you right after school. Call me if anything happens." I sighed 'Mou! He treats me like a child!'

"Hai hai... Mou seriously I'm not a child Ryoma-kun"

"I know but you're prone to accidents. Anyways take care I've to go baka Oyaji is nagging me already ja" and the call was soon over. I sighed once again making sure I wasn't feeling sick again, once I composed myself I ran to school not to be late.

Normal POV...

"I MADE IT!" Sakuno opened the door to her classroom. "Sakuno! Why are you so late! You barely made it!" Tomoka reprimanded her best friend. "Gome ne... Ryoma-kun decided to call me on my way here so I got distracted.." Sakuno sat on her desk putting her head down while yawning. Tomoka thought it was strange

"Ne Sakuno? Are you alright? You look tired"

"Eh? I'm okay Tomo-chan I'm just a little bit exhausted that's all" Sakuno smiled kindly at her worried friend. Tomoka thought about it when she just shrugged it off. Their first class was Anatomy and Physiology, today they were talking about the reproductive system. Everyone seemed touchy about this subject since it was embarrassing, Tomoka would giggle once in a while at the pictures while Sakuno like the good student she was kept on with her notes.

"The phases of pregnancy. Well every human being is different, so of course every woman is different as well. Some of the early signs of pregnancy are which ones? Does anyone know?" the teacher asked

Sakuno perked up at the sudden subject. 'Signs of pregnancy?' she thought hard, in the pit of her stomach she felt as if she has been hit in the gut. When suddenly she heard someone say the answer to the teachers question. "Sensei one of the early signs are what we call morning sickness. Not every woman experiences this symptom but it is pretty common among pregnant women during early pregnancy"

Sakuno couldn't believe it, was her brain betraying her? She knew this things so why.. 'N-no it can't be..'

"Very good Kinta-chan that is one of the early symptoms, but another common sign is a missed period, this is how must women often question if they have become pregnant" Sakuno's eye widen. 'W-when was my last period?' her hands started sweating when she realized when it was, she was late. Suddenly she felt the heat from her body leaving her. She shakily raised her hand, the teacher looked at her "Yes Ryuuzaki-san?"

"C-can I-i be excused? I don't feel to well"

"Are you okay? You seem pale would you like Osakada's company? Sensei asked her

"I-ie I'll be okay.." Sakuno got up and walked out the door, she knew Tomoka was looking at her, but she needed to look as normal as possible and let it pass as a stomach bug.. 'P-please let it be just a bug..'

The Nurse's Office...

"It might be a stomach bug, it has been going around, you should head home and rest okay?" the nurse told her as she was signing her release form to her.

"O-okay thank you" Sakuno grasped the paper in her hand and left. She quickly walked to her locker and grabbed her things. 'I need to make sure' and so she headed down to the pharmacy to get the test to free her from worries. Once she got to the pharmacy she looked at countless tests. Some more expensive than others, but price wasn't the issue at the moment she had enough from allowances and a few part time jobs she took over the summer. She made the decision and grabbed one as she walked to the counter with shame. The pharmacist gave her a pitiful look Sakuno tried her best not to budge at the stare she was getting, once she paid for it she walked as fast as she could back home.

Sakuno's POV

I practically ran home once I got there I ran up to the bathroom as fast as I could. Once I seated on the toilet, I opened the package and read the instructions carefully, I can't go wrong with this one there is no way I'll go buy another one. Once I read the instructions I got myself to pee on the cup as I placed the test. "I-f I am what will I do.." baka Sakuno! You can't be pregnant Ryoma-kun.. No he has dreams to accomplish this will only bring him down. A beeping sound covered the walls of the bathroom indicating the test was ready. I took a deep breath as I held the stick in place to look at the result... 'Positive' my heart dropped, and so did my legs as they gave up on me from the shock. "N-no... N-no..." in that moment the phone in my pocket began to ring. I slowly picked it up with shaking hands to see that it was Ryoma-kun

"Ry-yoma-kun... Gome ne.." I couldn't answer him, I can't let me and now a baby hold him down from his goal. With that resolve in my mind I made my choice as I placed my hand on my womb while small tears rolled down my face

"W-we have to leave.."
