Chapter Nine: I Don't Wanna Be In Love
Bakura stared at the blonde in complete, and utter shock; stunned silent. Was he insane! Just because she was having his child, didn't mean that they had to get married! Being married meant you had to live together- in their case already adding a child- and Marik said before he left that they couldn't handle living together. Maybe he was just confused; not thinking straight. Yes, that had to be it. It seemed to be the only logical explanation in Bakura's mind at the moment.
"Well?"
Bakura had almost forgotten that Marik was still laying on her stomach, waiting patiently for a reply. "You're insane." she whispered.
"Obviously, but seriously- yes or no?"
"I... I don't know, Marik. You said it yourself that we couldn't live together, more or less be married, especially sense we have a child on the way." Bakura tried to reason. It wasn't that she didn't want to be married, or was scared to be married- she just never saw herself having that kind of life; it just wasn't her style. She never would have thought- EVER- that she wold be a mother- or even a father when she was a guy-; that wasn't her style either. It wasn't that she hated kids, no, she quite liked them, she just liked to hold them for a few minutes and give them back- not keep them as a full time job.
Marik sighed, climbing on top of Bakura, staring into her crimson eyes. "I know, Bakura, but it's different now. Before the baby comes, we can learn to live with each other, get used to each others company again, you know?" he assured her. "And then we can raise the little guy or girl together as a real family- something neither of us had. We can give it a good life, raise it here in Domino; we'll have a nice house where ever you'd like."
Bakura sighed, "Let me think on it, Marik. If you'd like, you can come to the doctors appointment in a few days...?"
Marik nodded in agreement. "Alright. I'll be there, just tell me what time once you found out, okay?"
Bakura nodded slowly, getting herself out from under Marik, walking over to the door; she glanced back at Marik as she opened the door, quickly looking away and walking out the door.
Marik snickered, falling back on the bed on his back, sighing heavily, closing his eyes tiredly; his eyes snapped open as he said aloud, "How am I going to tell Ishizu?"
Bakura opened the door to the apartment, being greeted with two eyes staring at her, almost demanding she tell them something. "Hello, Mana, Ryou." she greeted nonchalantly, closing the door behind her.
"How'd it go?" the couple asked.
"Fine." Bakura answered simply, slithering past them.
"Just 'fine'?"
"Yup. Goodnight, lovebirds." was all she said to them before going into her room and closing the door; locking it.
"That didn't go as well as I had hoped," Ryou mumbled.
Mana nodded, agreeing bitterly. She patted him on the back, kissing the white haired man shortly before heading off to the room they shared. "We'll talk to her in the morning."
Ryou huffed, following her.
