"I'm pregnant."

Those words rung in the demons head, helping develop the already pounding headache. Already fretting about work related issues, and the dinner his father forced him to attend.

His golden hues fell shut, rubbing harshly at one of his temples. The words she spoke were still processing in his mind, unable to fully comprehend everything in one moment.

Rin was now sitting up, the comforter covering only her lower half, slim fingers fiddling with the creases. Her expression was unseen by the demon, tilting her head enough to do so. Not wanting to be caught tearing up. She would never try to guilt trip the demon into accepting something he didn't want. Even if it was the child she would carry. Abortion was not an option for her, silently praying the demon wouldn't have an all out attack again.

Stress was practically written across the females features. It had always been her dream to finish high school with passing grades, and maybe enough to get a scholarship. Rin wanted to make something of herself. She wanted to become something again, and eventually make a family. With children she could spoil and care for, as her husband would do the same. The last thought that entered her mind was being one of the teenagers who got pregnant.

Right as she could feel the warm waters coming, a clawed hand was placed on her back, but she didn't turn to face him.

"Rin, I'm tired," he bluntly stated, rubbing away the sleep in his eyes. "We'll talk about it in the morning."

With that, the demon gave a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, before allowing himself to drift off to sleep. Sesshomaru had never seemed to tired before, so the female guessed he had a long day. On top of the information she just gave him. Leaving her to twist and turn as she tried to sleep, awaiting for the sun to rise.

The white foam started to escape the females lips, simply wiping it away with her finger, and rinsing her hand under the flowing water. Her stomach quenched as she continued to brush her teeth, with a spare the demon had found the first couple times she stayed the night. Her body shook with the need to throw up, anxiety getting the best of her. Spitting out the toothpaste the built up in her mouth, before continuing on.

Her dark brown locks were lightly tangled, evidence to skipping a day of showering, the roots of her hair shinny. Fiddling with the hair tie around her wrist, to slap it up into a messy bun.

Rin was positive that if she had food in her stomach she would have thrown up, and not because of morning sickness.

When the human had been knocked from her restless slumber, the demon beside her had been long gone. The place he once laid we now cold, as if he had never been there in the first place. Making the brunettes heart pound in her chest, every inch of her lightly trembling.

A deep inhale with a long exhale, trying to calm her nerves. Knowing that in the first three months of pregnancy stress was to be avoided, eternally shaking in fear of the chance of a miscarriage.

Small pitter patters echoed through the large condo, as Rin made her way down stairs. His hand gently gripping the handrail for support, feeling slightly lightheaded and shaky.

The same clothes she wore the night before still hung on her frame; wrinkled from sleeping in them. The pants she wore didn't quiet go down to her ankles, exaggerating the fact she couldn't afford the best clothes to wear. The shirt she wore wasn't nearly as rough looking as the bottoms, something that anyone could own.

As the human made her way down the stairs, she found the demon seated on the couch, a cup of coffee sitting on the table in front. A laptop seated in his lap, probably doing a small amount of work. To occupy himself, she'd never know, but didn't blame him if thats what he indeed was doing.

"G-good morning." The words she spoke left in a stutter, mentally kicking herself for allowing that to happen. Her words were quiet, almost in a whisper. But to the demons ears, he hear it clearly. The way her voice got quieter after her mess-up. The sheer amount of anxiety and fear that laced those two very simple words. Positive they had only been spoken to grab his attention, even though he had already knew she was approaching.

The demon sighed, shutting the laptop, and moving it beside his coffee. It was still early in the morning, the suns rays blaring through any, and all windows. Lighting the room very dim, the blinds doing their best to keep the harsh rays from entering.

Rin's feet were glued to the floor, her head hung, eyes glued to the floor. All her insecurities and frets flooding her mind. Making the expression she wore look empty and hollow. Her normal bubbly expression no where to be found. Only showing every single fear through her dull eyes, every single worry on her glum features.

"Take a seat." His own words were soft and quiet. Not necessarily because he didn't want to scare her more than she already was, but it had only fit the mood. It would have been wrong to destroy the quiet atmosphere the both resided in.

The females body seemed to move on her own, feeling the soft leather under her bottom, as she took her seat on the other end of the couch. Still staring off into the distance, probably more lost than the demon who sat on the other end.

Before the demon could utter a single word, the human started. Surprising herself that she still could talk. She hadn't spent all night and morning planning what to say for nothing. Scolding herself for everything that has happened.

"This isn't easy. Deciding what to do, or what to say. I know that my decision not only affects me, but you too. I'm the one who has made the mistakes, far more than you have. So," the female bit back a sob, her mind wondering to the worst "I will consider whatever choice you make, even if I dont agree." Her thoughts automatically went to abortion. Already positive that, thats what he would say.

The couch shifted slightly, only noticing the male approaching her from a dark shadow blocking the light. Two strong arms scooped the female up, placing her halfway into his lap as he took his seat.

"What occupation do you want to pursue, Rin?" The question caught her off guard, staring up at the demon who held her. His gaze sitting across the room. Probably embarrassed, never doing something like this before.

The female bit her lip, before thinking back to what she loved. "I wasn't entirely sure, but I would have loved to study photography." Her mood lightened as she spoke about her passions, just imagining them was able to warm her heart. "I love taking photos of sceneries, but I never had enough to buy my own camera. It was always my dream to travel the world, and capture every beautiful moment the Earth has to offer."

The way she spoke was soft and meaningful, taking the demon by surprise. It had seemed she was really into photography, even thought she wasn't able to do it professionally with the equipment that is available to her.

"What is your idea of a perfect... Life?" Sesshomaru had no idea what he even meant by this, a sullen look adoring his features. The demon wouldn't give his opinion until he knew. He wouldn't was to destroy the females dreams, if she had any.

These questions confused the female, surprised the demon would even ask such a thing. Confused as to what his motive is. Rin blinked twice, before averting her gaze off of him.

"Well..." She started, not knowing how to start it off, or if what she would say would make him laugh. "I always imagined that out of everyone, I would be the last person to make this mistake. I always imagined graduating high school, and going to college. I would become a photographer. It's something I love, with less student loans. I always imagined having two kids, a girl and a boy. A husband who would always be there. Living in a cozy home, just big enough for all of us. I imagine spoiling my children, giving them all the love and support in the world, no matter what. In a perfect world, in a perfect life, all I want is to give my children and husband, the love I never received as a child." Rin placed her hands over her heart, unable to suppress the smile that spread across her lips, and the tears that bundled in her eyes. Just the thought of such a perfect life filled her entire being with nothing but joy.

Finally, honey hues were glued to the female, eyes widened slightly. Her answer was more than he had expected. Never putting much thought into what a perfect family would be like in his eyes. Considering he never planned to have kids for a while. Demons lived longer than humans, much longer. So it wasn't a big deal for him to wait.

The female broke his trance with a slight giggle, still in a joyful mood from stating her secrete happy place; a dream she had never told anyone. "Sorry for rambling," a quick sigh escaped her lips, before remembering the position she was in. "Don't let my stupid dreams sway your opinion, I want you to decide on your own, what you want to do."

Again, the demon let his gaze fall. He had asked those questions, wanting to know more about her dreams. Sesshomaru wouldn't admit, but he enjoyed the females company. She wasn't over baring, or too quiet. Rin was beautiful in every way, flawless in his eyes. The news of her being pregnant wouldn't have been an issue, if it wasn't for her age. Though, soon enough she would turn of an legal age.

Sesshomaru shifted in his seat, reaching over the couch to grab his laptop, never once hesitating to show the other what was on the screen.

Rin couldn't help but let a small gasp escape her lips, tears welling at the corners of her eyes again. Glowing on the screen, was a website advertising an online school, a place she could graduate high school without having to wait a year.

"Move in with me, Rin." Were his only words, a sly smirk spread across his lips, seeing how bright his lover seemed to glow.
