Shorter chapter but I wanted to post this today for the love of my life. Happy 10 months baby. I love you.

For the moment all the pain seemed to disappear. Hands began to wander slightly, pulling the other body closer, passionately, yet gently. This was right, right? The moment was perfect bliss for the two- and why shouldn't it be? Hadn't they always planned to be together from the start? Even as children, the two had planned out the rest of their lives, so why not start now- now that they were back together once more...

It was meant to be right?

Kai pulled back, crystal eyes staring sadly into chocolate orbs. He brushed a stray hair from her face and tenderly tucked away the strand behind her ear. "We can't, Marcy..."

"W-why not...?" She asked although she already knew the answer.

They both knew the answer, but he replied anyway. "This isn't... right..." His hand caressed her cheek before letting it fall to her abdomen where the baby rested. It wasn't his, no matter how much he wished it was. "I love you, Marcelle... I always have."

"T-then why..." she sounded almost desperate. The fear of having to be alone was all she could think about. "Why can't we..."

"You know why."

Wet droplets began to cascade down her cheeks. Her hand reached up to touch her lips, realizing what she had willingly done. She wasn't sure if she regretted it or not- whether the feeling was good, or she was overreacting. "B-but, Kai...I-I... like it."

"You probably just like the attention..." he sighed sadly. Running his hand through her raven locks, he tried his best not to look to upset. "You miss Levi."

"L-levi...?" Marcy repeated the name, hesitantly, as if something stun her. For the past few months, she avoided talking about him and Kai got the hint and didn't bring him up either. During that period of time, he didn't exist. She just couldn't bear to think that the child inside her was his, yet he was gone for what seems like forever. Apparently she couldn't avoid it. The baby is his and so was she.

"Y-you're not Levi," she began to sob more, covering her lips with her hands. Tainted. Her lips were tainted. Levi wasn't the only one to cheat on her, but now she did the same. The only difference now was that he would never know, so the sin would forever remain buried in her heart. "I.. I... I kissed you...? Y-you're not, L-levi..."

Kai rubbed her back gently and tried to hold her close. "Shhh," he cooed, trying to calm her down the best he could. "It's not your fault, okay? You're just upset and needed someone. Everything is going to be okay."

"What did I d-do... What did I do!"

"Marcelle, calm down... Please calm down..." It hurt him just as much as it hurt her. The guilt burned inside, knowing that he was the one to cause her such pain. If he had never walked back into her life, maybe Levi wouldn't have ever gotten so angry... The least he could have done was refuse her advances towards her this night and stop the kiss. That way he could have at least avoided all this right now- after she had seemingly managed to be slightly happier lately. "I'm not Levi, but I'm here for you okay? I'm here... please calm down..."

Her face pressed against his chest, drenching it with her tears. "He's n-never coming back... especially after t-this..." she stuttered through her sobbing. Marcy cried and cried, repeating the same things over and over while Kai tried to calm her down, until she eventually passed out asleep.

Days passed and the two remained slightly silent. It took a week or so before they finally got over that night and let things slowly go to normal again. But it did become normal again. The two started to laugh and mess around with each other, just as they had as children. At least, they would just have to pretend that nothing happened.

"I'll get it," the young woman stood up slowly from her seat on the couch when the faint ringing of the doorbell sung its tune. Even though she was six months pregnant, she still insisted on doing things on her own.

Opening the door, she stuck her head out the window, not finding anyone standing outside. She took a step out the door and gave another look. Nope. No one was there. Just as she was going to close the door, her eyes spied something red on the welcome mat. Bending down to pick it up, she examined the rose for a moment. A small tag tied around its stem had a small message.

You have a gorgeous smile

-secret admirer

Tilting her head slightly, she just stared at the message a little stunned. Maybe this wasn't for her and whoever sent this message made a mistake? Probably. Yes, that's it. She smiled, satisfied with her conclusion. Still it would be a shame to just let the flower die, so she took it inside to place it in a vase.

"Who was that?" Kai's voice echoed from the other room.

"No one. Someone got the wrong address."

"Another one?" Kai laughed lightly, seeing Marcy walk in the kitchen with another red rose in her small hands.

"No, I just got a puppy in the mail- of course I got another rose," she giggled placing it in the glass with the rest of them.

He smiled and put his newspaper down on the table. "Isn't that..." Kai raised his hand and pretended to count all the roses. "seventeen flowers?"

"Eighteen," she corrected him. "Eighteenth day today."

"And what exactly does it say today hmmm? There is another message right?"

Brown eyes stared at the vase absent mindedly, before snapping out of it. "Hmmm oh the message." Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out the new note card and read it out loud. "To the world you might be just one person, but to me you are the world. - secret admirer. Isn't it sooo cuteee?"

She squeaked like a high school girl. Honestly it felt just like a crush she would have had in high school or something like that. She could even forget that she was pregnant right now. The excitement of having some mysterious secret admirer was just too amusing, it was enough to distract her from all her troubles.

"Secret admirer hmm?" He leaned forward on the table teasingly.

She eyes him suspiciously and glared. "Don't tell me its you, is it?"

He shook his head in response. "I wish I could say it was, but I am getting curious who it is."

"Same. I mean why crush on the pregnant woman?" She laughed at herself, placing a hand on her stomached and leaning back on the chair. "I mean seriously, why?"

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out. Or maaaybe he'll come out."

"Maybe."
