A/N: Hello readers! Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope you guys have a wonderful week. I had some spare time so I figured I would continue writing. For those who also read my fanfic 'Lies Bring Us Closer' I'll have you know I have started working on the next chapter. I'm not purposefully ignoring it! Scouts honor! It's about halfway done and I'm hoping to have it posted before the end of the week. So, can look forward to that. Have any of you been playing/played Birth by Sleep? It's amazing! I'm slow in beating it, but I'm loving the mystery of it all. I can't wait to see how it all ties together.

I don't know what's wrong with me. My heart feels so conflicted right now. I shouldn't feel this way, not because of Roxas. Roxas is just Roxas. He's only a friend; I never intended to…

"Did you tell her yet?"

"Tell me what?" I was so oblivious. How could I not realize?

"Xion and I are dating now. I wanted to tell you sooner, but we were having such a good time and I didn't want to…"

I felt the tears begin to well up. I shouldn't be so emotional. This is what Roxas had wanted all along. We pretended to date so I could get Sora's attention and so he could get Xion's. Mission complete, right? Just because it didn't work out for me doesn't mean I should make Roxas feel guilty for his happiness. I was being so selfish. We weren't even like that. Sure, we may have…done something together that one time long ago…but that didn't mean we were connected by anything. It's not like I was pregnant or anything. It's not like we did that action out of love. We were just drunk. This whole relationship was just an accident.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and glanced at my phone; 12 missed calls and no messages. They were all from Roxas, but I guess I wasn't important enough to leave a message. I sighed and rolled over in my bed to stare out the window. The sun was finally beginning to set…it felt nice to feel the darkness creeping over me. Wait!

I jumped out of bed and frantically ran into my closet. "I have class!" I nearly shrieked as I began to look for something suitable. There was no way I was taking my finals in such a risqué outfit. (I hadn't had the heart to take it off yet, it was like I was clinging to him subconsciously).

"Naminé! What are you shrieking about!"

I poked my head out of the closet to see Larxene in my doorway with a agitated expression. She was wiping the sleep from her eyes. I chuckled and gave her a small smile. "I'm sorry," I whispered.

"Ugh! I was in such a deep sleep!" Larxene shouted, "Don't wake me up again, missy! Else there will be dire consequences!" She stormed down the hall and slammed her room door shut. I gulped. I could still feel the fiery sensations of her presence. I nearly had a flashback to when I was eight and she threw the kitchen knives at me, because I woke her up for dinner. Larxene had always had strangely good aim.

I slipped back into the closet, changed into a pair of loose jeans and a white t-shirt, grabbed my jacket, ran down the stairs and left the house. At this rate I was going to be late for my qualifying exams. There was no way I was going through the whole process of teacher certification again.

"I should have spent less time with Roxas and more time studying!" I mentally screamed as I struggled through the exam. No one told me there was going to be math on this. Not only was my lack of knowledge frustrating me, but I had such strong stomach pains I felt like I was going to die. I gripped at my stomach as I furiously flipped through the pages. My body felt hot and clammy as I tried my best to concentrate on the pieces of papers that were in front of me. Yet, for some reason they kept phasing in and out of my vision. It was like the world was spinning in my mind. "Maybe I just need a break. A bathroom break couldn't hurt….I'll just splash some water on me…"

I struggled to raise my hand to get the examiner's attention. He briskly approached me with a curious, concerned eye. Did my appearance reflect my inner state? "What is it, Naminé?" he asked.

"I-I need to g-go to the bathroom," I forced myself to answer.

"Are you sure you don't just need to go to the hospital?"

I lightly shook my head; each movement felt like someone was slamming my head. My stomach was churning and squeezing tightly. I struggled to stand, but my legs were more wobbly than I expected them to be.

"Naminé?"

I couldn't answer. I stared at him, but his image disappeared right before my eyes, just like everything else in the room. Gone.

"Is she going to be all right?"

"Yes, she will be fine. Inform me when she wakes. I have important information for her."

The door slam echoed through my mind. I felt distance, but present all at the same time. The world felt hazy and my sensation was off. Where was I? I tried to open my eyes, but they felt so heavy; they wouldn't budge.

"Naminé, this is my fault, isn't it? I know how distress affects your body. I should've told you sooner, I admit it."

It was Roxas's voice. Why was he here? Where am I? I didn't understand. I continued to try and open my eyes and he gently spoke. I wouldn't ever admit it, but his voice was soothing. It made the situation feel less scary.

"I'm sorry things went down like that. I really never intended to hurt you. You knew about Xion and me…it was just a matter of time, right?"

As I thought, it was just a matter of time. He wanted Xion; I'd known this from the beginning. There was no reason for me to feel so emotionally distressed about it. Was I feeling emotionally distressed? I felt my eyelids growing lighter. I lifted them and was attacked by the brightness of the room. I blinked as I tried to adjust to my new surroundings. It was a hospital room and Roxas was at my side just staring with eyes filled with awe. I was just as shocked as he was. Roxas's presence just became real for me.

There was only one question, though. Why was he here and not my family members?

"Roxas?" I called weakly. The sound of my own voice slightly frightened me. I sounded so hazy and tired.

He smiled weakly. "It's nice to see you awake," he answered. He gingerly brushed my hand; I could see how pale I was.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You apparently passed out during your qualification exams yesterday. You've been unconscious for almost a whole day, Naminé. They called me because they couldn't reach anyone else on your phone," he quickly explained.

I sighed in response. It was usual that my family wasn't responsive to my incidents. Whenever I got sick in school it'd take hours and hours for someone to finally pick me up, which is why the nurse eventually just took me home. We became friends.

I looked away from Roxas and stared toward the window. He was right; the sun was beginning to set. "Oh, right. The doctor had some information for you. I'll be right back, okay?" Roxas quickly left the room. I couldn't help but wonder when I was going to get to go home. If the family hadn't responded in a whole day they were going to be mad at me when I got back. They hated when I randomly disappear.

"Naminé?"

I turned to the sound of the doctor's voice. She was a tall, blonde, woman sporting librarian-style glasses. She was pleasant looking, though. She looked as though she was born to be a doctor; it just suited her perfectly. I wanted to sketch her. She took the seat by my bedside and began to flip through the papers on her clipboard. "You gave us quite a shock. You're a completely healthy girl, yet you fainted and didn't wake up for a whole day," she began.

I could only nervously chuckle. I didn't know what she was getting at. "Is there something wrong with me?" I quietly asked. I almost regretted asking that. Something didn't feel right.

"We ran a couple of tests and discovered your problem. You've been highly stressed lately and that combined with your pregnancy has lead to your feelings of weakness and fainting spells," she quickly informed me. I felt my lungs seize. She was lying. She had to be lying. "You should take some breaks throughout the day. Don't push yourself too hard. I also scheduled you for a prenatal appointment to give you some treatment for your soon to be newborn," she concluded. She smiled at me. I feigned a smile. I didn't know what else to do.

"A-All right," I muttered nervously. I could feel my heartbeat increasing. This was not happening to me. I hadn't found my soul mate yet. I wasn't even in a relationship with anyone! How could I be pregnant? I felt the tears begin to fall from my eyes as the doctor left the room. I watched as Roxas quickly rushed in through the blurs of my tears.

"Naminé? What's wrong?" he asked, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head as my silent tears turned into quiet cries. He tightly grasped my hands and looked me in the eyes. "Tell me," he sweetly demanded. My heart felt like it was breaking. I just wanted to die.

"I'm…pregnant," I cried. Roxas was mortified.
