chapter 11

"w-what?... how was she a Sohma?" he asks sitting next to you

"my grandmother was a full blooded Sohma...Akito's father found out that she was having an affair with a member outside...he was american and Akito's father forced her to leave the Main Estate...and she traveled to american with her american lover and had my mom... her husband had Dave with his first wife who died of cancer two years before that they had my mom and then had me...you see this necklace?"

you say pulling out your silver pendent...from under your sweater. "this neclace protectes us from our zodiac form when where streesed or hugged by a member from the other sex...my mother and her mother both had one...i have all three and one for each member the zodiac of this generation...but without this necklace when i'm hugged by a member outside of the zodiac i transform...Akito knows all this...and thats why... he wants me to have the next child to take over his place..."

Hatori goes a little pale and manages to say "Akito knows this?! thaat little brat!"

you back up a little bit "yes he knows..."

"we have to tell the others..."

you give him a smile and say "let's go..."

Hatori grabs his keys

"Ha'ri?" he looks over at you "here's the necklace" you hand him a silver pendent and he puts it on...

"you look good with that on Ha'ri"

he looks at you and laughs "you think so? so do you" you laugh back "thank you"

SO you both drive for a little more...you start to fell sick...

"Hatori? can you pull over...i'm getting ill..."

he pulls over that instance... and you jump out of the car and head for behind a bush and throw up...

"Kira? are you okay?" he says as he puts his hands on your shoulders and kneels besides you...

you wipe your mouth and sit up... "yeah i'm fine...i-i don't know what came over me..."

Oh No! this can't be happening again! when that happened with Saiki i found out when i was in the hospital that i was going to have his baby... but if it's true then...what can i do?

This is what Akito wanted...

"are you sure you're okay? i can carry you if you like..."

you are shooked out of your thoughts when Ha'ri asked if he would let you carry him to the car

"y-yes...i don't mind" you reply blushing and he swepts you off your feet... and puts you in the front passanger seat...

" you know...we don't have to vist Shigure if your not up to it" he says driving off... "i could turn around...are you sure you're up to it?" he asks one more time...

"yes...i think so...when i was hospitalized from leaving the gang...i was in for about two weeks... i had a fractored femor..from getting smaked with a bat... and some stiches on my face and arms i was bruised everywhere...but the hospital they ran a pregnancy test on me because i was in the age to start bearing children...and i was... my aunt and uncle asked my if i would have and abortion...but i didn't want that... so i was going to keep the child...abortion was out...because i think that is wrong for a child to pay for the choices that i've made..."

"did you lose the baby?" Ha'ri asks you on a soft voice

you sniffle "n-no...i didn't... after i i was in my nineth month so i took a shower...i went down the stairs and had a small piece of cake it was my birthday...and i went into labor and later that day had my child at home a baby girl named Grace weighting at 9 lbs. 20 oz. at 20 inches...

we had her home for about seven months and she was getting sick and wouldn't get better when the doctors did and MRI on her we found out that she had and incurable disease...Alexander's disease...i wached her die for a year and a half... when i found out i was going to have a baby...i senced that i was going to have a little girl... and was going to be name Grace...she would be a two years old today..."

-flashback-

'how long has Grace had seizures Kira?' you look at the doctor after he asked you and you give him a pale look...and then answer 'not until now...whats wrong with her?'

' it could be Alexander's Disease...we are going to do and MRI on her just to be safe'

after what seemed like hours the doctor soon comes out...

'we just compleated an MRI on your daughter Miss Kamron...It soesn't look good...we're sorry to say this but she has Alexander disease (ALX) is a rare and often fatal nervous system'

'what happens to a child with Alexanders Dieases?'

'Most cases of Alexander disease are genetic, caused by a dominant mutation (change) in the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene on chromosome 17. Usually this mutation occurs randomly in an individual without a family history of the disease. There are reports of rare familial cases with affected siblings. Therefore, unaffected parents of a child with ALX are at a low risk to have another affected child. Individuals with ALX who live long enough to reproduce have a 50 chance for an affected child. Since GFAP mutations have not been found in all cases of ALX, there may rarely be other genetic or non-genetic explanations for this disease.'

'Is there any treatment for Grace?'

'I'm sorry but there is neither cure nor standard treatment for Alexander disease. All treatment is symptomatic and supportive, for example antibiotics for intercurrent infection and anticonvulsants for seizure control are usually used...it's possibal that she won't make it to her second birthday...I'm so sorry...'
