Juri wasn't able to overcome that moment of shock brought specially by Utena misunderstanding. "It's not mine!" she said angrily waving it slightly at her, "It's ..." she whispered in a low tone "Kanae's." Utena tried to reach for it slowly "May I ……..barrow that?" Juri handed it to her "I'm going to go speak with Kanae." As she nearly stomped down the hall Utena made a phone call Anthy up right away, Anthy's voice questioned as she picked it up "Utena?" Utena held the positive test in her hand, "Kanae's pregnant… And I think Juri is too." Anthy wasn't quite sure about the second half of that, "Kanae's pregnant? But that means…" Utena spoke tentatively "Yes and I bet it has something to do with her nightmares." Anthy voice sounded puzzled "Nightmares? Has she told you about them?" Utena shook her head "No but she might have told Juri." Anthy's eyes narrowed deep in thought "Are you sure?" Utena thought she couldn't see Anthy shrugged "Don't know."

Juri knocked lightly on the bedroom door "Kanae?" pressing her ear against the door she only heard crying. Her finger's turned the door knob "May I come in?" she waited a moment however there was no response. Entering in slowly Juri gulped as she spotted Kanae on the bed, she was holding a pillow to her face as she cried. "I hate her." she sobbed, Juri managed to walk over and sit next to her holding her lightly. Kanae pulled away "Please don't touch me…" she said in a hushed whisper wrapping her own hands around her shoulders. "It'll be alright…" Kanae's voice hissed "No it's not! How can it be?! I'm pregnant and I don't even know who the father is!!!" her body shook with anger as her mind exploded "How can I deal with this? I don't even know… know….." she stopped crying again, Juri stroked Kanae's arm trying to offer her strength into the other woman.

Anthy bit her lips, it obviously had to be Akio whatever his plan was its wheel was already in full spin. She could only imagine Kanae giving birth to a smaller version of him, however more innocent and defenseless. Perhaps he wanted to steal the child from her! She wondered what he would do, he could escape just like Utena had. Go in to the hospital and steal the child back into his world making a new rose bride…. Or groom. She voiced these thoughts to Utena with a feeling of dread, Utena of course gave her the image of Nemuro Memorial Hall. Stating that she and Juri had used it to obtain Kanae from that world, in spite the fact she couldn't go with Kanae and Miki. Anthy gave a heavy sigh she doubted that those two alone could do much against Akio. He was the best and only could be beaten by the best, those of whom couldn't enter his world at the moment.

Kanae's anger subsided but fear was eating away at her heart, Juri sat as closely as she could without making her uncomfortable. She listened as Kanae spoke about the nightmares along with how it couldn't be possible. That she was impregnated by it, Juri could only connect the dots in silence. Akio had raped her she knew that much, but how does one explain her amnesia towards him? Kanae sniffed loudly at the end proclaiming she hated Anthy. Juri asked why but in a more indirect way then Utena would have, "Because… she just had to be right… and I want so badly to prove her wrong." Juri tucked some lose blonde hair behind Kanae's ear. Juri let hand linger for a little longer then Kanae liked, pulling away she asked for some water. Juri left feeling like an idiot she let herself be exposed a little too much, after fetching the drink she left Kanae alone. She plopped down in the living room once more causing Utena to whisper a goodbye to Anthy.

Utena hopped on to the other end of the couch "So…" she started off awkwardly, she rubbed the back of her neck as she spoke. "Are you going to tell Miki?" she asked suddenly two inches away from Juri's nose. "Excuses me?" Juri asked realizing she had absolutely no clue what Utena was talking about, "The you know…" she held out the pregnancy test, arching an elegant eye brow Juri shook her head. Utena looked shocked "But he'll be a daddy!!" Juri narrowed her eyes and scrunched her eye brows "No he won't…" Utena held up a finger "But the mommy needs her beloved to care for the child with." Juri sucked on her lips making them thin, "Utena that would never happen because I like women…." Utena's mouth fell open wide. "Oh… yeah I knew that!"

So more hints of the black rose thanks to the Hall! and a small explanation (Kanae would be able to go in with Miki only do to Utena/Juri's caskets pushed out.) At the end I wanted Utena to do the sex talk but couldn't find a good way to say "Juri likes girls!" LOL! So eh!
