Mikan POV:
"36 weeks? Not long left to go" Natsume's Stepmother. After the commotion at the party, I never learn her name. So I decided to accept her recent invitation to lunch with her and her daughter.
"It feels like I found out I was pregnant yesterday and here I am almost ready to give birth"
"It flies by. It really does. So will the years after the baby is born. It feels like yesterday I had my daughter and now she's getting married" She replied with a dreamy smile.
"Speaking of your daughter, Aya, where is she?" I asked.
"She's running a little late. She had some work to catch up on. She shouldn't be too long" Aya explained.
"Oh. Okay… on the phone you said that you need to speak to me about something important?..."
"Yes. About Natsume and his father" She paused. "Akira is miserable and I think Natsume is too"
"I can't involve myself in that. It's not my place" I said awkwardly.
"It's as much your place as it is mine. Natsume is your baby's father, Akita is my husband and your baby's grandfather. God knows that they won't fix it. We have to" She said, frustrated.
"I suppose your right" I sighed "but I honestly have no clue what to do"
We spent the rest of lunch discussing what we could do, until we finally came up with an idea. Aya's daughter never showed and we eventually parted ways. After back home, I found Aoi on the sofa watching T.V.
"Aoi. I haven't seen you in months. Where have you been?" I asked, shuffling towards her.
"Youichi and I took sometime off of university, we went travelling" She replied after smiling up at me. I smiled back and plopped myself next to her on the sofa. "How is my little niece or nephew?" She asked placing a hand on my stomach.
"You nephew is doing great and by the sound of it, you are too"
"Much. Except I haven't talked to dad in a while. He's avoiding me" She said turning off the T.V.
"He's angry at himself" I breathed.
"I want to say he should be but he loves her. The last time he felt like that, it was with mum" She said.
"You're right, he shouldn't blame himself for falling in love... What was she like? Your mother?"
"I can't remember much. I was four when she died, but the one thing I know for sure. Her beauty was almost angelic and dad loved her more than anything" She replied with dreamy smile plastered to his face.
"I could tell by her picture on the wall. She was breathtaking and so are you. You look just like her" I smiled at her.
"Thank you but no. I'm not that beautiful" She sighed.
"Whatever you say… So, how are things with Youichi? Any new developments in that area?"
"I think so. I don't really know if it's classed as a development yet but I think he is going to ask me to move in with him" She replied after taking a deep breath.
"That's amazing. Are you going to say yes?" I asked.
"I don't know. I love him but we're just kids… I … I don't know" She breathed.
"He's not asking you to marry him… He just wants to be closer to you. Is that so bad?"
"I guess not and I didn't think about it like that. If he does, I'll say yes" She said smiling at me.
"Good. You too are good together"
"Who is good together?" Natsumes voice echoed into the living. He walked inn with a frown on his face.
"Youichi and Aoi" I replied.
"Yeah they are. You are" He said looking from me to Aoi.
"Thank you… Listen Nattie, there is something I need to tell you about Youichi and I" Aoi said remaining calm. Natsumes frown transformed into a scowl as Aoi finished her sentence.
"You're pregnant!" He semi-shouted, semi-growled.
"God no! I'm too young for that!" She shouted back.
"Hey, I'm five years old than you. I'm still young" I scowled.
"I didn't mean it like that! Listen, Nattie. I think Youichi is going to ask me to move in with him. If he does, then I will say yes" She took deep breathes to calm herself.
"Oh okay" He said.
"You're are surprisingly calm" Aoi said smiling.
"I was about to say the same thing" I paused "Why are you so calm?"
"If you ask me it's the calm before the storm" Aoi said.
"I was just thinking that. He's waiting for something bigger to happen so he can justify kicking off the way he does" I said.
"Can you not talk about me like I'm not here" He said annoyed.
"We could but that would ruin the fun" Aoi said smirking. In the mists of our laughter, my phone began to ring.
"Hello?" I answered happily.
"Turn on the news right now" Anna demanded.
"Okay, but I have to ask. When did you start watching the news?" I replied, taking the remote out of Aoi's hand.
BREAKING NEWS!
"Wait! Did you say nephew!"
