TW: RAPE MENTION
Ah, last chapter!
I had so much fun writing this! And not so much fun getting in some major trouble for writing this...
Haha, there may be a sequel. I've written up to like chapter 10 but have not written anymore since March, and the date I'm uploading this is 6/14/12 (I think)...
Thank you for reading so much, guys! It really makes me feel good as a writer :)
See you soon in another fanfiction! (Don't worry...I'm still writing!)
Sweaty and tired I gasped as I help my baby for the first time. Her eyes were still closed, but she had the softest patch of blonde hair on her head.
"She- she's beautiful!" I exclaimed. She cried a bit and slowly opened her eyes. They were blue-green... just like Len's.
"Len! She has your eyes!" Len leaned up closer to get a better look.
"Rin, she looks just like you," he calmly said, stroking the newborn's cheeks. "Although I'll have to agree with the eyes. They most definitely are mine."
I laughed softly. The baby waved her tiny fist and blinked.
"Well, Ms. Kagamine," Dr. Yamata said after washing her hands, "what do you plan on naming her?"
I smiled. "Haruka," I replied, turning towards Len. He smiled at me; I could tell what he was thinking.
Dr. Yamata smiled and talked to us a few minutes before she left.
Len smiled. "You- you remembered!" he exclaimed.
I smiled back. "Of course," I replied. "I had to find a way to choose a name for her we both liked. And when you said Haruka I got excited because I like that name too."
I played with Haruka's hair and heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said, wondering who it was.
"You do not know how long we were waitng out there!" a familiar voice exclaimed.
"M-Miku-chan!" Sure enough, the familiar sea green pigtails rounded the corner.
"Rin-chan!" Miku exclaimed in reply. As soon as she caught at least a glimpse of Haruka her face lit up.
"Aww, she's so cute!" She squealed. "Oh; she's beautiful! She makes me want to have a baby of my own!"
I laughed. "Don't," I replied. "At least wait."
She smiled. "Wouldn't think of it."
"Hey," I said, "where's Meiko-chan? Did she come?"
Miku nodded. "She didn't know how much longer we would be waiting, so she went to get a coke out of the vending machine."
"There's vending machines?"
"Yeah."
"Where?"
"Outside the cafeteria."
I turned to Len. "You need to get me something soon." I said. He laughed.
The door opened. "Rin-chan?" It was Meiko.
"Yeah?" The door shut and Meiko came in.
"Oh my god." Meiko ran to my bedside. "Rin-chan she is so cute! Oh she looks just like you!"
"Thanks... I guess," I replied with a small laugh. "But she has Len's eyes, don't forget about him! She wouldn't even be here if it weren't for Len!"
My friends smiled. "So what'd you name her?" Miku asked, reaching over the railing of the bed to touch Haruka's fist.
I smiled. "Haruka," I replied. "Len's and my choice, remember?" She nodded, also smiling.
Miku sighed. "I think we'll get going. I know you need your rest, and besides, it's almost midnight and we have school..."
"Midnight!" I exclaimed. I looked over at the wall clock, which read 11:37. "Len, open the curtains, please," I told him.
"No problem." Len opened the curtains and, sure enough, the only lights were from the buildings and neon signs.
"Wow." I looked at my friends, "Bye," I said, "see you whenever! I'll call you guys when we leave."
"Okay!" they replied simultaneously, and the two left.
I turned to Len. "I'll let you hold her," I told him. "I've been holding him all this time!" I kissed Haruka on the forehead, who was squirming as I handed her to Len.
Len sniffed. "What's wrong?" I asked, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
Len wiped a tear from his eye. "It- it's nothing," he replied, "it's just- I'm a dad! It's the best feeling ever!"
I smiled and nodded, about to say something, but there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Dr. Yamata walked in. "So, Ms. Kagamine, how is everything?"
"It's wonderful, thank you," I replied.
She smiled. "Do you think your daughter can stay here tonight?"
I nodded. "I'd feel more comfortable if she could."
"Certainly."
I laid back and closed my eyes, aware of only the sounds in front of me. Before I knew it I was asleep...
I woke up and looked around. Haruka was sleeping in a bassinet next to the hospital bed.
"Hey, Len," I said, but there was no reply. "Len?" I looked to the other side of me, and no Len. The only thing there was a sticky note stuck to the chair Len was sitting in.
"Hey Rin," the note said,
"Went to school to pick up the assignment I missed. Will call you when I'm almost back.
Love you,
Len"
I got out of bed to pick up Haruka. I picked her up and there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." I crawled back with Haruka in my arms.
I was shocked at who it was. "Akihara-san," I said in a stern tone, "what are you doing here?"
"Oh no, no, no, don't be like that!" Kyoko sounded... sad. "I came to say I'm sorry."
"Okay." I pulled Haruka a little closer to my body.
"There's a reason why I'm acting like that," Kyoko began. "It all started six years ago. When I was ten, my parents divorced. It was really hard on me"
I gasped. "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Kyoko nodded. "Anyway, I decided to live with my mom. When I was thirteen she remarried. At first I liked the guy, but it took me a couple years to realize he wasn't right.
"My brother, who was fifteen at the time, decided to move in with my mom, Sakaya-san -that's the man's name-, and I. I felt much happier with my older brother around. He knew Sakaya-san wasn't right in the head too- but Mom wouldn't believe us.
"When I was fourteen, Sakaya-san- Sakaya-san-" she choked on her words. "Sakaya-san raped me."
I gasped. Kyoko nodded as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"Soon after I discovered I was pregnant. I felt absolutely horrible. I didn't want to be carrying that man's child. That should've been my mom. Not me!" She wiped another tear.
"Well my mom found the several pregnancy tests I took in the trashcan- all positive, of course. She yelled at me and demanded to know who the father was. I kept telling her, 'It's Sakaya-san, it's Sakaya-san', but she didn't believe me.
"It took my family almost a month to warm up to the idea that I was pregnant. My mom finally believe me and divorced Sakara-san.
"When I was about three or four months along, some girls at my school found out. They pushed me and shoved me, teased me and made cry. Well, all of that resulted in a miscarriage.
"I was heartbroken. Even though I never wanted to get pregnant when I was that young, once I had accepted the fact I was really excited, then it was all taken away from me!" She started crying.
"Oh, Akihara-san, I'm so, so, sorry! I wish I'd've known!"
Kyoko sniffed. "Please call me Kyoko-chan," she replied, "Anyway, I transferred schools so no one here knows about this. Well, ever since then, when I see a pregnant women I get sad, sometimes even mad that they get to experience what I was so close to experiencing. I mean, not that I want to get pregnant anytime soon but...
"When I found out you were pregnant I was especially mas because you're close to the age I was. I guess I'm having a hard time accepting that that is what was meant to be."
I put me free arm around Kyoko to hug her. "I'm so, so sorry," I said. "And I promise I will not tell anyone. Not even Len."
Kyoko smiled. "Thank you so much Rin-chan!" She brushed a black ringlet behind her ear and looked at Haruka with a relieved smile.
"M-may I hold her?" she asked.
I smiled. "Sure."
Kyoko received Haruka with awe. "She- she's so beautiful," she said. "Oh, she looks just like you!"
I smiled. "Her name's Haruka," I said.
Kyoko smiled too. "Haruka Kagamine," she repeated.
She gave Haruka back to me. She smiled hopefully "So, Rin-chan," she said, "friends?"
I smiled back. "Friends."
Kyoko looked at the clock. "Well, I'd better get going, she said. "I called in to school 'sick', so I'd better go home and act like it!" We both laughed and my new friend left.
About fifteen minutes later Len was back. "How's my baby girl?" he said in a cutesy voice, playing with Haruka's hair.
I laughed. "It's gonna be four months before she can laugh, you know."
Len was about to say something but there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The sound of tussling and pushing came to my ears. "Oh, let me see my grandbaby," a familiar voice said.
"It's my grandbaby too!" said another.
Len's parents.
"Len sweety!" Mrs. Kagamine exclaimed. She turned to me. "Oh, Rin-chan! She's beautiful! Oh, let me hold her! Please!"
"Okay," I replied, handing Haruka to Len's mom. "Her name is Haruka," I added.
"She's gorgeous!" Mr. Kagamine exclaimed.
Mrs. Kagamine laughed. "I suppose we should tell him now...?"
Len looked confused. "Tell me what?"
Mr. Kagamine nodded.
"Len sweetie," Mrs. Kagamine began with a smile, "you're father and I are having another baby."
Len's expression was completely wiped off his face. "What...!"
I couldn't help but start giggling uncontrollably.
"We would've told you sooner," Mr. Kagamine said.
Mrs. Kagamine nodded and handed Haruka back to me. "We found out about four months ago. We were planning to tell you when we met up at that restaurant, but too many things were going on then.
Len sighed. "Well... I guess I'll warm up to the idea..."
Mr. Kagamine patted his son on the back. "Adda boy!" he exclaimed.
I stroked Haruka's hair and wondered: what is the life of a normal teenager like? Oh, well. Guess I'd have to wait till Haruka was fourteen. 3
