Note: I do NOT own Galactik Football!!!

Rocket POV

I was really worried about Tia. She was hiding something and I had no idea what it was. She's been really distant over the past few days. I didn't know what could've been bothering her. She was playing football again and there was only a scar left on her stomach but other than that she was fine. At least that's what I thought. I had tried talking to her but she kept on insisting she was fine but I knew she wasn't. We hadn't slept together in days and whenever we got close, she would back off. I didn't understand why.

Being as stubborn as I was, I wasn't giving up and right now, we were cuddling in my room but there was something off. Something was tense. So, I decided to loosen up the mood.

I began to kiss down the back of her neck teasingly and then made my way back up to her ear lobe and nibbled on it which, even though she was tense about something, made her giggle. Since she was distracted, I turned myself round so I was on top of her but was careful not crush her and also not put any pressure on her stomach and continued to kiss her. Surprisingly, she kissed back and was a bit more passionate than she had been over the past couple of days. However, I still wasn't happy. Usually by now she'd have at least my trousers off but her hands weren't even near them. I tried nipping on her bottom lip but she refused to open her mouth so I gave up on that and tried removing her shirt but she backed away when she felt me.

'What's wrong?' I asked worriedly. This was not like her. And it definitely wasn't like her not to tell me. 'You can tell me,' I assured her and kissed her softly to assure her even more but even all the reassurance wouldn't get it out of her.

'It's nothing, really,' she lied. I was beginning to get annoyed but I forced myself to keep calm.

'Tia, don't lie to me. There's something going on, I know there is. Tell me…please,' I pleaded. I hated seeing whatever it was eat at her. She was biting hard on her bottom lip, pondering whether or not to tell me but her decision wasn't the one I was looking for.

'I can't,' she admitted softly. Even though I really wanted to know what was going on, I could tell by her face that she badly wanted to tell me but she couldn't so I decided to leave it…for now at least.

'Alright,' I said reluctantly and kissed her before getting myself off her so she could get up. But before she could go anywhere, I took her face in my hands. 'Whatever it is you're worried about, don't worry. You'll get through it, you always do. I promise,' I told her firmly and kissed her. For the first time since she started worrying, she seemed to be relaxed. She must be a bit more content knowing that I didn't mind her not telling me. Even she knows that I'll do anything to protect her even if it means someone getting hurt and being Tia, she usually tried to avoid that.

A while later, Tia seemed to be a bit happier than she had been lately as we were cuddling on the couch watching TV. She still wasn't letting us get passionate though. Suddenly, the phone rang so I kissed her forehead and went up to get it. It was Mei looking for Tia. I handed Tia the phone and went into the kitchen to make tea to hopefully try and ease the mood before trying to get passionate with her tonight.

Five minutes later, I felt her wrap her arms around me and kiss my neck with her soft lips which even now still gave me goose bumps.

'What was all that about?' I asked nosily while enjoying the feeling of her lips on my neck. After I asked the question, she laughed lightly and I could feel her breath on my neck which made me feel dizzy.

'Mei and Yuki want a girl's night in,' she said simply before continuing to kiss my neck. Not being able to resist her anymore I turned around so I could kiss her lips. We continued to kiss for a while before breaking away for air but I decided to kiss down her neck and kept my hands gripped tightly around her waist so she couldn't go anywhere easily. 'They'll come by here later,' she breathlessly, obviously overwhelmed by the passion since we hadn't been this passionate in a while.

'I can think of something to do before then,' I whispered seductively and began to kiss her on the mouth again and to my surprise, she kissed back despite knowing my intentions. In order to see if she had finally given in, I began to nip fiercely at her bottom lip and for once, she happily allowed our tongues to meet. Taking advantage of the situation, I began to slowly remove her shirt and for once, she let me. I flung her shirt on the floor and began to lead her out of the kitchen and into the bedroom while continuing to kiss and also helping her remove my clothing.

Finally in the bedroom, I brought her over to the bed and lay her down below me while she began to take off my pants and I took off hers. Everything that had happened over the past couple of days didn't seem to exist to me anymore and I was quite happy with that. She obviously missed the passion as she seemed very eager and so was I. I let my hands happily move around her near-naked body and as soon as I felt clothing, I removed it. It seemed like everything in the world didn't matter anymore except for her as we finally had all of our clothing removed and were focused on showing just how much we loved each other…

Tia POV

'Get out!' Mei ordered Rocket as I followed behind him, not wanting him to leave but as far as Mei was concerned, he was going.

'Don't worry, I'm going,' he informed her but stopped to kiss me before he left. Even though he was only planning on a quick peck, I didn't let him go that easily and continued to kiss him much to Mei's annoyance.

'Oh come on!' she cried out in exasperation. 'Rocket…OUT!' she ordered. Rocket let go of my hand and muttered something like, 'Never thought I'd see the day I'd be kicked out of my own apartment,' before winking at me and then leaving.

A while later, Mei and Yuki were talking about something but I was too caught up in my own thoughts to be paying attention.

I couldn't believe I had done it. Doing that is exactly what got me in this mess in the first place but I just couldn't resist him. Besides, I hated blocking Rocket out like that but I couldn't find the guts to tell him even if I wasn't sure myself so I had to sleep with him as it made me feel less guilty. I also knew that if I actually had the guts to find out for definite then I wouldn't be blocking him out for so long but I was too scared to discover the truth. I knew I'd have to tell him at some point but I was too scared to.

'…what do you think Tia? Tia…Tia!' a sudden voice said and knocked me out of my thoughts.

'Oh, sorry Mei. What?' I questioned and tried not to show that something was bothering me but it didn't work.

'What is up with you lately? You've been acting really weird over the past couple of days, what is going on?' she asked worriedly. I really needed to work on hiding my problems better. I could get Rocket noticing but Mei?! Even though I knew it was hopeless, I tried lying anyway.

'Nothing's wrong, why would there be?' I confirmed innocently but she could tell I was lying.

'Tia…what is going on?' she exclaimed and even I knew I wasn't getting out of it. Mei wasn't as easy as Rocket to convince out of something. I bit down hard on my bottom lip before taking a deep breath and told her and Yuki what was going on.

'I might be pregnant.'

Now that Tia has finally revealed her problems to Mei and Yuki, will they be able to convince her to find out for certain and also tell Rocket??? I guess we'll soon find out…

Hope you guys enjoyed!!! Please review!!!
