Chapter Thirty One - News

The year didn't exactly started good. Kagome was fired for hitting her superior. From what she said, Harada wrote a complain about her behavior, a fake one because she keep turning him down. She went for him demanding explanations and ended slapping him for insinuating she had a sugar daddy. George would never admit he was quite relieved. She have been so stressed that she sometimes cried on in frustration.

Kagome have been out filling her resignation papers since after lunch when he received a letter. He left their place and came back a few hours later. She was just finishing to fix dinner for them. When they sat to eat, he noticed she put a paper under her thigh.

"I received an owl today from Verity."

"Your employee? What happened?"

"Things have been crazy since Christmas. I might have to go back to England." her pained look made him regret his poor choice of words.

"I- I see. It was bounded to happen, ne." she weakly said, not looking at him.

"Yes, I have been away for too long. But-"

"When you are going?" her knuckles were white for holding her chopsticks so tight.

"It depends on you."

"Me?"

George moved from his spot to her side. He picked a tiny black box from his pocket with one hand and held her hand with the other. "If you marry me, I can wait until the papers are ready, if not, I may live soon."

"Ah- I- You-" she looked at him with big eyes then to the box in his hand and at him again, not saying anything coherent.

"I know it may be too soon, but things have always been too soon for us and you keep asking what takes me so long. This time, I will not wait. Kagome Higurashi, will you marry me?" he opened the box to show the golden ring with a blue round diamond. It was simple, but the stone reminded him of her beautiful eyes. And she was simple and beautiful, as a flower in the spring.

She said nothing for a long time and a hole was forming in George's guts. What if she rejects him? What if she thought it was too soon? Should he have asked for her to move with him, instead of marriage? So much was in his mind that he only noticed her handing him a paper when she poked it in his chest.

"What is it?"

"Before I accept your proposal, you have to know. Open it."

He unfolded the paper but didn't understood what was there. There was her name. Some other things he had no idea of what was. Is looked like a test of something that was positive. Something concerning health, from the name on the top.

"I don't know what it means. Sorry, love."

"I was a few weeks late, but with been sick and all the stress I thought nothing of it, but when my fortune mentioned delivery, I had to be sure." Late? He really wasn't following what she meant. His face showed his confusion and she must understood because her next words made him thank people in he was sitting in the floor and that it was covered with tatami. "I'm pregnant, George."

'Till next time! Please, review!
