Has He Left Yet?

AN: I just want to say that I made a mistake on the first chapter. Ruki is supposed to be 13 not 14! Thank you Infinity Blade for pointing that out to me in your review. ~_~ Oh, and Digimon doesn't belong to me.

It had been nine months since the "incident". Ruki's mother took the news relatively well. After all, Aki had made some mistakes in her life as well and she couldn't really blame her daughter since they were the same mistakes. Aki still gave Ruki a good lesson though. Her grandmother remembered when Aki had gotten pregnant so she didn't really get as mad as she would have otherwise. Ruki's father didn't react at all.
Jenrya's dad had given him a lecture on the subject. His mother started telling him to make sure Ruki didn't have to take care of the baby by herself.
Takato kind of went ballistic and Kazu and Kenta congratulated him. Juri had talked to Ruki trying to give moral support.

Ruki and her mother were in the car on their way to the hospital. "I'm very surprised with the situation you got yourself into considering the way you used to act on the subject of boys."
"Mom!"
"Has he denied the baby is his yet?"
"No he hasn't." Aki looked sceptical.
"Is he still in town?"
"Of course he is! He wouldn't leave me."
"Don't be so sure of yourself. It has been proven that 88% of teenage boys who get teenage girls pregnant don't stay with their baby's mother for long if at all."
"Yeah well... he's not like that."
"You know... my friend said the exact same thing when she got pregnant back in high school. She hasn't seen him since she was 6 months pregnant."
"Look mom! I know he won't leave. Stop asking me questions okay?! You've been asking me the same questions practically every day since you found out."
"Well... if you're sure of yourself."

"You feeling all right? You look a little pale." Kazu asked.
"Ruki's in the hospital right now. She's going to be there until the baby's born."
"So?" Kenta, as always, was being and idiot. (sorry Kenta lovers!)
"So that means she is going to give birth soon. I'm just nervous!"
"Hey! What about her schoolwork? I mean she is in the 8th grade like us right?" Kazu asked.
"Yeah, that's right." Takato spoke for the first time.
"Then wouldn't her mid term exams be in two weeks as well?" Kenta wondered.
"I asked her that yesterday when she told me that she was going to the hospital today. She said that her teachers would omit her mid terms and asked me if I could bring her homework for her since her grandma is too old to go out all the time and her mom is always on dates with her dad."
"And...?" Takato urged.
"And I agreed."

Ruki stared up at her ceiling.
"Hey! Hello?!" Ruki was snapped out of her thoughts. She looked at the speaker. A woman in her mid thirty's was sleeping in the bed to Ruki's left by the door. She was asleep when Ruki was brought in.
"Huh? What do you want?!" Ruki demanded.
"No need to be so harsh. I just want to get to know my room mate."
"Humph! Whatever."
"My name is Anna. (Anna is my best friend and in my opinion is very wise and mature) What's your name?"
"Ruki."
"Ah. Did they run out of room in the childrens' ward?" Anna sounded amused.
"I'm 14! I don't belong in the childrens' ward."
"Oh. Did you get pregnant?"
"Why else would I be in the pregnancy ward?"
"Well then... I remember when I was first pregnant."
"Yeah?"
"I was 17. He said he wouldn't leave me to take care of the child by myself. I actually believed him." Anna looked close to tears. "The reason I believed was because usually if a guy leaves, he denies fathering the baby then leaves before the baby is born. He waited till he got out of high school then hit the road and I never saw him again."
"My mom got pregnant with me when she was 17 too. My dad left when I was really young. He came back 9 months ago. I was real mad at him that night he came back."
"Why?"
"He acted as if he had never been gone! He wanted to be a family again. As if! I hate him for leaving us and nothing is going to change that!"
"You sound as if you are trying to convince yourself that."
"No I'm not! Besides, he was the reason I got pregnant in the first place. Like I said, I was mad at him for coming back so I packed my bags and ran away."
"You ran away?"
"Yeah. I ended up at my friend's apartment. He was surprised when I showed up. You see I was crying and I never did that in front of anyone before."
"So he took advantage of you when you were vulnerable."
"That's not true! I love him and he loves me."
"Are you sure about that? How do you know he's not putting you on?"
"It's the way he says it... He sounds so sincere."
"Some boys are really good at acting."
"Look! Just because your first guy left doesn't mean mine will."
"Whatever you say. I'm surprised he hasn't left yet." A nurse walked in.
"Miss Makino, someone is here to see you." Jenrya walked in and the nurse left.
"Hey Ruki. I have your homework." Jenrya walked up to Ruki's bed and put the stack of books on the lamp table beside her bed on the right side.
"Thanks Jen." He leaned down and kissed her on the lips and she kissed back. "So how's goggle-head, four-eyed-retard, visor-moron and puppet-girl?" (no offence to Takato, Kenta, Kazu and Juri)
Jenrya laughed. "You mean Takato, Kenta, Kazu and Juri? They're doing good. Well other than the fact that Kenta and Kazu are failing Math and Science."
"Those idiots are doing well in everything else?"
"What do you think?"
"You're right."
"How have you been feeling lately?"
"Moody."
"I thought so. I have to go home now... I promised Shuchoin I would help her with homework. I love you." He kissed her again. "Bye."
"I love you too." With that said, Jenrya left.
