Kari felt sick for the next day, and the day after that.it might have been the fact that she was pregnant, or maybe that she felt so worried. Pregnant?! She was to scared too tell her mother, it just wasn't something she thought she could cope with. She had something like a fever, flu, and headache all mixed in. There were days when she felt like she couldn't go on, then there were days when she felt OK. She remebered telling Davis.
"Davis...?" she dragged him into a corner one day. It was well known they were going out.
"Yeah?" he asked, not really concentrating.
"I'm... pregnant," she spilled, and looked up into his eyes. He looked down, and Kari saw the first look of pity he had ever given.
"Oh... oh, Kari, I'm so sorry..... We'll work it out. I'll be there for you. I.... I promise. I really do. Come on, we can always put it up for addoption. Or maybe we can look after it, together. Oh Kari, I'm really sorry, I really am," he stammered, and gently, her kissed her.
Kari looked up at him, and her eyes filled with tears.
"I know, Dai, I know, but.... I just... can't believe this is happening. At only sixteen, oh, Dai, I just.... I dunno," she ended lamely.
"I'll be there for you," he promised again. "Forever and ever. Hey, maybe for my eighteenth (yeah, he's seventeen) birthday, I'll get an appartement an' car, and a job or something. A part-time college and everything'll work out. I know it will, Kari, I promise."
He kissed her again, (Note: In Japan, people can get married slightly younger.) And Kari once again felt the warmth and comfort of his love, and she felt secure and safe..... for the time being.
There were days when Kari just couldn't hide being pregnant. Luckily, Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya were away most of the summer, the time when Kari was going threw the most pregnant. Mrs. Kamiya noted to her friends that 'Kari was going threw a weight-gaining' stage, yet no one really knew. There were so many sick days before, and kids whispered behind her back, but Davis kept true to his word. He assisted her everywhere. He wrote her love notes in best writing on his finest paper. He took extra time each day just to make sure she could laugh and have a good time. They started planning out what to name the baby. A good father? Perhaps.
It happened some day in September. Kari felt it. It was just so clear. She knew it was life, and it was the day she feared forever. She nearly cried, but kept it in. Calmly, she approached her mother.
"Mom," she said, thought she could hardly stand, so she sat.
"Yes Kari?" her mother asked, concerned.
"Well, Mom, I have a problem," she started.
"Does it have anything to do with your weight gaining?" Mrs. Kamiya asked worriedly.
"Well, yes, but...." Kari tried to find the right words. There was silence for five minutes. "Mom, I'm pregnant! Going threw labour as we speak!"
Her mother looked at her and started to open her mouth, then stopped. She tried to open it again, and then blinked. Another few minutes went by before she could speak, and her words were not excited.
"Go!" she screamed, horribly and loudly, like a raging dragon. "Get that disgrace out of my house, we have a proper family! Sex comes after marriage, and not at sixteen! Get rid of that disgrace! GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kari started to cry tears of betrayal and heartthrob, worst than ever she had felt. Tai ran into the kitchen and tried to assist Kari to his car.
"Stop!" bellowed their mother.
"Mom, didn't you ever make a mistake?! Didn't you?! I'm helping my younger sister, whether you fucking like it or not! Face it Mom, it happens!"
"Get out!" she screamed, not a Tai, but at Kari, sobbing in his arms. And then, she fainted.
Her next memory was in the car, with Tai. He was crying, and his dirty face was streaked with tears, and his eyes were blood-red. He looked so much more serious, so much older.
"God Kari," he said as soon as he saw she had come back. "I didn't know...... if I had... you would've never gone to that fuckin' party. Shit, I'm so sorry! Oh Kari, Kari!"
"It's OK, how could you have known? It's really not your....." she croaked, and couldn't end.
He was sobbing again, and she cried with him. She felt like something had been ripped out of her. Family wasn't getting kicked out because you thought you would have a boyfriend. Family was acceptance. She was a disgrace.
"Tai," she said finally. "I need your cellphone, lemme phone Davis."
She dialed in the comforting numbers, with whose ring she had so much faith in.
"Hello? This is Kari.... Yes, Kari, is Davis there? Could I talk to him?" she asked Davis' mother patiently.
"Oh, Kari," she paused. "I thought you knew. Davis moved down with his cousin, away in Kyoto."
Horrified, she hung up to the teller of the false faith. Davis had betrayed her.
So, Kari's baby is about to be born. Wadd'ya think, what should it's name be? Boy or girl? What should it look like? OK, sorry for short chapter, bye!
