Hey, kakite here.I know ya'll hate review responses, but it's good for the people that give the reviews anyway.

Dennisud, you will be very pleased with everyone's reaction.. mwah ha... though I am afraid Misato's actions are hard to predict so for some of you, if may not be pleasing enough, if you think so and have a better idea, please tell me! As for the fastness of their relationship, I shall explain that later in the story, tis sort of part of the plot so I don't want to reveal too much ^.^

D14852001: Thanks... it would help if u explained but as I said before, the rushed part is kinda part of the larger plot of the story. I already have much of it written it's just matter of getting it posted!

Anyway... into the story (not the disclaimer freeness... hee hee, maybe I DO own eva.)
CHAPTER 3

Asuka nodded, and then, almost as if on call, Misato stumbled in looking rather tired. She took off her shoes and wandered into the room, passing the couch. Suddenly she paused, realizing something was wrong in the fact that Shinji was hugging Asuka quite closely. She backed up and stared at them, silently demanding an explanation.

"Shinji stood up, looking at Asuka first for reassurance. She nodded again, and you could almost see her bracing herself for what was about to come.

Shinji took a deep breath, also preparing himself. This was WAY beyond his normal standards of courage, but he knew he had to.

"Uhhhh, Misato?..." Shinji stammered, "Asuka is..."

"Yes?" Misato said, expecting more.

"Asuka is... pr...e...gn...ant..." he finally managed to stammer.

"SHE'S WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!??!?!?!" Misato yelled. "SHE'S PREGNANT, HOW, WHEN, FOR HOW LONG!?!?!"

There was a pause, when Asuka was going to explain, but Misato kept going.

"OH MY GOD, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO... THERE ARE THE ANGELS... AND HOW WILL YOU TAKE CARE OF IT... AND YOU'RE ONLY 14 YEARS OLD, OH MY GOD."

Misato was pacing, Shinji reclaimed his spot next to Asuka on the couch and held her close, ready to protect her from anything Misato had to throw at them. Misato simply yelled. Shinji could see the clock in the kitchen and her lecture was just reaching an hour.

"Shinji, I am scared..." Asuka whispered into his ear.

"So am I," he replied quietly, "So am I..."

Finally Misato started to calm down and be at least a little reasonable. Kneeling next to them, she demanded to know exactly how long ago.

"A month or so..." Shinji said readily.

"Oh god..." Misato said.

"And we don't want an abortion, right Shinji?" Asuka said, looking back at Shinji.

The whole thing was almost too much for Shinji to stand, but he hung on.

"Hai." He said matter-of-factly.

"Oh... You two have stood up to so much, you are so brave." Misato said soothingly before embracing them and whispering "Congratulations."

As Misato turned to leave, Shinji said one last thing.

"Oh and Misato, don't tell anyone just yet ok? We're not even absolutely sure." Shinji lied. (about the being sure part)

A few days before, when Misato was gone again, they had gone out and bought a pregnancy test at the drugstore. The test was positive and it was then that they both completely accepted what was to be.

"I'll give you a month to work it out, NERV will find out about then because that is your next synch test." Misato said.

Both of them nodded, and Misato gave them one last smile, and a sigh before leaving the room. They could hear the refrigerator open and Misato take out a pack of beer cans.

Asuka began to shiver and Shinji kept her warm and safe, this was all they needed. To have the presence of each other was enough.
Shinji began sleeping in Asuka's room after that, since Misato knew anyway. It helped them both deal with the baby to come. Of course by then, most of their friends had realized something was different at the least, but Hikari had miraculously managed to keep people off their case. Soon after they had told Misato about the baby, Asuka and Shinji also told Hikari. Her reaction was very similar to Misato's, lots of yelling, and then after she calmed down a bit, she asked TONS of questions like "How long ago?" and "How did you know?"

Asuka and Shinji did the best they could to answer, but they were both exhausted. Hikari kept eyeing Asuka's stomach after that, when she thought no one was looking.

Both Shinji and Asuka were both taking it surprisingly well, considering their circumstances.

They heading from the lockers rooms to their evas, when Shinji began to get nervous. He sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall helplessly.

"What will my father think? Will he hate me more?" he thought, "Will Asuka be allowed to pilot anymore? Oh god... what is going to happen..."

Asuka had noticed When Shinji sat down and was waiting about 20 feet down the hall. She looked at him closely, wondering if there was something seriously wrong.

"Shinji?" she asked down the hall.

Shinji nearly jumped from his position, turning his head quickly to Asuka.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, waiting for a response.

Now you must remember, that Shinji is not an open person, even with Asuka. So He did not respond to her question. He simply got up and walked toward the evas, he was with the woman he loved, and that was all that mattered.

They were sitting in their evas when Ritsuko started to act strangely.

"There's something wrong with Asuka's sync ratio..." she said slowly. "I can't seem to get an accurate reading."

Shinji gulped, and he turned the com on between him and Asuka, she was smiling, seeming to enjoy watching them try too figure out what was wrong with her. Shinji was ACTUALLY starting to enjoy the situation as well. Ritsuko was still trying to figure out why Asuka's sync ratios were messed up, when Maya mentioned something about life support changing modes.

"Sempai..." Maya said unsurely. "There seems to be a switch in the life support system in the eva. It has changed modes from 'normal' to 'intensive two-organism support' with a sub-mode of 'fluctuating hormone levels'."

"What does /I mean?" Ritsuko asked.

"Well, according to the records, this only happens when the pilot is..." Maya paused, "is... /I?" Maya said incredulously.

Shinji and Asuka were both working very hard to suppress their laughter inside their evas. Misato was also sitting back enjoying herself, because for once, she knew something that NERV /I know. She smirked to herself as she thought of all the stuff she didn't know about NERV.

"Asuka... the tester seems to think you are pregnant, you may need to stay in here for a while so we can work it out." Ritsuko said over the com.

Shinji was surprised how Asuka kept a straight face when she said. "Who said I'm not?"

"Ha ha, stop kidding with me this is serious." Ritsuko said, obviously annoyed.

"I am quite serious Ritsuko." Asuka said, still managing to show no emotion whatsoever.

Ritsuko glanced over to Misato who was at the time smiling at the event.

"Do you know something about this?" Ritsuko said to a now laughing Misato.

"She's... telling the truth... she and... Shinji..." Misato said through an attempt to suppress her now raging laughter.

"WHHHATTT!" Ritsuko yelled in total disbelief.

The whole command room was staring at Misato in total disbelief. Even Gendo, who was normally emotionless, showed some surprise considering he would be a grandfather if this were true.

Gendo got up and talked into the com.

"Is this true Shinji?" he said, with a nearly detectable hint of something in his voice.

"Hai, otasan." (yes, father) Shinji said, looking down in shame, but still somewhat amused at the same time.

"Ritsuko, I will trust you to make the right decisions about this, it is not my problem." Gendo said.

Shinji looked up sadly, he had known that Gendo would do this, for you could hardly call him a father if it weren't for the genes. Still, he had a tiny shred of hope that Gendo would accept this grandchild, but all that hope was smashed. The baby would have no grandparents other then the cold-hearted man that had already rejected Shinji.

Asuka watched Shinji worriedly, wondering how she should deal with the situation of Gendo. She suddenly wished he would die, for all the trouble he had caused, she wished he would just go to hell, and burn there.

After a near 9 hours in their evas, they were finally let out to go home. The smell of LCL was stronger then usual in their hair.

When Asuka and Shinji met outside, they immediately stepped into a passionate kiss, which was broken by a none-to-happy Misato. She still was uncomfortable when they kissed in front of her, she wasn't used to it. The couple stepped into the backseat of the car still holding hands.

That's all for today, I have to get ch. 4 posted soon cuz I already got it written. There's just a few changes I have to make.

Ja!
