Life's Little Love Lessons
*Chapter Three*
Expressing feelings, expecting, and unexpected events
*
A year had passed. Twenty-four-year-old Miyako Ichijouji walked into the living room of her apartment and found her husband, Ken, in the kitchen. She kissed him on the cheek and poured herself some orange juice. She drank it up quickly then poured herself some more. She drank that up too then headed into the living room and flopped on the couch.
"Miyako dear, are you all right?" Ken called.
"I guess," she called back.
Ken walked out with a mug of coffee and sat beside her. "What do you mean, you guess?"
"I'm okay, but... it's nothing, don't worry."
"Are you sure? Do you feel all right?"
Miyako looked at him for a moment, then ran off, a hand over her mouth. She came back a few minutes later, holding her stomach. She sat beside Ken and leaned on him as he wrapped his arm around her.
"Miyako, you could be sick. It's the fourth time this month. You should go see a doctor," Ken suggested.
"You're right," Miyako said.
~*!*~*!*~*!*~
Miyako sat on the bench in the doctor's office, waiting for her to return. The doctor was getting the results from some tests she took. Dr. Ryder came back in.
"What is it?" Miyako asked.
"You're pregnant," Dr. Ryder said.
Miyako's jaw dropped.
~*!*~*!*~*!*~
"You are?!" Hikari said on the phone. "Well, that's awesome!"
"How am I supposed to tell Ken?"
"You should call Sora. She should know. But you don't need to worry. Ken should take it well."
"Thanks Hikari."
"No problem."
"Now, on to you and Takeru."
"Haven't you heard? He met a girl named Elizabeth when he went to a writer's convention in England."
"Hikari, you're letting him slip away from you! If you want him, go get him."
"I've already told you, Miyako. It would put our friendship in jeapoardy."
"It never hurts, and I think he likes you two."
"Is that supposed to be some sort of joke?"
"No, I'm not kidding."
Ken walked into the room. "Miyako, I couldn't help but overhear what you just said about Takeru and Hikari. You should let love take it's own course," Ken said.
"So you're agreeing with her?"
"What? No!"
"I thought you loved me," Miyako said, tears in her eyes.
"I do, but -"
"You don't love me anymore?"
"Of course I love you," Ken said.
Miyako dropped the cordless and ran into Ken's arms. Unheard by the others, Hikari was laughing her head off on the phone. Ken calmed Miyako down and she kicked him out of the bedroom, telling him to stop listening in on her, saying she can't get any privacy. She picked up the phone.
"Hikari, are you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here, Miyako."
"So, about you and Takeru..."
"There is no me and Takeru. It's Takeru and Elizabeth!" Hikari said, her jaws clenched. Her anger brought forth a new side of Hikari. "That little moron! If he liked me then he would have asked me out already! But No! He's going out with one of those English girls and forgot all about little old me, waiting for him to ask me on a date ever since high school!"
"Hikari, I didn't know you felt like that," Miyako said.
"I don't want to talk about him anymore. Well, let's move on."
"So... how's life?"
~*!*~*!*~*!*~
Hikari needed to get her mind off Takeru. Ever since Hikari's sudden outburst of emotion over the phone, she had been thinking about him. She hopped in her car and drove to the grocery store. She was looking at the items on the isle, not watching where she was going, and ran into a man looking at a shopping list.
"Oh, sorry," she said, then looked up.
"Hikari!" Takeru said.
"Hi," Hikari said. "So, how's it been going?"
"I guess it's fine."
"How are you and Elizabeth?"
"Uh, we're not together anymore."
"I'm sorry."
"She lived so far away, and I wasn't moving to England, and long distant relationships don't really work..."
"Oh, well, you'll find your match someday." 'She's right under your nose!'
"Say, Hikari, do you have any plans tonight?"
"No," Hikari answered.
"Well, want to go have dinner with me or something?"
"Sure."
"I'll pick you up around eight?"
"Okay."
"See you then, Light." Takeru turned around and walked away. Hikari's heart melted. She was going on a date! With Takeru!
~*!*~*!*~*!*~
Miyako walked over to Ken, and sat on his lap as he put his arms around her waist.
"Ken, I have something to tell you," Miyako said.
"What is it, dear?"
"I'm p... I'm pregnant."
"I"m going to be a daddy?!"
Miyako smiled at her husband's happy expression. "We're going to be one big happy family."
~*!*~*!*~*!*~
Takeru went to the jewelry store and bought a nice ring. He slipped it in his pocket, hopped in his car, and drove to Hikari's apartment. She was already downstairs, waiting. She hopped into the car and Takeru drove to the restaurant. They were led to their seats and ordered. After the food was delivered, they started to eat, but Hikari just moved her fork around.
"What's wrong, Hikari? Do you not like the food?" Takeru asked.
"Takeru, I have a confession to make," Hikari said. She was going to tell him.
"What is it, Light?"
"Well, you know we've been friends for a long time right? Well, I liked you, and although I dated other guys, I always wanted you to come and ask me out. But you never did. And I've never felt complete without you. Takeru Takaishi, I love you. I just wanted to let you know."
'That was some of the cheesiest crap I've ever said,' she thought.
"I didn't know you felt that way. I never knew you liked me, but I've had a crush on you since Dai gave up. I just thought you never liked me back. Well..." Takeru pulled the case out of his pocket, opened it, and laid it on the table facing Hikari. "I love you, too, Hikari Kamiya."
Hikari was speechless, staring at the ring. "Takeru," she whispered.
Takeru picked up the ring, kneeled in front of her getting the restaurant's attention, and looked up into Hikari's brown eyes. "Hikari Kamiya, will you do the honor of becoming my wife?"
Hikari nodded, speechless, for a moment, until she finally spat out, "Yes, yes, I will."
