"Ran, what are you thinking?" they were getting ready for bed, and Aki came out of the

bathroom after brushing her teeth. Ran was sitting up in the bed, wearing only his orange boxers.

He looked up at his love wearing her black tank top and sleep pants. She came and sat across

from him on the bed. She stared at him, her magenta eyes glistening. "Ran, do you want this

baby?" she stared at him intensely.

"Well, I mean, there's no choice, right?" He stammered. Aki grasped his hands in hers and

looked hurt.

"But, do you want it?" when he looked down and didn't answer, Aki's eyes began to water and

she wiped at them with the back of her hand. "You don't, don't you? You regret everything, cuz

now you're stuck with an annoying girl and soon, her annoying kid." She buried her face in her

hands and cried. Ran tried pulling her towards him and putting his arms around her, but she

pulled away. She got off the bed and ran into the living room. Shit! I made her cry. I'm an

asshole. I really do want this baby! I could never think of a more perfect mother. Ran got off

the bed and bolted after Aki. He found her lying on the couch in a ball. She looked up as he

walked over and sat near her curled up form. He reached over and pulled her up by her shoulders

and cradled her in his arms awhile. When she stopped breathing heavily, from the crying, Ran

pulled her up and looked at her. His lavendar eyes peirced her tear-ridden ones with such love, it

startled the young girl.

"Aki, you're not annoying. I love you, and I love this baby. I want to be a good father, as I know

you'll be a good mother. I can't wait."

"Oh, Ran... I still can't believe it, though. I'm pregnant." she kissed him deeply, and Ran was

overpowered. She pulled away and looked at him. "We don't know what it is yet, but the doctor

said I could find out in maybe, six months. I hope it's a girl, what about you?"

"I don't care, as long as it looks like you." Aki smiled at him.

"I'd rather it have your hair, mine looks like crap, literally." They both laughed, but Ran stopped

first.

"I think your hair is beautiful." He reached up and stroked her cheek. "C'mon, let's go to the

bedroom." He stood up and slid his arms around her shoulders and the back of her knees to pick

her up. "Jeez, do you weigh one hundred pounds?" they laughed and Ran got them to the bed. He

threw Aki onto it, and jumped over her to get to the other side, but he over-jumped and landed on

the floor. Aki burst out laughing and helped him up.

"Ow, that's not funny." He said, rubbing his butt.

"I'm sorry, shall mommy kiss it for you?"

"Oh, but of course." Ran laughed and pulled her to him. They started to kiss, and Aki pulled him

closer.
