Tohru…

Tohru rubbed her eyes as she woke up to find Tomiko in her bed and gently nudged her, "Come on Tomiko-chan wake up, you have to go to school."

She rubbed her eyes and nodded as she stood up and scuttled out of the room quickly. Tohru sighed as she felt a kick from her stomach, "You hungry too? Okay then…"

Walking out of the room she walked straight into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. While she was doing that Tomiko came back down yawning and Tohru smiled, "You think you're ready to go back to school?"

"Hai, Tohru-san, I feel I'm well enough, plus mom and dad wouldn't want me to stay home from school anymore than necessary," Tomiko informed her, while she sat down at the table.

Tohru nodded, "I never thought to ask you this, but how old are you?"

"I'm nine, is that okay Tohru-san?" she asked worriedly.

"No it's okay Tomiko-chan; it's just that I want to know. I'm practically you're adopted mother and I have to know about certain things, you'll tell me right?"

"Of course I will, I promise!" Tomiko answered energetically.

"Good now that that's settled ikidakimasu!" she answered as she handed her some rice and miso.

Tomiko smiled as they sat their and ate, "You know Tohru-san; you want to find out about me, as I want to find out about you."

Tohru blinked and smiled, "Okay, what do you want to know?"

"Why did you move here if you are having a baby, wouldn't the father…?"

Tohru frowned slightly, remembering Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and everyone else. "The father…? Well we made an agreement to never talk about what had happened and I respected his wishes, yet I became pregnant and moved out here. No one knows I'm out here."

"Wouldn't they be worried about you?"

Tohru shook her head, "I left a note telling them I was leaving and that I'll be fine. Hopefully they aren't looking…"

Tomiko gave her a smile, "I'm glad you came when you did Tohru-san, because I'll have a family again, maybe not with a father, but a sibling and a mother right?"

Tohru gave her a smile and hugged her close, "Yes, that's right Tomiko-chan, you'll have a family again, maybe not with a father but someone who will try to make up for that."

"Thank you so much T-mom."

That made Tohru smile even bigger, "You're welcome Tomiko-chan, daughter."

Sohma's…

Yuki entered Shigure's house but he looked even worse as he mumbled something incoherent and made his way to his room and looked at the wall as he went to make more marks when a hand stopped him, "Quit marking up the wall please, and count months from now on okay?" Shigure.

Yuki got his hand out of his grasp and nodded an okay before Shigure patted him on the back and walked out. Yuki on the other hand had an asthma attack and soon called out for Shigure as his eyes turned black and he shrank into a rat form. Shigure came back inside and shook his head, "Yuki-kun, look what you're doing to yourself, you have to get better."

Yuki was quiet and Shigure went and called up Hattori and held Yuki's rat form as Kyo scoffed when he came back inside, "Look I've moved on it's about time he did too!"

Shigure shook his head, "You didn't have the same problem did you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Never mind, I believe I have spoken too much already."

Kyo shook his head and ran out of the room quickly as Hattori entered, "He definitely is in a bad condition and he's got to try to get better. Just put him in bed and he should be fine, I'm staying here tonight okay?"

"Hai, choose a room." Shigure answered as he ran back up to Yuki's room and placed him in his bed when he heard Yuki whisper, "Tohru-san, come back, I promise, we could…"

He shook his head and left the room to go talk to Hatori.
