No Longer Existing

chapter four: Disturbance of a New Life

"I'm so glad everything is changing back to before." Akina smiled joyfully.

"Yeah, but you should go back home. You're only sixteen and you're living by yourself."

"No. I've been living by myself for a long time now. You know I can take care of myself."

"I believe you and all, but you have to get home. It's not safe when you live alone."

"I know you're concerned about my safety, but I can take care of myself."

Yami knew how happy Akina was. Sometimes, he would catch her, jumping for joy. But somehow, she grew weaker. Later that week, Akina was feeling a bit dizzy and fainted. By chance, Yami came and helped her into her apartment room. An hour had passed and she had finally awoke. Holding her head she asked, "What happened?"

"You suddenly fainted, and you're running a fever. Now lie back down and let me ask you some questions." the doctor said.

"Wait. How did I get here anyway?"

"That young fellow. What's his name? Yami Moto. Yes. He is the one. He called me to do a check up, and when I came, he left."

Wow Yami. You're so helpful. Somehow, I feel as though we were meant to be together. Akina thought happily.

"All right. I've noticed some of your cuts/scars and bruises are healing. It doesn't seem long ago that these were marked on your body. Am I correct?"

"Yes. But there's no need for reporting. My ex-boyfriend is getting help."

"Your ex-boyfriend? Then, Yami is considered to be your new one?"

"I guess. Yeah."

"Tell me, have you had sexual intercourse with one or both of them?" she pulled out a notepad and pen.

"Isn't that personal?" Akina said, suspiciously.

"Well, let me put it this way. Have you ever felt ill in the past two weeks?"

"Let me think." she tried to remember what had happened." "Yeah. I think I did a week ago and unexpectedly, I had the sudden urge to puke. But I didn't think it was a big problem, nor jumped to conclusions."

"You're joking right?" she wasn't so sure.

"Nope. Here. Check if you want." The doctor gave her a pregnancy test." All you have to do is urinate on it. If it's blue, it's positive, but if it's red, then it's negative. I'll be sure to give you daily check ups at least 3 to 4 times a month. If you're wondering why so much it's because you're young to be pregnant."

"Okay."

"But if you don't want to have one, you have another choice."

"You mean an abortion?"

"Yes. If you're willing to go through some circumstances."

"No. I'm going to keep this baby. Yami will feel so happy."

"What about your ex? He could be the father of this baby."

"No wonder why you were asking. How will I know who the father is?"

"You have to have the baby and will take some tests. I must be on my way now. Take care of that baby."

"Bye?"

Me, pregnant? It's so amazing. A new life is forming inside of me. But the point is, who's the father?

Akina got out of bed. She dressed into different clothes and left. She walked to Yami's to tell him about the good news. But as she got there, she only found Grandpa Moto. "Please come in. Yami will be here soon."

"Thanks Grandpa Moto."

They went to settle by the fire place in the other room. Grandpa Moto decided to make cappuccino. A couple of minutes later, he came back with two mugs full and placed it on the table. "So, what brings you here Akina?"

"Grandpa Moto. Would you get mad if Yami became a father?"

"A little disappointing, but I don't mind having a grandson or granddaughter. I'd be delighted. Why?"

"Well, I'm pregnant and ----------"

"Congratulations!" He said interrupting. "Even if you're both young, you'll both be great parents." he said jolliful.

"Wait Grandpa Moto. There's another part to this."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I don't know if Yami is the true father. There's Ryoki. I have to wait for the baby."

"I see." he said disappointingly.

"But, I have to tell Yami myself."

"GRANDPA!" a voice yelled.

"I'm in the other room with Akina." he answered.

Grandpa Moto got up and left to go upstairs. Yami walked in and noticed Akina was there. "I thought Grandpa was just joking when he said you were here. Why are you here? You're supposed to be resting at home."

"This is urgent Yami. I'm pregnant."

"W-what!"

"Yes I am. But I have a problem."

"Okay..."

"I don't know who the father is and I need to have the baby to find out. Are you willing to help support the baby?"

"Y-yeah. Of course I'd help. It wouldn't matter if I'm the father or Ryoki. I wouldn't let you or the baby be alone. Have you told Ryoki?"

"No. Not yet. I'm going to though."

"But this won't be enough. Me and Ryoki won't give a lot of support. We're still young. Maybe you should ask your mom."

"No way! My mom won't even care. I bet you she won't do it."

"Please Akina. You can't expect your mother to still be mad at you. It's been awhile."

"Okay, fine. But you're coming with me."

From that moment Akina told Ryoki that she was pregnant. He was astonished. He didn't mean for him to get her pregnant, even if she did it with Yami. Yami had thought they were going to Mrs. Turusami, though Akina decided they should go in a couple of months. Obviously it had been a couple of months and Akina was five months pregnant. She continued to get support from both Yami and Ryoki. Finally, she decided it was time to go to her mother. They walked there, knowing it didn't seem far. When she knocked on the door, a woman who looked about 37 with brown hair and a cigarette had answered. "Well well well, the skank finally showed up."

She blew smoke into her face. "Oh and you brought guests. Fine come in."

They sat down in the living room. Akina never imagined it. It looked different and weird.

"So what brings you here?"

"Cut the crap mom! You can see my stomach can't you? It's going to get big and I need more support."

She laughed. "Me? Help you? It's not my baby. It was your decision to have sex."

"Yeah, well I'm not the biggest slut! At least I can depend on myself and not on men for sex!" she yelled standing up. "I came here to ask for some help, but you don't give a bull!"

Her mom got up as well and walked over and gave her a slap. "Better watch your mouth young lady. I don't deserve to be disrespected by my own daughter!"

"Then learn to love your only daughter!" Akina was about to leave, but Ryoki grabbed her hand.

Though she pushed him away and left. Ryoki followed her, knowing that he could not leave her alone. Yami just sat there, staring at Mrs. Turusami. "What are you still doing here?" she asked furiously.

"Please Mrs. Turusami. All Akina wants is for you to love, respect and help her."

"I want her to suffer." she said raspily.

"She's suffered enough. First of all, she ran away for being unloved. Secondly, she was verbally, physically and sexually abused by her ex. And lastly, she doesn't know who the true father of the baby is. So if you don't give up everything of yours for your daughter, then she deserves a better parent. Think about it."

Yami got up and left. He then caught up with Ryoki and Akina. Back home, Mrs. Turusami thought about what Yami said. He was right. It was time to take a change and be more mature in the real world. No one should be left alone. Everyone should be loved and respected. Having a change in heart, would make a big difference in the world...
