Rain, and The Tears Go Away Come Another Day
Kudou Residence 4 a.m.
plop. plop. plop.
Rain continuously beat against the window in a smooth rhythmic motion on the wet and cold mid-October night while the young future expecting couple quietly slept inside the Kudou Residency. It has been ten months since the young couple were united in marriage and 5 moths of the young couples pregnancy. Old, dear friends were separated from their trace of communication since their marriage with their own personal matters and soon not knowing would they happen to be reunited more expectant than thought of.
riiiiiiiiing. riiiiiiiiiiiing. riiiiiing
A young man of age of 20 with deep brown hair and sharp blue eyes woke with a startle from the sharp cry from the vibrating phone that buzzed throughout the quiet house. The young man quickly glanced at the young woman with flowing long chocolate brown hair that silently continued to sleep, a blanket hugging her body as it rose up and down slowly as she quietly breathed. The young man smiled in relief that the sharp cries from the phone had not alarmed her as it did to him and then quickly picked up the vibrating phone to silence the loud ringing and answered in a sleepy tone of voice
" Kudou Residence, Kudou Sh--"
" R..RAAAN!"
The young man quickly pulled the phone away from his ear from being shocked from the high pitched shriek that yelled out into his ear
" OI OI! Just Who do you think you are! You are going to wake up my wi---"
The young man then came to a stop of words when he glanced over at the young woman who looked at him with her eyebrows raised and her eyes half drooped from sleep
" Shinichi...?"
The young man inhaled a deep breathe refraining from not yelling at whoever it was at the phone for waking himself and the young woman up and then let it out through his nose as he smiled sheepishly at the young woman
" I think it's for you..."
The young woman blinked as she took the phone out of the young man's hand and moved a lock of her hair pressing the phone against her ear
" Moshi Moshi Kudou Ran speaking..."
" RAN! OH MY GAWD RAN!"
The young woman's eyes immediately snapped open from the sobbing cry that called out to her in a panicked tone of voice from the other line of the phone and from then on knew directly who the caller was
" Sonoko?..."
" R..Ran..oh gawd please help me, please help me Ran, I don't know what to do!"
Ran quickly sat up in the bed staring down at her blanket as her eyes were wide awake and open, her heart beating against her chest as a rush of worry came against her making the young man gaze at her in a confused manner curious of what was going on at this time of day
" Sonoko! What happened?"
" Ran! I...I'm so glad I got a hold of you..M..Makato's gone and I didn't know who to turn too and I..I'm so scared!"
" Sonoko, tell me, oh please tell me what is going on! Are you okay! Did something bad happen!"
There was a pause of silence on the other end of the line on the phone causing fear in Ran as she spoke even louder
" SONOKO?"
" Ran...I think I'm pregnant..."
Shinichi stared widely at Ran who sat silently with her hand against her chest with her eyes wide with shock
" R..Ra--"
" Sonoko...do not scare me like that ever again...I thought you were about to get killed!"
The young woman on the other end began to sob again as she choked out on her words
" I..I'm sorry Ran, I didn't mean to make you worry but I didn't know how to react to this and I am so scared, Makato's gone and I..I don't know what to do.."
Then the young woman broke down sobbing
" Oh Sonoko..."
Ran then leaned against the backboard of the bed and inhaled a deep breathe and slowly let it out, opening her eyes into a soft look and she calmly spoke out
" Don't cry Sonoko...your best friend is here...it's going to turn it out fine, I promise. Just take a deep breathe and listen to me okay?"
The young woman on the other line slowly began to control her sobbing as she let out a shaky breathe
" O..Okay..."
" You remind me of how I reacted when I first found out when I was pregnant you know that?..."
The young woman on the other line opened her eyes in surprise blinking
" What..?"
Ran closed her eyes and let out a small laugh as she smiled softly
" Yup, just like how I reacted when I found out! It's just I didn't call my friend at 4 am in the morning screaming at her unexpectantly, half scaring her to death."
The young woman on the other line let out a nervous laugh making Ran feel a wave of relief that the young woman on the phone was beginning to be calm
" Good, your laughing, now I know you are going to be fine! Whatever happened to the Sonoko I knew that teased me so much? I bet you couldn't take a crack at it now could you?"
Ran felt a wicked smile appear on her lips when she knew the young woman knew she was right and the young woman narrowed her eyes through her tears from the other line in annoyance
" Well, duh...it wouldn't work you and Kudou are already married now and expecting a mini Kudou..."
Ran then chuckled and then got back to their main problem
" It's been so long since I have spoken to you Sonoko-Chan.."
" It has been Ran-Chan..."
" So... where just is Makato's-kun anyway?..."
The young woman on the other line let out a sigh before sadly speaking out
" He is on a world wide Karate tournament competing to be the champion ...he has been gone for a four weeks now and I get phone calls every now and then but then just a couple days ago I have been waking up and been feeling sick.. so then I thought I would take a test...and I did this morning and it..came out postive,..and now I don't know what to do and..."
The tears began to start again..
" I am so scared!"
" Hey..hey..don't cry Sonoko-chan..it's okay! It's fine, it's okay to be scared, I was too...but there is also some good in it! Your going to have a baby! And I couldn't be happier for you! My child is going to have a play mate ne?"
Ran began to chuckle as the young woman then began to burst into a fit of giggles
" P..play mate Ran-chan?..."
" Yes!"
Sonoko began to giggle even more at the thought , feeling the fear and worry slowly draining away with what filled was joy
" M..Maybe ..I will have a little girl and you will have a little girl and they could grow up to be best friends like us ne?"
Ran's eyes had a soft glow to them as she continued to stare down at her blanket as a small smile tugged at her lips
" Yeah.."
" But Ran-chan..."
" Yes?"
" How am I going to tell Makato?...H..How is he going to react to this?"
" Sonoko-Chan...he is going to be ecstatic! You shouldn't worry about that! He is going to be so happy when he hears the news, I promise!"
"...yeah..your right.."
" Of course I am!"
" Ran-chan?"
" mhhm?"
" W..will you come see me sometime later on today when it is daylight?..."
Ran fell silent for a moment and smiled widely when she spoke out sweetly
" sure.."
"Thank you Ran-chan..for everything..see you then."
" okay,bye.."

Ran continued to lean against her backboard of the bed smiling as Shinichi stared at her with an utterly confused look of what was going on
" What...was that all about?..."
Ran took a deep breathe and smiled even more towards Shinichi making him blink at her with an even more confused face before she quickly leaned over and softly pressed her lips against his and quickly pulled away going back under the covers muffling out a goodnight leaving the young man with an even more confused look also now with a glow of red that spreaded onto his face
"...w...what was that all about?..."
to be continued...
( giggles madly) that was fun to write! But there is a part two which is going to be hopefully quite sad; which is Shinichi and Ran's first big fight as a couple (grins madly)
