Alone with nothing to do Kalia decided she'd go over to see Anna like she did almost every day. She figured Atrus wouldn't be home until late that night or the next morning perhaps as he often did when she did something wrong. She didn't mean to make him upset or to get pregnant, it just kind of happened. She got dressed and ready to go and proceeded out the door. Atrus had taken the car which meant she had to walk the 3 kilometers to Anna's house.

"Just my luck." she thought to herself as she walked down the empty driveway. Soon she was tired and decided to take a break so she sat herself on the curb. Her mind began to fill with thoughts about her baby and what she was going to do. Was Atrus going to be a good father? She knew in her heart that he loved her and but she also knew that he had a tendency to hit things that he was angry with. And he got angry and awful lot. She just hoped that everything would be okay and that he'd treat the baby properly and hopefully much better then her boyfriend treats her. She stood up, shook her head, and continued walking.

What are you thinking Kalia? You know that he isn't like that. You just did something wrong that made him mad at you but he's not going to be mad at your baby so there's nothing to worry about. He loves you and he'll love that baby as well. Don't think so badly of him. Lost in thought Kalia was unable to notice quite what she was doing and managed to walk into someone quite familiar.

"Oh sorry…" she said looking up. "Horo!" she screamed in realization of just who she bumped into and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm so glad to see you!"

"Hey Kal, how are you?" he asked and she knew she was going to have to tell him the news.

"Not so good…" she whispered.

"Oh? How come? What's wrong?"

"I-I'm…" Horo looked anxious as Kalia stalled. "I'm pregnant."

"That's great!" he studied the unbelieving look on her face. "Isn't it?"

"Well… What am I going to tell my brother and sister?"

"I'll tell Ren for you if you want…"

"And I don't know where my sister is so problem solved. "(Okay so I can't remember he name leemie alone.)

"How did Atrus take it? Good, no doubt?" wondered Horo so ignorant of what was really going on.

"Yea, he was happy…" replied Kalia slowly. "Thanks for telling Ren for me… Where are you heading?"

"Nowhere in particular, you?"

"To see Anna, want to come along? I wonder if Yoh is there."

"I think he went out with Ren."

"That means Atrus too. C'mon lets go." The two of them walked off all the way to Anna's house.

When they finally reached their destination Kalia was hot and exhausted. Anna was delighted to open the door to find two of her best friends there. Everyone else had long since moved out save her and Yoh and she got quite lonely when he was gone out. The three of them spent the day together and were there alone well into the night. Finally Yoh returned home accompanied by Ren and Atrus.

"There you are." stated Atrus when he saw Kalia. "I was worried when you weren't at home. Come on, lets go home baby." Kalia smiled and felt all warm and fuzzy at Atrus' words and she happily complied to his wishes. Ren said nothing to Horo but he followed him out just the same. Ren and Horo's life would proceed as normal that night but a couple others would not.

"I missed you today." whispered Anna to her husband.

"Aww I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have been gone all day but I've just been out with the guys, you know how it is sweetheart. Oh, did you know Kalia's pregnant?" he explained and Anna nodded slowly in reply.

"Good, our kids can play together, wont that be fun?"

"Yea, I guess so, and its nice having someone else going through what I am, although maybe not to the same extent."
"Uhhuh, we've got three little joys to worry about." he moved in close and rubbed her tummy gently.
"I'm tired, do you want to go to bed?" asked Anna and Yoh nodded. Then he took her hand and led her upstairs to bed.

Upon getting into the car Atrus' real side came out to Kalia.

"What the fuck are you doing going out like that? You should have been home." he screamed.

"I-I'm sorry…" murmured Kalia trying to hold back tears. Atrus then raised his fist near her stomach and glared into her eyes.

"No! The baby! Please…" tears were now rolling down the young girl's cheeks. Atrus unclenched his fist and slapped her across the face.

"You're a lucky bitch." he explained placing his hand on her stomach. "I can easily make little baby go bye-bye." Kalia cringed. "Don't worry I'm not going to." he said, rubbing her tummy lightly. "Besides, who's going to grow up to be just like me?" Kalia closed her eyes as Atrus rubbed her stomach trying to think of how nice it felt and how the baby was loving their daddy touching them.
