Kalia awoke in the morning with Atrus already gone. She slowly got out of bed, half rolling out the side. With her baby so close to being born it was getting more and more difficult to do things on her own. She wished so much for Atrus to help her out, to be a good father by being good to his child's mother, but she knew that wasn't going to happen. She waddled her way to the stairs and, holding the railing tightly, struggled down. She scanned the kitchen and living room. There was no sign of Atrus and no note. It wasn't like he ever left a note but every day she had the glimmer of hope that he might inform her of his location. After getting herself a bowl of cereal she sat down on the couch to watch her regular television shows.

She was soon interrupted by knocking on her door followed by Anna's voice appearing out of nowhere.

"Kali, you home?" she called as she opened the door

"In here Anna." replied Kalia without moving off the couch. Anna followed the sound into the living area and sat next to her best friend.

"Not long now, eh?" asked Anna.

"Mm, only six weeks." answered Kalia cheerfully, smiling at the thought of her baby being born in only six short weeks. She was beginning to get very excited, but also skeptical thinking about Atrus' fathering skills. She said nothing to Anna, not wanting her friend to know the situation she was in. In everyone else's eyes Atrus was an excellent boyfriend. In fact, as Kalia soon learnt, the guys had gone out to get stuff for Kalia's baby. She had mentioned to Atrus that she was having a girl. At one point she had attempted to show him the ultra sound pictures, but he had knocked them away. They were on the fridge and she was sure he had looked at one point, although he'd never admit it.

"Get dressed, we're going out today." ordered Anna, getting right to the point.

"Wha, where?" wondered Kalia.

"We're gonna go get some baby clothes for you. Six weeks is a short period of time and we gotta shop while you can still walk."

"Alright… But what about Atrus and Yoh?"

"They're out getting a crib, stroller, and car seat."

"Okay, you win." replied Kalia and she reluctantly got up, waddled her way upstairs and got dressed in the cutest outfit she could fit into. It was a pink tank top where the stomach area was large to fit her pregnant belly and a baggy pair of shorts that belonged to Atrus. She figured they looked pretty good on her, and hopefully Atrus wouldn't mind. She really liked wearing his clothes. Soon she was ready to go and she made her way back down the stairs, again clutching to the railing. The two left the house and soon found themselves in a baby shop looking at pink dresses and sleepers for the coming baby. After a long day she managed to arrive home with a couple bags full of clothing, most of which featured Hello Kitty. She dropped them in the doorway and collapsed onto the couch, exhausted from the day's walking.

Anna picked up her children from Yoh's grandparent's house, where they had been for the day. It made her happy that her children could be with their great-grandparents, at least for a little, especially since they were such a big part of her life. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't be with Yoh, and wouldn't have two wonderful children. As she was walking home pushing a double stroller she wondered to herself what it would have been like if her third child had survived. It almost brought her to tears thinking about her son, but she knew he in a better place then where she was. The death of him was devastating and she knew how much she'd hate it if someone else close to her were to loose their life. She was thankful everyone she knew was still healthy.

When Anna walked into the door Yoh was already in the kitchen cooking them dinner. She smiled as she walked in, struggling to carry two children at once, both in baby seats. Yoh quickly came in and removed one from her hands, holding it up so he could see. This one happened to be Sakura, his beautiful cherry blossom daughter. Her eyes were closed and she looked so peaceful as she slept. He carefully took her upstairs and Anna followed. They gently put both children in their cribs. Yoh went back to cooking dinner but Anna stood there and stared. She smiled as she watched her two children sleeping soundly and thanked the world for them.

Atrus opened the door to find Kalia sleeping on the couch. He slammed it behind him, startling her and causing her to almost fall off.

"I'm hungry." he stated, taking off his shoes at the entrance.

"Bu-but…" argued Kalia as Atrus glared at her. She pleaded back with her own eyes.

"Fine, we'll order out tonight. Go upstairs and sleep, I'll call you when it gets here." Kalia smiled at his words and waddled over to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek, which he ignored. She then made her way upstairs and went right to bed. Atrus ordered pizza, and soon it arrived. He slid it on the counter and opened it up. He noticed the pieces weren't cut all the way through, so he went to get a knife. He picked it up and he was walking he tripped on a mat placed in front of the sink. The knife slid and sliced his finger, causing blood to gush out.

"AH FUCK!" he screamed and Kalia jumped awake.

"What happened baby?" she called out to him as she was getting up.

"Cut my fucking finger on your mother fucking mat you stupid whore!" he screamed in pain. Kalia ran as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast. She reached the stairs and didn't even bother with the railing. In her rush she tripped on the stairs and came tumbling down, banging her head into the wall on the bottom. Hearing the thump Atrus darted over to find Kalia on the floor, barely conscience. He knelt down next to her and stroked your hair.

"Kal, Kal are you alright?" he whispered. She looked at him, her eyes half open.

"I love you…" she replied in a weak voice. Atrus looked shocked.

"No, you can't…"

"T-take care of…" she cut off and worked to catch her breath.

"Shh" he continued to stroke her hair softly. "I love you too." he leaned over and kissed her forehead. "So much. I'll take care of her." he struggled to say the rest, not wanting to believe what was happening. Kalia let out a happy sigh and closed her eyes. Atrus, not knowing what to do, rushed to the phone and called an ambulance. Soon the paramedics arrived and told Atrus the news about his girlfriend. Again he went to the phone, but this time dialled Anna's number. She picked up the phone.

"Anna…" he whispered, his voice sounding raspy.

"Atrus?" she questioned, somewhat recognizing his voice.

"Kalia's…" he began, but stopped to hold back tears.

"What? What's wrong?" she demanded, now worried. Atrus no longer caring about crying.

"Anna, Kalia's dead."
