Weeks turned into months and Elie's stomach grew bigger and bigger,and so did all the lies Elie was telling the gang in fear of them finding out she was pregnant . By four months,
Haru couldn't take it anymore. One night, Haru dragged Elie out into the woods and and popped the question that had been on his mind sice day one.
"Elie, whats wrong with you?" Haru asked.
"Nothing, what are you talking about, I'm fine." Elie replied. Haru snapped.
"Dammit Elie, no you're not! You haven't eatin in four months, you sleep constantly, and to top it off, your stomach keeps getting bigger! Now what the hell is wrong with you!"
"Nothing, I've just been putting on a little weight." Elie lied.
"Putting on a little weight! Putting on a little weight! Elie, how the hell can you be putting on "a little" weight if you don't eat!" Haru screamed.
Elie turned away so Haru couldn't see the tears streaming down her cheecks. She felt a warm hand touch her sholder, Elie stared at Haru and hugged him. She began to sob. Elie was getting Haru's shirt wet with all the tears, but he didn't care, Haru just knew somthing was wrong and he wanted to find out.
"Shh, it's ok, it's ok." Haru said soothingly trying to comfort her.
" Oh, Haru, I'm so sorry- I should have told you..." Elie sobbed, Haru pulled away from her.
"Tell me what? What's wrong with you Elie?" Haru asked now scared. Elie stared at him, her brown eyes filled to the brim with tears. She bagan to shake franticly as if she was made of jello. In her breath you could hear her chokeing on her own tears tryng not to cry anymore than she already had.
"Elie,"Haru began again."You know you can tell me anything, no matter how bad it is. If it's a secret I won't tell a soul you know that."
"Not even Plue?"Elie asked trying to not make this as hard on Haru as it was for herself.
"Not even Plue, or Griff or Musica, not anyone now and never." Haru could tell that Elie was about to tell him somthing teribble." What is wrong Elie what has happend to make you so upset for the four months we've been traveling?"
Elie took a long deep breath, let it out and took the dive. She swallowed and began, stuttering on almost every word. She breathed heavily."Haru, I- I- I'm- pr-pr- preg- pregnant.
There I said it, are you happy now? That's what I had been hideing for the last four months,
just please don't hate me for not saying anything sooner, I was afraid."
For a minute Haru just sat there, stunned from everything Elie had just said. After a while Haru began to smile. He to began to stutter."Tha- that's great Elie, why didn't you tell me earlier, I mean why were you afraid?"
"I- I don't know, I thought that you would be mad at me and not want me anymore. And besides, you were much too busy looking for the Rave Stones." Tears began to brim Elie's eyes again, yet vanished when Haru hugged her.
"Oh, Elie, how could you ever think that? I could never hate you, I love you, and this baby. This is no Sin, this baby is a blessing." Haru and Elie stayed embraced for what seemed like an eternity. Elie's secret was out, and she was still with Haru and he didn't care if she was pregnant. He was happy for her.
Elie pulled away from Haru.
"Haru?"
"Yes, Elie?"
"If you want you can Musica, Plue and Griff if you want."
"Only if you want to and you're there." Haru said.
"Yes, I will be, I think they deserve to know what has been happing in the past four months." And with that, Haru and Elie walked out of the woods to tell the others the great news.
