Hey guys, I really like writing this story cause I know how much you guys are enjoying it. Thanks for the reviews. It's getting interesting and that's also why I'm enjoying it. I dyed my hair so now it's mahogany brown I don't know if I told you but yeh. We're painting the bathroom and toilet so I don't know how we going to go use the toilet if we're busting. I got Scribe the Crusader CD finally and now I have a fifty dollar CD voucher to use. I got my Graphics Calculator and I still have to projects to do, which I keep reminding myself I'll do.

"Two and half months Mirage and it's too early to see the gender," the doctor smiled down at her after looking at the screen, "congratulations, another addition to the family."
Mirage looked at the screen and looked at the ultrasound of her child, it was small with no way of telling if it was a girl or boy. She was excited and she knew that she was already in love with the growing baby inside. She felt tingly all over as she stared at the baby fondly, though she didn't now if had to do with the weird jelly on her growing belly or if it was the baby or her emotions, which felt the same as she was younger when she was in love with Kai. "So you say the baby will probably be born around mid November?" Lucy asked their family doctor.
"Around mid November yes, a Spring child," the blonde woman said friendly, "I hope you tell him soon Mirage, stress can cause premature labour," she turned the monitor off and handed Lucy the ultrasound, "I want to see you at least once a month and don't slack off, eat healthy foods and drink lots of milk. Hope things go well," they hugged and Mirage got up and grabbed her clothes to get changed. Right now she had to go to work.
"Seven months and the baby will be born, call your brother when you finish work okay," Lucy leaned over and pecked her daughter on the cheek, "be careful," she leaned back and watched her daughter walk into the building carrying a briefcase.
"You're late Oliveri," Sam sneered looking her over, "wonder why."
"My business, not yours, stay out of it," Mirage said sitting in her cubicle office and turning her computer on. She leaned back and waited for her computer to start up. 'Wow, seven months and she's or he's born and then I'll be a mother…by myself,' she mused not sure how to feel, 'I wonder if I can pull it off with my salary, everyone must think I'm some slut,' she crinkled her nose unhappily.
"What are you hiding?" Sam leaned on her cubicle wall looking down at her with a disgusted face, of course her face always looked like that.
"What makes you think I'm hiding something, if you're thinking about how I came in late doesn't it occur to you that I come in late everyday," she replied looking at her through her long eyelashes, "and shouldn't you be getting to work, I'm your boss over this project and I need you to book a time in with the director of the commercial," she added leaning forward and typing in her password quickly so no one would know.
"Want a secretary get a higher job," Sam snapped.
"I fine where I am thanks," Mirage smiled brightly and watched the girl leave, 'now I wonder what names I'm going to name it,' she thought getting on the Internet.

Kai sat at his desk staring at the ceiling just thinking. Bright light was streaming in through the wall length windows some being reflected off vases and photo frames. Working at Hiwatari Corp was boring and an uninteresting business, most of the time Dash, Tala and Maria would come in and work with him, but only if they weren't busy. His office was large, it had blue grey walls and black cabinets that held photos of him and his friends and other little things that Maria had brought over, a black leather couch was beside the door and a glass coffee table which was hidden beneath a pile of car magazines. That was where the others did their work and also was the place where they ate lunch.
"Kai you in there?" someone knocked on the door and then Tala walked straight into the room without waiting for a reply, "good you're here, need to tell you something," he pulled the chair forward that was beside the door and Kai growled.
"One: why knock if you're going to enter anyway and Two: why don't you just take a seat on the chairs in front of my desk," Kai motioned to the black leather chairs.
"This ones more comfortable," Tala replied easily leaning back and smirking at him.
"What now?" the blue haired man groaned closing his eyes and rubbing them, "good news or bad news?" he asked looking at him from under his hands.
"Why is it so bright in here?" Maria moaned blinking from the doorway, "oh damn, you beat me," she grumbled dejectedly taking a seat next to her twin.
"With you here surely Dash is going to-"
"You two cheated!" Dash exclaimed breathing heavily, "that's not fair I was in the café buying us coffee," he huffed sitting beside Maria, "you tell him?" he asked looking at the two.
"Not yet."
"What happened to the coffee?" Tala asked indignantly staring at the blonde and blue haired man.
"Dropped it when I heard," Dash replied smiling and getting comfortable, "so who's going to tell."
"Heard what?" Kai asked in annoyance staring at each of them in turn, "you better tell me or I will fire you," he threatened.
"You can't exactly fire me cuz," Dash pointed out.
"Me neither," Tala and Maria said at the same time, "stop it!" they said yet again at the same time, "no you stop it!"
"Shut up," Kai mumbled glaring at them, "now being my cousin you had something to tell me."
"We won the Chin's company, it is now a part of Hiwatari Corps," he said happily, "we've been after that company since Russia."
Kai leaned back tiredly, he thought it was something important about something else. As the three companions talked excitedly his mind wandered off to a certain black haired girl, about that one night two months ago. About how they confessed their love for each other, than one thing went to another and then that happened. Soon afterwards Mirage had stayed clear of him and he wondered what was wrong, he'd have to visit her soon.

Clyde sat in class with his twin sister beside him they were in Food Technology one of his favourite classes. He wanted to grow up and be a five star chef, his classes with his mum and Keith made him realize how much he loved working with food, when he was a kid he always made things out of his dinner plate, once he made a mash potato house…then came Shawn who wrecked it. But today's lesson was only theory about hygiene and other such stuff, he couldn't wait to get out of class and play soccer though.
"Clyde. Clyde," Bonnie sighed and pinched her brother on the shoulder, "the bell went Clyde time to leave class," she said staring at him annoyed.
"What?" Clyde stared at her dazedly blinking his hazel eyes, "you say something?" he asked stupidly.
"Real intelligent," Bonnie snapped walking out of the classroom, "brothers what a bother," she mumbled walking to her locker. When she reached her locker she found the man of her dreams waiting for her, "um…hey," she greeted blushing slightly.
The boy was a year older than her meaning he was fifteen, he had silvery blonde hair that was cut short and always looked like he never brushed it, his purple eyes were bright and his cheeks were pink. "Hey Bonnie um…if you weren't busy this Saturday would you-"
"No she wouldn't," interrupted Clyde glaring at the silver haired boy.
"Hello Clyde, what makes you think you have a decision over what your sister does or says?" Gareth looked at him his purple eyes flashing dangerously.
Bonnie glared at her brother still holding her schoolbooks, "yeah Clyde?" she asked.
"You're not afraid of him," Shawn whispered from behind, "you can face him." Clyde bit his lip as he stared at Gareth, he didn't want to get beaten up and yet he didn't want his twin to go out with him.
"Do what you want?" Clyde mumbled turning away and walking outside of school. Bonnie watched him worried, after all he was just looking out for her but she could look after herself.
"Sure, this Saturday," Bonnie said smiling and turning towards the hottie, "I'll meet you at the movies." She opened her locker as he walked away and somehow felt guilty for doing something her brother didn't want her to do.

Mirage glanced at the clock on her table and found she had another hour till she could go home and sleep. She was also craving some licorice or pomegranate and watermelon, she had finished her work of course leaving her that one-hour of doing nothing…or that was how she had planned it. "A Miss Oliveri? I'm looking for a Miss. Mirage Oliveri?" a red haired boy looked around the large office area carrying a clipboard, "I have a delivery for a Miss-"
"I'm over here Daichi you idiot!" Mirage exclaimed sitting back up and glaring at her mail boy, "give me my delivery and go back to school," she told him looking into his green eyes.
"School finishes early today Mai a fire drill for a bomb threat," Daichi rubbed his nose and peered into the cubicle, "heard from a very good source-"
"Which happens to be my sister?"
"That your, mphh" Daichi mumbled into her hand, "no one knows and where's my delivery?" she asked looking around alarmed. Daichi pointed to a bouquet of roses that was being taken down by another boy, "what? Who are they from?" she asked him surprised.
"A Kai something or other," the boy replied handing them to her, she read the little card ignoring the other boy,
'White roses are you're favourite from what I remember, red ones were to clichéd for you so I hope you like these. I haven't seen you in two months and I'd wish if you were to accompany me tonight on a first date. I'll pick you up at seven. Love Phoenix."
She smiled at the card and sniffed the flowers, 'my favourite,' she thought putting them on the desk, "thanks." She dug into her pocket and tipped them each three dollars, "would've gave you sweet guys more but I left my money at home," she smiled at them and reached up and ruffled Daichi's already messy red hair, "now off with you."
"Are my eyes hallucinating or did you just get a bunch or roses?" a blonde haired woman leaned over her wall and reached for the card, after reading it she asked, "who's Phoenix?" she asked moving her eyebrows.
"You needn't know," Mirage replied sniffing the roses again, "he's my friend," she said softly frowning, 'who's child I'm carrying.' She clapped a hand over her mouth and ran towards the bathroom. She was never going to get used to the art of throwing up.

Hey sorry this took so long but I was at my friends yesterday and just now I got MSN. If you want to contact me go ahead and look at my profile. Got to go because I've got to copy Lost, cya.
There was a man who lived in Leeds,
He had a garden full of seeds.
And when the seeds began to grow,
It was like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow began to melt,
It was like a boat without a belt.
And when the bout began to sail,
It was like a bird without a tail.
And when the bird began to fly,
It was like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky began to roar,
It was like a lion at my door.
And when my door began to crack,
It was like a penknife in my back.
And when my back began to bleed,
I was dead, dead, dead indeed.
