Chapter 7: (6 weeks)
Mamoru ran out the front door of the apartment, flicking on the lock on the door before running into the elevator. He slipped on his shoes inside, too stressed not listening to Minako's babbling. "Mamoru are you alright?" Minako asks. "Can you hear me?"
"Yeah… I'm sorry I just got in the car" he says as he puts the key in the ignition. "Where was the accident?" he asks her while turning the corner gently.
"About ten minutes from Ami's place. Ami's hysterical since she came from there and is undergoing operation on usagi now…I don't want to tell you something, but you'll see when you get there" and with that, she hung up. Mamoru groaned frustratedly. The rain started to dribble down from the sky, and Mamoru couldn't help but go along with it. He could lose usagi… the woman he loved…he turned the corner, thanking everything that her hospital was ten minutes away from the apartment.
When he arrived in the hospital parking, he parked the car and ran towards the door. He was greeted with silence, and the smell of a clean hospital when he walked in, along with the female receptionists. "I'm looking for Usagi Tsukino" He breathes. She looks at him in concern.
"If you're another one of her wavering friends then leave, please" The receptionist says. Mamoru groans before running his hands through his hair.
"I'm her Fiancé" he tries again.
"I'm sorry but you need to leave" the receptionist repeats. Then, on perfect timing, Ami walks out, wearing her scrubs before frowning at him gently.
"I'm so sorry Mamoru! It's all my fault. She came from my place and I should've drove her home just in case." Ami says nervously to Mamoru. Her eyes starting to tear up.
"How is she?" he breathes towards her in a breath, following her down the white hallways, trimmed with wood along the edges and the cool white lights lighting up the hallways. The aura around him was cold and sad, as if he could feel the emotions of others, but it was just of what they emitted though the panic and worry.
"Alright, I guess. Pretty banged up, but she'll be alright now… she should be physically anyway…I heard from Minako who was there when usagi saw the photo…you've been cheating on her?" Ami asks, a small amount of hatred in her voice.
"No. one of my colleagues who picked me up from the airport kissed me… I didn't know what to do after that… told her not to come near me or even talk to me unless it was something highly important" He says as they arrive to a stop in front of all the girls. Mamoru swallowed, seeing them all staring at him in a way he wasn't used to.
"It's Alright… Mamoru-san Explained it to me" Ami says, and they all suddenly look at her instead. "Mamoru-san was forced into a situation he didn't know what to do in. I believe him, as I know he isn't the guy to do what any of you think he would do". She finishes.
"One of my female colleagues kissed me the day I went back. I didn't know what to do in that type of situation when I don't know… but I told her not to talk to me or even come near me unless she had a bloody good reason" Mamoru explains carefully. They stare at him but the gaze from each of them soften except Minako's. He knew she didn't believe him, and he guessed he deserved that.
"Why didn't you tell Usagi that before? Why wait a month to tell her?" Minako asks.
"I Didn't know how to handle it Minako. You need to remember that I've never been in a relationship before, I don't know how to handle these things" Mamoru says. Usagi's parents walk out of Usagi's hospital room, which immediately her father throws him a death glare.
"You cheated on my Daughter?" He asks. Mamoru swallows but Minako steps in for some reason.
"He was just explaining it Kenji-san" Minako starts. "While he was over in America a colleague kissed him. He immediately left and returned to his dorm. He told her not to talk to him or come near him unless it was important. He didn't know what to do Kenji. He came from an orphanage; he doesn't have parents that can guide his every move" Minako says. Kenji's gaze softens, and Mamoru turns his head to Ikuko; who smiles at him.
"It's alright Kenji. I believe that would happen, especially his situation and everything. Come on now…lets leave Usagi and Mamoru to sort it out." Ikuko says, tugging Kenji in her general direction. "Mamoru-san. I hope you and Usagi work it out… I would really like to see you two happy together and in our family" She says. Mamoru blushes and nods in respect.
He proceeds to the door and shakes his head. "I can't do it…She'll end up yelling or crying or something and I think it's better with you explaining first" He says turning to Minako, who nods. Minako steps in carefully, greeting usagi with care. Mamoru sits on the chair gently, waiting for Minako to return; his head resting in his hands.
Ten minutes, Minako comes out and nods to him, but as he walks towards the cool white of the door, he turns to Minako, expecting her to follow after him. The shake of her head indicates what Usagi wanted… She wanted him to explain without the input of anyone else. Mamoru took a big breath and stepped in the door and closed it behind him… then he turned around towards the bed.
Usagi sat in the white bed, bandages around her left hand, and right arm. Stitches along her face and her hair in a large bun on the top of her head. Mamoru flinched, never expecting anything to be this bad. Usagi starts to cry and he rushes over to her in a panic, looking at all the machinery. "Are you in pain?" He asks her and she shakes her head.
"You have some nerve showing up here after what you've done." She cries. "So I'll give you sixty seconds to explain everything" she sighs, wiping her eyes with her unbandaged hand.
"No. one of my colleagues who picked me up from the airport kissed me… I didn't know what to do after that… told her not to come near me or even talk to me unless it was something highly important" He says gently and nervously, fiddling with his own fingers. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want it to get between us and…" he sighs, kneeling down onto his knees next to her. "Usako…You're the only person I've ever been in a relationship with…and don't forget I've been raised differently… our first meeting ties into that" he says, and she nods.
"Alright…I forgive you" she whispers as she places her bandaged hand over his on the white fabric of the bed, her other hand moving towards her abdomen.
"How did you crash?" Mamoru asks her gently, squeezing her hand gently. Her eyes close tight, he could almost see her trying to figure out what to say to him and the pain of being reminded of the most terrifying thing her life could have experienced so far.
"I went to Ami's place cause I was sick… and we talked for a bit and she conducted some…tests on me and one came back positive… so I left her house and went into the car where I was distracted a little by the test results and then. When I was driving, a person must have been speeding and he rammed into me" she whispers. "I don't remember anything after that" she whispers, her eyes still closed, but he could see the tears coming out of them and running down her cheek. Mamoru reached over with his other hand and wiped them off.
"What test came back positive?" he asks her gently, his hand gently tracing the lining of the bandage. She takes in a deep breath, the air shaking as it fills her lungs. She whispers something under her breath before covering her eyes with her good hand. "Pardon?" he asks her gently.
"A pregnancy test" she whispers. Mamoru freezes, his back stiffening, and his eyes wide. She was pregnant… but he doubted it could be his and he frowned.
"It's not mine, is it?" he asks, wishing will all his heart that he was wrong. He wanted it to be his and the girl he loved, so he was mentally praying for it. Usagi shook her head quickly and he let out a breath. "Good" he whispered. "I don't think I could mentally cope if it was someone else's" he whispered, and she frowns, pulling her lips downwards. "But it's your choice. Right now, I might not be ready, but I can try" he promises her, and she smiles.
"I want to keep it…I don't think I'll every get the chance in the future again… we just can't tell my parents yet". She says with a smile.
"Smart move…until after the wedding?" he asks her, and she nods.
"Ok" she nods, the salty tears springing into her eyes. "We really are going to have a family… aren't we" she whispers, wiping her tears away with the white, bandaged hand.
"Yes. Yes, we are" and with a smile, he took her hand gently in his.
