The mirrors got foggy as the steam from the shower filled the room, bouncing off the tiles and into the air and back. Kuroko was running the shower to hide the noises of the loud morning sickness. He tried to steady his breath as his soft and unstable throat erupted back to the sad state of pain.

Kuroko held his chest and closed his eyes as the violent wave of nausea passed. With a sigh of relief, he cleaned the bathroom, sprayed a couple hundred spritzes of an air freshener, and brushed his teeth vigorously. He had decided after hours and more hours of talking with himself and kagami. He was going to stay with Aomine. But if he did something else to cross the line from now on, he was going to leave. Kuroko had the first test ready.

Next week was their anniversary. He wanted to see if Aomine even thought about it. Even a little would be fine to Kuroko; that's how much he wanted to stay with him.

"Aomine, good morning," Kuroko said with the best smile he could muster with the pain still aching in his throat.

"Hey Tetsu, morning," he says with a casual nod and a quick peck, rushing out the door. "I got to go now, but I have to talk to about the trip I have to take with the team when I get home."

With a smile and wave, he says "ok" and sends Aomine off.

Since Kuroko had submitted for a maternity leave, he didn't need to leave for work, so he decided to focus more on his situation. His baby, Daiki, all those partners he probably met and were never suspected because he thought Daiki was loyal to Kuroko just like he was to him. It all was something he couldn't seem to process no matter what. The baby. It still didn't feel real to him. Considering all he expected, it was the total opposite.

He had dreams of him telling Aomine and them both working hard together, supporting each other until the baby would come. He had a picture of a happy crying Daiki and him holding the joy they had made together. And now Kuroko doesn't even know if Daiki wanted a baby in the first place. Crying now into his sleeves, he pulls the big boyfriend sweater off and buries his face into it as he crouches on the bed. He strokes his legs up and down, and left and right on the bed, allowing his legs to stay cool on the cold linen sheets. Holding the sweater, making that the only thing heating his body, pressing it close to his stomach, where he thought he felt a small bump start to form. He was happy, but sad. Sure, but confused. Tears began to form again in the corners of his eyes but instead of stopping them he lets them flow like rivers down the sides of his face as he stared at the ceiling watching shapes of light bounce from outside the curtains onto the smooth crème plaster. It was a peaceful moment that was a paradise in the chaotic stream of events that had been happening lately.

He got up and rubbed his face awake from the peaceful daze, and made his way towards his drawer. Aomine never looked through his clothes. They were to small and not suited for him. Kuroko reached into the back-right corner of his drawer. There was his emergency suppressants and a folded paper that was a little crumpled. He gently unfolded the tear stained sheet and read the words on the top.

'Pregnancy verification letter'

'Patient: Kuroko Testsuya'

'Positive'

He begins to remember the excitement he got when he first opened the envelope and saw those words. He remembers daydreaming of his future. Maybe that will never happen now. But he has to at least try to be happy, or how else will he be? Nobody but himself is holding him back from seeking the future. And Daiki.

His head began to hurt again but that was until he spotted a phone in the corner of his eye. It wasn't his, but it also wasn't Daiki's. Kuroko reached for it and his hands began to shake. It was a girl's phone. He knew from pink paint job and sparkles shaped into her name on it. In sparkly purple and white studs, it spelled a name. But not the manager's name, her name was Asami. The name on the phone spelled Emiko. Kuroko threw the phone in shock instantly after he read the name. The phone landed on the bed with a thud. Tears appear again with a vengeance. In anger, Kuroko takes the phone, puts it on silent and hides it in his drawer. He grabs a set of clothes, pulls them on and yanks his phone and key off the table as he runs towards the door. He can't be in that house for any longer. With each step he gets as angry as he should have been when he caught Aomine in the first place. He doesn't know where he is going, he just keeps on walking.

He walks past several bus stops and stores until he looks up and realizes he has no idea where he is. But he doesn't care anymore. With empty eyes, he weakly looks around for somewhere to sit and just take a break from the aching he feels in his legs. He looks to see a park just nearby. As he wobbles past the entrance, he could feel his heart throb. His sad sighs turn into tired gasps when he recognizes the fact that he walked miles while carrying a baby. His knees buckle as his lack of eating and his constant exhale of the food he does eat catch up to his health. But instead of falling someone catches him.

Kuroko's arms land into the sweaty arms of a nearby basketball player from the court in the park. Without having the chance to see and thank his savior, he led to the table and benches close by.

Kuroko then turned to thank him, but instead of seeing the face of a curious stranger, he saw the mad face of a person he knew.

OK SO im sorry for the really late update. I never really had the time to and since I have a break now i figured i would finish the third chapter. OOH and remember when you saw Haizaki as one of the main characters well that wasn't by mistake ;)

Also I just wanted to say that I hope that everyone of you people that just happen to read this are safe and well (of course everyone else too :) especially against Corona.
