Chapter 2

Tadashi was really quite since he got home. Aunt Cass seemed worried about him. She hadn't asked him about what happened yet. She wanted them to have dinner first. That made Tadashi appreciated her. But that didn't make him eat a lot like usual.

"Tadashi," she called him when she saw him walking away to his room. He turned around to face her, "Yeah?" Even his voice was weak.

"We need to talk."

Somehow, it made Tadashi gulped and felt nervous. He didn't say it. Aunt Cass raised him for nine years now, so she knew him without him saying it out loud. She motioned Tadashi to sit on the couch across her. He sighed and obliged.

"So, what happened?" she asked after Tadashi sat down.

"Nothing."

Aunt Cass snorted at his answer, "It's not nothing if you're acting like this. Don't lie to me, Tadashi. I know something happened to you."

He hated to lie to his aunt. Especially when she was right about something happened. He knew what her reaction would be if he tell her about the news. But it already happened. And he needed to face the consequence.

"Vivienne," he started. He took one last breath before he continued, "She's pregnant."

Another silence filled the room. Tadashi felt uneasy that made him fidgeting his fingers as he stared at his aunt's blank face. He jumped up in shock when Aunt Cass suddenly slammed her hands on the table.

"YOU WHAT?!" she roared loudly. "Tadashi Hamada! You impregnated your ex?!"

He flinched at her scary tone and gulped, "Y-yes."

"I already told you to not have sex before you're married! I thought you're smarter than this! That girl is a magnet for troubles! Why couldn't you at least choose a better girl to have sex with?! Why it had to be her of all people?!" Aunt Cass yelled at him.

Tadashi slammed the table and snapped at her, "Don't blame everything on her! It is also my fault that she's pregnant right now! I know her at least better than you! I know I made a mistake! Everyone does make mistakes in their life! But that doesn't mean you can blame everything on the person you don't like!"

Aunt Cass was shocked when she heard Tadashi said that to her. Tadashi was a kind and gentle person. He never raised his voice toward other people. If her nephew shouted at her like that, it meant she pushed the wrong button in him. She sighed and tried to calm down. While Tadashi, he was still glaring at her.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Tadashi averted his gaze and leaned his back, "I still don't know. She said she wants to raise the baby. With me," he paused for a while. "But, she also gives me some time to think before I answer her. She lets me choose whether I want to take the responsibility and raise the baby with her, or refuse to take the responsibility and leave her with the baby."

"She wants to raise the baby? That's a surprise. At least she still has a good thing in her," Aunt Cass commented.

He nodded, "Yeah. She didn't want to kill the baby or putting it for adoption."

"If you take the responsibility, what about your college?"

"I can quit and work a full time job."

"No! I'm absolutely against it! You worked really hard to get into SFIT and the scholarship! I won't let you throw away the opportunity you have!"

Tadashi shrugged, "Then I can go to college and work part time."

Aunt Cass frowned, "You wouldn't be able to focus on your study!"

"Then what do you want me to do?! Do you want me to be a coward and a jerk, refuse to take the responsibility for the mistake I have done, go to college, and living a good life, while Vivienne has to bear living alone with a bump on her belly and lives a hard life with working and raising the baby on her own?! Is that really what you want me to do?! As much as I hate myself for this, but you and my parents never raised me to be a jerk like that!"

Tadashi yelled at her again. He couldn't control his anger right now. Not with the words his aunt had said to him.

"Tadashi, that's not what I'm trying to say. You have a big opportunity for your bright future. Getting into SFIT is one of them. I don't want you to throw away what you have achieved."

Aunt Cass sounded firm with her stern look on him. Tadashi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

She was right. He worked really hard to get into SFIT. He wanted to be as successful as his parents were and help a lot of people. He couldn't let it slip out from his hand. Not after all of those hard works he had done in the past.

But he was also torn. He couldn't let Vivienne live alone and live a hard life. She had a baby growing inside her womb. His baby. The helpless little life he helped create.

Then again, he still didn't know what he was going to do at the moment. He let out an exasperated sigh and stood up.

"Just.. leave me alone for now," Tadashi said with a weak voice.

He walked away from her to his room. He knew his aunt was watching him leave. But he didn't care. He needed some time alone. To think what kind of decision he would choose. Tadashi wanted to choose a right decision.

One that he would never regret.

Author's Note: I just want you to know. Despite on whatever decision he will make, Tadashi is not a jerk. Everyone can do mistakes in their life. But I won't promise anything. Not even a fast update.
