I walked over to Risa-san. "What's wrong, Risa-san?"
"It's Riku, Niwa-kun..."
"What's wrong with Riku?"
"She... she's pregnant." Risa-san whispered to me.
My heart stopped and my blood ran cold when I heard those words come out of Risa-san's mouth. "Sh-she's what?"
"She wanted me to tell you. She's pregnant."
"B-but, we never..." Then it hits me. One night we were a little drunk and we had slept together. I was engaged to Satoshi-kun and suddenly Riku tells me she's pregnant. I couldn't believe it.
"She says it's yours."
"It is. I remember the only time we slept together. It was like three months ago though. She's already three months pregnant? And she just told me because I left her for Satoshi-kun. Well, if she didn't tell me until she was gonna lose me, she doesn't deserve to have anyone. She should have told me when she found out. I deserved to know as soon as she did. She just told me now so that I wouldn't stay with Satoshi-kun and I would get back together with her. That was really selfish and you can tell her I said that!!"
Risa-san looked at me. "Niwa-kun... she wants you back. She loves you. She wanted to tell you two months ago, but she didn't want you to feel worse than you had been feeling. She caught onto the fact that you were depressed. And the fact that you didn't love her. You're not very hard to read, Niwa-kun. She wanted to try to get you to love her again before she told you. I know she's sorry."
"Yeah, well, tell her I'm staying with Satoshi-kun. I'm not ruining my relationship with the only person I ever loved. I'm happy for the first time since Dark left my body."
Risa-san nodded. "I understand, Niwa-kun. I'll tell her you're staying with Hiwatari-kun. She'll understand if I explain it to her. I'm sorry she made me just spring this on you right after you announced your engagement. That was really mean of her. But, I had to listen to her because she would hate me and I couldn't deal with my sister hating me." She turned to leave. "I really am sorry Niwa-kun." She left without another word.
Satoshi-kun walked over to me. "What did she want to tell you?"
"She wanted to tell me that Riku is pregnant."
"Oh well. Our engagement was fun while it lasted." He started to take his engagement ring off.
I stopped him. "Don't take your ring off. I'm not leaving you for her just because she is pregnant. She should have told me when she found out instead of after I left her. She just wanted me to leave you for her. I don't love her, so I'm not going to pretend I do."
"But Daisuke-kun, you have to be a part of your child's life."
"I know, and I will be. I'll ask Riku for visitation. I want to be with you. I want to know my kid, but I would hate myself forever if I let you go."
"Okay."
Everyone looked over at me. "Honey, what did Risa-chan want?" Mom asked me.
I sighed. "She wanted to tell me that apparently, Riku is pregnant. But before anyone says anything, I'm still marrying Satoshi-kun."
My grandpa looked up. "No, you're not. You have to marry Riku-chan and raise your child."
"I'm not leaving Satoshi-kun! I love him and I would never forgive myself if I didn't stay with him!"
"But what about Riku-chan and the baby. They need you."
"I don't care. Riku only told me so I'd get back with her! She's three months pregnant! She's know for like 2 months! She should have told me when she found out, not as an after thought after I left her!"
My dad had been silent since I said Riku was pregnant. But then out of the blue, he broke his silence. "If Dai-chan wants to be with Satoshi-kun, he is allowed to be with Satoshi-kun. He can't fight who he loves. If he doesn't love Riku-chan, he shouldn't pretend he does. Besides, it's better for them to not get back together for the baby than for Dai-chan to cheat on Riku-chan with Satoshi-kun and then they get divorced. Believe it or not, divorce is harder on kids than their parents never being together."
"Dad, thanks for sticking up for me." I said and smiled.
Dad chuckled. "No problem, kiddo. You deserve to be happy. Besides, you were right, Riku should have told you as soon as she knew. If she had told you, you would probably be married to her already."
"You're right, I would be married to her now because I never would have run into Satoshi-kun and rekindled my love for him."
Riku walked into the room. "Niwa-kun, I love you. But I know you really love Hiwatari-kun. I'm not going to try to interfere with you two anymore. I'm sorry."
I walked over to Riku. "It's okay, Riku." I hugged her gently. "Do I still get to see the baby? I really don't want to leave it without a dad. I want to be a part of it's life, if only a small part."
"Of course you can see it, Niwa-kun. I would never keep your child from you." Riku hugged me again.
