Kaname and Sousuke had just purchased their tickets for the train to Kaname's parents' house. After what Sousuke had heard about her past, he was anxious to meet her parents. He didn't know what they would think about him, but he hoped it would be okay. Her parents probably wouldn't be too happy that she was dating, and they would be even less happy to find out she was pregnant. In fact, Sousuke wouldn't be surprised if they made her stay with them, and he wouldn't ever get to see her again or his child. He decided to confront her about it on the train. She had a sullen look on her face that Sousuke just couldn't bear, so he put his arm around her shoulder. He saw a slight smile to hide her fear, but he could see this wasn't going to be easy.

"You okay, Kaname?" asked Sousuke. She suddenly looked up with surprise.

"Yes. I'm fine. Just a little worried. I don't want my parents to be mad at me. They let me live on my own which means that they trusted me to make the right choices. Now I know they will be very angry and make me stay there with them," answered Kaname. He could sense the desperation in her voice. Sousuke also didn't realize that she was a lot more nervous about this than he was. She turned back and went back to looking depressed. He couldn't help but worry.

They boarded the train and easily found a place to put their luggage. They climbed into the seat nearest the luggage hold and took seats opposite each other which was strange considering they were a couple and had sex. He had a thought that she was mad at him, but it quickly disappeared when he knew that that could not happen. Sousuke leaned out of his seat and put his head in his hands. Kaname looked at Sousuke with a perplexing and worried look.

"Is something wrong?" asked Kaname. Sousuke's head jerked up so suddenly that Kaname jumped in her seat.

"Oops. Sorry for scaring you. I was just thinking about your parent's reaction to this news of ours," he said pointing to her stomach. Kaname looked down at her stomach and started rubbing it up and down.

"I want to keep this baby," she said bluntly. Sousuke's eyes widened and thought about the scenarios being the good soldier that he is.

"I know you do, but you also have to think about the baby's finances and everything. I mean, we're in high school. I thought you wanted to go to college, get a job, and then start a family," said Sousuke.

"I do. It's just that I can't stand the idea of getting an...abortion or giving my baby to another family knowing full well that that baby will grow up and want to know why I gave them up," said Kaname.

"Yes, but can you really afford everything for the baby, and will you have enough time for it? Your parents wouldn't be able to help you bring up the baby since they live so far away. Of course I would help you, but I would constantly be on missions, in school, or be anywhere else. Can you really deal with that?" questioned Sousuke. Kaname looked down and thought about what Sousuke just said. She wanted this baby, but she knew Sousuke was right. Could she really do it? Could she handle this almost alone? Even she didn't know the answer to these questions.

"You're right. The best thing we could do would be to give the baby up for adoption. I am NOT having an abortion. It's too cruel what they do to them, but we have a lot of time to think about it. I'm about a month and a half along. That gives us about seven months to think about it. We don't have to think about this now. Right now, let's just get over this hurdle of telling my parents. I know they won't be happy about this," she said. With that she gazed out the window, and Sousuke went back to putting his head in his hands.

Over the next half hour, they thought about what they were going to do and what her parents were going to say. Since Sousuke didn't have any parents, he didn't have to worry about disappointing them, but he still had to explain this to Kalinin. He knew that he would be calm about this, but Sousuke knew that he had made a mistake. He would speak to Kalinin alone after they talked to Kaname's parents. It wouldn't be fun, but it was something they had to do.

They got out the train at the city of Nikaho(A/N: This is a real place. I looked it up online. It is really small). Sousuke and Kaname only had to walk about a mile to get to her parent's house. As they walked, they held hands and looked at all the flowers and trees of Autumn. It helped them by letting them concentrate on something else that the challenge ahead. After about ten minutes, they walked up the stone path of her parent's house. All of these things brought memories back to Kaname. She remembered playing here as a little girl, visiting her neighbor's house, and finally the worst memory of all. The day that she got raped. 'Luckily I hadn't gotten pregnant from him' she thought. They knocked on her parent's door and waited there for a few moments until a woman came to the door. When Kaname saw her, she just coudn't hold in the tears.

"Mom!" she cried as tears gushed down her face. Her mother's eyes were streaming, too. As they stood there, Sousuke looked on in awe. He never really knew what it was like to be embraced and welcomed like that. Either way, he was happy to see she was happy. Her mother motioned them both inside and had them sit on the couch. She called up to her husband, and he joined them only moments later. He embraced his daughter just like her mother had just not with tears streaming down. There were just little droplets running down slowly.(A/N: Her father is just a little more emotional than another father would be which is good because that was what Kaname needed)

"So what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?" her mother asked quite formally. At this, Kaname's head dropped down and her smile disappeared. Her parents were worried about this change in attitude.

"Is there something wrong dear?" asked her mother.

"Well, nothing's wrong, but I wouldn't say everything is great persee," answered Kaname.

"Then what is it?" asked Kaname's father.

"Would you like me to explain, Kaname?" asked Sousuke. Kaname shook her head and looked up at her parents with fire in her eyes. She was going to tell them the truth whether they liked it or not. They had the right to know that they would become grandparents in seven months time.

"Ok. Here's the deal. This guy, Sousuke, who sits right next to me is my..." said Kaname stopping.

"Is he your boyfriend, sweetie?" asked her mother.

"Yes, and that's not just it. About two months ago, we did some stuff and now I'm...I'm," said Kaname. She just couldn't finish her sentence. The worry on her parents' faces grew and they had an idea about what she would say next. They just didn't want to hear it. Finally, she mustled up the courage and said those two words.

"I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed. Her parents' faces were in pure shock. 'There is no way in hell that they are going to accept this' thought Kaname. Is she right?
