AN: Thank you Bex the Hat ,BK201-Journal , some1ders13 , and ColinatorGX for reviewing.

Suou clung to her bag and gulped. She stood down the hall from the teacher's office. She paced a bit and tried to build up her courage. 'Give it to him…give it to him…give it to him…' She chanted in her head, though it didn't help much and she was still very nervous about meeting with her teacher alone. Wait… maybe they wouldn't be alone… maybe there were going to be other teachers around… it was the teacher's office after all. But what if they were alone?! This made Suou nervous all over again. She grabbed onto her head and groaned. A few students looked at her strangely as they passed by.

Suou became embarrassed and gulped. She had to do this...this was going to be easy! Just go in there, and give it to him. No regrets! She took long strides into the teacher's office. She became light-headed when she suddenly noticed that Hei was indeed alone grading papers. Hei looked up when Suou entered the room. He placed the papers neatly into a folder. "Umm…ahh…you wanted to see me, Hei-sensei?"

"That's right, come over here and sit." Hei said and pulled out a chair from the desk adjacent to his. Suou bashfully made her way over to his desk and sat down in the chair he had provided. She put her bag in her lap and started to blush. She was alone with Hei! 'This is the perfect opportunity to confess, isn't it?' She returned from her stupor when Hei lay his elbow on the desk and leaned over it. "So, I heard you got hit in gym class. Are you alright?"

Suou's fluster heightened…he hadn't just heard of it… he had witnessed it too! "Yeah, Tanya has a really good arm…" She laughed apprehensively...what was she saying?! "I'm fine. I just needed some rest." She gripped her bag a little too tightly and smiled.

Hei sat up and appeared contemplative. Suou straightened a little. Out of expectation, she just knew he was going to say something important. "Suou, today we had a quiz." He said collectedly, and Suou frowned a little. "I was wondering if you could come in early and make it up. I am always in the teacher's office." He smiled at her. Suou nodded hastily, her fluster did not waver.

"Is that all, Hei-sensei?" Suou said, feeling like a cop-out. Why couldn't she just say, 'I love you! Please except this special candy?' She regretted her words in an instant, and she wished they could be taken back. Instead, she shifted restlessly in her chair.

"Yes. You may go home now." Hei answered, watching Suou shoot up and out of her chair. She managed to mumble a good-bye and left the office immediately. Hei put the chair back and began grading quizzes from the last class.

Suou sped out of the school in vexation. Once she was off the school grounds, she slowed down. "Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!!" She screamed outward to the empty street. "I missed my chance…" She said dejectedly and faced the ground. She opened her bag, taking out her small treasure. "Why couldn't I give it to him? Was it the wrong time?" She gazed at the condom packet wistfully. She tucked it back into her bag. She sighed, remembering that it was Hei who had wanted her to meet him.

Was he giving her the opportunity to confess? Did her want her to confess to him? Suou put a hand on her cheek and slightly shook her head. She could feel her cheek getting warmer because the relentless idea would not dissipate. Suou decided to run the rest of the way home to clear her head.

Hei finished grading the quizzes, rubbing his strained eyes under his glasses. He lifted his glasses up and messily stuffed the papers into the folder. He took his cell phone out and checked his emails first. He called home, putting the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" Yin answered the phone with a faint boiling sound in the background.

"Oh, are cooking already?" Hei asked, frowning a little. He had other plans, but didn't want to ruin the food she was cooking.

"No… The water just started to boil. Why?" Yin asked, sounding a little confused. She knew he was going to change their plans.

"I was thinking we could go out tonight. To that Italian place we always go to." He said and started to pack up his papers and books. He could hear Yin shifting lightly.

She sighed. "Alright, I'll be dressed by the time you come home." Yin smiled imperceptibly, happy she didn't have to cook dinner.

"Okay… I love you." He said and stealthily glanced around to make sure no one was there.

"I love you, too." Yin said and kissed the receiver of the phone before hanging up. Hei hung up just after her and smiled. He took off his glasses and picked up his bag, leaving for the day.

Hei got home not feeling as tired as he did yesterday. He went inside and quickly kicked off his shoes. He took a few essentials out of his bag and put them into his pockets. "I'm home. Yin, are you ready?" He called out and stepped further into the house.

He saw Yin come out of the bedroom with a casual black dress on. She smoothed out the pleats near the band under her chest, just above her developing stomach. She made sure the top overlapped correctly so that she wasn't showing off too much pregnancy cleavage and made sure the collar was in place. Yin smiled and was holding a small black purse to match. "Yes, I am ready."

Hei went over to her and kissed her lips. "You look very pretty." He held her hand, guiding her to the door. Hei slipped his shoes back on and Yin picked out a pair of flats from the little rack by the door. She took his arm and he led her out, locking the door. Since they frequented this restaurant, they were used to the brisk walk.

Yin rested her head on his arm and inhaled a deep breath of the evening air. "How was school today?"

"I saw a student take a volleyball to the face. It didn't look very fun, but I'm happy to say most of the class passed my pop quiz." Hei said, taking her hand with his.

Yin winced a little. "Volleyballs sound dangerous…" She intertwined their fingers. "That is great; it means they really are listening." She said enthusiastically.

Hei laughed at the enthusiasm in her voice. "Well I did give them a warning. Let's wait and see how well they do on the test before summer break." Yin twittered, nodding. She knew they were now close to the restaurant.

It was only a few more minutes before they reached their destination. The door's bell jingled and the hostess came over to show them to their seats. She knew only to bring one menu since she knew their situation because of their constant visits. She brought them to a booth and Yin slid in first and Hei sat next to her. The hostess put the menu on the table. "Your waitress will be right over." She said and then left, hearing the bell ring again.

Yin turned to Hei. "Do you see anything interesting for the specials?" She blinked rapidly because her eyes were getting irritated.

"I don't see anything that pops out at me…" He said after he scanned the specials for her. He opened the menu to look at the dinner choices. He felt Yin pulled on his sleeve softly and he looked over at her.

"Do they still have the spinach raviolis? I have a sudden craving for them." She smiled. She felt Hei shift as he looked back to the menu for her. She then heard him nod his head. "Have you decided yet?" She asked and sat back and rubbed her stomach slowly.

"I think I'll get the carbonara." Hei said and closed the menu. He saw Yin's hand on her stomach. "How has it been today?" The waitress came over before Yin could answer. She put down two glasses of water and took out her little notebook.

"Ah! You sure are coming along nicely." The waitress complimented, making Yin mildly blush. "So, what can I get you two?" Hei told her their orders and the waitress left. Hei reached over and took Yin's hand but rested it on her stomach.

"You know… we have an appointment coming up soon." Yin reminded him and turned her head toward him.

"I know… I will be home to take you. Kiko doesn't have to pick you up." Hei said tenderly and kissed her cheek. He had gone to all of her appointments, even though he was late for many of them because of work. "You are making sure to rest a lot at home, right? You aren't pushing yourself?" He asked anxiously. He knew Yin was always trying to keep herself busy.

"Yes, I haven't even composed a song...I still have some fatigue." Yin put her head on his shoulder. "I might even fall asleep here." She chirped.

"But then you will miss out on all the good food." He said to tease her. This made Yin sit up right away. Her appetite had gotten much bigger since she had gotten pregnant. Her appetite was actually was one of the first signs that told them something was different. Hei looked up when the waitress reappeared with their dinner. Yin took a gulp of her water before starting to eat voraciously. The speed at which she ate almost rivaled Hei who had a bottomless stomach.

Yin finished and then delicately patted her mouth with the napkin. She took another few sips of her water and listened to the sounds of Hei eating. She knew he was done when the fork hit the plate that was followed by him gulping down his water. She closed her eyes and drank the rest of her water. The waitress returned with the check and took their plates. Yin heard Hei dig out his wallet and stuff the little book with bills. She felt his body heat leave as he slid out of the booth. He took her hand, helping her up. She took his arm, as they slipped into the ebony night.

"Hei… I want prune flavored ice cream with pickles." She said very seriously and Hei knew they had to get it. He knew that she would get fidgety if her strange craving wasn't fulfilled. He lead her toward a convenience store and prayed that they would have prune flavored ice cream. Hei got her in the store quickly and dug through the freezer as Yin stood beside him.

A wide grin showed on Hei's face when he retrieved some prune flavored ice cream from the bottom of the freezer "I got it. We have pickles at home, right?" Yin nodded and felt happy that Hei would dig through the cold freezer for her. She took his hand to share her warmth, as he brought her to the check out. Yin took the bag as they left and couldn't wait to eat again!

Yin smiled and squeezed Hei's hand. "Thank you, dear." She said and gently swung the bag as they walked. Yin felt good walking in the cool air. It was nice to actually walk since she mostly rested at home unless she was doing chores or sitting in front of her piano. She heard Hei unlock the door and was surprised at how fast they got home. She went into the house and kicked her shoes off since she couldn't bend down without getting wobbly. She went into the kitchen to dig into her ice cream and pickles.

Hei hung up his coat and pulled his tie down moderately. He went into the kitchen and saw her put a pickle slice on a spoonful of the prune ice cream and then eat it. He laughed and watched her repeat the process. "Does it actually taste good?" She hummed in pleasure, nodding. Yin ate until she was satisfied and let out a content sigh.

She cleaned up the pickles and put away the ice cream. She went over to where she could heard Hei's remote breathing. She wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you for the lovely evening." She kissed him. "Do you have work to do or can we go to bed?"

Hei placed his hands on her hips. "I finished it all at school." He said, gazing down at her charmingly. She seized his hands and smiled a little. She lured him toward the bed room. Hei kissed her passionately, feeling the intensity of lascivious tension and closed the door.

AN: Oh yeah It ends there. But here are some omakes to make you smile.

1.)

Suou was standing in front of the teacher's office and saw Hei on his cell phone. He was smiling and she wondered who could make him smile like that. She saw him lean over his desk a little.

"You can bleep me when I get home." He whispered huskily.

Suou's face turned white. Her pupils became tiny and her body went limp. Did she actually just hear her beloved teacher say that?!

2.)

Hei had finished passing out the quizzes. He went back to the front of the class to proctor. All of the students had their heads down concentrating on the quiz. Hei's pocket started to vibrate and he took out his phone. He moved toward the door and read the text he received. He covered his mouth--giggling. His students were staring at his back now with wide eyes. They had to look at each other to confirm that they all heard their teacher giggle.
