Wow...this story now has more than 50 reviews...I'm shocked!

Anyway, our anti-Yuki members of the audience aren't going to like this chapter. Oh well.

I try to answer questions about the story here, and I think a while back someone asked roughly where this takes place in the storyline and where Tohru is living? Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm usually trying to get the chapters posted as quickly as possible, so I forget sometimes. The answer to that is, this is after the end of the storyline (but not much after). And...I really never gave much thought to where Tohru was living. Maybe she and Kyo moved out...?

Anyway, sorry for the long delay, and here's an update!

"Oh, so things are going well, then?" asked Yuki.

Haru nodded. "Really well, I'd say. Rin's even gotten close to deciding on a date. She wants September."

"…why September?"

"I don't know, but I don't mind either way. If she's actually thinking about this stuff, then that's good enough for me."

"So…you're really going to do it, huh?" asked Yuki quietly, "I'm sorry, but the thought of you getting married…now…it's just hard to believe."

"I know. I can hardly believe it myself. I wasn't even sure what came over me. I mean, I'd been thinking about marrying Rin from the very beginning, but I didn't think I'd have the guts to actually propose. I mean, I think I'd always wanted to be with Rin forever…I mean, get married someday, have kids, live our lives together…but I wasn't expecting it to happen now. It seemed like something that didn't really require immediate thought or attention because it was off in the future. But…there's not much I can do now. And…there's not necessarily anything wrong with being young parents or getting married young, is there?"

"Not necessarily", Yuki replied.

"And I mean, it's not like I was with Rin just to have fun."

"…I think anyone could figure that out. No offense, but unless you actually love Rin, it's not worth the trouble."

"I could say the same thing about Machi. She seems to be a stubborn one, too."

"She can be, but…" Yuki was thoughtful. "We have an understanding."

"Are you going to marry her?"

"Well…it could take her a while to accept that marriage would make her related to nii-san. And it would make me related to Kakeru. So I think at this point, it's mutually discouraging."

"Ah…"

"So you're going to move in with Shihan after the baby's born?" asked Yuki.

"Yeah, Shihan said it was all right, but…I still feel kind of bad about it. He's a nice guy, but I don't want to feel like I'm…reaping the benefits."

"No, you're not that sort of malicious person."

"That's why I'm going to start working things out. The rest of this year is going to be pretty tense. We have a wedding to work out…and after the wedding, I was going to start getting ready to move out. It's not like I want to stay in Shihan's house forever…if me and Rin are going to be together, we have to stand on our own."

"Well, if you--"

Haru's cell phone started ringing.

"It's Shihan", he said, then answered it. "Hello?"

He was quiet. Then he slowly flipped the phone shut.

"What is it?" asked Yuki.

"…Rin is having the baby."

All right. You all know what's coming in Chapter 15, now.

But to tell you the truth, I originally planned to have this story cover the time Rin is pregnant--meaning it ends when the baby is born. But I could write more after it's born, if you really want me to.
