Note: I don't own Vampire knight. I apologize about the long time between updates and the shortness of the chapters. I unfortunately go to a school where the only break I've gotten since last September was one week. I'm trying though so bear with me
She put her hand on her stomach. Somehow she felt that this being needed her protection.
"I think I want to have it."
"It's settled then. I'll be there for you. I do wonder how far along you are though. You aren't showing at all."
"Maybe it's from the last time we did it."
"How long ago was that?"
She counted in her head.
"I'm not sure but more than a month."
"That'd make sense then. But still, I didn't know women could get sick so early on."
"The doctor gave me some medicine. I hope it works because I don't think I can take another 8 months of that."
"You can't be sick for that long. It'd ruin your health and you could miscarry."
"I still can't believe this is happening."
"Trust me, me neither"
"Are you sure this is fine with you?"
"Yes, I'm sure. It'll be fine."
"I just don't want you to feel like you're stuck with me."
"Stuck with you?"
"You'll be a father. You'll have responsibilities."
"It's more like you'll be stuck with me, Yuuki"
"I don't feel that way about you at all. I'll be glad to be stuck with you. Lots of women aren't so lucky. I know you'll take things seriously."
"I see."
Yuuki got up from her chair and approached Zero. He followed her with his eyes, wondering what she was going to do. She kissed him on the lips. It was a very soft and gentle kiss.
"How can you still do that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Yuuki, I almost killed you. The mouth you kissed almost drained you of your blood."
"It wasn't your fault. You didn't choose to be what you are today. I want you to stay and be with me."
"I'm staying. You really want us to actually be together? You don't want me to be there just for the baby?"
"No, silly. And besides, I want to have an actual family."
Zero had a smile tugging on his lips. She hadn't seen him smile in such a long time it seemed. But it made sense. Zero had lost his family a few years back. Now, she was asking him to build a family of their own.
"Like we'd get married?" asked the young vampire.
Yuuki turned a bright pink.
"I…I guess so. I mean, only if you don't mind. But…But I understand if the idea doesn't seem nice to you!"
"No, I think I'd like to have a traditional family."
It was Zero's turn to kiss Yuuki. He did it very gently and stoked her hair at the same time. From now on he needed to make sure he was very careful with her. She was fragile. He had to protect her and the baby. At thought that she had a baby in her womb he put his hand on her stomach. She was still completely flat but just the thought of the baby being there made his fingers a bit tingly. What a strange sensation.
Yuuki was surprised he put his hand on her stomach like that while kissing her.
"How are you feeling?"
"A bit less dizzy, the medicine is helping"
"You should get some rest"
With those words he took her in his arms and carried her to her bedroom.
"Zero, I don't need to be carried!"
"I'll carry you until your dizziness stops completely. What if you fell in the stairs? I'll take care of you. It's the least I can do."
"Stop talking about that already. We need to put that behind us."
"I don't think I will ever be able to. I want to spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
He lowered her onto her comfortable bed but she clung to his neck and looked him in the eyes.
"So what if this had never happened? Would you still have stayed with me? Would you want to be with me?"
How could she even ask that?
"Yuuki, you shouldn't even ask yourself that. I love you. I've loved you for such a long time. I've wanted to be with you since I met you."
He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
Kaname jumped in the air from his desk when he heard the news.
"Yuuki is pregnant?"
The noble vampire who brought him the news confirmed it one last time before taking his leave. Kaname was left with his thoughts. Could it be his? There was definitely a chance. He had sex with her and he came inside her. It could very well be his baby. Kaname felt very satisfied with himself. But soon a worry clouded his thoughts. Yuuki had a very fragile human body. Carrying a normal vampire child would already be difficult. A baby half pureblood would be even riskier. She could easily miscarry.
He decided to go see her as soon as possible. He would decide what to do next after he saw her. According to the vampire who had brought him the news she had an appointment for a more thorough exam tomorrow. He needed to get Tanaka sensei under his control.
