Rena's POV
Pffff...There is not really a different in my second month...Well I started to complain a lot. Yesterday I made Keiichi crazy with my whining and complaining...He yelled at me in frustration and I cried for hours. But I understood it, even though it took me awhile. Sometimes I think that I become stupider every second in my pregnancy, and then I want to hit my head against the wall. I tried once, but Keiichi saw what I was up to so he held me back. Of course he was angry at me, but too bad for him I cry a lot. That's only advantage I have while my pregnancy. I sighed. Keiichi was watching some sport news on the TV and I was just bored...Keiichi didn't seem to notice it. I sighed loud so he would notice, but he didn't. Was the news more interesting than me? I rolled my eyes. I stood up and walked to the stairs. When I was about to head upstairs I heard Keiichi "Rena?" I didn't bother to answer and walked upstairs. I went to our bedroom and lay down our bed. I closed my eyes. I didn't know why I was being difficult. My day seemed so gray and gloomy. Even the weather was gloomy.
I heard the door open, but I kept my eyes shut. Suddenly I felt someone kissing my cheek. "Sweetie..." "Hm...?" "Why did you leave so sudden? Were you tired?" "A bit..." That was not a lie.
"Okay...but why didn't you answer me ...?" He said. I shrugged. He frowned a bit. Suddenly he went to lie next to me. He pulled me close to him. "I don't like it when you ignore me..." "..." "Please stop ignoring me Rena, what's the matter with you today?" "I...I don't know..." He stroked my hair.
I closed my eyes again and fell asleep. When I woke up Keiichi was gone. I sat up and went quiet downstairs. I peeked in the living room. He was watching TV again. Why does it annoy me so much?
More people watches TV, so why is it bothering me? I sighed a bit. Maybe I need some fresh air...
I grabbed my coat in case it will rain and put on my shoes. When I was ready I opened the door and closed it when I was outside. I walked the way towards the dump like I did a few years ago.
I looked up to the sky, it was still gray and gloomy. I walked on and looked to around a bit. Somehow I felt comfortable and enjoyed my walk. Suddenly I realized that I'm already close to 'my treasure mountains'. I didn't call the dump like that anymore, maybe it was only a fragment of the past. My childhood lies there, but I can't go back to that time. This is the best future I could get, right? At least I hope it is. I walked my way over to the dump and walked the path of trash. 'Hmm...Maybe I can find something cute though.' I thought. I saw the van where I hid some of my treasures and decide to go in. I hope I didn't grow too much and get stuck in the window. I walked over to the dump and climbed through the open window. I succeeded and saw all the things I had found in the past. I got a huge smile and then! "HAU~! KAWAII~!" It just slipped out of my mouth. I guess I was still the same girl from before. When I was done with looking, I climbed out through window and got save on the ground. From far away I saw Keiichi. Wait...Keiichi? How did he know that I was here? I was about to hide myself somewhere, but decided not to and walked to the road where Keiichi was about to walk over. When I was on the road Keiichi saw me and run over to. He pulled me immediately in a hug and I returned the hug. After he stopped his face was mixed with worry and anger. "Why did you leave without telling me?" He said. "Uh...anou..." I didn't know what to say. He sighed, but suddenly his eye was on something else. "What did you do...?" He asked. Huh? What did he mean?
"I was just looking at the dump." "I don't mean that, I mean..." He grabbed my arm. "...this." He pointed at my now bleeding arm. "Oh...I didn't even know I had a cut on my arm." I said while sweat dropping. He didn't look very happy. "I guess have to sew my coat too" I said. He sighed and grabbed my other arm and pulled me along, heading to our house. He going a bit fast and I felt a bit tired. "K-Keiichi-kun, can we slow down a bit?" But he didn't. I tripped over my own foot, but Keiichi caught me in time. He let me stand and he pulled me along again. "Keiichi..." I whispered.
When we were at home he ordered me to sit on the couch and to wait for him. I didn't want to cause more trouble so I nodded and waited for him. When he came back he our first-aid kit and he started to clean the cut. "You're lucky that the cut isn't deep..." he said while cleaning the cut. "Well...I didn't even know that I cut myself there." I said when he was done with cleaning my cut. He grabbed my shoulders and looked angry. "You have no idea how worried I was! Why did you even sneak out of the house? You could have told at least someone that you left the house!" He yelled and he pinched me. It hurt and he looked even angrier. I flinched a bit and let myself fall on the ground. I crawled scared away from Keiichi, until I was against the wall. I was scared by Keiichi's action and felt some pain. Was it a heart attack? I let myself cry silently. What was going on? I didn't know it! I suddenly heard Keiichi calling my name. I felt that he shook me and was crying. I heard "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Yet I couldn't do anything but crying. Why did I panic so suddenly? Was it normal to lie down crying and able to do anything? I felt that someone was lifting me. I felt I was being moved and a few seconds later I felt the wind. I want to wake up! I'm scared! Please let me wake up! I could feel everything, but I just couldn't do anything. I felt worthless and stupid. I was weak and I felt humiliated for what was happening. When everything became clear again I saw that I was in the hospital. I blinked my eyes for a moment and went to sit up. But someone pulled me carefully down.
It was Keiichi, he stroked my cheek now. "It's okay...you're safe..." "W-what...happened...?" I asked. "I thought you had a heart attack, because you were in a huge pain and you couldn't move..." He said "...But you probably had a panic attack." I let some tears flow and hugged Keiichi. "Oh Keiichi! I was so scared! I thought I was going to die!" He rubbed my back. "It's okay Rena...And it's probably my fault...I made you scared...I'm so sorry..." He said and I felt tears falling. "K-Keiichi! Y-you're crying!" "You're also crying Rena..."he said. "But I-I just didn't expected it from you." I said.
At that moment Irie came in. "Good news, it was indeed a panic attack." I saw Keiichi sigh in relief. "But if it happens frequently we have to contact each other for the use of medication." Irie said.
"But Irie-san, wouldn't it be bad for our baby?" Keiichi asked. "Only if the panic attacks are worse, I'll let Rena use medication." Irie said and then he turned to me. "You should get some good at your home and you will be fine." I nodded and he smiled. "You are free to go."
We went out of the hospital, Keiichi held my hand tight, not wanting to let me go. I gave him one huge smile, like I was saying 'I'm fine.'. He squeezed my hand a bit and I did the same. Our walk home was very peacefully and quiet. I smiled a bit, but Keiichi on the other hand was quiet and didn't seem happy. "I'm fine Keiichi-kun." I said with a smile. He looked at me and gave me a small smile.
When we were home again, we sat down on the couch quietly. It was already in the evening.
I stood up and wanted to walk over to the kitchen, but Keiichi held me back. "Where are you going..?" "I'm going to the kitchen, to make dinner." I said with a smile. He seemed to hesitate "Uhm...Are you sure? I don't you want to rest?" "I'll be fine." I said. He sighed a bit and let go of me. I walked over to kitchen, and I was preparing dinner. So now and then, Keiichi walked in to check on me. I reassured him I was fine, just a bit tired. Maybe I should have left the tired part out, because he had a worried look on his face when I told him that. After dinner I went straight to bed and Keiichi lay down next to me and stroked my hair. It made me relax and fell fast asleep. The next morning I woke up late, but I got a nice sleep. Keiichi was already downstairs, I thought. I went downstairs and saw and went to the living room. I saw a note on the table:
Dear Rena,
I'm already at work, I hope you had a great night rest.
If anything is wrong, call me. Okay?
Keiichi.
No kiss? Never mind that, maybe I should do something that relax me. Treasure hunting? ...No...
Walk a bit around Hinamizawa? Well I could do that, I suppose...Let's do something else...
Drawing? I could give it a try, I always seemed to enjoy that. I searched for a pencil and paper. I had no luck. I dropped down on the couch and screamed to myself. "I've nothing to do!" So I turned the TV on. I watched it for like ten minutes before I got bored again. I turned the TV off and thought of the club activities. It was never boring these days, we enjoyed it all, even though the punishments were not always fun. I'm missing these days...Okay we still meet up and stuff, but we never did any of these games anymore...The telephone was ringing, so I went over the phone and answered it.
"Moshi-moshi, Maebara Rena is speaking." "Hi Rena-chan~" "Keiichi?" I said surprised "I was just wondering how you were doing." 'Oh...he's still worried about me. He's so sweet~!' I thought"I'm fine, Keiichi" "You're sounding bored." Did he read my mind? "That's totally true..." "Why don't you read a book?" "A book?" "Well, maybe you can read that book about pregnancy which my parents gave us when we married, remember?" "That's a good idea! Thanks Keiichi-kun~!" "No problem Rena" "Hey wait a second..." I said while thinking. "What is it?" "You still have to tell your parents Keiichi! You said you would handle that! And that was a month ago!" I yelled into the phone. "Eh...Uhm...See you later Rena!" He said. "Wai-" He'd already hung up. Keiichi can expect some glares from me when he gets home... I sighed and went to the bookshelf. I grabbed the book about pregnancy and went to the couch. I sat down and started to read. I was very interested and kept reading until Keiichi came home. I didn't even notice he came home until he touched my arm. I flinched and I sighed in relief it was Keiichi. "Have been reading all day?" "I guess..." "So you didn't eat lunch?" "Oops...I guess I forgot the time...gomenasai." Now I noticed how hungry I was, I guess I was so interested that I ignored it. "Then I guess I'll make dinner for you Rena, before you forget that too." "Hau~...I never forgot to make dinner for us!" I pouted. He patted my head and smiled. "You stay here, I'll make dinner." "Make chicken noodles!" I shouted. I swear I saw him face palm.
