Month 4

Rena's POV

Hmmm...This feels so comfortable...I was still in bed, while Keiichi was downstairs making breakfast. Still, I should get out of bed now. I stood up slowly and walked out of the bedroom. I walked to the bathroom to wash my face, after I did that I dried my face with a towel and hung the towel over the heating. I walked carefully downstairs, to the living room and saw Keiichi in the kitchen. I walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Ohayo Keiichi-kun.." He seemed surprised. "Rena, I didn't expect you out of bed...!" He said honestly. He mumbled something about breakfast in bed for me. I giggled softly. "Sorry Keiichi-kun...Next time better, right?" "Hm...I guess...Well princess~, go the couch. I have to finish this." He had a grin on his face and I knew that he was planning something. "Hau~... Okay..." I went over to the couch. I waited for Keiichi to finish.

I looked down at my belly, I smiled a bit and I rubbed my belly. Something broke in the kitchen and I heard Keiichi curse. I stood up fast, too fast because I became dizzy. I walked woozy to the kitchen and saw Keiichi throw the pieces of a broken plate. "Broke another plate...?" I said, while standing wobbly. Keiichi run over to me. "Are you okay? You seem a bit woozy." He led me to the chair at the dining table. I sat down and the wooziness disappears. Keiichi was done with making our breakfast and served it on the table. We ate our breakfast in silence. I was staring at the window until "Rena?"

"Huh? Sorry..." "Is something bothering you?" I gave a smile "No, I was just staring. It's nothing to worry about." Keiichi sighed with a smile. "Sometimes, Rena, you make me wonder where you are when you're staring." "Uhm...Somewhere...?" What kind of question was that? I shrugged and stood up.

I picked up the dishes and was about to clean them, but Keiichi wanted me to take it easy. I'm only four months pregnant! I pouted when I walked away from the kitchen. I went upstairs and heard Keiichi yelling something like 'Come back, please'. I felt a bit angered so I slammed the door of our bedroom shut. I walked over to the bed and let myself fall down on the bed. Ugh, Keiichi is acting different ever since I had that panic attack and it didn't come again. So what's he exactly worried about? I sighed because I already knew the answer. He is worried about the baby and is scared that something happens to our both. It's a good reason, but I just don't like the overprotection. The door opened and Keiichi rushed over to my side. "Rena..." I looked at him with a look which was saying 'what do you want?'. "Why are you so...so-" "Distracted? Angry? Annoyed?" I said a bit angry to him. He looked offended. "It's because you're not you! Normally you would let me do what I want and say 'be careful', but now...You...You...You don't let me do anything! You're too overprotective, Keiichi!" I saw he was hurt. I felt so guilty now, so I let myself cry. I don't deserve someone like Keiichi. "I-I'm sorry! I-I was a bitch for saying that! I'm s-s-so sorry!" Keiichi pulled me close now. He whispered in my ear. "It's okay...Please calm down Rena..." It took me a while before I really stopped crying, but it stopped now. Keiichi gave me a small smile. "Now you look a lot prettier, Rena-chan." I blushed slightly. "B-but I must look horrible now..." "Nah, you look fine, just a little red." He kissed my forehead. I hesitated, but I kissed him on the lips, he didn't seem to expect it, but he kissed me back. I backed off when my back hurt. "Something wrong Rena?" He was worried again. "I'm fine, it's just my back..." "Does it hurt again...? Poor Rena..." He rubbed my back carefully. "Maybe you should lie down?" He suggested. "No...That doesn't work...!" I told him very irritated.

"What can I do for you then...?" "Nothing...Maybe I should go for a walk..." He looked at me. "Are you sure? I mean are you well enough to go outside?" I sighed. "I'm fine. If you're too worried, you can join me." He grinned at me. "Did you really thought that I would let you on your own, princess~?" He picked me up in bridal style and he walked downstairs. He put me down. "Don't forget to bring your coat with you. The weather broadcast said that it could rain today." I nodded when I got my coat. When he got his coat, he opened the door and we walked outside. He locked the door and we began our walk. The first minutes were quiet, and then we started to talk a little. "So Keiichi... You told your parents, right?" He laughed nervous. "You didn't?!" I screamed. "Anou...You see, when I called them my father was asking all kind of questions and I couldn't tell him because he and mom had to go somewhere..." "And when did you call?" I asked while raising an eyebrow. "Uhm...Yesterday..." Okay, this made me angry. He was supposed to tell them like 3 months ago! I whacked him on his head. "O-oi! Where was that for?" "Hau~! Keiichi-baka! You were supposed to tell them earlier! You told me 'Don't worry' and yet you decided to tell them since yesterday! Even my father knew it earlier than your parents." I said very pissed. Tears of anger formed in my eyes. "I'm sorry Rena, but my job...It made me forget to tell them and-" "Save the excuses!" I yelled when I walked away from him. "R-Rena!" He yelled when he followed me. He grabbed my arm and let me face him. I struggled, got free from his grip and pushed him on the ground when I ran away.

I heard him yelling after me. I ran away until I felt some pain in stomach. I let myself drop on the ground and I start to cry again. I hugged myself in pain. I felt someone hugging me. "R-Rena! Calm down!" I knew it was Keiichi. I could feel his tears falling on me and the pain in stomach slowly disappeared. "K-Keiichi-kun..." I whispered when he hugged me tighter. "I'm sorry Rena...I'm sorry for being like this...I just want you to be okay..." We stayed like this, until it started to rain. Keiichi immediately put on his coat, so did I. We stood up and walk fast to our way home. "Does it still hurt?" "Eh? What?" "Your stomach, you seemed in pain." "Oh, no I feel fine now." I gave him a small smile. He pulled me closer while walking. I looked at him. "I want you to stay close to me..." "Why...?" He pointed at the man who was about to pass us. How come we always pass him while we're walking? It was otou-san. Keiichi and I tried to ignore him, but he gave us a nasty glare. I hated the feeling I got right there. I sighed when he was far away from us. "Was he trying to burn our souls with his glare...?" Keiichi mumbled. "I guess." "Hey don't worry about it, I'll protect you from any harm." "I know..." When we were almost home we saw that a window was broken. Keiichi told me to wait before entering our house. "I'm going to inspect the house for any intruders, okay?" I nodded and gave me a kiss on my forehead before he went to the front door.

Keiichi's POV

I entered the house and looked around. There was nothing broken in the hall, so I went to the living room since there was a window broken there. The only thing I saw was a stone which was thrown in. "Damn kids..." I mumbled, before actually thinking. Then I suddenly thought it also could've been Rena's father. I sighed and walked outside. When I was outside I noticed that Rena was gone.

"Rena?" There was no answer. "Rena quit this joke and come here." I said a bit irritated. Still, there was no answer. "Maebara Rena, give an answer now!" I heard a noise, which was coming from our garden. I ran over to it and saw Rena throwing up. "G-gomen Keiichi-kun...for not answering..." She said softly when she turned to me. I walked over to her and supported since was shaking a little. "It's okay Rena, but why did you go our garden?" "W-well...I wanted to see if something happened to our garden, but when I was there I threw up suddenly. I hope I won't throw up more often..." "Rena, the next time when I tell you to wait, please stay where you are, okay?" She nodded.

We were inside now and I was calling someone to fix our window. I covered the window with layers of old newspapers. I hope it won't rain harder! I told Rena to go upstairs, put on some dry clothes and lie down on bed. She complained about lying on our bed and that she could lie down on our couch. I told her 'no' since it could be cold in the living room now. So she isn't exactly happy about the broken window at the moment. I went upstairs to check on Rena. I opened the bedroom door and saw Rena sleeping on the bed. I got a small smile on my face, she always looks cute when she's asleep. I went to the closet to pick other clothes since my clothes are dirty and wet. I changed my clothes and wanted to go back downstairs since Rena was doing fine. I walked over to the door "Keiichi-kun...?" I turned around and walked over to her. She sat up and gave me a smile. I sat on the bed and gave her a smile too. She got closer to me and kissed me. I kissed her back and it went on for a few minutes. Then she pulled away, but we were still very close. She had a small grin on her face. "Can I go downstairs now?" She said. That little evil! "Did I only get my kisses because you want to go downstairs?" "I might did or not. You'll never know~!" "Okay, since you don't tell me it will be a good punishment for not telling me." I had a grin on my face now. "Hau~! You're so mean Keiichi-kun!"

She whined. "That's your own fault for not telling me Maebara-chan~." I teased. "Fine, I kissed you because I wanted to and then I thought I might be able to get downstairs now. Are you happy now?" She said a bit irritated. "Hm, I don't know.." I still teased. She gave no answer and she didn't face me. "Rena?" She didn't turn around, so I put a hand on her shoulder. She faced me and I saw that some tears were rolling down. "Rena...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you cry, I was only teasing you a bit...I'm so sorry" She rubbed her tears away. "You know...Sometimes you go too far with the teasing..." She said when new tears were appearing in her eyes. She rubbed them away again. I stroked her cheek. She gave a small smile. I stood up and helped Rena up. "Okay, you can go downstairs, but I'm warning you for the cold." She nodded. We went downstairs and sat down on our couch. Rena was staring to a photo which was hanging on the wall. It was our wedding picture. "About 7 months ago we just got married..." I said. She nodded "It is not that long ago...It was really nice...Too bad my father ruined the ending." She said sadly.

Flashback

On our after-party Rena and I were dancing. We looked to each other with love and happiness.

"Keiichi-kun, I'm so happy now..." She whispered close to my ear. "I'm too my sweet Rena." I kissed her on the lips. Then suddenly the door opened. It was Rena's father. "Otou-san!" Rena said. The guests were saying things like 'Why wasn't he at the wedding?' 'What is he doing?' and more. He glared with pure hatred to me. I don't think he was sober, he seemed really drunk. He walked over to me and yelled "You! You stole my daughter without my permission!" He got me in a strong grip.

"Otou-san! Stop hurting him!" Rena almost broke out in tears. He hit me on my head and I fell hard on the ground. I almost lost conscious. He was about to hit me again, but Rena got in front of me. Her father hit her instead of me, she also fell down on the floor and lost conscious. I got her close to me and cried softly "Rena..." Tears were rolling down before I lost my conscious. When I woke up me and Rena were in the same hospital room. When they let us go with our bruises, they told us about the huge depression of Rena's father and that he got in jail for like 2 days since he was drunk. Rena felt really bad, but we went on our honeymoon before he got out. Rena and I decided it was the best not to invite Rena's father for anything. "We're only doing this for our future..." "Okay Keiichi-kun..."

End flashback

"Well, he didn't ruin our marriage. Too bad our first night as a married couple was in the hospital! That's not very common though, maybe special." She giggled softly "Yeah, that night was very special. It was so special that we almost slept through that night." "Well it's a good thing that it wasn't a plain night." Rena stood up "I'm going to make us some lunch!" "Do you need some help?" "Maybe I do." I got up and we made our way over to the kitchen.

A/N: I had a writer's block :( , so this chapter is not very good. I dislike how it turned out and had almost no inspiration. (It's also a bit rushed...) I'm sorry for letting you wait for this chapter.
