The tv was on when Light returned home. The ending credits of that terrible show floating on the screen. So much for the hope that she missed it, of course he knew she wouldn't but still he wished she hadn't. That would have made his life much easier. Instead he'd have to find Misa and pray she hadn't done anything stupid. Just as he was about to call out for her he heard the faint sound of coughing. He knew exactly where she was at.

Mentally preparing himself for what he knew he was about to see Light walked into the bedroom bathroom. There he found Misa slumped against the toilet spewing out the contents of her stomach. An unused toothbrush clutched tightly in her hand. Setting the flowers down on the sink Light walked over to Misa, pulling her hair out of the way, he began rubbing comforting circles on her back.

Once she got all she could out of her belly she turned to face Light with a grateful smile. Though she didn't like for him to see her this way she was thankful that he was there to comfort her, she really needed it. After hearing all the awful fat comments Misa didn't think she could handle being by herself right now. She wasn't in the right state of mind. All she could think about was how disgustingly obese she's become. It was no wonder Light was seeing Takada on the side; she was still beautiful unlike her.

Light didn't say a word to Misa as he took a towel and wiped her face. He didn't know what to say to her. She looked so pathetic with tears and mascara streaming down her cheeks. Her bright red lipstick was smeared across her mouth mixed with spear traces of vomit and her hair was like a nest of straw. Yet even in such a distraught state Misa was still by far the most beautiful woman Light had ever seen.

"Why are you doing this to yourself Misa?" he asks in concern.

"Because I'm fat and disgusting! I weigh more than you now!" she shrieks.

"No you're not Misa! You are beautiful! Don't let some assholes on tv make you think otherwise!"

"But they're right! Just look at me, I look like a cow!" she cried.

"No they're wrong. You. Are. Beautiful. Who cares if you put on a few pounds, you still look a hell of a lot better than they do. They're just jealous so they want to bring you down. Don't let them do that to you Misa. You're better than that."

"I look awful Light. You don't have to lie to me. I appreciate it, I really do but all you're doing is making me feel worse about myself." Misa tells him looking down at the floor.

Deciding it would be better to just drop the subject for now Light pulls Misa into an embrace. He held her as tightly as he could to his chest without hurting her. After a few minutes of holding her in silence he finally knew what to say to her.

"I love you Misa. I think you're the most beautiful, amazing, loving, wonderful woman I've ever known even if you don't think it about yourself. And I don't like you hurting yourself, it worries me."

"Oh Light you're far to kind to me. I don't deserve you." Misa gushes burying herself deeper in his arms.

"Well why don't you make it up to me by not being so hard on yourself."

She smiled up at him leaning in for a kiss. Half way she remembered she smells like puke and pulled back. She let out an embarrassed giggle as she leaned her head against his chest instead.

"I'm going to take a shower now. I feel dirty and I just want to wipe the memory of this out of my mind."

"Alright I'll be waiting for you in the bedroom." With that he kissed her on the forehead and left leaving the roses on the sink.

Light got comfortable as he waited for Misa to get out of the shower. After he switched into pajamas he stretched out across the bed with his laptop on his stomach. He sent the Task Force a quick email before mindlessly playing solitaire. By the time Misa finally got out of the bathroom Light had already won seven times. Which made him all the more happier that Misa walked out naked, he needed the entertainment.

He watched her hungrily as she walked over to her closet to change. However as his eyes drank in the sight of her he noticed something odd. For one now that she wasn't covered by clothes he could really see how much weight she put on but that was what was odd. All of the weight seemed to have gone to her abdomen and breasts, which now looked much fuller than normal. To be completely honest she looked even better than before, much healthier, so much in fact she almost seemed to be glowing. And that's when it hit Light. Setting his laptop on the bedside table he got up.

Misa stopped rummaging through her drawers when she felt Light behind her. "Huh what is it?"

"Come here for a second." He beckons.

Misa was about to obey until she saw where he was standing. She really didn't want to be anywhere near that mirror but still Light had asked so she obeyed. When she got to him he took her into his arms and turned her to face the mirror. She turned her face the other way though so she didn't have to see her reflection. It was too hard to look.

"I want you to look at yourself Misa, please." He says turning her face gently.

"I don't want to. Please Light don't make me. I mean I know you're sadistic and that's totally hot and all but please don't do this to me." She begs.

"I have a reason just hear me out okay. Now look."

She did as she was told and cringed at the sight. Was that a stretch mark on her side? Why was Light making her do this, she didn't get it. What was the point of torturing her like this?

"Now tell me Misa what do you see?"

"A huge bulge where my stomach should be oh and stretch marks." She replies sarcastically.

"Alright so obviously you're not getting what I'm trying to show you so I'll just say it. When people gain weight it goes everywhere hips, thighs, abs, arms, etcetera. However you've only grown here," he says moving his hand across her stomach, "and here." He finished grabbing her boobs. "Why do you think that is?"

"How am I supposed to know?" she snaps growing angry.

"I think you're pregnant Misa. That's the only possible explanation for it."

Misa looked up at him in surprise. That wasn't possible and he knew it. He really was torturing her! They both knew all too well she couldn't have children. "What?"

"I know the doctors said you're unable to but nothing else makes sense. Besides remember the other night when you told me all those things about being moody and sick all the time, it all makes sense." He rattles on in excitement.

Misa frowned; he was just getting himself excited over nothing. It was going to kill her when she sees the disappointment on his face when the test comes back negative. She didn't think she could handle it either. The only thing Misa wanted more than Light's child was his last name but she never thought it possible so she tried not to think about it too much. Ever since she was fifteen the doctors have been telling her she would never have children so she saw no point in even trying.

"Light stop! There's no way I am so what's the point in getting your hopes up? I'm just fat!"

"Stop calling yourself fat!" Light shouts. "Look just take a test. If it comes back negative I'll never bring this up again and I'll allow you to call yourself whatever you like."

"It will come back negative because it's impossible for me to be pregnant. If it were I'd have a kid already."

"Just give it a shot okay."

"Fine but when it's negative don't you dare look sad! It's stupid for you to get your hopes up!" She screams.

"That's fine but when it's positive I don't want to hear you say another negative thing about your body." Light says before leaving the room.

"Hey where are you going?"

"To the store. You're taking that test first thing in the morning."

Light was unable to sleep that night. He waited in anticipation for Misa to wake up so he would know if he was going to be a father or not. It wasn't something he let known since Misa told him early on of her inability to have children but Light had always wanted to be a dad. Besides having a kid means he would have an heir to inherit his new world though that was just an added bonus.

Misa was pretending to still be sleeping. She too had been unable to sleep that night. However she didn't want to take that stupid test so she laid there. The only problem was she's had to pee for the past hour and didn't know how much longer she's be able to hold it in.

"Misa I know you're awake."

"No I'm not. You're imagining things." She mumbles.

He laughed, "Sure I am."

"You totally are." She teases stretching out.

With a sigh she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She came out two minutes later holding the tiny test tightly in her hand. Misa handed it to Light as she got back in bed. Snuggling up to him the two stared at the test like it held the secrets to the universe.

"How much longer until we know?" Light asks impatient.

"About a minute." She replies hiding her face with his arm. She didn't want to have to see the minus sign or Light's disappointment.

That last minute dragged by slowly. It seemed like an eternity before anything showed up on the screen. Then finally it was there. A tiny pink plus sign.
