The next morning, I awoke and stood from the bed only to have a feeling of nausea wash through me. I quickly sat back down onto the bed. I looked over to see if my fiancé was in the bed with me, only to find it empty. A note lay on his pillow. I reached over and unfolded the piece of paper. His neat scrawl greeted my vision.

Yuki,

I'm sorry to leave you. But I've been called on business once more. I'll see you when I get home.

Love,

Kaname

I once more attempted to stand from the bed. The nausea seemed to worsen. Bile began to rise up into my throat.

'Oh no!' I thought quickly before running into the bathroom. I fell to my knees before the toilet and heaved. After many minutes of this, I stood from the tile. A thought occurred to me, 'Kaname and I never used a condom…' My hand moved to my stomach of it's own accord. I stared at my stomach in shock. 'Now, calm down,' my thoughts attempted to soothe, 'you don't even know if you're pregnant or not…' With that thought repeating in my head, I walked toward the sink and splashed water onto my face. I continued my morning routine that I had when I was human. Even though a small part of me told me that I didn't need too. 'Some normalcy. Something to keep me from thinking about it…' I stumbled down the stairs and into the living room. 'I wonder if mom had some books in here about pregnancy?' I wondered as I walked toward the bookcase. 'Ah ha.' I pulled the dusty book from the shelf and sat in the red armchair. Eagerly, I began to read from the beginning.

I placed the book onto the coffee table and stared at it. During my study, the dust on the book had worn away. Unfortunately, it had chosen my clothing to wear off on. For some reason, the dusty state of my clothes didn't bother me as much as the information I had just taken that was now running a marathon in my head.

'Human pregnancy and vampire pregnancy in terms of conception and birth are the same. Both will experience morning sickness, hormone imbalance, and cravings,' I closed my eyes as the information repeated in my head. I heard the sound of a car pulling up. 'Oh no!' I stood quickly and placed the book back in it's place and tried to wipe the dust off my clothing.

"Yuki, I'm home," I heard Kaname call. I walked into the front of the house.

"Kaname," I greeted with a smile before hugging him. "How was your day?"

"It was alright," he was staring at me suspiciously. I smiled lightly.

'I was always a horrible actress…' My thoughts berated, as he stared at me. 'Would it really be a bad thing to be pregnant with Kaname's child?' A voice in the back of my head asked me.

'It could ruin him…if the council figured out…they don't even know of my existence. Much less Kaname's engagement to me. Imagine what would happen if he introduced me to the council and I was with child?'

'The council wouldn't dare question a Pureblood.' The voice answered back. And Kaname himself would probably be delighted that you might be carrying his child. Why not tell him? He's going to find out eventually anyway. I mean you're going to show and you're probably going to have morning sickness again. What about the cravings you read about? Kaname's not stupid. He's going to find out and will probably be hurt that you didn't tell him…'

'You're right.'

'Of course I'm right, I'm you. Just the more rational thinking side of you.'

"Yuki, are you alright?"Kaname questioned, breaking me out of my conversation with myself.

"I've really got to get out of this house. I'm starting to have conversations with myself…" I mumbled.

"What?" I looked back up at him to see his amused and slightly confused expression.

"Nothing!" I blushed brightly. "I'm fine."

'Tell him,' the more rational side demanded.

"Kaname," I sighed. He looked at me; his expression suddenly serious as if he sensed that what I was about to tell him would be important.

'But then again, he knows everything.' My thoughts suddenly sounded oddly enough like Zero. I shook my head.

"I think," I paused in an attempt to gain the courage to tell him, "I think I'm pregnant!" I blurted out. I stared at him as his eyes widened and his mouth fell open. I felt a slight sense of pride that I had shocked the usually calm Pureblood, but that feeling of pride was overcome by nerves. Kaname smiled. "WHOA!" I yelped as he swept me up into his arms and spun me in a circle. I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you!" He whispered over and over again as he set me down.

"Kaname, I said might," I whispered. "I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. I just think I am."

"Yuki, it's impossible for vampires to catch the stomach bug or any type of human illness, but pregnancy-"

"Is the one thing that vampires and humans have in common," I ended his sentence for him, "I read up on it." I laid my head on his shoulder as another wave of nausea torn through my body.

"I told the council of your existence today. They wish to meet you," Kaname informed me.

"When?" I mumbled.

"They are arranging a ball in your honor. They're calling it you're 'coming out' party," I could hear the displeasure at this in his voice.

"If you did not wish for me to be exposed to the public then why did you introduce me to a group full of gossiping old men?" I questioned, unable to keep from jabbing at the council. Kaname rewarding me with a slight chuckle.

"Because they would have eventually figure out that I'm hiding something."

"But it would be unwise for them to question you."

"True, but there are few on the council that will do so."

"So if you came in late one day, they wouldn't mind now?" I asked.

"I'm sure they would," he smirked and leaned in closer to me, "Why plan on keeping me in bed for a while?"

"I don't think it would be that hard," I turned with a wink and began to walk toward the stairs. Halfway up the staircase, I heard Kaname say:

"You thought correct."

Before he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. He carried me towards our bedroom.
