Four months had passed since Hikari found out that she was pregnant now she is enjoying her senior year in highschool.
She started showing now and she had gotten use to the stares of some of the girls at school because she really didn't
care what they thought about her. And Rema wasn't helping matters because she would always spread rumors about
Hikari to her friends. Today Hikari's day started off alright she had gotten up out of bed and she stood infront of the tall
mirror and looked at herself. 'Man..am I getting bigger or what?' she asked herself while looking at the mirror and turning
to the side. After getting ready for school she came out of her room to see Nancy walking to the kitchen hurridly and
Hikari quickly followed her with her bookbag.
"Goodmorning Ms. Nancy," she said walking into the kitchen looking at the back of Nancy and she quickly turned around.
"Morning dear..do you need a ride to school?" Nancy asked walking to the refridgerator and pulled out a carton of juice.
"No ma'am i'm walking to school along with Takeru," she said putting her bookbag in the chair.
"I thought he left early this morning for football practice?" she asked pouring the juice in the cup and giving the cup to
Hikari.
"Oh yeah..I totally forgot..this pregnancy thing has me forgetting things," she said sipping the juice.
"So are you still walking?" she asked while pouring herself some coffee into a mug.
"I think i'm going to catch Cody and Davis on the way," she said finishing her juice and heading towards the door.
"Oh Hikari..you forgot your lunch money," she said walking up to her and giving her the money.
"Thank-you..bye," she said taking the money and going out the door. Halfway down the street she met up with Cody
and Davis near the corner bakery and began walking to school together. Over the past few months Hikari started to see
Davis in a different light now he was more responsible and he isn't as pig headed as he use to be. And him and Cody
became best friends since Ken left two months ago to go to Yale in America.
"So you guys goin to the dance?" asked Hikari while walking down the street with Cody and Davis.
"Yeah..i'm goin with Lacy," said Cody smiling at the thought of him and Lacy at the dance.
"I'm going with Sarah," said Davis while they entered the school yard where all the students were either talking or
playing soccor.
"Well me and Takeru have a doctors appointment and he's taking me out to dinner because he has a night off," Hikari
said while smiling.
"Thats great Hikari..so how long do you have left?" asked Davis while they made their way into the crowded hallways.
"I have five months left...I can't wait," she said slowly rubbing her stomach.
"So do you two know what your having?" asked Cody while they stopped at their lockers.
"We find out when we go to the appointment in four weeks," she said opening her locker. After Hikari, Davis, and Cody
split up going their seperate ways Hkari headed towards the library to do some last minute studying for her Trig class.
Takeru was coming out the lobby and walked down the hallway of the school and saw Hikari sitting in the library. He
walked in and quickly grabbed a chair right beside her and kissed her squarely on the cheeks.
"Hey Takeru..what was that for," she said looking up from her book at him.
"Just to say goodmorning..and to make up for this morning," he said but someone at the next table shushed him and
Hikari snickered at him.
"You have to be more quite while your in here," she said low enough for him to hear her.
"Alright...so are you feeling ok?" he asked taking out his own book and placed it on the table.
"Yeah..but my ankles are getting swollen and you know I use the bathroom alot," she said putting her attention back in
her trig book.
"Yeah..and you know what?" he asked scooting closer to her and smiling.
"What?' she asked turning her attention back to Takeru.
"It will all be worth it when our baby comes into the world," he said turning the pages in his book and Hikari just sat
there and smiled at his comment. The bell began to ring before Hikari could respond and they got up and headed
towards class together. Takeru walked Hikari to her homeroom and gave her a kiss and left to go to his homeroom.
Hikari walked into class and sat down in her desk waiting for Mr. Linh to come in just then Rema walked into the
classroom. Hikari hated having Rema in homeroom with her but she didn't want to stress herself out about it because of
the baby. All during class Hikari was finishing up taking her trig test when she saw Rema sneaking glares at her and she
started feeling uncomfortable. After class Hikari headed to her locker again to get her history book for class and she
didn't see Takeru in the hallways. She waited at her locker for him but he didn't come she started to wonder where he
was and she started to walk to her next class by herself but when she turned the corner she saw Takeru and he was
talking to Rema at her locker. Hikari's heart dropped when she saw them them talking and she turned around and
hurried off the other way to her class without looking back. 'I can't believe this..he said he didn't like her,' she said to
herself while walking past dozens of students and she had accidently bumped into a boy and she told him she was sorry
but all she could think about was Takeru and Rema. Throughout the whole day Hikari's mind was everywhere at that
point and she began too feel unhappy just thinking about it. At lunch time Hikari sat at the table just picking at her food
with one hand holding her head and she was still thinking about them but she didn't see Takeru come into the cafeteria.
Takeru spotted Hikari and went towards the table where she was and pulled up a chair right beside her. Hikari saw him
sit beside her and she scooted away from him and he frowned at what she did.
"Whats wrong babe?" he asked trying to put his arm around her but she scooted away from him again.
"Please don't talk to me now," she said with a stern look on her face just looking at her food.
"What? What did I do?" Takeru asked trying to get Hikari to look at him.
"Takeru..please," she said trying not to look at his face.
"You were fine this morning," he said pressing on but then he looked up and saw Rema walking past the cafeteria and
he got up out his chair and told her he would see her later. Hikari looked up and saw him head out the cafeteria and saw
Rema out there too.' I can't believe him..he just left me by myself to go see Rema,' she thought to herself as Davis and
Cody came to the table with their food.Hikari snapped out of thought and picked at her food again.
"So where was Tk this morning anyway?" Davis asked digging into his food.
"He had practice this morning," Hikari said meekly biting her apple.
"No he didn't..coach canceled tuesday morning practices now," Davis said while looking at Hikari confused.
"What? he never told me this," Hikari said looking at Davis with a sharp look in her eyes.
"Uh-oh...Davis you stepped your foot in it now," said Cody shifting his position in the chair moving away from him.
"So Takeru wasn't at practice where was he?" asked Hikari now getting worried. Back outside the cafeteria Takeru had
caught up with Rema.
"Rema we need to talk," he said after stopping her.
"Yes..so when do you want to do this?" she asked with a smile.
"I really don't want to do this with you but I have to..and don't smile," he said with authority.
"Why? I like it," she said leaning against the bright blue wall. Takeru just shooked his head and Hikari came outside the
cafeteria to see Takeru and Rema talking to each other. Hikari never felt so mad in her life her boyfriend who she was
having a baby with was with Rema who she doesn't doubt was with Takeru this morning. She felt so heated up that
tears began to run down her face and she walked off the other way. After school Hikari walked home by herself and
Takeru tried to catch her but she just ignored him and went off. When she reached the apartment she called Yolie on the
house phone.
"Hello," said Yolie picking up her phone.
" Hey Yolie," Hikari said in a not so cheerful voice.
"What's wrong is the baby ok?" asked Yolie getting worked up.
"Yeah..the baby is ok..it's just me and Takeru," she said fiddleling with the phone cord with her finger.
"What's wrong?" she asked relaxing knowing the baby was ok.
"I think he's..cheating on me with Rema," she said feeling her throat get dry.
"What?why?" she asked bringing the phone closer to her ear.
"First he lied about practice and then I seen him talking to her alone," she said unwrapping the phone cord from her
finger.
"Whoa..he never lies to you," she said biting her lower lip while thinking.
"I know..and it makes me wonder if he's been with her all week," she said getting up and walking around the room.
"Talk to him Kari..and if he is cheating I will come and beat him down for being stupid," she said shifting the phone to her
other ear.
"I'm mad right now I don't want to," Hikari said walking to the window and peeping out of it.
"Oh..I really hope he isn't stupid enough to cheat on you," said Yolie with a sense of anger in her voice.
"Me too Yolie..i'm am really hurting here..I love him so much," Hikari said with a tear falling. Takeru was walking up to the
apartment alone thinking about Hikari and some how felt bad. 'Is it her hormones? what is it? she's been acting strange
today' he said to himself reaching for the door knob and opening the door. Hikari quickly hung up the phone and stormed
to her room when she saw him and Takeru followed her but the door was slammed in his face.
"Hikari..whats the matter?" he asked but she didn't answer luckily she was so angry she forgot to lock the door and
Takeru came in the room. 'Damn!' shetold herself forgetting to lock the door and he walked up to her slowly and she
moved away from him not making eye contact.
"What did I do Hikari?...answer me please so I can make it better," he said trying to get close to her.
"You lied to me you ass," she said now turning around to face him eye to eye.
"What? what did I lie about?" he asked stepping closer to her and grabbing her hands but she snatched her hands back.
"About your practice this morning..where were you Takeru?" she asked making her voice louder.
"Oh..no where honey," he replied knowing it was a lie.
"Yeah right..you were probably with Rema," she said folding her arms and his heart dropped right there.
"Listen Hikari..me and Rema-" he started but was cut off by Hikari speaking.
"Are secret lovers...hmm..what a surprise," she said getting more angry.
"Lovers..Hikari-" he started again but was cut off by Hikari again.
"I saw you two today...you never met me at the lockers and you ditched me at lunch plus you lied about practice," she
said walking around the room.
"Listen..nothing is goin on between me and Rema...I love you," he said following her around.
"Why did you lie to me and why were you talking to Rema?" she asked now crying and seeing her cry really hurted
Takeru.
"Because..i'm in danger of failing my physics class and Rema is the only one that can help," he confessed stopping in his
tracks.
"What? why didn't you tell me?" she asked stopping all of her pacing around the room.
"Because..I didn't want you to worry about it and I left you in the lunch room to talk to her about a study time," he said
feeling even more guilty.
"So you and her aren't secret lovers?" she asked rubbing her arms.
"No...the only lover I have is you," he said moving closer to her and she didn't move back from him this time.
"I feel so stupid..maybe it's my hormones making me emotional," she said wiping her tears and chuckled a little.
"Yeah..and she want's me to study over her house," he said looking at her.
"Oh no you don't..she'll come over here when i'm here," she said folding her arms again.
"Ok ok..it's a deal," he said with kissing her on her forehead and hugging her "I would never cheat on you Hikari," he
contiued softly in her ear.
"But why didn't you tell me you had to study with Rema?" she asked after breaking the short hug and he let out a slight
groan.
"Because...you and Rema are not exactly allies..and I just wanted to get it over with," he said sternly looking into her
eyes.
"Oh..you never lied to me Takeru and when you didn't tell me you had practice..it really hurted," she said again folding
her arms.
"I'm sorry..I was with her studying in the school lobby," he said bringing his head down.
"You need to tell me these things...because you know how she is," she said bringing his head up with one finger. They
were about to kiss but Takeru's phone beeped letting him know he had a text and he had saw that it was Yolie that sent
it and his eyes went wide reading it then laughed at the text.
"What? what's so funny?" Hikari asked looking confused and he stopped laughing but continued to smile.
"Yolie just sent me a threatening message," he said showing it to her and Hikari couldn't help but let out a little laugh.
"Wow..I didn't know things like that were possible to do," she said reading over it again.
"Anyways I love you and no one will ever change that," he said closing his phone and hugging her. They were inches
away from kissing but Hikari's phone went off startling her and Takeru. She answered the phone while Takeru let out a
loud groan and she sushed him placing a finger on his lips.
"Hello," Hikari said dropping her finger from Takeru's lips.
"Kari..it's Tai..umm dad...dad," he said but couldn't find the words to tell Hikari.
"What about dad? is he ok?" she asked getting a little worried over Tai's voice.
"He's..he's..he's dead Kari..dead," he said while crying into the phone. Hikari stood there with her phone to her ear
without moving and her heart began to beat fast and she suddenly fell to her knees with the phone still in her hands
and tears began coming down her cheeks.'Dad' was all she thought.
"Hikari..what's wrong?" Takeru asked getting on both of hie knees so he was eye level with her.
"My dad..he's dead," she said falling into Takeru's arms and cried nonstop into his arms.
A/N sorry for the wait...but hit me back to see how I did so far..
