Chapter 3: News

"Thoughts"

"Talking"

A week had passed since Sana Kurata and Akito Hayama found out, at age 15, they were gonna be parents. Well, actually they'll be 16 when the baby is born, but still that's pretty young. They tried to stay calm about it, but now it was time to tell their parents.

"Akito, I can't do it." Akito grabbed onto her hand. "Sana, it's now or never. And don't forget I have to tell my dad too." Sana just nodded and she entered the living room. Her mother, Misako was drinking some tea. She turned around and looked at Sana. "Hello, Sana dear. How was school?" Sana and Akito both sat down, ready to tell Misako the news. "Um, okay, but Mama, there's something that I need to tell you." Akito was still holding her hand, giving her some form of comfort. Misako raised her eyebrows at her. "Is something wrong?" Sana just nodded her head. "Yes, but Mama..." She started to shake again. "Please, don't hate me." "What if Mama disowns me? Will she seperate me and Akito? How will she treat Akito? But worse, what if she.. she decides to send me back to Keiko? No!"

"Sana, tell me what's going on?" Misako started to get confused and concerned.

"Sana, just tell her." Akito sat there with the most calmest face. It was as if this whole thing wasn't bothering him. Hah, think again. He was just being strong for Sana.

"Mama, I'm..." She squeezed onto Akito's hand. "I'm pregnant." She started crying. Misako looked at Akito, and he just nodded as he held onto Sana. Sana looked at her mother, and Misako's face hadn't changed. "Mama?"

"Sana, what are you and Akito going to do? This is very shocking news. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Mama, right now, I'm not so sure how I will handle it, but.. I'm defintely going to try. I'm not going to be like Keiko, and I'm gonna keep it. And.. and Akito will help too." Akito just nodded again. "Akito, what is your feelings about this?" Misako was now eyeing Akito, waiting for an answer.

"Well, I feel the same way as Sana. It's my child too, so it's my responsibility to take care of it as well?"

"You both are still in school? How can you afford a child when you still have to finish up school?" Akito started to get slightly scared. Misako was right. How could they afford it. "I.. I don't know, but we can't just give it up either. I'm gonna be there for Sana, and help her as much as she needs it. And, I'm the father, so I have part responsibility too." This time, he stood up out of his seat and started to raise his voice. "And, there's no way I will abandon Sana or the baby either!" Sana was shocked. "Wow." Misako just stared at him.

"Good answer, but it's still a problem. I'm happy the way you're handling it, Hayama. But, you're still kids. I don't think you two can handle it." This made Akito mad.

"Kids this, Kids that! I'm getting really sick of being labeled as a kid! We're not 18, no. But, we're not 5 either! And now we're faced with an adult situation, and we have to handle it AS AN ADULT, NOT A KID!" After that, he sat back down. He didn't mean to shout at the woman, but he wanted to get his point across. "I.. I'm sorry." He put his head down. Now he felt bad.

"Hayama?" Akito looked up at her. "Yes, ma'am?"

"Tell me, have you told your father yet?" He simply shaked his head. "No. But I was going to after this."

Misako started to think. Her daughter was pregnant. It was a huge shock to her. "Sana is so young. But she and Akito are handling it very maturely. What is Sana going to do about her career? It could probably help her as far as money goes. But what about school. She can't just drop out of school. Would she hire a nanny? Oh, boy I'm thinking too far into this."

"Mama." Misako was shaken out of her thoughts, and she looked at her daughter. "Yes?"

"Mama, I have a plan." Akito was shocked. "What? Sana didn't tell me about "A plan."

"I was thinking, obviously it will be 9 months before the baby is even here, and that gives me and Akito time to.. well prepare. I can continue acting. Stay on Child's Toy, do commercials and stuff. That would give us lots of money. I will stay in school. And maybe, after the baby is born, I can hire a private tutor for a couple months.

Misako just stared at her. Sana was thinking very wisely. "But, Sana, what will you do when you go back to school. Hire a nanny? You can't just take the child with you to school."

"It's an option, but part of me is hoping when me and Akito are in school, you could take care of it for us. But, that's not right. It's our responsibility, not yours. Maybe, I should just hire a nanny, I don't know." Misako started to think again, and came up with an answer. "Sana, because you.. and Akito are handling this so maturely, and you've thought of a plan, I will consider helping you out."

Sana and Akito smiled. "Oh, Mama. Are you serious?" Misako nodded. "Yes, but you do know it's gonna be a long 9 months. Hope you know what you're getting yourselves into." Sana nodded. "Yes, I understand. It won't be easy, but we can do it. Right, Akito?" Akito just nodded again. However, his mind was somewhere else. "Now, I've got to tell my dad. How will he handle it?"

"Sana, next order of business. How far along are you?" Sana thought about it. "Umm... about 3 weeks?"

"Okay, I'm going to get you a doctors appointment right away, and get things started. How does that sound."

"Uh, yeah sure, but Mama? Do you think you could tell Rei for me. I don't feel comfortable telling him about this." Misako nodded. Guess she was stuck telling the over protective manager about Sana's pregnancy.

"Hayama, I think you should go tell your father now."

"Thanks, Mama. I'll be home later." Sana and Akito left her house and headed toward the Hayama household.


They walked up the porchsteps to the door and Akito stopped. "Akito, are you okay?" This time it was Akito's turn. Deep down, he was scared shitless. He didn't know how his father was gonna handle it. Misako took it surprisingly well, but his father, well he just wasn't so sure. Sana looked at him, and did the same thing as Akito did for her, she held onto his hand as some form of comfort. Akito looked back at her and they walked into the door. Mr. Hayama was off work today so it was a good day to tell him about it. He was sitting at the dinner table, while Akito's sister, Natsumi made dinner. Akito was never really good at talking about personal things to his family, but now he had no choice. He took a deep breath, and let it out quickly, still holding onto Sana's hand. "Uh, dad?"

Mr. Hayama looked up at his son. "Oh, hello Akito. Sana."

"Hi, Mr. Hayama." Natsumi turned around and she shrieked "Sana!! Long time, no see! Come in, come in!" She started ushering Sana into the dining room for a seat. "Are you staying for dinner? You should!" Natsumi always liked Sana, so this whole attitude wasn't new to her. Actually, anyone you talked to liked Sana. She was one of the most famous teen actresses in the country right now, so of course everyone liked her. Akito quickly spoke up. "Dad? I need to talk to you."

Mr. Hayama looked at his son. "Okay, what is it?" Sana sat down beside Akito and took his hand again. Natsumi sat down too. Akito looked at both of them, all of a sudden getting too nervous for comfort. "Well, here goes nothing."

"Dad, Sana is pregnant.." Before Mr.Hayama got any other ideas, Akito spoke again. "With my child." Natsumi stood right up. "WHAT?? Are you serious? How could you knock up such a sweet, innocent girl?" She pulled Sana into a hug. "Oh, Sana, are you alright? Have you told your mother? But, oh my gosh! I'm going to be an aunt. Oh, my, now I feel old. I just graduated from High School, and my little 15 year old brother is going to be a father!" This caused Akito to blush. He looked at his father.

"Akito, are you serious?"

"Yes, sir." Natsumi butted into the conversation again. "Sana, come with me! Lets leave these two to talk. Plus, you need to open up to me, kiddo!" And she pulled Sana away. "No, Natsumi.. it's alright." But that didn't help, before she knew it, Natsumi had dragged Sana out of the living room. Akito was left to talk to his father, alone. "Akito."

"Yes?" Akito was getting really nervous now.

"So, what are you going to do about this?"

"Well, Sana decided to go through with it, and keep it. And I will obviously be its father."

"But, Akito, you're not ready for a kid right now. You're still a kid yourself." Once again, that "kid" remark made Akito angry, but he kept his tongue quiet. This was his dad, not Misako. "I know, but I can't leave Sana to take care of it by herself. I have to help. It's my responsibility too. And, if I were to abandon Sana, what would that make me? One of those pigs who knock 'em up and run." That last sentence shocked Mr. Hayama. "Yes, that's true, but why doesn't Sana just give it up for adoption."

"She doesn't want to. It would make her feel too much like her real mother."

"Akito, how will you support her. You don't have a job or money, or anything like that. Plus, you got school. It's just impossible."

"Sana said she can still act. And from what I heard, she can make around 1,000,000 just off of a few commercials. The money part is somewhat settled. And school, I'll stay in school. But, Sana will hire a tutor when the baby is born."

"Akito, you're the father, shouldn't you somehow make money too?"

"I know I should, but people won't hire a 15 year old, will they?"

"Probably not. But you should still do something."

"I will." Akito was surprised how this conversation was going. He was expecting yelling and freaking (other than Natsumi) but that didn't happen. He heard footsteps and saw Sana and Natsumi walking back. "Sana told me everything, and I think it's a great idea, dad. Oh, and I could help babysit, and.." Natsumi seemed more excited than anybody right now. Sana smiled at Akito, and sat back down beside him. Mr. Hayama was looking back and forth at Sana and Akito. He simply smiled and nodded at Akito. Akito saw this, and knew, his father understood. Akito couldn't help but smile. So, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. It was looking pretty bright so far, but soon the school would know, their friends would know, and worse of all, the press. With Sana being so famous, the media knew everything. And her being pregnant will definitely make front page news. This made Akito nervous. "Oh, boy. Not the media. They'll learn more about me, and I'll be facing cameras for the rest of my life." "Oh no."

That night, both Akito and Sana's families got together to talk it over. They decided Misako and Mr. Hayama (A/N: I do not know Mr.Hayama's real name. so he will remain as "Mr.Hayama.")would go with them to school tomorrow morning and tell the principal about the situation. Meanwhile, Rei, who had just been informed of Sana's pregnancy, was telling the producers of Child's Toy about it...


The next morning came pretty fast for both families. They had to tell the school, and now everyone there will know about it. When they got to the school, they went straight to the principal's office and told him everything. The principal was shocked, but nodded his head. The principal pulled out a packet from his desk and handed it to Sana. Sana was confused. "What's this?" The principal said "It's a list of private tutors that I know. Just pick the one you like."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, sir!" After the conversation, Misako and Mr.Hayama left the school, and Sana and Akito stayed in the principal's office for a little bit.

"Akito, do you think we can wait to tell our friends? I just don't want them to know yet." Akito nodded his head "Sure." They walked out of the Principal's office in time to get to class. While they were walking, they noticed everyone was whispering and staring at them. "What's going on?"

"Akito! Sana!" They turned around, and they're best friend, Tsuyoshi came running. "Is it true? Is it really true?" Sana and Akito looked at each other confused. "Huh? Tsuyoshi, what are you talking about? What's true?" Tsuyoshi grabbed onto Akito's shoulders "Did you really get Sana pregnant?"

"WHAT?" Akito shoved Tsuyoshi into the wall, and pulled him up by his shirt. "How do you know about this? Who told you?" Sana ran up to stop him. "Akito, stop! Put him down!" Akito complied, and put him down. Tsuyoshi felt bad now. "Guess, Sana doesn't know.. that the whole school knows."

"Tsuyoshi, please, tell us how you found out." Sana looked sad and worried. Nobody was supposed to know about this yet. Akito was staring at Tsuyoshi with eyes saying "You better tell us right now, or else.."

"It was in a magazine. They're being sold in the cafeteria."

"A magazine? Why?" Sana started to panic. If the school had magazines about it, the school knows, and now so do her fans. Sana started to tear up. "No, this wasn't supposed to happen." She ran off to the cafeteria. Akito ran after her. "Sana, stop." But, she didn't respond. They both got to the cafeteria, and everyone was staring at them. They heard whispers like "I can't believe she's pregnant." "Is he the father." "The little slut, didn't know she had it in her." and other things. Sana walked up to the stands with the magazines. Sure enough, on the cover in big bold letters said "Sana's Pregnancy" Akito felt bad for her now. "Great, now she has to face the press, and everything. How much am I gonna bet TV cameras will be outside after school?" "Sigh." He'll have to get used to it soon. This was Sana's life, and now he has to face it too. "Sana? Do you wanna go home?" Sana shook her head. "No. I knew this would happen. Just a little sooner, than I hoped. But, I have to be strong and stick through this. But, just a warning, people are gonna want to interview and bother you too now."

"Yes, I know. I don't like it, but I guess I'll have to get used to it." Sana all of a sudden started to get sick. It was morning after all. "Sana, you okay?" She shook her head "no", covered her mouth, and ran for the nearest restroom.

"Oh, man. Poor Sana. This is gonna be a really long nine months."
