A/N: Hi guys! Bloody Rose 1996 here! As I write this chapter, Lil-Miss-Pokémon is playing Professor Layton: The Lost Future. It's a good but tiring game! I love Future Luke *fan girl squeal* …ahem, anyway, I now bring you Chapter 11 of Futuristic Premonitions!
With a small groan, I rose back into consciousness. That sense of dread I had felt back with Shu earlier didn't seem to want to leave. Absentmindedly, my thoughts drifted back to what Schneider had said a while ago.
Chances are that there are only so many futures you can have. So when the last future is predicted, you will return to your present time. It's then that you'll have to choose.
I gulped a little, and my eyes opened suddenly as I came to the startling realisation that my time was nearly up. I had to choose soon. It made my insides churn with nervousness. I felt a tear slide down my cheek. I so badly wanted to just to go back to my original time; to be free from all of the situations I was unwillingly getting thrown into. I had to admit; it had been fun seeing what my future would be like in many different ways, but not all of the time. I remembered how scared I was when Shu had tried to…well, it was better if I didn't remember.
But the fact that I had to choose who I would be with for the rest of my life frightened me dearly. I felt as if I was cheating; choosing one over the rest of them, when I knew their futures, so I knew what they were going to be like.
I couldn't help but gasp when I felt warm lips brushing against my cheek, wiping away the tears that I didn't know I had been crying.
"What's wrong, Kluke? Why are you crying?" a calm voice whispered, and my eyes widened in recognition.
"Jiro? Is that…you?" I croaked, wincing at my dry throat started to ache.
"Here. Drink this," he murmured, sitting up and handing me a glass of water. I nodded to him, and gulped it down; gasping in relief as the aching in my throat died down.
"Thank you," I whispered, and he nodded, taking the glass from me and setting it down on the bed-side table, before leaning over and capturing my lips with his. The gesture took me off guard, so it was no surprise that I responded immediately to his kiss; wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer.
As soon as our bodies touched, I groaned, and pulled back, clutching at my stomach as it rippled in agony.
"Kluke? What's wrong?" Jiro asked, his voice displaying his worry and concern.
"My…stomach…it hurts," I gasped through the pain, and he leaned down, pressing his lips against my stomach, causing me to freeze.
Almost instantly, the pain died down, and all that was left was this uneasy feeling in my gut.
"Honey…I think…" Jiro began, pausing for a second, before continuing, "I think…you're pregnant again."
My whole world seemed to freeze up, as I stared at Jiro's calm face.
"…Pregnant?" I whispered, and he nodded, taking my hand and placing it on my stomach.
"Maybe you should take a pregnancy test…just to be sure," he suggested, and lifted my up out of bed, and took me towards the bathroom.
"And don't worry; I'll look after Gina while you're in there. She'll be fine," Jiro said, and I gave him a confused look, but thought no more of it. Chances are that I probably didn't want to know.

I walked out of the bathroom, to see Jiro laying on the bed with a young girl sitting with him. She was around three, from what I could tell, and she had long brown, curly locks that seemed to flow down her back like a waterfall. She glanced up at me, and the grin she gave seemed to melt my heart a little. So this was Gina. I remembered the previous premonition with Jiro; and how he had mentioned that Gina was staying with distant relatives, so that we could have some time to ourselves.
Her eyes were a beautiful sea-blue, just like Jiro's.
"Mummy!" she giggled happily, and I smiled, and sat down on the bed with her and Jiro, patting her head gently.
"How are you?" Jiro asked, and I glanced at him, before tilting my head in the direction of the bathroom. I didn't want to say in front of Gina.
With a nod and a smile, he got up, and walked into the bathroom.
"Mummy, where's Daddy going?" Gina asked, and I smiled at her, rustling her hair a little.
"Don't worry. Daddy's not going to leave you," I said, and she giggled, and clambered into my lap, earning a surprised laugh from me.

I watched cautiously as Jiro wandered out of the bathroom, his face a mask for the time being.
"Gina…why don't you go and play outside? Daddy will join you in a minute," Jiro whispered, and Gina laughed, before kissing mine and Jiro's cheeks gently, and skipping out of the room.
I yelped out in shock as I was flung into Jiro's arms, and he kissed me deeply. I kissed him back, sighing in happiness. This…it felt so nice.
"…I didn't think I'd react like this a second time, but it always seems to catch me off guard,' he murmured, once our lips had parted. I smiled, and pulled him in for another kiss, trailing my tongue along his bottom lip. He allowed me entrance, and I took no time in exploring his mouth with my tongue. He moaned, and pulled me underneath him, and I blushed madly as our lips parted once again.
"Kluke…" he whispered, and I gave him a sincere smile.
"Yes, Jiro?"
"…I love you so much."
The statement caught me off guard, so all I could do was smile at him, and pull him in for another kiss.
"I love you too, Jiro," I whispered once our lips had parted, and I watched in happiness as his mouth formed a wide grin, and he moved his lips to my neck, kissing along my jugular, causing me to shudder.
"Mummy? Daddy?" I heard a small feminine voice from behind the door call, and my eyes widened.
"Don't worry, Gina. Daddy will come and play with you in a while. You go and play outside for a little bit longer. Daddy will join you in a while," Jiro murmured, kissing a trail along my neck, and I had to try my hardest not to let out a moan.
"It's no fun when I'm on my own," I heard Gina mutter sulkily, and I glanced at Jiro, before pushing him off of me, and pointing to the door.
"Go," I mouthed, and he smirked, before getting up, stretching, and walking to the door.
"Later," he mouthed back, and I blushed, but smiled nonetheless.

I grinned happily as I watched Jiro and Gina from the bedroom window. Gina was sitting in the middle of a tire attached to a rope that was suspended from a large oak tree at the back of the garden. I liked the look of the garden immediately. The way that the Sun always seemed to be shining on one certain spot; it made the garden look like a warm, happy place.
I couldn't help but laugh as Gina tried to push Jiro on the tire swing. So this was what it felt like to have a family…
I found myself going out into the sunshine, and sitting down on the grass, watching the duo playing together happily. I couldn't suppress my giggles when Jiro fell out of the tire swing, to land in a heap on the ground.
Gina came running over to me, and began tugging on my arm.
"What is it, Gina?" I asked, causing her to tug harder at my arm.
"I want to push Mummy!" she explained, and I couldn't help but wince at the pain I was beginning to feel in my stomach. Jiro saw it as well, and he began to walk over to us.
"No, Gina. Mummy needs to rest," he murmured, placing a hand on Gina's shoulder. She continued to tug at my arm, however, forcing me to move, so that I could stand.
"Don't worry, Jiro. It's perfectly fi-ah!" my sentence was cut short by the sharp jolt of pain that exploded from my stomach.
I fell to the floor in agony, but before my head could smash against the hard earth, I was caught by warm hands.
"Mummy? What's wrong with Mummy?" I heard Gina yell, and I suddenly heard the sobs from her.
"Sshh…it's okay, Gina. Mummy's just tired," Jiro explained, lifting me up in his arms, causing me to groan loudly in pain.
"I'm going to take Mummy inside, so she can rest. Alright?" Jiro asked, and Gina nodded, wiping her tears away.
"Okay, Daddy. Get better soon, Mummy!" I heard Gina whisper, and I felt her lips against my forehead, before I was carried inside…

Jiro laid me down gently on the bed, before sitting down beside my rigid form.
"What happened?" he asked, feeling my forehead. I opened my eyes to stare at him, olive irises meeting glistening blue.
"…When Gina tried to pull me up, I felt a pain in my stomach. It hurt so much, I…" I was interrupted by another pain, this time to my head, and I gripped it tightly, hissing in pain.
"Kluke!" Jiro yelled, lifting me up into a sitting position, so he could hold out a glass of water.
"Here. Take this," he sighed, placing a tablet in my hand. Without so much as a thought, I swallowed the tablet; downing the water in a few gulps.
"It should stop the pain. Here, let me just…" he stopped speaking, and lifted a pillow up, so I could lean on it. I slumped back into the pillow with a sigh, and my eyes rested on Jiro's blurry form.
"Jiro…I'm so…tired," I whispered, my eyes beginning to droop. No! I didn't want to leave! Not yet! Just a little while longer…
"Go to sleep, Kluke. Get some rest," he murmured, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.
"No…I…"
"Kluke…I know it's you," he whispered. I was confused; of course it was me. Who else would it be? It was then that I realised what he meant. I wasn't his Kluke. I was the Kluke from 6 years ago.
"…How long have you known?" I asked, trying to stay conscious.
"…Since you woke up," he answered, and my eyes attempted to widen in shock.
"…Wh…What? Why didn't you tell me you knew?"
"Because I didn't want to spoil it for you. I told you, all those years ago; if you didn't want to think about the situation, I would try my hardest to take your mind off it," he explained, and I leaned forward, kissing him gently on the forehead.
"…Thank you, Jiro. That…means…a lot… to me…" I whispered, my eyes finally closing in defeat. I went limp, and the last thing I heard was Jiro's concerned yells.
Thank you, Jiro, I thought, as I plummeted back into unconsciousness, this will be…the last time I see you….
