Mitsuki sat and waited…..and waited….and waited. She could hardly believe that the place she used to get shots, checkups, throat checkups, etc. was the place where she was about to put an end to a living thing inside her.
She tried her hardest not to think about it but last night she was up searching abortion facts. She would most likely would have a surgical abortion because she's 3 weeks along. The thought of someone sticking something "up there", she wanted to vomit. She then had a dream about the embryo inside her stomach smiling and being happy that it was going to have a family and then it discovers that someone doesn't want it and kills it. Mitsuki cried at the thought of it.
She looked around the clinic. She saw one couple anxiously at each other and waiting to find out the babies gender. She saw a threesome of two men and a women just waiting to for a normal checkup but the men were still excited to find out how the baby was doing; it was cute. She then noticed a very young looking girl, most likely 16, sitting with her parents. Her head was on her dad's chest and he gently stroked her hair as he mother patted her back, they were waiting to find out if she was pregnant or not. Mitsuki noticed that everyone had someone to lean on and be with, unlike her. Takuto told her this morning that he had to go to school and she would be fine on her own. She wished he was there so she could have someone petting her hair or holding her hand to help her get through this, but she sat alone.
I heard the door click open. I turned around to see a woman who was also alone. She looked mid twenties and was tall. She had long brown hair, pale skin, and dull gray eyes. She turned to look at Mitsuki and softly smiled, Mitsuki weakly smiled back. The woman walked over to Mitsuki and asked kindly, "May I sit here? You and I seem to be the only one's without company so maybe we could become each other's company?" Mitsuki smiled and said, "Yes, you may. I'd like that very much,"
Turns out the woman's name was Alice, she's actually an American. She and her boyfriend moved to Japan about a year ago so they could study Japanese culture and other elements. She has a degree in art and is 6 weeks pregnant.
"Why isn't your husband- I mean boyfriend here with you?" Mitsuki asked out of curiosity.
"He's visiting his family. This is my first check up but hey it's better than having an abortion! What's up with you?" She said. She turned to see Mitsuki's head lowered in gloom and despair. "Oh…..so you're getting an abortion?" She asked nervously. Mitsuki's head slowly bobbed up and down. "Why? I mean sorry if your all pro choice or whatever but just curious," Alice asked.
"w-w-well you see…..My boyfriend, Takuto Kira, wanted me to get an abortion because were so young and can't afford to pay for something so expensive as a baby…it's for the b-b-best…" Mitsuki said while she held back the million tears that we about to stream down her face.
Alice looked at Mitsuki for a little bit then she raised her head. She began to pat mitsuki on the back. "My boyfriend wanted me to do the same thing. He told me a child was the last thing we needed. Of course, my mother had a long talk with him about how she needs grandkids and she will do anything to keep that baby alive. Also, if this Takuto really love you, I'm sure he would understand how you feel about this. Right?" Alice said smiling at Mitsuki.
Mitsuki looked up and realized something, the moment Takuto found out she was pregnant she had no saying in what to do with the baby. Instead, she just agreed with him even though that was the last thing she would want to do to the baby. In fact, she was hoping to keep the child and raise it. But why would she automatically agree with what Takuto wanted? Was it because she was scared of losing him?
Yes, that's exactly why she agreed with him. She didn't want to lose the person who she cared most for in this world. So she only focused on Takuto and his "worries" and ignored her own beliefs. At first she thought that she did this because she loved him, which was in a way related to the case, but it was more about the fear of him leaving her alone.
"Right?" Alice said again. Mitsuki woke up from her train of thoughts and looked back up to Alice.
"R-r-right?" Mitsuki said slowly with a weak smile on her face. Alice smiled back at her and patted her on the back.
"Mitsuki K.? Is there a Mitsuki K here?" The Nurse called out. Mitsuki looked up and grabbed onto Alice's hand. Alice squeezed it and smiled.
"Go on. You can do it," She said gently. Mitsuki nodded with a serious expression on her face. She slowly walked over to the nurse.
"Are you Mitsuki K?" The nurse said looking at her. Mitsuki was staring down at her feet and she gentle bobbed her head, "Well, you are scheduled for an abortion so let's go young lady." The nurse said as she started walking away.
"Wait," Mitsuki said. The nurse turned to her in slight confusion, "I-I-I would like to cancel my appointment, I won't be getting an abortion," She said with confidence in her voice. The nurse looked at her and just shrugged and walked away.
Mitsuki walked back over to Alice with a happy smile on her face. Alice stood up and gave Mitsuki a hug. Mitsuki felt over joyed and happy knowing that she was no longer going to be taking a humans life.
"Alice Jones? Is there an Alice Jones here?" Another nurse called.
Alice turned to Mitsuki and smiled, "While that's me. Hey, maybe we should hang out sometime," She said.
Mitsuki smiled and nodded, "Yes. I would like that very much,"
Alice smiled and took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to write something on it. She ripped it out of the notebook and gave it to Mitsuki, "Here's my number. I'll see you around Mitsuki,"
Mitsuki smiled and waved goodbye. She then proceeded to leave the doctor's office. She couldn't control this glee that glowed from her body as she walked down the street. That was until she received a phone call, a phone call from none other than Takuto.
