Chapter 3

It's been several months sine Yuki left the Night Class dormitory, and everyone was hoping she was all right. However, nobody knew if she was alive for that matter, she hadn't called out to anyone since she began to live with Kaien.

~~~~~~~~~~YUKI~~~~~~~

"Yuki, are you alright in there?" Kaien asked through the door.

She hesitated before answering, "Yes, I'm all right. Just got lost in thought."

Kaien stood by the door for a moment longer, and soon returned to his normal duties as the chairman of the academy, leaving Yuki by herself.

Was that real? Yuki thought to herself, peering into the mirror. She slowly reached out to the mirror and her hand slowly inched closer to it; and suddenly the reflection began to change. Soon, it wasn't her own reflection she saw; it was an image of a worried Kaname. She hadn't spoken to Kaname for months, so why was she seeing him everywhere all of sudden.

She jumped back and pulled her hand away from the mirror, but something strange happened. Kaname's hand began to reach out to her as if the mirror vanished, and it was just them in the bathroom. Yuki jumped back again into the wall, as she threw the towel at the mirror. As the towel fell from the mirror, Yuki realized that it was indeed all in her head. Kaname wasn't there, nor will he ever be.

It's been five months since I've spoken to Kaname, so why am I constantly seeing him? Yuki thought as she left the bathroom and walked down the hall to Kaien's office.

"You ready to go, Yuki?" Kaien asked as Yuki walked into his office.

She nodded as she put on her winter coat. All Kaien could do was smile at her as her long brown hair rested on her coat.

"What is it?" She asked.

"You just remind me of your mother."

Yuki smiled as Kaien complimented her, she too remembered her mothers' beauty. Almost all other purebloods envied her, not just because of her lifestyle or husband; but simply for her beauty. Yuki was brought back to reality when Kaien placed his hand in the arch of her back to lead her to the doctors.

Kaien reached out to his personal doctor for Yuki's sake, they both knew Kaname would do anything to get Yuki back to him again.

~~~~~~~IN THE HOSPITAL WING~~~~

"I appreciate you coming out on such short notice, doctor." Kaien said, shaking his hand.

"It's my pleasure. How can I turn down my favorite client?"

Kaien chuckled as they waited for Yuki to enter the room. As the reminisced about life, Yuki slowly made her entrance into the room. The doctor, caught off guard, smiled and stood and opened his hand to Yuki.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yuki. Kaien has told me much about you. But, why the switch in doctors? Not that I'm complaining." He chuckled.

"Things were getting too risky with my old doctor. And I didn't want to chance anything."

"What do you mean?" The doctor asked, helping Yuki onto the table.

Yuki looked at Kaien before responding, neither of them knew how he would handle this situation. Yes, he was familiar with the Academy and what occurred here, but they didn't know how he would respond to the given situation.

"Let's just say, for Yuki's sake… a change in doctors was her best decision." Kaien interrupted.

Yuki smiled as she propped herself onto the table, and the doctor smiled and helped her get comfortable.

"I'm ecstatic Kaien recommended me."

"Me as well."

As the doctor began to examine Yuki, he started to observe her physical condition.

"Well, Yuki. The baby is healthy…but it looks as if the baby is growing two times faster than a normal fetus…" The doctor paused.

"Impossible, she's barely seven months pregnant." Kaien said.

Yuki looked at Kaien worriedly, then back at the doctor, "What does that mean?"

"By the looks of this Yuki, I would say your new expected delivery date is in about two weeks, probably sooner. And there's more…"

"What more could there be?"

"Yuki has a higher chance at life, if I perform a c-section."

"But, I wanted to give a natural birth…" Yuki whimpered.

"I'm sorry Yuki…but you body is in a weakened state, and a natural birth could cause severe blood loss leading to death."

"I am a vampire though…"

"Yes, yes. Kaien informed me of your background when you conceived. You becoming human, you had a vampire baby grow inside you for two months. Bu yes, you are vampire; however, this baby has made it impossible for you to give birth naturally," He paused, "I'm sorry, I'll give you a moment."

As the doctor left, Yuki let out a sigh that turned into a whimper.

"Yuki…?" Kaien asked.

"Oh, Kaien…what do I do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do I wait to die? Or do I wait to live?"
