65. The Baby Is...
'Is This Yours?"
Nanami gasped as she looked at the object in her mothers hand, she she should of shoved it in his pants pocket, but then again she could harshly fit in his jeans herself so. That wasn't going to work.
She swallowed as Her mother stood up, the water was running in the shower as the woman stared at her, her eyes pertrefied. Nanami swallowed, but it felt like she was swallowing a knife. She bit her lip as she looked at the pregnancy test, she was still pale from finding out herself.
" M-Mom..I.." She choked as the woman gasped and looked at her shocked, His brown hair bobbed as she covered her mouth and dropped the test on the ground. He was shaking and Nanami didn't know if it was rage or disappiontment.
" WHY!?" The woman snapped in shock, but tears were in her eyes. Nanami swallowed and looked down as the woman looked at her worried, and almost appalled; but the girl wasn't sure if that was so. Nanami bit her lip as Her mother breathed and looked up at the roof,
" What did I do?" She choked, " Did I mess up? Did I not give you enough love?" She whined and grabbed Nanami's shoulders, The girl grew stiff as she tried not to cry when the woman gripped her shoulders harshly. She was getting scared from her mothers look before she started to sob when Her mother shook her shoulders weakly,
" TELL ME! I know your not a slut! So what happened!?" The woman choked as Nanami started to cry, tears ran down her face. She knew she was the innocent one, she knew she wasn't one to sleep with anybody, or to like them at all.. but..
" Mama, " Nanami Choked, " I LOVE HIM!" She suddenly started to cry from her mothers constant shaking, she was expecting a slap, a hit or to be cussed out. She wasn't expecting to be pulled into a hug, her breath paused as Gwen swallowed her own worry and anger.
This was her daughter, and she would not stoop so low as getting so mad that she did something unforgivable. She held the crying girl close before breathing, she didn't know what to yet.. This was so much to take in, A baby? From her baby? She knew it was possible but it was hard to imagine.
She gently let Nanami sit on the bed, Stroking the girls hair as she tried to calm her down. Nanami hiccuped before trying to breath, She looked at her mother confused, Wasn't she going to hit her? Hate her? Disown her?
Nanami swallowed, " I'm sorry.. " She choked, " It had happened so fast, neither of us knew what was happening till it ended." She choked as The woman sighed out and nodded, she gently patted her daughters head.
" I take it you want to keep it?" She whispered. She felt Nanami nod and she smiled, That was her girl. She sighed out and looked up at the hotel roof before swallowing, " Whos is it?" She whispered, making her daughter freeze.
Gwen blinked as Nanami got quite and looked away slightly, her face seemed to be red with the thought of telling her mother, plus there was the fact it was 'HIs' baby, it wasn't anyone elses; He was the only one, And He was the only one that had her heart. She don't know how it happened, or why she had started to have a crush on Tomoe, after all the years she was surprised she was so dense as to think he was just a friend in his eyes, and she wondered if she was still just a friend,
A friend he slept with..
Nanami swallowed, " You.. You can't tell his parents." She looked at Gwen weakly, " They treat him harshly..' She choked slightly as The woman blinked. Nanami then hugged her knees and tried to breath, This was a big step, and they lived in the mans house for all matters. She lived in the house with the man and Tomoe, as they kissed about on each other that night, admitted to her in the dark, that the man was cruel to him.. and that he had no clue as to what to do.
She remembered hearing the pain and bitterness in his voice, even though she coudl not see his face. He whispered so muc to her that night, but it was all to do with how much hurt and pain his father was giving him, and some things she rather keep to herself...
The girl flushed slightly as she swallowed and buired her red, hot face in his knees,
" The baby.." She choked as Gwen looked at her worried. Gwen had been so shocked, She wasn't expecting her little girl, the one she saw as being so innocent? The one she trusted? She didn't think she woudl sleep with anyone and now be the bearer of their child,
She looked at Nanami as the girlbreathed in and finished her sentence, the sentence that shocked Gwen, but made so much sense in return..
" Is Tomoe's.." Nanami whispered as she looked at Her mother weakly.'
Gwen blinked and tried to fit the pieces together, and then it seemed to snap together in the woamns head, making her grimace slightly at the thought of it all.
Oh dear..
Kurama sighed out as Tomoe swallowed harshly, He patted his shaking back as Tomoe coughed and then groaned slightly from his puking spell. The tengu had stayed by him, even after he found out about the manner of him sleeping with Nanami. It shocked him, angered him.. But he was not going to act like he was better then him in this subject. It wasn't his place to do so.
Right now he had the strong fear though, that sense Tomoe was puking that maybe, there was a little life invovled. He knew Tomoe, and he knew he'd probably not be able to take raising a baby... but it was his responsiblity to take.
Thats when the bathroom door came open and Mizuki walked in and placed his bag down in a hurry, " Is he okay?" He muttered slightly and Kurama grimced when he asked him something like that. Did he truly look okay?
He had welts and bruises, he was puking and he was shaking violently from it all. Kurama knew the cause of the sickness, But Mizuki did not. In some way he did, but that night he had no clue how far they went so nothing passed his mind that Tomoe could possiblty getting sick because he mated.
The young snake sat down rather quickly and handed Kurama a cold rag, the tengu thinked him and pressed it to Tomoe's head and they both winced when he lurched forward again and whined loudly,
" Crap..' He whined, " What is wrong with me?' He whined and nearly let his head hit the floor when he yanked his head away from the toilet and nearly laid down on the cold tile, that for some reason sounded tempting given his head was pounding.
Tomoe was not feeling well, and he had no clue why, it had just started happened after Mating with Nanami. He didn't think of anything expect for the guilt, malice and hate that seemed to always be on his mind of late. Inari knocked on the door and Kurama looked up as the god leaned on the frame and sighed,
" I got Tomoe back in school.' He muttered and the Tengu was shocked,
" I didn't even know he was out of it." He blinked while Mizuki grimaced, he had heard them screaming that night, he just never wanted to accept the truth that Tomoe-kun had been pulled out. He didn't know how Inari remotely got him back in without parents concent.
" But..' Tomoe groaned and wiped his mouth, " How?" He arched his brow and looked at him , his ears twitching to hear what and why. The man chuckled weakly and sighed out as he stood there silently,
" I called Mikage." He looked at Tomoe's shocked, violet eyes before the man sighed out and bit his lip, " He let you back in... but hes not coming back home for a while." The god sighed out as Tomoe swallowed harshly, the bile in his throat seemed to rise and he just wanted to scream out every cuss word known to man, but where would that leave him? What would that get him? A slap in the head from Inari?
" I see.." Tomoe ground out and stood, his hair shaded his eyes as he pushed past Inari and huffed, " I'm going to my room.' He muttered weakly and stomped up the stairs. Kurama winced and was about to say, Lets leave him alone, When Mizuki jumped up and screamed,
" WAIT FOR ME TOMOE-KUN!" He squealed weakly and took off up the stairs. Kurama gasped and cursed,
" M-MIZUKI!" He gasped and took off after the yung teenager, he followed him up the stairs and was surpirsed to see him talking to Tomoe, who was staring up at the ceiling, nodding everyonce in a while. Kurama pushed the door open and arched his brow as the Snake paused and let him sit beside him.
" Lets talk about other things.' Kurama smiled sheepishly and Mizuki nodded. The snake paused and then looked at Tomoe, his innocent eyes flashing with a sense of security.
" Mikage will kill you.' Mizuki muttered weakly as Kurama looked at him shocked. Tomoe sent a surprised and almost hurt look towards the snake before the teen raised his hand in order for him to explain why he said something like that,
" Because..I saw Nanami in your bed.' He muttered weakly, " And it was different than'Just Friends' " He muttered and winced, leaving Tomoe to pale, then to flush red and whine as he buried his face in his pillow, his ears flat and his tail limp.
" Oh Crap.." Tomoe moaned out into the fabric, leaving Mizuki to wince and Kurama to sigh, " I'm sorry...' Tomoe finally seemed to say as he turned his head only a little so that he could look at them,
" Sorry you had to see that Mizuki.' He choked and the snake smiled weakly,
" Its okay.." He whispered, " I was just shocked by the fact it was you and Nanami, and that I didn't hear anything.' He laughed and poked Tomoe's shoulder, making the fox turn a dark crimson, he went from the fox who never kissed anybody to the one that lost everything first. In a way that sucked on a lot of levels.
" I had music in my ears, so maybe there was noise and I just didn't hear?" Mizuki continued to poke and Kurama soon caught on as to what the snake was doing. He was trying to cheer him up by teasing the fox, he smiled softly and gently poked as well,
" Good thing Gwen wasn't home.. She'd think it was the TV!" He winked and Tomoe whined and started to steam complete red. He buried his head in his pillow and whined slightly as they started to poke and prod him about what happened. Mizuki even told him he better be glad his music was on repeat so that's there was no pauses in the songs, he was after all, the room right across from Tomoes.'
This only made the fox blush red and curse at them for being there. For teasing him, but they laughed when he stuttered and tried to shut them up. As long as they kept this up? And Mikage was not mentioned? Then they got their old Tomoe back.. even if it was only for a short time..
It was him, and no one else could or would replace him...
Areno sighed out as he woke up on the floor, he arched his brow and sighed out, until he looked at the bed and sighed when he saw Rii, sprawled out snorting to herself in her sleep. He arched his brow but snickered slightly,
Last night they got a call from Inari, and it was to enroll Tomoe back into the school; it had shocked the uncle, but it also made him smile for joy. This was what he wanted to happen, what he hoped would come true. Now it was and he was releived to hear so. Then they talked and fell asleep on his bed after talking for what seemed like hours.
" Oi, Rii?" Areno laughed weakly whiel the woman whined slightly, He poked her but she didn't move so he just scooted her over and laid down beside her. He snuggled down and wrapped his arms around her wasit, nuzzling his nose into her shoulder, making her giggled in her sleep.
The black haired foxs mouth twitched slightly in amusment and as he nuzzled again. Rii whined and snorted as he licked her bare skinned shoudler and her eyes shot open in shock. He turned her towards him and he smiled seductively at her before she squealed and pushed him away, thus falling off the bed herself.
This left Areno to laugh harshly and try to stop laughing as he rolled around on the bed, his arms wrapped around his stomach as he laughed and howled about Rii and her complete red expression.
Areno laughed a bit, he was in such a better mood now. His Nephew was coming back and it felt like things were turnring around for the best, now he was coming back to school and the man felt slightly happy. This was a chance to talk to him, to protect him and act like the older fox in the family.
Even though he wasn' that old to begin with, but he was still older that the kid. He smiled to himself as he got lost in thought, not seeing Rii nip the end of his ear, his eyes grew wide and she smirked and he whined slightly,
" I just licked your shoulder.." He choked, a small blush across his face, ' Stop taking it a step further." He whined and nearly covered his face whist Rii smirked and pulled his head closer to her,
" But.. Touching your ears? Its like kissing you right?" She giggled while he flushed red and nodded gruffly, he hated it when she got payback, even if he had his fun he never won in the end because she knew his weak spots like the back of her hand. Which had gotten crazy once..
She licked his ear, sliding her tongue from the base to the tip, before moving it in her mouth slightly. Areno groaned and dug his nails in the bed before he looked to the side where she was. She was sitting beside him in a modest PJ outfit, he wasn't sure why she was doing this, until she leaned forward and bit his neck softly, but not enough to draw blood.
He whined but closed his eyes before she snickered and laughed, she pulled back and crossed her arms before getting up to go make coffee, Areno blinked in shock before sitting up on his elbows and looking at her.
She smirked,
" Someones full moon week is coming, How sad.." She pouted and Areno flushed red.
" Go make the coffee." He pouted and slammed his red face into the sheets before she laughed and walked out of the room.
" Payback sucks.." He groaned and pulled his calendar over, crap, She was right!
Curse weeks like this..
Silver nodded and he and Lily walked that day, yesterday they had been driven home by her uncle, given that the streets were far to dangerous in the city at night, but knowing lily.. Even if they did get attatcked the man would die prematurly. Silver sighed out as they walked, he knew that he had to go back to the vonlunteer building for the social services, and then get a partner that he was soon to work with.
He almost grumbled at the thought of this, but he said nothing; Knowing that Lily had already picked up on his mood about this from the very start of the day. He bit his lip as they walked and he paused in front of her aunts book shop, where Lily smiled and gave him a quick hug,
" Be careful." She muttered and sighed, " The city can be dangerous in the daylight as well.' She smirked as Silver sighed and nodded,
" I think I can take care of myself Lil.' He chuckled slightly and she rolled her eyes before gently punching his shoulder. He smirked and started to turn before looking back at her,
" Careful with work today." He muttered. She looked at him slightly, not knowing what to say other then to nod and walk into the building. The red head smiled to himself but he said nothing as he started the long walk to the volunteer center.
When he had finally gotten there he was shocked to see how crowded it was, even after the other day when Ookunishi talking for so long? It was STILL crowded to his utter shock. He groaned out when he saw the line but was shocked when he was shoved towards a table that had just opened up to the public due to all the people.
Silver sighed as he grabbed the pen and filled out the form, the woman thanked him and told him to have a seat.. If there was any. There wasn't so the fox rolled his eyes, took out his phone and looked at the screen. He knew it was going to be a long wait when he took a number and it said, `163' He grunted.
What a day to want to be helpful.
" Ah Yes!" A woman smiled as Silver looked at her and his form that he had filled out, he nearly twitched from his partners name and a gag almost took over him when he saw it. He looked at her and twitched,
" Are you serious?" He muttered dryly as she nodded and laughed,
" He's one of the best in the field, your quite lucky to get a mentor like him.' She smiled and nodded, her black hair seemed to bob and he arched his brow when he looked at the chart that was before him.
'Akura-Ou-Sama' Was written in nice letters on the line and he almost chucked the clipboard and quite from seeing it. He didn't want to be stuck with an idiot! The thought of having him teach him about humans resources was almost a laugh. He used to be a human, he didnt need an ex-demons opinion, but sadly the legal system sucked and his ears flopped over.
Crap...
