Uncertainty

Marriage

Throwing herself out of a moving car wasn't a good idea, it never had been and even less so now that she had a life growing inside her that she had to take care of. Because it was definitely the only thing going through her mind as they drove through the city and the familiar streets she had lived on all her life began to pass by the window. She hadn't been able to let her mother know she was accompanied, she had only asked if they were both home and the woman said yes, so now she had a hole forming in her chest from thinking about the conversation that awaited her.

The car stopped and she with trembling hands searched for her keys, Kiba next to her held the bag with her new medicines, test results and some groceries. When she finally found in her coat pocket the key ring, she opened the door, her parents were on the couch watching TV and raised their heads in her direction, before losing her momentum she took a step to enter and thus at once allow the Inuzuka to cross the frame as well. The surprise on their face was evident, turning off the TV at once and straightening up on the couch.

"Good evening," it was Kiba who greeted.

"Go-good evening," her mother was the first to react. "Tenten, you didn't tell me that you would bring a visitor to have something ready. Have you already had dinner?"

"Yes, mom." After reviewing some of the suggested dinner options on the diet they had gone to a restaurant down the road, "thank you" she closed the door and the Inuzuka took her by the hand. "Mom, dad, let me introduce you to Kiba my... boyfriend?" Only there it dawned on her that technically he wasn't just her boyfriend anymore and should extend it to fiancé-and-father-of-my-child or something like that.

"Kiba Inuzuka," confidently he took the few steps that separated them from the couch and extended his hand to shake that of her parents, who stood up before taking it and each said their names. "It's easy to see where Tenten got her eyes," from her father and her mother's hair color.

"Why do we owe it to this young man to finally show up here?" Her father looked directly at her and couldn't help biting her lip.

"Oh yes... about that," she didn't want to stutter or look more nervous than she was. "I think we should all sit down."

"Would you like some coffee? I'll make some."

"I was forbidden it," she said reluctantly between her teeth and her mother's eyes widened exorbitantly as she examined her completely.

"What about you?"

"I would like to, dear." Her father also looked her up and down.

"Yes, thank you." The dining table was square, the two men facing each other as they sat down. "Would you like a yogurt?" she nodded more for the sake of having something to hide behind when pretending to drink it than because she wanted the drink itself. The cups were set out for those who would drink coffee and it could feel the tension start to build. "Well, we can't drag this out..."

"You pregnant my daughter," interrupted her father with a tone that wasn't a question, it was an accusation.

"That's right, today in the morning we were at the medical center to have her examined and to know how they are both evolving." He looked in the bag for the sheet with the ultrasound and handed the sheet to her mother, who held her breath when she saw the image. "There is also the disc in case you want to see the video."

"14 we... 3 months."

"3 months!" Replied her father, looking at the top of the sheet where it said the weeks and the approximate date of conception. "Have you been hiding this from us until now?"

"No dad," she defended herself at once. "I didn't know it either, we found out last night..."

"Did you know she has a boyfriend for so long?"
