Reign's POV
~7 months later~
"Yes I'm okay aunt Tilly...no I'm not just saying so", I role my eyes with a small smile on my face even though she can't see it over the phone. We've been calling each other a lot since Akieno's death. "Okay, and how's the baby?" She finally asks like she always does. Yes, I am pregnant. I found out a week after Akieno's funaral. I couldn't stop vomiting and I craved lemons of all things. "She's perfectly fine Tilly. I'm not in airplanes anymore so don't worry". I resigned from my job after I found out I'm pregnant and now I'm just living off my savings which isn't much in the city of Tokyo. I remained living in Akieno's apartment.
A knock at my door distracts me from our phonecall. "Tilly, there's someone at my door, I gotta go", she tells me to call her right after and hung up. I'm not expecting any visitors today.
When I open the door, it's a stranger in a suit. "Can I help you?", I ask. He scratches the back of his neck nervously. "Uhm...we haven't met before, but I used to work with Akieno. Can I come in?". I make way for him to come in. When I turn sideways, he looks at my baby bump, but says nothing of it.
We sit on the bar stools in the kitchen. "I won't take a lot of your time. I just came to give you these forms". I take the papers from him that I don't understand at all. "What are they for?". He leans forward in his seat in a way of wanting to explain whatever reason perfectly. "Akie was working on an anime called 'Hey...it's you'. It made millions which he never got to see and I thought it was gonna go straight back to the bank. A few days ago I came across these papers in his bottom drawer while cleaning out his desk...which I take my time to do", he deverted his gaze. I could see Akieno's death is hard for him that's why he takes his time cleaning out his desk. "The papers states that if anything were to happen to him, the money that the anime makes must go straight to you".
I blink for a few seconds, not sure what to say. "How...how much money?". He smirks. "60 million dollars". I spit out the water I was drinking. "Sorry, did I hear that right?". He nods his head. "He left a note as well, but I didn't open it". He takes it out of his pocket and slides it towards me. "I'll get going now. It was nice finally meeting you Reign". I smile as he heads towards the door. "Wait, what's your name?" He turns back and says 'Mike' and sees himself out.
I open the note hastily. It says:
My dearest Love
I know you wondering why I did this. Well, the reason is, you inspired this anime. It's based on us, even though there's extra characters which is to not make our story obvious to outsiders. God forbid this, but if I'm no longer alive when this anime is successful, I want you to have the rewards of it at the end. I love you Reign Andrews.P.s , a candle light dinner is waiting for you when you get back.
Your love
A•I wipe the tears that escaped from my eyes as I put the letter down. I remember that dinner. It was the night I got pregnant. Our baby starts kicking. It's like she also knows that her dad loves us so much. I haven't thought of a name for her yet, but I'm not gonna rush it. I rub the spot where she's kicking. "Babygirl, looks like daddy knew we were stuck in a gutter", I giggle.
I recall the memory of us talking about having a baby one day while taking a walk through Tokyo's streets .
"If we ever have a baby one day, I hope it's a girl", he says. I role my eyes with an amusing smile. "And why is that?". He shrugs. "Because, then I'll have a mini you, but hopefully she'll have my attitude ", he smirks. I playfully hit him on the shoulder as we laugh.
"Thank you my love", I whisper, hoping he can hear me.
