Life With Zero

Chapter 1

"Zero, where are you taking me?" I looking out the windows of the carriage and could only see trees. I felt like I was in a familiar place but I couldn't figure out where.

Zero smiled slightly. That little smirk he does when he thinks I'm being stupid. "We're going to the place you call home, dummy." I looked over at him and tried not to frown. It was hard to think of my home with Kaname, a home without him.

As the horses trotted along, I felt Zero move closer to me in the seat. His hand slowly went around me as he pulled me tightly against his side. I leaned my head against his shoulder and let the tears flow from my eyes, ever so slowly. "I miss him Zero. He's never going to meet this persons inside of me," I said as I held my tummy and sighed. I knew this was going to be hard but I never realized it would hurt so much to think of Kaname.

Zero stroked my hair softly as he held me close. "Yuki, I know it's hard but I'm here for you now. I'm not going to let you go ever again. I mean it Yuki. I love you." He slowly lifted my chin so I was looking into his face. His eyes looked so bright in the semi-dark room of the cart that I inhaled sharply. I loved Zero just as much as he loved me. I knew he would be there for me but I didn't think he would be able to handle it. When he saved me from attacking Yori, I ended up drinking his blood instead. I was so disgusted with myself that I stayed in a room until Zero told me it was time to come here. To the home where I was born in. The home that my child would come into the world in. It was then, that I kissed him softly before the horses stopes moving, jerking the cart to a stop.

When we finally arrived at the house, I walked in and I instantly smelt Kaname's scent. Freezing in the doorway, I looked over at Zero as tears prickled my eyes. I knew this was going to be hard and Zero was going to be my strength.

We moved into the room where Kaname and I would always entertain our guests. The room that had the beautiful couch and chairs in it. This was the room that Kaname and I, as children, had sat in with mother and father. I sat in the chair on the left side of the room. Zero stayed in the doorway as he watched me. I smiled slightly as I looked around the room. "You know, I think Kaname would have loved to have been here to meet our child. Yet Kaname is the only one who would have known what to do. I don't know if I will be able to take care of my own child without someone's help."

I looked at Zero as tears started flowing down my cheeks. "I don't know if I can keep going through with this, Zero." Zero walked over to me and held my hands as he got on his knees and looked up at me. "Yuki, I know you can do this. You will be a great mother and I know Kaname would be proud of you. If you need to ask Aido or the others, I know they will help. Besides, I'm here for you as well."

He stood up and tousled my hair slightly. I stood up and couldn't help but hug him. "Thank you Zero."

I walked around the house afterwords for a short period of time. I talked with zero explaining what each room was and explained that we weren't going to go to the basement. That was were the real Kaname was resting. Well his body at least.

Eventually the sun started to show and I started to get sleep. I was laying on the couch when Zero walked in and scooped me up. I looked at him in shock as I said, "What are you doing?" He smiled and brought me up into my room and tucked me into bed. "Bringing you to bed. Your pregnant and you don't need to be lying down on a couch." I blushed as i snuggled into the bed and looked up at him. "Thank you, Zero." He nodded and started to head towards the door

"Wait! Umm, will you stay and umm sleep with me?" I hid under the covers as I waited for a response. He didn't say anything he just crawled in beside me and started stroking my hair softly. "Good night, Yuki. Get some rest." I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep to him petting me head.
