Acceptance

"Pregnant!" they both gasped in the same instant as the doctor smiled and nodded. He honestly hoped this was good news for them. Though saying that, the fact they were using contraception made him believe it was a bit of a shock to them. If he could've looked into both of their minds at that moment, shock wouldn't have been the words to describe Kyoko's pure terror or Kuon's ecstasy.

"I will give you a while alone while I prepare what you will need, we will also require a blood test to confirm the pregnancy period. Congratulations again!" he said standing and exiting the room leaving the two startled people behind him. Kyoko looked at Kuon then without cognitive thought brought her hand to her own stomach. Her mind was elsewhere.

A baby! Our baby is growing inside of me! How can I ever be a good mother? How will I cope? Oh God Kuon's going to hate me! We had already said we wanted to wait for all of this! What if he doesn't want me any more? But is it OK that I feel a little bit happy by this?

Kuon watched as Kyoko brought her hand to her stomach. She looked at him and then down towards her hand. He could see that she wasn't really seeing anything. Her mind was reeling, he could see it in her eyes as her face took on so many different emotions.

Will she hate me? I know it wasn't planned but God she is carrying my baby! I've never felt so happy in my life! I want to call the president, my parents...screw that I want to call all the news channels, all those stupid paparazzi and press and I want to tell the world I'm going to be a daddy! But maybe this isn't the best time. Kyoko's career is growing so much, would having a baby at this point be a problem to her? God I love her... would she hate me for being happy?

Kuon couldn't help it. When he saw the slight smile touch her lips, he moved without thought. Putting his hand over her own on her stomach he brought her eyes to his with one finger under her chin.

"I love you, Kyoko and even though we planned to wait for this, you have just made me the happiest man alive." she gasped slightly as the warmth and love in his eyes flooded her own. She drowned in those beautiful blue eyes and the warm true smile that graced his face. Still, she couldn't help the words that slipped from her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Kuon." she whispered as tears coursed down her cheeks. His heart stopped.

What did that mean? What was she saying? Didn't she want the baby? Surely she wouldn't consider a termination? He couldn't even begin to consider that idea! Could Kyoko really not want his child...Their child?

"Kyoko..." he spluttered, truly terrified by her words. His head was screaming 'Say something you fool!' much like that day after the car accident during the Dark Moon shoot. A warm hand brought him back from the brink of his own despair. His hand had been unknowingly caressing her cheek. She leant into his hand, holding it in place with her own as their fingers on her stomach entwined.

"I'm sorry things haven't gone as planned Kuon and I'm sorry if I'm not the perfect wife or mother to our child, but I promise I will try my best to be good to you both." the iron fist that had wrapped around his heart released instantly as he laughed, not at her,but at his own foolishness. Kyoko would never consider an abortion, he knew that. She had been unloved and abandoned so her fear was geared more towards her being good enough, which he found silly as in his mind there was no one better than her. She was, if anything, too good to be his wife and she would make an amazing mother.

"Kyoko, you are already the most wonderful woman in this world. You will make a wonderful mother and our child will be the most loved in all the world." his words gave her a little comfort. How could she ever think Kuon would not understand her, he had always been able to read her heart. Always been able to tell when there was something wrong, ever since she was 6 and he was 10. People laughed and joked, but it was said in the entertainment world they were a destined match and no one had ever said otherwise. Kyoko and Kuon were made for each other, they fit perfectly together and now they would share this new life together.
