*** This takes place before Light picks up the Death Note.***

I unlocked the door of my apartment, feeling the warmth from inside brush against my face. I walked in and locked it behind me, the plastic bag ruffling as it swung around my wrist. I leaned on the door with my back, pulling the roots of my hair as a single tear slid down my right cheek. My phone buzzed in my jean pocket, I pulled it out saw that I got a text message from Light.

'I'll be there within an hour, Sayu asked me for help on her math homework but it shouldn't take too long. Love you,
- Light'

I sighed and ran into the bathroom, the plastic bag nearly falling out my hands. I ripped open the bag and pulled out three rectangular boxes. My vision was fuzzy and blurred as I read the directions on one of the boxes. With my shaking hands, I opened the bag and followed the instructions.

•~•~•~•~•

It's been fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes I have been sitting on the bathroom floor, not able to bring myself to look at the results. I know I have to, Light will be here soon. Stumbling as I stood up, I walked over to sink counter. My heart dropped and I fell to my knees.

All three were positive. I, a 17 year old, a 3rd high school student, was pregnant. I heard the front door open as the father walked in. "(Y/n)?" The sound of his shoes clunked on the floor as he said so.

"I-I'll be out in one minute." I stuttered. My hands were trembling as I shoved all of the tests back into the boxes and into the bags. I quickly shoved the bag under the cupboard under the sink. I stood up and looked into the mirror.

'Deep breaths, (Y/n).' I told myself, forcing my breaths to slow down. My heart was sky rocketing, my face was a mess. I quickly brushed my hair with my fingers and wiped the tears away. Doing one last deep breath, I opened the bathroom door to see Light on the couch, his back to me.

His head snapped around as I closed the bathroom door, "Hey." He smiled softly and patted the couch next to him.

"H-hey, you're early." I stuttered and walked around the side of the couch, plopping myself down next him. I scooted as close to him as I could, fearing that this may be the last time we would act like this. He may leave when he find out the news, just thought of that my heart stop beating.

"I said within the hour. So, what's up? You're acting different now than you when were at school." Light wrapped his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.

"N-nothing." I lied, my heart somehow picking up it's already fast pace.

"You're shaking." He grabbed my chin with his left hand, making me face him.

"I'm cold." I lied again, realizing my hands were trembling.

"Your air conditioner broke three months ago and you don't want to get a new one. You have the warmest apartment ever," He studied my face as my eyes began watering again, "please, (Y/n). Tell me what's on your mind." He begged.

"It's not something that's 'on my mind', it's something that is somewhere else." I said quietly as he tilted his head in a confused manner. I grabbed his left hand that was still holding my chin and placed it on my lower stomach. His eyes slowly trailed down as mine began emitting tears.

"Are you...?" He mumbled, not removing his gaze from his hand.

"Yes." I cried quietly and rested my face in the crook of his neck. I jump slightly when pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms tight around me.

"I think we should ask my parents if you can move in with us." Light muffled into my hair.

"I can't possibly ask them to do that, I can just stay here." I shook my head slightly.

"No, you can't. Your parents aren't here to guide you. My mom will help you, I know she will." Light tried to assure me.

"We're only 17, Light... We haven't even graduated high school!" I grabbed his hand and played with his fingers.

"My parents will help us every step of the way," He squeezed his arms around me, "I love you, so very much (Y/n)... You know that right?" He wiped the tears off of my cheeks.

I nodded, "I love you, Light" I snuggled into his arms.

"We will make it through this," he kissed my forehead, "I promise."
