"Nana is pregnant"
The room sat in silence apart from the doctors typing and moving about. Nana sat on the short stool, desperately waiting for the doctors response. She twiddled her thumbs together as her hands rest on her skirt.
“Your pregnancy is confirmed,” The doctor finally blurted out, shifting the photograph of Nana's ultrasound.
“The black circle is the little pocket where your baby is. And the little dot you see in the inside is your baby,” The doctor tried lifting a smile from her saggy cheeks to lift the mood but it was of no use. Nana's heart had already dropped past her stomach, she couldn't help but attempt to suppress the negative thoughts. She's pregnant with Takumi's baby, why isn't she happy? Her eyes faded down into a soft expression as her eyes glided from the ultrasound.
“Actually, you're in the middle of your sixth week. We consider that the week of the first day of the last period is week zero,” She calmly said.
As she looked at Nana she felt sympathy. Although Nana wasn't the first to come to her with a sad look of realising her pregnancy she couldn't help but sympathize.
“If you wish to keep the baby please come back in another two weeks for a check up. If you wish to have an abortion, well the sooner we schedule the operation the easier it will be on your body.” She announced to Nana in her solemn voice. “Do you want to leave with the ultrasound?” The doctor said looking at Nana with an understanding look.
Komatsu gasped and looked back at the doctor in her eyes. She had a calm and pleasant look on her face to soothe and not cause worry, a perk she'd picked up from becoming a doctor. Nana's eyes twinkled as she looked at her ultrasound. Quiet tears dropped down her face as she closed her eyes to deafen her sobs.
“Okay...” Nana finally blurted out.

Cars loudly but not too distractingly honked outside of the building.
“What he grew up over seas? Which country?” Osaki Nana asked Misato.
“I wasn't able to find that out, so I guess you didn't know about this either?”
“No I didn't, did you?” Osaki turned to face Komatsu, who was indulging herself in the menu.
“Uh-Huh, I was surprised too when Misato told me but but then I remembered Shin didn't know anything about Tanabata so all the things I thought were weird about him seem to make sense now,“ She replied to Nana, still holding onto but menu but now maintained eye contact with Nana as she spoke.
“Yeah, I guess so. But his parents are Japanese so you'd think they'd at least told him what Tanabata was,” Osaki said lifting her head up holding her glass of cool water before a waiter came up to their table.
“Are you ready to order?” The waiter asked in his deep voice.
“Oh! What're you having, hachiko?” Misato asked Komatsu warmly.
“I'll have a grapefruit juice...” Nana said with a subtle hint of a smile peeking on her face as she looked down.
“Hey, aren't you eating anything?” Osaki replied quickly, worry splashed across her face as she observed Hachi.
“I'm not really hungry,”
“Really? Well we'll have two veggie sandwiches and two milk coffees,” Osaki said facing the waiter.
“Very well,”

“Takumi..?” Komatsu asked on the opposite side of the door filled with worry.
Buttons beeped on Nana's baby pink phone.
“What're you doing..?” She asked hearing the clicks of her phone being used. “Hey.. Takumi?” She repeated before letting out an audible gasp.
“Please don't tell Nobu!” Nana banged on the door with her fist in rebellion.
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
“Hello—” Nobu asked, thinking he was talking to Hachi.
“Hello, Nobu. It's Takumi here,” Ichinose Takumi smugly greeted Nobu as on the other side of the door Nana fell to her knees into a "W" position. “Are you there?”
“Yeah,”
“Turns out Nana is pregnant. I don't know if it's yours or mine, no matter who the father is if Nana plans to keep it I plan to recognize the baby as mine and take care of both of them. What do you think about that?”
Osaki Nana, who was with Nobu as the phone was on speaker heard everything and her face fell into despair.

You know Hachi, I still believe that life is what you make of it. The difference is , now I understand not every body can be strong all the time, and now I'm nicer than back then.
