Mrs. Kiryu

I am upstairs getting dressed for tonight. I just watch as Zero gets dressed. Putting on his dark wash jeans, grey pullover, and sneakers. Even in plain everyday clothes, he still looks great. I just put on a pair of jeans and a fuzzy pink sweater with my black tall boots. Pushing my long hair into a ponytail. If nothing else, at least my clothes will be comfortable this evening.

"You look very nice babe," Zero says placing a kiss on my head.

"Thank you. So do you." I respond.

"I am starved. Let's go so we can get some food." Zero chuckles.

"It's really nice seeing you smile and laugh so much. It makes all this worth it." I say.

"I never thought this would be me. Happy? Fun? Having a family of my own? Mostly a person that loves me for me and only me. Its been really special even with all the turmoil." Zero responds.

We walk out the door hand and hand. Just looking up at each other. It takes no time to get there since they are only down the street. The door is open so that Zero and I can just walk in.

"Hey, Zero is here, "Ichiru says.

"Hey, We are glad you two could make it. I wanted to start a tradition for us to share every weekend." Mrs. Kiryu says.

"I think that is very nice," I respond.

"It's been a while since we last saw you. Zero tells me you been very busy. It must be weird having to leave your home?" Mrs. Kiryu says.

"Yes, In a way it has been. Zero has been very good to me. Doing everything to make his place seem like home." I reply.

"Isn't that nice of my son. He is a good boy. He always has been. I think too good for his own sake." Mrs. Kiryu responds.

"That is one reason. I love your son. He is very loyal, very kind. There aren't many like him. He is truly special." I say.

"At least you know. So what's happening with this Divorce? That bun in the oven is getting bigger and bigger." Mrs. Kiryu states.

"It's going pretty good. Its why I went along with selling the house. So the divorce would go faster without any contestment. In two months we should be divorced. " I comment.

"You will be seven months. That's cutting it pretty close if you two plan on getting married. I know this is going to sound rude. My son doesn't have the guts to ask you, but I do. How do we know that's my son's child your carrying? And not your husbands. Or who evers?" Mrs. Kiryu says.

Did this bitch just ask me that? Is she for real? WTF? I may not be perfect but I'm not a whore. I say to myself trying to calm myself down.

"Mother really? Why would you ask that?" Zero shouts.

"I am just being honest. I know that had to go through your mind as well." Mrs. Kiryu says.

"No, actually it hasnt. I know her better than that. She wouldn't say its mine if it wasn't." Zero snaps.

"Your too good to think otherwise. You need to. You need to know for sure. Not just take her word for it." Mrs. Kiryu states.

"I don't really know why you have it in for me. I just know you do. Every time I come here, you seem to say something way out of turn. I know you love your son. I understand that. I love and want to protect my children as well. There is a limit or at least a better way. I never showed you any reason to ask me what you just did. It's your son's child no one else. If you want to believe it or not that's on you. I don't need to prove anything to you. All that matters to me, is what Zero believes. He is my only concern." I answer. Getting up from the Island and walking out.

I stand on the step, taking a deep breath. Not even sure, I was in the right place. Was she for real?

"I am sorry about my mother. She does have a way of going too far." Ichiru says.

"She is something. That's for sure." I respond.

"She wants what is best for me and my brother. She just knows how he is. " Ichiru responds.

"He is a good man, I know that. I wouldn't take advantage of that. I am going to head home. Just let Zero know where I went, please. I don't feel so well." I reply.

Walking down the street to Zero's home. I open the door with the key not even putting the lights on. I just head upstairs to the bedroom to lay down. The nerve of that woman. I just can't get it out of my mind. The hell with her.

Zero walks outside seeing Ichiru on the step. "Where is Alexa?" Zero asks.

"She went home. Said she didn't feel well. I guess not after mom. Guess that dinner was a bust."Ichiru says.

"You think. What the hell is mom thinking? Damn. That was just rude. She didn't deserve that. She has given me everything. She left everything for me. I am not going to let mom do that to her." Zero replies.

"Good luck with that," Ichiru says.

Zero gets off the step and walks home opening the door to a dark house. He sees that Alexa didn't put on any lights or even stay downstairs. He heads upstairs to his bedroom, finding her laying on the bed.

"I want to say I am so sorry. She should have never said that to you." Zero says.

"Do you believe it's yours?" I ask.

"Of course. I know what we did. At cross, we didn't keep our hands off each other. I never used anything. I would just get so excited and forget everything else." Zero admits.

"Yea, because you were making love to Yuki, You thought I was her. I was giving you your dream. You had no idea it was me." I say with tears running down my face.

"At the time yes. If she would have gotten pregnant, I didn't care. It would take her away from Kaname. I will admit it. But it's different now. I am very happy with you." Zero replies.

"Really? You don't think about her? Want her? Need her? Are you just with me because I gave you your family back? Because I'm pregnant?" I ask.

"No, not at all. I came back here for you. I didn't even know you were pregnant or that my family could be here with me. I came because I wanted to say. I was sorry. That being with you made me happy. I know my mother made you rethink some things, but please. Don't. I want to be with you and Our child. I know it's my child." Zero comments.

"When it's born, I will take a DNA test to prove to you and her it's yours." I snap.

"You don't have to. Did you hear anything I said?" Zero says.

"Yes, even if you believe it. She doesn't. She will hold it against me our whole relationship. The test will just make her have to eat her words."I respond.

"I see this isn't going to be good between you two. I wish things were different." Zero answers.

"There is no Kaname in this life, it's this. It's real. There is always something in each life. If it's just her we can deal with it. I am not going to let her ruin us. I love you Zero with all my heart. I hope you know that." I respond.

"I do. I See all you did and do for me. I just hope I can always make you this happy." Zero says.

"I am sure you can. I don't want to go to her home anytime soon Zero. Please." I comment.

"Fine. I think she owes you an apology anyway before you ever go back. That was rude and very uncalled for." Zero remarks.

"I don't want to talk about her anymore," I answer.

"How are you feeling? Ichiru said you were not feeling well." Zero asks.

"My head hurts. I am fine otherwise." I say.

"I think we need something to eat. Since we never got to. I will go downstairs and get us something." Zero responds.

"I'm not that hungry," I reply.

"You will be, I will make it you're favorite. You need to eat." Zero says.

"PIzza huh?" I say. " Yep with lots of cheese. Just how you like it." Zero says with a smile.

"I love you, "I reply. Wrapping my arms around him. Giving him a kiss.

"I love you too." He answers.

Zero goes downstairs getting us something to eat. He returns sitting in bed with me. Getting me to eat something. He was always trying to take care of me. We laid there holding each other, Zero trying to make up for his mothers doing. Knowing she overstepped.
