And so, Riki sat in the hot springs, waiting, worrying, and waiting some more. Oki would hopefully come soon. The last student that Oki had sent to the hospital, Riki had returned with a note asking Oki to meet her there at the end of the teaching day - especially... Without Suoh...

Oki hadn't wasted any time when classes ended. She had dropped her books at home, grabbed a swimsuit, and gone directly from the hot springs. Once she had changed, it had taken her a little while to find Riki but she finally clipped into the water beside the other young woman.
"Riki, what's wrong? Your note sounded urgent!"

Riki bit her lip and looked around with the byakugan just to make sure they were alone... Once she opened her mouth, it was a stuttering in-decipherable mess...

Oki strained to try and make out something that she was saying, frowning in concentration, but it was no good. She held up her hands to stop her. "Riki... Riki, honey slow down. Take a deep breath, okay?" She waited until Riki fell silent. "Now, yes or no. Are you alright?"

Riki tried to answer, but in the end only shook her head no and bit her lip... "S--s-s-s-s-u----suoh and I..." and then quickly desolved into more stuttering incomprehensible babble...

Oki's eyes went wide. "Oh my gods! Riki, did you two break up?"

Riki shook her head quickly. She shut her eyes tightly, and just took Oki's hand and placed it on her stomach, chewing on her bottom lip and beggin Oki to understand with her eyes...

Oki was confused at first, but realization dawned slowly. She pulled her hand back, clasping both hands over her mouth as she gasped. "Oh my gods you're not!"

Riki closed her eyes and folded her arms across her still, very tiny belly. Tears began to trickle from the corner of her eyes and she nodded that yes, she was...

"Oh honey honey honey honey!" Oki said quickly, moving to take Riki into her arms and rocking her gently. "Ssshhh... It's gonna be okay, Riki. Have you told Suoh yet? Or your family?"

That was what she was scared of... Not telling her family... But telling Suoh. She shook her head... "S-s-s-s--s-ss-s-u-su-su-su-s-s-s-suoh!" She couldn't finish the sentence, she was worried that if he found out, he'd be on the road as fast as he could possibly be away from her - he was no breeder... his own words...

Oki sighed. "You haven't told him, but you've told me... And he reads me like a book. Oh honey... What are you going to do?"

Riki ducked her head... She had no idea what to do... That was why Oki was here... Now... if that was true, how long would it be until Suoh knew, and he showed up as well... Riki took a good many long, slow, and deep breaths... "Will... w-w-will he l-leave me... Oki?"

"Sweety, I..." Oki hesitated. "I don't know. I don't think he will, he wouldn't leave you in the lurch like that. He-he's not the kind of guy to run when things get tough." Actually, Oki reasoned, that's exactly the kind of man her brother was and she was ashamed to admit it. But she couldn't tell Riki that! The poor girl was upset enough as it was.
"Riki, you have to tell him."

Riki sat there chewing on her lip. Did she have to? Did she really have to? She suspected that now that now that Oki knew, it was too late anyway...
