Riki nodded. She was sure. "I c-can t-t-take the t-t-est for you ag-g-ain if you w-want though," she said... There was always a 'chance'...

Suoh shook his head. "No, no it's fine. Just checking cause, y'know, false positives and shit happen early on. But if you're sure there's really no sense going through all of it again."
They reached the appartment building and Suoh wheeled Riki inside, taking her up into his arms and carrying her up into the apartment. Oki hadn't come home, a fact for which Suoh was gateful right now, and he carried Riki inside. He sat down on the couch with her and quietly held her.

Riki didn't move, nor did she sleep. For much of the time, she simply clung to Suoh and silently cried. She was scared to death of what would happen to her once her parents, and even more so, Tsunade learned of this...

Suoh hated the silence, the way it seemed weighted. Maybe this was what Oki's stories meant by a 'pregnant' silence, pun unintended. He wanted to say something, wanted to somehow reassure her that things would be okay, but he couldn't. He didn't know if they would, and the thought loomed larger than life of his eventual return to Hoshigakure. Whether it was by his own volition or he was dragged, kicking and screaming, he was going to have to go. And the most terrifying part of it was that he couldn't even begin to imagine Sudah's fury of this mistake.
Still, that wasn't Riki's concern right now, and he did his best to try and kiss away her tears. "Riki," he said softly. "You seem to know the Hokage fairly well. What would I have to do for her to allow me to stay here? I mean permanently stay..."

Riki swallowed, and took a minute to compose her thoughts. "I... I d-don't know, S-uoh... I m-mean... wh-when she f-finds out... Sh-she m-might want you to st-tay... I h-ope..." Riki said, snuggling closer to him, or at least trying to, though that might have been impossible...

Suoh held her tighter. "I'll do whatever I have to, Riki. If it means I hang up my forehead protector for good, I'll do it. I just want to be able to stay, to look after you and... and the baby." He swallowed hard. It was hard to say that word, as if by ackowledging it he was making it real.

Riki moved a little higher up Suoh so she could lightly kiss the side of his neck. "I'm not crying because you got me pregnant, and definitely not because it was 'you' who did," she whispered. "I'm just scared... what happens... next?

"Don't we wait?" Suoh said uncomfortably. "I mean, the damn things take forever before they come out, and in the mean time you start puking and being moody..."

"Thanks 'babe'," she said and frowned at him... "I m-meant t-telling everyone who n-needs to kn-now..."
She sat up and dried her eyes... "Suoh... D-do you l-l-love me?" she asked, and for once was able to hold the look at his eyes while she waited for his answer...

Suoh sighed. "Please don't take this personally Riki, but... no. I care about you very much, but I don't love. I don't love anyone, never have. I don't really think I can."

Riki smiled and leaned back down to hold Suoh close and happily nussled into his neck again, giving it a small kiss...

"So..." Suoh continued. "How pissed are your parents going to be?"

"Furrious, I'm sure," she said. "Thank you for being honest with me," she said and squeezed him a little tighter. "I think that's why I liked you in the first place... You were always honest, and never treated my like a child, or a defect..."

"That's because you're neither. If I thought for a minute you wanted me to lie to you, I would. I've done it to girls in the past and it was no big deal. But you're not one of those empty headed floosies looking for pretty words..."

"Nope... I've got a pretty man instead," she teased him. "Suoh... Kiss me," she said, and moved away from his neck so that he could...
