[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or any characters associated with the anime/manga. Although I do own all four Dvds. The anime was good but it was never finished :'( wah

Author's Note: Wow… It's been about a year and a half since I've even tried writing anything for this story. The ideas for the story were always there (and actually written down in a notebook) but were never put to any use. So I've decided to try and revive this story since I got so many wonderful reviews, even a few quite recently. I thank you to all who have kept checking back to see if this has been updated and I hope what I have left of the story will make you happy.

Onto the chapter

Chapter 10: Worrying

Tohru had been sick nearly all morning. The morning sickness seemed to get worse the more she thought about what Yuki was doing at the main house. What if Akito had found out about her “illness”? Had Shigure mentioning her sickness to one of the other zodiac raised suspicion of what could be causing it? So many questions ran through her head and she once again felt much like the “space cadet” Kyou had on many occasions called her. Worry and doubt etched themselves onto the delicate features of her face. How could she possibly be strong enough to deal with the wrath of Akito when all she could do was get worried and make herself sick all over again?

While still lying down, she curled into a ball, she began to rock herself back and forth almost in the same fashion her mother had done when she was little.

“Okaa-san what should I do?” she asked, closing her eyes and clasping her hands together in a prayer-like manner. “Please help me to be strong and be able to figure out what to do.”

Across town a young man slowly trudged his way home. He felt as if he had been dragged through the pits of hell and back and the idea of tomorrow made him wonder if hell would have been better to have been at the moment. Tomorrow… not even when he had lived in the main house had he dreaded the coming of another dawn. Tomorrow could only bring things that he had hoped to spare Tohru from. He had put distance between himself and her for this purpose entirely. Well maybe not exactly this purpose but what had happened had far surpassed what he had imagined. Not only would Akito erase her memory of their relationship if he found out, but he would probably take the baby and make it his “pet” as he had made him.

“I can't let Akito find out about the baby,” Yuki said with determination to no one in particular. The forcefulness behind is voice surprised him and the couple across the street gave him an odd look as well. “I just can't.”

As he neared the end of the street, he came to a flower shop he had passed many times before. Inside he could see many types of flowers; to all of which Tohru would exclaim “They're beautiful!” Starring at the entrance for no more than a second or two he simply opened the door and stepped into the fragrant store.

AN: Sorry for such a short update but I really really didn't want to go into Tohru and Yuki talking about the day after and that's about all that would be left of this chapter if I did add it. Plus work is horrible and I never have time for anything anymore... but thanks for reading and if you feel led review
