Five months had passed. Lisha spent time with Lindsay and held her whilst she cried, which happened more often now since she was nearing her sixth month. Lisha ditched the shopping robe to take Lindsay shopping for the proper clothes that she would need.

 

“Geeze, just cuz I'm pregnant doesn't mean that I have to look ugly about it.” Lindsay mumbled shifting through maternity clothes.

 

Lisha giggled at her friends comment. “You know, I could always make the stuff for you. Just pick out some fabric and tell me what you want.” She pulled out a decent looking dress. “What `bout this one?” It was a soft lilac color with flowers sewn in as a design.

 

Lindsay looked up from the rack she was at. “I don't want you to make the stuff for me, I want to be able to buy it for myself. That dress is cute, but it's too big.”

 

“No it's not, you're not going to stay this size till the end y'know. You need clothes for later months, and I have no problem making the clothes. We'll look at the regular clothes and I'll make them in your size.”

 

Lindsay sighed. “I guess you're right. You remember that dress you gave me for Christmas two years ago? The one with the holly trim?” Lisha nodded. “Could you make me a summer version of it?”

 

Lisha smiled. “No problem. I'll even make that same dress in winter version as you're due in January.” She held up a different dress. This one blue with red trim on the sleeves and bottom.

 

Lindsay nodded that she liked it. “Why did this have to happen to me?” She blurted. Her voice caught and a few tears slipped down her face. Lisha dropped the dresses that she was holding to turn around and pulled her friend into a hug. “It's just not fair.”

 

“I know, I know. But he's not around anymore, he can't get you. You've got Mark and me here for you. We won't leave you.”

 

“His face still haunts me in my sleep.”

 

Lindsay's arms tightened around Lisha. “You should clear your mind before you sleep. It should help. I still do. My parents died two years ago, and I still have nightmares about it. Mark showed me how to clear my mind for a peaceful slumber.”

 

Lindsay pulled back. “I should, shouldn't I? He keeps telling me that he'll show me, but I don't take the offer.”

 

“Well, take it. It really does help.”

 

She nodded and wiped her tear off her face. “I'll give it a try tonight.”

 

Lisha smiled and handed her the dresses that she had dropped. “Here, let's check these out and get you home.”

 

Lindsay took the dresses. “Could we get something to eat first? I'm starved.”

 

“You're always starved.” Lisha laughed. “Don't tell me it's because you're pregnant, you've always been starved for as long as I've known you.”

 

Lindsay stuck her tongue out. “But now I have a reason.”

 

“Very mature Lindsay.”

 

They paid for their clothes and headed towards the dorms, stopping at a burger joint for a quick bite on the way. Once back at Lindsay and Mark's dorm, they filled her closet with the new clothes. “You know, in about three months, I won't have reason for these clothes anymore.” Lindsay pointed out.

 

“Nonsense. When you and Mark get married, you'll want to have kids with him won't you?” Lisha responded after they sat on the couch.

 

Lindsay blushed. “I-I guess. I've never really thought about that.”

 

“Of course, you're only 18.”

 

“Yeah, barely an adult, and I've already got a child.” She put her hand on her semi-large stomach. “A child that's moving.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah, it's so weird, here feel.” Lindsay grabbed Lisha's hand and put it on her stomach.

 

“I'll bet it does feel weird from the inside, it feels weird from the outside.”

 

Lindsay smiled down at her friend. “So, anything new between you and Kurama?”

 

It was Lisha's turn to blush. “Before this happened to you, he asked me to mate with him when I was ready.”

 

“Mate? What are we, animals?”

 

Lisha giggled. “Linds, `Rama's a youkai. It's kinda like our marriage, except without a big ceremony.”

 

“So when'll you be ready?”

 

Lisha shrugged. “Dunno.”

 

“Anywhere in the near future?”

 

“I really don't know. I'm still a virgin you know.”

 

“You mean that it involves you losing it?” Lisha nodded. “Wow, no wonder you've taken so long.”

 

“Hey, it's not like I've known him my whole life! I've only known him for two years!”

 

“Correction, three. You turn 19 in two weeks.”

 

“Oh yeah, it's hard to tell time with love.”

 

“I know.”

Ring, ring.

 

It won't stop, why can't I go back.

 

Ring

 

I could've been prevented. I could've stopped them.

 

Ring

 

I had to make them angry, had to make them leave.

 

Ring

 

If only I could turn back time, I'd go back and stop my immature rampage.

 

Ring

 

I hate time, it always bites me in the butt.

 

Ring

 

Why does it have to hurt so much?

 

“Hello?”

 

He'll help me, I hope.

 

“Ok, I'll tell her.”

 

He's kept me going thus far.

 

“Lisha, wake up.”

 

No, just a little longer.

 

“C'mon Lisha,”

 

I need more time.

 

“Five more minuets”

 

That's all I ever need.

 

“No, you have to get up now.”

 

I guess there's no time for me.

 

“What?”

 

Time is definitely not on my side.

 

“Lindsay's gone into labor.”

 

Time's up.

 

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

 

Lisha sprung out of bed so fast that it surprised even Kurama. She grabbed a shirt from her closet then turned around to Kurama. “What're you doing in my room?”

 

“Your cell phone was going off, and you didn't answer.”

 

“Oh, well please go get my coat and shoes so we can leave faster.” Kurama nodded and left the room. She pulled on her bra and underwear and the dark purple long-sleeve shirt she had in her hand. She turned back to her closet, grabbed her black mini and pulled it on. She threw on a pair of socks, grabbed her purse, and ran down the hall.

 

At the end of the hall, she threw on her knee-high boots that Kurama handed her and her coat. Kurama then picked her up and ran off to the hospital. Once there, Lisha ran to the desk. “Which room is Lindsay Sougen in?” She asked.

 

The lady behind the desk looked up. “Your name?”

 

“Lisha Muso.”

 

She typed into the computer then handed the information to Lisha.

 

“Thank you ma'am.” Lisha grabbed Kurama's arm and headed off to the elevator. She found the right room and walked in, Kurama stayed off to one corner. “Lindsay, how you doing so far?” She asked.

 

“Ok I guess.” Lindsay said in a pale voice. “Glad you're here.”

 

Lisha grabbed Lindsay's hand. “I said I would be here, and I keep my promises.”
