Fail-locked - Grab Bag Virus - Surprise Pregnancy

[wildmelody]

Kanade?

Kanade wake up, I've got something to tell you.

Please, wake up. I'm... I don't know how to say this but... Something's weird.

I think I'm pregnant.

[She'd been prepared to ignore the whole thing. She was still in a mood where Hibiki was concerned.

And then she saw the rest and all that immediately blew away. She didn't understand how it had happened, but...]

...how? That doesn't...?

[wildmelody]

I don't know, but I woke up with all the signs and a 3-month bump. I checked with one of Mama's pregnancy tests. And it came up positive.

[tranquilrhythm]

Tha... that... that's impossible! Hibiki, I just saw you last week and you were totally fine! You haven't been feeling weird until just now... it doesn't make any sense!

And besides that, there's no way it could have actually happened! I mean, the only person you're close enough to is me, and I... am missing certain key things to make that work.

[wildmelody]

I know, I know... [In before doujinshi anyhow. But Hibiki sighed, palming a hand over her eyes as she leaned back in her bed.]

Karen's saying it's a virus, and at this point I'm ready to believe her. I already called in sick but can you do me a favor and get me some notes? Tests are coming in after all.

I... should be more angry but I'm too sick to deal with it.

[tranquilrhythm]

Y-yeah, of course I can! I'll do my best! Count on it!

...I'm really hoping it's a virus, though. There's no other logical explanation, and if it sticks... we will have a serious problem. Will you be all right until whatever happened... un-happens?

[wildmelody]

Thanks Kanade, I don't want to fall behind. [Her grades can't take another hit anyhow.]

It must be. People don't just get pregnant out of thin air, much less advanced like I am right now. If you want you can stop by. I'll just be in my room for most of the day.

[tranquilrhythm]

Don't worry about it. And even if something does happen, I'll help however I can.

[There's a pause.] It has to be. And I'll come by. I'm sure you don't need to spend the day alone. Not like this, at least.

[wildmelody]

Thanks. I appreciate it. [Considering she was angry at her for a while.]

If you can bring something salty I'd appreciate it. Pretzels maybe?

[tranquilrhythm]

Sure, I'll bring some. I'll be there soon... wait for me!

[And she started down the stairs, remembering to turn off the video feed as she tromped her way toward the door.]
