The Library (yes we have one >_>)

"I really could get used to living in this place..." Minoushje muttered happily when she had discovered the library on the second floor.
With her fingers she traced the spines of the books as she was reading the many titles, sorted by author.
There were cliché romantic novels, manga, sci-fi books, thrillers, ancient classics of long deceased writers and many many more.
"It must have taken many years to attain such an impressive collection."
Eventually she decided to read something light and took a historical romance novel (though the light part is a bit double because it's actually a very heavy book, counting at least 500 pages), sitting down in one of the large armchairs near the fireplace.


((a bit random but since there are more people here that enjoy reading I figured this place really needed a library >_>))

Unbeknownst to Mino, there was someone else in the room already.

Tucked away in the corner, Zen lay curled up, her eyes closed and her hand marking the place of a rather large book.

((I luffles the library.....x3))

After reading a few pages Minoushje noticed that she already read this book.
Leave it to me... there are hundreds of books here and I pick one I already read.
She stood up, about the choose a different book when she recognized a familiar person sitting in the corner.
"Zen-chan?" She asked softly.
When Zen didn't respond Minoushje smiled.
She must have fallen asleep She thought as she carefully took the book from Zen's hands, placing a piece of paper between the pages. I'll have to ask one of the guys to carry her to her bedroom or something.

((I'm leaving for a little bit... I have to go home (I'm officially working now ^.^") and that takes about twenty minutes, thought I'd let you know ^.^))

((Okay....-looks up- Too lazy to switch accounts. xP))

Minoushje smiled.
It was adorable to see Near like this... worrying about the girl he loves.
She placed a finger against her mouth, signing him to be quiet, as she pointed to the corner of the library where Zen was still sleeping soundly.

((Yay I'm having a conversation with myself XD))

Near smiled at the sight of a sleeping Zen.
"I'll carry her to her bedroom." He whispered softly.
He walked to her and easily picked her up after which he walked out of the library towards her bedroom.


((I'll leave the decision to you if you wish to continue this storyline in the bedroom -not necessarily a perverted/bad thing- or not))

((we all know this takes place after the big time skip... but still:))

Two weeks after Mom & Dad have left...

Aika was enjoying a calm evening, sitting in the library while reading a good book.
Though technically, the evening wasn't at all that much enjoyable. And so far she hasn't read all that much either.
For a couple of days in a row she had been feeling slightly nauseous in the evenings. Maybe she had a flu or something... though she didn't have any fever or any of the other usual symptoms.
At first she thought it was the food or something but every dinner had been completely different so that couldn't be it either.
She took a slow and deep breath, hoping her stomach would stop bothering her in a few minutes or so.

((I JUST CAUGHT UP WITH THE LITTLE FACEBOOK CONVERSATION.
GAWSH, THIS IS GOING TO BECOME SO INTENSE. I CAN'T WAIT~! <3))

It was a few days later, late in the morning, that Aika was in the library once again.
She was enjoying a cup of tea... this time it was truly enjoying... coffee still made her feel nauseous. Out of habit she made a fresh pot for the others and she was only barely able to stop herself from running to the toilet again.

She was halfway reading the newspaper when she realized she had not eaten breakfast yet. She stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Eventually she decided to just eat some fruit but when she opened the fridge she spotted some leftover pizza from the previous day. Normally she thought it was disgusting that some of the members actually like eating cold pizza but now it was very tempting.

There was a small voice in the back of her head that told her this was somewhat strange but she completely ignored it... she was just enjoying her cold pizza and her fruit with whipped cream (or technically it was whipped cream with fruit).

(obvious much?)

Aika stared at the slice of pizza with pursed lips.
Suddenly her appetite completely disappeared.
"Uhh yeah... I always said that didn't I? I figured that I could at least try it before forming an opinion. It's not that bad."
She sweatdropped.

The truth was that Aika had been doing some calculating and she had realized that she was late... and not just a day or so... no, according to her usual monthly schedule her period should have been 11 days ago.
Until a few minutes ago she was in complete denial... sure she had been nauseous a lot lately but normally pregnant women had morning sickness, didn't they?
But this wasn't the first time this week she had strange food cravings (two nights ago she sneaked downstairs at 2.30am to eat some leftover sushi)... and that was a typical pregnancy symptom.

((like I said on FB, she's totally in denial towards the others))

Fey smiled and shrugged. "I'm glad you're trying out new things~ See, it isn't so bad huh?" The girl chirped, walking over to the table and placing down her biology book to the "Pregnancy" chapter she'd been studying before walking over to the refrigerator to pull out the carton of banana milk she loved. The girl turned to Aika. "Want some~?"

((Yep, she's in denial~ BUT SOON... 8D))

((Warning, biology lesson following below ^^" ))

Under normal circumstances Aika would have loved a glass but it seemed her body reacted completely opposite lately... which ever she liked normally would make her feel sick and the other way around.
"Uhh... no thanks." Aika said, placing a hand against her mouth.
She noticed the biology book and read a random part of the text.


The only way to know for sure is by taking a pregnancy test. But there are early symptoms of pregnancy that may point to the possibility.
Every woman is different. So are her experiences of pregnancy. So not every woman has the same symptoms or even the same symptoms from one pregnancy to the next.
Also, because the early symptoms of pregnancy are often like what happens right before and during menstruation , those symptoms aren't always recognized.

What follows is a description of some of the most common early symptoms of pregnancy. It should be know that these symptoms may be caused by other things besides being pregnant. So the fact that some of these symptoms are noticed does not necessarily mean that a woman is pregnant. The only way to tell for sure is with a pregnancy test.

• Spotting and Cramping
  
• Breast changes
  
• Fatigue
  
• Nausea (morning sickness)
  
• Missed Period
  
• Frequent urination
  
• Constipation
  
• Mood swings
  
• Headaches and back pain
  
• Dizziness and fainting

After the list there followed a more detailed explanation of all the mentioned symptoms but Aika had read enough. As she had been reading the list Aika's eyes widened a bit. She sure was glad she did not have all the mentioned symptoms but she had at least five of the mentioned symptoms... that was definitely a wake-up call.
Maybe it was about time to make a stop by the pharmacy later today.
