(Flashback)

Sitting in Kaien Cross' office was intimidating, to say the least. However, that didn't bother Yuuki as she quietly hummed to herself. She looked up at her husband when she felt a pressure on her hand, was he happy? Or could it possibly be that he was nervous? Kaname's face was very unexpressive but Yuuki could tell he was biting the inside of his lip. "I can't believe this. The famous Kaname Kuran is afraid to meet my father.

Kaname gave her a look and squeezed her hand harder, "I'm not nervous, little one. I'm just mildly concerned as to how Kaien will react to the news."

"What news?" Kaien asked as he made his dramatic entrance into the office. "Are you two moving away?" He asked, tears beginning to stream down his face. He could be a little melodramatic.

"Father, we aren't moving. This is our home." Yuuki said with a reassuring smile.

Instantly brightening, Kaien wiggled happily and made his way to his chair behind the desk in the room. It was relatively easy to please the man.

Kaname stayed still and watched Kaien, unable to put into words what he wanted to say. He was never flabbergasted but this was a touchy subject.

"Well, it's kind of serious…. but very exciting!" The brunette added to try and keep the mood light. She wasn't going to let go of Kaname's hand, but to be honest she was somewhat nervous herself. So, instead, she used her other free hand and played with the fabric of her elegant dress.

Yuuki's attempt at keeping the atmosphere light was to no avail as Kaien leaned onto his desk and propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin on his hands. "What is it?" He asked, though his gaze was directed at Kaname. He felt that somehow Kaname was responsible for whatever was going to happen.

Kaname discreetly gulped and opened his mouth to say something before quickly closing it. What could he possibly say to make the situation lighter?

"Well, father, we've been married for a few months now…. And well…" She began to profusely blush. "I-I'm pregnant!" She yelled nervously. Kaname glanced at her, hoping none of the snooping night class had heard her announcement.

The air in the room seemed to still as Kaien digested her words. It took awhile for the first move to happen. Kaien abruptly stood up and sighed, brushing his blond bangs out of his face. A smile began to form on his face, growing larger as he assessed the lovebirds in front of him. "Kaname?" He asked, meeting eyes with the young man.

Kaname stood, still holding onto Yuuki with one hand. He was expecting a punch, a lecture, something negative for sure. His precious daughter had been impregnated.

The blond haired man pulled the tall pureblood into his arms and hugged him, rubbing his face all over Kaname's white button down with tears. "Congrats." He pried himself off of the man and looked down at his beautiful daughter. So much had changed in the past few years. He wasn't sure Kaname was going to survive at one point, as he had been determined to use his heart to fuel the ancient furnace that forged vampire hunter weapons. But, remarkably an old friend of Haruka and Juuri awoke from his slumber and offered his heart to the cause since he had lived more than enough of his time.

Yuuki looked up at her father, holding back a laugh as she watched Kaname awkwardly stand there, processing the affectionate attack from someone other than his wife. Using her free hand, she fixed her dress and tucked a lock of brown hair behind her ear. "We wanted you to be the first one to know." She said sheepishly.

"One of the only people to know," Kaname replied sternly. "Her pregnancy must be kept a secret or she will be a target."

"Yes, yes! Of course! I'm going to be a granddad," he said with a twirl.

Yuuki smiled and placed her free hand on her stomach, "We don't know the gender of the child yet, but when we do, you will be the first to know."

Smiling with pride, Kaien nodded with enthusiasm. "If you need anything, call me! I will help with your cravings and everything." Realizing she was no longer human he coughed and quickly added, "as best I can."

"Thank you… father." Kaname quietly said with an awkward smile. This was going much better than he thought.

"WAH!" The chairman whined and hugged the couple just as the small brunette stood up. "I'm so happy for you two!"

Closing his eyes, Kaname couldn't help but let a small genuine smile appear on his face. The beginning. Their child, their family would bring about a change in the vampire society. Opening his eyes, he met eyes with his wife and realized she must have been thinking something similar. The Kuran family will live on.
