If you're going to hit it, hit it until it breaks. ~ Oikawa Tōru

Risas POV

I'm going to tell him. I can't back out. It will be fine. Everything will be alright. These thoughts circulate in my head, convincing myself that nothing will go wrong. I mean it's totally normal to have your girlfriend tell you she's pregnant right? Okay, so maybe it's not normal, but it's nothing to freak out about. It's not like hell leave me just because I'm pregnant. When he finds out he'll be ecstatic, I mean he could teach our kids all about aliens, we could play family volleyball, and maybe our kid gets his good looks and becomes popular. Yeah, everything will be fine.

Tobi and I slowly reach the gym for morning practice, I totally forgot about my brother. Oh no, he's going to be so upset when he finds out. What if he kills Tōru, or worse, what if he prematurely tells our parents. He can't tell them, I have a plan for that, every time they come home the kid will go to Tōrus, they won't even know the child exists until the child is old enough to tell them, yeah that's a stellar plan.

We enter the gym's sliding doors and the team is at it already. The squeaking of shoes fills the air. A ball slams past Oritsum-Kun, the libero, at an amazing speed. It must've been one of Tōrus serves. I look and see him standing across the court, brow damp with sweat, chocolate-colored hair styled to perfection, a dissatisfied frown on his face probably directed at his serve, he must be pushing himself again because of the upcoming tournament. Looking at him, I can't remember why I was so worried. This is Tōru I'm dating, not some random flakey guy, of course, he's going to be supportive. I don't have anything to worry about.

Im going to go warm up Ri, Tobio tells me. I nod and make my way to Tōru. Sees me coming over and his frown deepens, weird. He walks off the court to his water and that's where I meet him.

Hi Tōru can I talk to you about something? Im sweating bullets. I know he thinks something is wrong or does he. He hasn't looked at me except when he frowned. Am I just being paranoid because of the news or is he acting differently? He finally faces me with a strange look in his eyes.

Not now, how about after school. I've got something to tell you too. Well meet here, okay? Good. He pecks me on the cheek and walks away. Iwaizumi walks after him with a pitying look in his eyes that's directed towards me. Is there something going on? Should I be worried?

Hi, Risa-senpai, Kindaichi-Kun calls me. I force a smile and wave. He held up a ball. Can you set for us? I nod, nothing like volleyball to distract me.

Time skip to Lunch

Is it just me or has everyone been watching me? Some whisper, others openly point, most just send me sad looks. It's super weird, normally I get heated glares from the girls and the guys just stare.

OK. that's it, something is going on and I have a feeling that it has to do with Tōru. He did say he wanted to talk to me after school, I'll just have to wait until then. Pulling out my lunch I look at Tobios instead. Whoops, guess I switched the lunches today. That means he has mine.

Sighing, I get up and head to his classroom. As I walk the whispers follow. It's unnerving to have people not so secretly talking about me, especially when I'm carrying such a big secret.

I see Tobio at a desk with some of the volleyball team. Walking over to them they stop their conversation and acknowledge me. I smile as I approach it's nice that some people treat me normally.

Hey, team mom, Kumini says. Hes been calling me that for a while now. I think Iwaizumi is a better choice for team parent but once Kumini called me that it stuck.

Hello, Kumini. I greet the rest then turn to Tobio. This is yours, I accidentally switched them this morning. he nods.

Are you feeling better? he asks.

Much better, Im sure it was nothing, I assure him.

It wasn't my cooking was it? I laugh.

What happened? Tashiro asks.

Ri was throwing up this morning. they all turn towards me in shock.

And you went to school! Shouldn't you be at home resting? Many cry out in concern.

Im fine. It was nothing. They don't believe it. Insisting I stay for lunch so they can keep an eye on me we eat until the bell rings. Two more classes than the end of the day. I hope everything goes well.

After school in the gym.

Kuminis POV

The Senpais have been acting differently today. Oikawa-san has been frowning at his serves like normal but he also frowned at every mention of Risa-senpai. Iwaizumi-senpai hasn't been talking to Oikawa-san at all, now that I think about it none of the third years have. Has Oikawa-san done something to make them upset? He probably has, knowing him.

The gym is packed, today the coach opened practice for the school to watch. To see how well the team is playing before the tournament. Theres also a beautiful girl on the side court flirting, by the looks of it, with Oikawa-san. Is she another fangirl? Why hasn't Iwaizumi-senpai done anything about it?

Oi, I call to Kindaichi, whos the girl? I nod in the direction of Oikawa-san. He just shrugs and tosses me a ball, we start passing back and forth.

Suddenly the noise quiets as the gym doors open. In pops Risa-senpai, she looks nervous. Why did everything go quiet, wheres the coach? Kindaichi seems just as confused as me, all the first years do.

Risa-chan, over here. Oikawa-san beckons her to him, smirking. He seems happier than he was. The girl next to him is smirking as well, who is she?

Tōru? Risa-senpai questions him. Is everything alright? He nods.

Of course, or it will be. What does that mean? Risa-chan I had something to talk to you about. she nods as he continues. Well, I know we have a good relationship but I have feelings for someone else. He what?! Risa-senpai looks shocked. Risa-chan I think we should break up. She just stares at him. I look at all the people watching, it seems most of the school is. Many are recording whats happening like it's for show. *sighs* Risa-chan Im breaking up with you, Oikawa-san says, then he looks that girl in the eyes and kisses her, pulling away he faces Risa-senpai again. What are you still doing here?

Risas POV

What am I still doing here? Why haven't I started crying, am I broken? I want to cry, sob, yell at him, but I just feel empty, so utterly empty. I stare at them, they seem happy, I shudder. Hes supposed to be happy with me. Hes supposed to be there for me, for our child! OUR CHILD. He doesn't even know, he doesn't want to know, he doesn't deserve to know.

I am not alone, I have this child, I have my brother and my friends. He cant think that I'm just going to leave practice, because of him. I promised the first years to help them, the second years already have a spot for me in the warm-up.

I practice with the team, I'm here because your coach asked me to be. I hear myself retort as I walk over to the first years. And this whole stint of yours is taking up practice time, next time wait until after for personal matters. With that I jump into practice, ignoring the aching in my gut and heart.

A/N Hi, its been a while, oof. That's a my bad. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. just a couple notes. (Risa is Kageyama's only sister in this fanfic, but I wanted to knowledge that Kageyama Miwa is a character and is cool.) This is an AU, a college one. While I will be keeping lots of the original content of the manga, especially the high school background, this fanfic takes place at A University in Tokyo. I will be changing the after high school story to fit my will. I love my readers, see you in the comments and hopefully in the next chapter.
