Naomi took a closer look at her new memories.
She remembered the relationship with Makoto, Jiro's dad, how once
or twice they had been out of condoms but so horny they both didn't
really care.
Half a year before her 16th birthday she hadn't had her period. She
didn't really miss it as she had always hated the monthly bleeding
and thought it was because of all the stress she was going through
at school, preparing for middle school graduation exams. All the
learning had occasionally made her nauseous and sometimes she'd
even vomited, but after some weeks the bouts of sickness stopped.
On the positive side of things, her boobs had a growth spurt around
the same time, making Naomi happy and Makoto even happier.
She had only started to worry when after some months her clothes
didn't fit her any more - she was becoming fat. Her best friend, Miki,
noticed the trouble Naomi had putting her school uniform back on
after gym class.
"Damn it, I'm sure I didn't eat any more than usual recently!" Naomi
complained.
"Naomi, uh... did your period return yet?"
"No, it didn't, why?"
"Well, you haven't had it for more than four months now and your
stomach is getting bigger - did you ever think you might be
pregnant?"
"Pregnant?! No, how could I be preg... oh. My. God..." Naomi had
started to cry when the realisation hit her. Miki hat hugged and
comforted her and after school they had gone to the drugstore to
buy a pregnancy test.
Of course it had been positive as soon as Naomi's pee touched it,
and she had had to tell her parents, who yelled at her for hours;
Makoto, who immediately chickened out and broke up with her; and
her friends at school.
She had been the first student who got pregnant in the history of
her school, so for weeks all the gossip was about her:
"Did you hear Kazamura Naomi is pregnant?"
"Of course, it's old news"
"What will she do now, have an abortion?"
"No, I heard it's too late for that, she didn't notice until she was too
far along."
"How can anybody be so stupid not to use condoms, become
pregnant and then not even notice?"
Luckily, Naomi hadn't had to endure it for long, as the school year
was over and so was her time at middle school. Unfortunately as a
teenage single mom her education was likely to be over too, not
granting her much of a perspective. Returning from the depth of her
thoughts, she realized how much better it would be to have had Jiro
at a later date. She looked at the fairy still fluttering around in the
room.
"Yukiko, I wish I was 21 years old and married."
"Sorry, Naomi, but you have used all of your three wishes."
"WHAT?! Three wishes? You never said I only had three!"
"Didn't I? Must have forgotten to mention it, then. Anyway, gotta go.
Bye!"
Yukiko disappeared into thin air just in time to avoid being hit by the
vase enraged Naomi had thrown at her. It crashed into the wall and
shattered. The sudden loud noise made Jiro pull of his mom's
nipple and start to cry. Rocking and hushing the bawling infant,
Naomi shed some tears of her own as she resigned into her new
fate.
