Alrighty, I adopted this story from the lovely Adazula on FanFiciton. I hope I do you proud :)

These first few chapters are Adazula's original chapters, I've gone through and edited it a little bit so it's in past tense, I can't write present tense worth a damn, and I've added just a few little tweeks.

The other original chapters should be up in the next few days.

1.

"Tadashi!" Aunt Cass shouted as soon her nephew walked through the garage-turned-work room door from his last day of high school. She jumped out of the desk chair she had been sitting into greet the young adult before her.

"Aunt Cass! What's up? Did something happen?" Tadashi said looking at his frantic Aunt. She held out a letter to him. Not just any letter; the anticipated letter from The San Fransokyo Institute of Technology; the school stamp seemed to radiate from the corner of the envelope.

"My letter came." He muttered to himself, breathless. He shakily grabbing the letter from his aunt and stared at it. He didn't know what it was going to say; it could make him or break him. He only applied a few weeks ago, showed the school board and judges at the showcase what he was capable of, and he had been waiting, on pins and needles, for the determination of his entry or denial from the school of his dreams.

"Well don't just stand there! Open it!" She demanded. She knows how much it would mean to her nephew to get in and attend, and she prayed that the school had seen what Tadashi could be and do.

Tadashi tenderly opened the letter and gaped at the clear letters that printed on this letter.

"What does it say?" Cass asked, practically bouncing where she stood.

"Tadashi Hamada." He read the exact words printed in plain black and white, his heart beating in his chest as he cold read it aloud. "It is with great honor to announce to you that you have been accepted into The San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Due to your grade point average and outstanding recommendations, we also would like to offer you a complete scholarship to our institution."

"That's my nephew!" Cass whooped as she pulled her nephew into the tightest hug she could manage, squeezing him to the point where he couldn't breathe. "I am so proud of you!" She stood on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "Oh so very proud!"

"I didn't think I was going to get in. Let alone a full ride." He smiled through the unbelievable shock as he kept re-reading the paper.

"They see you as great addition to their academic community honey. They must want you this bad to give this wonderful opportunity. Oh! Look at my new college man!" Cass squeezed the cheek she just kissed.

Tadashi had indeed been working hard for several years to get into the institute. He wanted to make his parents proud of him. Ever since they passed away, when he was nine, he wanted to live up to his fullest potential. Now it has finally happening. This was the best thing that ever occurred to him.

"Alright!" Cass took a step back from him, a look of deep pride still on her face. "I'm going to whip up some hot wings for dinner tonight to celebrate." She declared right before his cell phone started ringing.

"Sounds great, Aunt Cass." He gave her a smile before he reached to pull his phone out. "Sorry." He apologized to his aunt before he answered. "Hello?"

"Hey Tadashi." A very familiar voice greeted him, a voice he hadn't been expecting to hear from.

"Vivienne?" Tadashi asked, clearly shocked to hear from her. No one ever really expects a call from their ex, especially if it were out of the blue.

Vivienne and Tadashi dated for about a year before they broke up a month ago. He found out that she was cheating on him and asked her about it, she confessed. Long, dramatic story short, they hadn't spoken nor seen each other since that night.

"I know we're not exactly on the best of terms, but I need to talk to you about something. It's important. Can you meet me at the nearby park like right now? At the bench we used to sit at. It can't wait." She asked, sounding sincere with a hint of desperation on her voice.

Tadashi hesitated for a moment. "Uh, alright I'll be there in about ten minutes." He told her before he hung up.

"Why is your ex girlfriend calling you?" Cass asked concerned.

He shrugged, putting the congratulatory acceptance letter back in its little envelope and setting it on his work desk. "I don't know. She wants to talk about something. I'll be right back. Look forward to the dinner." He gave his aunt a small smile before walking out of the garage.

It didn't take Tadashi very long to hop on a tram and end up at the park and find the bench she had mentioned.

She was Japanese American like him and has very messy chocolate brown hair that constantly swallowed her face up. It didn't help that she was on the petite side making her appear younger and more innocent than she really was.

"Tadashi! I didn't know if you would actually show up after what's happened." She muttered when she saw him.

"Unlike you, I keep my promises and tell the truth." He bit out harshly before shaking his head. "Sorry. That was going too far." He sat down next her.

"No, no. I deserved it for hurting you." She waved off his small apology.

"If this about trying to get back together, don't even bother. We have to just plain move on with our lives." He leaned back against the bench and looked at her from the side of his brown eyes.

She shook her head. "No it's not; it's not at all like that. But we can't just move on though." She sighed.

Tadashi raised a brow and turned to face her more. "What does that mean?"

"Remember the night of prom. How we... You know... Did it for the first time?" She said.

"Yeah, pretty stupid on both our parts. We should've waited." Tadashi said. He doesn't want to talk about that night. They both got way ahead of themselves and did it in the back of a car. At the time Tadashi didn't think he was going to be in this position with Vivienne. He had loved her.

She took a deep breath and said what was on her mind, "Tadashi. I'm pregnant." She told him quickly, trying not to lose her courage to tell him.

"You're what?" Tadashi jumped up from the bench and stood in front of her.

"I am." She shrugged her shoulders, looking away from him.

"With my baby?" He began pacing the length of the bench. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. You're the father. You're the only one I had sex with." She mumbled, watching as he disappeared from in front of her vision as he paced.

"How can you so calm when you're pregnant with my baby!" Tadashi questioned still trying to at least grasp the news she had just dropped to him.

"First off, I am not calm, I found out a few days ago so I've had time to actually wrap my mind around it." She finally met his eyes.

"Why did you wait to tell me?" He yelled, mostly from feeling angry about not knowing but also because this was news that he honestly wasn't ready for. How could she have not told him the minute she found out?

"It was finals week! I didn't want you to freak out at the worst possible time!" She said finally shouting back.

Then he got suddenly angry at something else. "You told me you were on birth control!" He said.

"And you were wearing a condom, but I still got pregnant Tadashi! You're just as responsible for this baby as much as me. Hate to break to you, but it takes two to tango!" She said.

He clenched his fists together for a moment as he took a breath. "Alright. We just finished high school. We could get half decent jobs, and an apartment. I just found out that I have a full ride to my college, so I can get an education and be able to support us even more. We can make this work."

"Tadashi. I know you think that's the best thing, but it's not going to work like that." She stated, standing up match him.

"I know we're not on the best of terms, but we have to do it for the baby." He ran a hand down his face as he thought more.

"That's not the problem. The problem's me. I don't want to be a mother." She confessed, breaking his line of concentration.

Tadashi blinked at her, trying to get that into his head now, add that to the equation. "People change their minds all the time. Once you see this baby, you'll want to be his or her mother."

But Vivienne shook her head. "Tadashi, need I remind you that my sister and a couple of her friends are teen moms? I practically was babysitting their kids while they went partying and drugging themselves. I don't want to raise a baby this young; especially with the kind of family that I'm from. I don't want be like my sister. I don't want to worry about diapers or food or if they get injured. I'm not the mothering type." She waved her hands around trying to emphasize her words to him.

Tadashi put his head in his hands. He made mistakes before in his life, everyone had, but nothing to this extent. This particular mistake was life changing, life depending. He had fifteen amazing minutes to believe that things were finally getting on track for him, but now his plans just got completely derailed.

"Tadashi, I know this the last thing you want to hear, but I'm planning to give the baby up for adoption." Vivienne mumbled to him. "I'm willing to give you full custody without contest. But that means you're on your own. I'm sorry, but I can't do this to the baby or myself. I'll give you 'til the end of my pregnancy to make up your mind, but if you don't answer by then I'll assume you flaked and go through with the adoption." She said quietly and turned to walk away.

"V!" Tadashi called after her.

She didn't turn around, but he knew she heard him when he saw her shake her head.

He stood there stock-still for a good minute or so, until he couldn't see her anymore before he sat back on the bench.

That wasn't how his day was supposed to go. At all.
