Truthfully, it should be Meisa who feels guilty, Meisa who ran off to the court house without a word to her very best friend, Meisa who waited two months to tell Maki that she was pregnant, Meisa who finally rung Maki up after all the tabloids and all the reporters and her single debut and--and Maki comes over, loyal and loving and never once judging. Maki who feels guilty because she doesn't know the sex of Meisa's baby because this is the first time they've been allowed a decent conversation in far too long.
"We decided to think of a name after the birth--we wanted to be surprised." There is a hollow ring after the word. We. We, once upon a time, used to mean Meisa and Maki, MxM, bright and eager and ready to take on the world. We would be inseparable: during photo shoots, walks around the block to get a terrible cup of coffee at two in the morning, endless talking about everything and anything and shared secrets just before falling asleep at night.
"I hope the baby is healthy." And she means it because Maki refuses to lie, not to Meisa, would rather say nothing at all instead of lying. "I guess it's too late for that drinking competition."
And Meisa finally breaks, slinks to the floor at Maki's feet and tries so hard to keep the tears at bay. She is only 23, soon to be 24, and already she feels the world crumbling around her; the career she worked so hard for, her best friend in the world, the future she was striving toward, all slipping from her fingers because she stubbornly wanted to be happy and she would give anything in the world to be 14 again, young and in love with life with no responsibilities or repercussions.

"Meisa," Maki says, but Meisa can't look at her, feels so embarrassed and weak and human when she's always been the stronger one. "Mei-chan."
And they are 14 again, tangled in each other's arms, bony and soft and fragile, foreheads pressed together and Meisa suddenly doesn't know if she's laughing or crying. "Have I made a mistake?" she hiccups into Maki's hair. "Have I thrown away everything I've ever wanted?"
"But this is what you wanted, Meisa. You said one day you wanted to find love, to fall in love and get married and have a child--two in fact. A girl and a boy. You promised to name them Maki and Mako." Meisa smiles despite herself, Maki's breathing and the gentle nuances of her voice and youthful nostalgia calming the emotional torrent in her heart.
"You're not really holding me to that, are you?"
"I am." Maki laughs, untangling from Meisa enough to press her hands against the curve of her stomach. "I'm going to love this baby--little Maki or Mako--so much." Maki's eyes are wet at the corners, and the sight is enough to break Meisa all over again until they are both sobbing their eyes out.
"You'll be over all the time, right?" Meisa cries, voice cracking and shuddering as Maki sniffs and nods and wipes at Meisa's eyes before taking care of her own tears.
"Of course. I'm going to buy this baby so many booties. And books! You will have the most well read, warm-footed baby in the world," Maki chokes out, Maki whose is normally so poised and put together, and even though Meisa's older and has always considered herself stronger and wiser, she knows that everything up to this point would not have been the same without Maki.
"I can't wait." Meisa says at last, when their tears have dried sticky warm trails on their cheeks, and her voice has calmed. "I can do this."
"Of course you can," Maki says, knocking their knees together. "You're Meisa--Satsuki. You can do this and anything and everything." Meisa smiles a watery smile and nods. She can do this and anything and everything because Maki will be there every step of the way.
