Chapter 1: Jeopardy
"Well, your baby sure looks happy and healthy inside your womb, Mrs. Kirigaya. She certainly is growing well," declared Asuna's OB-Gyne.
"Wait... Sh-She?!" Kirito gasped in surprise as the doctor made her comment about their child.
"Yes, you are going to have a daughter, and I'm pretty certain that she will be as beautiful as your wife," was the doctor's reply to Kirito's surprised tone.
(Now, what is happening here? I don't seem to get it?)
Well, well, you might be a little bit confused now, so let me enlighten your troubled mind as to what transpired after the Kirito and the other players have successfully logged out from the death game.
Since it has been a full two years that the SAO players have been trapped inside the game, they have to undergo rehabilitation therapy in order for them to regain their former shape.
Despite this, they continued to keep in touch with each other. Those players who were not able to enter high school due to the unfortunate event (though Kirito and Asuna would beg to disagree on this) were placed in a special school for them to catch up with their studies. Not long after, everyone seemed to adapt well to their new reality.
For Kirito and Asuna, their being back in the real world have not changed the way they feel for each other. They continued to be a couple in the real world, and after graduating from high school, they decided to get married...FOR REAL! Surely, there has been some objections from the parents of both sides, but after much talk and convincing done by the couple, they were finally given their blessing.
(Enough of reminiscing...Let's get back to the real story, shall we?)

"Sheesh, I thought we were going to have a son, Asuna," Kirito said in a dejected tone as they were walking out of the doctor's clinic.
"You seem to be disheartened, Kirito-kun. Are you trying to say you do not love our daughter?"
"No, it's not like that Asuna. It's just that I really wanted our first born to be a son. Nonetheless, I'm happy that so far, everything's okay. Kirito then kissed Asuna on the cheek as a proof of his happiness.
"For the record, since we're going to have a daughter, what would you like to name her?" Asuna innocently asked her husband.
"Now that you mentioned it..." Kirito seemed to be lost in thought as he was thinking of what to name their child.
"Hmm.." was all Asuna could say. Thinking about what could be a good name for their daughter surely is giving her a headache.
Suddenly, Kirito's phone rang, bringing them back from their wandering thoughts.
"Moshi-moshi, Kirito-desu (A few silent moments as Kirito listened). Yes sir, I will be on my way now." Kirito hung up with a worried look on his face.
"What was it about?" Asuna asked in a rather worried tone.
"Hmm... Let's just say that there has been a little problem in the office. I'll just fill you in later. For the meantime, just go home and take a good rest. I'll be back before it get's dark."
Kirito hurriedly kissed her wife, and ran towards the direction of their office.
"Chotto matte, Kirito-kun," was all Asuna could say as she watched her husband leaving. "Might as well go home now." Sighing, she hailed a cab to take her home.
Kirito ran as fast as he could. Pure terror clutched his heart after his superior relayed the unfortunate incident.
If that slime did escape, it would surely put Asuna and their unborn child in danger.
With a clenched fist, he declared, " I won't let anyone touch my family. Not you, Sugou Nobuyuki!"
With renewed strength, he sped his way to headquarters.
To be continued..
