So.. Yeppers, I have been gone for awhile. School starting and all down/over/around here in Florida, that not so sunny state! I went to open house and found out that two times every month my pre-IB Spanish teacher is gonna teach the class in Spanish and rely on us to know what it means X(
Anywho, this is a birthday present for Splodge82! Sorry for it being so late… Hope you enjoy it! (If you want it longer just say so, I enjoyed typing this!)
Fourth month
One step, two step, three step, four..
I hummed a bit as I jumped floor boards, a small hand on my slightly rounded stomach. It was boring when Vinnie was away, I was left to sprawl alone in this huge mansion, I couldn't go outside because Vinnie is always warning me not to step a foot outside of the house unless he escorted me.
Big overprotective soon to be dad already husband!
I sighed as I jumped on a squeaky board, taking a mental note to tell Vinnie to fix it. I was four months along with my pregnancy and it was treating me fairly well since I was over morning sickness, though I couldn't control my appetite so my ninja figure was getting out of shape, damn.
"You better be hyper so we can work Mommies fat off after you're out of me" I muttered to my still developing baby in my stomach as I patted it lightly. I jumped once more and then skipped off to the newly furnished living room, jumping lightly on the couch while successfully grabbing the remote, "at least I still have my ninja skills with me".
I sighed again when an ache went through my stomach, "maybe I do but I shouldn't".
I turned on the television and glared at the screen, I usually have Vinnie to stare at but as you already know, he's not here, with me, to comfort and entertain me. I groaned.
"When is daddy gonna be home?" I asked tracing patterns on my stomach, huffing lightly as my eyes still stayed on the television, watching a sappy love story.
Hmm.. Maybe it isn't as boring as I thought it would be, that guy is getting his ass handed to him by that blond chick for cheating on her best friend. Poor girl but she was doing the right thing..
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"No you F***ing moron! Don't throw her off the ledge!" I cried rubbing my teary eyes as I continued to watch the soap opera, "save her Danny! Yes jump in to get her!". This thing was really awesome, the secret boyfriend was giving up his life to save the blond. It was a whole drama filled thing and I loved it!
"Daddy is just like that nice guy acting" I sobbed grabbing a handful of popcorn and shoved it into my mouth as the tears continued to fall, the hand that wasn't greasy was on the bump of my stomach, "NO! You ass! They're supposed to end up together!".
Danny was laying in the water, barely floating with a wound to his head, the blond girl that just revealed her real, legal, name to be Sophie was laying on his chest, trying to swim him to shore but that damned cheating ex-boyfriend had jumped in and was now swimming towards the couple.
"Why don't you drown you ass!" I cried sobs wracking my body, "this isn't fair!". I stuffed more popcorn in my mouth to muffle my cries, my eyes stinging as I continued to watch.
"Yuffie?"
"AH! Don't drown me!" I screamed pushing the bowl of popcorn out of my lap and trampled over the couch to hide from the intruder, "I'm a poor impregnated girl!" tears were still rolling down my cheeks as I heard Sophie scream out at her ex, something about protecting Danny.
"Yuffie, get up you should already be in bed right now- what are you watching?"
I sniffed and peaked my head over the couch to see my Vinnie holding the remote with a stoic expressing as his eyes went from the screen to my face. He raised his eyebrows.
"That bad man is gonna kill Danny and leave Sophie to grieve!" I cried running around the couch and launched myself into Vinnie's waiting arms, "he's gonna kill him!".
".. Yuffie, you know it is a made up show, right?" Vinnie sighed stroking my back, his embrace soft as to not crush our child in my stomach.
"I know but it's so sad!" I sobbed clutching on to him for dear life.
"If I tell you something would you feel better?" Vinnie chuckled kissing my forehead.
"I-I guess" I sniffed pushing my face into his black shirt, inhaling his scent that made me feel safe and at home.
"This is a rerun"
"Yeah jerk! That's not nice!" I cried the tears doubling over and started to punch his chest lightly.
"No, Yuffie" Vinnie chuckled rubbing my shoulders, "I watched it when I was a Turk".
"Really?" I sniffed, "Sophie and Danny stay together?".
"A happy ending" Vinnie stated his hand traveling down my side and to my stomach, "how's our bundle doing?".
"Missing Daddy" I giggled kissing his chin.
Fifth Month
I sniffed and sniffed, adoring the scent of the fragrance that was emitted from the heated tub. It was that soap, jasmine, that was on sale at one of the markets near Teef's bar, and since he was being the thoughtful man that he was Vinnie had bought it for me. It was a very, very, good deed of him 'cause I was getting sick of that old soap that we had last time.
I sighed, leaning more into the tub to get a stronger scent and when I went to sniff it water shot up my nose and stung it like one of Cerberus's bullets shot me in the nose. It never happened but still, it hurt!
"Vinnie!" I cried holding my nose in agony and fell back onto my butt, then slid onto my back as the burn continued on. I pinched my nostrils to see if it would stop the pain but it only made it worse, "Vinnie, it hurts!".
Okay maybe I shouldn't have used those specific words, 'cause the crash I heard downstairs didn't sound very good, not that any crash was good, but other things crashed after that as feet banged to the staircase.
Oops.
My hand went to my big stomach as I tried to sit back up. Really I didn't want him to see me in my secret Chocobo robe that I made the one and only Chocobo head snuck in to give to me. It wasn't easy but he managed to hold on to the drainage pipes long enough.
"Never mind! I got it!" I screamed grunting as I had difficulty getting up on the tiled floor since all the steam coming out of the bath making the moisture build up too much, thus the floor was slippery. Alas I still heard the thunderous footsteps getting nearer. "I told you I got it Vinnie!".
The footsteps still came.
I cursed under my breath and quickly pealed off the robe and threw it carelessly in the closet before scurrying to the bathtub, the nose burn long forgotten. The water was a bit too hot for my liking, the stinging in my stomach told me the baby didn't like it either, but I ignored it and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and quickly scrubbed it in my hair to make it appear I just banged my head.
And washing your hair helps swelling, proven fact.
"Yuffie?" Vinnie's voice protruded the tensed air as the bathroom door busted open. I really couldn't see anything because the stupid shampoo got in my eyes and irritated it instead.
So, out with the head banging and in with soap in eyes.
"Vinnie, the shampoo's in my eyes" I whined rubbing my eyes fiercely, "help".
"Yuffie" Vinnie's voice sighed as it got closer until a hand was placed on my cheek and a hand with a fabric in it then started rubbing softly against my closed eyelids.
"Thanks, Vinnie" I giggled peaking my eyes open and when they didn't sting I blinked then looked up goofily at Vinnie, he was leaned over me with a stressed out look on his face, red eyes brimmed with more unhealthy red. "Vin-Vin's?".
".. You gave me a fright, Yuffie, please do not do that again" Vinnie sighed closing his eyes and leaned his forehead on mine.
"Aw, sorry, Vinnie" I cooed reaching up with a wet and bubbly head and stroked his hair softly, I leaned forward and brushed my lips across his, pleased on finding that he sighed in relaxation. "wanna join me?".
"No thank you, though do you want to join me downstairs?" Vinnie chuckled kissing my cheek, "it is getting close to your bedtime".
"Make hot coco for me?" I asked trying to make a good deal. Seriously I hated this whole getting sleep for two thing, it sucked.
"Of course" Vinnie chuckled kissing my cheek one more time before his hand went into the water, not having to go far 'cause the thing was getting bigger each week, and stroked my stomach, "do you need any help?".
"Actually yes" I giggled pointing to the towel bin a couple feet from us.
Vinnie smiled and go up, snatched the dry material then came back with it fully stretched out.
"Close your eyes, you perv" I instructed with a grin.
"Yuffie, I have seen you naked before" Vinnie pointed out shaking his head but gave up as his eyes closed.
"Yeah and look where that got us" I giggled rising from the bathtub and wrapped the towel around me, "now can we have chocolate now?", I poked his back a couple of times until he turned around and enfolded me in his warm arms, so very warm and soft.. Cushiony too. A yawn bubbled up out of my lips and a weariness spread through me, my head leaned into Vinnie's chest and closed my eyes not waking up until the next morning.
Sixth Month
"Yuffie, move" Teef growled hands on her hips eyes blaring with anger and impatience as she stood in front of me while I held onto Vinnie's leg on the floor, gulping.
"No" I stated shaking my head fiercely burring my face into Vinnie's pant's leg, "I hate that place, I don't wanna see!" I hated hospitals so very much, they gave me an uneasy feeling. I mean seriously why would people want to work at a job when you have to tell family that someone died or that a surgery went wrong? Heck, how could they torture pregnant woman like me!? "they aren't nice, not one bit!".
"You need to go so we can start buying clothes for your baby, Yuffie!" Teef stated clenching her teeth together to the point I could see her pulse beating in her neck, "Vincent, help me out!".
"I'm not participating in anything that stresses her out" Vinnie stated shaking his head while he continued reading his novel, eyes straying on the page to the scene next to him off and on.
"And why not!?" Teef argued stomping her foot on the ground. Hey, and people call me childish..
"'Cause he doesn't want to face the wrath of me!" I defended him sticking my tongue out at her to only receive a glare, which I tightened my hold around Vinnie's leg in response.
"Yeah, do you want to face my wrath, Yuffie?" Teef strained out, her lip curling.
I gulped and hid my head under Vinnie's knee, "are you threatening a pregnant woman, Teef, shame!". Okay, so maybe pushing her button further wasn't a good idea, but the great Yuffie Kisaragi can't give in at a moment like this- especially if it depends on not going to the stupid hospital!
"Yuffie, you are going to the hospital whether you like it or not!" Teef barked out stomping towards me her face turning red.
"No! Vinnie!" I wailed wrapping my arms around my humongous stomach and wrapped my legs around his leg, "I don't wanna!".
"It is just a sonogram, Yuffie, don't you want to know the gender of our child?" Vinnie asked as I felt his hand run through my hair softly, his fingers working magic.
"Well.. Yeah" I admitted rubbing my stomach lovingly and felt a kick as a reward, it kinda hurt since it felt like bruises were forming on the inside, and I just smiled sweetly, "but I don't wanna go now".
"Yuffie, I scheduled your appointment already!" Teef scolded her foot tapping on the hardwood floor.
"Well then, that's your fault!" I stated smugly. It was true too! I didn't ask for her to do that, no sirrey!
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Why'd she have to go blackmailing me, Vince?" I sniffed clutching the front of his cloak as he carried me into the freezing hospital with a stoic expression, "that was low". I tried to curl tighter against him but my stomach prevented me from doing that.
"You'll thank me later, you'll see!" Teef declared, a smirk gracing her features as she glided past us to the registration desk. Ugh, how I wanted to strangle her so badly right now!
"Don't stress" Vinnie told me his breath streaming in my hair, "an hour is all it takes".
"In an hour the world could go into utter chaos!" I growled clenching my eyes closed when I heard Teef ask for the doctor's room. It was on the third floor. "Vinnie I'm claustrophobic, please don't make us go on the elevator".
Vinnie let out a sigh and left without a word to Teef heading towards the stairs.
"Don't drop me" I ordered squirming a bit to get a better grip on him. He kept quiet as he opened the doorway to the staircase and started the first few steps while I looked up.
I gulped.
For only going up three floors the stairs looked real long, millions and millions of steps going up, up, up. And right now we were going up, up, up- at a pace that wasn't fast enough for me.
"Hurry, Vinnie" I murmured tugging at his coat, in which he gave a grunt to and our pace was upped a bit. Much better. I could see the second floor door pass and we were flying through to the third one… "Are we going to beat Teef, Vinnie?".
A shrug was my answer.
"Why are you being so quiet?" I asked my eyebrows furrowing as I raised my hand to let my finger trail across his cheek and over his lips were now in a thin tense line. "what's wrong?".
He shook his head and came to a stop when we reached the door to the third floor.
I sighed and let my finger skim him tensed jaw line before letting it drop in my lap, "let's get this over with".
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"YOU F***ERS! GO F*** YOURSELVES! HE'S MY HUSBAND THAT KNOCKED ME UP SO GET OVER IT- IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S A DISEASE!" I screamed my throat out as I continued throwing those stupid birth magazines at the other pregnant woman who now were in the huddled in the corner escaping my wrath. They sure as hell should be, looking and then whispering like we were deaf, talking about Vinnie and him looking like the type of father who would-ARGH. "YOU PISS ME OFF SO MUCH! HE WOULDN'T DO THAT!".
So I had started this fit after Vinnie excused himself to get coffee out of the lobby on the first floor. I had to because he would be the perfect gentlemen and not do anything about these damned people's gossiping.
"Miss Kisaragi, calm down" A nurse said calmly as she raised her hands up in defense and started towards me, but that flared my anger up even more.
"F*** YOU! IT'S MRS. VALENTINE!" I hollered grabbing another magazine and flung it at her.
"We need back up" the nurse whispered into the microphone that was looped around her ear.
"We need back up" I mimicked sitting back down and huffing to regain my breath. Just as I was calming myself tears sprung to my eyes.
Damn hormones.
They had said so many bad things about Vinnie, saying that he wasn't fit to be a father, that he looked dangerous and probably raped me and is holding me captive, stupid things like that that pushed my buttons so badly.
I rubbed the back of my hand fiercely over my eyes and sniffled a bit.
"Miss?" the nurse asked cautiously as she slowly walked towards me with her hands raised, "please calm down, I have called everyone off so it's all right".
"I want Vinnie" I cried my vision getting blurred as tears forced their way into my eyes and over, "I want Vinnie!".
"Who's Vinnie, Miss? We need to know so we can find him" The nurse hushed a hand on my shoulder but I brushed it off.
"Just ask for Vinnie!" I cried as a hiccup came up, "..I want my Vinnie". I buried my face in my hands to try and control all my emotions, but sobs racked through my frame each passing minute.
"Yes, we need a 'Vinnie' to come up to the third floor, please" the nurse spoke into the mike as she went to try and comfort the other cowering woman.
They deserved it.
Minutes passed before I felt something warm wrap around my shoulders and a weight next to me. Something like a hand went to the side of my face and pushed it to the other side into something even warmer while the hand held me in place.
"Shut up Vinnie"
