Faster than a Kiss Fanfic – The Ineffable: First Trimester (1)

Kumaneko University Division – near the English lecture halls

"Hurry up, we'll be late for Ojiro-sensei's class!" Yui, a girl wearing a green sweater and jeans was pulling Fumino along, speed-walking to the lecture hall for their English class. "I heard that this Ojiro-sensei is transferred from the high school division. My sister used to be in his class."

"Uh…yea…" Fumino did not know how to reply to this. Of course she knew about this 'new' Ojiro-sensei. In fact he had just notified her that he was transferring to the university division this morning as she was leaving for school.

It was her second week in university and she was beginning to enjoy her new freedom as an university student when Maa-kun announced at breakfast that he was to transfer to the university English department to keep a close eye on her.

Fumino blushed at the memory of him leaning very close to her as he said this. He had also whispered, "you know, I would love to watch our baby grow inside you".

Yui didn't notice Fumino's unusual blush and continued to pull her to the lecture hall, totally oblivious to the little life growing in Fumino.

They found two seats in the middle and had barely settled down when Maa-kun walked in with an older professor. He was wearing his usual glasses with a white shirt and a green-striped tie, hand picked by Fumino this morning.

"Class!" The older professor – Professor McKinon – tried to get everyone's attention and waited till the class quiet down. "This is Ojiro-sensei, he will our TA [A/N: TA = teacher's assistant. They usually do the marking and help the professor with trivial things like setting up the powerpoint presentations, etc.] for this year. Please give him a warm welcome".

A thunderous clapping erupted from the class of 150 students. Everyone was glad to have a TA, because they have all heard about how hard Professor McKinon's marking is.

Maa-kun lifted his hand at the warm welcome the class gave him and saw Fumino sitting in the middle. He gave her a warm smile, easing her worries. He could also hear her worries about him having to handle such a big class.

Fumino was watching Maa-kun as she clapped, his smile brightened her worry-clouded mind. He would be fine, Fumino thought, he is my Kazuma after all!

Yui, sitting beside Fumino, saw the smile too and also noticed Fumino's reaction. There was something going on between those two. Yui was the first friend Fumino made in university, they had met in philosophy class and became friends instantly because they found out that they share a lot of common bonds – like their interest in detective dramas, their adoration to their younger brothers, and of course, they have the same major – English.

It was four weeks since Fumino found out about the baby. She remembered the conversation she had with Maa-kun in the park, no it was more than a conversation, it was more like, a strengthening in their bond. Their relationship had embarked on a new journey with the new addition to their family.

Fumino put her hand gently on her tummy, she still felt amazed at the new life that was growing inside her. She was becoming a mother.

This four weeks were a little hectic because she was starting university and also everyone in the family was processing the news that she was having a baby.

The person that worried the most was Maa-kun. He had wanted Fumino to stop school for one year, at least until the baby was born, so she would have less chance to miscarry. However Fumino did not want to let the gap between her and Kazuma to grow any more. Going to university was a big step for her to catch up to him. She did not want to let that go away.

After a couple of nights of heated arguments about whether Fumino should continue school or not, Maa-kun finally gave in. Fumino did not know why did Maa-kun gave in all of a sudden. They had stopped talking to each other for a few days and Maa-kun came up to her one morning and hugged her gently.

"Fumino," he said softly, Fumino could feel his breath on her ears and also her face blushing, "I'm sorry. For not considering how you would feel about stopping school for a year. I understand that you would love to go to university with people of your age. If you promise to be extra careful, then you can start school next week".

Fumino's heart leaped for his unexpected closeness. He had been distancing himself from her ever since learning the news of the baby, and the distant grew as they fought these two weeks. It was nice to feel him close to her again.

She asked about why he had been distancing him from her, and she saw a suspicious blush on Maa-kun's face. He muttered something like "I didn't want to hurt the baby" and Fumino giggled despite herself. He could be so sweet sometimes.

And so Fumino, with the help of Maa-kun and Teppei-kun, had began her life as a mother-to-be. The three of them decided that they should take a walk after dinner to make sure Fumino would have enough exercise, because Maa-kun heard that pregnant women should have enough exercise to ease the difficulty when they deliver.

Teppei-kun had been a great little helper, and had listened intently as Maa-kun explained that he would soon be an uncle. Teppei-kun was very excited about the new baby and the fact that he was to be a 'big boy' now and needs to take care of his sister.

Fumino smiled with felicity as she listened to Maa-kun's self-introduction. This was a great beginning to her new life. With the people she cared about around her, and also taking care of this new life inside her.
