Now they are happily living in the subdivision for more than 2 yrs. They were so in love for each other and because of that the God gave them a beautiful gift.
"LOVE there's something I want to tell you."
And Natsuki was puzzled so she held her wife's hand pull her to bed and put her arms around her shoulders, "and what is it love?"
"I don't know if you believe this but I think you have a right to know my condition."
"Is it serious or something?"
"Yes and it's important."
"Okay now tell me, what is it?"
Love, I'm.. I'm pregnant."
And Natsuki couldn't believe what she heard, "what did you say?"
"I said I'm pregnant, 3 weeks this day."
"Impossible..,how,how come?"
"I don't know either, this part 3 weeks I just feel something inside me."
"After we made love?"
"Yes. And don't think I'm with another guy cause I'm not that kind of girl and besides you're the only one I love."
"Of course not. You prove enough of your love to me. I'm just thinking why?"
"Even me."
"You're not wishing for that kind of gift right?"
"I wished once during my birthday."
"Now I know why you're pregnant."
"Are you not happy?We have a baby."
"I don't know.50/50."
"Why? I thought you'll get happy cause we have an upcoming child," she said in a sad voice.
"No. Don't think like that. I'm just thinking."
"What you're thinking?"
"Of how we take care of that child."
"Maybe we find the answers after I born this."
"My work is not enough to sustain her/his needs."
"Then I will help you."
"No,no,'re pregnant and all you have to do is to think is the baby and take care of yourself."
"Love, our baby. Not the baby," she protested.
"Okay. Love can we sleep now? I'm tired."
"Sure," and they arranged their bed then they laid down in each others arms. "Love?"
"Nn?"
"You know what, after I knew that I'm pregnant I'm happy."
"Really?"
"Yes and I'm not thinking why this happening I just accept it. You?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'm just afraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"Afraid of I can't take care both of you and protect both of you. Cause you know this generation."
"That they will talk about us? And how our baby comes to us?"
"Yes that's it."
"Then I will do my responsibility too, you're not alone love. I'm your wife and soon to be a mother, I also protect both of you, the way you do."
And Natsuki smiled and she touch her wife's cheek and they we're both smiled.
"I love you Shizuru," she whisper.
"I love you too Natsuki, always."And Natsuki kiss her.
"You're kidding bro."
"No,I'm not, it's a long story, even me I can't believe it."
"Maybe she jerk on someone and pretending you're the father."
"She have no reason to do that and besides she already proven her love to me and I trust her and do you think I'm idiot?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know every move of her."
"You mean..?"
"Yes bro I put a surveillance cam around our house even in the inside, actually I used it for safety for the intruders and I never saw Shizuru left at house. Yes she left but just a minute she came back. And you know already how many hours it takes when you jerk your wife, right?"
"Yeah you're right."
"Now all I want is your suggestion , you already have a family and a child."
"Having a child is really wonderful , in Shizuru's situation now, all you can do is to understand her."
"Why? What would happen?"
"If Shizuru is scary, times three now that she's pregnant."
"Really? What's more?"
"She will be fat soon."
"It's okay with me, no matter what happen she's still beautiful and I will love her."
"Ayayhay.. you're soon to be a father bro."
"Yeah you're right."
"Speaking of your wife she's here."
"Really?" and she look outside then a smile curve on her lips and she didn't waste another sewcond, she quickly left at the office to greet Shizuru on her own.
"Shizuru," she called.
"Natsuki," then Natsuki embrace her.
"Hey love what are you doing here?"
"I forgot to to gave you this," then handed the lunch box.
"You don't have to do it love."
"Why not?"
"Cause in lunch break I will go home."
"You are?"
"Yes, so don't do it again okay?" then hold her cheek and kiss her, "and you must be careful from now on, you have to take care of yourself and our baby."
"You mean, you accept our baby?"
"Of course I am."
"Then I will go home."
"No, no, no. You're already here, we can take our lunch together and after that I will take you home."

They always visit to the obgyne together for daily check sometimes they fight but Natsuki understand her wife so she long enough her patience and in the first place she promised to herself and to God that she will never ever raise a hand against her wife Shizuru.
"Natsuki..," Shizuru called.
"Love why are you still awake?"
"I'm just worried."
"Worried about what?"
"Our fight these past few days."
"Ahh..it's okay I understand."
"But I don't feel like it's okay."
"What do you mean?"
"I just knew that you never talk to me, you didn't argue, you just say "sorry" even though it's my fault."
"Because I understand your situation, our baby might be angry, she's inside you and she feel what was happening, I always love you Shizuru no matter what happen."
"I'm sorry for our fights Natsuki..," and her tears fell, Natsuki quickly wipe it.
"It's okay, hmm..?" and Shizuru agreed and she threw herself to her husband.
"I love you."
"I love you too, we will surpass this and we will protect our child."
"Yes love." And Natsuki kiss her.
"Come on now, let's get inside, it's getting cold."
"Yes." And they get inside.

After the check up they knew that their baby is strong and they also knew it was a baby girl. They saw their baby in the ultrasound.
"She's cute..," Natsuki said happily.
"You're right, she's strong like you."
"Is that your baby Sir?" the doctor said.
"Yes doctor, she's our baby," Natsuki answered.
"How come?"
"We don't know want to know, cause we're already know that she's a gift from God to us."
And doctor smiled.

"Just like what we saw in Takeda's child?"
"Uh-huh."
"I'm excited," then rub.

"Don't worry I can handle it and besides you're at my side supporting me, don't worry Shizuru it's my obligation for our first child and you."
"Please sometimes let your body rest."
"If I seen you everyday I fell at ease, come here," and hug her, "you became so emotional."
"I'm just worried."
"I know and I worried about you too."
"Why?"
"I'm worried, our neighbor might hurt you again."
"Then I'll come with you."
"At work?"
"Uh-huh."
"Are you sure, it's dirty there."
"No problem to me."
"Okay we must sleep now."
"Embrace me love, it's cold."
"It's my pleasure," and they slept in each others arms.
They prepared the things they want to bring when the sun shines.
"We used the car."
"Okay."
"Be careful."
Until Shizuru get inside, "thank you love."
"Anytime my love," and she close the door, "wait here I will open the gate."
"Okay."
When Natsuki successfully opened the gate, she saw their neighborhood. And her face get serious.
"What do youwant?" she ask seriously and Shizuru saw the happening in the side mirror so she go out and came forward to her husband.
"What's the problem, love?" and she also saw them then she quickly held Natsuki's arms.

"Natsuki we're here to apologize for what we've done and we realize it's wrong."
"We're not God to quickly judge you both, so we're sorry."
"That's right Natsuki, hope you forgive us."
"If all of you gracefully accept us then we will forgive you," Shizuru said.
"Yes that's right, we're neighborhood so please do mind your business, let us live happily here," Natsuki agreed.
"So you mean you forgave us?"
