The mews were gathered in the kitchen when it happened. Keiirchiro was baking a cake and Ryou and the mew girls were happily chatting round a table. Suddenly, the door opened and Masaya walked in. Ichigo jumped up happily.
"Masaya!" she squealed leaning in for a kiss. He pulled away sharply. "What's wrong Masaya?" she asked a frown forming.
"Hey!" called Pudding. "Masaya is getting fat!" Ichigo threw her a reproachful look but Masaya just smiled. Everyone looked down at his stomach. It was true. There was definitely some extra fat there. Masaya stepped forwards and took Ichigo's hand. She looked up at him worriedly.
"Masaya, what's going on?" she asked warily. He took a deep breath.
"Ichigo, there's something I need to tell you…I'm pregnant!" he said in a rush. Everyone stared at him, even Keiirchiro, who had been engrossed in his baking.
"What!?" Ichigo cried. "How can you be pregnant? That's not even possible!"
Ryou chuckled softly, and then turned to Ichigo.
"And I thought your boyfriend couldn't get any weirder!" he laughed. Zakura and Mint were staring, wide eyed at Masaya's stomach, whilst Keiirchiro was shaking his head slowly as if to clear it. Pudding clapped her hands.
"So," she said slowly, "You, a boy, are going to have a baby?" Masaya nodded. "Congratulations I guess then!" Pudding continued.
"HOW CAN YOU BE PREGNANT?!" Ichigo screamed. Her face was red and her eyes blazing. Masaya regarded her calmly.
"Well, this is how it happened…" he looked upwards, as if looking into the past. "I was once a girl. My name was Mary and I, well - how can I put it? – I liked girls. So I saved up and when I was old enough I had a sex change. So here I am a boy. However, apparently I can still have children and…" he gestured down at the bump, "this happened!" Everyone stared, their mouths hanging open and their eyes wide.
"You were a girl!?" she cried, "and you didn't tell me?" she shuddered.
"I'm sorry!" he said, "but I thought you wouldn't like me if you knew I had been a girl!"
"Damn right!" she said, turning away from him. He sighed.
"So…who's the um... father?" asked Mint trying to stifle her laughter. Masaya smiled and looked around the room.
"Ryou is!" he exclaimed. "Ryou's the father!" Ryou stared at him in shock, his eyes open wide. Lettuce gasped and fell off the chair. No one noticed. Everyone was too busy gawking at Ryou, who had turned ghostly pale. Masaya skipped over to Ryou, who remained motionless and rested a hand on his cheek. "The thing is," he continued. "One night, I got bored of girls and decided to revert back to my old ways. Then along came my lovely Ryou here, and, well, I just couldn't resist. Luckily for me, Ryou was drunk and came willingly." He smiled just as Ryou leaned over and puked, right next to where Lettuce lay prone on the floor.
