A/N In which the members of Muse decide to trick Umi into thinking their all pregnant and she's the dad
The sounds of whispering and giggling could be heard from outside the club room.
Umi was in the process of opening the door when she heard her name being repeated from inside. She wasn't the one to snoop but the rising curiosity became too much even for her.
Placing her ear against the door, Umi tried to make out the hushed tones and what they were saying.
Deciding that this was idiotic, she straightened out and opened the door.
Almost in precise unison, eight pairs of eyes landed on her.
That definitely freaked her out.
"W-what?"
It was that moment that Eli stood up and gestured to the seat she had been sitting on.
"Umi, sit" she ordered.
Umi flinched what's going on? "okay?" she slowly made her way around the table, trying very hard not to take notice of the following gazes that watched her every move.
Once she sat down, Eli placed her hands onto her shoulders. Nozomi and Kotori holding her hands since they were either side of her.
Umi tensed I'm extremely confused and a little scared.
"Umi-chan"
Was that Honoka just now? why is she so serious? Umi gulped and looked over towards her childhood friend. Those eyes that were so full of life looked like a police officer giving an interview.
That was definitely weird.
Finally finding her voice, she answered "y-yes?"
She felt Kotori's fingers tighten around her own "we love Umi-chan very, very much" she added.
"But we have some news" Nico continued.
The archer could feel her heart race at the tension in the room, she really wasn't used to it. The expressions, the tone in their voices. It was becoming unbearable.
"Just don't freak out" Maki led on, twirling a strand of her hair.
They all looked at her "okay?"
Eight pairs of sighs happened at once and once again Umi was back to being freaked out.
She felt Eli's arms move from her shoulders to around her neck, leaning her head against Umi's.
"It'll be a bit of a shock" she gently whispered into her ear.
Umi tensed at the close proximity.
"Is Umi-chan ready nya~" even Rin sounded serious. Well as serious as Rin can sound anyway.
Umi gave a little nod can they just get to the point already?!
"S-sorry for this Umi-chan" Hanayo meekly apologized.
Umi was finally annoyed enough to speak "can you just get to the poi-"
"-Umi-chan we're all pregnant"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…what?"
"We're pregnant"
"…"
"…"
"Okay well it was nice knowing you all but I need to wake up now, if you don't mind"
"You're not dreaming Umi-chan~" Nozomi held onto the girls arm. Her and Kotori keeping her on the chair.
"I must be, how can you ALL be pregnant in real life. I'm dreaming" she concluded confidently.
"Plus who could the father be? as far as I know you don't know any me-"
"You're the father"
"…"
"…"
"… Can I please wake up now?"
"What?! we tell you that you're going to be the dad to eight maybe more children and you answer with that?" Nico yelled, pushing herself off her chair and staring at the surprised second year.
"B-but it doesn't make sense! we're all girls" she reasoned.
"We live in a modern era Umi-chan technology has improved greatly" Nozomi added.
"B-but, but!" she looked frantically between each member. Eyes showing desperation. They turned away in what seemed like shame, cheeks turning slightly pink.
"How could this happen" Umi slumped down onto the table, groaning as her head ached from the impact.
"We are all in you care"
Umi groaned again, looking up with what seemed like defeat. Eli placed a hand onto her shoulder, gently caressing her back.
"We will all help out eight mums at home while daddy goes to work" Umi looked back at her.
"Work?"
"Well how do you think your going to pay for essentials?" Nico asked.
"Pay? essentials?"
After a few moments Umi got up and walked over to the window. Nozomi followed her.
"Don't worry Umi-chan its not all bad"
"Please tell me one reason for this not being bad"
Nozomi smiled seductively and wrapped her arms around Umi's waist "mommies don't just take care of the children. Daddie need some 'special' loving as well~"
"…"
"…"
"Oh! she fainted"
Umi blinked slowly, the world around her was seeming to spin. She groaned and clutched her head.
"Daddies awake!" a high pitched voice called.
"Daddy?"
Raising up, she seemed to be in an unknown living room on a unknown sofa. What? where am I?
A little force landed on her lap, bright blue eyes beaming up at her. At first she thought it was Honoka but once her vision cleared she noticed the small body had dark blue hair.
Wait… dark… blue… hair?
"So she is awake" a voice sounded above her.
Looking up, she came to face a older looking version of Maki. A small child clutching her shirt as the red head held her against her hip.
"Are you just going to sit there or are you going to help?" another voice followed.
Nico coming into her view, wearing an apron.
"Mommy, I think daddy fainted"
"Gah!"
Jolting up, Umi looked around to find all her friends surrounding her. Worried expressions on their faces.
Umi screamed again and rushed to her feet.
"Umi?"
"You-you aren't pregnant are you?" she asked skeptically.
"What? what on earth made you think of that?" Nico asked, very un-amused by the question "are you trying to say something?"
Umi stared for a few moments. Then she started to laugh.
She carried on laughing as she made her way to the door, catching her breath as she opened it and left.
"Well, I think that went well"
