Cravings

Notes: Wheee!! I'm writing again. More prompt by heart-san.
"Green tea pocky, Chicken Marengo, and anything you want to get to drink, I'm not picky." Natsuki was sure that the "anything to drink, I'm not picky" meant that Shizuru wanted Sprite, since the pregnancy the older woman had became addicted to the soft drink. She was lucky that there was a restaurant that opened until two in the morning, and being only eleven at night right now, she wouldn't have to run through half the city looking for that particular chicken dish (as she had had to do that time that Shizuru wanted a specific brand of strawberry flavored milk).
"Anything more Shizuru?" She said after she finished writing the list and putting on her gloves.
"More?" Oh, gods! Why did she have to speak? "Does Natsuki think I'm a greedy cow? It's because I'm fat?"
The bicker quickly lifted her hands, last time they had this conversation (it had been happening almost every four days lately) she had managed to say the wrong thing again and Shizuru had thrown her a vase, luckily Natsuki's HiME reflexes saved her. Now instead, the light haired woman was crying and Natsuki was pretty sure she preferred anger to tears.
"Shizuru, you are not fat, you are pregnant. And you are eating for two now; and if my genes weren't tainting yours, I'm sure that you will barely eat anything." She said while hugging her girlfriend to her, one of her hands caressing the oversized belly (not that she was going to say that last part to Shizuru; she liked her head where it was). "Now, I'm going to go and buy what you asked me, and then we are going to feed that greedy Kuga that you have inside."
"I like your genes, my Natsuki." The dark haired biker sighed in relief; apparently she had managed to avoid this mood swing without major problems. She gave a kiss to her girlfriend and then one to her belly when Shizuru showed it to her and then she let herself leave their house.

Natsuki entered the conbini, after placing her order in the restaurant; to her surprise she saw two familiar faces already there, Minagi Mikoto seemed to be helping Kurauchi Kazuya put a cold water bottle over his eyes. Since Akane and Mai had gotten pregnant roughly at the same time as Shizuru, their three partners had become friends after meeting each other in their midnight runs, the advantages had been that they could exchange data and advice whenever needed (and offer comfort when the mood swing attacked).
"He used the F-word." Mikoto supplied after seeing Natsuki enter with a questioning look.
"She asked me for some marshmallows" Explained the guy while keeping the bottle on his eye and forehead. "And I remind her she always said that eating so much sugar always made her fat… Next thing I know my alarm clock hit me."
"I almost had a crisis like that earlier." She said while patting her new friend's shoulder. "So I got green tea pocky, Sprite and Chicken Marengo."
"Peaches and apples." Mikoto said while lifting a bag.
"Marshmallows, strawberries and milk." They had it easy this night. "Almost three months and we can meet our kids."
The three sighed, they doubted that they could wait the three whole months, but soon they will take their revenge on their kids for putting them through this.
End.
More Notes: Prompts were: "1) pocky 2) chicken 3) mood swings (and just for kicks Shizuru can't be the only one having mood swings) 4) Shizuru pregnant with Natsuki's baby 5) any thing you want to add to these". In a small trivia Chicken Marengo is one of my favorite foods and Sprite was my sister constant craving while pregnant with my niece (the little now is, five years after being born, still addicted to the drink).
