I do not own anything. Just my imagination. Story uses Mai Otome names and characters but a mixture of ideas! For example I will mention their children later but they will also have their gems.
"Natsuki, can you get you get me some pickles and hot sauce?"
These snacks are very common in the Kruger-Voila household ever since Shizuru got pregnant. The beautiful eight month pregnant woman had Natsuki working herself to the bone but the former Ice Princess was happy enough to do it.
Natsuki runs up the stair of their house and opens the door to their room. "What angel?"
"I want pickles and hot sauce. While you're at it can you pick me up some tacos?"
Shizuru was home on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, her protective wife made sure of that.
"Of course my angel, anything you need." Natsuki kissed the Kyoto beauty and grabbed her leather jacket.
Natsuki turned around to see Shizuru glaring at her. "Buy some for sale signs to." Shizuru says with an icy voice.
"But, but…" Natsuki didn't know what to say. Shizuru could get so angry and try to kill her or cry so hard that it hurt Natsuki. Either way she loses and sleeps on the couch. She just smiles and walks out.
Natsuki returns with everything Shizuru had asked for and some more mayo, when she turns to see her beloved wife attempting to walk down the stairs. Natsuki put down the bags and jogs to Shizuru's side, wrapping her arm around her waist and giving her Shizuru her hand, helping her down the stairs.
"Zuru haven't I said to ask for my help."
"I'm not a helpless little animal Natsuki I'm capable of taking care of myself."
"I know you are, think of it like this, I'm taking care of the baby."
Shizuru gives her a glare that could make a grown man run in fear but Natsuki had grown accustomed to this glare. She just smiled slightly and once they reached the bottom of the stairs let her go.
She picked up the bags and handed Shizuru the pickles and hot sauce.
"I don't want this."
"What? That's what you asked for."
"But you didn't get the right pickles these are dill I wanted sweet."
"You never said that." Natsuki doesn't turn around because she can feel the holes being bore into the back of her head.
"I told you I wanted hot sauce so why would I want something sour, why not sweet?"
"I'm not sure why?" Not even taking another thought Natsuki grabs her jacket and the keys and walks towards the door when, smash! Shizuru had thrown the pickle jar at Natsuki and had only missed by inches. She turns around very slowly her emerald eyes wide in surprise not fear. She knew that if Shizuru wanted to hit her she would have.
"Zuru? Hime? What's wrong?"
"You didn't but any for sale signs!"
Natsuki just stood there. Yes she hadn't because she wanted to keep her beloved Ducati. It had made forth on her list of things she loved most; under Shizuru, their baby and her mother.
"Hime, we agreed before that if you I got us a safe little five person family car I could keep my motorcycle." She talked very calm and slowly walked towards the hormone crazed woman.
As she got almost close enough to hug her none other than Nao comes bursting through the door. "Natsuki, explain to me why Emma-O* shouldn't get to meet you? Tomoe says she heard a crash and some yelling!" Tomoe follows closely behind.
"Damn it Nao! Haven't you heard of knocking?"
Tomoe sneaks passed the now arguing cousins towards the weeping woman. She kneels down on the floor next to her and wraps the pregnant woman in her arms. The sobs could be barely heard over Nao and Natsuki.
The green hair woman enraged at the fighting yelled, "Enough! Natsuki take care of Shizuru and Nao apologize for barging in."
Natsuki had not realized that her wife was crying rushes to her sides and begins whispering words of comfort to her. Nao bows mumbling an apology and walks out the door together with Tomoe.
Natsuki stands up pulling the love of her life with her. Not speaking a word she picks up Shizuru in her arms, grunting slightly realizing the error in her ways. Not wanted to insult her she carries her up the stairs to their bed.
"Natsuki I'm sorry."
"It's okay I know you weren't trying to hurt me. You just want what's best for the baby."
"That's not true. I'm terrified that one day I'll get a call saying that you've been hurt or even killed in because someone didn't see you on your bike. It's bad enough that you're a secret agent, gone for days on end doing gods knows what and where." She pauses as Natsuki gently places her on their queen sized bed. "I just love you so much."
Her eyes began welling up with tears. Once again she begins crying and once again Natsuki wraps her up in her arms.
"I love you too. I'd go to the end of the Earth to hell and to the moon if you asked me to. Understand I will always come home to you and our child." She kisses her forehead.
Natsuki changes into shorts and a tank top before lying in bed. She puts her arm around Shizuru and not soon later she feels a hand on her bare stomach.
"Nat-su-ki," Shizuru says in her playful Kyoto voice. "Let's play."
