Okay, so this is my first fanfic ever. And Yarningchick said I could make a sequel to Love's Promise, so here it is. Disclaimer: I don't own Cat Returns, or Yarningchick's original idea.

Haru rolled over and kissed her husband. She got out of bed and changed. Today she picked a light green silk dress. It was a bit stretched, as she had gotten a bit bigger in the past few months.

Baron rolled over, missing her warmth and opened his eyes. "Love, isn't it a little early?" He looked at the clock. "It's only 7:30."

"I want to be able to stay up tonight without getting too tired," Haru explained. There was going to be a baby shower for Haru that night.

"Okay love. Just be careful, you don't want to hurt the baby," Baron reminded her. Haru walked over and kissed him.

"I will," she reassured him. She kissed him once more before leaving.

"Am I lucky or what?" Baron asked himself. It had been six months since the Royal Wedding. Haru was due in about three. Baron remembered when he told the king that Haru was pregnant.

Baron practically skipped into the throne room to deliver the news. "Your Majesty, I have some news concerning Haru."

"Yes?" the king asked. He looked bored, but really, he was filled with excitement.

"Haru is pregnant." Baron announced. Nobody was paying attention before that, but as soon as he said the word "is", everybody's attention was on him.

There was silence before a mob of half-cats surrounded him, all to congratulate him. The king made his through the mob.

"Congratulations my boy!" he said. "We will have to get a nursery ready." The king was already imagining being besieged by grand kittens. Haru's mother asked Baron where Haru was.

"She's in our quarters," he replied, smiling, no, beaming. Naoko nodded and rushed off to find her daughter.

"Haru!!" she called. Haru stuck her head out from behind the curtain to her room, only to be shoved back in. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"What?" Haru asked, faking confusion.

"That you're pregnant! How many months?" Naoko asked a little more softly.

"Ummm…"

"Haru, tell me."

"Two," Haru nearly whispered. But her mother still heard. Naoko nearly fell. It had only been two months since the wedding.

"I knew he wasn't shy, but I never thought….," she said.

"He was a perfect gentleman," Haru said, defending her husband. "And we are married."

"I know…But I'm so happy!!" Naoko yelled again. Baron came in to see them both discussing names.

He kissed Haru and turned to Naoko. "I think it's a bit early to be thinking about names."

"Go talk to Dominic then, he's already planning the entire nursery!" Naoko countered

That had been 4 months ago. Now Haru was getting pretty big. She had to keep on buying bigger clothes. But Baron didn't mind, because whenever Haru went shopping, or rather, most of the time, it would be just him and Haru. The thought made him purr.

Baron sighed and got out of bed. When the first signs of Haru's pregnancy had appeared, Baron had been a little confused. He didn't know why his wife was vomiting every morning. A few days after it started, Baron decided that was enough. He used his magic to scan Haru's body. At first he was shocked. Haru thought it was something bad and was bombarding him with questions. Then he just jumped up yelling and swinging Haru around. When he told Haru, she was just as excited as him. They both agreed that Baron should go tell the king immediately.

Baron smiled as he changed. How could he be this lucky?
