Aizawa-sensei just done an operation. And this is his last operation for the day. He decided to grab something before he finished up the report since he had missed his lunch. The last meal he takes was the breakfast prepared by his wife.
Shiraishi-sensei; his wife was on leave that day since she had suffered morning sickness quite bad lately. Shiraishi-sensei had been pregnant. Yeah, their child. Aizawa-sensei smiles. He still can't believe that they were married couple and to be expect becomes parent soon.
Shiraishi-sensei was in her 6 months now. And because of that Aizawa-sensei had force her to take leave for days. At first, Shiraishi-sensei who always thinking about her patients disagree with that but since she herself can't afford to stands properly at ER, makes her take leaves.
Tachibana-sensei who was aware about that immediately approved the leave, as everybody knowing how workaholic Shiraishi-sensei is. Furthermore, she can change her mind anytime.
Aizawa-sensei smiles; he remembered clearly how Shiraishi-sensei glares to her ex-housemates; Hiyama-sensei just because Hiyama-sensei had asked Tachibana-sensei to approve it immediately. Hiyama-sensei had stayed at Shiraishi-sensei house., since Shiraishi-sensei had moved into Aizawa-sensei house, that he bought after he returned from Toronto.
Aizawa-sensei reached the office, want to take his things before went to the café. But something had disturbed him when he stops by at the office. The three figure who was in deep conversation looks so startled, noticing his arriving. Fujikawa-sensei had avoids his eyes while Haitani-sensei and Natori-sensei looks at each other.
"Doshite?" asked Aizawa in curious with his usual tone. The two junior looks at Fujikawa-sensei, asking him to answer it. Fujikawa-sensei cursed slowly while widened his eyes as he was unready to face Aizawa-sensei that time. But he definitely didn't want Aizawa-sensei asking him twice. At that time, Haitani-sensei and Natori-sensei stands simultaneously and leave the room, as they sense the tense in that room, leaving Fujikawa-sensei to take care the rest.
"You two…" Fujikawa-sensei flustered. He tries to be calm. "How… How the operation?" asked Fujikawa-sensei, to Aizawa-sensei.
"Barely success... But he is stable now…" answered Aizawa-sensei, still looking at Fujikawa-sensei while folding his hand firmly. Fujikawa-sensei sighs heavily.
"I'm not the person that should tell you about this..."
"About what?" asked Aizawa-sensei fast. He had cool down since he didn't glares at Fujikawa-sensei anymore. He pulls out his chair and sits while his hand busy in taking his things.
Fujikawa-sensei looked at Aizawa-sensei from his place, hesitates in telling the truth, but he knows he feel sorry to Aizawa-sensei. He just can't lie to him not because he afraid of Aizawa-sensei but he know how the feel of the person could have after heard the news.
"Looks, I'm totally not agreeing with this but she had warned me to not tell you until you finished your shift..."
Aizawa-sensei sensed something from it. A name had pop in his mind. "Megumi?"
Aizawa-sensei raised his head, noticing Fujikawa-sensei rubbing his hand. Fujikawa-sensei startled, as he had revealed the most important part.
Looking at the silent-no answer from Fujikawa-sensei, Aizawa-sensei had stood closer to Fujikawa-sensei, urge him to tell him. "Tell me now..."
Fujikawa-sensei takes a gulp before stands up. Again, he sighs while tap Aizawa-sensei shoulder.
"Come with me..." asked Fujikawa-sensei. Aizawa-sensei doesn't need to be told twice. He follows Fujikawa-sensei without question. He even could hear his own heart beat.
Either Aizawa-sensei or Fujikawa-sensei, both of them were silent. Aizawa-sensei feels uneasy as few nurses had look at them with sympathy looks. Meanwhile Fujikawa-sensei who steps ahead from Aizawa-sensei feel nervous, worried how Aizawa would handle the matter later. But knowing how Aizawa-sensei face the tense from ER, he believe Aizawa-sensei can accept the news calmly.
Aizawa-sensei realized that they had entered a ward, and he really worried now. He touched Fujikawa-sensei's shoulder, can't be patient as he want to know the truth badly.
"This is not funny, Fujikawa..." Aizawa can't finish his word. Something had comes into his mind that time but he try to deny it. Fujikawa-sensei had stop in front of a ward. Aizawa-sensei takes a look at the nameplate and he is not wrong. He looks again at Fujikawa-sensei in shocked.
"What… What happened?" asked Aizawa-sensei in pale.
"I know it's hard but she need you now..." said Fujikawa-sensei hold Aizawa-sensei shoulder firmly before signalling him to enter the room. Aizawa-sensei dumbfounded, didn't know how to react with the sudden news. He also could notice Fujikawa-sensei teary eye. For a happy-go-lucky person like Fujikawa-sensei to have the teary eyes for him, is unpredictable.
Fujikawa-sensei lets Aizawa-sensei steps into the ward alone before a figure join him at the back.
"I thought..." Saejima-san shocked looking at Aizawa-sensei presence that entered the room.
"I feel sorry to him… He should be the one that know about this at the first place..." told Fujikawa-sensei. Saejima-san nods; understand the feeling and she can't mad at Fujikawa-sensei because she also disagreed with Shiraishi-sensei decision. Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder.
Fujikawa-sensei looks at his wife, want to ease her feeling. "She is strong... and so as Aizawa…"
Saejima-san nods, agree with that.
