CHAPTER 1: A PERFECT FAMILY
A day before Christmas ….
Tezuka Syuzumi was in their room, looking at herself in front of a human sized mirror. She was examining the dress that she was wearing. It was a mint green silk tube below the knee dress. She turned around and examined her back. 'Saa….it fits me well.'
She turned to face the mirror and looked at herself for the last time. Her gaze landed at her chest. "Mou…I really have to wear paddings. My chest is so flat."
A pair of arms embraced her. She looked at the mirror and saw that it was her husband. He gave butterfly kisses on her neck and shoulder blade. "You don't have to, Love…You're still captivating."
"Saa… Mitsu…. Stop it. I might be late for work." Syuzumi tried to get herself from her husband's embrace. She knew that his actions were an invitation to go to bed.
"But Love, its Holiday today," Tezuka Kunimitsu said, holding his wife tighter. "You can postpone work. Today is family day and this day happens to be our little girl's birthday." He turned her around and kissed her lips.
"Mmmmm… Mitsu…." She tried to break their moment but her attempts were frail. Part of her wants to stay with her family and forget about business and part of her wants to go and finish the deal off.
He was ushering her towards the bed, their lips united and his hands linger on her body. He laid her gently. He lay over her trailing hot kisses on her neck and chest. They were about to indulge a hot and passionate affair…
"Mommy!! Daddy!! Good Morning!!" Little Ryoma pushed the door open and bellowed at the top of her lungs. Kunimitsu instantly pulled himself off his wife and sat beside her. Syuzumi sat and smiled at her now 3 years old daughter. "Good Morning to you too, sweetie."
Ryoma run towards her mom and hugged her with her chubby arms. Syuzumi hugged her daughter in return. "Happy birthday, my little lady." She kissed her daughter on the forehead.
"Thank you Mommy."
Ryoma pulled herself out of her mother's clutch and jumped at her father. Kunimitsu caught her just in time. "Be careful, young lass. You might fall."
Ryoma ignored her father. She hugged her father tight. "Good Morning, Daddy."
"Good Morning to you to, my little princess. And Happy birthday." Kunimitsu kissed her forehead. "And here's my early birthday present."
He tickled Ryoma who was struggling hard to get away from her father's hands. "Hahaha… stop it!... Hahaha…. That tickles!.. Hahaha…. Mommy heeelllppp!.. Hahahahaha…"
Syuzumi smiled at herself. 'Saa…. I'm so lucky to have them. They are my blessings. I hope nothing would change…'
Kunimitsu stopped tickling his daughter and looked at his wife's trance-like state. He looked at his daughter who smirked at him then back to his wife. Ryoma climbed beside her mother, opposite from where her father was. Kunimitsu embraced his wife and they began attacking her with kisses. Syuzumi gasped at their sudden action.
"Stop it you two…" she chuckled.
"Mada mada dane, Mommy." Ryoma smirked. Both husband and daughter continued kissing her cheeks.
"Ne Daddy, Mommy won't go to work, right? Mommy would stay home with us until New Year, right?" Ryoma looked at her parents with widened and hopeful eyes.
"I'm sorry, sweetie… but Mommy must go to work." Syuzumi said, making Ryoma's smile falter and her eyes became sad.
"But I promise I would come home early." Syuzumi added in order to lift her daughter's mood.
"Promise??"…
"Promise."
"Yay!"
Someone knocked at the room's wide-opened door. Kunimitsu's smile wiped out his face, replaced by his stoic visage.
"Ano…Ohayo gozaimasu Tezuka-sama, Syuzumi-sama, Ryoma-sama."
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Jinko-san," Syuzumi greeted.
"Hnn…"
"Ohayo Ji-chan!" Ryoma greeted. "Is there anything wrong Ji-chan?"
"Ano… excuse me for intruding but you have a phone call Tezuka-sama. It's from Shishido-sama."
"Hnn.." Kunimitsu stood and went out to answer the call. Jinko left, closing the door behind her, leaving the mother and child inside the room.
"Mommy, can I play with your accessories?"
"Hai… but don't ruin them, okay?"
"Hai…." Ryoma went to her Mom's dresser and opened it. She saw some papers lying above her mother's accessories. Curiosity reigned over her. She took the papers and read it. It has her mother's name and then below it were words she didn't understand. Beside the words were two columns that have numbers. She scanned the other paper and it contains a narrative report. Ryoma glanced at her Mom who was preparing her documents in the bed.
She went towards her mom. "Mommy, what's this??"
Syuzumi looked at her daughter with her eyes closed. She took the papers from Ryoma and eyed it. She gasped, her eyes were wide open. 'Where did she find these?' She looked at her dresser. 'Oh, I forgot. I placed these in my dresser?'
Syuzumi sat on the bed and placed Ryoma in her lap. She smiled at her curious daughter. "Saa…. Looks like I can't hide it from you. I have been saving this later as my present for you and your father."
Ryoma was definitely curious and confused as well. "How would these be a gift?" She asked, pointing a finger to the papers.
"Well, these are the evidence that you will be a big sister."
"Y-you… You mean… You're pregnant?!" Ryoma's eyes widened.
"Hai…" The close eyed tensai watched her daughter's every reaction.
"I-I-I will become a big sister? Is it a girl or a boy?"
Syuzumi nodded at her first question. "Saa… I don't know if it's a girl or a boy."
"Yippeee!!" Ryoma cheered. She hugged her mother tight. "Yosh! I won't be playing alone, anymore! Can I listen to your belly, huh Mommy? Can I? Can I?"
"Hai…" Syuzumi answered, chuckling slightly at her daughter's excitedness. "But don't tell your father yet. I want to surprise him. Do you understand?"
Ryoma nodded. She rested her head on her mother's belly. She frowned. "I can't hear anything. Are you sure you're pregnant, Ne Mommy?? I thought that when you're pregnant, there's a fast "lub dub" that can be heard in your belly."
"Saa… that's true. You could hear "lub dub" sound on a pregnant woman but it is until the baby inside is two months old. But they are very faint sounds and you have to use a Doppler machine to hear it well."
"Sou ka…. How old is my little sibling Mommy? And can we buy that Doppler whatever-it-is so that I could hear the sound?"
"The baby is about two weeks old and yes, Sweetie, we could buy one. I'll ask Seiichinee-san where to buy it."
"Yosh!"
"What are you two talking about?" Kunimitsu asked as he entered the room. The two smirked at each other and answered his question.
"SECRET!!"
