Izuru Kira was worried again. Not that he didn't worry on an almost daily basis about his two children and Gin; he did. But now he was worried about a very specific thing.
Rai and Ayumu were six years old now, and attending the Academy, so they weren't around much during the weekdays. Somehow, he'd managed to keep his recently-surfaced issues from Gin, but that didn't make him feel any better. He was throwing up after almost every meal, as well as in between and early every morning.
It had him wondering if he was pregnant again.
It was possible, wasn't it?
He hunched over the toilet and heaved again.
He became sure of it one day. He, Gin, and the twins were sitting at the table having dinner when he felt it. At first he ignored it, but when it happened a second time, his panic switch was hit for no reason. He completely blanked out after dropping his utensils and starting to hyperventilate.
When he came back to his senses, he was hysterically sobbing into Gin's chest, and Gin was stroking his hair, asking what was wrong. Izuru calmed himself gradually, still clinging to his lover.
"Mama?" Ayumu said with tears in her eyes. "Are you okay?" Rai was clinging to Gin.
"Are you alright, Izuru?" Gin asked, peering curiously at him. Then the feeling again – the feeling of a tiny kick.
"Um, Gin, I think… I think I'm pregnant again."
