Star-Rose Lover: Yay I'm doing another one-shot!
Crow: What about your other two stories? They need more work than some one-shot does!
Star-Rose Lover: Well thank you for the advice Sherlock, I'm just having some trouble coming up with some ideas for them though, especially Help Me. It hasn't been updated in a month...
Crow: Then think! You're on Spring Break, aren't you?
Star-Rose Lover: Well yeah but the thing is is thats its almost over and also I REALLY needed a break. Just saying...
Crow: *sigh* Whatever.
Star-Rose Lover: *cough cough* Starting to sound like Jack person *cough cough*
Crow: Hey I heard that! I don't sound like that ignorant, son of a-
Jack: *walks into computer studio* Hey! What did you say about me?
Crow: You heard me you piece of-
Star-Rose Lover: OK THAT'S ENOUGH! Jeez Crow, do you talk like this around your orphan kids? Jeez! Anyways, this is a one-shot by me and hopefully you read the summary to know what its about. Hope you like!
Blah, blah, blah "Make sure you watch yourself Akiza, it'll be coming soon-"
It? What the hell? Why did he just call their baby an it?
Blah, blah, blah and another load of crap. Jeez, Akiza knew this stuff already! She was a doctor for God's sake! And yet this elderly doctor that she knew was in her office telling her to prepare herself for her baby's arrival. Well, her and Yusei's baby of course.
"And that's about it, Mrs. Fudo," Dr. Green, an elderly man who desperately needed to retire as far as Akiza was concerned, said. Then he did some wierd eye brow raise thing that Akiza could never understand why people did it to start with. "Surely you and your husband have a plan, right? You know, your bags with what the baby needs and-"
"Yes, Dr. Green, yes Yusei and me have a plan," Akiza interupted. "No worries."
But Dr. Green seemed to not notice it even though it was clearly evident that she was getting aggervated with him. Stupid mood swings. "Very well, Mrs. Fudo. Have a good day, then." And with that he walked out of the room without another word, though he did give her a wink before he closed the door firmly behind him.
Akiza signed and rubbed her temples ever so slowly. This was getting on her nerves. Every elderly doctor in the entire building had came into her office in the past week, telling her what to do and so on, and to tell the truth she was getting quite tired of it.
Though she never had delivered a baby before, she did know what to do. What do they think? That she went to medical school only to learn about how to heal and help people and that was it?
Well she had news for them!
It wasn't like back in the old days when you just chose a subject in the medical field and that was it. In this year and age, you learn almost everything there is to learn about in the medical field. Period.
A knock sounded at the door to her office, jerking Akiza out of her thoughts. "Dr. Fudo?" A sweet voice called out. "Are you in there?"
"Yes, yes I am," Akiza answered back. "Is something wrong?"
"Well no mam, but your shift is over. You can go home now."
"Oh..." Akiza looked over at the clock that resided by her computer. It read 8:01, a minute past the time she was suppposed to get off. Yusei would be wondering where she was. "My bad. Thank you for reminding me um..."
"Nurse Jill, Dr. Fudo."
"Oh, sorry. Well thank you Nurse Jill."
"My pleasure, Dr. Fudo!" Nurse Jill chirped and Akiza could hear her walking away in her high heels
Akiza let out a sigh. She gathered her things and made her way out of the hospital, saying goodbye to some of her close patients and doctors or nurses on the way out.
As Akiza walked out, she felt something cold touch her nose. She shook her head in curiosity and looked up.
Snow was falling down haphazardly, as if it was pondering it. It just happened that she walked out on one that was falling. But the way it was falling was so intricate, yet delicate and careful at the same time.
Snow wasn't supposed to fall this early, was it? Even the forecast hadn't called for it. Sure it was December and all, but this was pretty early all the same considering it was New Domino. The city seemed to always wait till a few days before Christmas before letting loose all the snow, usually always guranteeing a white Chrstmas. Akiza smiled. The kids certainely enjoyed it. Maybe her and Yusei's child would as well...
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Akiza jumped and whirled around, though she knew that smooth voice from anywhere.
"Yusei! You scared me!"
Yusei chuckled and said, "Sorry, Akiza. But to tell the truth you were so transfixed on the snowflakes falling that I think anything would've freaked you out."
Akiza blushed. "I wasn't that transfixed...was I?"
Yusei smiled his warm smile that still made Akiza weak in the knees to this day, even though he was her husband. "Yeah you were a little too transfixed. It took me at least three times of calling your name before you finally noticed me."
Akiza blushed a deeper red. "Really?"
Yusei nodded.
A comfrontable silence ensued between them for a while as they watched the snow come down. After 10 minutes or so of watching it, Akiza started to shiver from the intense cold she was feeling.
Yusei seemed to notice it as he said, "You're getting cold. Let's head on home before you get too chilled."
Akiza nodded and put her hands together as she blew warm air through them. Man it was cold!
Yusei walked to her and put his arm around her as they started taking their long walk home. Yusei would've brought his D-Wheel as he always had to come pick her up, but considering her baby bump was quite large since she was about 8 months and 3 weeks pregant neither wanted to take that chance.
As if at the thought Yusei put his hand over her rather large belly and immediantly felt a kick. It was strong. Yusei couldn't hold back his smile of pride and joy. Akiza smiled as well. The baby did have quite a strong kick. Ha, she felt it every night and day as a matter of fact.
Yusei was convinced heavily that it was a boy, but Akiza disagreed with him. She felt that it was a girl for some reason. They could've seen what the gender was already as Jack and Carly had done with their newly-born boy, but they both felt it better as learning what gender the baby was when he or she was born.
As yet again they began their long tread home, both asked question about their day, such as what happened or how it went. Both answered with 'goods' and 'greats' and so on. (Akiza told Yusei about all the elderly people who came to visit her and tell her what to do, Yusei coming up with the suggestion that they probalby had a crush on her causing Akiza to smack him hard on his arm. Yusei just laughed.)
Finally they made it the their apartment in the Tops. (A/N: I would've just had them living in Yusei's little garage/apartment thing, but who would want to live there when they probalby have a ton of money? I mean, Akiza's a doctor and Yusei's a scientist so they must make a ton of money. Just saying. But of course thats anybody's choice. ^-^)
Akiza waddled (A/N: Hahaha I love watching pregant women waddle, it's like they're little ducks! ^.^) into the kitchen and dived into the refrigerator. She pulled out a package of strawberries and immediantly grabbed one and took a bite. Yusei chuckled as he walked in and watched her. "Strawberries again, Akiza?" he asked.
"Yep. For some reason I really have a craving for these," Akiza replied back. "It's one of those craving things that all pregant women have I guess."
Yusei smiled as he made a cup of coffee. Everything was silent again for a few seconds before Yusei ended up saying something that Crow had asked him earlier in the day.
"So...won't be long now before the baby is born, Akiza."
Akiza stopped with a strawberry halfway into her mouth and turned to looked at him. He was seemingly focused on his coffee, but Akiza knew better. He always asked this question but in a different way.
Since he had never really had parents in his life with the exception of his foster mom, Martha, he wasn't exactly sure how to act once he became a father. Sure he went to the library to read books on it and even asked guys he worked with who had kids on how to be a good father, but it wasn't the same. He could ask and study on it all he wanted to, but that didn't mean once he became one (which is really soon considering she had 1 week and 2 days till the baby was born) that he would be good at it. It scared him. A lot.
Akiza put the remaining strawberries back in the fridge and walked (or waddled) up to him and put her hand on top of his causing Yusei to look at her.
"Yes, Yusei, the baby is coming soon. Are you ready?" She asked, waiting tensly for his answer.
Yusei hesitated before finally saying, "Yes...and no."
Akiza opened her mouth to once again start into argument that he would be a good father, but this time Yusei stopped her. "But...I actually think I can do it."
Akiza stopped whatever she was going to say and smiled wide. "That's the Yusei I know," she replied giving him a light hug.
As she did the lights flickered, threatening to turn of, causing Yusei and Akiza to split apart.
Yusei watched them for a second before turning away to pull the curtain away covering the window in the kitchen. Akiza gasped in surprise.
Snow was falling everywhere, very much unlike earlier where it was just falling here and there.
It was covering the ground beneath it fairly quickly and the power lines were already weighed down with it, probalby what resulted in the lights flickering like they did.
Akiza suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and gasped, almost doubling over with pain.
"Akiza!" Yusei yelled, grabbing her shoulders.
Akiza breathed slowly. In and out, in and out...
And as soon as it had come it diappeared. Akiza stood back up, holding her adomen.
Yusei looked worried. "Are you ok, Akiza? What about the baby?" he asked quickly.
"Yeah...yeah everything is ok," Akiza gave him a encouraging smile. "Just a strong kick is all."
"Ok," Yusei replied, though he didn't look too convinced.
Akiza let out a fake yawn and put her hands on her hips as she said, "I'm tired is all, Yusei. Some rest would do me good." She wanted to assure him she was alright. That happened earlier today too in her office, but nobody had been around. It worried her that it just happened again, but she couldn't worry Yusei like that.
Yusei nodded and looked at the clock. It read 9:45, a little earlier then they were used too but it looked like Akiza would need it. He would need to keep an eye on her. She was lying, he could tell.
Yusei helped her up the stairs and after taking a shower together they went to bed.
But they both lay awake, something just not feeling right. They left the curtain open and the full moon's light shown in, making the snow look even more fasinating as its shadows danced in their room. But it wasn't because of that they couldn't sleep, something just felt...off. Like something bad was going to happen.
So when Yusei heard what sounded like water hitting the ground and Akiza letting out a yelp he knew what felt so off. The baby was coming.
Star-Rose Lover: Don't you all just love me? I would've put it all together, but where's the fun in that? So this is a one-shot made of two chapters, and that's about it.
Akiza: How can you be so cruel?
Star-Rose Lover: Hm, not cruel, but speculative. The more suspense a story has the more it makes people want to read it. And I really wanted to make this a good story, so yeah...
Yusei: *reading what happens next in my notebook* You make me do what! Akiza'a right! You are cruel!
Star-Rose Lover: Hey don't spoil it for everyone. *yawn* Jeez I'm tired. I'm just gonna take a nap now...
Luna: Well no wonder, you've been up since 6 this morning.
Star-Rose Lover: *yawns again* Yeah because I had this wonderful story in my head and I wanted to type it up before I forget about it. ^_^ Good night now...please review...
Leo: Shouldn't it be 'good morning' instead?
Luna: Shhh, be quite Leo...again, please review...
