A/N: I'm back and I figured I'd continue with this story just for the heck of it. MAJOR CHEESE ON THE WAY, you have been warned.
Disclaimer: nope, never have, never will.
I lead Ranma into the front doors of the mall, still holding his hand. He gripped it hard as if there were a mob of angry people waiting in there for him. I'm guessing he was nervous about shopping for 'maternity' clothes. I tried hard not to laugh at that thought.
I squeezed his hand back. "Ranma why are you so nervous? We're just buying you new clothes. It's not like people are going to know you're pregnant. You just look a little fat," I laughed.
He glared down at me but relaxed a little, letting out a huge breath. I looked at his shirt and noticed that the buttons were straining to stay together and were showing some skin. I laughed even more and he looked to see what I was laughing at and then glared even more at me and walked faster.
We went into a J.C Penny's and into the Men's section. I started looking around and he just followed me. I rolled my eyes. "Ranma you can look around too you know." He fidgeted and wandered maybe three feet away from me still following me. Sigh. I guess I'm doing all the work today.
I picked out a few button-up shirts, a few t-shirts, and some pants for him. I pulled him over to the dressing rooms to try them on. "Come on you have to try them on to make sure they fit right," I told him as he tried to pull away from me. I snuck into the dressing room with him to make sure he tried all of them on.
He tried on a pair of green pants with a green button-up shirt (That one outfit he has in the show.) I buttoned up the shirt for him and then pulled on the waistband of the pants a little. "Good. I can put elastic in the pants so they last longer." He nodded and it went like that for a while.
Once we bought the outfits, he changed into the green one and we walked out of the mall and into town where Uuchan's was.
"Welcome to Uuchan's Ononomiyaki restaurant, how may I help you?" Ukyo said when she heard the bell sound as we walked in through the door. She was cleaning the counter-top grill and there were no other customers in the shop.
"Hey Ukyo! Wow this place looks busy today!" Ranma commented sarcastically. She slapped him with her towel.
"Oh shut up Ranma. Business has been a little slow lately. Anyway, it's only 11 o' clock. We usually pick up at around noon."
Ranma and I sat down at the counter and watched her run around cleaning. I saw her eye his stomach a few times but she didn't say anything. See, we haven't told any of his other fiancées yet. The only people that really know are Dr. Tofu, us, and our family. The rest of the family has moved to a house not too far away from us to give us privacy I guess. Since we're now carrying on the Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts, they decided to leave it to us now.
"Well I guess we'll be your first customers for today then," Ranma said, putting a pile of yen on the counter.
Ukyo sighed in relief. "Thank God, I've been running low. I'm almost running out of business," She told us as she starting cooking up a fresh batch of Okonomiyaki. We sat there and chatted for a while, ate, and then left once other customers started filing in.
As we were walking back it started to rain so we raced each other back, laughing the whole time. Once we got home we were both out of breath from running and laughing. I sat down at the Kotatsu and Ranma lied down next to me.
"So what now?" I asked, laying down beside him.
He looked over at me. "I'm going to take a long nap. I'm so tired."
I rolled my eyes. "It's only 11:30 Ranma, how can you be tired?" I asked him.
He shrugged. "I don't know, just am." And with that he got up and went upstairs to his room.
I went into the kitchen to clean up from breakfast this morning. Once I was done I sat in the hallway in front of the Shoji doors for the sitting room and watched the rain fall. It was nice with a cool breeze. I thought about Ranma. What's going to happen when he has the baby? Are we going to tell the kid that Ranma technically gave birth to it or will we tell it that I did? What is it going to look like? I hope it looks like Ranma, with black hair and bright blue eyes. Sigh. Only time will tell.
It's been a few weeks since we went shopping. Ranma is now four months and one week pregnant and the baby has grown even bigger now. He complains, eats, and sleeps even more now. And I am still the one that has to take care of him.
I was watching an American TV show called "Say Yes To The Dress" Where women who are about to get married get help find the perfect wedding dress from professionals. It was pretty interesting. My favorite part is when they find the perfect dress and start crying. It's kind of funny.
Ranma trudged down the stairs and sat down next to me. He was wearing his white muscle shirt and his normal blue pants. Both being too small so that they only covered a little bit of the top and bottom of his stomach, making most of it show. He leaned against the table and put his arm over my shoulder. I leaned in to him.
We watched TV silently for a while until I felt him stiffen. I turned my head to look at him. His eyes got wider and he had his hand on his belly.
"What's wrong Ranma? Are you okay?" I asked concerned.
He looked down at his rounded midsection. "I think I just felt it move," he responded, bewildered.
"Aww! Really? Let me feel!" I squealed as I put my hand on his smooth belly. After a few moments I felt something thump against my hand. Awww!
I rested my head on Ranma's chest and rubbed his belly. "What do you think it's going to be? A boy or a girl?" I asked him.
He watched my hand on his abdomen. "It's definitely a boy," he said grinning.
I looked up at him. "How can you be so sure?" I raised my eyebrows.
"No child of mine is going to be some girl. He's going to be a strong martial artist," he said patting it.
I snorted. "Yeah Okay, well I think it's a girl."
"You keep thinking that, but it's a boy."
"Girl."
"Boy."
I rolled my eyes. "You're such a child. Imagine, a child having a child. This will be disastrous."
He stuck his tongue out at me but still grinned. I leaned over and kissed his cheek, catching him by surprise, then got up and walked out with him still staring at me.
A/N: so how was it? What do you think it is? A boy or a girl? What do you want it to be? Please Review!
