I didnt knew when Tyson's birthday was so i just made this one up. Also have added some sad part where Hilary lost her baby brother (which is completely unrelated to the anime) So enjoy!
The jelly felt cold on her abdomen, the soothing noise of the ultrasound machine was calming her nerves slightly but she still felt her heart beating so loud it dulled her hearing. She tried to control her breathing but was all too aware of her heaving chest.
"What do you see?" She asked the doctor in what she hoped was a breezy, casual voice.
"Well, your suspicions were correct, there is a little someone in there" he smiled "you're about three weeks along, but everything looks great."
Mariah gasped next to her, Hilary turned to see her beaming wider. "Congratulations honey!" She said and hugged her. "Does Tyson know you're here?"
"No he's out on a run today, it's his birthday - not that he probably even remembers - so I wanted to surprise him."
"I'll print you out a picture" smiled the Doctor "and I'll want to see you again in four weeks' time... Congratulations."
He went to go and set up the printer. Hilary and Mariah sat in silence staring at the screen. As the little blue blob danced against the black background, Hilary suddenly felt like she had been hit by a train...
Her eyes stung as she remembered the only other time she had been sat in front of a sonogram. Her precious Vanessa, her sweet baby girl, their first child. It seemed a thousand lifetimes ago but she remembered it as clear as day, the sonographer confirming that everything was ok, the feeling of happiness swelling inside her as the weeks of nausea and exhaustion had been worth it.
She remembered carrying her inside her, the feeling when she kicked and moved. She remembered endless days spent talking to the bump, promising her every happiness in the world. It all seemed to take so long then; those nine months waiting to meet her had felt like nine years. "It wasn't enough time" she thought with a pang, wishing she had treasured those days more. The days when she was safe inside her.
She remembered the day she was born, the feeling of pushing her out of her body. The agony but excitement as she made her way into the world. The warm feeling of her skin against hers...That first cry...The night they brought her home, holding her as though she was made from glass. Even in the bassinet right next to the bed she was too far away from her.
Her sweet girl, she promised her so much. She wanted to travel the world with her, to teach her everything, to never ever let her feel pain. She was crying now, the tears spilling uncontrollably down her cheeks, her shoulders heaving with sobs.
"Hey..." Mariah next to her, Mariah who had lost so much to this world, Mariah whose eyes were full of empathetic pain for her friend "come here."
No more words were said as Mariah held her tight; she let Hilary cry until she was empty. Her head drifted to Tyson, unaware and out with Kenny and Max. She couldn't wait to tell him, to see his face, to celebrate with him. He has wanted a baby with her for so long, and it was finally happening.
"Come on" Mariah said quietly, holding the sonogram picture from Doctor Carson "I'll get Ray to drive you home."
...
"Vanessa, where's your Dad?" Hilary said as soon as she entered the front door.
"He's still out" said the preschooler.
"Ok good, we're gonna cook him a surprise dinner ok? You know it's his birthday right?"
Vanessa snorted "Yes Mom. I could never forget that. "
"Well let's go bake a cake."
She got to work in the kitchen, finding an unused box and wrapping it in any paper she could find. She sniggered to herself; it looked like Daichi had made it. She tied her dressing gown ribbon around it, cut up an old lace top and adorned the outside. She placed it in the middle of the table and set to work cooking.
Spaghetti bolognaise was Tyson's favourite, though their pantry was well stocked she still had to make a few adjustments. "Hope he still likes lentils" she thought, bulking out the chopped mushrooms she had used to replace ground beef. When he was out just for the day, he was never home past seven (they had put this in place so that people knew when to go looking for each other) and so at 6:45 she called Vanessa down from her room.
"Sweety! Come and set the table! And get the cake from the refrigerator." She called merrily.
"What's in the box?" Vanessa looked at her with her eyes narrowed and a smile on his face "and where did you go today?"
"All will be revealed" she said, smiling widely.
"Oh come on...What is it?"
"Ok" she said, excitedly "what if I told you...You're gonna have a baby brother?''
"For real!?" Her smile was wide.
"For real..." She said as he hugged her.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! And Dad doesn't know? He's gonna be so excited!" She jumped up and down in joy.
She was still smiling as her daughter sat down tucking into the garlic bread (well, it was some kind of flavour anyway. Made from whatever Hilary could find in the cupboard.)
"Hey" she slapped her hand away from grabbing more "wait till Dad gets here! And don't give the game away."
... she groaned.
"Honey...I'm home" came her favourite southern drawl, walking through the door at bang on 6:55. "Damn, something smells GOOD!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Vanessa and Hilary cried in unison...Showering him with makeshift confetti.
"What?!" He chuckled "it's my birthday?" He surveyed the table...the plates and glasses all laid out, candles in the middle of the table, what looked like one of Hilary's made chocolate cakes and the box that contained his gift. Gratefully, she exceled at cooking over the years.
"January 25th right? Well that's today."
"Well I never..." he began, walking towards the table "what's in the box?"
"It's your present...Open it."
He untied the ribbon, taking a painstakingly long time. He stopped as he opened it, he looked from the box, to Hilary in disbelief, his hands were shaking as he lifted out the picture.
"Is this...Is this our baby?" His eyes were wide, his words sticking in his throat as he looked at her "honey?"
She nodded "I'm pregnant."
His eyes were welling up, he let out a quiet chuckle and made his way over to her, holding her belly with both hands so gently as if she was suddenly made of glass. He picked her up and spun her round, his face buried in her shoulder. "I can't believe it, we're gonna have a baby!" He wiped away happy tears and turned to Vanessa "did you know about this?" Vanessa nodded.
"Congratulations guys" he smiled, as Tyson pulled her into their hug too.
"Dad! Can't breathe" Vanessa gasped, they all laughed.
"Sit down honey" Tyson quickly grabbed Hilary a chair "I'll sort dinner."
"Oh don't be ridiculous" she chuckled and went to serve dinner.
"Kind of makes my gift seem bad in comparison..." he reached into his pocket and pulled out an expensive bottle of shampoo and put it on the table.
Hilary giggled "no way, baby. But that better not be the only bottle."
"Daichi made the mistake of opening the box in front of everybody, I was lucky to get that one. It was like a zoo!" His face distorted in mock horror.
She surveyed the scene in front of her, Tyson messing around with Vanessa, him looking at the sonogram picture ("I just can't figure out where the baby is!") and eating the garlic bread again. Her mind wondered back again to the night she lost her younger brother, the night she made a decision. That even though all she wanted to do was curl up on the ground and disappear, she would carry on. She knew he was with her every step of the way, he was her strength every time she got knocked back, Tyson was what guided her to this new life. The biggest part of her heart would always belong to him. But, she knew as she looked at her family, there was still plenty of room left.
So i just happened to stumble upon a page where some Kaihil shipper has bragged a lot about their "hints''. Very well, now i am gonna rerun the entire Beyblade V-Force and G Revolution Series and then we'll see which pairing has more hints. ITS ON!
