Chapter 2:Kick

Lucia woke up with a small smile on her face and stretched, the sun falling through the curtains. She rose from the bed and walked over to her closet. Her stomach was really getting a lot bigger. After all she was four months on the way. She got nervous every time she thought about it. She remembered the last weeks at school before she graduated. It had been so exhausting.

And Naruto had almost fainted when he heard someone throwing up in the bathroom, and then he had tried to pressure her into taking the rest of the day off. Lucia had only waved it away. She wore really baggy clothes back then, so she was sure they didn't notice her slightly bigger stomach.

Now she was finally done with school, and she had no reason to stop showing off her stomach. But something was going to change. She didn't know what, she simply knew something was going to change, and that it wouldn't be good. She looked to her right, and first then did she notice that Itachi wasn't in the room.

He had probably gone to eat something or to do some jobs in the stables. She slowly got out of bed and walked over to the closet, pulling out one of her majorly big sweaters that she had bought, so she knew they'd fit her when she was blowing. She then walked downstairs, looking for her boyfriend.

"Itachi?" she asked loudly, hoping he would hear her, so she didn't have to jump.

Every time she did jump, an ache hit her in the gut, like the baby wanted her to stay calm or something.

"I'm in the kitchen," the calm voice of the one she loved said, and Lucia smiled and halfway skipped to the kitchen.

Itachi was leaning against the counter, and he looked very serious. He always looked serious, but this was different.

It was like there was something weighing him down, and it couldn't be about Sasuke, as they had gotten along just fine after some explanation about something. Lucia still didn't quite get what happened between them, as something like a carcrash actually separated the two brothers so far from each other. The fact that Sasuke had hated his brother and blamed him for their family's death was something Lucia couldn't understand. Sure, he might've been unlucky and all, but not so badly.

"How are you today?" Itachi asked Lucia, bringing her back to earth.

"I'm fine. It keeps moving around though, as if it can't keep still," Lucia said, patting her stomach.

Itachi walked over to her and seemed rather tired as he put his arm around her waist.

"Maybe you should go to bed, so you won't feel as exhausted as you look," Itachi said calmly.

Lucia blinked. "I look exhausted?" she asked.

"Very," Itachi said.

"But it can't be worse than you," Lucia pointed out before she could stop herself.

"One of the horses has gotten colic," Itachi said tiredly.

Lucia frowned. "Which one?" she asked. She had gotten very attached to all of them, as she had so much time on her hands, walking around.

"Pearl," Itachi said calmly.

Lucia frowned. "Dammit," she whispered, and closed her eyelids sharply. "Ouch!" she suddenly exclaimed, clutching her stomach.

"What is it?" Itachi asked, immediately worried.

"He kicked me!" Lucia exclaimed, her voice very happy, feeling her stomach where the kick had hit.

Itachi looked slightly weird, Lucia noted, when she looked up at him. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach, knowing the baby would kick again. And it did. Though it was a happy pain, it hurt like hell. Itachi got a very weird look on his eyes when he felt it. He looked downright happy. Like every other father-to-be would look. But the kick had really hurt Lucia. She frowned.

"It is so not supposed to hurt like that!" she yelled frustrated.

Itachi looked at her. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice happy too.

Lucia sighed. "I don't know, but that bloody hurt. It's like it's a baby with monstrous powers," she said, and then patted her stomach.

"But so my monstrous baby," she added soothingly, though it still did hurt.

Itachi then forced her up the stairs. "You're going to bed," he said.

"Stop it, 'Tachi! I want to be awake!" Lucia moaned.

"Then lie there awake, just don't force yourself," Itachi said.

"But that means relaxing, and I haven't done anything but relaxing," Lucia whined.

And another kick hit her stomach. This wasn't so painful, but it was like it was directed towards Itachi. Something just told Lucia that it was the case.

"Ah, the baby doesn't wanna rest, and neither do I. I need to walk some and feel free to join me," Lucia said, smiling.

"I can't," Itachi said, "And I won't allow you to walk in the forest alone."

"She won't be alone! I'll go with her!" Mai yelled happily, completely hyper.

"Yeah, she needs it," Lucia said.

"Why?" Itachi asked.

"Because otherwise she'll be all hyper when we eat, and we don't want that, now do we, 'Tachi?" Lucia said, snickering.

Itachi nodded eventually, after having given it a thought. "Fine," he said calmly.

Lucia and Mai high-fived, and something hit the inner of Lucia's stomach, and she was sure it was a hand. Definitely not a foot. She placed her hand on that place and snickered again, and the two girls plus baby walked out of the house and into the very pretty forest that everyone loved.

Not that it had been a comfortable forest when a bear had wandered through it. But at the same time, that was the best day of Lucia's life. She grinned as they walked through the very nice forest, and Mai started babbling like she always did. They enjoyed a nice long trip through the very nice smelling forest.
