A/N: Thank you for all the lovely reviews for last chapter. I'm grateful. But, Kyoru-Itsumo, what don't you understand? Also, just to remind everyone, these chapters don't go in linear order, so this chapter actually takes place several years after the last.
Theme #2: News, Letter
Chapter Two
"So, how are you going to tell him?" Uo asked, trying her best to make her two-year-old son eat his leeks with a fork.
"I don't know…" Tohru said, pacing around the kitchen, "How did you tell Kyo?"
"Well," Uo said, putting down the fork and looking at Tohru, "I just, you know, told him. Besides, I doubt the Prince's reaction will be anything like Kyo's."
"Why, what did Kyo do when you told him?"
Uo snickered and said, "He jumped out the window."
"Ehh!?" Tohru exclaimed, looking surprised considering Kyo and Uo lived on the fourth floor of an apartment building.
"Don't worry, the man has reflexes like a cat," Uo said, waving her hand and began making circles with the fork that were supposed to symbolize an airplane.
"Heh, yeah, he does…" Tohru said, thinking about Kyo's time being the cursed cat of the Zodiac. 'I guess he's retained some of his cat-like traits even after the curse has been lifted,' she thought.
"Look, sweetie," Uo said, abandoning her post and putting her hands on Tohru's shoulders, "When he gets home tonight, wait for the right moment and just blurt it out. Okay?"
"Okay," Tohru said, though her nerves still didn't calm down.
When Yuki came home that day, the first thing he realized was that something was on Tohru's mind, because she was staring at the wallpaper on their kitchen wall and about to cut her finger off.
"Tohru!" Yuki said, "Be careful!"
"Huh?" Tohru said, snapped out of her trance. She looked down at the cutting board and realized what she about to do. "Oh!" She then redirected the knife from her finger to the carrot she was supposed to be chopping.
"Are you okay?" He asked, taking his wife's face in his hands.
Tohru smiled and said, "Yes, of course!"
He smiled back and said, "Okay, good," and kissed her forehead. "Do you need any help?"
"Uhh…yeah, could you get the potatoes out of the fridge and some bowls out of the cupboard?" Tohru said, adding the carrots to the stew on the stove. Just as she heard the sound of Yuki opening the cupboard door, Tohru decided to drop the bomb.
"Yuki?"
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant."
TBC…
Okay, so that was so cliché and predictable, but whatever.
Please review. Reviews make me happy.
