Chapter 2: News
Having the day off Soul and Black Star went to a basketball game. Tsubaki and Maka we're at Maka's home just trying to relax. They put baby Koko into her crib for her afternoon nap. Tsubaki and Maka sat down for a cup of tea to sooth Tsubaki's stomach.
"I hope the tea helps." Maka told Tsubaki. "It always soothes by stomach."
"I hope so too." Tsubaki sighed. "For the last week I wake up feeling sick. It's not so bad it usually ends by the afternoon."
Maka ponder this while they continued to talk.
Tsubaki let out a low groan as she placed her hand over her stomach. "It looks like the tea didn't help."
"That's strange it always works for me. Well, except when I was pregnant..."
"Is something wrong, Maka?"
"Uh, Tsubaki, I don't know how to say it but is it possible you're pregnant."
Tsubaki stared back to the blind meister for a moment in complete silence. After thinking things through for a moment and realizing she was late, "Maybe."
"We need to get a test for you." Maka tod her.
Tsubaki was filled with both joy at the possibility and the fear of that very possibility and telling Black Star.
"Maka, can we not tell Black Star until we're sure?"
"It's fine with me. I'll keep it a secret but you should really go see a doctor to make sure."
Tsubaki nodded and soon enough Black Star and Soul entered the home. Tsubaki made an appointment to go to the doctors. She had Black Star accompany her telling him she was just getting checked for her stomach saying it was probably just the flu. She was nervous and it felt like her stomach was tied up in knots. She squeezed his hand nervously.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Black Star asked her while they waited in the waiting room.
"Yes, I'm just not very fond of hospitals." She lied to him.
"I know what you mean they remind me of Stein and his boring lectures."
She smiled finding reassurance in his presence. Soon the nurse called Tsubaki to the patience waiting room to again wait for the doctor.
Tsubaki took a few deep breaths trying to calm herself dow. But no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get the couldn't get the conversation with Black Star out of her head. She really did want to have a baby with Black Star but she also wanted Black Star to want it, to be ready to have a baby with her.
The doctor came and talk to Tsubaki and she took the test. It only took about ten minutes to get the results from the lab.
The doctor said, "You're pregnant."
Tsubaki started to cry and she wasn't sure if it was out of joy or all the nervous energy she had. The doctor gave her a few pamphlets and gave her a prescription for prenatal vitamins.
She found Black Star waiting for him and after getting her prescription filled in a nearby pharmacy they went home. She told Black Star that they were just vitamins and not what they really were. She was looking for the right time to tell him but every second she kept the secret the sense of guilt rose.
She got dinner ready that night still feeling guilty. Black Star did the dishes that night giving her some time to clear her mind.
"Done!" Black star said sitting down next to Tsubaki. "You looks tired maybe you should get to bed early tonight."
"Black Star..." Tsubaki started her voice weak. "I need to talk to you."
"Sure, what about?"
"I didn't go to the doctor today so they could check my stomach. I went so they could run a pregnancy test." Tsubaki couldn't met his eyes so as she twiddled her fingers she looked down. "They told me that I'm pregnant."
She looked up to see Black Star who stared at her with wide eyes. "..."
"Black Star?"
"..." And he fainted.
"Black Star!"
She got him to bed and waited for him to come to.
"Huh?" He said when he finally did come to.
"Black Star! Are you all right? Im so sorry! I didn't mean to-"
"No, don't blame yourself." He said wiping the tears from her eyes. "I love you Tsubaki and I'm going to love this baby. I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a father but I know if the baby is anything like you I'm going to love it."
Tsubaki smiled through her tears and she hugged Black Star. Black Star hugged her back and thought he did like the idea of Tsubaki having his baby he felt something else he wasn't used to feeling, fear.
