DISCLAIMER: I do not own strawberry panic!

INTRODUCTION: The hard parts of being pregnant.....


(15 weeks of pregnancy)

The Hanazonos and the Rokujous had a check up at the Japan Genetics Laboratory and Hospital to find out the sex of their babies. Chikaru and Shizuma were the first to be administered for the check up and the Rokujous waited in the lobby for their turn. They were taken to an echocardiography room, where ultrasounds are done, and they waited for the doctor to visit them.

Within a few minutes, a plump doctor came into the room and greeted the couple.

"Hello ladies, my name is Doctor Takeda and I am here to administer the ultrasound on…" The doctor's voice trailed off as she looked at her clip board.

"Is there a problem, ma'am?" Chikaru asked as she wrapped her hands around her plumping stomach.

The doctor cocked her head to one side and pulled up a chair beside Chikaru, who was sitting in a leather chair beside the ultrasound machine. Shizuma was standing beside Chikaru and she clasped Chikaru's hand.

"Did you two speak with any of the counselors here about going through with in vitro?" The doctor asked as she tapped the end of her pen against the metal parts of her clipboard.

Chikaru and Shizuma looked at each other.

"Uh, no Doctor Takeda, we only came here two times and no one told us we were to speak with any counselors." Shizuma's voice sounded strained as panic-filled thoughts rushed through her head like flash-rapids.

The doctor clicked her tongue and shook her head.

"Well, let me be the first to apologize to you two. You see, even though it is legal here for those of the same sex to wed, not everyone here agrees with that and you two seem to have felt that whiplash. Everyone who goes through in vitro is supposed to be counseled on what could happen with the process. I really am sorry that some of my colleagues have kept some of that information from you."

"Is there something terrible that you need to tell us?" Chikaru's voice was quivering.

"Well, I am sure you were taking the hormone supplements that were given to you, right?"

"Yes, ma'am." Chikaru answered.

"Tell me, how many kids were you two planning on having?" The doctor asked.

Chikaru seemed to be in deep thought but Shizuma burst out into laughter.

"Oh, only one and no more!" Shizuma said matter-of-factly.

Chikaru gave her wife a glare that was mixed between a frown and a question mark.

"Maybe two further down along the road." Chikaru added in.

"Well, just to tell you there is a great chance that you could be giving birth to twins or triplets." The doctor bit off her words quickly when she saw all the color drain out of Shizuma's face and all the color simply flourish in Chikaru's face instead.

"What are the chances of Chikaru giving birth to just one child?" Shizuma asked weakly.

"Well, let's just say that when I do the ultrasound, you should be prepared to see two bodies in Chikaru's womb."

The doctor applied some cool gel onto Chikaru's stomach and ran the nozzle of the ultrasound in circles through the gel. The black screen of the ultrasound machine came to life as bright neon sketchy lines came into view. Doctor Takeda kept her eyes on the screen as her hand mechanically kept making circles on Chikaru's greased up stomach.

Then, the shape of what looked like a head came into view but it was somewhat distorted. The doctor narrowed her eyes and moved the nozzle of the ultrasound machine around the other side of Chikaru's stomach. Right beside the pixilated head was another one.

Chikaru caught her breath and the doctor looked at her and smiled.

"Congratulations Mrs. Hanazono; you are going to be a mother of twin girls!" The doctor congratulated with a broad smile.

Chikaru squealed with happiness but Shizuma could feel her legs start to wobble underneath her.

Twins?! I don't even know if I can handle one and she is going to have two! Someone kill me now. Shizuma thought to herself as she squeezed Chikaru's hand.


Later that night, Shizuma and Chikaru were eating dinner at the Rokujou's house. Miyuki was craving spaghetti so Shizuma and Yaya were busy preparing the meal while their ballooning wives sat on the lush couch and watched TV and thought of baby names. Not only were the Hanazonos pregnant with twin girls but the Rokujous were also giving birth to twin girls as well.

Chikaru and Miyuki were going through baby names through a baby naming book and writing their favorite names down on paper. Shizuma and Yaya watched their wives enjoy themselves and they looked at each other as they drained the water out of the pot that was holding the noodles.

"I really didn't see this coming." Shizuma said weakly.

Yaya began stirring the spaghetti sauce in a large pot.

"Seriously, twins! And they all have to be girls and I wouldn't be surprised if they act just like their crazy mothers." Yaya groaned as she finished her sentence and began adding diced mushrooms into the sauce.

Shizuma began to cut pieces of beef and tossed it into the spaghetti sauce.

"Have you and Miyuki talked about baby names?" Shizuma asked.

Yaya snorted.

"No, Miyuki said that she and Chikaru had already agreed to go through the baby names together since you and I are incompetent when it comes to domestic things like that." Yaya said.

Shizuma rolled her eyes.

"Well, when they narrow their epic list of names down, we better be allowed to pick one of the names." Shizuma said as she began to cut pieces of sour dough bread and spread garlic and chives over it.

"I mean, they are our kids too so we should have a hand in naming them. I want to name one of my kids some bad ass name!" Yaya squealed as she kept stirring the pot.

Shizuma put the bread on a tray and stuck it in the oven to bake.

"I was thinking of something from my favorite anime like Chikane from Kannazuki no Miko." Shizuma grinned.

Yaya laughed and put a lid on top of the pot she was stirring. She went over to the refrigerator, took out a can of coke and a bottle of water, and walked back to Shizuma. She gave Shizuma the can of coke and opened the top of her water bottle and took a long drink.

"Should we go and participate with our wives?" Yaya asked as she looked over at the squealing women on the couch.

Shizuma sipped her coke and she kept her eyes on her wife.

"I don't think it would be a good idea." Shizuma cautioned.

"Why not?" Yaya asked.

"I think what they are doing is something that they will not like to include us on right now."

"They are naming our kids; we should be allowed to have a hand in it too."

"Just let them enjoy themselves and let's give them space for now, okay?" Shizuma suggested as she took another sip from her can.

Yaya hung her head but she nodded her head in agreement.


(6 month of pregnancy)

Chikaru was laying on her and Shizuma's queen size bed, watching TV and eating a bucket of ice cream. Her stomach was getting considerably larger and so was her appetite. Shizuma was very cautious around her pregnant wife and tried to stay away from her as much as possible since Chikaru seemed to always demand one of two things; some sort of odd food craving or she craved for Shizuma's touch.

"Shizuma, I need you baby!" Chikaru called out as she removed the spoon from her mouth and placed it on the ice cream.

Shizuma was downstairs, working on her gundam wing model again and doing her best to carefully replace the pieces that were knocked off by Chikaru's wet pregnancy test. When she heard Chikaru call her name, the hair on her neck stood on end and she reluctantly placed the glue on the table and walked upstairs to her distressed wife. As she walked into their bedroom, Chikaru had put the ice cream bucket on the nightstand beside their bed and a wide grin was on her face.

"You called, babe?" Shizuma asked tentatively.

"Come here, we need to talk." Chikaru said.

Shizuma winced but she did as she was told and sat on the bed. Chikaru came over and wrapped her arms around Shizuma's neck and nuzzled her face into Shizuma's hair.

"Why are you being so affectionate?" Shizuma asked as her voice quivered and her heart pumped loudly in her ears.

"Well, I think you should choose one of the names for our kids since I have already chosen one." Chikaru said as she materialized a small piece of paper from behind her.

"What name did you choose?" Shizuma asked as she gingerly took the piece of paper and scanned it.

"I like the name Yuki and I think it would suit the second twin." Chikaru said.

Shizuma scanned the piece of paper and her eyes brightened suddenly.

"How about the name Shizuna; Shizuna means quiet and Yuki means snow. It fits perfectly for our twins to be called 'quiet snow'. It sounds so delicate but beautiful at the same time." Shizuma was pleased with herself.

"That sounds great, darling! Shizuna sounds very romantic and Yuki sounds so beautiful."

"I am glad that you like it, dear." Shizuma smiled as she slowly got up.

Chikaru tugged on Shizuma's sleeve and peered into her eyes.

"Can you also get me some chocolate with toffee and almonds in them?" Chikaru smiled.

Shizuma sighed but nodded her head.

"Anything else?" Shizuma asked.

A mischievous look crossed Chikaru's face.

"Yes." Chikaru said

Chikaru pulled Shizuma on top of her and the silver-haired goddess found herself on top of a very naked, and very pregnant, Chikaru. Shizuma kissed her wife to get warmed up but Chikaru wanted to get straight to business whether Shizuma wanted it or not.
