Gone Fishing

Amu unconsciously dug her nails into the wood beside her, jaw clenched tightly as she stared ahead of her.

Ikuto sighed from behind her, "Hun, you're even wearing a lifejacket, you'll be fine" he reassured, watching his wife sit there like a statue. "Sure I'll be fine!" Amu snapped sarcastically, not relaxing one bit.

Ikuto chuckled softly, pulling out his fishing rod as the small wooden boat continued to rock with the waves. "How can you fish at a time like this!?" Amu asked in disbelief as she slowly turned her head to look at her husband.

"That's the reason we came here, Amu" Ikuto replied, waiting for a fish to come.

Amu scoffed as she turned fully around. Every move she made was slow, as if she didn't want to tip the boat over.

"Hun, you used to love coming fishing with me, remember?" Ikuto pointed out, stealing a glance at the pink-haired girl.

Amu scoffed again, "Yeah, back when I wasn't preg- Ah, I mean…pre-married…?" she said quickly, earning a questioning glance from Ikuto. "Alrighty then" he replied, staring back at the water.

Amu gave a silent sigh of relief as she also looked out at the water. She had just found out that she was pregnant, and was still thinking of a way to tell Ikuto.

She yawned widely as she watched Ikuto catch a fish. It was true that before she did enjoy fishing. But, now she knew she had to be careful, for she had two lives to keep safe now. So she didn't exactly want to fall into the ice-cold water after failing to catch a fish.

Amu was honestly surprised that Ikuto didn't even suspect her to be pregnant, seeing as how she'd been having weird cravings lately and morning sickness. She was about two months pregnant, meaning she had a small bulge under her shirt, but it still wasn't entirely noticeable.

"Do you want to try?" Ikuto offered, holding the fishing rod out to her.

"Uhh…"

No! Say 'no'!

"I don't know how" Amu replied quickly.

Sure she had gone fishing with Ikuto before, but she had never actually fished, she always preferred watching.

"How can you be a Tsukiyomi and not know how to fish?" Ikuto chuckled, sitting Amu in his lap as he showed her where to position her hands on the fishing rod.

"…then if you feel tugging on the line, pull the rod closer to you, slightly lifting it up, and spin this" Ikuto instructed.

Amu clutched the rod tightly, waiting anxiously for a fish to come.

As they waited, Ikuto rested his chin on her shoulder, wrapping his arms around her stomach, still not noticing the bump. After what seemed like ages, Amu felt something pull on the other end of the fishing rod, making her scream as she quickly let go of the rod, watching it disappear into the water.

The couple remained still and silent as they stared at the spot where the fishing pole had disappeared, only blinking occasionally.

After a moment of silence, Ikuto spoke. "…Well, I guess we're done fishing" he commented with a chuckle. Amu tried to smile at her stupidity, but failed miserably. "Sorry…" she mumbled quietly.

Ikuto just kissed her cheek before sliding her out of his lap so he could grab the ores. Amu sat back down to where she was before, relieved that they were going back home.

Suddenly, a large fish swam passed her, half of its' body sticking out of the water. Who ever would have guessed Amu was scared of fish? She screamed again before grabbing the ores, getting away from the fish as fast as possible.

"Amu! Slow down!" Ikuto called over the wind and Amu's mutters to herself. Amu quickly let go of the ores once realizing she could've been taking them the wrong way.

She slowly turned around to look at Ikuto once noticing something. She had let go of the ores. Let go. Meaning, they were now drifting away from the boat, out of their reach.

Ikuto just raised an eyebrow at her, "You need to get out more" he commented plainly.

"Crap!" Amu repeated, rocking back and forth, "We can't die here!".

"Amu, calm down, we won't die" Ikuto chuckled.

"I'm hyperventilating! Claustrophobic!"

"At least we have fish to eat…"

"This is your fault, Ikuto!"

"How's it my fault? You're the one that dropped the ores" Ikuto pointed out.

"Doesn't matter! You shouldn't have dragged me onto this boat!" Amu retorted.

"You said you wanted to come"

"Never mind! No, no… we can't be here any more than seven months or they'll be another person on this boat!" Amu grumbled, looking around quickly for an escape route.

Realizing she had just told Ikuto the news, she slowly peered over at him, not saying anything more.

He was just putting the fishing gear away, glancing at her, clearly confused. He looked back down at the bucket of fish, then seemed to just program what Amu had said, since his head snapped up, staring at her, "What!?".

Amu smiled sheepishly as she looked away from him, "N-nothing" she replied innocently. Ikuto gripped Amu's arms tightly, looking her straight in the eye, "Amu, you're pregnant?".

Seeing as how he'd find out eventually, Amu nodded meekly.

"No way!" Ikuto exclaimed, obviously overjoyed. "How far along?" he asked eagerly. "Eh… two months" Amu replied.

Ikuto then started cheering as he pumped his fist into the air, "We're going to be parents! Meaning… we're going to have a little baby!" he exclaimed quietly. Amu giggled as she nodded, picturing a mini version of Ikuto crawling around.

Ikuto wrapped both his arms around Amu, kissing her in a way that sent a quivering warm sensation throughout her body. Amu's hands caressed his strong, firm back as he pulled her closer to him, deepening the kiss.

Just before anything else happened, they were interrupted by being sprayed with a water gun. The couple parted, looking to the side, where Kukai was standing on his expensive motor boat, grinning widely.

"I personally thought you two were stranded, so I came to help" he said with a shrug. "And I thought you two were discussing the baby news and that we shouldn't interrupt!" Utau added, hitting Kukai across the head.

Ikuto smirked, looking at Amu, who blushed darkly and looked away, "Well, you were both right".

"Told you they were stranded! I know my friends" Kukai said, making Utau roll her eyes as she helped Amu into the boat, then Ikuto next.

"And just think, if we weren't here fishing with you two, then how would you ever get home?" Kukai chuckled, glancing at the couple, who were talking to each other animatedly, not paying attention to Kukai.

He guessed they were most likely talking about the baby.

'So, a 'cool n' spicy' perverted cat baby… that'll be an interesting sight to see'.
