Yuki sobbed softly and hugged her knees close. She couldn't count how many times her and Crocodile had done the do, but she showed no signs of bearing a child. She knew he wanted kids, but she wasn't showing any signs of bearing a child. She began to think she couldn't have children and if she couldn't have children, then he wouldn't want her anymore. She was sure he would want a son; all men wanted a son.
Hearing a knock at the door, she jumped and quickly wiped her cheeks dry. "C-come in if it's you, Crocodile."
He stepped in and looked down at her, frowning at her red eyes and puffy cheeks. "What's wrong? Did you cut yourself shaving again?"
She shook her head and sat up on the rim of the tub, draining the water out. He wrapped a towel around her and she said, "I'm just not feeling well. Tomorrow I'll go to the doctor and make sure everything's okay."
He nodded and scooped her up as he picked an outfit with his sand. "That would be wise. Do you want me to join you?"
She smiled slightly and shook her head. "No, I'll be okay. Don't worry about me."
He let go of her and she pulled on the nightgown and panties before curling up. He laid down beside her and pulled her close, being mindful of his hook. She rested her head on his chest and he pulled the blanket up to cover her. She nuzzled close and he gently stroked her ears. "What's wrong with my bunny?"
She shrugged slightly and mumbled, "I'll see what's wrong at the doctor tomorrow."
He nodded and rested his hand on her waist. "I'll stay here and wait for you."
She nodded and nuzzled close before quickly dozing off. He held her close and slowly dozed off alongside her, silently wondering what had his bunny upset.
As usual, Crocodile woke up and changed into his usual attire before waking up Yuki. "Bunny, it's time to wake up and visit the doctor."
She nodded slightly and sat up slowly before feeling his sand lift her up. "Are you sure you don't want me to join you? It won't be a problem if that's what you're worried about."
She rubbed her arms and nodded slightly, mumbling, "Could you just sit in the waiting room, though?"
He frowned, but nodded slightly. "As you wish, bunny."
She nodded and stood up to pull on some shorts and shoes. He pulled her close and the two disappeared in a swirl of sand. She clung to him and stayed still as they weaved through the streets and to the doctor. He easily pushed open the door and rematerialized in front of the receptionist. "My bunny needs to see your best doctor."
Yuki turned pink and the receptionist quickly darted off to find the doctor. Yuki mumbled, "You didn't have to say that."
He shook his head and stroked her hair back, mumbling, "Only the best for my bunny. If it takes too long, I'm going back to join you. Deal?"
She nodded and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Deal."
The doctor opened the door and said, "Mrs. Yuki, you can come on back."
She followed the doctor back and changed into a gown before sitting on the table. The doctor sat on a chair and asked, "So, what do I need to look at specifically?"
Yuki twisted her fingers around. "Could you check to see if I can get pregnant or not?"
The doctor nodded and said, "Of course. Lay on your back and hold your legs up."
Yuki nodded and laid back before pulling her legs up. The doctor walked over and raised the stool before taking a small swab inside her. She turned pink and bit her lip, keeping herself from moaning at the gentle swab. The doctor pulled back and said, "I'll have this tested right away and the results should be in in just a few short minutes."
She nodded and straightened up, staying silent. She tugged the thin gown down some and busied herself with smoothing out the nonexistent wrinkles. Small rivers of sand began to trickle into the room and formed into Crocodile. "How are you, my bunny? Have they ran any tests yet? If they haven't, I'm going to have a few choice words for them."
She smiled slightly at his concern. "No, don't do that. They're running some tests now."
He nodded and formed a chair to sit on. He despised sitting on those things they called chairs at the doctors' office. Leaning back, he glanced around the room before settling on looking at his bunny. He didn't enjoy seeing her worried like this. It made him worry about her.
The two sat in silence for a while and the doctor walked back in, faltering when Crocodile eyed her closely. She gulped slightly and said, "I have your results, Miss. Yuki."
Crocodile narrowed his eyes. "It's Mrs. Yuki. She's my wife."
The doctor nodded quickly. "Of course she is, that was my mistake. Well, the results say you can never bear your own children. I apologize, but the results were almost one hundred percent."
Yuki slowly buried her face in her hands and felt her shoulders start to shake. Crocodile promptly wrapped her up in his coat, scooped her up, and disappeared in a swirl of sand. Reforming in their bedroom, he set her down on the bed and gently tucked her in.
Yuki sniffled softly and curled up tightly. He stroked her hair back and mumbled, "If you need anything at all, tell one of the maids. I assume you want to be alone for a while."
She nodded slightly and buried her face in a pillow. He rubbed her back with his hand and quietly left her. Biting her lip, she cried into the pillow. She simply cried until she fell asleep.
~Few weeks later~
Yuki blankly looked through the clothes laid out on her bed before picking an outfit at random. She slowly put it on and pulled on the pair of shoes laid out with the outfit. Sitting down on the bed, she stared blankly at the floor, waiting for Crocodile to tell her when he's ready to go on the date he planned.
Glancing up when the door open, she stood up and walked over to him. She softly mumbled, "I'm ready to go."
He sighed and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Perk up, Yuki. We're going to a nice resturant and I don't want you to look miserable."
She planted her eyes on the floor and forced a fake smile. "Of course you don't. I'm going to be your happy girl and you're going to show me off to all your fancy people and then afterward you're going back to your office to work and I'll go to bed alone. Like usual. For the past how many weeks?"
Before she could say anymore, he quickly pinned her against the wall and growled lowly. "What the hell is your problem? Are you pitying youself that much? You know what, I can't have children of my own, but do you see me moping around like a child who lost his favorite toy? No, you don't. Now, stop it and act like the girl I fucking fell in love with."
She sunk back away from him, tears welling up in her her head away, she let the tears slip down on her cheeks. Sobbing softly, she covered her eyes with the heels of her hands. Shakily, she said, "I'm sorry, Crocodile. I didn't know." Slumping her shoulders, she clutched his sleeve tightly. She quietly repeated, "I'm so sorry," before sinking down when he released her shoulders.
She hugged her knees close, sobbing into crouched down and slowly pulled her into his lap. "I can't have children of my own, either. We don't even have to adopt one. We can just stay us and I'll just pamper you."
She nodded slightly and wiped her eyes quickly. "I'm sorry, Crocodile. I love you, I do. I've just always dreamed of having my own children."
He held her close and wrapped his coat around her, knowing how much she loved to wrap up in it. Leaning back, he slowly rubbed her back as she calmed down. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, "I love you too, Crocodile."
He nodded and lightly kissed her. "Ready to go and enjoy our night together. I planned it just for us."
She smiled and nodded slightly. "That sounds really nice. Thanks for everything, Crocodile."
He nodded and helped her up before they headed out. Yuki smiled and squeezed his arm. He smirked and lit a cigar, already knowing it would be a good night.
