"Ugh..." Shiena gripped her stomach while she barfed up her breakfast.
"Geez what in the hell did you eat?" Matsuri said while held her friends hair back.
"I just had two pieces of break and orange juice! I don't know why I'm-"
She turned back and vomited again. It's been about 2 months since Otoya and Shiena came back from the village. They were supposed to tell Shiena's parents but instead waiting because right when she got home, her parents scolded her about leaving home. With that she was grounded for three months, so it wasn't the best one to cause more havoc.
"Well why don't you just call home? We have a meeting today but I'll tell boss that you got sick and went home early."
"Ugh thank you so much Matsuri." She stood up and wiped her mouth, " I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thanks for picking me up Otoya, I know I shouldn't of asked on your day off."
"It was no problem baby, come on. We can go to the beach or something." Otoya opened a door for Shiena, smiling brightly.
"Uh yeah sure, that would be fun... But I don't have a bathing suit with me." She sat down and put her seatbelt on.
"We can just go naked! No ones gonna be there!" Otoya said while getting into the drivers seat.
"I'm not gonna do that, drop me off at home so I can get it."
"No, I'll just... I'll just go buy you another bathing suit. Unless you wanna wear one of my old ones!"
She started up that car and drove.
"I'll take one of your old ones then, I don't wanna go shopping."
"Hah, alright then ! I'll just have to stop by my house first!"
"Woah look I got a message from home!" Otoya screamed while holding a big scroll.
"Geez your family is so old fashioned, what does it even say?"
"Hmm." She opened up and frowned, "Damn ancient kanji's hold up a moment..." Her eyes looked about the writing several times before translating.
"Small and tiny, it grows and grows. When the time comes, you will know. Meh I don't know what they're trying to say, anyways let's get changed!" Tossing the scroll to the side then running to her room.
"Hmm." Shiena followed closely hand gripping her still aching stomach.
"Here! It's a bikini but I'll give you something to wear over it if you want!" Shiena smiled lightly and took the bathing suit.
"Thanks, I'll go change into it." She leaned up and pecked her cheek.
"Love you my cute fiancé." Otoya rubbed their noises together before Shiena started to change.
"Woah Shiena you're getting a bit fat." She teased while poking the girl's stomach.
"Oh whatever, it's probably from all the damn food your family fed us." Shiena grumbled , putting on her top then bottom.
"Oh Shiena I'll love you if you're fat! Personally I think you'd look cute with a little chub on ya."
"You're so weird, I'm done changing I'm gonna wait out in the living room."
"Okay I'll get our stuff together!"
Shiena walked out into the living room, zipping up the sweater she put on when Suzu noticed her.
"Oh hi Shiena-chan! I was just reading this scroll, who's pregnant?"
"Hm? What do you mean?" She sat down and stared at her.
"It's a riddle, Small and tiny, it grows and grows. When the time comes, you will know. It means someone is pregnant, or awaiting a baby. Either way they both mean the same."
"Well I'm pretty sure Otoya and I aren't pregnant, so yeah it can't be that."
"Well maybe not, but there are symptoms when you're pregnant. Although I haven't scene Otoya with morning sickness, so I'm pretty sure she's not."
"Morning sickness? What's the symptoms of that?"
"You know, nausea, actually throwing up, being dizzy and stuff."
"Oh..."
Suzu smirked at the brunette, standing up and making her way to the kitchen. Grabbing something from a drawer and tossing it at Shiena. "It's a pregnancy test, go try it for yourself ..."
Shiena caught it and stared at it, "Why do you even have these, Suzu?"
The blue haired woman smiled weakly, "Kouko and I are trying but have no luck yet so we have a lot left over. So hurry up and pee on it, I'll tell Otoya you're in the bathroom.
Shiena stared down at the bright Red Cross that appeared on the pregnancy test. There was a mixture of fear, surprise, and a little happiness. "C-crap how am I gonna explain this ?! Girls can't have a baby normally together! How in the hell!?"
There was a knock on the door which caused Shiena to jump and squeak. "Uh Shiena, are you okay in there?" Suzu asked , opening up the door slightly.
"Y-yeah just got a little scared..." Suzu walked fully into the bathroom and smiled at Shiena.
"So... Are you?"
Shiena took a deep breath and nodded, setting a hand on her stomach. "Yes, I am indeed pregnant. I'm also really scared but happy too and confused on how I got pregnant."
She laughed and patted Shiena's shoulder, "The world works in mysterious ways, now are you gonna keep the precious thing growing in here?" Suzu poked her stomach, smiling at the roundness of it.
"I-I don't know , that's really up to Otoya. I mean if she doesn't want it then I can't really keep it..." She gripped the pregnancy test tightly, wanting to just disappear at the moment. "W-what if she doesn't want the baby and we break up Suzu?" Tears leaked down Shiena's cheeks.
"Shiena ! Shiena ! Calm down , you guys won't break up! You two are already engaged! That shows that Otoya really loves you hun! There shouldn't be anything to worry about! If that woman loves you then you two will just do fine! So don't worry about it."
Suzu pulled Shiena into a hug, soothing the girl with rubbing her back. Shiena's cries sided for little as she looked at Suzu, a small smile itching at her lips.
"Thank you Suzu, I wish you luck on having a baby with Kouko. You'll be great parent, I guarantee." They shared one last hug before Shiena parted, the younger of the two holding the pregnancy test still.
"You'll be great mother too Shiena, now hurry! Otoya's waiting in the car for you!"
Shiena giggled and ran out, tossing the pregnancy test in her bag then going to her lover. Suzu watched with a smile as her hand rubbed her stomach. With that she grabbed her phone and called Kouko up, a few tears leaving her eyes.
"Hello?"
Suzu let out a shaky breath and laughed lightly, "Let's try the procedure again Kouko. I think it'll work this time..."
"Woah Shiena-Chan the water looks so nice."
They pulled up into the nearly empty beach parking lot. Parking then slowly getting out, grabbing things like bags and phones.
"Isn't it a little cold Otoya? I don't think I want to get fully in the water..." She walked over to Otoya, grabbing her hand to hold it.
"Just a little, but we can still get out legs or feet wet. So don't worry cutie."
The two kissed, nothing big just a little peck between them. Shiena needed that kiss, it calmed her a bit down a bit. But she was still scared as hell to tell Otoya she was pregnant. After a moment of silence Otoya started to walk, pulling Shiena along with her. They stood close together their hands linked while they walked to the water. Soon enough they were met with wet sand against their feet and light splashes of water.
"The waters not that cold, I think it's quite alright." Otoya decided to sit down, letting the water cascade over her long legs. It went silent between them and Shiena that it was the best time to confess.
"Hey um I know the answer to the riddle your parents sent..."
"Oh really? What was the riddle again?"
"Small and tiny, it grows and grows. When the time comes, you will know."
"Oh yeah! Anyways what's the answer?" Otoya kept staring out at the ocean, loving the sight of crashing waves.
Shiena inhaled sharply before taking the pregnancy test out. Her hands shook a bit , she finally got a grip though and smiled.
"This is the answer Otoya." She held out the pregnancy test, hands shacking once again.
Otoya looked up from the waves and stared at the object, she gasped and smiled. "You're pregnant ?!" She jumped up and hugged the smiling Shiena.
"Oh my god I'm gonna be a parent, oh shit I can't believe we're gonna have a baby me running around!"
Otoya picked up Shiena, kissing her pregnant fiancé lovingly. "This is great! Now we're a little family!" She sat Shiena down and dropped to her knees, kissing the little baby bump.
"I-I have a baby in here." She started to cry, holding Shiena's stomach closer. "I've brought a new Takechi into the world." Otoya wiped her tears on Shiena's stomach, a smile across her face.
They spent the rest of the day laying on the sand and playing in the water. Shiena was so happy that Otoya wanted the baby, so much to the point she cried tears of joy. At the moment the two were cuddled up together, Otoya's hands safely holding Shiena's stomach.
"Our child will be the first grandchild on both families, also out of all our classmates too. They're gonna be one spoiled little baby."
Shiena softly giggled, loving all the new affection to her baby growing inside her. She closed her eyes pressing kisses to Otoya's cheek.
"Hey um... Do you think it's time for me to meet your parents? We are having a baby now, I think it's about time."
Shiena sighed and stood up, "Let's go then, my dad should be home by now."
"Alrighty then, let's go meet the in-laws."
The house stood before them, kitchen and living room lights on. Shiena turned to Otoya and smiled, "I'll talk to my mother first alright? You can sit in the living room, my fathers usually talking to my mom around this time."
"Alright, let's do this! I'm so ready! Parents love me!"
"I'm sure you are ex psycho serial killer, well it's time to go."
"Can't wait." They kissed slowly, enjoying the press of tongues against each other.
Shiena walked through the front door, pulling Otoya close behind her. "Mom , Dad, I have someone for you to meet. Also big news..."
"What is it honey? Bring them into the kitchen so we can meet them."
Her mother said from the sink, washing dirty dishes.
At the sudden change of plans Shiena stilled and wouldn't move, hands gripping harder on Otoya. "Y-yes mother!"
During all of this Otoya kept a smile, arms holding Shiena in a gentle embrace.
"H-heh we'll meet my fiancé Takechi Otoya!" Shiena pulled them into the kitchen and her mother dropped a plate on the floor.
"Also I just found out I'm pregnant!" This time her father dropped his glass of coffee on the floor.
"F-fiancé huh? W-well Uhm nice to meet you Takechi Otoya." Her mother was afraid and started scooting over to her husband.
"Nice to meet you too ! Don't worry I won't bite ! Haha." Otoya held out her hand, Shiena's mother nervously shook the hand.
"What do you mean you're pregnant she's a women!" Shiena's father yelled in English, throwing off the full blooded Japanese mixed Korean girl.
"F-father I don't know! But look! I really am pregnant and I've only had sex with Otoya!" She pulled up her shirt, just enough to expose her stomach.
Her father froze and groaned , staring at his only daughter before walking to Otoya. Changing his language back to Japanese , "Let me talk to you Takechi Otoya."
"U-uh sure ahaha." Nervous laughing came from her as she pulled outside to the backyard.
"Will father kill her?"
"I think she'll kill him."
Shiena sighed and sat down, twiddling her thumbs. "I um... I know she has a history of murdering but-"
"But what Shiena? She's a serial killer ! Oh my god I can't believe my first grand-baby has a serial killer mother ! Now the family will never welcome me back!"
"Listen mom, she doesn't kill anymore! She's made a promise not to and she's been keeping it !Also it's not my fault you married an American and got kicked out of your family ! Otoya's a nice person , there's nothing to worry about... Okay?"
stared at her daughter, a bit taken back from her little outburst. She felt a bit uncountable and scared, the elder sighed. "I'm just warning you about what could happen."
"So you want to marry my daughter hm?" asked while opening a beer, sipping it.
"Ah yes very much! We got together a couple months ago when I as in prison."
He stopped drinking and stared at her , 'Ah fuck shouldn't of told him that.'
"I-I mean when I was in -"
"Calm down kid I'm not gonna criticize you, I know who you are. It doesn't scare me at all, unlike my shaky wife in the kitchen."
Otoya laughed slightly, "Yeah, looks like she won't warm up to me any time soon."
"Give it time, she's a nice lady. Took her awhile to get used to me, like you I was also in prison. They thought American prisons were too much of a luxury for me, so the U.S sent me to here."
"You were in prison ? You look like some American tourist that probably works as a mechanic I'm America."
laughed , kind of taking a liking to Otoya. "Hah so very true, anyways want a beer?" He tossed one to Otoya a small smile on his old face.
"Uhm sir I'm 18 years old...I'm not old enough to drink yet." She caught it and set it down.
"Oh come on, a long while back the legal age in America to drink was 18! So go by good ol American rules."
"W-well I guess." She opened it , taking a big gulp of it. The taste was absolutely horrible but you learn to enjoy it.
"So, when I was growing up we had something called courting. I'm a little disappointed that you who looks really rural , I get this from your family amulet also my daughter's marriage chocker I saw early. Anyways , surely you have rules that follow the ways of marriage in your village?"
Otoya gulped and nodded her head, "Y-yes there are rules to follow, I was um actually supposed to ask you or your wife for permission to marry first. Then Shiena and I would go out on a couple of outings. In my village you're not supposed to have sex before you're engaged, we did that part ahaha."
"Hm sounds a lot like American courting well, here's the thing Otoya. I'm not getting give you permission to be with my daughter, yes you can still father your child but you can not be with Shiena. You can not see each other until she's 18 and can make her own choice. As of now though, you are not engaged to my daughter."
Otoya gripped the beer can in her arms, tears threatening form her eyes. "Y-yes sir, following my traditional motives I will do as you say and leave your daughter alone." She stood up and dusted off her pants, "It was wonderful talking to you sir, thank you for your time."
Otoya walked through the back door and was almost trampled by her girlfriend. She tried to smile but couldn't fake happiness at the moment. "Shiena I have to go, your father didn't give me the okay to marry you." She pressed a kiss to Shiena's cheek and rubbed her pregnant stomach.
"W-wait what do you mean?!" Shiena began to panic as her fiancé walked away from her, "You can't leave me were engaged and have a baby!"
"It's what your father wants, I can't go against my village rules." She walked out the door, leaving her behind.
Otoya got home and immediately went to Suzu's liquor cabinet. Cracking open bottles of vodka and brandy, chugging the huge bottles. It burned her throat yes, it was destroying her body too, but at the moment she didn't really care. She felt like she just lost everything, and technically she did.
Kouko walked into the kitchen and stared at Otoya. "Takechi! It's not good to consume that much alcohol! You could get alcohol poisoning idiot!" She took the bottles away from the drunk loser.
"Leave me alone! I'm in so much pain it's not even funny! I -" There was a sharp knock on the door, silencing the two.
"Go open the door, assassins are still after me and I'm a bit paranoid without Suzu with me."
Otoya rolled her eyes and shakily got home, making her way to the door. Opening it she was met with a way to familiar face.
"What the fuck do you want Yuri ?" Otoya slurred get whole face in a drunken blush.
"Jesus Christ what the fuck have you been drinking you smell like shit." The older gaged and held her nose.
"None of your fucking business, why are you here?" She growled, getting made already sigh the brunette.
"I have a job for you, it's the least you can do for me. With out me you'd still be in that shit hold of a prison."
"Sure I don't care, what is it?"
Yuri smirked and looked around to see if she's being watched. When it seemed clear she whispered into Otoya's ear.
"I need you to kill the chairwoman of Collective Dismissal, Ms. Anami Sakura. So how about it Takechi?"
Otoya didn't know what overtook her, maybe it was the alcohol or the sadness she felt. But a evil smirk displayed it's self across her lips, a light chuckle coming out.
"Don't mind if I do."
