Hi everyone, I'm back with chapter 4. I know it took a little while, and that's because of one reason. SCHOOL. Anyway, I hope you enjoy !

I DO NOT OWN YUURI ON ICE OR ITS CHARACTERS

Normal P.O.V

The next two weeks went by in a flash. However, things were not easy.

The news of Yuuri's pregnancy was revealed, but only to a small handful of people. They would have waited, but the concern of possible dangers convinced Yuuri and Victor that it was important to say something, especially to his family.

It took some explaining, and a lot of time to clear up confusion, but in the end, Yuuri's parents were thrilled with the news that they were going to be grandparents, and in Mari's case, an aunt. Minako was excited as well.

When it came to their friends, they chose wisely. The last thing they wanted was the news to accidentally get leaked to the press. Of course they would know eventually, whether it be when Yuuri started showing, or they show up to a competition together accompanied by a baby. So only Yurio, Otabek, Chris, and Phichit know of their current situation.

But aside from everything else, things were going smoothly. And since it had been two weeks already, it was time for another Doctor's appointment.

"Yuuri, are you ready ?!" Victor exclaimed from the bathroom.

" I've been ready. I'm just waiting for you."

" I was delayed...you know I couldn't find my other sock this morning."

" Really ? Because it looks to me, " he peered into the bathroom from the bed, " Your messing around with your hair."

" Ah...well it was worth a shot."

" Yeah, a shot that missed. Come onnnn. We have to be there in 20 minutes."

" Okay, okay. I'm coming."

Victor stepped out of the bathroom to see Yuuri sitting on the bed. He had both of his hands on his tummy. No one can really see it when he was clothed, but a small bump was visible when he was shirtless or wearing a shirt with very thin material. Victor smiled as Yuuri tilted his head to the side.

" What ?"

" Nothing." He chuckled, " Your just doing it again."

"Huh ?" He looked down at his hands on his stomach, " Oh..."

" Im not trying to offend you Yuuri, I think it's cute...your protecting our baby."

" I guess it's just become an instinct for me."

" Yeah. A 'motherly' instinct."

" Hey, you said yourself two weeks ago when you were talking to it, to not cause trouble for yourself and daddy. And aside from being able to carry a baby, I'm still very much a male."

" And a very attractive one a that."

" Victorrrr..." Yuuri whined.

" Hahaha...okay. Are you ready ?"

" Yeah. I'll be a lot more reassured and comfortable once we actually have a plan. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been nervous."

Victor smiled " Well that's exactly what we're doing today. You shouldn't have anything to worry after today. Come on beautiful." He held out his hand.

Yuuri blushed and took hold of Victor as he helped him up.

Once they were outside, they got into the car, and left for the hospital.

Yuuri and Victor were called in almost as soon as they arrived. A different nurse led them to the same room they had just two weeks before. was already there waiting for them, as well as a few nurses, and a young women with blonde hair and green eyes.

Yuuri and Victor guessed that this was the medical team was talking about.

Dr. Amari turned her head to see the two men walking towards her. "Hello Yuuri. Victor. It's good to see you."

" It's good to see you too." Yuuri smiled.

" Oh my. You look so much better than the last time I saw you. How have things been going?"

Yuuri sat on the examination table while Victor sat in the same chair as last time. " Great actually. Better than I thought it would."

"He's been doing a lot better. It feels nice knowing I have my Yuuri back." Victor took a hold of his hand.

" Victor...I've never left."

" You know what I mean. You're finally back to yourself."

" That's wonderful, " Dr. Amari stated, " Now to start things off. How have you been feeling ?"

" Not too bad, " Yuuri answered, " I'm not as tired as I was, and the morning sickness has definitely gotten better. Those sea bands you recommended really helped." He held up his wrist to show he was wearing one.

" I'm glad to hear it. Has anything else changed besides that ?"

" No. I don't think so."

" Alright. Well I think it's time to start thinking about what to do with your current situation. As far as I can tell, your keeping it right ?"

Yuuri and Victor nodded.

" Okay. Well as you can see, I'm not the only one in here, " she chuckled, " This is the medical team I've chosen to assist on the day you have your baby. A few other doctors will be there as well, but they couldn't be here today due to having other patients."

Several introductions were made, until she guided the women with blonde hair forward.

" This is Paige. She works as a midwife, and she's also a great friend of mine. You'll meet with her once a week after you reach the 20 week mark to work on exercises and different methods of positions to use during labor."

Victor, Yuuri, and Paige all smiled at one another as a greeting.

" Now, have you put any thought into how you want to deliver ?" said as she grabbed a clipboard from the counter.

" Well, " Yuuri twiddled with his thumbs, " We've talked about it, and we think it's best if I have a C-section, since I...don't think I can do it the other way."

" Okay. And that's a very good choice. A C-section is definitely the safer option. Now we could either induce you at an appropriate week, or you can go into labor naturally. Once you reach close to 10 centimeter mark, we'll prep you for the surgery and go from there."

" Oh Uhm...I'm not looking to rush anything..." Yuuri stated, " So I think I'll just let it happen naturally."

Dr. Amari scribbled down a few notes, "Alright. And if at any time during labor you feel you can't handle it, just know that the option of an epidural will be open to you."

Yuuri nodded.

"Do we immediately bring him here after he goes into to labor ?" Victor asked.

" That's actually another reason I'm here, " Paige stepped forward, " As your midwife, I'll always be on call. So if you want to wait for a little while before taking Yuuri to the hospital, you can call me and I'll be over to help if either of you need it."

" Okay. I'll keep that in mind." Victor smiled.

The both of them were there for about another half hour. Every concern or worry they had was brought up, and everything they should know about was run by them.

A diet plan was created, future symptoms like cravings and mood swings were brought up, and a physical exercise routine was made as well.

" I know it's a big part of your life Yuuri, but the amount of skating you do should definitely be cut down." Dr. Amari stated.

" I understand. I... sort of saw that coming. I'll even say it myself. It's not exactly safe." Yuuri frowned.

Victor saw the disappointed look on Yuuri's face. He put a hand on his knee and gave a sad smile, " It's for the best Yuuri. We can't afford to have you fall and land the wrong way. Especially on your stomach. It could severely hurt you and the baby."

" Yeah...I know."

"Unless..."

Yuuri and Victor turned their heads to face Dr. Amari who had a thoughtful expression on her face, " Yuuri. Now that I think about it, there is a possibility that you can skate." She said.

" Wait. Really ?!"

" Yes. It can be your source of physical exercise. Of course, when I say you can skate, I don't mean doing a bunch of flips and spins, but more or less doing laps around the rink. But I want you to have someone helping you, perhaps having Victor skate right next to you in case you fall. But if you do skate, don't do in alone okay ?"

Yuuri beamed. It was one of the biggest smiles he's had on his face for the last two weeks. " I promise I won't ! Doing laps is fine with me. I'm just happy I won't have to leave the ice." He paused for a moment, " Can I still coach ?"

" Well, if you can settle with talking and no demonstrating then yes. You can. Victor coaches along with you, correct ?"

" Yes, " Victor butted in, " I do."

" Then that's fine. But considering your health and the baby's health, I do want you to be on bed rest once you hit 30 weeks. You'll need as much rest as you can get before the big day. "

Yuuri nodded. "Okay. I understand."

Another 10 minutes passed consisting of a few more minute details to have a complete plan of action. After everything was set, Victor and Yuuri made another appointment in three weeks time for a check up before leaving the hospital.

Once outside, they made their way to the car and drove back to Yu-Topia.

Several hours passed by as the sun began to set. Dinner was being picked up from the table, Makkachin was asleep in Yuuri and Victor's bedroom, and the two men themselves were preparing for a nice, relaxing dip in the onsen.

The hot springs were completely free tonight, thanks to Yuuri's mother who insisted that he a Victor have some time alone.

Victor was already submerged in the steamy hot water that acted as his only cover up, resting his arms on the pools ledge while letting out a content sigh. It was when he heard the shutter doors open that he was slightly disturbed, but he didn't mind at all.

Why ? Because the disturbance came from Yuuri.

The dark haired young man walked barefoot towards Victor, wearing a white robe that was loosely tied around himself. His cheeks were tinged pink, and his eyes were glossy, filled with love and a bit of fatigue.

Victor smiled his award winning smile as Yuuri slowly took of his robe.

He was stark naked, but the main thing Victor was focused on had nothing do with anything sexual. He was looking at Yuuri's midsection, amazed at the tiny bump that had already begun to show.

Yuuri saw Victor staring.

" Like what you see ?" Yuuri teased.

" Well, obviously...but that's not the only thing I'm looking at."

" Well there's not much else."

" You underestimate yourself Yuuri. If anything, there's more of you since you've gotten pregnant, and that's what I'm looking at. " Victor smiled, " Your showing."

" Not much though..." Yuuri said as he eased himself into the hot spring.

" Oh trust me love, that will change in a few weeks." Victor grinned.

" Believe me, I know. Another thing I'm going to have to get used to. "

Yuuri scooted closer to Victor and put his head on his shoulder. Victor brought his arm up to pull Yuuri closer to him. He gently ran his fingers through Yuuri's hair, earning a hum of content from the younger male. This was something that always seemed to soothe Yuuri no matter how he was feeling.

" It's crazy isn't it ?" he sighed.

" What is ? That we're having a baby ?" Victor questioned.

" Well yeah, that's been crazy the last two weeks. But it's going to be weird walking out into a backyard with no hot springs."

The silver haired man froze.

"Oh god. I forgot. We're moving next week !" Victor thought.

Yuuri noticed the look on Victor's face and sat up straight, crossing his arms.

"...Victor?"

"Hm ?"

"...You forgot. Didn't you ?"

" Ehm...no ?"

Yuuri couldn't help it. Victor had a guilty look on his face that could block any anger that may threaten to enter someone's field of emotion. Yuuri could only think of one word to describe it. He giggled.

" Oh Vitya, your so adorable ! "

" Huh ?"

The dark haired young man tilted Victor's head towards his face and kissed his cheek.

" That face your making ! Oh Victor, I'm not mad at you. I can understand why you forgot. A lot went on the last few weeks."

Victor sighed, "Yeah. I've just been so focused on you, that I forgot about other things. But I agree with you. It is crazy."

" It'll be weird. Waking up in a different bed. Not having my family there. Having a whole house to ourselves," Yuuri paused, " I guess it's good that we bought a house with 3 bedrooms, huh ?"

Victor chuckled, " Absolutely ! We know for sure one of the spare ones will go to great use !"

" Yeah... I'm really going to miss it here." Yuuri looked down and fumbled with his ring under the warm water. Victor frowned and traced circles on Yuuri's arm.

" It's not that far away, " Victor whispered, "We're only 10 minutes away by car, and we can come visit when ever you want ! I know how much your family means to you. They've been your touchstone the last 25 years of your life and I see how much you count on one another. But don't forget..."

Victor placed his hand on Yuuri's abdomen and smiled softly, " We have someone counting on us too..."

Yuuri stared into Victor's crystal blue eyes as he spoke, and his smile grew larger with every word that left Victor's lips. He moved his own hand down and threaded his fingers between the hand that cradled his tiny baby bump.

" I love you Vitya..."

Victor beamed and kissed his husband's forehead, "I love you too my Yuuri."

Nothing disturbed them the rest of the night. Everything seemed to be at ease for now as the two of them sat together under the luminescent full moon, drowning under love and relaxation, as any doubts or worries they had floated away into the starry night sky.

That's all for now. The next chapter is a little more difficult for me to write since I haven't completely thought it through. The time range for me to update this story with a new chapter should be anywhere from 1-3 weeks from now. I swear I'm trying my best, but if you guys wanna give me any ideas your free too as long as I find that they don't interfere with what I have planned. Maybe like little filler chapters to give this story more content. :) Thank you all for reading and I'll see you guys next time. Bye! R&R if you would like.
