9 Months
Disclaimer: I don't own Crescent Moon.
Last time on 9 Months: Sometimes she couldn't believe that she was at this point in her life, only two months away from giving birth. It would feel overwhelming on occasion, but she always had her husband and friends to lean on. And just as she thought that, Mitsuru came in and smiled when he saw her.
"How was the party?" he asked.
Mahiru smiled as well and told him all about it.
A/N: Yay! I managed to post this when I promised I would. Miracles can happen. Enjoy everyone!
Chapter 8: The Eighth Month
What if she wasn't a good mother?
With her due date closing in as each day passed, that was all she seemed to think about lately.
She knew it was a ridiculous question to even think, but she couldn't help it. Since she was on maternity leave, she didn't have much to do all day but sit around with her thoughts and watch TV. The sudden questioning of her mothering skills had to be the cause of her insane hormones and all of the soap operas and talk shows she had started watching recently.
It wasn't like she wasn't good with kids; she was great with children! But what if that didn't translate to her son? She knew a few mothers who couldn't stand other people's kids, but were the best moms with their own children. What if it was the opposite way for her? What if she was completely hopeless with her own son?
It was times like these that she really missed her mom. She could've given her advice on how to raise a child and reassured her that she would be a great mother. None of her friends had children yet, so it wasn't as if she could talk to them about this. They wouldn't understand, not really.
Maybe she should talk to Mitsuru. He was probably having his own doubts about being a father. She couldn't be the only one having sudden fears about parenthood.
And even if she was the only one of them who was freaking out, she knew he would be able to settle her nerves and uplift her spirits about becoming a mother. That's what husbands were for.
A/N: Only one more chapter left! The latest I'll have it done should be Wednesday, if not sooner, so be sure to check back then. Please review!
