"Free." Haruka's words echoed quietly in the room as you felt the child in your stomach moving every time he says this.
"I-It moved." You smiled as your boyfriend held your stomach softly to feel his child as well.
"Free." He said it again and he smiled as well as he felt the child moving from his words.
After a month of several parent-teacher meetings and other necessities and now, you are currently five months [and a few weeks] pregnant and still miraculously carrying a healthy child. Even with the weird looks of your schoolmates, you seemed to have gotten used to it already [with the help of your expressionless boyfriend] so all is needed is to study hard and graduate high school. Today, Gou and Makoto came by to visit you just to see how you two were doing.
"Wow, seeing them talk to the baby is so cute!" Gou smiled as she watches the two of you talking to the baby.
"Free." Haruka smiled softly as he felt the child moving again.
"Free." Makoto interrupted as he went closer to you.
"It's not reacting." You giggled as Makoto gave a sigh.
"Why does it only react to Haru?!" Makoto scratched the back his head in confusion as he wondered about this.
"Maybe because he knows Haru's the father?" You answered back as Haru looked at your stomach once again and he suddenly frowned at your words.
"[Name], did you sleep with Makoto, too?" He asked causing you and Makoto to look at him weirdly.
"Maybe Makoto's the father…" Haruka frowned once more.
"N-No! Why would we-?!" You answered him as you waved your hands. Why is he asking such a weird question?!
"You're jealous." Makoto giggled and Haruka looked away in embarrassment.
"…"
You watched the two of them but you wondered that there seemed to be a tension between the two of them, you wanted to ask Haruka about this later. As you thought about all these, Haruka held your stomach softly.
"Free." Haruka said again and you felt the baby move again.
"H-Hey, Papa! Don't stress 'Saba-chan' too much!" You pouted as you felt the child reacting to Haruka's words again. You suddenly noticed Gou and Makoto's weird looks.
"S-Saba-chan…" Gou looked at you in disgust.
"W-What…It's a good name, right?" You turned to Haruka as he nodded in response.
"You are really going to name it 'Saba-chan'?!" Both Gou and Makoto asked in shock.
"I-I'm used to it." You said slowly and looking away from them as they face palmed in response.
"B-But is it a girl?" Makoto eyes widened as he was excited with the child's gender.
"Me and Haru decided to have it as a surprise." You said confidently. "I want to see the child's gender when it's born."
"Oh I see…" Makoto smiled in response.
Gou then went closer and touched your stomach.
"MUSCLES!" She said enthusiastically.
You felt the baby moving a bit [but you felt it move more when Haruka talks instead.]
"I-It moved…W-wait! Gou-chan! Don't teach such things to the baby!" You huffed at your best friend.
"Hehehe~ Sorry! I-it's just nice to see Saba-chan's reactions!" Gou giggled but Haruka intervened.
"FREESTYLE!" He said a bit louder and you felt the baby move again.
"MUSCLES!" Gou replied back.
"FREESTYLE!"
"MUSCLES!"
"FREE!"
"PERFECT BODY!"
"BACKSTROKE!" Makoto interrupted and all of you stared at him.
"S-Sorry!" Makoto waved his hands in defeat and you frowned at all of them.
"H-HEY! STOP SHOUTING! DON'T STRESS THE BABY!" You glared at the three of them and they silently stopped what they were doing.
"…Sorry." They said in unison.
"B-but did it react to me saying 'backstroke'?" Makoto asked.
"It didn't." you sighed feeling a bit bad for telling the truth.
"That's so unfair." Makoto sighed disappointed that his 'god child' didn't respond to his words.
"But it reacted to 'MUSCLES'!" Gou smiled as her eyes sparkled in interested.
"Yes-But it preferred Haruka's voice." You replied to your best friend as she gave a frustrated response.
"Yes, it's going to be swimming freestyle." Haruka smiled as you felt the child moving again.
"H-Hey, what makes you think that our child would be a swimmer, right away?!" You huffed at your boyfriend and it earned him a determined expression.
"It's reacting to what I said." With that statement from your boyfriend you realized that it could be very possible.
Your boyfriend won this round today.
