DISCLAIMER: I do not own Daisuke…I mean D.. ;D
Chapter nine ~ months going by
Month One:
Dear Journal,
I woke up to a sound coming from the bathroom, it wasn't the sound of water, it was the sound of someone being sick, come to think of it, where's Miss Riku? Was she on her run?
I knocked on the door. 'Dai?' Why is mum in there? I thought. Is she sick? 'Come in Dai,'
'O-okay,' I slowly opened the door, only to discover that it wasn't mum being sick, it was Miss Riku. Was she being sick from last night? Was the food too much on her stomach?
'Don't worry Dai; it's natural for those who're pregnant,'
'Ah…okay, will she be alright?'
'Yeah, after she's sick, she'll be perfectly fine, she'll get moody occasionally, so be nice!'
'Right,'
'Dai, don't you have work? I know its morning, but don't you have to prepare?'
'OH! YES I DO! THANKS MUM! I'LL PROBABLY BE HOME LATE! TELL NAKAO I SAID HI!'
'Yes!'
I don't want to go to work! What about Miss Riku.
At work
'Daisuke! How are those pastries coming?'I then realised that I was doing. 'Daisuke, you okay? You keep zoning out?'
'Uh, yeah, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about Miss Riku.'
'Ah, your fiancée, did something happen?'
'A couple hours before we came to dinner last night, she told me she was pregnant, so I'm just worried about her,'
'Really? So young! Do ya know when it happened?'
'One night, she caught me with her sister, but it wasn't what she thought, dad set me up, she ran away, I caught her, and then I guess it just happened. Well I think it was then.'
'Hmm… I guess. These things do happen. Are you going to abort?'
'No! Miss Riku was having some denial about it. But…it was because she thought I didn't want it. I don't want her to think those things. I do want it. But it depends on what she wants.'
'And?'
'And…she wants it, so I wouldn't have it any other way.'
'Hmm beautiful isn't it? The bond of love.'
'Yeah. It really is.'
It really is. From: Daisuke.
Riku's POV
Dear Diary,
I was sick again this morning. Is it always gonna be like this? But to make matters worse…DAISUKE SAW!
'Are you feeling better?' Mrs Niwa asked.
'Yeah, you were right, after being sick, you do feel better,'
'Yeah, you have work at eight, it's seven, so I'd recommend that you set off now, here take this,' she held out a tray with a glass of milk and a buttered piece of toast. 'Breakfast on the go!' I gulped down the milk picked up the toast put the corner in my mouth and started heading to the door. Then remembered…
'If someone named Nobu, and you know Nakao, if they come by, can you tell them to come to my work?'
'Sure.'
'Thanks!'
At Work
I walked in the store. 'Hello! I'm here!'
'Hello! Riku! Come around back!'
'Okay! Hello?'
'Yes, Riku, here is your badge, we open in five,'
½ and hour later
Ding-a-ling 'Welcome!' I called.
'Riku!'
'Nobu!'
'Riku! Hello, I'm sorry; we got to the mainland quicker than expected.'
'Oh, that's fine, my lunch break is soon, take a look around that area,' I pointed to the babyish (pale) colours 'you like those kind of clothes, don't you?'
'I do, thanks Riku.'
Break time
'So, Riku, how are things with Daisuke?'
*blush* Nobu just had to ask! 'Um…uh…well…'
'What's got you so quiet? Hmm…plus, you…are…blushing!'
'What? No I'm not!'
'Ah Riku-san…you are,'
'Not you too Nakao!'
'Sorry Riku-san, but its true!'
'*sigh* now I guess I have to tell you!'
'What? What is it?' Nobu pestered.
'Well…I'm…'
'WHAT? SPIT IT OUT!' Nobu was getting intrigued. She continued persisting.
'I'm…I'm…I'm pregnant!'
'WHAT?' Nobu and Nakao said in complete sync.
'You heard me!'
'Well…when?'
'?'
'When did it happen?'
'1 Day and 2 nights ago.'
'Wow…so what are you going to do?'
'Um…I want to keep it. So does Daisuke. So we're keeping it.'
'Hmmm, maybe we didn't come at a good time, but I gotta say, we aren't with you for a couple days and he goes and get's you pregnant. Hmm, maybe I should punish him, he he he' Nobu smiled it's too scary to even imagine what she's thinking.
'NO! DON'T DO ANYTHING!'
'Eh? Why not!'
'Because I'm telling you not to!'
'Fine. Now, about the wedding…
*gulp*
From: Riku
Month two:
Dear Journal,
I paced back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
'Daisuke!'
I snapped out of it and back into reality. 'Huh? What?'
'It's nearly time are you ready yet?'
'Huh? Yeah.'
I walked with Nakao out the door and towards the church. 'Too bad your dad couldn't come.'
'Yeah. Too bad.' I looked the side, remembering the past evens that my dad caused. I will never forgive him for trying to break me and Miss Riku up!
The pianist started playing, the doors opened, my mother came first, spreading flowers everywhere, then Mio with the rings, and then, my darling fiancée. Her white silk dress flowing to the ground, purple iris and pink moonflower bouquet in her hands, her arm linked with her father, red ribbon around her waist, white gloves, one gloved linked to the bottom of her dress so if she lifted her arm it lifted her dress up a little, white vale over her face, my little stranger making a small lump in her chest. Riku looked like an angel. If her wings were out, she would be.
She reached the alter and turned to face me. I lifted her vale so I could see her face. She had a pink feather clip in her hair, her sweet smile on her face. I smiled back. 'You look beautiful.'
The priest started, 'we come here today, to bond these to loving people in holy matrimony, if there is anyone here today who objects to them, speak now or forever hold your peace…' *silence* 'do you, Daisuke Niwa, take Riku Harada to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, through sickness and health, to death do you part?'
'I do.' The biggest words I'll ever say.
In the car – to the ceremony's dinner
'Miss Riku-'
'Daisuke, I'm not "Miss Riku" anymore!'
'Oh, right, Mrs Riku,'
'Can't you call me Riku yet?'
'Umm, R-r-ri, no I can't'
'*sigh* seems like I'm going to be called Mrs Riku for the rest of my life!'
'I'm sorry!'
'Don't worry I don't mind! *smiles*'
I love this woman. It'll never change.
Near the end of the dinner party
I was talking to some friends, when out of the corner of my eye I saw Mrs Riku leave the room. Where is she going?
'Sorry guys, excuse me for a minute.' I started walking; I left the room and found my wife standing on the balcony hand on her stomache, looking out towards the stars. 'What's wrong?'
She turned. She was…smiling?
'Daisuke!' She ran towards me. 'Feel!' She took my hand and placed it on her stomache. *nudge* 'Did you feel it?'
'Yeah, it's kicking!'
'Mm-hmm!'
'Let's go. The dinner is ending now.'
'Okay.'
As we stated walking, I felt something on my arm. I looked at my arm. She was leaning against it. 'Are you tired?'
'Little.'
'Okay, just last a little longer.'
'Yes.'
End of dinner party
'Thank you all for coming.'
'Bye!'
'That's everyone Mrs Riku, ready to go now?'
'What about the car?'
'Mum says she'll send someone to get it.'
'Okay, let's go then!' She smiled, but I saw through it, it was a fake smile, something was wrong; I'll have to find a way to get her to tell me…hmm.
We walked to the balcony, she wobbled. I rushed and helped her stabilize. I looked up at the moon. I felt a soft movement on my left side, I looked at Riku, her wings where out, there were hidden slits in the back of her dress for her wings, I moved in front of her, knelt down, put my hand out and looked her in the eyes. 'Mrs Riku, may I have this dance?' She nodded. I took of my tuxedo jacket, and spread out my wings. Held her in the waltz pose, 'ready?' She nodded.
We slowly started flapping our wings. We rose from the ground and spun as if waltzing as we flew through the sky. She started wobbling, I looked at her, her eyes where closing, her grip was slipping, her flapping stopped, she started falling, I flew as fast as I could to catch her, I did. She was sleeping, I held her in the classic bridal hold. And flew us to Destiny Island, our home for the next few weeks.
Next Morning
'Daisuke! I want Coconuts!'
'What? Why Coconuts?'
'I WANT COCONUTS!' She glared at me in a very indescribable way. This probably what Mum was talking about.
'Okay.'
20 mins later
'Want to go swimming?' I asked already changed, ready to swim.
'Um, would it be okay if I swum?'
'I'm sure it'll be fine.'
'Okay! Be there soon!'
5 mins later
'Daisuke!'
I turned to see Mrs Riku running toward the sea in a full white swimsuit. 'Over here!' She ran into the water…and tripped. 'Mrs Riku!'
'Daisuke?'
'Are you okay?'
'Yup!'
I helped her get up. And start swimming, not long after she got a cramp, so we went back inside. 'Are you sure you're okay?'
'Yes Daisuke. Stop worrying.'
I sat next to her on the couch. I put my legs up. She slowly laid down into my chest. I put my arms around her.
'I love you Daisuke.'
'I love you too.'
'Daisuke…?'
'Mm?'
'I want Coconuts.'
From: Daisuke
Riku's POV
Dear Diary,
'Riku!'
'Yeah? I turned to see my father smiling at me.
'It's time.'
'Okay.'
I turned towards the door. Linked arms with my father, the doors opened…the pianist started playing. Mrs Niwa walked in first spreading flowers everywhere. Then Mio with the rings then, my turn. I started walking down the aisle. I saw Daisuke smiling at me sweetly. How I melt in his smile. I reached the alter. He lifted my vale. 'You look beautiful.' I smiled at his words. We turned and faced the priest.
The priest started, 'we come here today, to bond these to loving people in holy matrimony, if there is anyone here today who objects to them, speak now or forever hold your peace…' *silence* 'do you, Daisuke Niwa, take Riku Harada to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, through sickness and health, to death do you part?'
'I do.' My heart skipped at the words.
'Do you, Riku Harada, take Daisuke Niwa to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, through sickness and health, to death do you part?'
'I do.' I did it! I said it!
'Now the exchanging of rings.' I took Daisuke's ring, he took mine, and then we put it on each other's ring fingers. 'You may kiss the bride.'
Daisuke lent down, and kissed me on the lips. He has stolen my heart, I have stolen his, and I don't intent on giving it to anyone, or giving it back! We are now tied with the red string of fate. The kiss was short, but passionate. When we broke apart we walked down the aisle together.
When everyone was outside, I asked, 'girls! Are you ready?'
'YES!' I turned my back to them and gave the bouquet a throw. It seemed like time stopped as the bouquet was in the air. Who was destined for the next marriage? *Catch* I turned around to find Nobu had caught the bouquet. She was so happy. She was lucky. 'Yes! Nakao look! I caught it! I caught it!'
'Let's go to the dinner!' Daisuke shouted.
We got into the car and headed towards the dinner, everyone followed in their cars.
'Miss Riku-'
'Daisuke, I'm not "Miss Riku" anymore!'
'Oh, right, Mrs Riku,'
'Can't you call me Riku yet?'
'Umm, R-r-ri, no I can't'
'*sigh* seems like I'm going to be called Mrs Riku for the rest of my life!'
'I'm sorry!'
'Don't worry I don't mind! *smiles*'
Near the end of the dinner party
'And now for the dance! The first dance, the waltz, will first be performed by our newlyweds!' the DJ said into the mic.
I got up, led by Daisuke, to the floor. He bowed and held his hand out; I curtsied and took his hand. The music started. 1 2 3, 1 2 3. We glided across the floor. I never usually went to the social dancing the school held. But this time it was special.
'Aw, aren't they cute.' The DJ commented.
The music stopped and I went and sat down. Daisuke went and talked to some of his mates. I started to feel a twinge in my stomache. I walked outside. I put my hands on my stomached *nudge* It's kicking! The baby's kicking!
'What's wrong?' I heard Daisuke call.
I turned. I was smiling, he looked confused. 'Daisuke!' I ran towards him. 'Feel!' I took his hand and placed it on my stomache. *nudge* 'Did you feel it?'
'Yeah, it's kicking!'
'Mm-hmm!'
'Let's go. The dinner is ending now.'
'Okay.'
As we stated walking, I felt dizzy so I started leaning against Daisuke's arm. 'Are you tired?' He asked.
'Little.' I replied.
'Okay, just last a little longer.'
'Yes.'
End of dinner party
'Thank you all for coming.'
'Bye!'
'That's everyone Mrs Riku, ready to go now?'
'What about the car?'
'Mum says she'll send someone to get it.'
'Okay, let's go then!' I smiled; I knew he saw through it, it was a fake smile. We walked to the balcony, I wobbled. He rushed to my side and helped me stabilize. He looked up at the moon. I let wings out, there were hidden slits in the back of my dress for my wings, he moved in front of me, knelt down, put his hand out and looked me in the eyes.
'Mrs Riku, may I have this dance?' I nodded. He took of my tuxedo jacket, and spread out his wings. Held me in the waltz pose, 'ready?' I nodded.
We slowly started flapping our wings. We rose from the ground and spun as if waltzing as we flew through the sky. I started wobbling I was feeling dizzy, my grip was slipping, my flapping stopped, I started falling, I blacked out.
Next morning
I woke up to the sound of the sea and sea gulls, but no…where? Where's Daisuke? But before I could even think of looking for him, I had some business in the bathroom to take care of…I ran to the bathroom. *throws up*
5mins later
'Daisuke! I want Coconuts!'
'What? Why Coconuts?'
'I WANT COCONUTS!'
'Okay.'
20 mins later
'Want to go swimming?' Daisuke asked already changed, ready to swim.
'Um, would it be okay if I swum?'
'I'm sure it'll be fine.'
'Okay! Be there soon!'
'Daisuke!'
He turned. I was running toward the sea. 'Over here!' I ran into the water…and tripped. 'Mrs Riku!'
'Daisuke?'
'Are you okay?'
'Yup!'
He helped me get up. And start swimming, not long after I got a cramp, so we went back inside. 'Are you sure you're okay?'
'Yes Daisuke. Stop worrying.'
He sat next to me on the couch. He put his legs up. I slowly laid down into his chest. He put his arms around me.
'I love you Daisuke.'
'I love you too.'
'Daisuke…?'
'Mm?'
'I want Coconuts.'
From: Riku
Month 3:
Dear Journal,
The past few weeks have been hard. We've been back for a few weeks. Mrs Riku keeps wanting Coconuts! It's driving me crazy! She is happy one second, angry the next! She's moody. But I guess one good thing has happened. She's stopped throwing up a lot more. Right now Mrs Riku and Mom are at the doctor's getting a check-up. She doesn't want me there for some reason. I don't know why. That's all I really have to say.
From: Daisuke
Riku's POV
Dear Diary,
The past few weeks have been hard. We've only been back a couple weeks. I keep craving Coconuts. I don't know why. I keep being absolutely happy, but next thing I know, something's ticked me off and I'm angry! I guess one good thing has happened to me. I'm throwing up a lot less. I've gone with Mum to get a check-up at the doctors. I don't want Daisuke here. I don't want him here in case something's wrong with the baby. If something's wrong and he's here. I don't know what I'll do. There's nothing more to say.
From: Riku.
Month 4:
Dear journal,
Riku's tummy is MUCH bigger. She's at another check-up…without me. She only seems to want to go with Mum. Have I done something? But I don't want to pester her about it. I don't want to see her bad side…again.
FLASHBACK:
'Do I look big in this? Does it shape me too much?'
I looked at her. She looked big. 'Do you want complete honesty?'
'Yes.'
'Fine. Yes, you look big in that, it shapes you a little too much.'
'WHAT!' *punch*
'OW! What was that for?'
'You were mean! You were too honest!'
'You asked for complete honesty! And that's what I gave!'
'SHUT UP!' *throws chair*
END OF FLASHBACK!
You don't want to know the rest. Trust me. But, I better talk to Riku about the check-up situation.
Riku's POV
Dear diary,
I think I was a little too harsh on Daisuke. Maybe the chair was a bit of a stretch. Luckily, the check-up went well. The baby is healthy and growing. I worry about Daisuke. He doesn't seem happy with me. The doctor said since the baby is growing so fast it may even come early! Not this month! But not in the ninth month either! Should I tell Daisuke? I'm not sure. It may worry him.
What should I do?
From: Riku
Month 5:
Dear Journal,
I was cleaning the bedroom. When I found something. It was locked. I found the key; it turned out to be Riku's diary. It contained recent entries that were very, revealing. The baby's coming early eh? If she's suffering this much she should have told me.
I'll have to talk to her about this.
From: Daisuke
'Hey Darling!'
'Hey honey! Wait…did you call me Darling?'
'Hmm so I did, well you don't like being called Mrs. Riku so it's a difference, isn't it?'
'Yeah, it's a start.'
'Start? Anyway that's not what I need to talk to you about. I found this.' I held up her diary. She was shocked.
'Where did you find that?'
'I found it when cleaning!'
'Did…did you read it?'
'Um-uh…'
'Daisuke. Did you read it?' She seemed panicked. And angry.
'*sigh* yes. I did. But it's something in it that I want to talk to you about.'
'I can't believe you read it. But fine. What do you want to talk about?'
'The baby possibly coming early.'
'*sigh* I didn't want to tell you that it was possibly coming early because I thought it would make you worry.'
'IDIOT! I will worry about you if you don't tell me things! Because I can tell when you're upset!' I threw my hands over my mouth. Did I just call darling an idiot?
'D-Daisuke. I-I-I-I'm sorry!' She yelled then ran into our room. *sigh* on instinct I ran after her. I found her pouring tears, her head buried into the pillow.
'Darling? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled.' I walked up to the bed and sat next to her. 'This is hard on you, I know, but if your suffering. Tell me. You may not think it, but I find you very easy to read. I am your husband after all. I can tell if you're upset and I don't like seeing you upset so please tell me these things.' She reached up and clung to my arm. She placed her head on my shoulder and cried more. I shifted so her head rested on my chest, I put my arms around her. 'It's okay, I'm here. And if the baby does come early. I'll be happy because I'll get to see our little angel sooner.'
She cried until she fell asleep. I put her in bed. And fell asleep myself not long after.
Month 6:
Dear Journal,
Darling has been more open. She told me the real reason of why I'm not allowed to go to any of the check-ups. I understood. I accepted the reason. But made her promise to tell how the check-ups go and what the doctor says.
Life is good.
From: Daisuke.
Month 7:
Dear journal,
Life for me is getting harder. Other than dealing with work, chores, and normal Mrs Riku. She now has an evil side! Well…eviller. But she's so cute, yet scary when angry! Her stomache is…*looks around* HUGE! If I didn't know she was pregnant I probably would have called her fat. *looks around* few she isn't around. *gets yelled for* gotta go. Dinners ready.
From: Daisuke.
Month 8:
Dear journal,
The baby's due next month! But, is it gonna come early. Or-or um uh AHHHHH! What am I going to do
'Daisuke!'
Anyway, what am I going to do?
'DAISUKE!
Ugh, I'll finish writing later.
'YES DARLING!'
'COME…DOWN…HERE…NOW!'
'Okay!' She's talking funny, is she okay? I ran downstairs. She was clutching her stomache. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
'It's…coming…early!'
'WHAT?'
'Help! It hurts!'
'Uh, let's go to the hospital, I'll fly us there!' I grabbed her hand ran out the doors, put my wings, and flew off, not caring if anyone was watching. I held her in bridal hold, she clutched her stomache.
'Daisuke! It hurts! It hurts!'
'Keep calm, deep breaths, we're nearly there!' When we arrived she got rushed into emergency, they told me stay out. I called mum and Nakao. Mum and Nobu they were allowed in with Mrs Riku. Why not me? Then again from all the screaming I don't think I want to be in there. But I'm so worried!
'AHHHHHH!'
'Keep breathing your nearly there! 1-2-3 puuuush!'
'AHHHHHH!'
'Great, again, 1-2-3 puuuush!'
'AHHHHHH!'
A/N: So what ya think? I'm currently writing another story at the same time. Anyone interested in a Ouran High School Host Club X Vocaloid story? –IT'S COMING SOON!
