Chapter 10:
Two & A Half Months Later:
It's been two and a half months since Ichigo was diagnosed with preeclampsia; they were now settled in their new home.
Kiwi got Kish to go on a date with and now they've been going out for a month and a half; he's actually very happy and happy for Ichigo and Ryou as well.
Three days after she was released more aliens showed up and they came in peace; they now live in peace alongside humans. So now Kish, Pie and Tart can look like themselves when they go out in public instead of having to look like humans…uncomfortably.
Three weeks ago they had their baby shower and had gotten a lot of good things that they really and so desperately needed.
Ryou and Sakura didn't let Ichigo do any heavy lifting around the new house; she's only allowed to do dishes, sweep, mop or rest; she's board of out of her damn mind.
"Ryou…can we please watch a movie or something?" Ichigo whined lying next to a fan.
"Sure. What would you like to watch?" Ryou asked sitting next to Ichigo as she sat up long enough to lean against him.
"Are you ok?" Ryou asked concerned.
"Yeah…I'm fine; just really warm." Ichigo replied.
"Do you want me to turn the AC on?" Ryou asked.
"We have AC?" Ichigo asked confused.
"Yeah…you didn't know?" Ryou asked, rubbing Ichigo's forehead, which was covered in sweat.
"No…" Ichigo moaned out.
"Ok give me a second; I'll go turn it on." Ryou said getting up after she moved a little.
Ten Minutes Later:
"How are you feeling now?" Ryou asked now that the AC had been on for ten minutes.
A little better…ohhh…" Ichigo moaned.
"What's wrong?" Ryou asked right away, concerned.
"The babies are playing or something…" Ichigo said holding her stomach.
"Can I feel?" Ryou asked, trying to hold back his excitement.
"Of course; they are your babies as well." Ichigo said as she placed his hand gently on her stomach.
"Wow…they're really moving around today aren't they?" Ryou asked as he felt their babies move around.
"They are. Ichigo didn't move around a whole lot, but she did kick and punch…especially towards the end of the pregnancy. Anyways, I picked up a few more things for the babies." Sakura said smiling.
"What'd you get?" Ichigo asked looking at her mother.
"Just some new clothes and diapers; you can never have too many diapers. I got both girls and boys clothes seeing as you decided you wanted to wait until they came to find out what their genders would be." Sakura said smiling.
"Mother…you didn't have to go out and buy more things; you've already done so much." Ichigo said softly, looking from her mother to the clothes she bought.
"Sweetie…I know I don't have to; I want to. These are my grandbabies and I want to do as much as I can for them as I can. And since these are my grandbabies, I will be spoiling them like crazy." Sakura said happily making Ichigo and Ryou sweatdrop.
'Wow…now I defiantly see where Ichigo get's it from; her mom is just as hyper, happy and crazy.' Ryou thought to himself as he felt Ichigo lean into him.
"I'm sorry about my mom; she can be a little...out there. But I love her." Ichigo said softly as she held onto Ryou.
"Yeah…she seems like an awesome mom." Ryou sighed.
"I'm sorry…I wish your parents could be here for this as well…" Ichigo said holding onto Ryou.
"It's ok; they're here in spirit and they'll always be in my heart. Yes, I wish they were here right now…but I have all that I need right here with you, our babies and your mother. In all honestly, your mother has become somewhat like my own mother. She reminds me a lot of my mother; she's crazy in a good way and very caring and loving." Ryou said holding onto Ichigo.
"Oh Ryou, I love you soo much." Ichigo said hugging him back.
"Oh I love you both soo much! And Ryou, welcome to the family! I don't know if I said that to you yet. And if I did, I really mean it; you're the son I never had!" Sakura exclaimed hugging Ichigo gently and then squeezing the life out of Ryou.
"MOM! Please don't squeeze him to death; I want him to be here for the babies." Ichigo said freaking out.
"Oh, sorry about that." Sakura said a bit embarrassed.
"It's perfectly ok. Oh, Ichigo…this reminds me…when do you want to get married? And would you mind if the babies took my last name?" Ryou asked looking at Ichigo.
"Let's discuss the wedding plans after the babies are born. As for them having your last name; I wouldn't have it any other way. And that reminds me; we're getting pretty close to the due date…we should probably come up with names. And with that being said, depending on what we had, we could name them after your parents when their born…at least one or two of them." Ichigo said softly only to earn a big, but gentle hug from Ryou and tears from her mother.
Just then there was banging on the front door…
I hope you liked it.
