DIZCALIMER: Coach Hines form MadTV "And if your FOREARM even TOUCHED her...she was PREGANT!" LOL! this is how they told us about safe sex at mah times!
ONCE THEY ARRIVED TO THE CLINIC, Shizuka and Roland found Kaiba already there sitting in the waiting room, waiting for them (ha! I did it again!).
Kaiba nodded curtly, and Roland bowed and left Shizuka with Kaiba there.
Kaiba stared at her intently, while Shizuka found herself blushing and slowly making herself to take a seat next to him.
Shizuka suddenly remembered the words Katsuya said before she ran out of the house, "Are ya saying yer in LOVE with him?!"
No, that isn't it at all! Shizuka thought shaking her head. She isn't in love with Kaiba at all! She CAN'T love Kaiba! She just couldn't.
Shizuka suddenly noticed how stiff and cold Kaiba was acting towards her. There was no way to reach a guy like him, it was just impossible.
He was refusing to speak to her. He was also refusing to look at her. She noticed Kaiba's lipped thinned into a line, and how his foot was jingling impatiently. Wait a sec…was he mad?
Why would he be mad? Shizuka hasn't done anything! So far she had only done exactly as Kaiba had told her to do! So why was he mad?
Shizuka suddenly remembered the incident that happen yesterday…something involving some soup…
So of course he would be mad. But wait…wasn't that awfully IMMATURE of Kaiba to be mad at her? After all, he KIDNAPPED her! She's the one who should be mad at him!
Shizuka couldn't believe this! Shizuka pouted and crossed her arms as well. If someone were to pass by, they would look like identical twins (ha! LOL!).
A nurse came inside the waiting room, glanced at her clipboard and said, "Uh…Kaiba? Mrs. Kaiba?" said the nurse uncertainly.
Shizuka turned to glare at Kaiba, who got up and glared at the nurse, who looked again at her clipboard and read again, "Mrs. …uh…Kaiba? Or is it Jonouchi?"
As both Kaiba and Shizuka walked towards the confused nurse, Shizuka told the nurse, "It's not Kaiba. It's Jonouchi."
The nurse blushed and nodded, "Sorry, my mistake! Haha!"
The nurse took Shizuka's blood pressure, weight, and heart rate. Everything was a little elevated, but Shizuka was told by the nurse that it was normal due to her pregnancy.
Then the nurse led them to their room, where they waited for the ultrasound technician.
"A technician will be with you soon!" said the nice a little too cheerfully for both Kaiba and Shizuka's taste.
Shizuka sat on the examining bed, while Kaiba took a seat they had there.
They were both avoiding their gazes. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
"HELLO THERE MOMMY AND DADDY!" yelled the ultrasound technician as he made his way into the room.
"So nice to meet you DAD!" said the technician as he held out his hand for Kaiba to shake it, but Kaiba merely glared at him.
So he turned to Shizuka, who was alarmed by the young technician's energy and cheerfulness.
The young technician laughed, as he saw "Aw! Mommy looks AWFULLY young to be a mommy! Mommy looks like a high-schooler!" he turned to Kaiba.
"So you like 'em young, huh? Eh? Eh?" he said laughing stupidly at Kaiba as if they just shared an inside joke. Again, Kaiba glared at him. "But she's cute though! Mommy looks really cute!"
Shizuka blushed, she wasn't used to being complemented, "Uh…th-thank you…"
The technician finally took a seat in front of the computer, "Ready to see the baby?" the technician said cheerfully.
He told Shizuka to lie down and left up her shirt, to expose her belly. The ultrasound technician then grabbed some ultrasound gel and rubbed it all over Shizuka's lower abdomen.
"Ok, let's let it sit there of a bit…" Said the technician as he then grabbed the transducer (the thing that looks like a microphone that is used to look inside).
He then placed the transducer over Shizuka's belly where the gel was smeared.
"Ok…ok…where the baby…?" Muttered the technician as he glided the transducer over bit by bit.
"Ah!" said the youth excitedly, "There it is!"
Kaiba got up from his seat and stood behind the youth to get a better look, "You see the head, daddy?" the young man said cheerfully. Kaiba wished he could stop calling him 'daddy'.
"And… little hands forming?! Baby looks very healthy and normal!" but then the technician squinted his eyes carefully at the screen, "Wait a sec…" the technician muttered.
Shizuka was in tears. There it was! Her precious child! Living and growing inside of her!
Shizuka then turned her eyes to Kaiba who had a strange look on his face. What was he thinking? Was he excited? She couldn't tell, Kaiba had a blank expression on his face, but then she notice Kaiba's expression slowly turn into a smirk. He then turned his eyes on Shizuka and he smirked even wider(remember guys, Kaiba never smiles!)
It made him look evil, than happy.
"I think I see…" began to say the youth, but Shizuka closed her eyes and covered her ears, "No!" she cried, "Please don't tell me what it is yet! I want to be a surprise!"
The youth nodded and said, "Would you like to hear the heartbeat?"
"Yes!" Shizuka said happily. But then she turned to Kaiba who nodded.
The technician smiled and he got a heartbeat monitor and placed it on Shizuka's swollen abdomen.
Both Shizuka and Kaiba then heard the galloping speed of the infant.
Shizuka was in tears…this was her child's heartbeat. She couldn't believe how something so small was already having a heartbeat, and how fast it was beating as well.
Hello there, Shizuka thought as she looked upon the screen, be strong little one….be strong for Mama.
LATERS…
Shizuka and Kaiba were in the car, Kaiba was driving them home (Kaiba ordered Roland to take the limousine back to the mansion).
Kaiba was at first in a foul mood, but now he seemed in a better temperament. He kept his infamous smirk on ever since they left the clinic. It sort of scared Shizuka a bit. She didn't want to be near Kaiba, she wished she was driving back home with Roland.
Yet Kaiba insisted that he wanted to drive Shizuka home. What was he going to do? Was he going to punish her for her crime of yesterday?
Despite her uncomfortable situation, Shizuka's mind kept wondering off to the image of her baby on the screen. Her child…her tiny precious child…
They drove for a several minutes, but those several minutes felt like an hour for Shizuka. But her hands were on the handle of the passenger seat, ready to take action in case Kaiba tried to do anything funny.
But Kaiba suddenly parked at a shopping center, he turned off the ignition and then turned to Shizuka.
Kaiba stared at the wheel; he seemed to be deep in thought about something. Maybe he was thinking about something; could he be thinking about their infant? Their? Shizuka shuddered at the thought; she couldn't believe she finally admitted in her head that the child was theirs.
Kaiba took a deep breath, he turned to Shizuka and he said, "This business had turned out way better than I expected…" he continued, "As I have said before, for now on, during these nine months…you can have anything you want…for you and anything that your body needs to take care of the kid."
Anything she wanted? What she would like is to spend time with her child after he or she was born, but that would never happen, In Kaiba's eyes the child was his…not hers. She wanted so much to watch her child to see him or her crawl, walk, cry, laugh, her his or her first words, she wanted to console him or her when needed.
But her child was never going to know her…there had to be some way where she can record all her thoughts and emotions, a way for her child to see her, hear her voice, and get to know her.
That's when it dawn to her…she knew what she wanted. Her eyes lit up, and she slowly turned to Kaiba and said in a hollow voice, "Can…can…can I have a recording camera, please?"
Kaiba seemed a little thrown off about Shizuka's request, "A camera?" he repeated, then he nodded, "Of course," he said.
Shizuka looked at the window, and she gave a small smile.
LATERS…
Shizuka slowly made her way to her room, carrying a brand new box of her new recording camera. It was a Sony Full HD 160 GB Memory Camcorder. It was perfect for her, she could record as much as she wanted, and save her last moments….in a flash drive.
Shizuka entered her room, and locked her door; she immediately opened the box, read the instructions on how to use the camera. After she had everything in order, Shizuka turned on her camera.
She sat in a chair in front of her camera.
May 5, 3:18pm: RECORDING
Shizuka smiled at the camera and said, "Hello there sweetheart!" she said cheerfully, "This is your mama here! And Mama is now officially one month pregnant! See here?"
Shizuka pointed at her belly, "This is you growing inside me! Today was my first time seeing you…"
She stared down dreamily at her belly, "You look so frail and small…but your heart was pumping fast and strong! You…you have no idea how happy Mama was to see you for the first time…"
She said looking at the camera. A tear ran down Shizuka's cheeks…and she hastily wiped it away and grinned.
