Chapter 11
YOSHIKI POV
*3 months later…*
This month has been…weird. Just weird. Obviously, Ayumi's tummy has grown like crazy since she's 6 months pregnant now. She vomits even more now, and she would often panic and scream at the nightmares she often got. It's hard to calm her down sometimes, but she manages to give into my comforting most of the time, which is a bit less stressful.
We also managed to complete our album! The only problem is that since albums need covers and Ayumi's belly is swollen to hell, we can't publish it until we can shoot a cover, which will be after Ayumi gives birth. That means…4 months, since she needs to fully recover too. And speaking of album…
There were few moments where Miki actually were with us at StarDaze to plan our cover. And when she met up, it always looked like something was bothering her. At first, I thought it was because of…I dunno, a guy or maybe school in general, yet I kinda understood that it was a bit more serious than I predicted.
Even mom has isolated herself from us lately too. Every time we meet on the street we just exchange greetings, and that's it. It's almost as if they both have a rainy day in their minds. "If it's rainy days we're talking about, then the sun comes eventually", is what Ayumi said. In a way, I agreed but in another way, I disagreed. For some people, the rainy days stay…for a long time.
But today, was a "sunny" day for both me and Ayumi. We were going to our second sonogram, which meant that we would see our son again! He has probably grown a lot over these 3 months…Ah, I can't wait to see him!
"So, are you ready?" I asked Ayumi. After some struggle, but with my help she managed to put on her jacket. "Now I am!" she said and grinned. I smiled and gave her a peck on the lips before opening the door and going to the parking lot.
*AT THE HOSPITAL*
"Welcome again! Please come on in!" Nakashima-san said with a huge smile. I nodded and almost dragged Ayumi that belly of hers, she often gets really dizzy. "Well I can see that the child has developed quite a lot", Nakashima-san said and laughed. Ayumi grunted and lay down on the bed while I sat down on the chair next to her. After applying the special jelly and fixing the attachments, Nakashima-san turned on the screen, giving us a clear sight of our son.
"He's grown so much, Yoshiki…", Ayumi whimpered out. "Yeah…he looks more like a baby now", I said. Nakashima-san smiled and said: "Yes, it's just as you say Kishinuma-kun! Now, you can clearly see the features on the face and body. He seems to be developing quite normally, so that's good!"
She turned to Ayumi and said: "You only have a few weeks left until you'll give birth to this child. These next few months will be rough on your body, so you need to be strong no matter how much of a pain it'll be. The feeling of holding your child…it makes you forget every moment of suffering…"
Ayumi nodded. "I've gotten a taste of what I'll go through, but for my son's sake I'm willing to go through it!" she said and rose her fist into the air. Me and Nakashima-san laughs at her, making her laugh at herself as well.
"Next time we'll see each other, will be the child birth! Good luck until then!" Nakashima-san said and showed us to the door. "Thanks a lot, Nakashima-san!" Ayumi said and smiled. Suddenly, the phone inside the room started ringing. Nakashima-san took it, but as long as she listened, the darker her facial expression got. "Y-yes…", she said in a shaky voice and looked at me. Huh? Why is she…
She went a bit closer to me and said: "Kishinuma-kun…there's something I have to inform you about". "Huh? Me? What's wrong?" I asked. "I don't know how to say this, but…" Nakashima-san coughed and folded her hands together. "What…?" I repeated. Nakashima-san took a deep breath and said:
…
…
…
"Your father collapsed and is now here in the hospital. He's asking for you".
*A PANICKING AND RUNNING SEQUENCE LATER*
I desperately knocked on the room she told me he was in. Why am I even this worried?! I don't even like him…! But…why would he ask for me? He doesn't like me either! But his speech…in our wedding…I guess it kinda made me look at him as a dad...for the first time in a long time. Now I think I know why mom and Miki were in such a bad mood! They knew about this! They knew that he would collapse or something, yet they didn't tell me!
After a while, mom opened the door and looked at me with bleary eyes. "Where is he?" I asked. Mom pointed inside the room and let me in, making me witness Miki sitting down in a chair next to the bed Isao lay in. His face was really pale and worn out, as if he didn't get any sleep for weeks. Miki had her hands folded together and she had her head lowered downwards. She didn't even react when I came in.
"Hi…", I said as I saw them. Isao turned his face and mumbled in a groggy voice: "Hello…". "Hi, Onii-san…", Miki said halfheartedly. "You…called for me…" I said. Isao nodded and sat up a bit. "Did you…want to talk about something…?" I asked him. Even after all that, I guess Ayumi made me a more soft-hearted and forgiving person than I used to be.
Isao nodded again, a bit more sincere this time. Then he turned to mom and Miki and asked: "Can you two please give us some privacy? I want to tell Yoshiki in privacy". Just as Miki was going to protest, mom put her hand on her shoulder and dragged her out of the room.
I sat down on the chair Miki sat on and made myself comfortable. Hehehe, the seat is really warm…I looked at Isao's worn out face and asked: "Just…what happened…?" I asked. Isao took a deep breath and said:
"Yoshiki…I'm not exactly fine…"
