Okay I couldn't leave everyone hanging before Christmas so here ya go. (To tell the truth I had some time on my hands and was able to get this chapter done.) ENJOY!
Chapter 11
Usagi moaned and slowly moved her head while opening her eyes and focusing on her doctor. She noticed she was in her bedroom on her bed.
"Look honey she's okay." Mr. Furuhata said before sighing after his wife let the death gripe she had on his arm go.
"Yes Usagi will be okay." Her doctor said looking to the older couple then to Usagi who tried to sit up but went back down when the doctor gave a gentle push.
"No little lady back on those pillows you go. I told you to rest and no stress. You didn't listen and you almost lost the baby. Thank goodness the Furuhata's were home."
Usagi looked to her stomach before tears came while she sighed in relief.
"Excuse me but could you both leave for a minute?" The doctor asked looking towards the older couple who both nodded and turned and left the bedroom.
After the door was closed she looked to Usagi who looked back.
"Usagi I'm going to put you on bed rest until the baby is born if I don't you could go into labor early or worse…. I know you are alone but Mr. and Mrs. Furuhata both said they will get you whatever you need and said their grandson will also."
"No I'll be fine they aren't family….."
"Usagi you said you have no family around here so let them help unless you want that baby to die. Thank goodness the bleeding stopped but it could start again. You did tell me that you had bled before and that is not normal. So take it easy."
Usagi looked back to her belly then nodded her head.
"Okay." She whispered moving her hands to her stomach feeling her eyes water up again. Those hormones could be a bitch.
"Usako!"
Usagi and the doctor both looked over to the door after it was opened and saw Mamoru stepping into the room staring only at Usagi.
"Mamochan?" Usagi said looking at him surprised. The doctor noticed her voice.
"What the hell happened?" Mamoru asked looking from her to the doctor who suddenly smiled.
"Looks like you won't have to rely on them after all." She said to Usagi who was just looking at Mamoru.
The doctor stood up and started to gather her things.
"Usagi I want to see you next week in my office. I'll have my nurse call you with the day and time. If anything else happens any bleeding or sharp pains then call me right away. You may get up later but take it slow and don't be up for too long. Remember bed rest and no stress what so ever."
"Yes doctor." Usagi mumbled taking her eyes off Mamoru to look to the doctor.
The doctor walked to Mamoru and stood in front of him.
"She is to rest no stress of any kind do you understand?"
"Yes." Mamoru said before looking around her back to Usagi.
They both looked at each other hearing the doctor leave with the older couple who closed the front door softly behind them.
"What the hell happened?" Mamoru asked still standing in his spot.
Usagi looked away from him while her heart sighed getting itself ready to battle once again with her mind while her hormones went and hid.
"Why are you back?" She asked not wanting to look at him so she missed him looking down but she heard him sigh.
Mamoru stood there thinking of what his reason was for being there again. He thought again of Motoki and how he didn't want the older man anywhere near Usagi.
He thought about what he had done earlier but kept silent as he said, "I'm moving in with you. You said yesterday that no one wants you and that's a lie. You said that I don't love you for you and that's a lie. I'm going to move in here and take care of you."
Usagi just sat looking in his direction keeping her lips tightly sealed.
Mamoru ran a hand over his head.
"Usako…..I just found out that you were here. When I went home for my mother's birthday your parents were gone with your brothers and I thought they were on a vacation and you were with them. I only found out you were gone after I called my mother yesterday and when I called and talked to your mom she said to never call you again so I called my mother who told me you were gone. If I would have found out sooner I would have been at your side sooner."
"Yeah right, you seem to have forgotten what you said to me that one day Mamoru."
"I know what I said word for word and I'm sorry."
"Whatever." Usagi said turning her head away.
"If you would have told me over the phone that you were pregnant….." Mamoru started to say but got silent. He wasn't sure what he would have done.
"I didn't know I was really pregnant until I started showing. I had bled some during the months making me think I wasn't." Usagi said with her voice soft.
Mamoru looked away and looked down before his eyes closed.
Usagi turned and looked at him after noticing that he was silent.
"Usagi…I will admit that I used you this past summer at first to satisfy my sexual needs and I'm sorry. I can't express into words how sorry I am for taking you so young. But I'm not sorry that I did. Believe it or not I always knew that I would. Watching you growing up…..And No I didn't want you when you were little I'm not that sick! Call me a pedophile if you want but it's not you as a young child that I want but you as a woman. If I was that sick I would have taken you years ago trust me there were plenty of times when we were alone that I could have." Mamoru said.
Usagi looked down knowing that he was right about the times. During those times he had played her silly games and joked around with her they had been alone in her room or his. He was the playmate she needed and that was it then.
Mamoru walked over and sat at the foot of the bed and looked down at his feet.
"I was going to wait for you and I'm sorry I didn't. I'm sorry I made you grow up faster than you should. But I'm not sorry that I love you." Mamoru said as he reached forwarded to take her hands but dropped his hands when she pulled back and put her hands under the covers.
"I won't touch you again until you tell me too and let me. I will wait this time for you to be ready. But I am going to move in with you and take care of you just like I always did in the past." Mamoru said then stood up and walked out of the room.
Usagi sat there in shook hearing the front door being opened then closed. A few minutes later she heard the door open and heard what sounded like some bags being dropped then the door was closed again then opened with more things being dropped.
Usagi slowly got up and walked to the door and looked in the living room spotting his bags. Mamoru came back in with the last of his things and closed the door.
Spotting Usagi he stood beside the table and looked at her then started in her direction with a bag. Usagi stood to the side and watched him walking to the large dresser.
"You sleep in here in the bed and I'll take the couch." Mamoru said from the dresser.
He turned around and looked at her.
"Make a list later of what we need for… I'll go out and get it. You can come if you like."
Usagi blinked her eyes then started to walk back to the bed and got back under the covers. She looked when Mamoru stood in front of her and covered her better.
"Rest right now I'll just be unpacking." He said before walking out to grab another bag.
Usagi finally moved her eyes off of him and reached for some paper and a pen and started to make the list stopping now and then to look at Mamoru wondering if she was dreaming.
That evening Usagi stayed in the bed and watched Mamoru as he made them some food. He came in long enough to give her the plate then he was back in the other room sitting at the table.
True to his word Mamoru slept on the couch that night.
In the early morning Mamoru's eyes popped open trying to remember where he was, he looked around before he heard Usagi from the bedroom making a noise.
Noticing it was cries she was making Mamoru got off the couch and ran to the room. Seeing she was asleep Mamoru moved the cover's up to cover her shoulders but watching her head moving and the tears falling, Mamoru got under the covers and pulled Usagi into his arms.
He listened to her sigh while her body relaxed as one arm went and rested on his chest. Mamoru smiled and pulled the cover up more making sure she was covered before he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her body closer. He smiled as he remembered those weeks during the summer and their parents were gone and he held her like he was now.
"I'm sorry Usako so sorry. I'm sorry for being stupid and saying what I did that day. I will do everything I can to make you realize that and realize that I do want you for you." Mamoru whispered into her ear.
He smiled when Usagi moved her body closer to his while mumbling something in her sleep.
Mamoru looked down and pulled his body back just a bit after he felt the kick coming from her stomach. His widened eyes finally blinked as he moved his shaking hand to touch were the kick came from. Not feeling anything Mamoru started to draw his hand away but put it back when his fingers felt movement.
His palm rested on Usagi's stomach and slowly moved around before he smiled after his hand was kicked. Mamoru stayed awake for the rest of the early morning just feeling the baby moving as his smile stayed in place.
Sometime as the sun started to come up, Mamoru forgot all about how he hadn't wanted children early. He forgot everything he used to tell himself, that he had time and a family could wait.
Mamoru gently and quietly got out from under the covers and off the bed. He reached and panted Usagi's belly before leaning over and giving her forehead a kiss. He walked over and closed the door then walked over and fixed some breakfast whistling softly.
As he finished he looked up after hearing a noise and spotted Usagi walking towards the bathroom.
"You're not to be up."
"The doctor said I could be up a little and I'm not going to pee in the bed." Usagi snapped before she walked into the bathroom then closed the door.
Mamoru bit his lip then walked back over to the stove and finished getting the food on the plate.
Usagi walked out and looked over at Mamoru who had turned around and was holding a plate and glass of juice for her. She turned away then walked back to the bedroom trying to hide the giggle that was trying to come out after she saw Mamoru wearing an apron.
She got back into the bed and looked up seeing Mamoru walking over towards her with the food. Usagi took the items and mumbled thanks before she started eating being glad that she didn't have to cook for herself.
Watching Mamoru leaving the room Usagi smiled and thought that it would be okay with him around at least she knew she would eat and wouldn't have to worry as much. Her mind refused to let her heart admit that she wanted him near and was glad he was there.
She ate trying to not think about the man in the other room. She wouldn't look at him when he walked back in to get her dishes.
Usagi settled down in the bed and rested trying to make sure she relaxed.
"Usako do you want anything special for lunch?" Mamoru asked from the doorway.
"I don't care." Usagi mumbled.
Mamoru sighed and looked down then back to her after she sat up better.
"What's wrong Mamoru?" Usagi asked sounding like she really didn't care.
"Nothing." Mamoru mumbled walking to the other room.
Usagi watched him sit down and reach for a newspaper.
Usagi sighed knowing she shouldn't have been so snappy towards him. She could tell that he was trying to change and she wondered why.
'It's because he does love you….No he's just doing it to have sex…No….Yes…..No….Yes…..No…..' Usagi shook her head trying to get her heart and mind, her thoughts to stop flowing.
"Damn it!" Mamoru called from the couch as he threw the newspaper down.
Usagi got out of the bed and walked over and looked at him from the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mamoru snapped as he looked to her then away thinking of how beautiful she looked in her nightgown. He glanced down to her belly and it really hit him at that moment that Usagi was carrying his child.
"You don't have to snap at me. I didn't do anything wrong." Usagi said getting upset not realizing that her hormones were about to act up.
"I'm not upset with you over anything." Mamoru said softly.
"Yes you are Mamoru I know you very well better than you know yourself." Usagi whispered knowing it was true.
She looked down then up seeing Mamoru staring at her stomach.
"We are going to marry." Mamoru suddenly said looking up into her eyes.
"No we aren't. I'm not old enough sure I have an ID that says I'm eighteen but no…"
"Why do you have an ID saying that you're that age?" Mamoru asked suddenly remembering how she had said something before about her father and something he had done.
Usagi looked away then up after she noticed he was standing in front of her.
"Usako what are you saying?"
Usagi sighed then said, "My father changed my birth certificate and got me that ID that says I'm eighteen. So you were wrong last night."
"Damn he really doesn't want you back." Mamoru mumbled looking away and missing Usagi's eyes narrow and start to mist.
"Mamoru I think it would be if you left. As I said before as far as anyone is concerned I'm old enough and can be on my own. I'm going to get a job later…..I hope…I don't want you here feeling sorry for me." Usagi said then turned away.
Mamoru grabbed her arm and held it gently. Usagi looked at him.
"I want to be here to help."
"Oh so you "the perfect son" is feeling sorry and want to help? That's a laugh."
Mamoru let her arm go but didn't turn away.
"We will marry." He said again.
"No we won't."
Mamoru threw his arms up and turned away.
"Yes – We - Will." He said looking back at her.
Usagi let the breath she was holding out then put her hands on her hips.
"I'm - Not - Marrying - You."
"Yes you are. I won't let my child be born out of wedlock!" Mamoru said moving to stand in front of her with his own hands on his hips. He knew deep down he really wanted to tell her he loved her and that was the reason he wanted to marry her.
Usagi hadn't noticed he had said his child since her mind was focusing thinking he wanted to marry her only because she was pregnant.
"No! I don't care what you want! I won't marry because of a baby!"
"Usako….."
"Don't Usako me!"
Mamoru turned away first then looked back at her.
"You've changed."
"No shit Sherlock I've been growing up."
"I liked you better…."
"What during the summer? You want me like my mother….."
"No! Never! Don't you ever think that again! I want you to be yourself!" Mamoru said catching Usagi off guard.
He turned away then asked with his voice softer, "Why are you being so difficult?"
"Because you always were….It's not pleasant is it? Knowing you are right and….and the person you want won't go along with it. It must suck for you since you're not getting your way." Usagi asked with her voice softer.
Mamoru looked away even walked away from her.
"I thought you always wanted to be my wife. Aren't I your perfect man you want to call spouse?" Mamoru asked with a smile.
"That was before you used me over the summer. That was before you said what you did when I came to you for help."
"I told you sorry for the summer and I'll say sorry again and again for that day. I was stupid then and not thinking. I'm here now to help you. I'm not going anywhere again. I will be by your side always."
Usagi just looked at him.
Mamoru began shaking his head before he turned and walked away.
"You have classes you won't be here. Why are you really here Mamoru?" Usagi whispered knowing the question came from her heart that was caving in for him.
Mamoru didn't answer since he didn't hear her.
"Why this sudden change in you? I thought you wanted to finish school then work awhile before you married and had kids." Usagi asked louder so he would hear her.
Mamoru turned from the window and looked at her.
"I'm not going to finish college."
"What?" Usagi asked surprised even taking a step back.
Mamoru looked down and said with his voice clear but soft, "I dropped out."
"Well you better not blame me because of it." Usagi said wondering if he was playing.
"I'm not going to blame you over anything. I did it because I wanted to."
"But I thought all you ever wanted was to go to college, to the one your parents went to. You want to be their perfect son." Usagi said still not believing.
Mamoru gave a snort.
"Well guess what I changed my mind… Their perfect son knocked up a fifteen year old girl who had just turned that age. The girl he always knew he'd marry. Their perfect son is about to be a Daddy …..Their perfect son is tired of being perfect for everyone else but the one he will finally admit…"
Mamoru got silent and looked down not wanting to look in Usagi's eyes thinking he would see that she didn't believe him. He knew it was hard for her to believe hearing that.
"I guess over the summer my perfect plan changed. You made me remember my true self. Usagi, spending that time with you made me remember a promise I made years ago."
"A promise?"
"Yes…..I promised myself years ago that I would always be there for you after I noticed the way your father treated you and how your mother didn't care. I will not break that promise again."
Usagi looked down and said, "So you don't love me. You are just keeping a promise you made to yourself?"
Mamoru trudged over to her and grabbed her shoulders and held them gently. Usagi looked up into his eyes while her mind called out to look away and her heart sighed.
"Damn it Usako, Yes I love you! Yes it took time for me to admit it but I do love you for you! Notice I'm not saying it during love making! And if you don't love me anymore then fine!" Mamoru said before letting her go and walking to the door and opening it coming face to face with Motoki.
"Mamoru….." Usagi said taking a step to go to him but stopped and grabbed her stomach as a sharp pain shot up her left side and another in her back.
To be continued.
Before anyone ask again NO NO NO I won't let Usagi lose the baby. I'm not that mean!
