Chapter 11
Moving Day
Disclaimer- I own nothing!
Yuri woke up the next morning cradled in Viktor's arms. Last night had been amazing and worth that fact that he was now naked under the covers. He really couldn't stand being naked, especially in front of Viktor. He never knew why, it wasn't like he was out of shape or anything, he just worried Viktor wouldn't like what he would see. Though, that fear seemed rather stupid with how they were now. Feeling his stomach start to flip he tried to carefully move away without disturbing the other before he ran to the bathroom. Soon, hopefully this would end. Staying where he was for a few minutes he knew by now that moving would be stupid. It was never over this quick. Feeling his body start to shake he wished he had a chance to at least grab pants before he started getting sick. Jumping a bit, he saw something come around his body before he saw Viktor's shadow over him.
"Morning Viktor."
"Morning."
"Thank you." Putting his arms through the bathrobe he was given he tied it loosely around his body.
"Are you alright? You are shaking."
"I don't have anything on, plus this happens when my stomach is acting up."
"Sorry." Watching Viktor sit against the tub they stayed silent, Yuri was expecting his body to revolt against him again soon.
Grabbing Viktor's hand as he felt it was safe to leave the bathroom he brought them back to bed. Putting Viktor's arms around him he wanted them to snuggle a bit longer.
"Everything alright Yuri? I don't mind this but you seem off today."
"I'm not feeling good. Outside of the morning sickness I just don't feel right. I want to lie down and rest."
"Okay. Then we will rest." Being kissed on his forehead Yuri shut his eyes against Viktor's chest and wished he could explain how he felt. It scared him a little knowing they weren't home and he didn't really know about what to expect with this whole pregnancy thing. Maybe he should really start looking into it once they were back home. Rolling over a bit he tried to get comfortable as he started feeling a twinge of pain periodically throughout his body and back. Sitting up he debated just telling Viktor or just doing his own research. The last thing he wanted to do was wait and see if how things played out if there was something wrong.
"Do you have your phone near you?" He would have just used his own but he wasn't sure where it ended up after last night.
"Is something wrong? Don't leave me in the dark Yuri."
"I just don't feel right like I said. Before I panic though I just want to see if I can find information and try to figure it out on my own." Watching Viktor look around the bed they both saw it on the nightstand on the side of the bed Viktor had been sleeping on the past two nights. Since Yuri was closer he slid over to grab it only to stop as he felt a little ping again.
"Yuri? Maybe I should just take you to a doctor."
"I'm fine." Reassuring Viktor he reassured himself as well as he grabbed the phone and handed it to Viktor so he could unlock it. Seeing the look he was being given by the other he smiled and snuggled back into his side.
"Okay, what am I looking up?"
"Just look up pregnancy symptoms and side effects." Watching Viktor do as he was told he tried to read the screen to realize it was all in Russian. He couldn't say anything his phone was set to Japanese.
"How many weeks are you?"
"Nine, almost ten." Watching him click a few more links he wished he could read what the page was saying, it looked like it would be helpful useful information. Realizing Viktor had turned his phone so he could read it better Yuri just looked at him. "I can't read that."
"Oh right, sorry." Translating for him Yuri realized he was fine. What he was feeling was just a symptom. Kissing Viktor's cheek to thank him he laid back down to rest.
"Are you going to be okay? You never told me what is wrong."
"I'm fine. But, I also learned that my being super tired is normal as well so I feel better about that too."
"I didn't know you've been that tired."
"I didn't tell you. I tried to not let it get to me."
"Yuri. You need to take care of yourself. I don't want you pushing yourself to do things with me if you aren't up to it. Just tell me no."
"I like staying active though. Sleeping all day doesn't make me happy." It reminded him of when he was depressed and he didn't want to be reminded of those days. He was happy and in love and planning a future with someone amazing, he didn't want to look back at those days, especially when they weren't that long ago.
"Yea but still. I don't want you to overdue do it. And, I'm not just saying this because I don't want you harming the baby I'm saying this because I really care about you and I want to make sure you are always okay."
Opening his eyes he looked back at Viktor and the concern he was showing for him. The whole thing really was sweet.
"I promise you I'm fine. I won't do anything that you consider overdoing it. Alright?"
"I love you."
"Love you too." Closing his eyes again he felt Viktor lay down beside him for a little bit.
Sitting up in bed Yuri was feeling a little better. Napping helped some of the issues he was having. Looking at the time he realized they were missing the Grand Prix, Viktor didn't seem to mind though as he was watching him with a smile on his face. At least they weren't missing their friends.
"You look happy."
"I am happy. While you were napping I got a very good phone call."
"Oh?"
"When we get back we have a lot of work to do. We own a place."
At those words Yuri's body got excited and he moved to hug Viktor. "Really? We got approved?"
"The landlord called me and told me to give him a call once we back in the country. We can sign the last of the paperwork and get the keys."
"We…we actually have a place." Feeling himself get teary eyed he buried his face in Viktor's chest. He was so happy. They currently had a roof over their heads but he was happy to know their child had a place to grow up in, a place where the three of them could be a family that didn't rely so heavily on his family.
Sunday they sat back in the arena watching the men's free skate. They were able to wish their friends good luck before they took their seats which was nice. Yuri wanted them never to forget that having their friendship meant a lot to him, even Yurios; who still looked at him like he was the worst person in the world. Shrugging it off he didn't let anything get to him because knowing tomorrow they were flying back home and Tuesday they were getting the keys to their apartment Yuri didn't want to frown. After everything, the competition and the exhibition they both met up with the others to celebrate. Yurio gloating was to be expected though having it shoved down his throat was making Yuri agitated. He got that he couldn't compete but this wasn't something he was planning on. His goal since Viktor's arrival was to win the gold, not to get pregnant no matter how much Yurio wanted to deny that understanding. In fact, while he was coming to terms with everything and looking more forward to becoming a parent he still had no desire to gain that much weight. It was bad enough he felt his favorite pair of pants getting tighter though he knew he wasn't showing.
Coming home Yuri knew he had a lot to do since they got the keys to their apartment but right now all he wanted to do was sleep. Cuddling Makkachin in Viktor's bed he felt Viktor cuddle them too. Seemed a nap was being called for. This is what happens when Makkachin gets all excited that they came home. Viktor had been so cute with him when they got home, getting on the floor and letting him kiss him.
Once they were alive Viktor went downstairs to get food for them while Yuri figured out where to start in Viktor's room. To save money and to help get the apartment together they were packing up Viktor's room first. They needed his bed, they were using the loveseat and they were taking the dresser that was in here out. With Yuri's room they were going to take the little dresser he had. They knew they needed furniture for the apartment but Yuri was hesitate to spend more of Viktor's money and he was told to save his own for the nursery. Maybe they should talk about that, he really didn't want Viktor to go broke over them moving and with neither of them skating it wasn't like they had an income. Even if Viktor started coaching like Yuuko hoped it wouldn't be nearly what he had made before. Seeing him come back into the room he figured it would be best to just ask. This conversation had to happen eventually anyway. Watching Viktor just start to laugh as he was hugged Yuri wanted to know what he missed.
"Please don't worry about money Yuri. While I am not the world's richest man I am quite well off. I promise you, if I buy all the apartment furniture we still won't starve."
"Okay, I just feel bad. I mean I'm not poor, my family isn't poor either but I know we aren't on the same level. And neither of us are currently working, skating or otherwise."
"I'll let you in on a little secret. When my dad passed away my mother gifted me with his money, well most of it. It was put in a savings account for me that I couldn't touch until I was older. Then I earned my own income with skating and between winning, photo shoots, magazine shoots, all that good stuff, plus the Olympics win didn't exactly hurt so…if you want I can just show you what I am working with."
"No. I don't need to see what you have. I just don't want you to feel like I am using you, you know this."
"I promise you Yuri you aren't using me. I know it's a foreign concept to you but I want to take care of you, of both of you."
Smiling at each other Yuri knew his face was red. Whenever Viktor talked like this he got embarrassed. The gesture just got to him, no one ever wanted to take care of him before.
Getting most of Viktor's room packed they left some clothes out for him and moved to Yuri's room. They had forgotten that they were moving his desk too since the apartment wouldn't have and it was stupid to buy another one. Watching Viktor go under the desk to take it apart Yuri told him he could have done it. There was no reason for him not to but Viktor refused to let him. Watching Viktor scream as half the desk fell on him now he understood why he was against it. Quickly taking it off him Yuri moved the pieces to his bed to get them out of the way.
"Are you alright? Why didn't you tell me it was going to collapse?"
"I forgot I undid the other half. I'm fine though, just my pride was damaged." Laughing, Viktor moved over to Yuri and brought him close. "What do you say we move this stuff over so you and I can sleep at our new place tonight?"
Nodding, Yuri really liked that idea a lot. Both were really excited to move in already and wished they knew they knew they got the apartment before they went to Barcelona so they could have had this all packed. Grabbing some boxes Yuri was only allowed to take the really light ones, Viktor had put his foot down on that rule. It was a strange concept at first because he didn't look pregnant or even really feel it, today had been a really good day for that but he wasn't going to argue with Viktor over it. Especially when it was over him caring.
Sitting on the floor with Makkachin Yuri watched Viktor put his bed back together. Why didn't they hire someone to do this? Moving wasn't a huge struggle for them but it was enough to make things a hassle. They had a lot of boxes and big furniture and they had hired someone to move what they had packed but now they had to put it all together. He could have paid to get someone he even told Viktor this but he seemed happy to do it all himself. Handing Viktor a screwdriver he hoped nothing fell on him again. Holding the rail for him he tried to be as helpful as possible. Watching Viktor slide back a few minutes later he seemed proud of himself.
"That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. First time putting a bed together and I think I did well." Being asked to step aside Yuri watched as Viktor pushed his mattress onto the frame. Not putting sheets on it yet he moved onto the bed and walked around to make sure it wasn't going to collapse underneath him. "What do you think Yuri? I do good?"
"I'm so proud." Helping Viktor down, they made the bed and unpacked their clothes. Finishing up Viktor ordered them food seeing Yuri yawning and both of them being quite hungry.
"Tomorrow we will go get things for the kitchen so we can cook and we will try to finish up the living room." Right now the only thing in the living room was the loveseat so that definitely needed something.
"We can do that Viktor, I think we got everything from my parent's house right?"
"I think so. I mean the only things I had were in my room and since that was all brought over I don't think there is anything else."
"I don't think I had anything else there but if not I can just grab it. Plus side to us being so close." They were only a fifteen minute walk from the house so that nice and what he wanted. His mother really didn't want them going far mainly knowing he was going to have a baby and he was her baby. This was her first grandchild and she was not letting him forget it. He figured it also helped that she loved Viktor and was so excited they had gotten together, never mind the fact that they hadn't been together long.
Joining Viktor on the couch they ate dinner and were being stared at by Makkachin who was hoping they would give him something. Yuri would never give him human food not knowing what he liked or how Viktor felt about it but watching him throw some at Makkachin he guessed he didn't care too much.
"I thought Vicchan was spoiled. Makkachjn makes him look deprived."
"I doubt that. I just love taking care of my boy. He has always been there for me so I have to return the favor. Plus, look at that face how can you deny it." Seeing he was being stared at with his tongue out Yuri laughed, he was too cute.
"Makkachin a like a child to you isn't he?"
"Hmm? You know, I never thought about it that way but I guess so. Well, I guess that means I'll make a half decent father since he doesn't hate me yet."
"I bet you'll make an amazing father." Snuggling up against Viktor Yuri fed Makkachin the rest of his dinner since there wasn't much left. He really had to say, he didn't feel as scared as he did before knowing Viktor was there for him, that this was their child. Viktor was truly an amazing, loving man and knowing they were in this together took some of that fear away.
Being stopped from entering their apartment Yuri couldn't figure out why they had to wait.
"I saw this on TV the other day and I know it's supposed to be done on the very first entrance but our hands were full."
Before he could ask what Viktor was talking about Yuri was lifted into his arms.
"Put me down!" Keeping his arms around Viktor's neck he did not like this at all. He hated being lifted. Especially right now when he felt his pants getting tighter every day.
"Oh relax, I won't drop you and this only takes a second." Being walked through the front door Yuri was gently put down on the other side. "See that wasn't so bad. And welcome home." Receiving a kiss that made his heart skip beats Yuri guessed it wasn't that bad after all. The idea was really sweet.
After getting all moved in Yuri realized he loved living in his own place. This was different from when he lived in Detroit, something mature, something exciting. Knowing they were having Yuuko and her family over for dinner Yuri stopped messing with his pants and looked at himself in the mirror. He didn't see any difference in himself so then why did all his pants refuse to work with him? There was no way he was wearing sweats, not only was he not at that point yet but they were having company he wanted to look decent. Coming from the bedroom he saw Viktor relaxing with Makkachin on the loveseat while he watched TV. Standing in front of him he saw Viktor look up.
"Is everything okay?"
"No. I'm having an issue and I need your help."
"Okay." Taking Viktor's hand he had him stand up and stop.
"Do I look any different to you?"
"Different how?"
Lifting his shirt just a bit he showed the other the fact that his pants would barely button.
"Do I look like I'm showing? I don't see anything but all my pants are starting to get really tight on me, or like this they just don't fit."
"You should have told me this sooner we could have gotten you something. But, no. I don't see any change."
Being pulled closer, Yuri felt Viktor run his hands around his waist and stomach.
"Sorry, I don't feel or see anything but we both knew this was coming."
"I know, I just thought I'd have a little more time. Not only am I not ready for this I've also been too sick."
"It's not a weight gain Yuri. Your body is just adjusting to being pregnant"
Moving into Viktor's arms Yuri pressed his face against the others chest. He knew Viktor was right, they had finally gotten books on what to expect but that didn't mean it was making things any easier.
"I really hoped I would be over the morning sickness and done with the first twelve weeks before I started worrying about this. I only wanted to deal with one thing at a time."
"Sorry. I don't think it really works like that at all, and you only have what another half of a week or something until then? Do you have anything you can put on right now, do you want to try something of mine, or do you want me to run out and find you something?"
"I'll find something that I own. I guess tomorrow I will go out and buy things that will work for me." Sighing, he let Viktor go and moved back to the bedroom to try and find something he could fit in. Yuuko and the others would be here soon. Hearing their bedroom door open he felt Viktor's arms move around his body.
"I'm sorry Yuri." Being kissed on his cheek Yuri felt bad that Viktor felt bad over this. He didn't mean to do that to him.
"This will all be worth it right? They will love me?"
"Of course they will! Yuri, hearing you say that, why wouldn't our child love you? You are amazing. I know you are dealing with a lot right now but I know with all my being they will love you as much as I do and you'll be so amazing parents everywhere will get jealous."
"Thanks Viktor." Turning around in his arms to kiss him Yuri felt a little better hearing that. He could handle whatever was going to be thrown at him so long as their child loved him. They didn't have to really show it, he just wanted to know he wouldn't be a terrible parent. Breaking away after he searched for other pants and was happy he finally found something. They weren't the best in the world but they would work for tonight. Soon after, Yuuko arrived with her husband and kids and the two of them showed them around a bit before they settled down to eat.
