Chapter 13
It had been another 2 burden months for the Tezukas with an 8 month full pregnant Fuji. After those days without Fuji by his side, Tezuka requested his father to not send him on oversea jobs anymore. Although even if Tezuka didn't request it, Kuniharu knew it best to not let it happen twice.
Kuniharu still had his men searching for Daichi and the data on the mafia Daichi affiliated with. But since the past 2 months, nothing came up.
It was another usual weekday at the Tezuka estate. But today, Tezuka took a day off to take Fuji to the hospital for another check-up. The doctor requested that they should come once every week since now that Fuji could be due any days now. In addition with Fuji's miraculous pregnancy, they needed to be careful because who knows what's going to happen.
They only came to Doctor Hataro for Fuji's condition because he was a trusted friend to the Tezukas. Other doctors might report Fuji to a National Guinness Laboratory for research on a miracle of an abnormal male pregnancy. Fuji would become a test subject for the world to inspect and that wouldn't be good. Still now, no one besides Tezuka and Fuji's families, Doctor Hataro, and Reiko knew, not even their closet friends.
Fuji was wearing a light moss green dress that reached just below his knees, made by Ayana. His 5 inch length hair clipped up halfway with a pin fastened behind his head. No one would know Fuji's gender by just looking at his perfect feminine characteristics.
After Tezuka got out of the driver's seat, he walked over the other side and opened the shot-gun door for Fuji.
"Careful." Tezuka said as he helped Fuji and his big belly out the car.
Fuji wobbled a little once he stood up next to the car, but Tezuka was there to aid him. "Are the babies too heavy?" Tezuka asked concernedly.
Fuji chuckled lightly. "Mmm hm. I didn't expect it to be a twin." Fuji rubbed his stomach lovingly. Tezuka smiled at the motherly scene. "They eat too much."
"Do you want me to carry you?" Tezuka offered sweetly.
"It's okay." Fuji declined gently. "I can still walk, if you'd walk beside me."
A soft feature smeared across his face as he pulled Fuji into a hug and kissed Fuji's forehead. "I'll always walk by your side, no matter what."
Fuji nuzzled closer to Tezuka's chest smiling satisfactorily. "I love you."
"Hn. Let's go. Doctor Hataro's waiting." Tezuka said into Fuji's hair.
Fuji pulled apart and nodded.
Doctor Hataro was expectantly waiting for Fuji and Tezuka in his office. He greeted them warmly, much like a family member.
Doctor Hataro then led them to the ultrasound room to get Fuji's belly checked up. After Fuji got onto the bed, Doctor Hataro spread a clear gel that enhanced the picture from the sound wave of the ultrasound on Fuji's exposed belly.
At this, Fuji chuckled sensitively. "It's cold."
Doctor Hataro smiled at Fuji's childishness. "Just for a while." He picked up ultrasound transducer wand and hovered it over Fuji's belly. "Look here." He pointed to the screen that supposedly let them see their babies. "Their limbs and organs." He pointed to each part and said what they were from both babies. "This little fellow here is your girl, and here is your boy."
"Ne, Mitsu, aren't they cute?" Fuji's face lit up brightly as he looked interestingly and excitingly at the screen. He looked to Tezuka and smiled gladly. Tezuka nodded with a soft grunt.
"From what I see, your babies are both fine and healthy." Doctor Hataro said as he put the equipments aside, and then used a towel to wipe off the gel on Fuji's belly. "Let's go back to my office so we can discuss more about your laboring process."
Fuji nodded. Tezuka came over by Fuji's side to help him get off the bed.
The 3 sat on the resident sofas in Doctor Hataro's office. Fuji and Tezuka sat across him. He took out a green folder's contents and spread them on the coffee table in between them. "I've been a doctor for more than half of my life, but I've never counter a case like yours." He said to Fuji who smiled back sheepishly.
"I know."
"Usually, babies are delivered from the vagina of a female's body, straight from the uterus." Doctor Hataro stopped to acknowledge their nod as understanding. "That's one way called laboring. Another is through Caesarian surgery, which is a method of laparotomy. This way, the babies are lifted out from the uterus."
Tezuka looked at Fuji's paling face. "Does that mean he's going through Caesarian surgery?" Tezuka asked with concern, squeezing Fuji's hand in his.
"Most likely, yes. But since this is a miracle we're talking about, it might also be a miracle for Fuji-kun to give birth naturally. Until that day comes, I can't say for sure how this is going to work." His eyes diverted from Tezuka to Fuji. "However, you should prepare your spirit for the surgical procedure."
Fuji felt his hand was squeezed tighter, knowing Tezuka's anxiousness was kicked in again. He turned his head to look at Tezuka's face and gave him an assuring smile, with his eyes wide opened to show that he meant it.
"If that happens, there'll be no health risk or problem, correct?" Tezuka inquired.
"Like I said, I don't know." Doctor Hataro heaved a long sigh before continuing. "Though, I can tell you the possibilities regarding Fuji-kun's current health condition."
"What do you mean by that?" Tezuka asked impatiently.
"This is your health check-up record from last visit." Doctor Hataro shuffled through the pages, looking for the right page. "Ah, here." He handed the paper to Tezuka, who took it assertively and glanced over it. Fuji leaned in to look at his health record.
An uncomforting expression swept across Fuji's face as his eyes diverted from the paper to Doctor Hataro. "Low blood pressure?" He asked uncertainly.
"It's common for your blood pressure to be low during pregnancy." Doctor Hataro replied calmly. He grinned inwardly at Tezuka's prudent behavior. "Relax, I didn't say there's anything absolutely wrong, just a few concerns." He grinned at the death glare Tezuka threw at him; of course, Tezuka didn't mean any of it. It was just that Fuji was…involved.
The crease on his forehead disappeared when he heard Fuji giggled beside him. Tezuka made an annoyed disgruntle, but was ignored by the giggling lad.
After the unusually awkward appointment, the couple went safely back to their home.
After eating lunch with Ayana, both retreated back to their room. Fuji was lying on their bed reading a book about pregnancy that Doctor Hataro gave them from the morning visit while Tezuka sat on the bed beside Fuji with a laptop on his lap.
It was quiet as both were busy with their own interests, only typing noises and sometimes creaks from the bed could be heard.
Tezuka was checking his email when an email crossed his eyes: it was from Oishi, their once Mother Hen from middle school. Tezuka looked over to Fuji who was deemed very concentrated into the book. Tezuka looked back at the screen and clicked on the mail.
When Fuji no longer hears the typing noise from Tezuka, he inquired while still reading. "What are you reading?"
"An email from Oishi." Tezuka replied in a nonchalant voice, like it was nothing important.
"Oh? I haven't heard from him for some years. You both still keep in touch?" Fuji closed the book and placed it on the table beside the bed. He pushed himself up to sit.
"Hn?" Tezuka looked over to Fuji and helped the bloated lad to sit beside him. "Oh that. No, we haven't talked." Tezuka didn't elaborate into the reason why; he never did anyways.
"Ahh. Then, what does it say?" Fuji signaled over to the laptop. He leaned on Tezuka's shoulder to look at the screen clearly. Tezuka instinctively wrapped his right arm over Fuji's shoulders and pulled him closer.
Tezuka used his left hand to move the cursor across the screen to pull up the message for Fuji to read.
Fuji's eyes widened as he read the last part. "Wow, that's great!" Fuji said happily as he looked up at Tezuka's smiling face. "I've been wanting to see everyone, sensei too. But, how come it was only addressed to you?" Fuji's smile was replaced by a slight frown.
"Of course it was addressed only to me. It's my email." Tezuka said. He tilted Fuji's face up to plant a kiss on Fuji's pink lips.
"Oh right." Fuji's smile came back when Tezuka pulled apart.
"Now, let's check yours."
"Okay." Fuji chirped.
Tezuka turned his laptop toward Fuji for the shorter lad to log in his email. After getting in Fuji went to his mail box to see the same message sent by Oishi on the same date. His spirit rose.
"How could they forget our beloved tensai?" Tezuka teased in his seductively deep tone as he gathered Fuji in his arms, giving the tensai light kisses on his cheeks. Fuji chuckled ticklish when Tezuka's lips reached his neck.
"They wouldn't dare." Fuji made sure he said that with a little menacing touch before reaching up to link his arms around Tezuka's neck and pull down to connect their lips together.
After the fervent kissing session, Fuji got up from the bed to go into their bathroom. Tezuka looked back at the email with a contemplating look on his face. The invitation to the reunion party was a week away, not in a month or two.
"Syusuke, I don't think it's wise for you to come." Tezuka said when Fuji came back.
"Why not?" Fuji pouted once he got back on the bed. "Is it because of this?" He pointed to his belly.
"Hn. You're due any day now."
"But the doctor said a month." Fuji protested.
"It was a guess." Tezuka said, not wavering to the cute pout Fuji was giving him.
"Please, Mitsu. I really want to meet up with everyone. I haven't seen or talk to them for a long, long time." Fuji pulled on Tezuka's arm, but Tezuka stubbornly kept his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Besides, what could happen?"
Tezuka flashed a glare over to Fuji. "A lot."
"But there's nothing to worry about since you're going to be by my side." Fuji flickered his long lashes seductively and cutely.
Tezuka sighed. He couldn't stand a chance against Fuji. "Okay. Fine. But, you're going to have to listen to me." He pulled Fuji into a hug.
"Of course, don't I always?" Fuji said into Tezuka's chest. Tezuka only grunted.
"Say, no one knows we're together and you're pregnant right?" Tezuka released the hug and lie Fuji down.
"I don't think so." Fuji thought for a while, before a scheming smile broke across his face. "Saa…wouldn't it be fun to see their reaction?" His eyes glittered with excitement.
Tezuka just loved the way Fuji lived up to his term as a Sadist, only because Fuji never did anything sadistic to him. Angelic was a better term for Tezuka.
"It would be. Now, take a nap." Tezuka pulled the blanket over Fuji.
"Aren't you going to nap with me?" Fuji held onto Tezuka's arm as he was about to get up.
"I have documents to work on." Tezuka replied.
"But I don't want to nap alone."
Tezuka sighed. What Fuji wants, Fuji gets. "Okay, but only--"
Fuji cut him off with a victorious smile. "I know. When I fall asleep, then you can leave."
Fuji went straight to dream land a couple of minutes later. It was probably the effect of pregnancy. Quietly, Tezuka got off the bed and took his laptop with him to downstairs.
