By the time I was laying down, Tohru had fallen asleep. It made me happy that when she was asleep she looked peaceful, like she didn't have a worry or care in the world. As I laid down next to her, I first pressed my lips to her forehead before laying down, wrapping my one arm around her body, my hand resting upon her not-yet-developed baby bump, rubbing it slowly. If anything, I wanted to comfort Tohru and the baby and this seemed to be the best way to do so.

Kyo's POV

Waking up had taken me a little longer than usual. Not because I didn't want to be awake and everything, but I was having one of the best dreams ever, it was when Tohru had finally had our baby, though I couldn't see the baby's face, it had made me happy. If only the sun wasn't so bright, I could have finished that dream. Oh well. In return to waking up I would be able to see Tohru, which I obviously and would never see as a bad thing. I went to reach, but felt nothing. At this, my eyes flew open. Where was Tohru?! I turned around to get up and look for her to only find that she had been in the room the entire time. "Good Morning Tohru." She smiled.

"Good Morning Kyo, sorry, I wanted to shower so I got up a little early." I shrugged and smiled, silly girl. There was no need to be sorry. Her hair had been wrapped in a towel, so I assumed she must have had taken a bath. I looked down her body, starting at her hair, but it wasn't until I saw her stomach that I gasped. She was just getting into her bra and underwear when I had seen it. It was so beautiful! Her baby bump was noticeable now and it made me the happiest man on the planet. I moved to sit on the edge of the bed, pulling her towards me. Without hesitation I pressed my lips to the baby bump. In response Tohru at first gasped, but then sighed happily. After placing that kiss there, I hugged her to me, placing my ear on her belly now. Even though I wasn't generally a very lovey-dovey person, Tohru had brought out the happy, emotional, paternal side of me that had never shown before, especially the paternal side because I wasn't to become a father then.

"Oh Tohru... This is... this is a good moment." I said as I pulled her into my lap, placing kisses on her forehead.

"Yes, yes it is." It was then that the male side of me had become a pervert shortly after, damn hormones. The thought of my baby being in her, our baby being in her, being something that we had created out of passionate love, it was overwhelming. But it wasn't the thought of the baby that had turned me on like this, it was the thought of the nights of passion we had had to create this being. My body reciprocated my thoughts as I felt an obvious erection coming on. Tohru gasped and blushed, looking at me, playfully suspicious. "No No Kyo." She said playfully, like an owner would say to a cat. "No treats until later." She was such a tease.

As Tohru dressed, she pulled on a blue dress with white leggings and a pair of her black flats with her hair pulled back into it's braid. I myself dressed into a pair of dress pants, a blue button up denim shirt and I also wore a pair of black dress shoes. When confronting Akito we always had to dress with class or it was like she wouldn't speak to you. Today we were to go to the main house and in front of our entire family we were to announce the pregnancy.

When we came downstairs, everyone was sitting there, all dressed up as there was rice porridge on the table in two bowls waiting for us. "Who made this?" Tohru asked.

"I did!" Momiji cheered happily as he gestured towards the bowls. After we sat down, we wasted no time is eating it, sighing happily. At least we had another good cook in the house. The tension and nervousness in the house was so thick that it could be cut by a steak knife. I didn't want to go see Akito, but one thing I knew was that Akito maybe not have an issue with this because it's adding onto the sohma family, but we never knew what would happen. Akito was pretty bipolar sometimes when it came to decisions.

I sighed and looked down into the bowl of rice porridge in my bowl. A warm, soft, and delicate hand laid itself upon my shoulder and I looked over, seeing Tohru, her eyes wide with concern. "Kyo, honey?" Awes rang quietly in the room, but I sighed again, why was I so obvious, well at least, why was I so obvious to her, well... she knew me, that's why.

"I'm scared... of how Akito is going to react to his, I mean, she didn't hesitate to hurt Hatori when he wanted to marry Kana." I looked down at the table, finding the grain in it to be very interesting. "I just don't want either of us getting hurt, ever. And if Akito does become angry, and if she hurt you, I could never, would never forgive myself." Tohru's hands cupped my face with her left hand, moving my eyesight to align with hers. Along with that action, she lifted her shirt slightly, taking my other hand, placing it against her baby bump. I blushed, feeling everyone's eyes on us.

"Kyo, we're in this together. I never want either of us to get hurt, but I think the more confident we present this to Akito, the less likely she will overreact. Not only that, but the whole family will be there... I have faith that this meeting will go well. I mean, your family values family, right?" I nodded. "Then I think this will go good." I smiled, she was so optimistic, it was adorable and admirable. It was then, that I felt a surge of warmth in my body and I had the instinct to rub her baby bump, smiling.

"Oh my, is... is Tohru showing?" Shigure cheered. I looked over to see that everyone was staring.

"Yes I am. I have been for a little bit, but it's just starting to really show." She said, placing both of her hands on her stomach. "Kyo and I are pretty excited, we were talking about how we were excited to meet our baby..." Shigure chuckled.

"Well, never knew Kyo could be so sensitive." Yuki whispered, running his hand through his gray hair. Yuki sat there, his eyes looking happy as they sat upon her stomach. Tohru looked around and smiled.

"Would you like to feel?" I wasn't looking forward to having them touch her stomach, but it was up to her.

"Sure!" Everyone flew around her and placed their hands on her stomach. Everyone awed and fawned over it. I was just as happy as they were, just wanted Shigure at least to stop touching her stomach, I know that he is quite the pervert, never know where his thoughts might go. As they all touched her stomach and cheered with her, My mind had gone right back to the dream that I had had the night before. I could see Tohru, laying back against my chest, holding her stomach, rubbing it lovingly as she pushed, giving birth to our child. Experiencing this while watching her in pain was horrible, but it was also a wonderful moment. It was a little while, but she had finally had the baby and once the baby was born, the most joyful sound filled the room, our baby crying tears of life. I couldn't see the baby's face, but I knew that the baby was beautiful.

I smiled, watching my family. Even though I was someone who sometimes found happiness to be annoying, but now, My mind was completely changed. Happiness was a most important thing to me. "Okay, time to go." Shigure said, looking at the clock. We all looked up, and indeed it was time to leave. Slowly, we all got up, going into the mudroom, slipping on our shoes. The Sohma house wasn't way too far, but it was still somewhat far. It wasn't until a few minutes later that we had slipped on our coats, heading there. As we walked, I joined by hand with Tohru's, helping her when we came across an icy part. It was January now and the ice wasn't bad, but I wanted to try and avoid her slipping.

Even with me helping her, we did slip, but thankfully I was behind her so I was able to catch her. There was even a point where I had stopped for a moment, grabbing a snowball and throwing it at Shigure. When he turned around, I stood there, my left hand behind my back as I held her hand with my right. It wasn't until we were at the gate that I had become nervous again, but I ignored it and continued as we all made our way towards the main Sohma meeting hall.

Everyone was there, Haru, Hatori, Kagura, Ayame, Kisa, Hiro, Ritsu, Isuzu, Kureno, Kazuma, Ren, Akira, and Akito. I sighed, letting out my worry, clearing my mind as Shigure gestured us to move to bow before Akito. I looked at Tohru and we both nodded at each other before moving towards her. Once we were both on the pillow seats before Akito, we bowed, greeting her. "Hello Akito." In unison, our voices came out in perfect harmony.

Akito turned towards us, caressing the sides of our faces, very gentle... completely unlike Akito. Maybe it was because we were being so respectful. "Hello you two, what brings you to me? What was it that you two had to say that had to get the whole family together?" We both looked to the floor for a moment, taking a deep breath. "I won't be angry, luckily for you two I'm in a very good mood today." Again we took a deep breath and we both looked up at the same time.

"Akito..." Tohru said. "We... Kyo and I have discovered that I am pregnant..." She said, quickly, getting through it as fast as possible. Akito's eyes widened and she looked to me for confirmation. I nodded my head.

"Yes, Tohru and I had gone to see Hatori because Tohru had been violently sick and when we were there he used two pregnancy tests to make sure and they were both positive.

"Hatori? Why didn't you tell me?"

"They are the ones to tell you Akito, you know that." Nodding she looked at Tohru, a stern expression on her face.

"Tohru Honda... I need to ask you something, and the answer to this question will determine what's your future in this family." Tohru nodded. "Are you going to keep it?" My eyes widened. That was a huge thing with out family. It was practically illegal to abort the baby, you were to have it. If the women aborted the baby, they were basically exiled.

"Oh of course. I couldn't ever give up this baby or any baby." Akito then suddenly had a smile break onto her face, her grin happy. I could tell that it had been the right answer.

"Kyo, Tohru, could we see the ultrasounds?" Ayame asked, practically begging. Tohru smiled, pulling them out of her purse, and putting them on the table as Tohru asked to be excused to the bathroom. One of the maids there had escorted her to the restroom while everyone looked at the pictures. "Oh I just can't wait! Can I make the outfits for the baby? Me and Mine?" I just shrugged, not really minding the idea, so long as he didn't try anything funny with the clothes.

"You rascal!" Haru said, giving me a noogie, making my head hurt. "You did it, finally getting the adult experience!" I smirked, playfully nudging his hand off of my head. I looked towards Akito, noticing that her and Shigure were exchanging looks... ones that held suspicious of romance, I shuddered, I didn't want to think about that. Shigure wouldn't do anything with her? Would he? No, no... besides he was in a relationship with his editor now. I closed my eyes, maybe I was just misreading their eye contact expressions.

"I can't believe it! Lucky Kyo and Tohru are gonna be parents... who would have thought that it would happen so soon, can't say I'm surprised though." I glared at him, but ignored it, chuckling it off.

"Brother that's rude." Yuki scorned but Ayame just shrugged.

"Oh well... I guess Mine and I can just have fun with creating outfits for the baby, and maybe... we'll have to work on less innocent attire." I wasn't sure where he was going with this and to be completely honest, I didn't want to know. Just then, Tohru arrived back from the bathroom and we all continued to celebrate, this had gone a lot better than I had thought. I sighed happily, watching Tohru interact with everyone, letting them touch her stomach, answering any questions about pregnancy and other things like that. Besides focusing on Tohru, I let my vision travel towards Yuki, who was holding Kagura, to be honest they seemed like a better couple, it made me happy, that Yuki was making her happy. Not only was he making her happy, but he was also helpful in making it so Kagura wouldn't kill me, instead, she smiled and said congratulations, going into details with Tohru on cool nursery ideas and things like that, I sat in, enjoying the peace, I just hoped that it would stay as good of a day as it had been today.
