Unexpected
A few months had gone by since Naomi's unpleasant lunch with her mother. Since then Naomi started an internship with Amaya's editing company, even though Hatori would tell her she didn't need to work. Naomi wanted to work, she wanted something to do while Hatori was at work.
Naomi was on her way to Amaya's house, while Hatori was returning home from a business trip. Hatori hummed as he waited for his beloved to answer his call, driving calmly as his phone was hooked up to his car like a Bluetooth.
"Hey, Hari" Naomi said over the phone while waiting for her cab to arrive.
"Hello.." he hummed. "How was your day? I'm on my way home."
"My days is alright, just heading over to Amaya's. Be safe coming home, we're supposed to get really bad rain today." She warned him. "I miss you."
"I miss you as well.." he humsed and looked up at the sky. "You are correct...there is a bit of a storm be safe yourself do you hear me?"
"Oh course" she chuckled. "What would like for dinner tonight?" She said and she got in the cab.
"Hmm.." he hummed softly and breathed in. "Is my beautiful girlfriend on the menu?" He chuckled softly. "Whatever you wish for my love."
She shook her head and blushed at her sweet Doctor's words. "Hmmm... well if your not home too late maybe we could go out or I could pick up some take out on my way back?"
"Actually my love...I have a better idea. How about I pick you up and we go out to dinner? We haven't had a date in quite some time.." he hummed as he grinned to himself being careful as he drove down the road.
"I would love that..." she smiled wishing he was already by her side.
"Wonderful.." he smiled to himself. Not telling her his real plan for the date. "I should be there within two hours...I love you Naomi."
"Okay, I will see you, I love you too Hatori." She smiled and hung up the phone. He smiled and hung up the phone. Not expecting what would happen at all that night. As Naomi hung up the phone she arrived at Amaya's. As she arrived Shigure walked outside and greeted her. "Well Hello Naomi. I forgot you were coming here today."
"Hey, yes... Amaya has been helping me with my internship." She smiled and she walked over to him.
Shigure smiled and nodded to her. "Right she did tell me that.." he walked in with her closing the door once she was in. "Amaya my darling! Naomi is here!"
"Coming!" Amaya said coming from the distance. Shigure and Amaya had a little play pen in the living room for Hiyori. Amaya made her way holding Hiyori who was wide awake.
"I was just finishing changing her." Amaya said and handed her to Shigure. Shigure grinned and held Hiyori bouncing her happily.
Amaya smiled and walked over to hug her friend. "I was wondering when you'd get here."
"Yeah, I am sorry I was running a little late, been really tired lately." She smiled and hugged her back.
Amaya walked with her friend to her couch and she sat down with her. "I was worried you would get stuck in traffic, Cause of the weather."
"The weather isn't so bad yet, but it's very windy out there." Naomi said as she pulled her laptop out of her bag.
"Yes but I did hear it's supposed to get worse." Amaya smiled and sat with her friend at her table. "Where's Hatori?" Shigure chimes in. "Yes where is Hari?"
"Hari had conference in Tohoku. He is on his way home today. I told him to be careful since the storm is supposed to be it's worse over there." Naomi said while logging into her laptop.
Amaya nodded and smiled. "Well Hari is a good driver I wouldn't worry too much."
"Yeah, I know. I just miss him..." She sighted "...anyways I had a few questions about this manuscript." Naomi said quickly trying the subject. Amaya and Naomi started to work on reviewing the manuscripts while Shigure spent the time entertaining Hiyori. About an hour had passed and the girls were done with the manuscript and just started to chat about life.
"So..any plans for tonight?" Amaya smiled at her.
"Hmm... yes. Hari said he would pick me up and we would go to dinner." Naomi said and packed up her laptop with a small smile on her face. "So Amaya how are you?"
"I'm well...just.." she sighed and held her lower abdomen and winced at the pain in her lower abdomen. "I don't miss having my period...it feels worse after having a baby."
"Oh... I am sorry. That sucks..." Naomi said and quickly pulled her phone and started to mess with it. "...hmmm now that you've mentioned." She froze as she looked at her phone screen. "Uh-oh..." she says and looks at Amaya.
Amaya rose a brow. "What's wrong?" She cocked her head confused looking at her friend
"My period is late..." Naomi said worriedly. "...I mean I am usually irregular but I didn't even notice..." she continued and began to panic.
Amaya blinked several times. "Well you know it could just be irregular...I mean you and him use condoms right?"
"Well, sometimes but there has been a couple of times... oh my... no..." Naomi began to panic "... shit..."
"Relax relax..." Amaya jumped up and breathed in. "You're gonna make yourself sick if you worry let's just go get you a test okay?"
"Yeah, you're right... but crap. I should've been more cautious." Naomi said bring her hand to her face and pulling her hair back.
"Relax it'll be okay? Trust me pregnancy scares happen all the time...Inari just had one the other day and then her period came the next morning.." Amaya tried to reassure her and calm her down
"Alright then, let's just go get one now." Naomi said and got up. Amaya nodded and went and kissed Shigures head and the baby's cheek informing him that they would be back as she walked outside with Naomi. "Let's go...don't stress okay?"
"Alright..." Naomi nodded and grew quieter. The afternoon got windier with the storm approaching. "Amaya... if I am, how do you think Hatori will feel about it?"
"Well.." Amaya smiled softly at her friend. "I think he would be nervous but happy...that's with any man. Except maybe Kyo who I'm convinced would pass out if Tohru got pregnant."
"Haha... that reminds me of the time Kyo came over because Tohru wasn't feeling well, and Hatori joked that Tohru was pregnant... Kyo literally passed out" Naomi laughed remembering the event.
Amaya giggled gently. "I believe it happens at some point with all the Sohma men...Yuki was very worried when he thought Inari might be...but after talking they realized it was cause Yuki didn't have real parental figures...so he's worried if he would do a good job or not."
"Yeah... I don't think anyone truly knows how they will do until it finally happens." Naomi said as they were approaching the convenience store.
"Yes..you are right.." Amaya walks through with her friend grabbing some snacks and grabbing a test for her friend. "Here..let's get these don't worry I got it okay?"
"Uhum" Naomi nodded and followed her friend. "I should probably grab something to drink right" Naomi joked a little.
"Yes. Get a big one." Amaya giggled and paid for walked home quietly, Naomi was staying to feel nervous about the whole situation. They made it home just before the rain started to pour. Amaya quickly opened the door and helped themselves into the house and closed the door. "Go drink your juice and then you can take the test."
"I don't think I can wait, I kinda wanna go now too." Naomi said and grabbed the bag and made her way to the bathroom.
Naomi took a deep breath and opened the packaging and prepared herself to pee on stick. Her heart was racing. She didn't know how to feel, does she want to be or not be pregnant. She was in love in Hatori and would love to spend her life with him and have a family, but was it too soon. How would he feel about this? Could she raise a child given her past? So many questions kept running through her head. Once she was done she cleaned up and waited for the results to show up. Her stomach dropping with every second that went by. Amaya waited outside of the bathroom looking at Naomi as she opened the door and she looked at the test and saw it wasn't ready yet and she then looked at her friend. "Breathe...no matter what it will be alright."
Naomi took a deep breath and started to shake her leg. The timer on her phone went off.
"I can't look at it..." Naomi said under her breath and gave Amaya the test.
Amaya breathed in and looked at the test for her friend and she held her friend's hand gently. "Naomi...you should look."
Naomi looked at the test and broke down crying and hugged Amaya. She was speechless.
"Shh Naomi...don't cry.." she hugged her friend and rubbed her back gently
She hugged her back and sobbed. "I am... pregnant." She smiled and cried.
Moments later Shigure came in to check what was all the commotion about, while holding Hiyori.
"Amaya dear, what's going on?" Shigure said scanning the scene and he saw the pregnancy test on Amaya's hand and his eyes went as wide as dinner plates
"Naomi's pregnant.." Amaya tells him gently immediately knowing if she didn't Shigure would worry it was her.
"This is glorious! Oh Amaya our little Hari is going to be a father!" He teared up and became dramatic as always. "Oh my little Hari is all grown up! I can't wait to go and tell Aya!"
"Not now Shigure..." Amaya said calming Shigure while she was still comforting Naomi. Shigure looked a bit confused and walked over to them and began to sooth Naomi.
"Look...it's a good thing trust me.." Amaya rubbed her shoulder
"Naomi, there's nothing for you to worry about. I am sure Hatori would be thrilled to find out he will be a father... specially with you. He loves you, Naomi. I don't think there's anyone in this world that couldn't make him as happy as you make him." Shigure hugged Naomi spoke softly to her.
Amaya nodded and rubbed her back. "Shigure is right...don't worry...and we will help you both."
Naomi nodded and wiped her eyes, then hugged the two of them.
"Thank you guys, I guess I will tell him tonight during our dinner." She smiled and looked at the test. She was still nervous, but she knew she had the support of her friends.
"I know he will be happy to find out Naomi. You don't have to worry at all." Shigure said and smiled comforting her.
"Come on. Let me help you get ready for dinner." Amaya smiled and took her friend's hand and took her to their room and started to curl her hair for her and her makeup. Naomi remained focus on her reflecting while Amaya curler her hair. She promised herself she would protect her child, not matter what. She would never want her child to go through what she did.
Amaya looked at her friend. "Don't worry...everything will be fine. Just stay positive."
"Thank you Amaya." Naomi nodded and continued to remain silent until Amaya was done with her hair.
Amaya smiled as she stood away from her friend once she was done. "You look great."
Naomi smiled and stood up and hugged Amaya.
"Thank you."
"Shigure, come look!" Amaya said but there was no response and Hiyori started to cry. Amaya and Naomi rushed out of the room to find Shigure standing by the kitchen with a shock on his face and Hiyori in her playpen crying.
"What's going on Shigure?" Amaya asked him and picking up Hiyori.
Shigure breathed in and turned to Naomi. "It's Hatori...Naomi his car hydroplaned in the rain he's been in a car accident and being rushed to the hospital."
"You're joking right?" Naomi nervously asked. Shigure looked at Amaya then back at Naomi and shook his head. Sadly he was far from joking and his face was quite serious.
"I am sorry." He said softly. Naomi felt the ground beneath her feet disappear and collapsed to the ground crying. Her mind immediately going to the worst especially considering everything at that moment. Shigure rushed to her side and helped her up to her feet.
"They're taking him to a nearby hospital, let's go." Shigure hugged Naomi. Amaya looked at Shigure and gestured for him to get Hiyori ready while she comforted Naomi.
"Just breathe Nao, I am sure Hatori is fine. Shigure is terrible at delivering news." Amaya spoke softly soothing her friend. Amaya walked Naomi to the couch and brought her some tea. Moments later Shigure came out with everything ready.
"Alright, let's go." Shigure said urgently, Naomi followed them but couldn't speak. Amaya looked at her friend and took her hand as Shigure helped them both get in the car with the baby and he started to drive there carefully cause of the rain. A slew of emotions and worries going through all of their minds. Amaya continued to hold her friend's hand tightly and she looked at Shigure worriedly and she could only imagine what they both were going through right now. The drive felt like an eternity. Every worse scenario possibly running through Naomi's head. Once they arrived at the hospital, Shigure dropped Amaya and Naomi off.
"I will park and I got the baby, you walk with you her." Shigure said. Amaya nodded and got out off the car. Amaya walked with her quickly going to the front desk of the emergency room and speaks to the nurse asking about Hatori
"Hello, how can I help you?" The nurse asked politely.
"Yes, could you tell us where's Hatori Sohma?" Amaya said.
"And you are?" The nurse responded looking at Amaya and Naomi.
"I am his girlfriend." Naomi responded.
Amaya rubbed her shoulder. "I'm his cousin in law. I'm Amaya Sohma. Please it's imperative we see him."
"Well the doctor is being moved to a room soon if you would like to wait here and then I'll take you to the room." The nurse told the duo and motioned for them to sit in one of the chairs.
"Thank you" they nodded and said down. Moments later Shigure walked in with Hiyori napping on her baby car seat. "Any word?" Shigure asked worry clear in his eyes on the well being of his closest cousin and friend. Naomi kept staring at her feet. No thought going through her mind...just memories of Hatori and her together and how scared she was that she may lose him.
"He will be moved to his room shortly the nurse said." Amaya answered quickly and hugged her friend in worry. Shigure sat next her and placed the car seat down and hugged Amaya. Amaya smiled gently at him but looked at her friend in worry. A string of emotions and worries and fears running through Naomi's mind. What if he got seriously injured? What if he would be in a coma? What if he was...no she didn't want to come to that conclusion in her mind. She held her stomach in fear.
"Sohma family? Right this way" said a nurse and led them towards the doctor who was carrying for Hatori.
"Hello I am doctor Hinaka. Dr Sohma is out of surgery and resting now but he is fine for visitors. Mild concussion, a broken leg and dislocated shoulder. Some cuts and bruises but he should be fine." Said the doctor as he walked everyone to Hatori's room.
"That's a relief to hear that he will be okay" said Amaya and looked at Naomi who softly nodded. Naomi was still scared, he could have been so much worse, she could have lost him.
"I would suggest one at a time in the room, due to the concussion he could be having some strong headaches so try to keep the noise to the minimal." Said the doctor before opening the door. They nodded and looked at Naomi.
"You should go in first." Said Shigure who looked at Amaya.
Amaya nodded agreeing with Shigure. Naomi opened the door, her heart sank and it came backup. Hatori was lying peacefully, his right leg with a cast, bandages on his forehead and brace on his left arm protecting his shoulder. Naomi rushed to his side crying softly.
Hatori winced and slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to her. "You're still beautiful like that...but I don't like seeing you cry..."
Naomi smiled and gently hugged him trying not to hurt him. "I love you." She said softly
He winced slightly and rubbed her back gently. "I love you as well...what happened.."
"You were in car accident, Hari" Naomi said softly while holding his hands.
"Ahh...yes.." he nodded his head slowly and winced in pain.
"Do you not remember what happened?" Naomi asking him feeling a little worried
"Bits and pieces.." he groaned and breathed in. "How totaled is the car.." he drawled not wanting to hear the answer.
"I don't know, Shigure was the one who got the call about it." Naomi said while holding on to his hand tightly.
"Hmm okay..." he groaned "... all I remember is I was driving and I was approaching a turn and the in front of me slammed on his breaks and I slowed down to not hit it and I lost control of the car, the strong rain didn't help... then i just remember hearing glass breaking. It's a bit hazy..." he groaned and held her hand back.
"Well...you're safe now..that's all that matters.." she sniffled. "I was so worried.."
"I am sorry, I worried you." He gently squeezed her hand.
"It's fine Hatori... you're okay now..." she smiled softly. Hatori gently brought his hand up to her face and ran his fingers down her hair.
"You are so beautiful Naomi..." he said softly while looking at her. "I am sorry we won't be able to go out to dinner tonight." He chuckled.
"That's completely fine, we can always go another time." She smiled and leaned in to kiss him.
"I love you so much." He whispered under his breath as their lips touched.
"I love you too." She responded gently.
"Naomi, would grab my coat over there for me please." Hatori said pointing to the bag where his clothing was placed.
"Sure..." Naomi nodded and walked over to the coat and brought it back to him. "... here you go." She said placing in front of him.
"Thank you..." He smirked. "... could you grab me some water? My cup is over there..." he said pointing towards the counter near the door.
"Of course." Naomi smiled and turned back around to grab the water. Hatori quickly looked through the pockets for a surprise he had for Naomi. He pulled a small box from one of the pockets and placed it under the blanket carefully so Naomi wouldn't see it.
"Here..." Naomi said and walked back to him placing the water on the tray next to his bed for him.
"Thank you..." Hatori grabbed the cup and took a few sips. "... Naomi..." he said softly as he grabbed her hand and pulled her a little closer.
"There's something I need to tell you..." he said and took a deep breath.
"...okay, what is it?" Naomi concernedly asked.
"On my drive back today, I was spending the entire time thinking about our dinner tonight and how I wanted it to be perfect, I was thinking about everything that I was planning for us, then once I lost control of the car and the car spun out of control into the railing... in that moment, all that was in my mind was your smile, your voice, your scent... I remember closing my eyes and wishing that I would get another chance to see it again... I kept thinking to myself if I make it out of this alive... I would do anything in my reach to keep you safe and see that beautiful smile again... I don't ever want to lose you or let anyone hurt you. I love you, Naomi." He says while holding her hand, while pulling the small box from under the blanket.
"...will you marry me, Naomi?" Hatori softly proposes opening the small box exposing the diamond ring he bought for his beloved.
"Yes... yes... oh my... yes" Naomi began to cry and hugged him.
"I love you Hatori." She said and kissed placed the ring on her smiled and kissed him again. A new wave of emotions flowing through her.
"There's something... I have to tell you as well..." Naomi said nervously. Hatori looked at her while still holding her hand.
"What is it, Naomi?" He asked while looking at her face for any reached down her small bag and pulled out the pregnancy test. She bit her lip and she brought it to his line of view.
Hatori grabbed it from her hand and started to inspect with a look of shock on his face before a gentle smile appeared.
"You're pregnant?" He smiled and took her hand rubbing the back of it gently with his thumb.
"Yes, I found out earlier today, I was gonna tell you tonight during dinner." Naomi nodded happily at seeing the smile on his face. Seeing no doubt hidden in his face. Hatori pulled her in and hugged her tightly, ignoring all the pain.
"Naomi , that's amazing." He said while hugging her. She hugged him back and stood by him and he hand his hand over her stomach. Naomi help his hand over her stomach and looked at him. He smiled weakly and rubbed her stomach gently. "I can't wait to meet our child my love..." he whispers while looking into her eyes.
"Me too..." she smiled softly.
"Hey Hatori" Amaya said softly and she walked in with Shigure.
"Hello Amaya...hello Shigure.." he looks up weakly as he holds Naomi to him
"How are you feeling?" Amaya asked as she walked to the end of the bed and Shigure stood behind her holding the baby.
"Better now.." Hatori smiled softly as he looked at the love of his life. "I'm going to be a father it seems...for once Shigure and I will be the same."
"Oh Hatori, when you say it like that!" Shigure began to talking.
Hatori chuckled. "I am kidding Shigure..."
Naomi and Amaya both laughed at their loved ones. Hatori hummed and kissed Naomi's cheek. "I suppose we will have to tear down my office then."
"Or we can just use the spare bedroom... we can talk more about it, when you're better." Naomi hummed back to him.
"Oh yeah, I am almost forgot to mention." Hatori looked at both Amaya and Shigure and held Naomi's hand.
"We are engaged as well." Hatori smiler prouder and looked in Naomi's eyes.
Naomi blushed slightly as Amaya immediately squealed. As did Inari who had come to check on Hatori with Yuki. "Oh my goodness!" Hatori signed and held his head. "Miss Inari...please.." Yuki wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "Inari do Relax...I know you are excited for them but think of Hatoris Head." Inari rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly "Oops...sorry Hari...but congrats you two..."
Inari hugged Naomi. "Thank you Inari." Naomi smiled.
"You're welcome! This is just so cute!" Inari gushed and Shigure agreed and they both started to ramble how adorable the couple was while Amaya just laughed and Yuki shook his head worried that his cousin was becoming an influence on his girlfriend
Hatori chuckled gently at them and held Naomi's head and yawned. "While it was nice to see you all...I do need some rest.."
Amaya grabber Shigure's hand pulling him away from Inari and towards the door.
"I am glad you're doing okay Hari, once again congrats!" She smiles softly.
"Thank you." Hatori said while holding Naomi's hand.
"Come on Shigure, lets go." Amaya said while turning around and heading out.
Hatori waited until they left to pull Naomi closer. "I'm going to rest love.." he laid back and winced from his pain
"It's alright, I will run back home and grab some necessities and come back to stay with you." Naomi said softly not wanting to leave his side.
"Alright my love...I'll be here.." he kissed her ever so gently.
