This update didn't take long, right?
This chap doesn't contains much romance and their may be some errors (forgive me for that), so it can be a little boring and I was really clueless about what to write. Well, the outcome is below...
Made For Each Other:-
Chapter 24:- Confusion.
Hinata looked at Misaki, confusion written all over his face, "M-Mommy?" he asked.
Misaki noticed three of them, confusion written on every one of their faces. Only one thought came to her.
'Crap.'
Misaki's POV
God! How did I end up in this mess? I looked at their faces and confusion was written all over it. Maybe there's no use telling a lie then. I looked at the kids, maybe I should clear their confusion first.
"Kiddos, he is a friend." I stated and realization fell upon them. I noticed Hinata was looking at the kids. The five year olds took a glance at him, and then looked at me. "Mommy we will take an orange juice." Taichi said before the younger sibling spoke, "The vending machine is over beside the door. We will take it." She said and both siblings made their way over there; leaving the two adults alone.
I smiled at them, smart kids. Then I looked at Hinata and he looked somehow…. frustrated? I don't know. I told him to take the sit in front of me and he did so. Now, here it begins…
"Hi, what are you doing here?" I asked and all my efforts of hiding my nervousness were in vain as it was evident in my voice.
"I-I was h-here to eat but w-who were…?" he wasn't able to complete his sentence. I sighed.
"They are my kids." I stated calmly. After all, I was mentally preparing for this day all along.
"Yours?" I nodded.
He became silent. I stirred my coffee while looking down. "You didn't tell me?" his said, his voice sounding upset.
I looked up. "Actually, I met them only four months ago." He looked up, wide eyed, "That means…"
I nodded, "I am not their biological mother but I don't like to remember the fact."
"Sorry."
"It's okay." I looked at the kids, who were still standing in front of the machine. They were taking as long as possible.
"So, a single mother?" he asked. I shook my head.
"You're married then?" I slowly nodded and then looked at him. I could see that he forced himself to smile. "How long?" he asked. I felt like I have hurt him for somehow so, I answered truthfully, "One- month."
"You didn't change your name?"
I shook my head, "Actually, we got married in only one day. You see, the both of them liked me a lot and didn't have anyone who will take care of them. Things happened and they asked their father to marry while they asked me to be their mother. The little one was in hospital, and the doctor told us to hear everything she says. So after thinking about all the chances and placing conditions I decided to marry him." I told him in one breath. It feels good after telling someone your biggest secret.
Hinata looked like he was taking in everything I spoke. After a second or two, he opened his mouth, "So, who is this person?"
Bang! I was waiting for this question. What should I do? Think Misaki, think!
Argh… human brain is the most complicating thing ever. It never works in need!
"Usui Takumi Walker." I found myself murmuring.
"What?!" he literally screamed, catching everybody's attention. "Y-you m-mean… t-the-"
"Shhhh…." I said and then whispered, "Nobody knows, you have to keep it a secret."
He looked dumbstruck. It was quite funny to watch his expression. I could have laughed at his expression if the situation was different.
"I know you have questions and I will answer that but not now." I said quickly as I saw the kids were returning.
When they came in front of us I made some space for them to sit. "Say hi, guys." I told them.
"Hi… Nice to meet you" both of them said in unison, in a very cute manner.
"Hi…" Hinata said enthusiastically and stretched his hand. They looked at me and I nodded.
"You will keep it to yourself, right?" I asked again just to make sure.
He smiled, "You can believe in me." He spoke like a kid, who has just knew that earth is round.
I couldn't help but chuckle at his way of speaking. Okay is it me or he really blushed right now?
After a bit of chit-chat, Hinata stood up to leave and I made him swear that he will keep it a secret. After he left, we also stood up to leave and it felt good, like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
Time skip-
Normal POV…
Misaki looked at the sleeping face of them. It was unusual for them to sleep at that hour, perhaps they were very tired. She smiled after seeing them, it felt to be able to touch them again. As she lightly stroked their hair, she felt her phone was buzzing. 'Unknown number', she thought before answering the phone.
"Hello."
"Is it Misaki." Came a male voice and she knew that voice.
"Mr. Igarashi Tora?" she asked, not too sure.
"Cut that Mr. Call me Tora or something."
"Okay." She thought for a minute, "So, Igarashi-san how can I help you?"
"Straight to business, huh?" he chuckled. Suddenly, he spoke with seriousness in his voice, "Have you seen Chiyo?"
"N-No, I last saw her two days ago." She stuttered, hearing his serious voice, which was her first time.
"Good. Have you noticed something strange about her?"
"No, she seemed fine."
She heard him sigh. Then he spoke in one breath, "Okay the next time you see her, ask her if something is wrong? She is being strange for some days. I have asked her million times but she always says she is fine. But clearly she is not. You are her friend so I guess, she will tell you."
Her eyes widened, hearing his voice. One time, he was chuckling then the next moment he was dead serious. "Okay, don't worry I will ask her." She tried to assure him.
"Hmm, talk to you later then…"
"Okay."
And the line was cut. Misaki smiled to herself, 'These all people can panic over simple matters.' But before she could put down her phone, the doorbell startled her.
Satsuki gave a nod towards her and proceed to open the door. After a while a sad looking Chiyo came in. On the other hand, Misaki was shocked to see her; especially after watching her reaction which was a mixture of worry and frustration.
"Chiyo?" She asked while slowly getting up. Okay, now she understood why Tora was so worried for her.
"I need to talk with you." She stated calmly.
Misaki nodded as she went to their living room. For some reason, she was a little bit nervous.
"So, what did you want-" but Misaki couldn't get the chance to finish her statement before the other girl interrupted, "Don't you dare to laugh at my questions, okay?" Misaki nodded.
"Um… how should I say this?" she mumbled under her breath and then she inhaled a deep breath and exhaled to calm herself. Then, finally she opened her mouth, "How does it feel to be a mother?"
Misaki was a little taken aback by her question but answered truthfully, "I honestly can't describe the feeling to you. It's…it's a warm feeling. Like today, if I win a gold medal, I'll be happy but if tomorrow the kids come and show me any type of drawing or certificate or medal or anything; I'll be much happier. It's just that when I see them happy, I am happy too."
"Are Tai and Mei easy to handle?"
This question made brunette laugh, "Well, in some times like eating, they are a little difficult to handle but at other times they are very easy."
"Can I handle them?"
"Of course you can. They are very obedient most of the times but why asking all this?"
Chiyo looked at her before opening her mouth, "Misaki I'm pregnant."
She blinked, once, twice before everything clicked, "Wow! That's wonderful news!" she literally yelled.
"Misaki calm down." She hissed.
"Okay, I just got so excited, sorry."
Chiyo sighed, "I-I am s-so nervous. I feel like, I am not prepared."
"Look who came to ask whom." Misaki mumbled but enough for Chiyo to hear. When she looked at her confusedly, Misaki opened her mouth, "I mean, I was in that state a month ago, So…you know what I mean. But does Igarashi-san know?"
Chiyo slowly shook her head. "I don't know how to tell him. He never talked about starting about family. So, I couldn't tell him but then I thought about you as you are such a great mother so I came to you."
Misaki smiled, "You know, you will be a great mother and as for your husband he called me a moment ago."
"What?!"
"Yes and he was very worried about you. You should talk to him first." Misaki suggested.
"Can I ask you one last thing?"
"Of course."
"How can you be so cute?"
Misaki blushed. Chiyo laughed, "See, I told you! Aww…" She said while pinching her cheeks.
"Cheeyo, it ish hultin"
"Oh" She laughed as she let go of her. "So, now I am confident. I will talk to him." She said while getting up.
"Be careful." The brunette told the blonde.
"Don't talk like my mom." Chiyo whined.
"If you act like a child I will" Misaki said while walking behind her before they bumped into Satsuki.
"Girls' I was taking some juice for you guys." Satsuki said as she saw Chiyo was going back.
"Ahh… Satsuki-san I will any other time but if you insist-" She took the glass from the tray Satsuki was carrying and gulped it down, "I will take one." After that she went away to be stopped again. She again bumped into someone.
"Hey, what's with the hurry?" came a husky voice. She looked up, "Takumi, good to see you. Actually I came to talk with Misaki and I am done. So, see you later." She said, while walking away leaving the male dumbfounded.
It was Satsuki who broke the silence, "What just happened?"
"No idea." was his answer.
"She came to talk with Misaki-chan, so it should be okay." Satsuki said while she went towards the kitchen. After she was gone, Takumi approached his wife, "So, how are you?"
"What are you doing here?" She asked him back.
"Ouch! Misa-chan, can't you appreciate me a little. I came back because I missed you guys." He answered and Misaki could bet that she saw some kind dog behind him.
"You are skipping your work."
Takumi sighed, "There's no use then. By the way where are the kids?" he asked while making his way towards their bedroom.
"They are asleep."
"Asleep?"
"Yeah, tired maybe.
"So, anything happened while I was away?" Takumi asked as he pulled her close to him by her waist.
"A-Actually many thing happened."
"Like."
"Chiyo came."
"Yeah, why was she here."
"She wanted to ask something."
"And you helped. How nice you are!" he said as he kissed her on the cheek making her face burn.
"Y-You" She yelled.
"I know. Pervert, right?" he answered flashing his smile.
"Yes!"
He chuckled. "So, why was she here?" He asked changing the subject.
"She is pregnant." Misaki blurted out.
"What?!" his legs stopped. "Tora as a father, I can't imagine." And he burst into laughter.
"Hey, it's not good to laugh at someone." Misaki said while she was suppressing a laugh.
"Okay, I know. That's a good news, I should call him." He said while taking out his phone but she immediately stopped him, saying, "Wait! He doesn't know."
"I see, then anything else?" he asked causing her to look away.
"Well, I met Hinata." His eyes widen as he heard the name. That name alone is enough to bring out is possessiveness. "And?" he asked, getting a little impatient.
"He kind of caught me." She looked at him, "So, I told him about everything."
Takumi looked at her with confusion and she sighed. The day was still far from being over.
