The Expected News
Three weeks had passed since the honeymoon; things were going great with Tetsuya and Yuki. That is until very recently when Yuki had come home from work very fatigued to the point where Tetsuya did most of the housework which Yuki does and began to experience morning sickness. This alone had Tetsuya concern to the point where he had to contact a doctor requesting an appointment for Yuki to have a checkup. It was very fortunate for Tetsuya that when he made the appointment call that the doctor would see Yuki the following day.
"Sweetheart, do you have anything special going on tomorrow?" Tetsuya asked Yuki who woke up from a nap on the sofa.
"Not really, my love. Oh, man I feel nauseated again." Yuki stated as she started to have another trip towards the bathroom for another round of morning sickness.
Suddenly, Tetsuya heard a knock coming from the apartment door and he quickly opened the door. It was Shiznae who knocked the door and she had been showing up to the apartment mostly every day since Yuki's symptoms first started showing.
"Hello, Shiznae." Tetsuya stated with a concern look on his face.
"What's wrong, Tetsuya?" Shiznae asked out of concern seeing the expression her son-in-law gave her.
Before Tetsuya could answer Shiznae's question; a very loud vomit sound came from the bathroom. That immediately answered the question Shiznae had asked Tetsuya.
"*sighs* I had called the doctor to make an appointment for Yuki. They told me that tomorrow is the best option the office had after explaining about Yuki's situation. Shiznae, frankly this is worrying me a lot to the point where I am about to have a breakdown." Tetsuya said in a panicked state.
"Tetsuya, everything's going to be ok. I promise you that. How about I take Yuki to the appointment tomorrow?" Shiznae asked out of curiosity.
Unbeknownst to both Tetsuya and Shiznae, Yuki had overheard the entire conversation and made her way back to the sofa. Tetsuya was feeling a little upset over the fact that the entire situation has made him completely stressed out. Yuki with the considerate heart she has had to come up with a way to make Tetsuya not overly stressed out.
"Honey, I am fine with my mom taking me to the appointment tomorrow. I think that while I am at the appointment you should head over by Kushina and Minato's. Don't think I know the stress you have been going through since I started vomiting in the bathroom the past couple of weeks. My suggestion should help you feel relieved and besides once I get done with the appointment. I am planning on meeting you're over there anyways." Yuki stated with full concern written all over her face looking at Tetsuya.
That put a sigh of relief on Tetsuya's face to the point where there were barely any signs of being stressed out. Shiznae then left the apartment with the fact that she was going to tell Yosaki and Shia what is going on. Since Yosaki and Shia had been very concerned about the way Yuki was acting in the past couple of weeks to the point where Shiznae was their stress reliever. A few hours had passed, both Tetsuya and Yuki went to sleep for the night. However, Yuki barely got any sleep since she had to get up three times to make trips to the bathroom. This had affected Tetsuya's sleep pattern as well.
The following day, Shiznae went to the apartment so she could take Yuki to the doctor's appointment and Tetsuya got ready to follow through with Yuki's plan. Feeling very exhausted from the lack of sleep, Tetsuya did his best effort to leave the apartment for Minato and Kushina's house.
"Are you going to be alright, my love?" Yuki stated out of concern.
Tetsuya nodded his head yes and proceeded to give a yawn as he was making his way to the destination. Unbeknownst to Tetsuya, Shiznae had told Yosaki and Shia to go over to Minato and Kushina's house when she notifies them that her and Yuki are leaving the doctor's office.
"Ok I will see you later at Kushina and *yawns* Minato's house." Tetsuya said to Yuki before giving her a goodbye kiss.
While at Minato and Kushina's household, Kushina just got done serving her and Minato breakfast. Halfway through eating their meal, a loud knock came from their door and Kushina got up from the table to see who it was. In that moment, Kushina opened the door to see Tetsuya standing there all drowsy.
"Hi Sis and Minato. Mind if I…" Tetsuya stated before he passed out right on Kushina's arms.
"Are you alright, can you hear me little brother? Minato, can you help me drag Tetsuya onto the sofa and put a blanket on top of him." Kushina said in a worried state barely realizing that Tetsuya was falling deeply asleep in her arms.
Minato rushed to Kushina's aid and did exactly what she told him to do. In turn that caused Minato to feel worried about his best friend. It got to the point where Kushina had placed a cup of water on the table across from the sofa when Tetsuya wakes up. A half hour passed by and Tetsuya started to wake up noticing that Kushina and Minato were sitting in the living room.
"You're awake, little brother. Me and Minato were worried about you. I placed a glass of water in front of you in case if you were thirsty, you know." Kushina said once she noticed Tetsuya was awake.
"I'm sorry if I caused you guys any concern. It's that very recently I have not been getting much sleep since Yuki's fatigue and morning sickness had gotten out of control. She is at the doctor's office hopefully to find out what is wrong with her." Tetsuya said after taking a sip of water.
"How come you are not with her at the doctor's office, Tetsuya?" Minato asked out of curiosity.
"Yuki had requested for me to come here and her mother wanted to take her. *sighs*I have been under a lot of stress due to this situation and it is at the point where I would mentally breakdown. Besides Yuki said she was going to stop by here once her appointment was over with." Tetsuya responded with honesty in his voice.
Kushina realized that Yuki was being very considerate into having Tetsuya coming here and it lead her to telling Tetsuya that everything is going to be alright also not to have a mental breakdown. Noticing that Tetsuya's stomach was growling, Kushina was nice enough to fix Tetsuya a plate of the breakfast she originally made for her and Minato. Tetsuya thanked Kushina for fixing him breakfast and started to think about how Yuki was doing at the doctor's office.
Meanwhile, Yuki and Shiznae were waiting outside the doctor's office before they could be seen. This caused Shiznae to feel a little agitated because of the atmosphere of the waiting room was shallow. That is until a few minutes later when a nurse called Yuki to sit in one of examination rooms. Suddenly, the doctor had appeared not even ten minutes with Yuki being in the examination room and Shiznae was sitting there in concern.
"Hmm…I see that your chart states that you've been experiencing morning sickness and fatigue. Something is very suspicious about your symptoms, Yuki. Do you mind if we take a sample of your blood to figure out what is causing these symptoms?" The doctor said to Yuki after reading her chart.
Yuki reluctantly agreed to have the doctor do some lab work to figure out what is wrong with her. This caused Shiznae to ask the doctor if she can have a talk with him in private.
"Doctor, when will we find out the results of the blood work?" Shiznae asked out of curiosity.
"It takes about twenty minutes for the results to come in. You don't have to worry about waiting a very long time." The doctor responded to Shiznae's question.
That put a sigh of relief on Shiznae's face and the doctor got Yuki ready to take a sample of her blood. This had Shiznae wondering if the symptoms that the doctor mentioned to Yuki was something totally unexpected happening. Then the allotted time had elapsed for the results to come in which the doctor walked in with a calm look on his face before he can tell Yuki and Shiznae what the results state.
"Doctor, what are the results from the blood test?" Yuki said with concern on her face.
"Well based on the results I have looked at. Congratulations, Yuki you are going to have a baby. In other terms, you're pregnant. Before you leave, here is the number to the gynecologist that I highly recommend and set up an appointment with her." The doctor told the news in a honest fashion.
Yuki felt happy with the news while Shiznae was filled with pure joy. With the card containing the gynecologist's number, Yuki and Shiznae left the doctor's office which they notified Yosaki and Shia to head towards Minato and Kushina's house. Meanwhile at Minato and Kushina's house, Tetsuya had been helping Minato doing some of the house chores while Kushina was knitting away.
Suddenly, Kushina heard a knock on the front door and let in Yosaki and Shia upon opening the door. Tetsuya who had finished the household chores noticed his father-in-law and sister-in-law sitting in the living room.
"If you were wondering, Yuki and Shiznae left the doctor's office about five minutes ago. They are on their way here." Yosaki said once Tetsuya noticed him.
"Did they say anything else other than that?" Tetsuya asked with concern on his face.
Shia nodded her head no and this made Tetsuya more curious about the doctor's appointment. Minato, Kushina, Yosaki, and Shia told Tetsuya that what news he hears they ensured him that everything is going to be fine. A few minutes later, Yuki and Shiznae showed up at Minato and Kushina's house.
"What did the doctor have to say?" Yosaki asked once Yuki and Shiznae entered the living room.
Tetsuya noticed that Yuki was rubbing her hand all over her stomach. That action had Tetsuya remember the last time he had seen something like that. "The very last time I had seen somebody doing this was when Kushina found out she was pregnant with Naruto. Wait a minute…..." Tetsuya thought to himself with a very surprised look on his face.
Kushina caught on what Tetsuya was looking at specifically and looked at her brother with an unforgettable smile on his face.
"Yuki, does this mean what I think it is?" Tetsuya asked with a joyous look on his face.
"Yes, Tetsuya, I am going to be a mother to our child. In other terms, I'm pregnant." Yuki responded with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, tears of joy started to spread on Tetsuya's face and hugged Yuki while quietly uttering to her, "we did it sweetheart." Immediately, everyone was amazed to hear the news proceeding to congratulate both Tetsuya and Yuki. This baffled everyone into how come Tetsuya knew the news about Yuki's pregnancy.
"How did you know, Tetsuya?" Shia asked out of curiosity.
"*sighs* It's because I had personally witnessed this kind of pregnancy revealing once before. Isn't that right, Sis?" Tetsuya responded while looking straight at Kushina.
"Yes, I am surprised you remembered that day. At least your reaction was a lot different than Minato's." Kushina said while patting Tetsuya's shoulder.
"Anyways, thank you guys for the congratulations. It meant a lot to me and Yuki." Tetsuya expressed the thanks on his and Yuki's behalf.
That had changed Tetsuya and Yuki's time in the Pure Land for all of eternity including the people they knew. Now began the long preparations for Tetsuya and Yuki getting ready to become first time parents. In regards to Minato and Kushina's reaction, Tetsuya felt happy that they took the news of being an aunt and uncle to heart. This lead to Minato notifying all their friends back in the Pure Land Leaf Village about the news. Then the Fujibayashi sisters heard the news the following day at the bakery.
