A few weeks had passed since the family reunion, and Kyoko was now six weeks pregnant. She and Makoto were in class, but they weren't going to be in class for the whole day. The couple had their first ultrasound screening during lunch.
The other members of the class began to notice the slight changes in Kyoko. But none of them dared to ask Kyoko why she had appeared to put on weight.
As the bell rang to signal lunchtime, Makoto and Kyoko gathered their things and walked out of the room. A few seconds later, the teacher followed suit.
"Hmm, those two were keen to get out of class," Celestia said.
"I know right," Leon replied. "Those two have been acting odd."
"Odd doesn't cut it," Taka said. "First, the two were sick at different weeks. Now it seems Kyoko has put on weight, and Makoto has stuck very close to her."
"Maybe something bad has happened?" Chihiro said. "And Kirigiri has been struggling to cope, and it has led her to eat a lot more."
"Ok, that would explain her gaining weight," Aoi said. "But why would Naegi be close to her?"
"Duh!" Junko said, bored. "It's because Naegi is the only one that Kirigiri trusts, plus the two like each other, so it's easy for Naegi to be as close as he is."
Sayaka gathered her stuff and put it into her bag. Then she left the class with Byakuya following her.
"Maizono," Byakuya said.
Sayaka paused, and she turned around, but she soon rolled her eyes. "Togami, what do you want?"
"You know what I want," he replied calmly. "The truth, what is going between Naegi and Kirigiri."
Before Sayaka got a chance to answer, her phone began to ring. She took it out of her bag and looked at the screen. She sighed in anger as she answered the call. "Hello, you better have a good reason to be calling me!"
Byakuya watched on as he saw Sayaka's facial expression turn very dark.
"What!" Sayaka said, alarmed as she turned away from Byakuya. "I give you one simple job, and you failed to do that! You know what? That is the last straw. You're sacked. Why on earth did I hire you as my PA when you can't do the basic tasks! Delete this number or else!"
Sayaka ended the call. She let out a massive sigh. "Honestly, you can't get the staff these days. Now Togami, you were asking?" She turned around to see Byakuya had vanished.
30 minutes later
Makoto and Kyoko were sitting in the backseat of Fuhito's car. The young couple was nervous as this would be the first time they would get to see their child.
"Kyoko, let me know when you two are done, I expect the car park will full as usual, so I will take this time to do a bit of shopping," Fuhito said.
"Well, do grandfather," Kyoko said as she looked at the window.
"I'm glad we changed into normal clothing," Makoto said.
Kyoko turned her head to look at Makoto. "Why? People will still look at us because we are young."
"I know, but I think it would cause more of a scene if we did go to the hospital in our school uniform."
"Hmm, I suppose you have a point there. If people do look or talk about us, it's best if we ignored them."
"I know," Makoto sighed. "I can't wait to see my child." Makoto's face grew a small smile.
"I can't wait as well," Kyoko returned the smile.
"So who is getting the first night shift when the child is born?" Fuhito asked.
"I will, sir," Makoto replied. "I don't think I will be able to sleep knowing our child is with us."
"Naegi, I know you want to be a good father, but having rest is important. Trust me, after two weeks. You will want one night away from the baby. I've been there, Jin has been there, and I have little doubt your father was the same. It's also important to ensure you and Kyoko have a night to yourselves."
"Is that you offering to look after the baby for a night, grandfather?" Kyoko asked.
"Yes," Fuhito replied. "Ah, this takes me back, driving to the hospital for an ultrasound. I did this over 40 years ago when your grandmother was expecting your father. She would have been overjoyed in becoming a great grandmother."
"Ha, there might be a chance you will become a great great grandfather," Kyoko replied.
"Yes, sure," Fuhito chuckled.
A few minutes later and the trio had reached the hospital. Makoto and Kyoko got out of the car, and Fuhito drove away.
"You ready?" Makoto said as he looked at Kyoko.
Kyoko took hold of Makoto's hand. "With you by my side, I'm ready for anything." She began to smile at him.
Makoto smiled back. "Let's go then."
The pair headed inside and followed the signs on the wall until they reached the radiology department, where the ultrasounds took place.
One couple was sitting in the waiting room waiting to be screened. Their eyes latched on to Makoto and Kyoko, and they appeared to surprise at the young couple's age.
"Ignore them," Kyoko said, whispering into Makoto's ear.
The pair found two seats, and they sat down.
There were a few whispers from the couple, and Kyoko knew it was about them.
30 minutes later
Makoto and Kyoko were reading magazines. They knew they were going to be called soon.
"Miss Kirigiri?" A female nurse shouted as she appeared in the waiting room.
Kyoko and Makoto dropped their magazine and stood up.
"If you can follow me, please," said the nurse. The couple did as they were told, and they followed the nurse down a corridor, and they headed into a small room. "Miss Kirigiri, please sit in the chair and present your stomach. I will be back in a few seconds." The nurse left the room.
Kyoko walked over to the chair and sat down. She looked to her left to see the screen that would show her child. Makoto sat down in a guest chair, and he watched Kyoko rolled up her t-shirt to show off her stomach.
"Naegi," Kyoko said softly as she sat back on the chair.
"What's up?" Makoto asked.
"I don't know if hearing this will please you, but I think my boobs have gotten bigger thanks to this child."
"W-What?" Makoto said, shocked.
"You're a male, so you must like boobs or a good looking bum, right?"
"Oh," Makoto replied, rubbing the back of his head. "Kirigiri, you are fine the way you are. To me, you're perfect."
Kyoko's heart skipped a beat, and she blushed.
"If your boobs have gotten bigger, then it's more fun for me, right?" Makoto said with a small laugh.
Kyoko couldn't help but chuckle herself.
The nurse arrived back in. "Ok then." She said as she walked over to her chair. "First, I need to ask you a few questions, Miss Kirigiri. Have you been sleeping well?"
"Yes."
"How has the morning sickness been?"
"Not too bad."
"Good, how have you been doing in general? Have you been under any stress? The reason I ask this is because of your age."
"Everything has been fine for 95% of the time, but I'm in a good state of mind, and hopefully, that helps the baby grow."
"Good," the nurse smiled as she put her gloves on, and she grabbed a tube and pore gel over Kyoko's stomach.
Kyoko got a slight jump.
"Cold, isn't it?" The nurse giggled. "Don't worry. I've had that gel on my stomach once before."
The nurse rubbed the gel all over Kyoko's stomach. Then she turned on the machine and grabbed the handheld device. Then she started to go over Kyoko's stomach while looking at the screen.
Kyoko and Makoto looked at the screen, waiting to see a heartbeat. But instead, they got three heartbeats.
"Oh my goodness," the nurse said, shocked. "Miss Kirigiri, you are expecting triplets."
Makoto's eyes widened in horror. "T-Triplets?" Makoto pulled his head down and covered his face with his hands.
"Yes," the nurse nodded while continuing to look at the screen.
Kyoko put one gloved hand over her face. 'How on earth do we get out of this mess?'
"Three healthy heartbeats, congratulations," the nurse said, smiling as she turned her head to face the couple. But her smile soon vanished when she saw the disbelief in the pair.
Thank you for reading.
