Having done many diagnoses on Misato stomach, Ritsuko had confirmed the true gender of the baby of Shinji and Misato. The anticipation was enough to make Misato tense. Shinji was starting to feel uneasy of the end result, had he not held Misato's soft hand with his. With an "everything will be alright" smile Shinji paid Misato, her worries were at ease, temporary.
Deeper and deeper inside, she scanned Misato entire body like a robot. Being in the medical field, she wanted to definitely be sure about her work. After doing the final rub down, Ritsuko took off her glasses and made her opening announcement. "Congratulations Misato, you are having a baby boy."
"Are you sure?" Misato inquired sitting up.
"Come on Misato, you know as well as I my test have always been perfectly accurate." Ritsuko answered. "That is unless, you don't want a son?"
Misato put her shirt down. "Not at all, I just wanted to be sure."
Ritsuko walked up to Shinji. "So Shinji how does it feel to be a father at a young age, you prepared?"
Shinji rubbed the back of his head, while hiding his blushing face. "To be honest Ritsuko, No. I'm still a bit nervous on this whole situation." Shinji glanced at Misato pretty eyes, while she was rubbing her stomach. "Nevertheless, I made a commitment to Misato, and I intent to keep it. I know neither of us had pleasant childhood, but at least we can give our baby a good childhood. You know, the one we never had or wished to have. I love Misato and if she's committed then so am I."
Ritsuko smiled. "You sound just like a mature young man right now." Ritsuko examined Shinji's broad shoulders. "And I see you've gaining some new muscle lately, impressive. You're not as tense as you were years ago."
Shinji was deeply flattered by the compliment as he blushed constantly. "Come on Ritsuko, I wasn't that bad."
"Take care of Misato Shinji, be good to her, you are all she has in life." Ritsuko told Shinji. "Continue to love her every day."
"I will Ritsuko."
Feeling ignored, Misato exclaimed. "Hey, what are you whispering at back there, you're not talking negatively about me behind my again, are you?"
"I'm just letting him know about your constant drinking problem again. You know your most embarrassing moments, where you nearly took off your clothes in front of…"
"Come on Shinji, let get out of this depressing place." Not wanting to hear anymore, Misato went red as she quickly pulled Shinji out of the hospital. Even if Ritsuko was joking, Misato was embarrassed. Shinji could not stop Misato from pulling his hand so hard. While under her capture, Shinji was to the only one to say goodbye to Ritsuko. Ritsuko could only imagine their new life together as it unfolds.
Misato continued to drag Shinji away like a wild dog on collar. "Easy Misato, you're hurting my hand." After the next few minutes, Misato finally stopped at her tracks. As Misato's grip loosen so did her movement.
Suddenly, Misato pinned him to the wall and already leaned her head against his chest. She was so close that she could feel her young lover's heartbeat constantly. The closer she was, the more she gripped his shirt. Tempting as it was to question her sudden reaction, he decided to just enjoy his time with his lover.
As she broke free, Misato continued pressed her face onto Shinji's chest. "So the time will come huh?"
"Yeah, soon we are going to be parents to our new born son. I can hardly wait." Shinji replied with minimum happiness. "But I know it's going to be quite an experience for us." Shinji held Misato's hand.
They glanced at dozens of newborn babies outside the window. Each and every one of them had their sweat innocent faces of life being brought to this world. As a woman on a wheelchair held her newborn baby, Misato admired the child. "Your child is simply adorable. What's her name?" Misato had complimented.
The women smiled. "Thank you, her name is Akito, and she is my pride and joy."
Misato continued to admire the child's peaceful face. It was very cute as she slept in her mother's arms. She could almost imagine her own child being born right now. Misato went in close to the women. "Having your child, is it a painful by any chance?"
"Come on Misato; don't ask her any strange personal questions." Shinji pulled her back. "Sorry, she is a first timer."
The women chuckled a bit. She touched Misato's hand. "It's natural to be nervous on your first time, so it's alright. But I could tell you that you'll have to truly experience it for yourself, it's quite a process."
With the baby on the mine, all Shinji and Misato could do is take their time with the development process. It was only a matter of time before they have their son. Shinji took a sigh, while watching TV as Misato cuddled in body like a holding a teddy bear. "When I said 'learn by example' that isn't quite what I meant. I thought those parenting classes would have taught you enough."
But Misato was too consumed by Shinji's company that she didn't even listen to a word his said. As Misato grasped tighter, Shinji was the first to notice her further approach. "Misato, aren't you clinging to me a little too much?" Shinji asked awkwardly.
Misato leaned further. "That is because I love you too much Shinji, you and I are going to be parents soon. We'll be a loving family, just you and me." Misato said arousing passion.
"Misato…"
Misato went on top of her lover. "Don't ever leave me Shinji."
Shinji held her soft face with his two hands. "I won't Misato, I promise. I'm here to stay, now and forever." As she claimed his lips, Shinji had kissed her back. This time her kiss went deeper as their tongues touched one another. They could feel their kiss melting away in each other's mouths.
The ecstasy in her veins started to scream as Misato aimed for Shinji's hard manhood. Responding to his impulses, Shinji reached up Misato shirt. "I think we have time for one more session before the baby fully takes hold." Misato whispered deeply into Shinji's ear as she grabbed a foil packet.
Before long, their clothes were already on the floor. As they continued their session, they felt their world colliding with one another. Into each other's arms and in their mouths, their bodies burned with passion. While together, they tried different erotic positions. Both of them could hear their inner voices screaming inside. Every touch sent a deep flame inside their warm blooded bodies. Misato was the most sensitive as she felt Shinji's touch on her chest scar that sent a shrivel down her spine. The two had felt complete inseparable in each other's arms. Nothing could break them an apart even if someone had tried to pull them apart. And with the final stroke, they have become one once more.
It was Déjà-Vu as Misato lied on Shinji's chest. With Shinji as her new lover, all of her pain, loneliness, inner sadness, and tension lifted away like a spirit. "Do you really have to go?" Misato begged Shinji tugging on his shirt. She was disappointed to see him go.
"I'm sorry Misato, I know this was supposed to be my day off, but that really need me for this. The rounds are not going to do themselves you know." Shinji said getting ready for work. "But I'll be back very soon, I promise." Shinji leaned in for a kiss. "And don't push yourself too hard, wouldn't want the baby to turn out the wrong way now." Shinji joked.
Not amused by his humor, Misato gave a slight push to Shinji. "Go to work, you jerk."
When Shinji left the house, Misato got out her tapes from the parenting classes. She was dead-set on having the baby as she was determined to learn all she could. Now there was the development process of childcare. As she hit the play button, the learning had begun.
"The first step of giving birth to a baby is always a painful for women everywhere…" The women in the video said.
And so with both arms around a pillow, she continued to watch the video. With careful eyes, she scanned through every scene of the video as much as she could like a scanner. However, there was not a part in the video that was not without graphicness inside and outside.
No matter how much her eyes twitched, she kept them perfectly glued. Misato had even resisted the chance to throw up at any more unpleasant scenes. It was bad enough of giving up beer until the baby was born, but the more the video explained, the more uneasy inside Misato had felt. People did say it was going to be a "painful process" and that is what she believed. Misato only hoped this would not make her stay fat as she squeezed her belly button.
In the meantime, Misato was not the only one with the baby on the mind. As Shinji done his rounds, he was also concern about his newborn. Even if most of his mind was on work, half of it was on the new baby. Through his breaks, he debated different baby names for his child by reading the baby name book he bought from the store.
Through every flip of the page, he learned names and meanings. And since he wanted to come up with good name to really signify their child, off course, he had to debate it with Misato to give the final okay. He could almost imagine the baby's innocent face looking at him right now as he takes off to work.
"I see your having a newborn." One of Shinji's coworkers noticed.
Shinji hid the baby book.
"Oh don't feel nervous kid, it's natural for any new parent to feel like that when a child is going to be born." He put both hands on Shinji's shoulders. "Give your kid a good future, kid, for all young fathers's everywhere." He said dramatically with in teary eyes. Shinji knew he was being way too emotional about this, nevertheless, he understood where he was coming from. It seemed like he was not the only person that is a young father. Shinji coworker was even younger by time he had his first kid.
The female workers were starting to admire Shinji when heard the news about the baby. Even if he assured them "it was no big deal" they thought otherwise. This made Shinji blush so much that he just covered up his face. Now he just wanted the day to end.
"Hey kid, can I have a word with you?" One of Shinji's coworkers called out.
Kyoto!?" Shinji repeated shocked on the new as he nearly dropped his drink.
"Yeah, we have a really big order in Kyoto kid, and they are scheduling us to work there." Shinji's coworker informed.
It was so sudden that Shinji was almost at a loss for words. But luckily it was not for today. At the same time it was completely sudden and Shinji hesitated to accept or reject the offer. He could not deny however, the extra pay that was being given as his coworker calculated on the calculator.
"How long will we actually be there?" Shinji inquired with caution.
"It is certainly not forever, but only for weeks, or maybe even months."
He hated to leave his love behind, but at the same time, he had to think of his kid being on the way. He only hoped it was not going to be forever. Just like with Nerv and his Eva, he was bound to make tough choices.
"I see; so they are stationing you in Kyoto for a while." Misato inquired on the under the covers, having heard about the Shinji's sudden work change. He was being moved to a different work sight, much to Shinji's surprise. Much as he didn't want to, he needed the extra money, nevertheless.
Shinji answered. "Yeah, sorry about that, I know I promised to be home with you so often."
Misato shook her head. "No it's alright. You need to do what you have to, it's not like you'll be there forever."
"Misato; Will you be alright by yourself?"
"Don't be silly Shinji; I'm not as desperate and lonely as I used to be. I'm a grown woman now, just like you're a grown man. Me and the soon-to-be baby will be fine by ourselves. As long as you talk with me so often then I have no doubt you will return. You are the man of the house after all."
Shinji chuckled. "Yeah I guess I am. Still, try not to push yourself too hard, take it easy, alright."
"The same goes to you Shinji." Misato giggled, pulling Shinji into bed. "I love you."
"I love you too Misato."
