„I... I am what? Pre-pregnant? How could this have happened?" Momo's mouth
was wide open and her eyes were about to fall out of her face. She was
totally shocked by this statement. Dr. Shigemazou just smiled at her as he
talked to her in a soft voice. "I don't think that I have to explain to you
how the baby was created, do I? I'm sure that you and Bunji already
practised it many times before, Momo." He placed his bag down on the floor
and went back to the still shaking young woman. He sat down on her bed and
gave her a comforting hug. "I know that it's hard to deal with and I know
that it will be hard for you to quite fighting and training, but Momo you
just have to. If you don't there'll be problems for you and your unborn
child. So please promise me that you'll be careful in everything you do,
ok?!" He said softly as he looked directly into her eyes. Momo found her
strength back and nodded her head. The information was slowly accepted by
her mind, but she still had so many questions. "How far am I?" Her voice
sounded teary and small even if she didn't want it to.
The doctor was happy that she was back normal again, at least a little.
"Already in the early 4th month, Momo. Every other women would have noticed
it if her period would have stopped. But you were just focused on your
training as always." he got up from her bed again and walked up to the
door, taking his bag. "So I'll send Bunji here now, I think there is
something you want to tell him." He said friendly, but Momo just gave him a
weak smile. As he said these words her thought finally reminded her that
she had to tell Bunji of this. Of course she had to. He was the father, but
how would he react if he found out. Would he be angry? They had never used
any pills or condoms, because they thought that it wouldn't be necessary
and actually they didn't had so much sex for people in their ages. When she
heard Meg, Sarah and Josephine talk about their love-lives she always felt
strange. But Bunji and her trained all day and at the end of the training
they were tired and didn't have the power to make love too. But now it had
happened and she didn't know if she should be happy or sad about it. Of
course she always wanted children, but just now? Actually she wanted to
wait for some more years, but now it was too late to think about it.
Momo was in deep thoughts that she didn't even recognize that Dr.
Shigemazou had already left the room. But all of a sudden she was someone
next to her bed. She looked up quickly and saw Bunji standing next to her.
He was pale and had a worried look on his face. His usually funny and
lively black eyes were looking down on her with concern.
"Dr. Shigemazou said that you want to tell me something important, but he
didn't say what so I'm here, Momo." There was a silence between the two
lovers. They both were embarrassed and didn't know what to say next. Momo
relaxed a little as she felt his hand on hers and she took it and squeezed
it tightly.
"I'm so afraid that it might be something bad and the thought of you
feeling bad or even loosing you makes me go crazy." Bunji whispered and
Momo got tears in her eyes from seeing him in this state. She leaned
forward and hugged him. Her arms were around his back and soon she felt him
giving into the hug and his arms made their way around her waist and lower
back. They stayed like this for some minutes, just listening to each others
heartbeats. Momo kissed his soft black hair for some times. She loved to
run her hands through it. "Bunji I love you so much and you don't have to
worry about me now. Because there is nothing wrong with me." She said
quietly as they leaned back to look at each other. Bunji's eyes were
shining as he looked at her puzzled. "What, but the doctor said that... "
Momo put a finger on his lips and her eyes were glowing with love. "Honey,
I said that there is nothing wrong with me. There is something with me, but
it isn't anything bad actually."
Bunji was confused by now and looked at her, waiting for her to go on. "So
what is it then?" He asked wanting to know the truth. She took his hands
into hers and looked deeply into his eyes. "Bunji, we are going to have a
baby." She said trying to sound as normal as possible. Bunji just sat there
at first, till the news was running in his brain. His eyes widened slowly
and he opened his mouth to say something. Momo felt her heart sink as she
saw this. He didn't want a baby. She knew it! He would tell her to give
their baby away. She felt tears coming up in her eyes and she tried to hold
them back as good as possible. She had made a promise to herself. It was
their fault that she got pregnant and now they had to live with the
consequences. This was their child and it was their duty to take care of
it.
Momo let out a surprised scream as she felt Bunji hugging her tightly.
After some seconds he let go of her again and moved his head down and laid
his ear on her belly. Momo was incredibly happy about that. She felt his
wet cheeks on her naked belly and she saw that he was happy. It were happy
tears. Bunji moved back up and kissed her quickly on the lips. "Oh my God,
Momo! We are going to be parents! We'll have a baby! I can't believe it!"
he laughed and hugged her again. This time she hugged him back. "So you
aren't sad or angry about it?" She asked carefully. Bunji looked at her.
"Of course not! I mean this is great and at least it were us who made this,
so I can't wait till I will be there!"
He put his ear again down on her belly and enjoyed the feeling that there
was something inside that was a part of them. Momo let her hand run through
his hair.
After some time Momo asked him a question that was bothering her for some
time. "But what will we do Bunji? We aren't even married." As Bunji heard
this he jumped up from the bed and ran to his jacket, which was hanging
over a chair. He was searching for something and he let out a sigh as he
found it. Momo watched him curiously. Bunji came back to the bed with a
strange smile playing on his lips. He sat down next to her again. "I wanted
to ask you this for a long time, but I now I know that it is right. Momo do
you want to marry me?" Momo gasped as she saw the golden ring with the
diamante in the middle. It was beautiful and she couldn't help but whisper.
"Yes!"
