Disclaimer- I do not in any shape or form own Rurouni Kenshin. It would however be a dream come true if I did.

(A/N: Kaoru is 10 weeks pregnant is this chapter. Talk about clueless. :-D )

Chapter 3: Realizations
By InuShemeeko

"Sir Ken? Sir Ken?"

Megumi looked down at Kenshin's unconscious form @-@. Sanosuke and Yahiko came running to see what had happened. Sanosuke looked over at Megumi and asked.

"Hey fox what happened to Kenshin?"

"He...he just fainted."

"What do you mean he just fainted? There has to be a reason for it."

Yahiko looked over at Megumi.

"Yeah Sanosuke is right there has to be a reason to why Kenshin fainted."

Megumi looked at the two and then answered,

"Well I guess it was when I told him about the baby."

Sanosuke looked at Megumi, he then scratched his head.

"Baby what are you talking about?"

Then it finally hit Sanosuke what Megumi meant by baby. Sanosuke's eyes widened as he looked at Megumi.
"You mean Kenshin and the Little Missy are having a kid."

Yahiko just shook his head.

"I feel sorry for the kid. I wouldn't want a mother as ugly as Kaoru."

That's when Sanosuke grabbed Yahiko and placed his hand over his mouth.

"After what the little Missy did to you this morning I wouldn't push it."

I few minutes later Kaoru stepped outside.

"Hey what have you guys been talking about?"

That's when Kaoru saw Kenshin unconscious body lying on the ground.

"Oh Kenshin!"

Kaoru ran and knelt down beside Kenshin's motionless form. She then glanced up at Megumi.

"Alright Megumi what did you do to Kenshin?"

Megumi just giggled. "Maybe you should be blaming yourself Kaoru. He fainted when I told him you where pregnant."

Kaoru placed her hand on Kenshin's cheek.

"Kenshin? Kenshin can you hear me its Kaoru?"

It took Kenshin a few minutes but after hearing Kaoru speak his name he snapped out of it. When he came to he saw Kaoru sitting beside him. While Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Megumi all stared down at him.

"Mi..ssssss Kaoru?"

" Oh Kenshin are you ok?"

Kenshin smiled at Kaoru.

"I'm fine really. I'm sorry if I worried you. Sessha should know better."

Kaoru then smiled lightly at Kenshin. She then bit her lips as she felt tears start to flood her eyes. Kaoru then picked herself off of the ground and ran for the woods. As she ran away from the stunned group Kaoru did her best to hold back her sobs. Sanosuke watched her leave.

"Gee, I wonder what's gotten into the missy?"

Kenshin was still too stunned from Kaoru's departure to say anything. Megumi giggled at Sanosuke.

"You silly it's probably just her hormones. She's about two months along from what I felt, so her hormones are going to be acting a little silly."

Kenshin picked himself off of the ground and started after Kaoru.

"Miss Kaoru? Missss Kaoruuuuuuuu!"

Kenshin knew he had traveled some distance when he then heard sobs coming from somewhere.

"Miss Kaoru?"

Kenshin looked through the bushes to see Kaoru leaning against a tree crying. It pained him to see her cry. The last thing he what to do was hurt her and he had.

"Kaoru?"

Kaoru's sob caught in her throat when she heard Kenshin soft voice speak her name.

"Miss Kaoru, sessha would really like to know what is wrong that I would indeed."

As Kaoru turned to face Kenshin two tears slid down her cheeks. Kenshin slowly walked up to Kaoru as he did so he placed a thumb on each cheek wiping away the tears. Kaoru looked into Kenshin amethyst eyes.

"I sorry Kenshin."

Kenshin looked at Kaoru his confusion shown in his eyes.

"I'm afraid I don't understand that I do not."

"I'm sorry I upset you Kenshin. I'm also sorry about the baby."

"Uh? Miss Kaoru I'm afraid I still don't understand that I do not."

Kaoru turned and looked at Kenshin and blinked a few times.

"I thought that you might not want it."

Kenshin gave Kaoru his Rurouni smiled, "Oh no Miss Kaoru of course I want it. It's a part of you how could I not?"

Kaoru blinked a few more times.

"If it's not that then what is it?"

Kenshin smiled at her once again.

"It's just that there is so much to do that there is. We have a wedding to plan that we do. Then there is planning to do for the baby that there is."

The realization of the fact that she and Kenshin still weren't married hit her like a ton of bricks. However Kaoru then glanced over a Kenshin.

"Wait a minute you're telling me you fainted because we're not married YET?"

Kaoru placed her hands on her hips and glared at Kenshin. Kenshin's eyes widened as he stared at Kaoru.

"Well Kenshin what do you have to say?"

"I uh.I uh."

Kaoru's eyes narrowed as she looked at Kenshin. "Well?"

Kenshin smiled his Rurouni smiled as he scratched his head lightly.

"Well you see I uh...sessha fainted out of shock. It was quite a surprise that it was."

Kaoru bit her lip at this point and try to fight back the tears that started to pour from her eyes.

"I knew it you really don't want this baby."
Kaoru's shoulders shook as she sobbed. Kenshin was taken aback by Miss Kaoru's outburst.

"Miss...Miss..Kaoru?"

Kenshin then gently drew Kaoru into his arms.

"There, there Miss Kaoru. Everything will be all right that it will. And I do want this baby that I do."

Kaoru lifted her head from Kenshin's shoulder and stared into his beautiful amethyst eyes. She then remembered what Kenshin had said about having to get married. Kaoru's glaze shifted down to her stomach right now it was still flat. However she knew that in two more months she would begin to show a little. She then gasped and reached out for Kenshin's hand.

" Kenshin we still have to plan our wedding. Oh there is so much to do."

Kaoru's face brightened as she started to drag Kenshin behind her toward the doujou.

"Kenshin come on. We have a lot of planning to do."

Kenshin eyes widened as he was pulled along behind Kaoru.

He only reply was, "Oro."

Suddenly Kenshin felt Kaoru stop. He then realized that she had let go of his hand. He rubbed it a little, and then looked up at Kaoru.

"Miss Kaoru is everything alright?"

Kenshin watched as Kaoru ran over to some bushes. He winced when he realized that Kaoru was now empting her stomach of all it's contents.

'I think this is what Miss Megumi called morning sickness, however I'm not sure I understand why it is called morning sickness that I don't.'

He then walked over to Kaoru and held her hair back as she retched again. Kenshin then rubbed the small of Kaoru's back.

"Kenshin, don't look at me. I feel so embarrassed."

Kenshin couldn't help but smile.

"It's alright Miss Kaoru, that it is. Besides you always look beautiful to me that you do indeed."

Once the nausea had passed Kaoru slowly braced herself as best she could. Kenshin saw how unsteady she was and reached a hand out to steady her. Kaoru smiled lightly up at Kenshin. His eyes widened as he saw small tears springing from her eyes.

"Oh, Kenshin that's ....that's the most beautiful thing you have ever said to me."

Kenshin's face dropped as he watched the tears ran down her cheeks.

"Orooo."

Kaoru then took one look at Kenshin's confused face and sighed. She then sniff back a sob.

"I'm sorry Kenshin..I...I just don't know what has came over me."

Kenshin blinked a few times letting all of his realizations of the day come into focus to him.

"Lets go back Miss Kaoru. You look tired that you do. You should get some rest that you should indeed."

Kaoru smiled up at him.

"I am a little tired now that you mention it."

"Then it is settled is it not? We shall head back to the dojo that we will."

Kenshin let Karou's head rest on his shoulder as the walked back to the dojo.

"There is so much to do that there is."

Kenshin then pictured in his minds eye what the next couple of weeks where going to be like. Miss Megumi had even told him the Kaoru's mood swings might only get worse. His face fell at the thought

'Oro. I just hope we all can make it through the next couple of months that I do.'

(A/N: Ok that's all now. In the next chapter Kaoru will be 11 weeks pregnant going into her 12-week. Come and see the fun that is awaiting the gang.)
