Chapter 5: A Sigh, and A Back Rub
By InuShemeeko
(A/N: Karou is now four months pregnant, She will be showing a lot more. During weeks 13-15 they were getting ready for the wedding and then having the wedding. I have some flashbacks. Just thought you would like to know.)
Kaoru was now in the first week of her fourth month. There was no doubting now that she was expecting. Kaoru could not help but smile, as of two weeks ago she was now Mrs. Karou Himura. The wedding had been small, in which only their close friends came. Yahiko, Sanosuke, Miss Megumi, Dr. Gensai, Ayame & Suzume had been there. Followed by Tae and Tsumbame, even Misao had shown up. Karou sighed as she recalled those two words Kenshin had spoken to her.
`Flashback`
"Kenshin Himura, will you honor and keep Kaoru for as long as you both shall live?"
"I will, that I will."
"Kaoru Kamiya, will you honor and keep Kenshin for as long as you both shall live?"
"I will."
Kaoru sighed lightly as she remembered the sweetness of Kenshin kiss. She was sure that this was the happiest she had ever been in her life. Kaoru's eyes then lowered to glance at her bulging stomach. So much had changed in her life, however she still held a fear inside of her heart.
'Will I really be a good mother? Am I taking good care of this baby as it grows inside of me?'
Karou was brought out of her thoughts as a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her expanding waist.
"Miss Karou, you seem deep in thought that you do. Could there be anything by chance bothering you?"
Kaoru didn't answer him right away.
'I don't believe it he just called me Miss Kaoru.'
Kenshin then thought about what he had just said.
"Ops, I believe I called you Miss Kaoru once again this week. Sorry about that Kaoru, it would appear that old habits are truly difficult to break. Indeed they are."
Kaoru then once again found her voice. She then smiled lightly at Kenshin.
"That's alright Kenshin."
Kenshin blinked a few times as he stared at Kaoru. She really was deep in thought. Normally she would have hit him for calling her Miss Kaoru now.
"Kaoru something seems to be troubling you. That it does."
Kaoru waved her hand at Kenshin.
"It's nothing really, it's just..it's just I'm worried about what kind of a mother I 'm going to be."
Kenshin gently reached down and placed a hand under Kaoru's chin. Bringing her eyes up to meet his. He then smiled gently at her.
"I believe you will be a wonderful mother that indeed you will Mi.. Kaoru."
Kenshin then smiled sheepishly over at Kaoru.
Kaoru only smiled back at him. However, Kenshin could see the worry that was laced within her eyes.
"Kaoru, if it will help you; I will tell you the truth. I too worry, however my worry is of what kind of father I will be to our child. That I do."
Kaoru couldn't help the tears that slid from the corners of her eyes. As her flung herself into Kenshin's arms.
"Oh, Kenshin. You're going to be a wonderful father. I am sure this child will enjoy every minute that it spends with you."
Kenshin's words were just whispers in the wind, but Kaoru heard them.
"Thank you Kaoru."
"I believe that it is my turn to ease the worry that I can see in your eyes. Indeed it is."
Kenshin then gently pulled a little bit away from Kaoru to look into her deep sapphire eyes. Right before lowering his lips to her's, taking her into a passion fill kiss. As he lengthened the kiss he felt Kaoru wince and place a hand to the side of her abdomen. Kenshin's eyes widened as he pulled gently out of the kiss.
"Kaoru what is it? Is it the baby? What has caused the pain that I see in your eyes now?"
Kaoru smiled weakly as she looked at Kenshin.
"I'm alright Kenshin. I just think I pulled a muscle when I leaned forward. Megumi had said earlier that, that would happen."
"I would still feel better Kaoru if I took you to our room so then you could rest, while I go and get Miss Megumi. I would feel better if Megumi took a look at you that I would."
Kaoru sighed as Kenshin worked on trying to lift her into his arms. Which was turning out to be a lot harder then Kenshin thought it would. In truth Kenshin knew that it all had to be baby. After trying a few more times Kenshin held a pregnant Kaoru within his arms. Kenshin weaved back and froth a few times trying to get his balance. He truly did not wish to drop Miss Kaoru for fearing that it would most defiantly harm the unborn child she carried.
Once Kenshin was sure that he had adjusted to his new weight. He glanced down at Kaoru. She now had her left cheek resting against his chest. Upon reaching the bedroom Kenshin used a socked foot to slide the door open. Kaoru blinked once when she noticed the futon already rolled out on the floor.
"That's weird I could have sworn I folded that up and put it away this morning."
"That you did Kaoru. I had other plans for us tonight seeing that we are alone. However, I believe that the baby as made plans of it own that it has."
Kenshin said giving Kaoru one of his Rurouni smiles.
Kaoru stifles a yawn as Kenshin laid her down onto the futon.
"Gomen (sorry) Kenshin I didn't realize how tired I really was until a little while ago."
Kenshin smiled at Kaoru.
"It's ok Kaoru, you do not have to apologize for being tired that you do not."
*******************************************
An hour later Megumi stepped out of Kenshin and Kaoru's bedroom. Megumi smiled as she looked up at Kenshin and saw the worried look that was plastered upon his face.
Kaoru is fine Sir Ken."
"What about the baby Miss Megumi?"
She continued to smile as she looked at Kenshin.
"The baby is fine as well. It is growing surprising well. You are taking very good care of them Sir Ken. Now stop worrying yourself to death. That's a doctor's order."
Kenshin smiled lightly over at Megumi.
"Alright Miss Megumi, I will, that I will."
Sanosuke pushed himself away from the dojo walls.
"Well, fox lady if you're finished here? I guess I'll walk you home."
Megumi smiled at Sanosuke. Kenshin then remember Yahiko.
"Sano. Have you seen Yahiko?"
Sanosuke turned and smirked at Kenshin.
"Oh yeah, the kids stay at my row house for the night. He said he wanted to give you and Kaoru some time to yourselves."
He then turned leaving Kenshin standing in the night. Once Sanosuke and Megumi were no long in sight. Kenshin turned and head inside the dojo. He then made his way to his and Kaoru's room. Kaoru's back was to Kenshin as he knelt down behind her. Kenshin then placed his hands at the center of Kaoru's back, rubbing it in a circular motion. Karou moaned in her sleep.
"Oh, Ken..shin that feels wonderful."
Kenshin smiled at the pleasure he was giving Kaoru even though she was a sleep. Maybe tonight wasn't a waste after all. He then pulled Kaoru's sleeping entire up away from her swelling abdomen, Kenshin then placed his lips gently against the skin of Kaoru belly. Kenshin then whispered to the child nestled within Kaoru's womb.
"Sleep well little one."
Kenshin then placed his head lightly against the swell of Kaoru's abdomen. He smiled gently as he though he could hear the faint beat of the child's heart. All was well in his world. However, Kenshin worried over how Kaoru would handle the stress of the pregnancy, as she got farther along in it. Megumi had assured him that Kaoru would do fine. Kenshin on the other hand just couldn't help but worry.
He had never had a small child in his life to worry about and now he did. Kaoru meant everything to him. She had never pushed him about his past, but let him tell her when he felt the time was right. Kenshin just couldn't lose them, losing the child would be one thing. However, if something was to happen to Kaoru, Kenshin was unsure if he could go on without her.
Kenshin shook those thought from his mind. His amethyst eyes then glanced back up at Kaoru's sleeping form. He then scooted closer to Kaoru and reached over to place a protective hand over the child resting save inside of Kaoru's womb. Kenshin then sighed as he fell into a peaceful sleep.
