Kon'wa!! Yay! I read the chapters and got a wonderful idea for this one.
They need to do some preparations for this, so of course, they have to go,
none other than, SHOPPING! I know, very scary. Here we go! Michiru's POV.
~~~
"Haruka! Hurry up, we want to miss all the traffic!" I called in exasperation.
So far, we had been relatively lucky. Both of us had the symptoms the other one didn't. Therefore, we couldn't say a word in suggestion to either one. I had the cravings, Haruka the morning sickness, though it was too early to tell who would be receiving the kicks still, I could guess Haruka would be stuck with more kicking than I would. For some reason I found all of this interesting.
"HARUKA!" I yelled.
Haruka came out a moment later, her hair still partially wet and wearing a pair of pants that were somewhat tight, and a baggy shirt.
"I had to puke one more time before I started driving. My apologies love." Haruka replied. That was one thing we both had achieved, a new temperament.
We hurried out to the car and got in, then Haruka smirked at me. "Besides, why are you worried about traffic with my driving skills?"
I groaned as Haruka slammed on the accelerator while we reached the interstate. Yet, all the shopping we would do today was going to be a good thing, Haruka's pants were definitely getting tight on her. Hopefully I could get her to wear some of the women's maternity though. Her shopping in the men's section right now might be a bit on the side of disturbing.
**
Half an hour later, we were done with traveling and had reached the shopping mall, and while I was trying to drag Haruka to the maternity section, she was pulling in the direction of the men's clothing.
"Awwww. Come on Michi-chan! I can't stand girlie clothes! Don't make me do this!" She whined.
"They have pants in the women's maternity, then you can get men's shirts, deal?" I argued.
Haruka pouted. "Do they have slacks, or do I have to wear those silly elastic things? And do they have formal jackets? Can I get those with the shirts and ties? What about sleeveless shirts? Do they have carpenter jeans?"
"Ruka-chan, relax. We will go in the maternity first and see what they have there, then we can go into the men's section. Okay?" I groaned.
"Okay!"
The next thing I knew Haruka was racing to the maternity section and examining everything with interest. This was a Kodak moment if there ever was one. Haruka freely exploring the women's section of a store. However, it gave me an oppourtunity to explore things for myself, including new swimsuits. They had one perfect for me, and Haruka liked it, so I added the suit to the pile of slacks, dresses, skirts, and shirts we had already aquired. All of the pants were Haruka's, and the rest was mine. We then proceeded to the undergarments, and ended up with several of everything, according to Haruka's insistence that I needed them, then my insistence that she would need them. Then we headed to the men's section.
By this time, there was a crowd in the area, and we immediately started receiving strange looks. Luckily we were only looking for jeans, shirts, ties, and jackets. I cringed the minute I read over my list. A salesman approached us and smiled.
"May I help you?" He asked.
"Yes, I need several large jackets, shirts, ties, and varying sizes of jeans. Can you handle that?" Haruka asked.
The salesman jumped back in surprise that she was a woman, and then cleared his throat.
"Perhaps you're looking in the wrong section." He offered.
Haruka glared at him and I groaned. "She prefers male clothing for comfort." I managed.
The salesman turned several shades of red, then nodded.
"I see, come with me."
We went through various jackets, pants sizes, shirts, and ties, eventually ending up with a large amount of them. Then after paying for all those items, we went to the baby section. In an instant, Haruka was looking at the boy clothing, and I at the girl clothing. Simultaneously, we went to the cradles and bedding. After spending another ten minutes in there, I was positive we had bought out half of the section, anticipating both a boy and a girl at the very least. Then, we headed for the trunk of the car, and the nearest resturant.
I sighed and looked at Haruka the minute we were in the car.
"Did you have fun shopping for once?" I teased. Her worst enemy had always been shopping, unless it was for car materials. She grinned at me.
"You know, for once I did. I particularly liked the look of shock on the poor salesman's face when he realized two women were shopping in the men's section." Haruka replied.
I laughed lightly and began scanning the different resturants in the area. Then I started thinking about when our next appointment with Ami and Endymion was. We were two months along, so the next check-up was bound to be soon.
"Ruka-chan, when are we due for the next check-up?" I asked. For some reason her memory could retain these things a little better. She pulled out her agenda book and flipped through.
"Actually, today at three this afternoon. We can have lunch and just head over there. Then we have an appointment with our designers to start on the nursery building." Haruka told me.
It had been organized that Usagi, Rei, Setsuna, and Makoto were going to design and create the nursery for us. In return, we would be able to buy everything BUT nursery items until everything had been done in there, and they would leave us alone about the pregnancy. Setsuna would also be the one we boarded with when it came close to delivery. All of this was becoming rather interesting, and soon enough it would drive us all either insane, or closer together. In all honesty, spending time with Setsuna again would be something we looked forward to. It had been quite some time since we had seen her, so this would be another fond memory to look upon. Not to mention, after her training as a midwife, she was an excellent emergency resource for us to live with.
We decided to eat at a buffet, and indeed had our money's worth on elaborate quisine. After about two hours, we headed over to the palace. There, we coincidentally ran into Setsuna first thing.
"Suna-chan! Kon'wa!" Haruka exclaimed.
Setsuna smiled and hugged us both gently. "Kon'wa! How are you two? The both of you look like you're doing quite well. No morning sickness or cramping?" She asked.
"Haruka has the morning sickness, neither of us have cramps. None of our symptoms are the same, so we can't irritate each other with advice." I told her.
Setsuna smiled and stood between us, taking both of us by the arms.
"Well, I hear the two of you have some rather pressing appointments, so I'll let you both get going now, then we can discuss the design of the nursery. Serenity has some rather, unusual ideas. We can talk later, though." Setsuna said, then Ami met us and we left with her. What was yet to come might be more than a little intimidating. I could only hope that I could handle Serenity running part of my household.
