And the end comes closer… Sorry that the chapter's have been getting so far apart and all, but I've been busy with another certain story… Anyway, we get some more set up for the inevitable wedding and birth of Shinichi and Junko's child this chapter. Heh, unlike last time I did something like this, a lot of focus is going to be on the Hell of being a future parent. I've done lots of research… Mwahahaha….

Love Hina Next: Second Phase

Chapter 63: The Mis-Adventures of Shinichi and Junko: Future Parents!

Shinichi sighed as his fiancée took another trip to the bathroom, wincing as he heard vomiting noises coming from the hallway. "She didn't make it, I take…" It had been about 5 months and Junko's morning sickness hadn't let up at all.

"Oh my god!" Tokimi screamed from the hallway. "Junko, not again!"

"I'm sorry, Tokimi…" Junko said sadly, bowing slowly. "I just can't help it…"

Tokimi sighed. "I know you can't… It's all right, I'll get it cleaned up…"

Rikina yawned as she walked through the hallway, rubbing her eyes. She was slowly trudging, staring at the ground, stopping when she saw… "Oh… oh my god…" She shivered. "Morning sickness, right?…"

Junko whimpered, nodding. "I feel absolutely terrible…"

"Well don't you worry…" Tokimi said, reassuringly. "We'll get this cleaned up!"

"Oh god, I sooo do not feel like coaching today…" Junko muttered.

"Then don't go!" Shinichi shouted. "Junko honey… I really don't think you should be pushing yourself like this!"

"Shut up, Shinichi! Unlike you, some of us have steady jobs!" Junko suddenly screamed, snapping at him. She gasped, surprised at how viciously she had acted. "Aw, damn it… Sorry, Shinichi-kun…" Her mood suddenly swung into depression, and she began to sniffle. "I… I don't blame you if you hate me now…"

"It's all right…" Shinichi said softly, touching her cheek. "We all know what you're going through, mood swings and all…" He smiled, getting on his knees and lifting up her shirt slightly. "But it will be worth it… We're going to have a wonderful, adorable little baby… And it will be as beautiful as you are…" He gently rubbed her enlarged tummy, giving it a light kiss. "And Junko… I could never hate you."

Junko blushed heavily. Shinichi wasn't even this romantic during their make-out sessions. "W-well, I'd better get ready for work…"


"All right, guys!" Junko shouted. "Don't let those guys intimidate you! Sure their bigger than you, but you guys are better than them!" The team was going up against the Sougeki Junior High Tigers.

A boy on Junko's team ran up to her. He was rather short and had flat black hair. "Coach? I'm kinda scared of these guys…" He said softly, with a bit of a lisp.

"Aww, don't be a wimp, Chioji!" another boy with short brown hair teased, grabbing the smaller boy in a head lock. "Don't worry, coach! We can take these losers!"

"That's the way, Junpei!" Junko gave him a thumbs up. "Show them that you're not scared!"

And so, the game began. Both teams played hard, and around the 7th inning, it was a tie game. The other team was getting a bit frustrated…

A tall boy with bleached hair went to bat, a smirk on his face. Swinging the bat for practice a few times, he cracked his neck. "I'm gonna send this one right out of the park!"

"Ha! In your dreams!" Junko taunted. "You couldn't hit the broadside of a barn!"

An anger mark appeared on the boy's forehead. Junko had been doing this all game and he was sick of it. "Y-you lousy bitch!" he screamed, snapping. "I'll show you! This one is going for your head!" As the ball was tossed, he hit it, smirking as it flew toward Junko.

The female coach's eyes widened and everyone stared in shock as the ball hit her in her midriff. She keeled over in pain and her team quickly dropped everything, rushing towards her. "Coach, are you okay!" Chioji cried. He and the other players stared at the bleached hair boy in rage. "You bastard! How could you hit a pregnant woman!"

The 'bleach hair boy' began to whimper and blubber, sincerely sorry for what he had done. "I didn't mean to do it… Honest! I'm so so--"

"Get him!" Junpei screamed, as the entire team tackled him. No one attacked their coach, pregnant or not.

"Stop fighting!" the referee screamed. "Or both teams will be disqualified! Motomiya-san's team is already in trouble for intentionally trying to hurt Sagawa-san!"

"Hey guys, settle down…" Junko winced, slowly standing up. "It only hit me right below my chest…" She chuckled. "Knocked the wind right out of me…" Sighing, she began to walk off of the field. "I hope you guys don't mind me leaving, but this is too risky for the baby…"

"Don't worry, coach!" Junpei shouted, smiling. "The other team might be getting' disqualified anyway!"

Junko snorted, bursting out laughing. "Ha! That's great…" She waved goodbye, winking as she walked off. "Well, seeya!"


"Junko!" Shinichi screamed, running over to his fiancée. "Are you all right! I got a call from the school about you getting hit in the stomach with a baseball!" Lifting up her skirt, he started checking for any bruises. Doing a super thorough search, he began to stick his head up her shirt.

"I'm fine…" she muttered, bonking him on the head. She smiled, patting him on the spot that she hit him on. "But thanks for worrying about me, baby…"

"Ah, but I do see a medium sized bruise below your chest…" he frowned. "Are you sure you're okay? What if the baby--"

"I'm sure it's okay!" Junko said, in a reassuring tone. "Look, if you want to make sure, we can just go get an ultrasound or something…"

"That's a good idea! We can also see if it's going to be a boy or a girl!"

Junko nodded, grinning. "Yeah, so let's make an appointment!"


A few days later, the couple went in to see how their future child was doing. The doctor, with his black-ish gray hair and full beard, smiled cheerfully as the image came up on the screen. "Well congratulations… In about 4 months, you will have a healthy baby boy…"

"Awwww!" Junko whined, lying on the table. "I wanted a girl!" both the doctor and Shinichi face faulted. "What?…" she asked, pouting. "Is that so hard to ask?"

"That's understandable…" Shinichi replied, standing up. "But still… Won't you love the baby all the same?"

Junko began to think, rubbing her chin. "Hmm… I suppose…" she replied, causing Shinichi and the doctor to face fault again. "Kidding! Just kidding!" she giggled, waving her hand back and forth. "I'll love this little guy no matter what…" She smiled softly, gently rubbing her slowly growing abdomen. "And I'll protect him for as long as I can…"

Junko's boyfriend smiled, walking over to her and kissing her on the forehead. "I will, too… I'll protect the both of you..."


"Hey! We're back!" Shinichi shouted, as he and Junko walked into the door. "And we got pictures of the baby! It's gonna be a boy!"

"Awww… So cute!" Naoko squealed, as she looked at the pictures. "I can see his little toes!"

"So, what are you going to name the little fella'?" Shinobu asked, walking in from the kitchen.

"We haven't decided, yet…" Junko said softly.

Ami grinned, coming up with an idea. "Hey… Since you guys are getting married soon anyway, how about we make it a double wedding?"

"Double wedding?…" Junko repeated unsurely, raising an eyebrow. "I dunno, that's sounds a little--"

"That's a great idea!" Shinichi shouted.

"What was that, Shinichi-kun?…" Junko asked, a tinge of annoyance in her voice.

"Dear, shouldn't we discuss this?" Jin began, a slightly worried look on his face.

"It would be so fun!" he exclaimed happily. "Don't you agree, Junko?"

The tomboy and the former assassin sweat dropped as their respective significant other's eyes sparkled brightly. "Okay, whatever you say…" they said in unison, exasperation in their voices.


"Shinichi-kuuuun…" Junko whined in the middle of the night.

The man's eyebrow twitched. "Yes, dear?…"

"I wanna meat bun…" she replied in a slightly goofy tone.

"…I don't think we have any meat buns…" Shinichi replied back, sighing.

"…Can you go downstairs and check?" she asked, turning towards him in the bed and whispering the request in his ear in a sultry voice. "…Please?"

Shinichi bit his lip. "Damn it…" Getting out of bed, he left the room and went downstairs. After a few minutes, he made his way back upstairs. "No, we don't…" As Junko stared at him with teary eyes, whimpering pitifully, he whined in defeat. "All right, fine! I'll go out and get one! Although I don't know who the hell is going to be open this time of night…"


As the soon-to-be-no-longer-youngest Suichi male drove down the street, he sighed. "Darn Junko and your cute as hell mood swings…" He drove past all the dark, closed stores and growled. "Come on! Somebody has to still be open!" He raised an eyebrow as he saw a man pushing a cart around. A banner on the cart said: "Hot, Freshly Made Meat Buns! Only 200¥!" His eyes widened in joy. "At last!" Not thinking, he turned toward the cart, frightening the man. He began to run, cart and all, and a tired, slightly delusional Shinichi hopped out of the car and gave chase. The man was remarkably fast for someone that was lugging a big food cart around, but Shinichi would not give up.

They ran all across the city, the man jumping over obstacles while Shinichi crashed right through them. The meat bun cart man suddenly yelled as he almost ran straight into a wall. He gasped in horror. Dead end. He turned around sadly to accept his fate. He gave a look of puzzlement as the crazed young man that was chasing him screeched to a halt. Breathing heavily with a crazed look in his eyes, Shinichi stared at the man. "Finally… I caught up to you…" Reaching into his pocket, which alarmed the man greatly, he pulled out a few bills. "2 meat buns, please!" The man's lip quivered for a moment, before he burst out into insane laughter.


"Junko!" Suichi announced triumphantly. It took me a while, but I finally found someone who was selling meat buns!"

"…Oh, I don't want meat buns anymore…" the pregnant woman explained. "I want some vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and some pickles!"

Shinichi's left eyebrow twitched as he chuckled, walking dangerously on the edge of insanity. He dropped the meat buns to the floor in defeat. "Is that so?…" Falling to his knees, he began to cry waterfalls. 'Damn it! I can't freaking take this anymore! I'm gonna go crazy!'

"Shinichi?..." Junko pouted. "Aren't you gonna go get me my pickles and ice cream?... The baby and I are getting really hungry..."

End of Chapter 63.

…And that's it. I'm going to bed now.
