Chapter Five: Preperations
So that's what they did. Genkai had Hiei on a light training regimen to help keep in shape without going over board, Shizuru taught him how to change diapers, and mix formula for the bottles. After the third one exploded, Hiei fervently decided that he would breast feed and not bother with this nonsense.
Every day his ever growing stomach caused annoyances, and he stretched out of the normal clothes Keiko had bought him, and was now into the maternity wear they had bought earlier.
Finally, it had become rather funny to watch him try to get around. Three months along he could no longer see his feet and could no longer walk, instead he had to opt for a rather undignified waddle. Getting out of bed was a whole other chore. Genkai had set him up with a cot, so he would be able to get up. He would first roll to his side, then push himself up, and the carefully set himself down on the floor.
Many times he felt like thanking Keiko for buying him shoes that were all the same color. That way he never embarrassed himself with mismatched shoes.
He also had to go out in public more and more often as his due date drew nearer. As he waddled along talking to either Yusuke or Kurama or whoever had volunteered to go with him to his appointments. They had unanimously decided that one of the guy's or Genkai would always go with him. Apparently the 'little girls' were not intimidating enough.
So today it was Yusuke. Most guys would have been embarrassed to do this, but Yusuke told him that he was never going to leave him in the same room as the woman without one of them again. There was no way in hell.
Luckily for the doctor, the man who was supposed to be Hiei's doctor recovered from the flu and was back on the job. He had apologized for his assistant's rude behavior.
He was actually quite nice. He was gay, so as he said, he got nothing out of looking up a lady's skirt. He was also one of those people who would talk to you as they worked, trying to distract you from the discomfort. Hiei liked this one much better, and he told the man so. He had smiled and waved off the complement.
Today, Hiei was going for an ultrasound. This was new for him, so he wasn't quite sure what to expect. The doctor, whose name was Tsukayama, smeared some cold jelly substance on Hiei's distended belly and then used a scanner so they could see what was inside. Tsukayama was puzzled when he saw something odd, he thought it looked like a tail, but he didn't bother with it too much. To him, if the baby was healthy, then what did it matter if it had a tail or not? The patient was happy at any rate, and that was the important thing.
