Come Back To Me
Chapter 8
More Changes
In the days following the news of Ryou's pregnancy, Marik, Malik, and Yaten Bakura cleared out everything from an unused bedroom. Putting away some of it and selling the rest.
Malik and Marik had fun painting and decorating the room in Ancient Egyptian themes. Both always had to take a shower when they were done for the day or when they had to eat.
As school time approached, Malik and Marik worked on an illusion that will be set on Ryou. Only a select few would be able to see beyond the trick. The illusion hides Ryou's growing girth by making everyone but the select few see Ryou as they normally do. The illusion will cover up what ever Ryou wears. This is a good thing because his uniform no longer fits like it did before he knew about the pregnancy.
Ryou was thrilled when he heard this. Malik told Ryou that he would have to start carrying around the Millennium Rod for the full effect of the illusion. He was handed the Item so that he could begin getting use to its weight.
Besides this, all four males would get up early in the morning and take a short jog around the block. This was to help Ryou loose some of the extra weight that he had gained over the last few months.
Malik and Marik went as far as teaching Ryou how to defend himself with a knife, if the need ever occurred. Ryou's father went out and bought a small handgun and bullets. He took Ryou to a shooting range and taught him how to use it. Ryou was a fast and willing learner in both techniques.
'Anything to protect my unborn child.' Ryou thought after a long day of workouts and training. 'I'm glad tomorrow's Saturday. Means I get to sleep in. Later, dad and I will convince Malik and Marik to come up to the attic for all of the old baby things. Then we'll wash and dry everything and put them in the nursery. Everything's planned out so well, it should go by smoothly.' Ryou thought as he lounged on his bed. 'Man, I am so glad that Malik and I don't have the same classes as the Yugi-tachi. It would have been terribly hard to avoid them if we did.' Ryou's thought's drifted as he slipped from wakefulness to deep sleep. All while the Ring softly glowed a light yellow color.
Time lapse
School started as it always does, loud and dull. For Ryou and Malik, school was going to be a hard place to be at for the next five months. Both were very glad that Ryou had taken P.E. last school year. That would have been tricky with the illusion over Ryou. Anyway, Ryou and Malik got back into the swing of things faster than all of the other students. It was mostly because the two of them would be up two hours before dawn to jog and train. Then they would shower and get ready for school and eat a hardy breakfast before walking to school.
Everything went smoothly over the next two months until one morning Ryou woke up feeling very odd. He got up and looked himself over in his full-length mirror. He almost fainted at what he saw. He was now a she! Instead of his normal flat chest under his shirt, he now has breasts. He poked one to see if they were really there. Gasping in slight pain Ryou realized that her new chest was indeed real and quite tender. Ryou whimpered, not knowing what she should do.
At that precise moment, Malik walked into Ryou's room, ready to head out, and froze in place with shock. Ryou whimpered again and shifted from foot to foot, waiting for Malik to snap out of his shock. Malik noticed Ryou's squirming and asked, "Ryou what happened?"
"I don't know. I woke up like this. I don't know what to do!" Ryou sobbed, closing in on a panic attack. Malik quickly walked over to his friend and gently gathered her up in his arms.
"Shh. It's going to be okay Ryou. We'll stay home for a couple of days and we cay figure out how to handle this. Now why don't you lay back down and go back to sleep? I'll call the school and leave a message all right?" Malik soothed.
Malik looked down at Ryou when he got no response. Ryou had cried herself to sleep. Malik gently laid Ryou back down on her bed, tucked her in, and left to go call the school.
During the two days that Ryou was out of school, her entire wardrobe changed. Ryou had gone to a maternal store with Ishizu and bought everything that Ryou would need. Bras being the first thing they got. Ishizu helped Ryou with them because of her lack of experience in that department.
The woman helping them showed Ryou how the bra can be opened to feed the baby without having to unsnap the bra.
Ryou surprisingly enjoyed her day of shopping with Ishizu. The older woman was surprisingly insightful. She managed to talk Ryou into feeling comfortable with her new body. She told Ryou that when the day came for the baby to be born that the doctors would be a lot more helpful than if Ryou was still male.
Ishizu also told Ryou that she would need to start taking Lamaze classes in preparation for the birth of the baby.
AN: That ending kind of sucks in my opinion, but hey. I'm going to end this chapter anyway. Oh, and just to let all of my readers know. I've stumbled across a roadblock in my mind and I need inspiration for the next chapter called, "Christmas Surprise." I have a general idea of what it's going to be about but no way to put it into writing. Help would be much appreciated. Thanx.
