Seika was so glad to have guests around the house. She had remembered how things were in the old days when she would entertain all of her parents visitors and have great times with their children. But the one thing she was so fascinated about what the miracle of life. She looked at Ukyo constantly and she wondered what it was like to be an expected mother. She always wanted to be one since she was little but she never had the chance. After her mother died she decided not too. She was the only one left until her father returned. Homura was so much happier at his old house then he had ever been before.
Ukyo was actually feeling better on this new planet then she did back on Kansei. ' Its amazing… I don't feel sick at all… and now my appetite has almost tripled. I'm getting less and less angry with Trunks and things see so much better. I wonder what I is about this place?'
Seika smiled as she picked up on Ukyo's thoughts. She turned back to the living room. " I'm glad you are doing well Ukyo…"
Ukyo looked back at her in shock. " How did you know? I didn't say anything to you about it."
" I was able to pick up your thoughts."
" I see… so you're a mind reader?"
" That is just something I picked up on." She walked into the living room.
" Mamma taught me every thing about expecting mothers. As the daughter of the scientist I played around with foods that help a mother with a child, and over the years I have helped many woman feel much better."
" How old were you when you did this?" Ukyo asked. She was very surprised.
" Um… I was about 10… I believe."
" Woah. That's pretty young."
Homura came over and hugged Seika. " That's my girl. She takes after her father when it comes to brains… isn't that right honey?"
" Yeah papa!"
Jal came over to Ukyo. She started checking out Ukyo and her baby to see what was going on. " Things are looking very good Ukyo. It's the best case I have ever seen before. What ever you are doing keep doing it."
" So the baby is healthy then?"
" Fit as a button. I am amazed. But that also makes my job a bit easier. If things go as I expect you will have a fast and easy birth."
Seika smiled again. " I'm glad its working… I'm so use to doing it on Saiyans I wasn't sure if it would work on a Kanjin mother. But it makes my day when I know everything will be better for the mother."
" Did you forget about me? I'm the only who finally gets a relief… no more pans to the head." Trunks said.
Ukyo smirked. " I wouldn't be so sure Trunks dear… I can still hit you if I want."
Trunks cringes at the site of the pan Ukyo was waving around. " I hate pans… now I think I understand why Goku, Gohan, and father cower at the site of it." He looks at his wife pleading. " Please, don't hit me with that again."
" If you behave yourself my love and don't get me angry… everything will be fine."
" That's easier said then done." Trunks muttered. Ukyo raised the pan again. Trunks backed off as a result. " I'm just going to go uh outside, yeah outside… You got a pool or something?" He shook his head. ' Ok that was a stupid thing to ask… like they would have a pool on an alien planet… I think Ukyo fried my brain.'
" As a matter of fact we do have one." Seika said.
Trunks turns to her in shock. " You have a pool here?"
" Of course… mamma and papa made one before I was born."
Homura sighed. " And it was quite enjoyable too."
Trunks smiled. " Where is this pool?"
" Over there." Homura pointed to the glass doors at the other end of the room.
Trunks rushed out the room and he found himself standing in front of a huge pool. " Woah this is amazing!"
The pool was a rectangle… on its far end there was a diving board. The water was so clear and so was the pool. There was nothing in it. On the floor near the wall there were boggy boards and a floatable lounger. Trunks was so excited. He started throwing off his cloths. Seika and the others were standing there as Trunks was going to jump in. " Trunks don't….." It was too late. Trunks jumped in the pool. A second later he jumped out of it. He floated in the air holding on to his arms and rubbing them.
" Why didn't you warn me it was cold!" He shouted.
" I tried to but you didn't listen…" Seika said, " But don't worry I can warm it up a bit." She went over to the left side of the pool. She pressed a few bricks and a control pad appeared. " Lets see here…. Trunks get in the pool and I will adjust the temp."
" Ok…" Trunks floated down but he didn't want to go in the water. His toes just touched the water.
Ukyo laughed. " Don't be such a baby… get in!"
" But its cold Ukyo!"
" I don't care what it is… you get in that pool or I'll hit you again."
" No fair…" Trunks slowly descended into the pool. " Alright I'm ready Seika." She started turning the knob and after a few turns Trunks said. " That's good… not too cold and its not hot… it's just right." Trunks relaxed in the pool. He looked at everyone else. " Whatcha waiting for? Take a load off… and come in."
Seika walked over to Ukyo. " It helps with the relieving process…."
" If you say so…" Ukyo took off her kimono.. and she was left with a long shirt. She stepped in the pool and walked over to her husband who was at the side of the pool. Ukyo leaned back and sighed. " This feels so good."
Kadin smiled. " Well since you two are in lets join the party…"
Every striped down and one after another they got in. Seika went to the deep end of the pool. She was wearing a purple two piece. " Heads up everyone." Seika jumped in the air a few times and then she flipped into the pool making a big splash.
Taj and Taiyo held up 10 signs. " Very good ma'am." Taj said.
" You are the best at that." Taiyo said.
Seika looked at the two men. " Aren't you coming in?"
" No… we better take care of other things… like a snack for you all." Taj said.
" That would be lovely…. But do you know how to make it?"
" Of course… we had two fine teachers." Taiyo said.
Seika smiled. " Just don't burn the place down." She went under water again and swam to the others.
All the women were enjoying the feeling of the water hitting them. Kadin was busy giving Keke a rub down.
Seika came over. " So do you like it?" She wasn't asking anyone in particular.
" I love it.. you really know how to help a pregant woman Seika." Ukyo said.
" I try my best. All woman get my special care. I wanted it too be comfortable for you."
" Well I thank you for it. All my stress is going away."
" Excellent …"
Seika turned to Jal. " So how long do you say she has until the baby is born?"
" Ah… I'd say… say around a few more months. But if she might have an early labor but that isn't too unusual. So one month the easiest."
" That's very soon." Trunks said.
" We will just have to see." Jal said.
Ukyo rubbed her tummy and winced.
" Something wrong?" Jal asked.
" The little brat is doing flips in there and he keeps kicking me."
" Lively little thing isn't he…." Seika said, " Well it is to be expected… since he does have Saiyan blood. I guess you might be right Jal if he keeps this up, it could be any day in this month."
" Seriously!" Ukyo said.
" Yep… I have been checking up on your tests…. Very promising… it won't be long now."
" Well I can't wait… all this pain and work would pay off. I want to be a mother and I want to make my child a great life. I just hope we can pull it off.."
" We will do it together Ukyo… you and me. Our baby will something else… so great he'll be a legend. I'm sure we can do it Ukyo. Peace will come about and we will be able to do what our ancestors thought was impossible…"
" And that is a day to wait for."
Hey everyone. Alright that was a kinda weird chapter, but I hope you like it anyway. Till next time. Please review.
