Chapter Three: Little Surprises
Ichigo bent over the toilet and threw up. She gagged and choked. When she was finished, she looked at her watch: 7:30 a.m. She had only thirty minutes to be at the Café Mew Mew. She jumped in the shower to rinse off and get the throw up off of her.
It has been exactly one month and 3 weeks since they got fully moved into their new apartment. In that time, Ichigo, her Mom, Retasu, Minto, Purin and Zakuro were almost done with the wedding. It was just going to be her parents, Aoyama's parents, the mew mews, Akasaka and Shirogane at the Café Mew Mew. They hired a priest to do the ceremony. Akasaka was going to bake the cake, Shirogane was in charge of the music, Minto and Retasu over deserts and decorations, Purin in charge of games, and Zakuro over her wedding dress and the mew mew's bride's maid's dresses. She felt so proud of herself that everything was planned.
"Oh!" Ichigo screamed in pain as she threw up again. Just then, Masaya walked in and saw her on the shower floor.
"Ichigo!" he screamed. "Are you okay? What happened?" He opened the shower door and held her.
"Masaya!" she cried. "I-I have to get to work. I can't miss."
"Ichigo, you idiot, you're sick; you can't go!" He helped her up and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her.
Masaya called Café Mew Mew and told Akasaka that Ichigo was sick. Akasaka said he would tell the girls and Shirogane.
Later that day about 11:30 a.m. Ichigo felt loads better. She walked into the kitchen and got her some grapes and strawberries to snack on.
"You're up!" Masaya said putting his arms around her waist.
"Yeah, I feel better. I don't know what happened to me." She turned and placed a grape in Masaya's mouth and he placed a strawberry in hers. They chewed and locked in a long kiss. "Um," she moaned, "That was good." She smiled and kissed him again. "I think I might go to work. I'm going to get dressed." She kissed him and tried to move, but Masaya stopped her, "Masaya!"
"Are you sure you're felling better?" He asked.
"Yes, now move," she said pushing on his arm.
"Because I don't want to get a call on my cell saying you're in the hospital because you fainted."
"Yes, Masaya, I'm fine." She smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back and let her go.
She got to their bedroom and pulled her uniform out of the closet. It was kind of tight today. She wondered why. She ran to the bathroom and saw she'd gained five pounds. She was appalled! She turned away in disgust and walked out of the front door.
Ichigo reached Café Mew Mew and walked around to the back. She was greeted by Akasaka.
"Ichigo," he said shocked, "I thought you were sick?"
"Yeah, I was, but I started feeling better." She gave a pensive smile.
"Okay. If you think you can handle it, be my guest. But if you feel the slightest bit nauseated, you better come back here and lay down."
"Okay, I will!" She chimed.
She walked through the kitchen to the front behind the desk. 'Maybe Masaya and Akasaka are right. I better take it easy,' she thought as she pulled up a chair and got behind the cash register.
Zakuro came up and placed her arm around Ichigo, "So, morning sickness and weight gain?" She laughed.
"Weight gain?" Ichigo shouted.
"Oh, and mood swings too," Zakuro laughed.
"What exactly are you getting at, Zakuro?" Ichigo flared.
"The question is," Zakuro said crossing her arms, "what are you getting from Aoyama-san?"
"Excuse me?" She asked confused.
"Ichigo, you're pregnant."
Her eyes got wide. Could she be? "I am not," she pleaded.
"Ichigo, wake up and smell the diapers. You have all the classic signs. Oh…" Zakuro got quiet, "when was your last period?"
"Zakuro!" Ichigo screeched, blushing. But come to think of it, she hasn't had it yet this month and last month was iffy. "Uh," was all she could mutter.
"Umm hum. That's what I thought! Girl, I'm so happy for you! Aw, but now I need to change the design of your dress. You better be glad I haven't made it yet," she said jokingly.
The rest of that day went by in a blur. All she could think about was 'I'm pregnant? I'm pregnant?' The rest of the girls came up to talk to her, but she couldn't remember what they said. And at the end of the day when she counted the money, she couldn't remember how much it was. She walked home in a daze. It was 8:00 p.m. and she walked strait into the room and fell on the bed. Masaya heard her come in and walked into their bedroom to see her lying across the bed. "Are you okay Ichigo? You didn't get sick again did you?" He asked, laying beside her.
"No, I'm fine, just a little tired." She turned onto her side and faced him. "Very tired," she sighed. She ran her fingers through his hair and closed her eyes.
Masaya smiled and looked his fiancé up and down. She looked so sexy laying there and he wanted her so bad, but he wasn't the kind to take advantage so he just pulled off her clothes and slipped her into one of his shirts. "My baby," he said bending down kissing her. He himself changed down to his boxers and snuggled in beside her. He placed his hand across her stomach and felt it rumple. Ichigo winced and curled on her side in a fetal position. Masaya sat up, taking in what just happened. He took it as a growl and went to sleep, not thinking of what else it could be.
At exactly 7:30 a.m. she was over the toilet throwing up again. This time, she couldn't make it back to the bed she was so weak. "Masaya," Ichigo cried, "help me!"
Her cries hit him like a knife, causing him to jump out of bed. "Ichigo?" he asked dazed, and her cry came again. "Ichigo!" He ran to the bathroom and saw her on the floor. He picked her up and carried her to the bed. "Ichigo, what's wrong?"
"The girls, they think I'm pregnant."
"What? Pregnant?" Masaya looked astounded. Ichigo was in tears. Masaya grabbed her "Ichigo, if you are, well, that's great!" He smiled.
"Really? You mean it?" She sniffled, rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, I've always wanted a baby." He held her and rocked her and kissed her on the head then moved to her neck.
He sat behind her and propped his back against the head board. He began to rub her shoulders and she gave a moan here and there. He worked down her back and she leaned forward. He moved across her stomach and she gasped. He rubbed her stomach which made her moan more. Then he pulled her shirt up and massaged her breast. He removed it and began kissing her neck.
"Oh Masaya," she whispered.
She turned on her stomach to face him and began kissing his chest and biting his nipples. The feel of her breast on his stomach made him grow hard. He scooted down laying flat on his back. Ichigo felt the hard lump form in his boxers. She reached in and began stroking it which sent him into shivers. Masaya rolled over and positioned himself on top of Ichigo. He kissed her lips and tongue wrestled with hers. He licked and sucked her breast and moved down to her vagina. He paused a second and looked up at Ichigo, she smiled at him. He went in and did a little maneuver he'd been practicing. She squirmed and squealed with delight. She let it go. Masaya grabbed her hips and shoved his face further into her. This is as far as he would go; he didn't want to take the chance of messing something up. He traced her name inside of her with his tongue for one last pleasure for Ichigo. "In the morning, I'll take you to the doctor," he said between kisses. "For now, you're going rest."
"Yes sir," she said in a mocking voice. They embraced and kissed for a while.
Masaya went to the living room and called the café and told them Ichigo was staying home. Ichigo laid in the bed, thinking about if she really was pregnant. She rubbed her stomach and smiled at the thought. Masaya fixed her breakfast and they stayed in bed all day talking about what to name the baby and what it would be when it got older. They were in heaven. All of this felt surreal. He called and set up and appointment for a pregnancy test.
The next morning Ichigo tried something Zakuro read on the internet, saltine crackers, before your feet even hit the ground. Masaya got her the crackers and they laid there for a second. She sat up slowly, paused for a second, and then made her way to the bathroom to take a shower, obviously with Masaya (he held her up). They got to the doctors office and filled out paper work and waited.
"Momomiya, Ichigo." A nurse called from behind a door. She and Masaya stood and walked back. The nurse checked her weight and vitals and smiled. "The Doctor will be right in."
Ichigo was growing impatient and nervous. Masaya stood beside her and rubbed her shoulders and back. Just then, the doctor walked in. "So Ms. Momomiya, you're fiancé said you think you're pregnant. That true?" he asked.
"Yes sir. Well, actually, a friend pointed it out. Morning sickness, mood swings and weight gain." She blushed, "and my last period was last month, and that was spotty… so, and that's when we… did it."
"I see, it sounds very likely," he said smiling. "If you would, please pull your pants to your hips and lie back. Masaya scooted to the side as the doctor advanced. The doctor pushed his hands on Ichigo's lower abdomen. "Well, I think I can feel something. Your about two months along. But just in case, I need a urine sample."
Ichigo pulled her pants up and sat up. The doctor turned and opened a cabinet, getting a small cup. "Here you are Ms. Momomiya, or I should say, soon to be Miss Aoyama." Ichigo grinned and took the cup. "Bathrooms are strait down the hall," he motioned. She came back with the cup and the doctor told them he'd call in about two weeks.
Sure enough, she was pregnant, and two months exact. She called everyone and told them the good news.
Masaya and Ichigo's family was complete now, with a baby on the way and a wedding beforehand.
