Chapter 2: Eavesdropping Conversations

Princess Sango

Tohru sighed as she set out breakfast, and then went to go wake up Yuki, who seemed tired most of the time. Running up the stairs and walking into Yuki's room, she noticed Yuki was whimpering in his sleep. Kneeling over him, she leaned down and planted a kiss on his forehead and moved down to his eyes before they fluttered open. Jolting upright, he knocked Tohru to the ground. When Yuki realized there was in no danger, he saw Tohru on the floor and panicked, "Tohru, are you okay?"

Tohru regained her composure and smiled, "No, I'm fine; I must have startled you because I woke you up with me so close to your face. Yuki, you look quite pale, are you sure you're okay?"

Yuki smiled at Tohru, "I'm fine Tohru, and I just had a nightmare."

Tohru sat back on the edge of the bed, "About what, please tell me Yuki."

Yuki looked away and said nothing but then smiled at Tohru before standing up, "I'll be fine; it was just a nightmare, nothing to worry about Tohru. So breakfast is ready?"

Tohru smiled at him, "Hai, breakfast is ready Yuki-kun, but I still have to wake Shigure-san and Shishou-san, since he did stay last night. I'll see you at breakfast." Walking out of Yuki's room she knocked on Shigure's room and heard a muffled groan along with feet walking across the floor. Opening the door Shigure's face lightened, "Shigure-san, breakfast is ready."

Giving her a smile he nodded, "Yes, I'll be right there, just let me clean myself up a little."

Tohru nodded before going into the guest room, which once was Kyo's and knocked on the door, "Shishou-san, breakfast is ready, if feel free to sleep in if you wish." No answer came to her so she just went back to the kitchen where the two other men were sitting at the table, having a small conversation which Tohru could only guess. She hid herself behind the door and then watched, listening to as much as she could.

"…no Shigure, it's not Tohru…."

"…what do you mean, you and Tohru are in love that's your…."

"I know but it's this damn curse that makes me feel this way about…"

At this moment, Tohru decided to come inside at that moment, "Um, was I interrupting something?"

Shigure gave Tohru a smile, "No, not at all Tohru. I heard you're pregnant, how does it feel?"

Tohru blushed and looked down at her stomach, "I'm still getting used to the fact that I'm having a child, but I still feel like me." Sitting down in between the two men she started serving them rice and some soup and smiled as they said thanks before they started to eat. Looking up she smiled at the two men and then continued eating.

"Tohru, did you tell Kazuma to come down?" asked Shigure.

Tohru nodded her head, "He didn't answer, so I guess he was sleeping in."

Shigure gave a small smile, "He took the news hard, and he was so upset when he went to bed."

Tohru sighed, "Maybe I should go comfort him later…"

Shigure ruffled her hair like she was a little kid, "That would surely cheer him up."

Tohru smiled at Shigure and noticed she had just started feeling sick, "If you would…" She got up from her place at the table and ran directly into the bathroom, throwing up everything she had just eaten. Coughing up the last bit of vomit in her mouth she took some toilet paper, wiped what surrounded her mouth, then flushed it away.

Hearing the door open she saw Yuki standing in the doorway, "Yuki, I'm fine now, nothing to worry about."

Yuki smiled at her, "That's good to hear Tohru; I just was startled by the way you bolted up like that."

Tohru gave an appreciative smile before picking up an extra toothbrush that was lying around for her convenience and started brushing her teeth. "Hatori warned me this was going to happen, and it's going to get even worse as the months roll by. Like, soon I'll have weird cravings and morning sickness, but I'll get through with it. I just love the prospect that I'm going to have child, so I can get through these seven months."

Yuki gave her a small smile, "I'm glad you'll endure these seven months for our child."

Tohru smiled genuinely and nodded, "It was our love that created this child, and it's what's going to help me through these seven months, and afterwards, we'll both be able to take care of this child, right Yuki?"

"Right…" Yuki answered, looking away with a look of guilt on his face.
