So here u go. Another exciting chapter………yea. Anyway this chapter I think is probably the most obvious one that I hav…I mean come on! Sry if ur someone who didn't catch on.

Chapter 5: I'm What?

It had been a couple of weeks since Kyo's proposal and Tohru's acceptance. They had all of the wedding plans down, with the chapel and invites and cake and everything. They had also looked for a house nearby, so Kyo could get to work at the dojo easily. Kazuma didn't seem to mind, he was just worried that he wouldn't have anyone to cook for him anymore. When Tohru heard this, she insisted that she cook for him, while Kyo would be teaching the children. Then Kyo and Tohru would walk home together, taking with them the leftovers for their own dinner.

Everything seemed to be going on great, except for the fact that Tohru made a couple runs to the bathroom everyday. Kyo was determined to find out what she was hiding. One day, while Tohru was in the bathroom, Kyo opened the door on her sneakily and found her vomiting into the toilet.

Tohru looked up at him, shocked that her secret had been found out. "Kyo!"

Kyo knelt down beside her, turned his head away while she vomited, and rubbed her back gently.

Once she was done with washing out her mouth, they sat on their bed and Tohru told Kyo the whole story. The truth was she didn't want him to worry about her, that it was probably just a passing sickness, and it had been happening ever since he proposed. Tohru was a wreck and Kyo suggested they go to Hatori. Even though he wasn't the Sohma doctor anymore, he still took house calls for friends and so-called family. Tohru agreed with Kyo, not seeing how the problem would get any better if they didn't tell someone.


"Alright, now, breath," Hatori instructed in his usual emotionless tone.

Tohru inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Again?"

Hatori nodded. Tohru repeated. Kyo was waiting outside their room, fiddling with a loose string on his shirt. Hatori had come early and was surprised to see Tohru again, especially in a new house living with Kyo. But of course, Hatori never showed expressions so no one could really tell what he was feeling.

Hatori came out of the room, nodded his head at Kyo, as if to say, "Everything's fine. Go ahead in", walked to his car and drove off. Kyo went into the room to see Tohru sitting on the pane, looking out the window.

"Well, what did he say? What's the matter?" Kyo sounded anxious.

Tohru turned her head towards Kyo and beamed at him. "Oh, Kyo! It's so wonderful!" she clapped her hands together.

"What is?"

"Kyo………I'm pregnant!" Tohru beamed brighter and hugged Kyo tightly.

"You're cough what?" Kyo gasped loudly, trying to escape Tohru's hard grip. She was choking him with excitement.

"Pregnant!" Tohru put her hands in her lap. Then she looked into Kyo's eyes. "Eh? Do you…not want a child, Kyo?"

"What? No! No! No! That's not…" Kyo was too shocked to speak.

"No? You don't?"

"No! No! I mean yes! I do, but I… It's just so…so…sudden! I mean…" Kyo calmed down. "What I am trying to say is…I'm happy! Truly happy."

Tohru's eyes started to water. "Oh Kyo! You're going to be a daddy!" she hugged him again, this time with a loosened grip.

"Like I've always wanted…" Kyo smiled and hugged her back, gingerly. "So I guess he's still little huh?"

"What makes you think it's a he? And yes, it's very, very small," Tohru placed her hands on her hips, but smiled.

"Well, what do you know? It could be a boy!" Kyo stood up, looking down on her, and teased.

"It also could be a girl!" Tohru strained her neck to reach his height, even on her tip-toes. But he was still taller.

"And how would you know that?"

"I'm the mother! I think I can tell. I just have instincts!" Tohru suddenly lost balance and tripped over her own feet. Luckily, Kyo grabbed her before she hit the ground.

"Pfft! Some instincts!" Kyo laughed. He picked her up.

"I'll just have to be more careful!" Tohru laughed, blushing.

Kyo just smiled. "Okay, I think it's time to go to the dojo. The kids are probably waiting outside the door as usual." They started walking down the dirt road.

"Are we going to tell Kazuma about…the…uh…?"

"The baby?" Kyo finished for her.

"Right, the baby. It sounds so…weird coming from my mouth I guess. But, are we going to tell anyone?" Tohru questioned.

"You can decide. I personally would wait to tell and just avoid all of the commotion, but that could lead to people asking why we didn't tell them first. It's too complicated for me and I'm not the one having the child. But maybe for the first few months we should keep the secret. And don't forget, we're not married yet, so that might start some problems. But I'll let you make the decision," Kyo explained his very long opinion.

"I agree with you about the first few months, but won't people be able to tell, even if we don't tell them?" Tohru thoughts were full of worries and what if's.

"You know, we could just play it by ear, and no one would suspect a thing. Not yet, anyways," Kyo put his hands behind his head. And that's where the conversation ended.

Sure enough, the children were at the dojo bright and early and started to cheer as the couple came up the road. The children ran towards them, took their arms and pulled them back towards the dojo, where they could finally start training for their next martial arts competition. It was still a few months away, but the children wanted to start training immediately, repeating over and over that they wanted their team to be the best and win.

So there u go! I kno it was really obvious, but I've told u! Tohru's pregnant. :)

So plz review and if I get good reviews I'll update a lot over the break (I get a break and a week off finally!) and this kid's tournament thing, it never comes up again! Sry. I had no desire to put the children back into the story. I found no need. O well!
