You Parenting IV

"Where do babies come from, Mama?" Youko looks up at her mother with large, curious hazel eyes.

You stops colouring her side of the drawing block to look at her daughter and consider how she should answer. "That's...sudden."

"Our classmates were talking about it." You's five-year-old tells, shuffling closer to her mum in the process to whisper loudly. "They said babies come in baskets...or a huge bird delivers them... I think that's weird so I decided to ask you."

You smiles at that, glad to know her daughter is one to seek confirmation instead of just blindly believing whatever she hears outside. On the other hand, she's wondering what the other kids are watching these days; secretly glad Youko loves going to the park with her instead of having her eyes glued to any electronic devices. "Hmm…It's really simple actually."

Youko nods enthusiastically, excited to hear from the mother she loves just how did she come about. You chuckles at the cuteness her daughter was exhibiting and ruffles Youko's hair, the auburn colour making You think of her wife. You smiles at that. "Listen closely, okay, Youko?"

Youko nods again, covering her mouth with both hands to show that she was holding her breath while waiting for the big reveal.

"When two people who really, really, reaaaaally loves each other come together…something happens here." The ash-brunette sporting a soft pink blush touches the area where her womb would be for Youko to see. Her daughter reaches out to press her small hands over her mum's.

"The stomach? I came from there?"

You lets out an amused breath of air through her nose, patting her innocent daughter's head, thinking it's alright for Youko to not know all the details just yet. "Mm-hm."

You frees her hand from her tummy to playfully pinch her daughter's cheeks, loving the whine that escapes Youko. "No telling your mummy I told you this, okay?"

"Roger!" Youko hurries to salute; something she loves to do since her really cool mama does so. You laughs heartily and bends over to nuzzle their noses together.

"Who's the most adorable baby girl in the world~?"

"Me!" Youko cheers as You lifts Youko up into the air happily, the two laughing without a care in the world.

It's been a week that Riko noticed something. She noticed that her daughter would run up to her wife many times a day to hug You and presses her ears or hands to You's stomach. Why would Youko keep doing that? Did Youko stumble onto her doujin stash and awaken to the love of muscles too? (Or more specifically – Youmuscles/Youabs)

Riko shakes her head at that train of thought. She's quite certain that she always locks up the treasure chest full of sinful books, the key placed in the third drawer with another lock and a "do not even think about opening this without permission" note stuck to it.

However, just as Riko was about to voice her queries and ask what's going on, Youko presses both hands to You's tummy, stopping the ash-brunette from walking into the master bedroom to put away the clothes. "Mama, how do we know if I'll get a brother or a sister?"

Riko's mouth drops agape faster than she ever had before. "WHAT!?"

You flinches at the exclamation coming from her usually relaxed natured wife. "Ri-"

"WHEN WAS IT CONFIRMED THAT YOU'RE PREGNANT!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME-" Her mind now racing with shock and worry, Riko rushes over to You's side to snatch away the stack of clothes You has folded and was going to keep away until Youko decided to ask about babies, again. "Why are you lifting heavy things when pregnant, You-chan! You should know better! Oh gosh…how many times did I make you do the heavy-lifting in the house…or princess carry me? Or..! When I topped you in the night… Oh dear, did I hurt the baby in any way..?"

Riko balances the folded clothes in one arm haphazardly as her other hand moves to press and rub over You's stomach, hoping that their soon-to-be child would be safe and healthy despite You's carelessness.

You sweatdrops. "No, wait. I'm not…"

Youko tugs her mum's hand and away from a freaking out Riko. "Mama?"

"Ah…" You kneels to be of the same height with her daughter and lowers her voice. "Youko…you'll know when the stomach gets bigger…" Her attempt in not letting Riko hear was futile however as her wife could hear and see crystal clear that the ash-brunette was the culprit to explaining pregnancy to their five-year-old daughter.

"You-chan!" Riko hisses in disbelief, shaking her head rapidly. Half wondering if she should get angry or calm down for the baby's sake.

You could tell that Riko was still misunderstanding so she hurries over to her wife's side and pulls Riko into a soft embrace. "Riko-chan…I'm not pregnant."

"What!?" Riko was confused.

Youko at the back frowns as she scrutinizes her mums and thought about the new information her mum just gave her. "You're taking so long, mama. Mummy will probably give me my brother first."

You flinches as she felt Riko's impending rage before it came; she could never blame her daughter for a child's words are never purposefully antagonistic.

"You-chan…" Riko's quiet tone a clear-cut indication of the brewing storm within.

You swallows. "Ah, Riko-chan…I can explain…And well, you know I still love you even when you're fat."

"I'm not fat! Ahhhh!" Riko shrieks and stomps off.

"Riko-chan!" You sighs; thinking that tonight is going to be a long night already.

Youko could tell that her mummy is upset and her mama distressed so she lowers her head apologetically. "Sorry, Mama…Is this my fault?"

You smiles softly to her daughter. "No…no it isn't. Go play on your own and go to bed after, okay, Youko? You-mama will get Riko-mummy all smiles and sweet before you know it!"

"With massages?" Youko asks innocently.

You blushes at that but gives Youko a thumbs up. "With massages."

"Massages" works like a charm as Riko tries to grant her daughter's wish of having a sibling. You is just happy that her wife is happy again. Anything for the two people she loves most in the world.

Author Notes

Wow. It's not easy being You-chan sometimes. Hahas. XD

But I really love the dynamic of this happy family. Fun, reliable You-mama. Caring, possessive and GuiltyTM Riko-mummy. And, curious, child-like, yet relatively mature Youko~

You Parenting is my secret indulgence. ;D

P.S. Shoutout to Magiclapras for giving me the idea of Youko asking "Where do babies come from" ^w^
