Rock the Cradle
Chapter 9
It was another day for an appointment check up at the infirmary as Akabane was this time inside the infirmary with Sayaka for an ultrasound as she was in her second trimester. Hoping it wouldn't take too long as there was a festival that was happening throughout the day that he wanted to take Sayaka to as a surprise. Once the doctor got the machine warmed up, gel was tuned gently on Sayaka's stomach and then used the little marker to rub the gel in to get a vision of the baby where the picture would come crystal clear in on the monitor. Once Akabane saw the little fetus that was his child on the screen, he couldn't help but smile softly as he stayed by Sayaka's side and comforted her.
"Miss Hirano and Mr. Kuroudo, right there is your baby." the doctor commented, taking screenshots, "And I think I may have a clear idea on what the gender might be."
"Really?" Sayaka asked as she looked over at Akabane with a smile.
"When exactly is her due date?" Akabane questioned.
"Well… seeing she's currently at 15 weeks, and it's mid May. She will be due November 6th." The doctor cleared her throat, "Now… would you like to know the gender of the baby?"
Sayaka and Akabane looked at each other for a moment in wonderment before looking back over at the doctor.
"We are curious, but please don't announce it to everyone in the Organization as Akabane-kun and I want it to be a surprise." Sayaka commented with seriousness.
"Yes, ma'am."
Sayaka smiled as her due date was the same month as Akabane's birthday month. She looked over at him and smiled, "And Akabane-kun, so exciting that our child will have the same birthday month as you."
Akabane smiled with a chuckle while the doctor wrote the gender down for him and Sayaka to read and keep a secret. It read that they were having a boy, a future heir to the organization, and a powerful fighter. Akabane and Sayaka had also talked with the doctor about an at-home birth as requested. It was quite a bit of a process, but it wasn't long until they had both left the infirmary and were heading towards where Jasper was waiting for them by the limo. He opened the door for the both of them to get inside the limo,
"How did it go?" Jasper asked with curiosity.
"It went quite well, thank you Jasper." Sayaka answered after getting in with Akabane.
Once they were both in, Jasper closed the door and got into the driver's seat of the limo. He started up the car, waiting for instruction from Sayaka or Akabane.
"Where am I heading off to?" Jasper asked.
"To the Sanja Spring Festival." Akabane answered with a smile, "I want to have a little date with my beautiful lady."
Sayaka's face turned bright red as Akabane had surprised her by taking her to a spring festival, "A-Akabane-kun…"
"Let's just say it's a little celebration for us." Akabane chuckled.
Sayaka smiled wide as she gave Akabane a big hug along with a kiss, "Thank you, Akabane-kun."
Once arriving at the festival, there were lots of people, food, vendors, and entertainment. Sayaka hadn't experienced being at a festival in a very long time, especially when for the most part around crowds she had to keep very composed. However, she enjoyed celebrating this moment with Akabane. Moreover, she really was enjoying the smells of all the types of food as her cravings weee kicking in. She looked over and saw a vendor that was selling cotton candy along with other sweets.
"Oh look, Akabane-kun, cotton candy!" Sayaka commented with a grin, "Let's get some!"
Akabane chuckled with a smile as he took Sayaka's hand, "Lead me there then."
"Yaay!" She smiled like a little kid in a candy store, and took Akabane over to the booth.
Meanwhile, at one of the gaming booths, Ban and Ginji were hoping to get some business to rank in some money for food. While Ban was trying to pass out flyers to everyone about their recovery service, Ginji was looking around on the ground for some loose change.
"Hey come on, folks! We're at a near 100% success rate of getting back what has been lost or stolen!" Ban commented trying to pass out flyers before he noticed Ginji, "Ginji! Will you stop slacking?!"
"I was just looking for some loose change, Ban, or at least for a scrap of food." Ginji answered
"Dammit, Ginji! Stop whining!"
"Oh come on, Ban, can we at least take on some part time work here, just enough to fill my hungry tummy?"
However, before they could continue bickering, they both noticed Akabane and Sayaka walking and eating some cotton candy. The two of them were enjoying themselves. Ginji began flailing as he hid behind Ban.
"B-Ban… what are they doing here?" Ginji asked in fear.
"I dunno, but we're about to find out.." Ban added in as he and Ginji began tailing behind Akabane and Sayaka.
In the meantime, Sayaka and Akabane were at a knick knack booth, looking at some of the souvenirs.
"Akabane-kun, how do you feel about matching Jade bracelets?" Sayaka commented
"I have no objections to that." He answered as he wanted to make sure Sayaka was happy.
After paying for the bracelets, Akabane ended up putting Sayaka's on her wrist. After tying it, Sayaka did the same to him. Once turning around to leave the booth, they both noticed Ban and Ginji following them. Ginji flailed as he saw the two of them.
"Ahhhh… Akabane and Sayaka!" He freaked out as he continued flailing.
"Well well, pleasure seeing you two here, my dear Get Backers." Akabane smiled as he adjusted his hat with a smile.
Ban growled, "What, so you two monsters are going to bring hell to a festival now?!"
"My my, quite jumpy are you, Ban Midou?"
"For your information, we're just here to have a good time before the birth of our child." Sayaka added in.
"Please, your definition of fun is slaughtering innocent bodies." Ginji commented as he had his defenses up.
"Some parenting you both will bring." Ban added sarcastically.
"Well… you boys are lucky that I am out of commission to fight because if I weren't, I wouldn't mind enjoying a little entertainment." Sayaka said as she made a face.
Akabane chuckled as he was enjoying the conversation, "Well believe what you want, but do me a favor and save this fight for another time. Besides, I enjoy fighting you at your full power. It's much more fun."
With that said, he and Sayaka turned to leave, waving at Ban and Ginji. Sayaka looked back and winked at them for fun. Ban clenched his fists as he was starting to get frustrated.
"Letting me go?! You both don't know who you're messing with, I'm Ban Midou!" Ban called out to them.
