After I finished dressing I returned to the office to find Yoshitsune already waiting and with a smile he flew over to me, kissing my cheek before he pushed a cup into my hands.
"What's this?" I asked him, looking down at a light pink liquid and he grinned as I raised it close to my nose, taking a deep breath. "Huh it smells like strawberries."
"It's that flower I told you about remember? The one which can make sure you have a human baby. Or babies." He explained and with a slight smile I raised it towards my lips. Swallowing the entire contents I smiled at the taste and he grinned at me, taking the empty cup from my hands.
"You sure this will work? I mean I am already pregnant." I asked after he set the cup down on Narumi's desk and Yoshitsune nodded, walking in front of me before he gently placed a hand on my slightly curved stomach.
"Definitely, Jean. It's worked on other women over the years even after they're pregnant." Yoshitsune agreed, running his palms up and down my stomach. "Besides I'm sure that Narumi would like to have a son or daughter to raise."
"I want that too but the last time I got my hopes up it didn't happen. I mean I'm happy that Lyka and my daughters are going to live together but it would have been wonderful to raise them myself." I answered in a small voice and Yoshitsune climbed to his feet. I blinked when he pulled me into his arms and after a pause I wrapped my arms around his waist enjoying the hug he gave me. "Thanks, Yoshitsune."
"You're very welcome but I promise that this time you'll have a baby you can raise. The morning sickness is new for you though." Yoshitsune commented and I snorted, rubbing my stomach. "That's three times isn't it?"
"Not that I want to be reminded but I have been feeling queasy lately. At first I thought it might have been something I ate not agreeing with me but when I noticed that I'd put on weight I put two and two together. The slight curve of my stomach kind of gives it away though." I replied as I walked towards the couch, helped into it by Yoshitsune even though I was more than capable of sitting all on my own.
"It's only a slight curve but it doesn't matter. You're pregnant by a week which isn't surprising since you and Narumi have been pretty active lately." Yoshitsune told me, laughing when my cheeks turned a bright red.
"Is that your roundabout way of saying we've been mating like animals?" Narumi answered as he walked through the doorway fixing his tie and I nodded, still sporting two very red cheeks. Getting a nod from my demon Narumi just grinned at me crossing the room before he planted a kiss on the top of my head. "Hey I was intentionally trying to get Jean pregnant this time."
"Of course that's the only reason you've been so attentive to me." I snorted and Narumi laughed, draping an arm around my shoulders and I smiled when he kissed my cheek. "Still I enjoyed every single minute of it."
"That was the idea, babe. But it worked didn't it?" Narumi chuckled and I nodded, watching with a smirk when he ran his left hand over my stomach.
"As everyone can see." I replied, rolling my eyes at him. "Now how about making your pregnant girlfriend something to eat?"
"Of course, Jean. I was thinking that we could use some of the money you received from that case on a nice lunch." Narumi suggested and I nodded, already going over the menu in my head. Noting the smile I had Narumi and Yoshitsune exchanged a grin which I noticed though I decided not to comment.
We arrived at the restaurant less than half an hour later and after Yoshitsune helped me into a seat, earning us some odd looks, I picked up a menu scanning it for several seconds before I smiled at Narumi. "Soba noodles right, Jean?" Narumi asked and I nodded, setting down the menu as Yoshitsune looked on amused. "How about you, Yoshitsune?"
"Same for me. Thanks, Narumi." Yoshitsune agreed and I grinned when we all ended up ordering the same. Later on I wiped my mouth, feeling pleasantly full and as I leaned back slightly in my chair Narumi smiled at me. "That was a great meal." He commented and I nodded as I climbed from my seat. Taking me by the hand Narumi walked the few blocks back to the agnecy and as Yoshitsune flew alongside us I let out a breath, causing both men to stare at me.
"Sorry just feeling a little light-headed." I apologized and Narumi squeezed my hand, looking at me until I cleared my throat. "I'll be fine, guys. I might take a nap when we get home." I suggested and Narumi nodded though I noticed a look of concern pass between him and Yoshitsune before we resumed the short walk back to the agency.
We arrived back in time to find Raidou and Gouto already there and once they saw Narumi holding my hand Raidou gave me a smile and a nod. "There you three are. We came back here an hour ago." Gouto commented, curled up on the desk and Narumi snorted at the cat as he leapt down.
"We just went to get lunch." Narumi replied, running his free hand through his curly locks. "And I'm explaining myself to a cat. Perfect."
"It's alright, Gouto. I've been staying inside a lot lately and Narumi suggested I get out for some fresh air and sunshine." I explained, releasing my grip on Narumi's hand and after I walk the short distance to the couch I sit heavily. As I lean back Gouto looked over at Narumi who crossed his arms looking at the cat who padded over to me.
"Something wrong with Jean, Gouto?" Raidou asked, curious and after staring directly at me for a few seconds Gouto chuckled.
"Narumi, did you get Jean pregnant again?" Gouto commented and Raidou's eyes widen as I fight back a snigger at the look of shock on the younger summoner's face. Then Raidou can't help himself and he grinned at me amused as I looked over at Yoshitsune my demon with a big grin on his face.
"She went into heat and I couldn't help myself. Not that it's any of your business, Gouto." Narumi grumbled as the cat padded over to him next, staring up at my boyfriend with his head tilted to one side. "Anyway Jean didn't mind. Ask her yourself."
"It's true, Gouto. I started going into heat again a few weeks ago and it just sort of happened. I think I spend more time being pregnant than I do being a summoner." I agreed and that set Narumi off and he started to chuckle only to start really laughing when Yoshitsune rolled his eyes, a faint smile on my demon's face.
A few days later I rolled over in the bed we shared and Narumi gave me a sleepy smile, draping an arm around my waist as I snugged against his chest. "Morning, babe." He yawned and I let out a breath burying my head into his chest and he chuckled. "Not feeling up to talking huh?"
"Still sleepy and warm." I mumbled, eyes closing and he snorted as I draped my arm around his waist this time. "Don' wanna wake up yet."
"Me too but I have to open the agency. You on the other hand can sleep as much as you want." Narumi answered and I sighed as he gave me a one-armed hug, reluctantly shifting away when I tried to keep Narumi in bed. "Sorry, babe but I have to work." Narumi added and after a pause I felt something warm spread over me.
"Mm...thanks, Narumi." I mumbled as I pulled the blanket around me and Narumi chuckled at the sight of only my head poking out. Kneeling he ran his fingers through my hair and I closed my eyes not knowing that I'd fallen asleep until I woke to find Yoshitsune standing at my bedside.
Once he saw I was awake, more or less anyway, he grinned at me. Kneeling he waited as I struggled to sit yawning as I did. "I was wondering how long you were gonna sleep, Jean." He commented as I scratched the top of my head, still half asleep and his grin grew. "Sure you're up for the day?" He teased as I pushed myself to my feet, pulling the blanket around me before I stumbled in the general direction of the bathroom.
After using the toilet I stumbled under the shower-head not even looking over as Yoshitsune leaned against the wall, grinning as I started the shower. I had barely finished running the water as hot as I could when I felt his hand on my shoulder and I blinked as he gently stripped me.
"What exactly are you doing, Yoshitsune?" I asked and he just grinned tugging me into a hug. "Oh okay."
"I just thought you could use some attention while Narumi's busy opening the agency." Yoshitsune answered, helping me under the shower and I just nodded, secretly pleased as he helped wash my body. After drying myself with a fresh towel I dressed in a white shirt and a pair of skirt, silently hoping that I wouldn't have to shop for bigger shirts for a while. "I think it'll be a while until that shirt doesn't fit you anymore." He added, unable to resist placing a hand on my growing middle.
"I hope so." I replied, intertwining my fingers through his before we walked into the office.
