Despite wanting to just call his boss and say, "Fuck it- I'm taking a vacation." Toshi still somehow managed to peel himself from Shayera's side and head off to work on time. And once there, despite his giddiness about the prospect of becoming a father- he quietly went about his usual work routine.

Politely greeted his friends and co-workers. Made himself some coffee, grabbed something from the cafeteria to eat for breakfast after he broke up three all out brawls between some kids, and was understandably fucking ravenously hungry afterwards. Once he finished off his breakfast, he made his way to his office with another cup of coffee in hand and closed himself away promising himself to do something productive with his day.

Once he had himself settled and was logged into his work designated laptop and the moment that the screen popped up and was ready for work- it was like something hi-jacked his brain. And the next thing he knew he was purchasing baby furniture and toys for the vision of the nursery already dancing around in his head.

Since it would be some time before he knew the babies gender, he decided to be smart and go with gender neutral stuff. And bought things in creams, light mint greens, and soft yellows. The crib, baby bed, dresser, toy box, and small wooden rocking horse that he purchased for his future son or daughter were all from the most expensive store in the city.

Each one was made of solid white cherry wood oak that was carefully carved, and painted to perfection.

They were such wonderful pieces that Toshi felt his eyes tear up some just from looking at the pictures of them all online and imagining the little one that was part of him and equal part Shayera napping, dancing around the crib once he/she learned to stand, riding his/her rocking horse with a huge grin on his/her little angelic face.

Once he finished purchasing the items and emailed some very specific delivery details so that he could keep Shay from seeing them just yet, he then went to a local floral shop's site and bought his Shayera a beautiful bouquet or two of white tiger lilies, red tulips, lavender, and blue cosmos that would be delivered to his home in an hour's time.

After which he went to another site and bought her a gorgeous evening gown and some accessories- also to be delivered within the hour and last but not least, made dinner reservations at a nice restaurant uptown that had not only some of the best food in the city, but a place that served as a dance floor.

He was taking his girl out tonight and wining (with non-alcoholic drinks- there would be no drunken babies in his home, thank you very much) and dining her. And after she was stuffed full of delicious food- he fully intended to lead her out to the dance floor and dance with her until they were both dizzy and laughing like lunatics for everyone to see.

Once he was done doing all of that, Toshi checked the time and noted that he had been at it most of the day. School would let out in another two in a half hours or so.

Which was both sort of right on time, he supposed since it would give the flowers, dress and accessories time to be delivered.

He decided to wait about an hour in a half to text her his big plans for the evening so that she would have time to start getting ready before he got home and cleaned himself up and found a better suit to wear for their big date.

Shay woke up that morning feeling nauseous and dizzy and carefully climbed out of bed so that she could stagger her way into the bathroom and just barely managed to make it before her knees hit the floor and she found herself puking into the nearest thing.

Which as it turned out- was the bathroom garbage can since she hadn't quite made it to the toilet before her legs had given out on her.

She spent the better part of fifteen minutes vomiting up whatever was in her stomach before the dry heaving started and then after another ten minutes of being ill, while silently crying and wondering if she was dying or something.

Honestly she had never felt so sick before in her life!

It took a few extra minutes to make sure that her nausea abated had some before she promptly shoved the garbage can away from her face and slowly got to her feet to wash her face and brush her teeth.

While a pounding headache formed somewhere behind her eyes as she shuffled herself out of the bathroom once she was done and promptly collapsed back on the bed and curled up to sleep a little bit longer due to feeling exhausted from being sick so abruptly.

She didn't wake again until around noon-ish, give or take, after which she somehow managed to get up and go about her usual routine without anymore problems from her stomach. Which she found just a tad bit weird but still shrugged off as a one time thing.

After showering and dressing, she made herself some nice tomato soup and four grilled cheeses- the smell of cooking food making her oddly ravenously hungry. After that was done she sat down at the dinning room table and slowly ate her food before then putting her dirty dishes in the sink and going into the living room to grab her laptop so that she could do some work online since she hadn't opened her shop since her mother's death.

After finding that she had several dozen items in need of shipping, she decided to leave the house for a little bit to go and do that. It shouldn't take her more than two in a half hours and then she could grab a milkshake or something on the way home and then once done with her frozen treat she would get rid of the evidence so that Toshi wouldn't feel left out.

Though something told her that the last time she'd done so- he'd known anyways. There had simply been something about his smile that had made his blue eyes glitter with mirth. Almost as if he were quietly laughing at her for trying to be sneaky around him.

In her defense though, there was more than just the feeling of trying not to make him feel left out that spurred her actions on. The kisses he gave her when he had that look on his face were something truly mind blowing and addictive. And she would be lying if she said that she didn't like them at all.

Closing her computer and then setting it aside on the couch, she got up and took a moment to stretch before shuffling off to grab her house key, wallet, and slip on her shoes and then left the house. Once outside, she went to the garage since she was still a little bit wiped from getting sick earlier and grabbed the key of one of Toshi's less flashy and expensive cars and got behind the wheel knowing that he wouldn't mind.

Several moments later she was on the road leading into town when she saw the first delivery van coming up the road towards the house with several others directly behind it.

Frowning for a moment, she wondered if she should turn around and go back to the house. She could after all ask Toshi if he would mind driving her into town later to prepare the shipments. So it wasn't like it wasn't going to get done one way or another.

But since he would probably be tired after work, she felt it was for the best to do things herself while she had the time. Then she would return back home, slip into something nice and cook him a wonderful dinner since he would undoubtedly be hungry upon his return.

Followed by a nice back rub if he wanted/needed one later on to help him relax.

Turns out that preparing the shipments and sending them out didn't take her as long as she thought that they would, only a hour in a half, give or take. And once done she decided to forego her frozen goody and simply head home since it was almost time for Toshi to get off of work.
