"Do we have to go?!" Misaki groaned, stuffing her head in a pillow. She was 5 months pregnant, and her hormones were all over the place.

"Yeah, we do. I'm sorry, baby, I know how uncomfortable you are. Trust me, I don't want to go either," Takumi replied, opening the curtains to let the sunlight creep in. The couple was enjoying a nice day in bed until they had to get up and face reality.

Misaki let out a huff of annoyance. School has been making her extremely exhausted and irritable, plus she was definitely showing. There was no more hiding the big, plump bump on her belly.

Takumi walked towards the bathroom before Misaki raced passed him, claiming the bathroom first before slamming the door on his face.

"Sorry, had to pee!" She yelled, her voice slightly muffled. Takumi shook his head and cracked a small smile. "I mean, I did too but whatever you want," he muttered.

It was 3pm and the couple had to go on a 3 hour drive to go to a business party for Takumi's grandfather. It was going to be a big ordeal; people from all over the world from other prestigious companies were flying in for this party, and his grandfather had made it a big deal to mention to everyone that the heir of their company is having a child of their own. Now, they were highly anticipated guests. "I don't know how to feel about all this. I don't want people to look at me when my body is all... Ugly. Worst timing ever!" Misaki complained as she curled her hair at her vanity and put on makeup.

"Your body is most definitely not ugly. I happen to think you look radiant," Takumi unsurprisingly replied back at her before bending down to give her baby bump a kiss and turning away to change.

"Of course you do. You have to think that or else I'd probably kill you because of my raging hormones."

Takumi laughed. "True that." Finishing her makeup, Misaki put on her dress, with utmost struggle, and stared at herself in the mirror. "You can see my huge belly! Dear god, I'm only 5 months and I'm humongous! Is that even normal?!"

"Misaki, we just saw the doctor last week. It's completely normal, now stop stressing about your belly. Our child is in there," Takumi pat her head like she was a kid throwing a tantrum.

Heading off, but not before Misaki complaining some more and Takumi making sure that she had everything she needed, including the million pillows she needed in order to feel comfortable in the car. The driver sped off and Takumi helped Misaki lay down and get comfortable. "Okay crankypants, go back to sleep and I'll wake you up when we're there."

"Thanks!" Misaki fell asleep within minutes and Takumi just laid his head against the window and stared at her. He didn't like showing it, but he truly worried about her so much. Whenever she wasn't looking or when she was asleep, he felt his face scrunch in worry.

He knew she was having a hard time. It's 100% understandable, she's pregnant at such a young age while still juggling school and work. She didn't show it too often, besides for the regular hormonal complaints, but at times he saw her mask go down and her lips curve into a small frown, her eyes droop, and face get a little paler. She didn't have anyone to relate to, much less another pregnant woman that she could hang out with to feel less like the world is against her. After 5 minutes of debating, Takumi decided that he would sign Misaki up for a pregnancy class. It wouldn't hurt anyone; she'd learn new information and hopefully connect to other pregnant women.

Since they were riding in a limo, there were two seats opposite each other. Takumi decided to sit on the floor next to Misaki since she took up the whole seat. He leaned against the pillow that her head was against and grabbed her hand that was in front of him before giving it a light kiss. He couldn't wait until the night was over, because that meant that they could go home and sleep and when they'd wake up they'd go to the doctor to find out the gender.

Before he knew it, he had fallen into the world of sleep as well.

By the time they reached the mansion, it was nearly 7 and everyone was already there since it started at 6.

"So many people," Misaki muttered, squeezing his hand tighter and slightly cowered behind Takumi as pictures were being taken as they walked into the house. They entered a grand ballroom filled with people dressed in formal and elegant clothing. People were chatting happily amongst themselves while classical music played in the background.

Many people greeted Takumi and Misaki as they walked past them and went to their seats. Once they sat down, nearly a few seconds later waiters approached them with wine and water. Takumi raised his eyebrow slightly when he saw her pick up her glass of wine but stopped when he saw her place it in front of him instead. "You can have it, I obviously can't." Misaki took a sip of her water and used the menu in front of her as a fan.

"Are you okay? It's perfect room temperature in here," Takumi asked, grabbing his own menu to fan her.

"Yeah, just a little drowsy and sluggish again," Misaki replied, leaning back in her seat lazily.

"It was probably the long car ride. You need food, how does pasta sound?"

"Heavenly."

They ordered their food and when it came Misaki basically inhaled her food. Her 5th month meant a hearty appetite, and she for sure is a prime example. Misaki always seemed to be hungry, and Takumi was constantly making sure she was making good eating choices. Just as they finished their food, they were escorted towards the stage area to join Takumi's grandfather so they could be introduced to the party guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am so pleased that you all could make it today," Applause followed. "As you all know, my grandson, Takumi, who is the heir of our company whenever I pass, is here today. But not only is he present but his wife, Misaki, has also graced us with her presence and brought along my great-grandchild in her womb. If you all would join me in giving them a warm welcome," Grandfather turned to the couple and clapped, as did everyone else in the room. They have kind smiled to everyone in the crowd, ignoring the flashing lights that were undeniably photographers. "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Walker. May this child bring you further blessings. To the Walkers!" He raised his wine glass towards the couple and everyone else followed foot, repeating "to the walkers" before sipping their wine.

Misaki and Takumi raised their glasses before taking a sip, Misaki drinking water instead of wine. The music began playing again and they were able to go back to their table after they greeted grandfather personally. "I'm stuffed!" Misaki exclaimed, resting her hands on her bulging belly.

Takumi suddenly got up from his seat, making Misaki stare up at him. He held his hand out towards her and tilted his head to the side with a soft smile adorning his face. "Dance with me?"

Despite Misaki's discomfort and exhaustion, she beamed at him before accepting his hand and let him pull her up before leading her to the dance floor. Thankfully, a slow song was playing so all they did was sway. Misaki wrapped her arms around Takumi's neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck. Takumi wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her tightly to him.

"Are you excited? For tomorrow?" Misaki asked softly.

"Extremely. I can't wait to see our baby girl again," Takumi replied. He heard Misaki scoff almost instantly and he could tell that she was rolling her eyes even though he couldn't see her face.

"Who says that it's a girl? It could be a boy."

"We've had this argument already. I have a strong feeling that it's going to be daddy's princess."

Misaki could basically imagine the fat grin on Takumi's face as he said this, in turn making her smile slightly too.

"If you say so. Just don't be disappointed if we have a mommy's prince." Misaki shrugged.

"I would never be disappointed. Daddy's princess and daddy's little man. Both sound beautiful to me," Takumi said before kissing the top of her head.

The Walker couple walked out of the hospital, hands intertwined together and a wide smile graced on both their faces.

"I can't believe we finally found out the gender of our child. It just feels all too real now!" Misaki exclaimed.

Takumi just nodded his head, his white teeth up for show. He couldn't wipe the grin off of his face. All he wanted was to meet his child!

Misaki glanced at his smiling face and felt her eyes crinkle in adoration. Takumi truly was excited for their child and that couldn't make her happier. "We can finally get baby stuff! What color should we pick for the theme of the room?" Misaki asked him and Takumi finally found the words to speak.

"Definitely not the typical colors. I think something that's gender neutral, like a sunset orange or pastel green.

"Oh I love that! It's unique. Lets go ahead and buy the paint today and whatever we need to decorate the room. This is going to be so fun!" Misaki clapped her hands in excitement.

Takumi swooped in and suddenly gave Misaki a kiss. "What was that for?" Misaki asked, her cheeks slightly red.

"To thank you for giving me a family. I know that this isn't easy for you, but you're such a champion. Our baby is going to be so lucky to have a mother like you. I'm not sure if I'll be a great father, since I have nothing to reference to, but I'm sure with having you as my partner I'll learn. I'm so thankful for our family, I wish days like these never ended." Takumi let out, making Misaki tear up and shove his shoulder teasingly.

"You'll be a great father. I know it. And you know that I'd never let you be anything less than amazing to our child. We're a team, I got your back!" They both high-fived each other before getting in the car to begin shopping for the baby.

Their future begins here.

THE END!
