~Chapter 15~

Reporting to her office, walking down the familiar hall greeted by familiar people they are also used to see the couple walking the same pace and path.

A month have passed since they got wed, still, no one noticed the ring they are wearing and their status.

When another official entered her office to ask some permission, Misaki wondered why she was carrying a huge pad that looks like a maternal like strap for pregnant women but has weights in it.

Usui entering the office carrying some files sent to him, he now has his own desk beside the window, putting his file on his desk, "Sir, can you put this on?" looking at the strap.

"Excuse me?" looking at it with shock.

"The government is setting new programs for men to understand and appreciate pregnant women around Japan as a program" Misaki said and the lady nodded.

"And the department chose some high ranking official to do it" she snickered.

"And I'm one of them?" Usui said in horror.

"Aw… just amuse me" Misaki joked.

"Is this mandatory?" he asked.

"Yes, sir" replied by the lady, "Even the Prime Minister had worn one" she stifled.

"Fine then" he sighed as the lady strapped it around his combat uniform clad body.

As he started to work around, even the great Usui Takumi had a hard time moving around, especially bending and walking down stairs, Misaki however was really amused to see him secretly struggle.

"I guess I'll be really careful and attentive when you carry our baby" he suddenly said while they were having lunch, "I can't sit comfortably and I must say this thing is heavy"

"Well, they designed that to be realistic, the same weight as a child growing" Misaki took bite on Usui's food.

"Love, are you alright?" he asked.

"Why?"

"Well, this past few days you hated to eat your favorite food and it seemed you took a liking to all the food I eat" he wondered.

"I didn't notice" she continued.

"Shall we get you checked?" he asked worriedly.

"That won't be necessary" munching on his fries.

"I'm still getting you one" Usui took out his phone and called some of his men to prepare and make appointments.

"You're a stubborn one" Misaki sighed.

After lunch Usui needs to give the files to the Prime Minister containing the list of the people he recommended, as he gone out the place the ladies that works for Misaki stifled their laughter at his state, when Usui turned.

"TAKUUUMI!" burst by a blonde man in suit, "That in the Queen's name are you wearing?!" he asked.

"None of your business" he grumbled.

"WAHAHAH! WHAT THE HELL!" as his own brother took photos of his stte, "I'm sending this to mom!" he laughed.

"You won't dare!"

"Try me" he said in a singsong voice.

The staff kept on looking at them, "What is all the noise?" Misaki came out her office.

"Nothing, it's just this annoying people" Usui groaned.

"Is she your boss?" said by the blonde.

"Wife you mean" said by Scot who waved at Misaki who blushed, "But daaaamn… man, I though she'll be the one getting pregnant and not you" and he had another laughing fit.

The staff followed but some wondered the newly revealed relationship.

"MARRIED?!" Aoi burst as he was about to enter Misaki's office.

Misaki grabbed Aoi to her office while Usui glared at his brother.

"Great" he groaned, "She'll be stressed because of you" he sighed.

"Usui-san, I've been waiting in my office what took you so long?" said by a familiar man being followed by men in black, he was wearing the same thing like Usui.

"Pardon me, but I'm cracking up" said by Scott who was about to walk away, "Oh… and by the way, Edgar is here to see you and wants to talk to you about something, pfft" and he left.

"And who is fine young man?" asked the Prime Minister.

"This is my childhood friend back in England, "The new count of Wales, Edgar Ashenbert" he introduced.

"Nice to meet you young man" the older man shook his hand.

"What's with the pregnant look?" pointing at the vest.

"Ah! Well, this is for the new program that our government is trying, I mean it's for men to learn and know how pregnant women's life style, it's for us to appreciate and realize that men needs to also work at home" he said.

"I see, but why Takumi?"

"Well, I guess he's a married man and in a high position so we're trying it on him also" the old man laughed.

"Sir, I was about to hand this to you" Usui showed the classified folder.

"Well, sitting is not very comfortable" he sighed.

"Well, I agree" Usui said.

Back at the office Aoi is mad at Misaki for not telling him she's married and thought the wedding ring was their engagement.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you, however, he and I planned to have a proper wedding inviting you guys also we would like to keep things low for now" Misaki ecplained.

"Be happy you're not yet wed on a church or a traditional Japanese wedding because I want to design all your gowns and dresses also, OMG I want to dress up your future babies~" Aoi squealed.

Shortly the other ladies barged in and congratulated Misaki, Usui came back sighing and sat to his desk awkwardly with the strap around him, "Just take it off, you look terrible"

"Since my brother came and also my childhood friend in one place, it's stressful" he groaned.

"Well, just take that off, I'll ask May-san to give that to other guys" helping him remove the straps at the back.

"I'll really do all the work when you get pregnant" Usui sighed realizing how hard it was.

"Well, I'll be glad if you do that"

"Moe~" Satsuki said as flowers started to come out and loud squealing.

"Well, we're leaving in thirty minutes" Usui looked at his silver military watch, unbuttoning his combat jacket, his golden tag fell off showing.

Aoi took notice and read the engravings he saw, "OMG, Misaki I'm really done!" letting go of the tag, "Like seriously, how can both of you be so professional yet sweet at the time?!" and he walked away leaving the woman to be flushed and teased by her office friends.

Later after they left, Usui helped her up the car. Arriving to the local hospital full of securities, Usui now walking beside Misaki around the halls of the said hospital one man dressed in scrub and mask suddenly tacked them, Usui covered Misaki and got stabbed deeply by very sharp surgical tool on his back however it was aimed near his heart.

Misaki screamed really loud hugging Usui trying to support him not to collapse when the three bodyguards shot the man dead on the spot, Misaki cried as she carefully guided his body to lie on the floor, "TAKUUUMI!" cupping his face.

"Misaki" he said groaning, blood coming out his mouth.

"Takumi, stay awake! Please!" caressing his face.

"I won't die" he said as he close his eyes.

"TAKUUUMI!" Misaki cried and the other hospital staff carried him to a hospital bed and pushed him to the ER.
