Chapter Twenty-Three: Apprehension
Tohru bit her lip as Kyo held her hand. She was so nervous! Hatori had just finished informing her (unwillingly) that the pains of false labor were not nearly as bad as the pains of real labor. And now that she her due date was in just four weeks, she was growing increasingly nervous. Kyo, too, was becoming anxious.
He didn't know just how well Tohru would be able to handle the pain of childbirth; Hatori was unsure as well.
To help reassure both Kyo and Tohru, Hatori had already put a room on hold for Tohru at the hospital; it could be ready at a moment's notice. While it had put Tohru more at ease, Kyo was still acting like a cat dreading a bath. Apparently the pressures of being a soon-to-be father were finally showing; the pains that Tohru had had seemed to have made everything seem just that much more real.
On a happier note, however, Kyo had finally saved up enough money from working in Kazuma's dojo to place a first payment down on a gift to Tohru; a gift that Kazuma had been delighted to help with. After all, it was one of the most mature and sensible, even practical, things that Kyo had ever done.

Yeah, short, I know. Don't care. Deal with it.
