Chapter 2
Haruka smiled as she listened to her wife playing the violin in the other room. Michiru played such sweet music and it seemed, if it were possible, to have become sweeter. Haruka stretched as she rubbed her eyes and returned to what she was doing. She smiled as she came to the end of the bills. The music stopped as Haruka wrote her last little thing into the budget, the twins. Michiru walked in carefully looking at her wife to see if she was in a good mood. Haruka smiled as she looked over and nodded at her wife who walked over to put her arms around her. Michiru bent over to nibble on her lover's ear. Haruka grinned happily as she moved to meet with Michiru's lips.
"Here you go, this is your monthly allowance." Haruka grinned as she looked up to see Michiru's face. They had plenty of money, with Michiru's always sold out concerts and Haruka's races. But Haruka would each month set apart some money for savings and then give a set allowance that would allow her and Michiru to live in comfort. Michiru smiled as she bent over to kiss her love.
"There is a little more this month?" Michiru looked at her wife.
"That is for these two lovely children." Haruka turned to touch Michiru's stomach.
"How do you know they are lovely?" Michiru asked teasingly.
"Because they are part of the most beautiful woman in the world, they have no other choice, but to be beautiful." Haruka grinned as Michiru blushed red.
"I don't deserve you." Haruka shook her head and moved to quiet her bride.
"I'm sorry to tell you Princess, but it is I who does not deserve you." Michiru smiled as she moved to kiss Haruka once more.
Michiru was down stairs making dinner as she could hear Haruka out side in the garage working on her car. Michiru was grinning widely as she thought about the lives inside of her. She heard the back door open downstairs and Haruka taking off her shoes before she came up. She wrapped her arms around the smaller girl as she kissed her neck lovingly. Haruka allowed her hands to wonder down around Michiru's mid section where and ever so small belly was starting to emerge. Haruka knew she wouldn't feel the babies moving for quiet some time, but that didn't bother her, she just smiled as she thought about the new lives Michiru was carrying. Michiru rolled her head back to kissed Haruka lovingly.
"When are we going to tell the others?" Haruka asked as she held the young girl while she chopped the onion.
"Who says we have to tell them?"
"Well they will eventually find out now wont they?" Haruka asked as she moved around the counter to take a seat on the stools facing the bar.
"Yea, I guess they will." Michiru paused, "Haruka will you still love me even when I'm fat?" Michiru asked her eyes starting to fill with tears. Haruka shook her head, completely taken aback by this question.
"Of course I will love you, I will always love you no matter how you look." Michiru tried to smile, but tears continued down her face. Haruka looked confused by the sudden mood change of her wife. "What's wrong baby?" Haruka asked as she move back around the counter to pull Michiru close to her.
"What if I never lose this weight?" Haruka kissed her lovingly, sure Michiru had always liked her figure, but she never thought she would get this upset over something that might happen. Haruka kissed her lovingly once more trying to comfort her.
"It's alright, you will lose the weight, you'll be back and fit in no time at all." Haruka had thought this would comfort her wife, but she was wrong. Michiru sobbed louder and pushed her away.
"You do only love me for the way I look." Haruka's eyes widened.
"No, no I don't sweetie, I think you are amazing how ever you look. I love you." Haruka tried to regain her thoughts and bring Michiru into a semiconscious state of reality but she was hard pressed, everything she wanted to say she was sure Michiru could twist and she did not mean them to be twisted. "Honey, you are being ridiculous, I love you because you are you and because your thin." Michiru looked up at her wife.
"Promise?" Michiru asked.
"Promise, now dry your tears and come here, I love you." Haruka pulled Michiru close to her lovingly. Haruka smiled as she held her wife lovingly. She breathed as she thought about it, 'so this was what mood swings were.'
Michiru moved quickly from the bed to the bathroom as Haruka rolled over trying to figure out what was going on around her. She heard the sound of vomit splashing in the bathroom and she seemed to come to her senses as she through the cover off and moved towards the bathroom. Michiru was on her knees hovering over the toilet seat breathing heavily, Haruka moved to wet a cool cloth and then kneeled beside her handing it to her and moving to pull back Michiru's long aqua hair. Michiru moved to rock back on her legs and wiped her mouth allowing Haruka to take the cloth and wipe the back of her neck she was shaking, she felt weak, but as she opened her mouth to speak she felt her stomach rise into the back of her throat once more and moved towards the toilet. Haruka moved with her still holding her hair back and then gently rubbing her back. Michiru let out a whimper as she flushed the toilet and moved to lay in Haruka's arms.
"Shh… It's okay, it's going to be alright." Haruka reassured her playing lovingly with her hair and wiping the clothe around her face, trying to cool her.
"Tell me we will make it through this?" Michiru asked as Haruka brushed her hair out of her face.
"We'll make it through this." Michiru nodded smiling.
"It's funny, when you say that, I always believer you." Haruka grinned as she bent over and kissed the smaller girl on the forehead. Michiru breathed lightly and closed her eyes. Haruka moved to pick up Michiru and carried her back to be, after which she moved towards the shower.
As Haruka stepped out of the shower she looked around, Michiru was asleep in bed as Haruka dressed. Michiru moved in her sleep and Haruka tried to be quiet, she moved downstairs to make breakfast. She looked at the calendar, it broke her heart to do it, especially now, but she had races and she had to leave. They hadn't talked about it recently, not since the doctor's appointment, but Haruka knew that Michiru knew. Haruka marked off the previous day, she would need to do laundry and pack today to catch her flight early in the morning, her team would be leaving tonight. Haruka sighed, maybe she could persuade Michiru to go with her, she smiled at that thought and then started getting breakfast ready. Michiru grinned as Haruka walked in carrying two trays of food and she pushed herself into a sitting position. Haruka sat her tray down and moved around the bed to join Michiru. Michiru smiled as she moved to pick up her fork.
"You are to good for me?" Michiru smiled. Haruka shook her head,
"No you are not, know don't talk like that." Michiru grinned as allowed Haruka to kiss her. "Feeling better I see?" Michiru nodded. "Good, we need to talk." Michiru raised an eyebrow as she took a bite of her breakfast.
"What do we need to talk about?" Michiru asked teasingly.
"I have three races coming up, one in England, France and Italy, I'm going to be gone for the next three weeks." Michiru's face fell, she had completely forgotten about having careers. She normally only did shows when Haruka was traveling so that they could be home together, but then it had been so long since Haruka's last race she had been growing accustom to having her home and with the baby coming, she hadn't given it a second thought. Haruka smiled as she watched the wheels turning. Michiru bit her lip and turned to make her frown.
"So cancel them." Haruka looked taken aback,
"I can't cancel them, I'll lose my sponsors. Michiru, this has been on the calendar for ages, I can't just all of a sudden back out." Michiru frowned but nodded. She knew that Haruka had to work, sure they had money, but if they were going to have twins then she had to allow Haruka to work, it was selfish to think that Haruka would stop work.
"I know, I'm sorry, I just wanted to be with you and I really didn't want to share you."
"I know, but I thought about it, why don't you go with me?" Haruka had not planed to propose that question that way. Michiru thought about it,
"You mean it? I would love to go with you." Haruka smiled as she moved to grab the phone. "I haven't been to one of your races in a long time."
"Alright, if you are sure, then I'll call and get you a plane ticket." Michiru nodded excited. She had stopped attending Haruka's races once they were married, because she had lost time and was performing, however she really missed it. Haruka smiled as she picked up the phone and started dialing, she called and made plane reservations for Michiru to get a seat next to her. "Should I call and make you a doctor's appointment for today, I mean if we are going to be gone for the next three weeks then you may want to make sure everything is alright." Michiru didn't say anything, but Haruka started dialing. Haruka called, but the doctor didn't see the need to have them come in, Michiru was only nine in a half weeks along and even with a three week trip she would just be beginning her second trimester. Haruka smiled satisfied and finished her breakfast. Michiru let Haruka move the trays and go down stairs before she moved to shower and get dressed. She came down the stairs carefully and moved to sit at the bar while Haruka washed the dishes. Michiru started to examine calendar and counting.
"Haruka, you have a race in America the week before my due date." Haruka looked up at Michiru who had pulled down the calendar and was flipping through checking the weeks once more. Haruka moved to look over her shoulder to see what she was talking about.
"I'll be back in plenty of time." Haruka said trying to be confident.
"Haruka, can't you cancel this race, please." Haruka looked down at it,
"It's the biggest race I have that season, my sponsors will be furious." Haruka looked at it and then up at Michiru. "I'll see what I can do, we don't even know if that really is the time you have the babies, I mean it is a week before your due date." Haruka was trying hard not to look worried, this was her biggest race, if she missed this race then she could lose an entire season and that was not something they could afford, especially if they were going to have twins.
"Haruka, we're having twins, I'm probably going go into labor earlier than my do date." Haruka nodded looking at her wife.
"I'll take care of it," Michiru nodded. "Don't worry about it, now I have to go in for a meeting today before my team leaves, and I work on it then." Haruka thought about it, maybe she could get someone to race for her.
"Can I go with you?" Haruka looked at her wife.
"Honey, I'm going to be in meetings and then I'm going to test drive, I don't know how long I'm going to be there, do you really want to go to the garage with me?" Michiru nodded. Haruka shrugged as she finished the dishes.
"I'll go get ready." Haruka nodded and watched as her wife walked away.
"Damn, what did I do to deserve her?" Haruka breathed as she watched Michiru's backside. Haruka fished cleaning the kitchen up and moved upstairs to grab her bag. "I was planning on taking my bike, are you okay with that?" Michiru looked up and nodded. Haruka couldn't figure out why Michiru was all of a sudden wanting to be with her, she smacked her head, 'alright remember, mood swings, this is probably one of them, she's being clingy.'
"What's wrong sweetie?" Michiru crawled over the bed and wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck and started to nibble her ear.
"Nothing, I just forgot something."
"Alright, are you ready?" Haruka moved to stand up and turn around so that she could face her wife.
"I will be right after I get some." Haruka smiled as she began kissing Michiru. Michiru moved to lay on the bed and Haruka dropped down next to her.
Haruka and Michiru pulled up to the garage an two hours later, Michiru climbed off and pulled her helmet off letting her aqua curls fall. Haruka kicked her leg off and pulling her helmet off smiled.
"Come on, we are already late for the meeting." Haruka grabbed her hand still grinning as Michiru giggled as she followed. Haruka walked into the meeting quietly holding Michiru's hand as they slipped in. Haruka offered Michiru the closet chair and then sat down next to her.
"Welcome Tenoh, it's so nice of you to join us, Mrs. Tenoh, it is always a pleasure." Michiru nodded to Haruka's manager.
"Sorry, we had a, errr…" Haruka wasn't sure what to say.
"I don't need to know about your sex life Haruka." Michiru and Haruka both blushed. "I'm glad you are here now, we need to talk about your upcoming races." Haruka sat back holding Michiru's hand as she listened.
Haruka rounded the track at top speed, she was feeling great as she looked to cross the finish line. It was just a test run ensuring that her car was still is working order and ready for her upcoming races. Michiru had moved from the stands to the garage as she waited for her lover to park. Joey, the newest mechanic on the team came up next to her, most of the team had already noticed, but were waiting for Haruka to announce it. Michiru smiled at the young boy,
"Hi there mam', Nice day?"
"Yes, it is quite beautiful." Haruka parked and started to climb out of the window taking off her helmet.
"That was a good run, I would check the tread and the shifting was sticking just the tiniest bit." The older mechanic nodded and as Haruka's manager emerged Haruka motioned for Michiru to walk towards her. Michiru placed herself in Haruka's arms as they leaned back against the car. "Gather around guys, I have something to tell you, now that everyone is here." The garage pulled close around them, "Two weeks ago Michiru and I found out that we are going to be parents, of twins." Haruka smiled beaming.
"Congratulations!" The whole garage called around as they each came around to pat Haruka on the back and shake or hug Michiru depending on how well they knew her.
"You lucky dog, I guess you were going to make sure I knew about your sex life one way or another." Haruka's manager brought her into a hug and ruffled her hair as well as moved towards Michiru who he hugged more gently. "Congratulations." Michiru blushed and nodded.
"Thank you," The man nodded as Haruka placed her arm around her wife.
"You are very welcome and it will be an honor to have you join us over the next three weeks." Michiru nodded. "Haruka, you better take good care of this woman and these children."
"I will sir, I will." He nodded and patted her on the back.
