Ryuu Tou Taiga 3

Ryuuji pulled into the car-park of the apartment complex he and Taiga lived in. He got out, and went to the boot of the car, opening it and catching some of the shopping bags that nearly fell out because there were too many in the space. He somehow managed to get them all into his hands, looked the car, and made it inside.

He got in the lift, and waited for it to reach the floor that he lived on. He yawned into his hand. He had had a long day: he had been to work, then during his lunch break he had taken Taiga to the doctor for her latest check-up.

-Flashback-

"Mrs. Takasu, I'm just going to put some gel on your stomach. You've done this before, so you know the drill," the lady, Dr Kusuri, told Taiga.

Taiga shivered slightly at the coldness of the gel, and made a slight face. The doctor put the scanner on Taiga, then turned to the screen. On the blue screen appeared what, Ryuu and Taiga had been told, was their baby.

After performing a few checks, the doctor turned back to the couple, "Would you like to know the gender, or do you want it to be a surprise?"

Ryuuji looked at Taiga, who nodded, then he turned to the doctor, "We'd like to know."

The doctor went back to the scan quickly, then pointed at the screen, "Well if you look there, you can see his penis."

Ryuuji smiled. He had, somewhat, been hoping for a boy. Taiga was smiling too, why exactly she did not know: it had not really mattered to her whether they had a boy or girl, but maybe it would be easier to raise a son given the characters of his parents.

Shortly thereafter, Ryuuji and Taiga were in their car. Ryuuji spoke first, "So... a boy."

"Yup, a boy."

Silence, then Taiga spoke again, "You know what this means Ryuuji..."

Ryuuji gulped, "You don't mean..."

Taiga nodded, "I do. You are going to go to the nearest store, and buy everything for babies in blue that you can find, after having dropped me at home. Understand?"

Ryuuji only nodded, before starting the car and heading for home.

-End-Flashback-

This was the reason for the few dozen shopping bags that Ryuuji was now trying to carry inside. He managed to get the bags into the room that would become the baby's then went to find Taiga. She was curled up on their bed, asleep.

He left her there, while he went to start making the dinner that Taiga would demand the moment she awoke.

It was some time later that the smell of meat cooking made it's way from the kitchen through into the bedroom of the apartment, and went up Taiga's nose. This lead to the release of various chemicals in Taiga's nose, leading to her brain registering the following: 'Food. Cooked food. Food cooked by Ryuuji. Ryuuji came home and has cooked food. Ryuuji must have finished shopping for stuff for the baby. Pregnant. Craving food right now. Food cooked by Ryuuji... FOOD!'

When that had all registered, Taiga opened her eyes and pulled herself up from her position on the bed, standing and slowly walking through to the kitchen. She saw Ryuuji busily cooking something or other: all that Taiga cared to take in at that point was that it was food.

Ryuuji noticed his wife's presence. "Hey there, how are you?" he asked as he turned the fish he was cooking over.

"Hungry," was all Taiga said. Ryuuji got the message, and hurried the dinner as much as he could without spoiling it. Soon he had finished and put a plate in front of Taiga. He then went to get himself some. By the time he had come back with his own plate, Taiga's was half-empty, and by the time he had sat down and taken a couple of bites, Taiga was holding out her plate and said "Seconds!"

Ryuuji stood, and brought the rice cooker over to Taiga, scooping out another portion, leaving it next to her to refill her own plate, as he also took the fish and supplied her with more.

They ate in silence, apart from the noise of Taiga's teeth clashing together every so often, and her chopsticks hitting her plate as she ate. It didn't take long for her to finish her eighth portion, as Ryuuji finished his first.

Taiga yawned, as Ryuuji cleaned up after the meal. By the time he had finished washing up, Taiga had fallen back to sleep. He lifted her in his arms, noting that she was starting to get heavy as their son grew inside her. He took her through to the bedroom and lay her down, and she curled up on the bed.

Ryuuji left her to nap, then went through to the baby's future room. He looked through the bags he had brought in, and started sorting through them. Clothes in the little wardrobe, cot and other things to be put together in a neat pile on his right, decorating things to his left. He was busy enough decorating that he didn't notice when his wife enter quietly.

"You're getting everything ready then?" she said, and Ryuuji looked up.

"Well the sooner the better right?"

"Yeah, I suppose," Taiga leaned against the wall, and watched as Ryuuji went back to the sorting.

Ryuuji eventually finished the sorting, and stood from where he had been kneeling by the bags. He looked at Taiga, who had slid down the wall, and was now sleeping, circled up on the floor. She was able to fall asleep almost anywhere it seemed. He picked her up again and carried her to their bedroom once again, and lay her down on the bed. He then got changed himself, and climbed into the bed beside her.

He felt her move up against him, and she lay her head on his chest. "Good pillow" she muttered, making Ryuuji chuckle slightly. She may have been an adult now, but physically and mentally, she still seemed very childish. Not that Ryuuji would ever say that to her, she would be furious if he did.

He lay back fully against the pillow, and soon he fell asleep, dreaming of his wife, and future son.

Wolfie-kun: Okay... Sorry this took so long guys.

Shana-chan: You're always taking far too long writing Wolfie-sama.

W-kun: Maybe, but heck, I'm the writer, I can do whatever I want, including make you strip for the readers.

Shana: But this is T-rated.

W-kun: That's why you'd better watch out for my next M-rated story.

Shana: A~~~~~~H! I'm going now. (Runs away towards an area marked 'K')

W-kun: I'll just catch her later. Anyways, that's all for now folks. Please review. (If you don't hate me too much by now).
