A/N: I'M BACK! ...again. Sorry I've been gone for so long but this chapter was a bugger to write. So all this chapter is right now is KomuixSida fluff. Hope no one minds! I'm wanting to wrap this story up soon b/c I've already got the first 5 chapters of the sequel ready. (I know, sad that I start a sequel before having finished the first installment but I just couldn't help myself. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter!
The next couple of months went by almost too quickly for the couple. They learned something new everyday. And each discovery only made them that much more excited about the life that was soon to be.
"Good morning, Sida." Komui walked over to his wife one morning and kissed her forehead. She rolled her eyes when he knelt down and put his hand over her slightly protruding stomach. She was about five months along and starting to show. "Good morning, little one. Did you let your mommy sleep last night?"
Sida chuckled at her husband and nodded.
"For once yes. I was actually able to get comfortable last night." Komui stood back up and placed a quick kiss on her lips.
"Good." They walked into his office and sat down.
"Have we heard anything from the exorcists yet?" Sida asked, picking up a folder on top of an update pile.
"Well, we know that Kanda and Marie are with General Tiedoll now. It's just the three of them now that Daisya's gone. Lenalee has yet to find General Cross. She's on her way to Japan on a lead she received from a group of finders in the area." Sida nodded as Komui riled off the information, still flipping through the folders and notes. "Miranda, Krory, Lavi, and Bookman have also joined them."
"Who are we sending out for General Sokaro now?" she asked. Her old master's name had caught her attention in the folder.
"We've sent out exorcists from the Asia branch. We've also received information about Suman Dark. His body wasn't with the ones found among the Noah victims but he recently became a fallen one. Allen attempted to save him but failed." Komui explained.
"How's Allen doing?" Sida continued.
"He's recovering little by little. Bak says that he's having trouble reforming his innocence. They're also running short on staff. They've asked that we send someone over for a few days." Komui answered.
"I'll go." She held her hand up to stop her husband from protesting. "I want to check on Allen anyways. Plus, I haven't seen Bak in a long time. I'd like to catch up with an old friend." Komui nodded his hesitant approval and stood up.
"Come on. Let's go get something to eat then I'll help you pack." He suggested, offering his arm after helping her off of her seat. She took it and they walked to the cafeteria. But as soon as they walked in, Jeryy was no where to be found.
Sida sighed, wondering where the glittery chef had gone. She placed her hand on her slightly swollen stomach as it growled. She chuckled when Komui spoke.
"Don't worry, little one. We'll get you and your mommy something in a minute." They walked into the kitchen when a couple of pots, pans, and ingredients were laid out on the counters for Sida's favorite foods. Sida looked at Komui out of the corner of her eye as he walked forwards and put the needle on the record player down and music started to play.
"You planned all of this, didn't you?" Komui gave a bashful grin. He'd been found out. He pulled her to the counter and they began preparing their meal. They quickly found out that that might not be the best idea. Sida hardly had time to wash the vegetables before the smell of smoke reached her overly sensitive nose. She turned around just in time to grab the empty pot off of the lit burner before it set on fire and gave Komui a glare. He gave her a sheepish grin. Sida gave in and told him to start chopping the vegetables while she took over the stove.
She placed the pasta in the pot and allowed it to cook in the water until tender and then helped Komui prepare the sauce. It was like teaching a child how to cook. But she had to admit that it was fun.
"So, what all do we have to do to get ready for our little one?" Komui asked, throwing the last of the tomatoes into a sauce pan that Sida was stirring.
"Well, what room are we going to use for the nursery?" They both were deep in thought for a moment before Komui spoke up.
"There's that double suite down the hall from where we are now. Maybe we can move into there and use the extra room as the nursery. That way we'll be able to have our privacy but we could still get to the baby when we need to without disturbing others in the middle of the night." He suggested. Sida nodded her agreement.
"That's a good idea. I'll talk with Reever about making the arrangements." She held the spoon up to Komui's mouth for him to taste. He nodded when he approved of the flavor.
"Okay, now that that's down; what else?" Komui continued, pulling the bread out and slicing it into enough pieces for the both of them.
"Names. We have to come up with names." The silence that followed was much longer than the previous one. The only sound was the boiling water in front of them which Sida turned down and stirred the noodles, checking to see if they were ready. They were just as tender as she wanted them so she strained them into the sink, turning off the stove before setting the pot down again on a different burner.
"What kind of names do we want to stick with?" Komui asked, trying to narrow down the options.
"I was kind of wanting to stick with traditional Japanese names. I hardly know any Chinese names." Sida suggested. Her husband nodded his consent.
"Okay. What about Akiko for a girl? She'll be born in autumn so it's appropriate." Komui threw out.
"Alright. That's pretty." She thought for a moment. "Kota for a boy since he is our good fortune." Sida flashed a bright smile at her husband before pouring the now prepared sauce onto their plates over the noodles. He carried them to the table that he had set up with a lace tablecloth, flowers, and candles.
"Beautiful." He commented on her choice of name.
The meal was simple and they thoroughly enjoyed it, not speaking and listening to the soft music play in the background. The beginning notes to a particular song came on as they finished their meal. Komui stood up and walked two steps over to his wife and held his hand out for her.
"May I have this dance?" He asked with a slight bow. She tried to hold back a chuckle as she gave a petite nod and took his hand. He spun her out slowly and pulled her back into his arms with a big smile. One hand was held in his at their shoulders. Sida's other hand was on his shoulder, her arm bent so that there was little to no room between them, his arm wrapped almost possessively around her. She rested her chin on the crook of his shoulder so his rested against her cheek. They swayed back and forth to the music, not really listening to the beat but just enjoying being in each others arms.
Neither of them realized that the song had long ended until Komui spoke.
"Happy Anniversary, sweetheart. Six years down, eternity to go." They stopped swaying when Sida looked up at her husband, seeing unexpressed joy in his eyes.
"Happy Anniversary." Sida closed her eyes as she felt Komui's breath across her face. She felt her heart pound at the close proximity. The tingling in her lips warmed her entire body as he brushed them with his own. It was no different than the first kiss or any of the ones that followed. But still her body would not stop responding the exact same way every single time.
She moved her arms around his neck, feeling his heart race in tandem with hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist nearly lifting her off the ground.
When they finally had to come up for air, they stood with their arms still around each other, their foreheads touching, neither bothering to open their eyes. Their minds were in the same place: moving through the past years they had known each other. Everything from that first moment at the train station to them finding out they were expecting. Komui realized he had gained his strength from this woman in his arms. She had given him back his family when it was snatched from him and now she was only adding to his happiness. Komui was Sida's solid ground. She would have lost her mind by this point in time had he not been there to calm her down after her fights with Kanda or give her someone to just lean against when she needed it. They were each other's everything.
"I love you." Sida said. Komui's answer was merely to brush his lips against her again. When he finally broke it, he reached down and picked her up and carried out of the cafeteria. The few workers that remained in the halls watched them walked by, not taking their eyes off of each other. Komui finally reached the familiar wooden door and stepped in and kicked it closed behind them for the night.
Okay, thanks for reading. I'll post another chapter as soon as my reviews reach 25. That shouldn't be too hard right? See you all soon! :)
