9 Months
Disclaimer: I don't own Crescent Moon.
Last time on 9 Months: Maybe she'd tell him tonight, after dinner. Take him up to their bedroom, seat him down, and just let it out.
"Mitsuru, honey, I'm pregnant."
Yeah, like that will go over real well.
A/N: Thanks for the many lovely reviews! Sorry for the horribly long wait. Anyways, this one's a bit longer, but you'll probably like that. On with it!
Chapter 2: The Second Month
Birth Control Pills: 97 percent effective!
Yeah right.
They should put 3 percent ineffective on the box instead. At least then you stop and think, "Gee golly, there's a small possibility that I'll get pregnant. Granted, it's very unlikely, but there's still a chance."
Mahiru was constantly wishing that the smallest of chances didn't happen to her.
She wished she wasn't part of the small group of three percents that got knocked up while on the pill. She wished her second home wasn't the toilet. She wished that she didn't have skull pounding headaches. She wished she wasn't always so tired. She wished that she wasn't constantly snapping at everyone.
She also wished she hadn't had that fruit salad for lunch.
But thank goodness that today's morning sickness (which happens anytime of the day apparently, and why didn't anyone bother to tell her that!) hadn't kicked in until after school hours. She didn't want another incident after what happened last week.
While in the middle of reading her kindergarteners about the Very Hungry Caterpillar, her stomach rumbled and she made a mad dash for the restroom and locked herself inside for half an hour. When she had emerged, Mitsuru was there and ready to take her home and she'd been so grateful that her TA Juri was able to cover her for the rest of the day.
Ah, Mitsuru. Thinking of him brought on so many fond (and sometimes not so fond) memories. Like when she finally told him she was pregnant. That had been an interesting experience.
She told him as she had planned, the night she found out after dinner. He'd temporarily went into shock, and so she'd called the others at the Moonshine.
All she can really remember of the phone call was that once she let slip that she was expecting all hell broke loose on the other end. She'd heard a crash, followed by various yells from Akira and Nozomu, then after another minute of chaotic background noises, Misoka finally picked up and asked what was wrong. After a very embarrassing explanation, he told her to just give him a good slap in the face and to come over the next morning for a congratulatory breakfast.
When Mitsuru came to, she had to tell him two more times that they were having a baby. Once it finally sunk into his thick skull, he gently kissed her then asked if she knew the due date.
April 21, at least that's what the doctors said.
Seven more months to go.
Feels more like seven years.
A/N: So that's chapter two. Hope you all enjoyed! Leave a review please!
