9 Months
Disclaimer: I don't own Crescent Moon.
Last time on 9 Months: And while she did discuss all those things with Keiko and the boys, it just wasn't the same. They already knew all about that and then some. But retelling it all to people who didn't know her and were actually interested…it just seemed like it'd be a lot of fun.
Maybe it was the hormones talking. It was probably the hormones talking. She really needed another orange popsicle. Or five.
A/N: A recent rant to my friend about how I hate it when writers never finish their fics made me realize I had done the exact same thing. So, I'm actually gonna finish this along with the ABC series. I swear this time. Really.
Chapter 5: The Fifth Month
They were having a boy.
At first she wasn't sure if she wanted to know the gender. Half of her friends said that she shouldn't because it would make the pregnancy and birth more fun and surprising. She highly doubted that anything could possibly make giving birth 'fun.' The other half said that she should know to make shopping and finishing the nursery easier. Though she had a feeling they only said that so they could have an easier time shopping for baby shower presents.
Mitsuru was no help at all. He just said that whatever she wanted was fine by him. Annoying has-no-opinion-except-when-it-comes-to-choosing-names bastard. Which they still hadn't decided on!
In the end, the choice was obvious. Just trying to finish the nursery, preparing lesson plans for Juri when she would go on maternity leave, and figuring out what Lamaze class to go to during her third trimester was making her stressed out enough. She didn't need to add on more by trying to figure out unisex colors, furniture, outfits, and toys.
Rubbing her slightly bulged stomach and taking a bite out of her third popsicle, this one grape, she continued to look through swatches of blue paint.
A/N: Now that the gender has been revealed, I'd like help in figuring out a name. I've only found two names that I kind of like, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If you could include the meaning of the name too, that would help the choosing process. Thank you! Next chapter will be up soon, promise!
