.:Mood Swings:.

"Wow! Hikari's tummy is getting a lot bigger!" Sakura squealed, excited for the future mom in front of her. Hikari had been a few months pregnant, and everyone was excited for the coming of that particular one- no, two, or maybe more?- babies. If clueless, I may inform you that Akira is also pregnant. In fact, months before Hikari found out. So the whole S.A gang would be expecting two, or possibly more, kids, running around in excitement.

Hikari beamed. "Yup, I'm getting really excited."

"Would it be a girl or a boy?" Ryuu asked, butting in. Seven other heads swung to her direction, imaginative minds causing sparkles shown on their eyes. Hikari sweat dropped.

"We're not sure... Maybe find out in a few months?" Hikari suggested. No, they haven't asked for the gender, even though there have been a few visits to the doctor. Just simple check ups.., they only know that the forming life in her tummy was alive and all right. Then, almost suddenly, a head landed on her shoulders, making her jump in surprise.

Kei chuckled as she glared at him. "Sorry."

"So... when are you going to get the 'ultrasound' thingy?" Tadashi asked, eyeing the couple between gulps. Akira whacked him for 'being such a pig'. He shows her his puppy eyes, but.. who is he kidding? We're talking about the famous devil bear woman here!

Speaking about the 'famous devil bear woman', I think you would've guessed what happened...

"Maybe in a few weeks? Or months...?" Hikari predicted, then a sudden question popped in her mind. "Oh, Akira! I thought you went the other day? So... Is it a boy or a girl?"

Akira blushed as a bunch of heads snapped to her direction, an interested glint in their eyes telling her to tell them all. She sighed in defeat, then smiled at them. "It's..."

"It's...?"

Impatient echos/questions, raising their tone two fold.

"It's a..." Akira trailed off, making the others much more impatient. Interesting enough, Yahiro, Kei and Ryuu even joined the choir of echos imitating each of her words.

"It's a...?" They imitated- more like, echoed- once again, raising the pitch of their voice, making it into a questioning tone.

Akira had now tons of sweat running down her face due to the pressure the rest of the gang was giving her. She looked helpless- who wouldn't be if people were leaning forward towards you in every word you say?

"It's a BOY!" Akira blurted, successfully accomplishing her task of erasing those terrifying (or interested) looks on those faces. Or not.

"Aw! Congratulations, Akira!" The four girls instantly surrounded her. The boys smirked.

Oops. Akira thought. Oh, boy.

-Takishima Residence-

Kei gave Hikari a hazy smile, putting his arms over her shoulder, making her lean to his chest. "So... what do you guess the baby's gender would be?"

"I... Anything would be perfect, I just want he or she to be happy." Hikari grinned sweetly, rubbing her bulging stomach. "We would find out soon. What gender would you like the baby to be?"

"Two boys and two girls." He replied nonchalantly.

Hikari's eyes almost bulged out of it's place. She gave Kei a bewildered look. "You mean you want FOUR children at the SAME TIME? That's crazy!"

Kei laughed at her response and reaction. "Aw, that would've been fun..." He said in mock disappointment.

"That would be hard!" Hikari spat, panicked at her imagination of having to take care of four babies at the same time.

"A second placer could always do that." Kei teased as he received a glare and kind of a... teary eye?

"Yeah, right." She scowled back at him.

Hikari scowled at him... in ease... which rarely happens. "Heh."

"Nii-san..."

Hikari burst into tears. "Don't call me nii-san! Meanie!"

"Huh?" Kei blurted in confusion, his panic-stricken face staring at the pregnant, bawling woman in front of him. She had never been like this before, hasn't she? When Kei would call her 'nii-san' she would just give him a determined look, but never once before burst into tears.

"I'm sorry..." He apologized, cradling Hikari, patting her head.

"Don't.. sniff.. ever.. sniff.. call me.. sniff.. 'nii-san' ever.. sniff.. again!" Hikari continued sobbing. Kei, yet confused, continued shushing her like a baby.

She continued sobbing emotionally, but then gradually stopped as she drifted off to dreamland due to her husband's gentle touch.

What has gotten into her?

.:Cravings:.

"I want ice cream." Hikari stated, a small pout forming on her lips.

Kei looked away, fighting the urge to kiss her. He sighed, "Why would you want ice cream rather than healthy foods? That can be bad for our baby, you know..."

"But I want ice cream!" She whined like a little girl, looking like she was at her limit of bursting into tears.

"But, nii-san.."

"I told you not to call me miss number two! I want ice cream!"

He sighed. 'Honestly... Pregnant women like this...'

"Okay, then..."

[Meanwhile]

Kei stared in horror as his wife added unusual ingredients to her portion of her ice cream. 'Oh, God, no...'

What the hell was she thinking, mixing pickles, salt, yogurt, tons of sugar, crackers and... more kinds of I-will-not-tell-you-or-you-might-puke ingredients into a chocolate flavored ice cream?. He stared at her with a terrified expression as she took a large spoonful and putting it in her mouth... and not even looking affected; rather, gave it a comment...

"Delicious."

'This will not affect them, will it?' Kei thought in dismay, watching her dig in her... unusual ice cream.

She continued eating until she stopped and noticed the man in front of her, staring. "Why aren't you eating?"

"Oh... Nothing..." Kei said before licking the ice cream off his spoon. Yes, the ice cream tasted good, but... looking at the woman in front of him... well... kind of made him lost his appetite.

Who wouldn't if you see someone eating such a odd food so nonchalantly?

[Psssssssh.]

Takishima Kei was officially worn out.

Thanks to Hikari.

And their baby.

Plus their food issues.

Hnn, let me ask you... Would you be worn out if every night your pregnant wife would wake up, bawling, asking for food... IN. THE. MIDDLE. OF. THE. NIGHT? Of course you would be. Especially if everyday, you work- or own- a international company known across the great big mother earth.

Poor Kei... That was exactly what happens every night.

Want a flashback?

Hikari sat up on their bed, crying her eyes out. Kei, who was still groggy yet alarmed, sat up and rubbed her back to comfort her.

"Does your back hurt? Your tummy? Your feet? Your hea- Wait, let me guess... You wan't sushi, right?" He asked, still half asleep. He knew her already, this is what happens every single night.

She nodded her head, embarrassed. "I'm sorry... I just couldn't help it..."

"That's okay, I know this happens a lot to pregnant woman.." He mumbled, smiling knowingly, before heading down to make her sushi.

"Aren't you getting tired of me?" Hikari asked curiously. Apparently, she followed Kei to the kitchen without him knowing it. Hikari, who seemed to pop out of nowhere, startled Kei. Of course he didn't show it. Honestly... poker faced people like him...

"Nope."

"Even if I'm like this?"

"Never."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup."

"Seriously?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then, why?"

"Because I love you."

Hikari blushed red, then continued to question him. "That only?"

"You want more explanation? Because you're my love, my wife, my rainbow, my life." Kei smirked, kissing her forehead.

She was now blushing 20 shades of red. "Stop being so cheesy."

"But, it's true, nii-san." He winked, then pushed a plate full of sushi towards her.

"Idiot." She muttered before taking a bite of her sushi.

Kei grinned. "I love you, too."

There ya go.

Heh, still the same lovebirds as ever.

.:Let's go to the doctor!:.

"Miyazono-sensei?" Hikari called out, knocking on the doctor's door.

The said woman snapped her head form the book on her hand to the slightly opened door. "Ah, Hikari-san... Konnichiwa. Please enter the room."

"Konnichiwa." Hikari greeted with a bright smile, entering the room with a glowing Kei beside her.

Yup, it's ultrasound time!

"I'm excited and nervous at the same time..." Hikari whispered to herself.

Kei smirked. "Wow, I never thought Miss Number Two would get nervous..."

"Of course, I'm still human, idiot! And stop calling me 'Miss Number Two'!" Hikari growled back, glaring at him.

Kei and Hikari were excited to know how the baby was doing. It was their first time to see the baby on a actual screen, moving... unlike their ordinary check-ups. The doctor led them to the room beside her office and instructed Hikari to lay down as Kei sat on the chair beside the bed.

The doctor applied a clear, cold gel above Hikari's now bare tummy before placing the transducer. Roaming it all over Hikari's stomach, the doctor looked at the screen in surprise, then bit her lip.

"What's wrong, Miyazono-sensei?" Hikari asked with a worried tone. Kei looked at her with a troubled face.

She didn't reply, but instead leaned closer and narrowed to get a better look at the screen. She stared at the screen for quite a long time... well, long enough for the impatient and dead-worried couple to her right.

"Hm..." She muttered, then took a book from the small table.

After a minute of flipping the pages, intense auras and worried faces, the professional doctor turned around with a beaming face and said something.

That made them gape in shock.

"You have twins."

No Time... Need to sleep! Oh and iheartpercyjackson.74, I thought of that before I wrote chapter 10, so I will definately do it! I was sad that people barely reviewed this :(

But, Thanks everyone!

Please review!
