ahhh sorry i haven't updated in so long, i feel bad about it. this chapter was kinda hard to do as I didn't have any ideas for January . Hopefully there isn't many grammar mistakes.
January
Nanjou's P.O.V
My bags were all packed for Yokohama, even though it was an hour away my manager wants us to stay in a hotel nearby so we could practice before the concert. I didn't want to leave Aina alone at 7 months, so I decided to take her with me. She also wanted to attend the concert, luckily she could hide her stomach so no one would be able to tell she was pregnant. The only thing I was worried about was how weak and uncomfortable she was. Hopefully the trip wouldn't be too difficult for her.
I went down the street to grab Aina's snacks and some for me. When I arrived back to the apartment, Aina was napping on the couch, wearing her cute little maroon jacket with a beanie, her chest gently rising and falling. We had to meet the team at the train station, lucky the train station is a five minute walk from my house. I leaned down to wake up her up, once she fully woke up we headed to the train station.
We took our seats on the train, I took the window seat and Ai took the seat next to me, she leaned her head onto me. I could tell she wasn't very well today and just needed to relax. 20 minutes into the trip she started to get motion sickness, her skin paling noticeably. I took her to the bathroom, carefully guiding her all the way, where she vomited as I held her hair back, gently smoothing it with my fingers. After 10 minutes we were back in our seat and I made Ai lie down on my lap, where she buried her head into it and fell asleep. During the ride I played on my PS Vita and talked quietly to Sat and my band member from Fripside. When we arrived, I gently coaxed Aina into an awake state and got off, heading straight to a costume fitting and practicing on stage. Aina wasn't doing that well so I made her stay at the hotel. I wasn't going to let her get hurt or push herself too hard.
The costume was still interesting and fitted alright but I didn't really care about this concert at all. After all the costumes were fitted and down, I made my way to the hotel get grab Aina for dinner. I open the door and saw Ai on the floor crying, there with her clothes everywhere. She was wearing my t-shirt and tracksuit pants, She looked cute but now wasn't the time for that. I closed the door and ran over to her, and brought her closer to my chest. She cried into it while a rubbed her back, she was warm and soft. I calmed her down enough to talk.
Me; what's wrong Ai-chan?
Her: none of my clothes fit…
Me: shhh, it's alright...
Her: it's not fair
Me; don't worry I'll take you shopping after the concert
Her: what will I wear until then?
Me: just wear my clothes, it will be okay.
Her: okay, if you're sure…
She wasn't even that big but I guess she had got more of a stomach down below rather than the top and her pants would be a bit tight which would no-doubt be very uncomfortable. She got up and walked over to the door.
Me: where do you think you're going missy?
Her: going for dinner
Me: wait for me young one
I got up quickly to leave to catch up to her I wrapped my hand around her hips and kissed her. These mood swings can be adorable, it's like seeing another side of her. We made our way to the hotel restaurant, I noticed Sat sitting down at the table. We decided to sit with him, I think that it was the first time Ai and Sat meet each other. That's probably why she suddenly went quiet, the waiter came around and took our order. Ai and I decided to share a large bowl of ramen and Sat got sushi. We talked about the upcoming concert and while making sure Aina wasn't too bored and that she was comfortable and feeling okay. When the ramen come I noticed there were pieces of seaweed, I quickly grabbed the bowl before Ai noticed and started picking out the seaweed. She looked at me until I grabbed her and moved her closer to me. I placed her on my lap so she couldn't see it or smell it, Sat just looked at me in confusion.
Me: she hates seaweed
Him: does it make her sick?
Me: not really
Him: mmmm I would of thought the pregnancy would of…
me: what, how do you know!?
Him: I can see her bump.
I felt Aina moving and breathing harder , I looked down to see her sobbing. I leaned down and kissed her head.
Me: you look beautiful, don't worry.
She hated it when someone noticed that she was pregnant. That's probably why she wouldn't wear outfits that showed off her stomach, even though I personally love being able to see it as it reminds me of what we created together with our love.
I continue picking out the seaweed before Aina came back up and ate it. I moved her chair closer to me and brought my arm around her. She was tired so she got extra cuddly and leaned into me. I helped feed her the ramen, knowing she needed to eat. I smiled fondly at the woman I loved, as I was always happy to take care of her and make her happy. Could she be any more cuter I thought to myself. I looked up and saw Sat looking at us and laughing.
Me: what are you laughing at?
Him: I haven't seen this side of you before.
Me: I don't show it often.
Him: I think Kussun makes you all lovey-dovey, it's cute.
I started to blush and continued eating.
When we were all done, Aina and I headed to get ice cream, even though Aina was seeming like a zombie. She was craving ice cream and everyone knows when a pregnant women is craving food it's best to give it to her. When we arrived at the shop Aina ordered a strawberry and vanilla double scoop on a cone. I wasn't very hungry so I just watched her cutely eating it, admiring the way her lips curled into a smile as her desires were sated. She looked so happy with that big smile of hers that I felt like could brighten up the entire world - Almost like a little kid enjoying an ice cream.
The next day was the concert, it didn't start till 6 so we didn't have to be there till 3. It was nice to sleep in with ai in my arms, she was super cuddly like always. There was no better feeling than revelling in the warmth of the woman I loved. I ended up waking up at around 10 but she was still fast asleep. I wanted to do something nice for her so I decided to make her breakfast in bed for being such a strong mother to our unborn child. I put on my hoodie and ugg boots before heading down to the restaurant. I got two plates and filled them up with rice, bacon, hash browns and sausage and somehow made it up to our room without spilling it everywhere, I knocked on the door before entering. When I entered I saw Aina half asleep, I think she was partially waking up at that point. I walked over and kissed her before giving her breakfast, she kissed me back before saying thank you.
When we were finished we got changed, I changed into a multi color sweater with a black tracksuit pants. Luckily I overpacked and had some clothes for Aina, she chose to wear my favourite green jumper with black tights. It was 11 by the time we got ready, we needed to kill time. We decided to go for a walk to find a nice coffee shop as I was craving coffee. It was a nice walk, especially as I got to hold hands with Aina. It was nice to relax and spend time with her, as we barely see each other. after half an hour we found a local coffee shop, since Ai sadly couldn't experience the coffee she got a hot chocolate instead. The coffee I got was delicious and the cake we got to share, which I'm pretty sure the baby loved. Ai ate most of it, as the baby "wanted more" (her words). We stayed there for an hour and half before heading back, we decided to watch TV before I headed to the concert. There was a knock on the door, I answered it and saw the costume designer for fripSide and Love Live yui . She was quite close with us and knew of mine and Aina's fondness for each other . In her hands there were two black suit bag things. She lied them down and opened it up.
Her: this is the costume for the encore
Me: it looks so cool.
Her: I got kussun a matching one!
Ai: ahh thank you!
The outfit consisted of a black shirt with orange writing, a black skirt with decoration on it. I got told to wear black tights and Doc Martin boots. Mine fitted perfectly but Ai's needed little adjustments to make it smaller. I think she made the fit to go over the bump so you couldn't see it.
The time everything was sorted we headed the venue, ai was going to entertain me backstage. When we arrived I headed straight on stage to do sound check and sort out any last minute changes.
When that was done I headed to hair and makeup, I slowly made my way up to the room. I was texting mom and Emitsun on the way, keeping them updated on everything. I was lucky enough to get my own dressing room and when I entered I saw Ai sitting on the couch. She was leaning back, with same of her top lifted over her stomach and was taking pictures of it. It made me happy seeing her so excited for our baby and made all the stress worth it.
I just watched her for a little bit until she put her phone away, she surprisingly lefted her shirt up and rubbed her stomach.i shut the door and walked over her and sat next to her.
Me: you seem happy
Her: oh yoshi. You missed the baby kicking.
Me: so that's why you were taking pictures
Her: you can see the tiny footprint!
She showed me the pictures of it, it's quite cool. We heard a knock on the door, I grabbed a blanket from my bag and place it over ai. She looked all cuddly and warm, I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and bring her closer to me. Turned out to be the hair and makeup artist, I got up from the couch and went over to the chair. They put on hair extensions in that made it to a high pony, they curled the ends of it. They put this weird hat kind of thing into my hair and did my makeup simple. They used clip on earrings which were big white diamonds. After that was done I got into my costume, it was a white straight down dress. It has a long kind thing at the back, I wore white striped stocking with high heels. I walked over to Ai to kiss her and dropped my jacket on her lap before heading out to meet with the rest of members.
The concert went good, I felt more relaxed knowing aina was safe backstage and watching me. I decided to be more myself than the serious person I usually am during the concerts. After the encore I walked backstage all tired, next thing i knew I felt a strong grip around me. I looked down and saw Ai hugging me, she had a giant smile on her face.
Her: YOU WERE SO GOOD NAN-CHAN!
me: ahh thank you Kussun
I gently kissed her on her forehead and got out of the embrace where we walked hand-in-hand to the dressing room. She sat on my lap while I took off my makeup, she was more heavier than I remembered. We went straight back to the hotel where we went straight to sleep.
The next morning we got changed and headed for our shopping trip. I was kinda excited to go shopping with her and spend quality time together.
We went to a department store where they sold lots of clothes. The first thing that caught my eye were a pair of blue and black checked leggings, it seemed Ai had the same idea. We started searching for her size.
Me: do you know what size you are?
Her: not any more…
I decided a medium or large might be a good starting point. We grabbed both and a white tshirt to try on, we find a nice big jacket. It was grey and wool. I thought this could be good for hiding out in public. There was this greyish big sweater, it was also knitted. Aina picked it out and fell in love with it, we got one size bigger to make it loose. We also got a couple pair of jeans and loose tops before heading to the change room. The medium size were a good fit but wouldn't give her growing room, the large were to long and big. If the leggings didn't suit her I would say screw it and not buy them, we just got the medium. The first white tshirt we tried was tight but gave a nice outline of her body, I loved it. Ai looked at herself in the mirror and cried, gotta love these hormones. I hugged her and kept telling her it's a nice shirt for around the house and could always wear a jacket on top. This made her calm down enough for her to try the rest. I'm surprised we bought everything that we tried on,must be our lucky day. The time we got everything it was 3 and I was hungry and aina was craving hamburgers. I think this is the first time she has mentioned a craving, so we walked around trying to find a place that does hamburgers. We just got McDonalds in the end, I hadn't been to McDonald in years. I forgot how childlike it is, seeing all those happy meals and the toys make me even more excited. I can't wait to buy happy meals and them watch them play in the park.
Me: how hungry are you?
Her: very
Me: large or medium?
Her: medium
Once we ordered we grabbed a table, we sat there in silence. I don't think anyone of us were in a talking mood, our food was ready. The burger and fries were good but I could feel how unhealthy they were.
When we were done eating we headed back to the hotel to pack up our things, our train would leave in 2 hours.
We arrived late at night and we both realise we have a love live practice tomorrow. Honestly I didn't want to do it or ai but we couldn't think of a good excuse to not do it. I will just make sure I keep an eye on ai. We have been practicing once and while for the past 3 months but with the concert coming up we need start doing it everyday. I'm excited because today was the costume fitting, we got asked to go in extra early and meet with Yui our costume designer. She knows about Ai and I assumed she made special costumes for her. Yui measured her waist and chest, she mentioned how her costumes would be loose around the bottom and tight on the top. This would give the impression she's skinny, it worked for me. Ai wasn't talkative during the fitting, which is usually for her. While I was there I got measured and fitted, she did the fripside costumes so she already got my lasted measurements. After everything was sorted we ended for praise, I still think aina shouldn't do it but what are you going to do. Throughout the practice I made sure she got lost of water and taking breaks, she more tired quickly which doesn't surprise me. After practice we got home and had a hot bath together.
