The day after telling Teppei started with being jumped on.

Literally.

Fumino and Kazuma Ojiro were woken from their slumber by two small feet and gleeful squeal. Luckily (for Fumino), Teppei chose to plant his feet on Kazuma rather than Fumino.

"Aghh!" Kazuma gasped as he was jolted awake. He opened bleary eyes to peer sleepily at the burry form of Teppei.

"Is the baby ready yet? Is it ready?" Teppei asked excitedly. He leaned down to peer at Fumino from his place on Kazuma's ribcage. Fumino herself was still watching with wide eyes and it took moment for Teppei's question to sink in. When it did she couldn't help but turn to the side and giggle helplessly. She cupped her face in an effort to hide her obvious mirth from her grumpy husband.

Goodness.

She hoped Teppei would never grow up.

"Well? Is it? Is it? Bunchaaaaaa…" Teppei whined. The preschooler hopped down to sit on Kazuma and once more peered at Fumino with wide eyes.

"Teppeiiiiii…" Kazuma groaned.

"Ne?" Teppei tilted his head to glance as Kazuma.

"Get off my lungs please. I need to breathe."

"Oh! Okeydokey, Maa-Kun!" The boy chirped and hopped down to sit between them.

"Ne, Is the baby here yet?"

Kazuma rolled onto his stomach and groaned while Fumino burst into another round of giggles.

"Not yet, Teppei. The baby won't be here for a very long time yet." Fumino finally found it within herself to answer.

"Awww… will it be here tomorrow?"


"Soo… I heard there's gonna be another brat to take to school soon. Guess you and Kazuma have finally gotten serious, ne?" Fumino had Not been expecting this sort of greeting when picking up Teppei from preschool.

For a moment, she stood still as she stared at Ryuu Shindo.

Then, as Fumino began to register what Ryuu had said, she felt her cheeks began to burn with heat.

"Ah… yes. I'm expecting." Better to own it than to deny it and be teased mercilessly. Though it had taken a while, Fumino had finally learned that admittance and acceptance was a much better way to deal with Ryuu than responding to his teasing in kind.

Ryuu smiled a smiled bright enough to power a city.

"Good. I expect copies of the ultra-sound when you get it." And with that, the oddity that Fumino had come to call her next-door neighbor, walked back to the daycare with a happy whistle. Fumino grabbed Teppei's hand and went home. She didn't really want to know how Ryuu had found out so quickly.

Plus, if Ryuu pulled anything too weird she'd sick Kazuma on him.


So... like it says in the summary, these are oneshots. Thus, they might be a little short. Also, I really do think that Ryuu would find out in some unconventional manner, and then go on to tease Fumino and Kazuma mercilessly.

By the way, I'm in a bit of a weird mood right now and I was barely able to make myself write this. For those of you who read my other fics, I'm sorry, I just haven't been able to muster up any writing power.

Please Review and Happy Martin Luther King day!
