~ 3 ~
Secret. That single word was like a Christmas morning for a five year old. It lightened up the heart of the young woman and opened new doors within the fiscal world.
Nabiki stood in front of the couple, food in hand, and a suspicious look on her face. She looked at Ranma and then turned to her younger sister and smiled.
"N-Nabiki," Akane stuttered. She didn't know if it were safer to walk away or talk their way out of the situation all together. This was definitely not what she had planned for the day. This was all too much to plan for one day.
Ranma made a quick attempt to get out of the evil claws known as Nabiki, "Can't I have a nice discussion with my tomboy wife here without being interrupted?"
Nabiki grinned, "It all depends on what that conversation is about. It sounds like you're keeping a big secret from the family," She looked at her little sister, "But don't worry, sis. I won't force anything out of you right now." And with that she went into the house.
"Shit! She knows!" Akane cried out.
"Maybe she doesn't, we don't know."
Akane turned to Ranma, she was obviously trying not to vent her rage on the closest thing. "It's Nabiki." She reminded him.
"Crap."
The couple walked into the house and made all attempts to avoid everyone in order to continue with daily activities. After a night of training, dinner, awkward glances, and homework Akane was tired.
After dinner Ranma, not one for studying, spent his time in the dojo. He practiced beyond the state of exhaustion. It wasn't until midnight that a worried Akane went into the room. She slowly walked up to Ranma who was trying out new moves on the kick bag.
"Ranma, stop." She told him.
He continued his workout, ignoring her.
"Ranma!" She yelled as she splashed cold water on him.
"What the hell?" The now feminine voice complained. He walked up his wife, "Leave me alone."
Akane was hurt by this. "Fine. Be stubborn!"
Her day was already bad enough and now her own husband didn't want her to be around. She turned to walk back to bed but a hand stopped her.
"Wait. I'm sorry," Her apologetic husband said as he embraced her.
They both seemed to calm down in each other's arms. Akane was comforted by Ranma's body heat. She knew he was even more worried than she was. She pulled away from him and they went into the bathroom. She turned on the hot water for her current female husband so that he could make his magical transformation back into his own body.
He stepped into the bath and it was then that he realized how exhausted he was. Ranma smiled at Akane. Since when did she become so caring? Was she always able to do this to him or was it only recently? He caressed her cheek as she sat next to the tub.
"Wanna join me?" He asked her.
She smiled and removed her clothing to step into the tub. Funny how just a few months ago she would have been too embarrassed to do so, but now here she was stripping in front of the boy. She stepped into the warm bath and sat across from Ranma. He pulled her closer to himself.
When they were like this everything fell back into place. The crap day they had just had did not seem so crappy. They had never really taken a bath together so this had to be the first time. Akane looked up and kissed his cheek and in return he kissed her. The kisses started as sweet pecks, but soon became full of want and lust. Ranma gently pulled her into his arms. They say there for awhile until it seemed right to go to bed.
The next morning Ranma woke up with Akane laying on his chest. Ignoring the time he played with her short hair. Akane woke up and smiled at her lover. She yawned and refused to sit up, so she scooted closer into Ranma's body. Which wasn't helping Ranma wake up in the right places.
"What time is it?" She asked.
He checked the clock, "We're already going to be late for school, so let's take our time."
She usually wouldn't have agreed to that, but her mind was still stuck on the previous night. She stood up and stretched before her stomach took over causing her to dash for the bathroom. Knowing the cause, Ranma followed.
"How long is this supposed to last?" He asked her, the topic being her morning sickness.
Akane finished washing her mouth out, "Hopefully not long," she sighed.
The two got ready and went to eat breakfast.
Akane felt sicker than usual and Ranma could tell. He didn't know if she was so stressed she had actually gotten herself sick or what. He didn't want to worry her so he continued to be his cocky self.
They made their way to the dining room. They sat down and started eating the well-made meal as usual, and awaited the teasing. It wasn't long into their breakfast until Akane's older, less conservative sister butted in on their life.
"Oh, Ranma! Right there, please, there." Nabiki moaned mimicking, or at least trying to mimic, the events from last night. And this time she wasn't making anything up.
Embarassed, Akane stood up, "We are going to school now!" She quickly made her way to the door with her book-bag in hand.
Ranma quickly got up and followed her. Once they made it out the door he laughed, "You should really be quieter, but I can't blame you I am just that good." He joked before getting a hit in the face.
Akane sped up, "We're late."
And they made their way to school. Akane watched Ranma walk on the fence. It was in that moment she realized how much she truly loved him. And she was beginning to love the stranger growing inside of her. Then it hit her. What about the school clubs she was in? Sure she was married so they would probably not kick her out, but what about all the other problems in school she would face being pregnant.
Ranma felt Akane's eyes on him, but refused to turn to her. He didn't know what to say about how he felt. He was angry at himself for not knowing what to do. What would she be giving up? What would he be giving up? He had been thinking about it all night long, and it hadn't lost his mind.
Right before the school entrance Ranma jumped from the fence and in front of Akane. He glanced around to make sure there were no witnesses then grabbed onto Akane's arms. He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"Promise me you won't stop loving me." He quickly said.
Akane hesitated, although there was no need to, "I promised that when we got married."
"But I wanna hear it now. You are going to have to give up alot of things you like for the rest of the nine months. For the rest of your life, and I don't want you hating me." Ranma shyly said.
Akane smiled at how cute he could act sometimes. Her smile widened as she spoke, "I promise to love you more these next nine months!" And she closed the deal with a kiss.
