One week and five positive pregnancy tests later Misa was still unconvinced. She just didn't believe she could be so lucky. That was why Light was currently forcing her to go to see a doctor. He knew that was going to be the only way to convince her it was real. That they really were going to be parents.
"Light I don't want to be here!" Misa complains as they sat in the waiting room.
"Too bad, you need to be here."
She crossed her arms and hmph'd. Of course it was no big deal to him. He wasn't the one who was going to be poked and prodded by a bunch of strangers for nothing. There was no possible way she was pregnant so this whole thing was a waste of time to her. She could think of a variety of other things she would rather be doing right now. Instead here she was stuck in some stupid waiting room, waiting to get the biggest let down ever. She wouldn't be surprised if the doctor laughed in her face when she tells him she thinks she's prego.
"Ugh this is a waste of time!" she whines kicking the air.
Light shot her a dark look and she instantly stopped her mini tantrum. Now she felt bad for acting so immature. She was saved from further embarrassment however when a nurse called her back. That's when fear and nervousness kicked in. Before getting out of her chair she pulled Light up by his arm to drag him with her. She was not going to go through that alone.
By the time they left Misa was speechless. It was confirmed, she really was pregnant. She even saw her little miracle thanks to the ultra sound. It was the most beautiful sight she's ever seen and the smile on Light's face when they saw their baby just made things better. She was on cloud nine and nothing was going to bring her down. Or at least that's what she thought.
On their way back home Misa asked Light to stop by a bakery. Now that she could stuff her face without worrying about her weight she figured she may as well indulge. And now she was craving a huge custard filled doughnut and gooey brownies. Just thinking about the sweets made her mouth water in anticipation. However she lost her appetite when she ran smack dab into Takada. It was then that Misa wished Light would have come in with her. He had stayed outside to call his mother letting her know they were coming over.
"Oh come to make yourself even fatter?" Takada asks rising an eyebrow. She may have been nicer another time but she was currently pissed that she hadn't seen Light in a week.
Misa ignored the comment and smiled. "Aw somebody's pmsing!"
Takada sneered, "How mature."
"Whatever Kiyomi I'm in a fantastic mood and I'm not going to let you ruin it." Misa replied leaving the stunned brunette behind as she went to pick out delicious treats.
As this went on Light watched the exchange through the window with a smile. He didn't know what had been said but he was proud of Misa for ignoring the bitter other woman. She was better than that and he was glad she was beginning to see that for herself. It was also cute to see her spaz out over sweets in a very L like fashion.
Light watched Misa through the glass a minute longer before finally entering the bakery. Ignoring the fact that Takada was now sulking in a corner he went over to Misa and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder. "Are you almost ready?"
"Almost I just need to know if I should get the strawberry cheesecake or the cherry." She replies staring intensely between the two as if it were a life altering decision.
"Alright Ryuzaki, I'll leave you to that." Light jokes stepping back, he feared the fist that would surly hit him for that.
"Ew did you seriously just compare me to that weirdo?"
"Don't lie Misa you know you liked him." He teases.
"Not nearly as much as you did."
Light chose to ignore that comment, "Get the strawberry."
Chuckling Misa completed her order. After receiving her baked goods the couple left ignoring the chilling glare sent their way by one pissed off Takada.
"Light, Misa oh my god you actually came here together for once, willingly!" Sayu shouts racing down the stairs to greet her brother and good friend.
"Oh hush you." Misa chides jokingly as she pulled the other girl into a hug.
"So what brings you two here all of sudden?" Light's mother asks fearing the worse.
"Nothing really, we were just around, figured we would stop by and say hi."
"Yeah right you never just stop by to say hi." Sayu scoffs.
"Your sister has a point Light."
Light sighed; sometimes his family could be so difficult. Glancing down at Misa he found her giving him the just tell them look. He had planned on doing it in a cooler way but she had a point. They may as well get it over with.
"Alright you got us. We didn't just come here to say hi, in fact we have some pretty big news." He says placing his hands on Misa's stomach.
"Are you finally getting married?" Sayu asks.
"What are you talking about Sayu we've been engaged for months now?"
"Then where's her ring?" she asks bluntly.
"We just haven't gotten it yet." He replied slightly embarrassed. He really did feel bad about not getting her a ring yet or even making any attempt to talk about the actual wedding.
Sayu went to snap back with a rude remark but her mother cut her off, "Just let him talk Sayu."
"Thank you mother."
"No problem, now what's this news?" she asks excitedly.
"You're going to be a grandma!" they say in unison.
The two women eyes grew bigger as they stared at the couple in shock. They had to be joking.
"Seriously? But Misa I thought you couldn't have kids?" Sayu asks in disbelief.
"That's what I thought too but I am. We just got back from the doctors and look I have pictures!" she exclaims holding up the ultra sound pictures. After that they all made their way over to the couch to get comfortable before talking more about the baby.
"So how far along are you?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Have you thought of names?"
Misa chuckled, "The doctor said I'm about 7 and a half weeks in. We don't know the sex yet but I'll let you know when we do."
"We haven't even thought about names yet since it took so long for somebody to accept she was pregnant."
"Well what would you have done if doctors kept telling you that you were sterile since you were fifteen and then you found out I was pregnant?" Misa asks him.
"I would have asked you who the other guy was."
Misa rolls her eyes. She should have known Light would reply with a smartass remark. It was so like him. "See you wouldn't believe it possible either so you can't say anything to me anymore."
"Okay Misa, you're right."
"You're only saying that to shut her up." Sayu snickers.
"Who cares if it works." He replies earning himself a slap by all three women. "Geez I was only joking. No need to get so violent."
Takada stormed into her apartment in anger. She hadn't been so pissed off since she found out Ryuuga was cheating on her with that Sayu floozy. Was Light lying to her or was the way he acted an act for Misa's sake? Takada couldn't tell and that's what bothered her. She didn't really care anymore if Light really loved her or not. It was only the power he offered that she cared about now and she was not going to give it up. He would not make a fool of her again either!
In a rage she pulled out her scrap of death note and wrote the first three letters of Misa's name. Before she could write the a she realized what she was doing and stopped. Not only was she above such a petty murder but she knew Misa's death would be troublesome for Kira. It just wasn't worth it.
Taking in a deep breath Takada poured herself a glass of her favorite wine, and then about six more. As she was getting ready to consume the remains of the bottle her cell rang, it was T. It was another long list of names she had to write. It was very bothersome. Not to mention her vision was blurring due to the alcohol.
However Takada was not the type of woman to ignore her work so she pushed through. Once the last name was on the paper she ran it through the shredder and headed to bed. She was done with today. Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be better.
