Heyy Readers. How's it hanging? I know I say this all the time, but thank you guys for all the favorites, follows, views, comments, for everything. I fucking love you guys and you make me so happy and I couldn't do any of this without you guys. Last time we read Yata and Aya found out they were going to be parents and I revealed who was the new king. Anna is just so cute! How do you think this is going to go? What's the baby going to be? Boy or girl? What should the name be? Leave me comments and tell me what you think.
So, without further a do, let's make it do what it do-
"Dammit!" I cried and tried zipping my pants up a third time. It wasn't even budging. I hadn't gained that much weight. I mean I was barely even showing, but none of my pants fit! "Yata!" I screamed and flopped down on the bed.
"What is it?" My amazing boyfriend came running into the room. "Are you ok? Is the baby-"
"I can't get my pants to fit." I whined.
He laughed at me lightly and then leaned down to kiss me softly. "Babe, they're not supposed to. It means the baby is growing."
"But I don't have any pants to wear." I pouted.
"You have your leggings and my sweatpants. I wouldn't say you don't have any pants." He rolled his eyes and helped me up. He went to one of the dresser drawers and pulled out a pair of black stretchy leggings. "Put these on and come downstairs. We're supposed to be leaving soon."
"Ok." I sighed and let him kiss my forehead. He left the room after that and I swapped my favorite jeans that didn't fit anymore for the stretchy black material that were going to become my new best friend. I pulled one of my t-shirts on and then zipped up one of Yata's hoodies. I forced my sneakers on and then went downstairs. Akagi, Dewa, Kusanagi, Anna, Rikio, and Yata all waited for me in the bar. Why so many people were going baby shopping with us today? I don't know, but I didn't mind at the same time.
Anna immediately latched onto me and everyone start making jokes about how I was holding them up. I gave them all the finger and then we left. Rikio and Akagi rode on his motorbike and Yata rode his skateboard while Kusanagi drove the rest of us in the Van. We headed straight for the mall, which I knew Yata wasn't looking forward to. When we got there so many people avoided us and even the women in the baby stores steered clear of us. Judgmental prudes.
"I like this one." Anna said softly and held up a little baby onesie. It was a little brown onsie with a hoody that looked like a little teddy bear outfit.
"That is cute." I laughed and let her drop it in the cart. "We're going to empty Yata's bank account." I smirked and ruffled her white hair. She had picked up little black booties, cute red pacifiers, and other various baby things. We hadn't even moved on to the important thinks like a crib yet.
"You've got to get this one, Aya." Rikio laughed and held up a black onesie with the words "I'm Cute. Mom's Hot. Dad's Lucky." on it.
"I like it." I laughed. "What about you, Yata?" I asked and looked around for him. He wasn't there. "Where'd he go?" I turned and asked the boys.
"Where do you think?" Dewa raised a brow.
"Yata," I groaned and forced myself not to face palm. I walked around the corner and to the window where I saw Yata across the way in Zooms. "Hold this." I shoved the basket in Rikio's hand and stormed out. I walked straight into the storm and wacked Yata over the head.
"Ouch!" He spat.
"What the hell are you doing over here? You're supposed to be helping me." I snapped.
"I saw this." He scratched the back of his neck and held up a small skateboard.
"Yata," I giggled and took the board from his hands. "We don't even know if the kid will like skating."
"Of course he will." He snapped.
"Or she." I muttered and looked at the board. It was kind of cute. The bottom was blank and metal. "How much is it?"
"I was just looking." He shrugged and took the board back. "We don't have to get it."
"Yata, how much is it?" I rolled my eyes.
"Fifty." He said shyly.
"Fifty for a small board?" I went wide eyed. I sighed and raked a hand through my hair. "This kid better like skating."
"You mean-"
"Just pay for the damn thing." I snapped. He walked off and paid for it. He put it in basket when we got back over to the baby store. When we got back Akagi and Chitose were arguing about whether the baby would be a boy or girl. Apparently Akagi thought it was going to be a girl and Chitose didn't agree with that.
"Even if it was a girl Aya and Yata wouldn't dress it in frilly pink dresses." Chitose snapped.
"How do you know? You're not them." Akagi retorted.
"Ayame doesn't even wear dresses, idiot!" Chitose yelled.
"They're going to get us kicked out of here." I groaned and placed my forehead on Yata's shoulder.
"Will you two shut the fuck up and stop acting like pussies?" Yata snapped, shutting the two up quickly. "We don't know if the baby is a boy or girl yet, so why don't you two fucking idiots leave the whole dress thing alone."
"Yes, sir." They bowed and Akagi threw the dress behind him.
The rest of the next hour consisted on Akagi and Chitose showing me two totally different set of clothes. I went with the unisex things that Yata, Anna, and I picked out. Even Rikio picked out better things then those two. One of my favorites was one of the onesies Rikio picked out as a joke. It was white and had the words 'I've proof my daddy doesn't shoot blanks' on it. Yata blushed and threatened to kill Rikio for even picking it up, but I found it to be hilarious and put it in the basket. We found a few baby beanies which Yata demanded we get, and we even found several baby sweaters that looked a lot like his. This baby was going to be a mini Yata...I could already tell.
"Has anyone seen Mr. Kusanagi?" Rikio asked as we were being rung up.
"No." I said and paid the woman. "Why?"
"Well, I haven't seen him since we got here." He explained, scratching the top of his head.
"He's probably just shopping around for the bar or some shit like that." Yata shrugged and took the bags from my hand. "Don't worry about it." He shoved the bags into Akagi and Chitose's hands and draped an arm over my shoulder.
"Kusanagi." Anna said quietly. I looked down at her and followed her gaze outside the shop. There he was folding something up and shoving it into his pocket nonchalantly.
"There he is." I said and pointed. We all walked his way, Rikio and the two others actually ran. "Hey, where'd you go?" I asked as we came closer.
"Nowhere." He said coolly and pushed his glasses up.
"Very funny, Kusanagi. Where were you?" Yata pressed.
"Present." Anna said softly, looking up at the blond bar owner.
He sighed and raked a hand through his hair. "Damn, Anna. You caught me." He smirked and ruffled his hair. "You killed the surprise."
"What kind of present? For who?" I jumped on the subject, a smile spread across my face.
"Now that you're going to have to wait and see." He chuckled and then ruffled my hair. I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. "What else do you need?"
"I don't know." I sighed and looked over to the bags that Akagi and Chitose had. "We got clothes, pacifiers, bottles, diapers, blankets, beanies, booties, and I think that's it."
"No plushies?" He raised a brow. "The kid's going to want toys."
"We don't even know if it's going to be a boy or girl. Aren't there certain plushies for like each gender?" Yata asked and rubbed the back of his neck. I rolled my eyes and looked back to Kusanagi.
"I didn't see any that were all that cute in the store." I admitted. Yes, I was picky when it came to little stuffed toys. My kid was going to have the most kick ass, cutest little plushy ever. I suddenly yawned, sleep rolling over my super hard and fast. "I think we should come back for stuff like that. I'm a little tired."
"If that's what you want." Kusanagi smiled and then looked to Yata. "Why don't you take her home? Me and the others will shop a little more."
"Yes sir." Yata nodded his head and looked down at me. "You want me to carry you?" I yawned and nodded.
"Come on, Anna. Let's let them go home." Kusanagi said and held his hand out to Anna.
"Ok." She responded softly and left my side.
I climbed onto Yata's back and then said goodbye to the others. Before we even left the store I was out like a light. I only woke up for a second when we got to HOMRA and Yata helped me out of my leggings and into bed.
"Aya," Yata said softly, shacking my shoulders.
"Hm?" I muttered, my eyes still closed and my body still curled up in bed.
"Kusanagi and the others want to show you something." He said and pulled me up into a sitting position. "Come on. Get up."
"Can't they show me tomorrow?" I yawned.
I heard Yata chuckle lightly and then he said, "It almost is tomorrow." He started helping me into a pair of his sweatpants, hurrying me along.
"How long was I asleep?" I yawned.
"A long fucking time. You went to sleep at like two this afternoon and it's almost midnight now." He laughed and kissed my forehead. "You were out like a light." I smiled sleepily and let him lead me off. We were outside my old room, but when I went to ask why we were there Yata opened the door. I gasped and clapped my hands over my mouth.
"Holy Hades," I gasped and looked around my old room. The walls had been painted an amazing red and the curtained had been changed to a grey sheer fabric. Against the wall my old bed had been swapped for a wooded black stained crib with a little red mattress and black and red blankets folded up in the corner. I saw little octopus plushies around one large black one. I picked it up and turned it around and saw the red HOMRA symbol on it's back. I looked around and saw a little black wardrobe. I opened it and saw red and black towels folded up at the bottom, baby oil, lotion, powder, and soaps stacked along one of the shelves. I opened a drawer and saw little red and black pacifiers, bottles, teething toys, and other little things in it. I opened another and saw diapers all lined up in it. I turned around and saw the changing table. It was black with a little red mattress on it and diapers, powder, and lotion on it. There was a little fire plushy laying on it. A little red carpet laid on the ground and a little skateboard leaned against the changing table with a small pair of blades hanging from the crib post. I opened the closet and saw little clothes hung up, little booties and shoes line along the floor, and a little plastic dresser with other little clothes and items in the drawers. On the top of the plastic dresser was little beanies stacked up.
"You guys did all of this?" I choked out.
"While your lazy ass was sleeping." Dewa joked and nudged my shoulder.
"It's perfect." I cry-laughed.
"That's kind of what we were going for." Akagi ruffled my hair.
"This little one is going to be so spoiled." Chitose smirked and patted my back.
"It's going to be bad ass." Yata pipped in, slinging his arm around my shoulder. "I told you that." He laughed and placed a hand on my stomach. Suddenly a small pain hit my stomach, but it didn't hurt to bad. My eyes widened and looked to Yata. He was smiling from ear to ear.
"Did it just-"
"I think so." He nodded and moved his hand slightly. It kicked again.
"What's are you doing, Yata?" Rikio raised a brow.
"The baby's kicking you fucking fat ass." Yata snapped and the baby kicked again, this time a little harder as if to agree. I laughed and rubbed my slightly swollen belly. I was only about three and a half months along, so I guess it was around the time to start feeling him or her moving around in there.
"Do you find out what you're having today?" Rikio asked for maybe the fourth time since I had woken up this morning. I thought it was cute that all the guys were excited about this baby.
"Yes." I giggled and looked down to my slightly swollen stomach. I was tracing patterns on it, feeling the baby move inside.
"I think it will be a boy." Chitose uttered.
"Nah, it's going to be a girl." Dewa said from the bar.
"What do you think, Aya?" Kusanagi asked, grabbing my attention.
"I don't care." I said truthfully. "As long as he or she is healthy, happy, and HOMRA I'm perfectly ok with either." I rubbed my stomach and felt the kick against my rib cage. "I can tell you that their going to be a kicker though." I winced and admitted.
"Little guy's got a short fuse like Yata." Dewa joked.
"Nah, like Aya." Chitose argued.
"It's like both of them." Kusanagi groaned, rolling his eyes.
I laughed from my spot on the couch, Anna next to me looking at her crystal beads again. I think she was trying to find out what it was going to be. She had been for the last two weeks after she found out our next appointment was to find out the gender. I played with her silver hair and watched her focus. She was just too cute sometimes.
"What do you want it to be, Anna?" I asked.
"Girl." She said softly, eyes still on the beads.
"Are you saying that's what you want or that's what it is?" Chitose shot up.
Anna went to answer, but Yata, Rikio, and Akagi came bursting in. Yata was beating the hell out of the two and they were begging for mercy. I'm guessing the assignment didn't go so smoothly. Yata was yelling and cursing loudly and the louder and more aggressive he got the harder the baby's kicks got.
"Yata!" I snapped and everything fell silent. "I'm going to assume that you have every right to kick the shit out of these two, but will you please keep it down. The louder you get the harder it kicks." I groaned and raked a hand through my hair.
He growled and then faced the other two. "You two are beyond fucking lucky." He said lowly and smacked the two around a little bit more. He took a deep breath and then faced me. "Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Let's do this." I smiled and got up.
"Nice to see you again, Ayame." Dr. Mira smiled widely as she walked into the room. "How have you been feeling?"
"Great." I smiled. "A little sore from all the kicking, but other than that I've been great."
"So, the little guy is kicking, huh? Right on schedule." She laughed and sat down on the rolling chair next to me. "Alright, let's see what you two are having." She said and put that cold gel on my gut. She put that weird looking x-ray thing on my stomach and started moving it. She pointed out the ten fingers, ten toes, two arms, two legs, two eyes, mouth, and nose. And then she looked closer to the screen.
"Well, looks like Yata's going to have a lot more to worry about now." Dr. Mira chuckled and pointed to the screen. "You're having a girl."
I smiled from ear to ear and mutter, "Anna." She was right once again. That little psychic.
"Is that the name?" Dr. Mira asked.
"No." I shook my head. "Just someone who was very right." I laughed and looked to Yata who was pale.
"I think I'm going to have a heart attack." He raked a hand through his hair.
"Nah, just really high blood pressure." I chuckled and squeezed his hand. "This kid's going to be really bad ass now."
"What is it?" Rikio asked as soon as we walked in.
"It's a boy, right? Was I right?" Chitose bit his lip.
"No! It's a girl. I was right." Akagi and Dewa snapped.
"What is it you two?" Kusanagi asked nonchalantly.
"Girl." Anna said and looked directly at my stomach.
I sighed and ruffled her hair. "Once again, Anna is right."
Everyone but Chitose cheered. I was so happy to have so many people excited for this baby. Now that I knew the gender, there was a room ready for her, and so many people ready to meet her, I don't know if the nine months could go fast enough for me.
