Chapter 10

Our honeymoon was like paradise. We went to a far away place, and spent many romantic nights on the beach.
Now we have arrived back at the village, it's probably about midnight.
I was half asleep in the carriage, resting my head in Guy's lap. I think Guy is fast asleep, due to his soft snoring.

"Madaam? Sir? We've arrived." Says the driver. "Zz-Hn-wha? Oh right!" Guy says, waking right up. I groan and go to sit up when Guy uses his arm to make me lie back down again. "What're you doing?" I groggily ask. "I'll carry you in." Guy yawns. I shrug my shoulders, I wasn't gonna argue.
Guy picks me up and I cuddle up to him sleepily as he carries me. He gently lays me down on the bed where I almost instantly fall asleep.

I wake up the next morning to find Guy sleeping in for a change. I get up and stretch, my reflection in the mirror catches my attention. "Wh-what!" I look down to my belly, which was now even bigger. I rush to the mirror, holding my belly. It wasn't that much bigger, but I could notice it had grown. I pout at my reflection. "Maybe I should start dieting." I mutter. I hear Guy moan as he rolls over to hug me.. "MATSU!" He shoots straight up when he realises I'm not in bed. "I'm right here Guy." I say, checking out my belly still. Guy lets out a very big sigh as if he had been saved from death. He gets up and stands beside me. "I'm worried Guy, I'm getting fatter." I grumble. "I wonder why.. We hardly ate anything on our honeymoon.." Guy says, scratching his head. Then he gasps as though he was going to pass out. "Wh-what if something's wrong! What if you have some sort of disease or or-" "Guy, relax." I say, resting my hand on his shoulder. "I'll go visit the hospital." I say. "I'll come too!" He says. I nod. "But I'll have a shower first." I say. "Right, and I'll erm.. Cook breakfas-" "No!.. Heh.. No, that'll be fine. You just.. Get dressed, I wont be long." I say, taking my shirt off, making him blush.

After a nice shower and my cooked breakfast we head off to the hospital.

"Good morning ma'am. Come right in." Says the nurse. We go in to the room and sit down. "So what is the problem?" She asks. "Well, I've noticed my stomach growing a lot lately, and I haven't been eating a whole lot, and I've been keeping up with my exercise.. So I was wondering what's going on." I explain. "Hm.." She looks back and forth between me and Guy. She clears her throat. "Not meaning to be invading your privacy, but have you two had any *er-hem* 'intimate' nights?" She asks. "Urr.." I look to Guy, who's face was red. "C-come to think of it.. But that was weeks ago.. Why do you ask?" I ask. She smiles and nods. "Hold on, I wont go making any assumptions, so, I'll just give you this.." She says, pulling something out of the draw of the desk. "There's a bathroom just down the hall and to the left, you'll see the sign." She says, putting something in my hand. I look down. "Oh.." I stand up and bow to her as I leave the room. Guy was about to stand up when I put my hand on his shoulder. "Just wait here." I say.
So I go down into the bathroom and urinate on the stick. I watch the result as it fades in. I smile at the little red .
I go back to the room where Guy was getting restless. "Guy.." I croak as I enter the room. He immediately stands up. "What is it Matsu? What's wrong?" He asks. My eyes leak a tear and I smile at him. "M-Matsu? What is it?" He panics. I give him a big hug. "Guy, I'm pregnant." I declare. I heard him gasp and he backs off in disbelief. "Wh-what? Are you sure?" He asks. I hold up the stick and wave it around. "Yes." I say. "M-M-Matsu..." Guy looks down. My smile disappears. "Guy?.. Is something wro-" "I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER! THIS IS THE MOST SPECIAL DAY OF MY LIFE!" Guy cheers, with his fist in the air, and tears rolling down his face from happiness. The nurse stands up. "Congratulations dear." She says, giving me a friendly hug.
"My gosh! We must think of names!" Guy says. I chuckle. "Guy, don't go rushing it." I say.

"WHOOO!" Guy was restless walking back home. He would run ahead of me then back, and that continued basically the whole way. He danced around like a small child in the biggest candy shop.
He ran ahead of me again, dancing around. "Matsu?" Kurenai approaches me. "Oh, hello Kurenai." I say. "What's happened to mister green beast prancing around?" Kurenai asks. I smile and give Kurenai a hug. "Wh-what're you doing?" She asks, really freaked out. "Oh Kurenai-chan! I'm pregnant!" I announce, letting her go. She gasps excitedly. "Really? Gratz." I hear Asuma say. "Oh! Asuma! I didn't see you there." I laugh. "MATSU! OH MY LITTLE GIRL IS ALL GROWN UP!" Kurenai exclaims. "Kurenai, just 'cause you're older than me." I frown. Asuma chuckles to himself.
"ISN'T IT GREAT? No, it's more than great.. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY!" Guy declares, appearing beside me again. "Well well, grrr." Kurenai jokingly growls like a panther. I blush and hit her. She and Asuma laugh. Asuma put his arm around Kurenai and pulls her beside him and grins. She chuckles and growls at him, hands like claws and all. "Save it for later you two." I say. Kurenai hysterically laughs. "Okay okay." She says. "You two have fun." Asuma says, picking her up and carrying her away. I smile at Guy who had the biggest grin... He had gotten an idea...
Next thing I know I was swept off my feet and being carried away. "G-Guy, this isn't necessary." I say. "Oh yes it is! Pregnant women must be relaxing!" Guy says. I roll my eyes. "Yep, sure." I reply.

Guy sits me down on the couch and puts my apron on. "What would you like for lunch?" He asks. "... Ugh.."
