Morning surprises

It was the third week that of the new schedule that Natsuki had secretly put herself on, she would wake up an hour earlier than her Tasuku, spend about thirty minutes throwing up in the toilet, then she would spend the next twenty getting rid of any evidence left behind of what she had been doing. Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Natsuki stood up and stumbled to brush her teeth, she had finished pouring a good amount of pine sol in the toilet bowl. For the past three weeks she had a suspicion, she had an idea of what her new morning sickness could be, but she was scared of the actual results, but mostly, afraid of what Tasuku will say. After rinsing her mouth she quietly tip toed back to bed and fell under the covers with ten minutes to spare and fell back asleep.

Feeling something press against her cheek she let her eyes groggily open up to see Tasuku smiling down at her, she smiled up at him weakly and sat up on her elbow,

"Hey, good morning" she smiled more naturally now, he grinned, kissed her nose then went to the bathroom, Natsuki sighed, something had to give, she plopped back-gently-on her side again and curled up tightly on her husbands sighed of the bed, inhaling his musky and cinnamon scent. Though, the moment was ruined when Tasuku sat gently by her side and placed his hand to her forehead, she looked up at him and saw his face etched with worry,

"What?" she asked gently, he looked upset as his hand slid to the back of her neck and he rubbed the side of her neck connecting to her spinal cord,

"Tasuku, what's wrong?" she sat up gently, just in case, and let him pull her into his lap,

"Why does the bathroom smell like pine sol?" she blinked and bit her bottom lip, then she sighed and held her head in shame,

"I threw up" she wanted to say again, but…his hand grabbed her chin and gently held her head up so she could look at him,

"Want me to stay home and take care of you?" she smiled at him and leaned into his side, sadly shaking her head no,

"No, you have work today right? Besides if I need anything I'll just call you, or Riko if I really need to" he held her gently before putting her back in bed and got ready for work, after kissing her cheek goodbye he left. Once the front door clicked softly and the lock turned Natsuki flung the blanket off and went to her cabinet then raced carefully to the bathroom and opened the box, revealing a white stick. Doing her business she cleaned her mess and hid the box carefully and waited, pacing the bathroom floor or sitting, curling in the tub, a strange habit she picked up when she was little. After the appointed amount of time had passed she checked the stick and froze…

…Her eyes widened, tears fell as she started to cry happily, she looked at the time and frowned realizing she'd have to wait the whole day to tell Tasuku the news. Cleaning up she curled on the couch and decided to watch all kinds of romance movies.

Tasuku walked into their apartment to see Natsuki curled on the couch, sleeping with a huge stupid happy smile going across her face, as he looked more closely he noticed how she seemed to…glow…he smiled softly, it must be a good dream then and headed over to her. Carefully waking her up she blinked cutely and smiled even more hugely than before and pulled him in for the tightest hug yet,

"Natsuki?" he asked, she pulled away and giggled, when she showed him her eyes they sparkled like a kid in a candy store,

"I have the best news Tasuku!" he laughed at her excitement,

"What is it?" he took his tie off and pulled her onto his lap, which she happily was already crawling on,

"What would you say if…we…have…a…baby…?" her voice trailed off, but the more she slowly she talked the more she began to sound unsure of herself, Tasuku frowned,

"I would be really happy, but, are you asking to have one or what…?" he asked carefully, she didn't say anything; she let the silence do the talking for her as he examined her more closely. Then, slowly she took one of his hands with both of hers and placed it gently on her stomach, she bit her bottom lip hard as if finally sank in, his eyes widened as he met his wife's eyes,

"A-are you sure?" he asked, she nodded, suddenly smiling little by little, he smiled hugely as he pulled her in gently but still tightly and kissed her with all the joy and happiness and passion he had, she kissed back just as much as him, maybe even more so,

"Our baby Tasuku, our baby" she muttered in between kisses, this sure was one heck of a surprise, but a happy one nonetheless.
