Bunny stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. She had just gotten out of the shower, and couldn't help but analyze her nude form. She was nearly 11 weeks pregnant and Bunny could tell that her body was changing. Her breasts were tender, her areola and nipples were darker, and her stomach was beginning to pouch.
"Are you almost ready?" Darien's voice floated through the door.
"No," Bunny responded. "My nipples look different."
Darien paused, "…pardon?"
Bunny opened the bathroom door, "look, my boobs are changing."
Darien stared, "you're…Bunny please don't do this to me."
His eyes drank her in. Her milky white skin, the way her wavy blond hair hung to her waist, and of course her breasts.
"See?" Bunny asked while taking his hands and placing them on her lower abdomen. Just underneath her bellybutton.
His hand were trembling as they touched her skin, "Bun."
"Don't you think I look different?" She asked him while tilting her head and letting her long hair fall over her shoulder.
Darien watched the strands fall over her nipple. His hands were on her waist now. Thumbs rubbing circles on her soft skin, "you look beautiful."
It was the truth, she was glowing in a way that left his breathless.
Bunny stood on the tip of her toes to reach up and give Darien a soft kiss. "You can touch me if you want. I know you don't want me to touch you, but I really want you."
"Damn it Bunny," Darien growled before picking her up and placing her on the bed.
"We're going to be late," Bunny stated as she stared up at him while he lowered himself above her. He was still fully dressed and the material of his clothes caused her to shiver.
"You don't say," Darien said sarcastically before suckling on of her breasts.
"Oh!" Bunny let out a breathy sigh while holding onto the sheets beneath her.
His hands moved from her waist to her thighs and separated her legs before kissing his way further down her body.
When he placed her knees over his shoulders and readjusted her hips, Bunny realized what he was about to do.
"Wait, Darien you don't have to—"
"Shut up Bunny."
And then his tongue was lapping against her, causing Bunny to fall back and let out a loud moan.
His tongue darted around her vulva and dipped into her briefly before settling on the top of the most sensitive part of her body.
"Oh my God," Bunny gasped as she felt pleasure from her toes to the tips of her fingers.
As his tongue created a wickedly addictive pattern, two of his fingers entered her and curled upwards. Before they began to pump in and out. She was starting to see stars.
"Please, please, please," Bunny begged, "I need you inside of me."
"I am inside of you," Darien stated while using his thumb to rub against her while his fingers continued to pump.
"Darien," She whined. Her body was beginning to tremble. Her hands gripped his wrist tightly and her knees unsuccessfully tried to pinch together.
"Yes?" His voice was a guttural growl.
Bunny could only squeaked as she was shoved into an orgasm.
Darien kept his hands going, forcing her to ride it out until Bunny began to pull away from him.
Once Bunny was left gasping and experiencing after tremors, Darien got up from where he was crouched and locked himself in the bathroom.
It took all of her concentration to prevent herself from taking a nap. She forced herself out of bed and gathered her clothes before making her way to the guest bathroom to clean herself up and get dressed. She was grateful that Mina was with Amara and that she could have some semblance of privacy.
By the time Bunny was finished brushing her hair and placing it in a sloppy topknot, Darien appeared.
"Your breasts do look different. Bigger," Darien stated.
Bunny looked up at him with wide blue eyes, "right? I knew they were changing."
"Well they're bound to. You are pregnant," he gave her a warm smile, "are you finally ready to go?"
She returned his smile with a bright grin, "yes. My family expects me to be late, so we're going to be right on time."
They had decided on bringing a cake to the Tsukino resident. Some type of strawberry and chocolate concoction that Bunny had claimed that she needed to eat. It was fine with Darien, he would give her any food her heart desired.
In the daylight, the Tsukino family home looked like every other home in the neighborhood. It was an older home with a large front yard and large trees lining up the street. Darien could easily envision Bunny as a child running around and playing outside. It was the type of home that he had always imagined raising his own children in someday.
"Oh great, Sammy's here," Bunny frowned while pointing to the silver Prius that sat in the driveway.
"You're brother?" Darien asked. He was beginning to get nervous as they moved closer to the front door.
"Yeah, he probably came to see how dad reacts."
Bunny opened the door with a spare key and allowed them inside. The foyer led right into the family room, the staircase to the second landing was to the right and a hallway to the left led to the rest of the house.
"They're probably in the kitchen," Bunny led the way.
It was a cozy home. Childhood photos of both Bunny and her brother were hung up on the walls. There were even a few of Bunny with the girls. Darien's favorite was of the five of them at their high school graduation.
The kitchen was at the back of the house and had seen renovations within recent years. Her brother and father were sitting at the eat-in table while her mother stood by the stove, checking on whatever she was making.
"Hey guys," Bunny chirped while nodding towards the box in Darien's hands, "we brought cake."
Ikuko took the box of cake from Darien's hand and placed it in the fridge before coming back and hugging the two.
"Hey meatball, Darien," Sammy nodded from the table.
"Hey honey," Kenji, her father, stood up to give her a kiss on the cheek before shaking Darien's hand. "It's good to see you again."
Bunny began to fidget as soon as her brother, father, and Darien sat at the table and began to talk. She sat on a barstool to watch her mother cook.
"Why don't we go to my room Bun? There's something that I'd like to show you." Ikuko suggested while lowering the temperature on the stove. She instructed Sammy to keep an eye on it before leading Bunny upstairs.
Her parents' bedroom was the same as it always had been. Comfortable and homey, just the way Bunny remembered it ever since she was a child. She sat on the edge of her mom's bed while watching the other woman dig through the bottom drawer of her dresser.
"I found this the other day," Ikuko stated while taking out a gallon zip lock bag. "I figured, if you had a girl, you may be able to use this?"
Inside was an adorably frilly pink sun dress. It was tiny, and had matching white socks that matched.
"Since you were born in the middle of summer, it was so hot. This was the outfit that I brought you home in." Her mom stated while taking the soft dress out of the bag. "I didn't keep much, Sammy's take home outfit didn't last, but yours did. What do you think?"
"It's adorable!" Bunny squealed while carefully taking it from her mother to look at it. There was a pattern of little white bunnies and flowers on the skirt. "This is so cute! If I had a girl this would be perfect mama."
"Girls, the food's done," Kenji stated before pausing at the doorway. His brown eyes taking in his daughter holding the baby clothes. "…what's going on?"
Ikuko and Bunny exchanged glances.
Bunny felt butterflies erupt in her stomach and her hands shook lightly. It was now or never, it was too late to say anything else. "Mom was giving me the outfit that you guys brought me home in."
Kenji nodded, "I can see that." The why was silently tacked onto the end of his sentence.
"Daddy, I'm pregnant."
It felt like ripping off a band aid.
Her father's eyes widened impossibly large and he looked dumbfounded, "Wait. What? You're pregnant?"
Bunny nodded, "Yes."
Kenji nodded before doing an about face out of the bedroom, "I need a cigarette."
They could hear him telling Darien to join him outside in the backyard.
Bunny let out a slow breath.
Sammy moseyed into the bedroom then, a bowl of chili in his hands, "do you think dad will kill Darien?"
Ikuko shook her head, "I'm sure it will all be fine. Come downstairs, we'll eat lunch together while we wait for them to come back inside."
Bunny gently placed the dress back into the bag and followed her family back to the kitchen. She could only hope that her father did not kill the father of her unborn child. It would be difficult to raise the baby alone.

MLL: Short chapter is short. It's not very good, it's because I hated writing it. But brace yourselves, this author's note is going to be a long one.
What made me stop writing wasn't just because I had a child, or that I was left single with no assistance from her donor. Honestly when I had my daughter I felt that all of my creativity vanished from my body. It's difficult to explain, but I'm pretty sure she took it all (she has an active imagination, the beginnings of a true artist!). Over the last few years I would start and stop various stories. Pages of half written ideas jotted down and forgotten. I just couldn't write. Words, which were always so easily accessible, became impossible to string together.
About a month ago I received a review for Bubble Tea. Which shocked me. People were still reading something that hadn't been updating in nearly 3 years. It was amazing that there were people who were still interested. Something clicked and these last few chapters (14 – 16) just flowed, as if this story was dying to finally be told. I wrote these last three chapters in less than a weeks' time and couldn't stop, it took over any free moment that I had.
When I say that I appreciate every reader, and every reviewer, I mean it. You guys have been so dedicated and patient. Thank you so much for being along for this ride, albeit distantly, but still there as a major supporter. Thank you so much!
