Chapter Eighteen

"Mama, Papa,

you're going to be

grandparents."

I took a deep breath. I was about to tell my father—the most protective father in the world—that I was pregnant. At eighteen, too! I mean, how is he supposed to react? At least I'm married, though, so I think he'll freak out less than he would if I wasn't. But, still, I've just become an adult and now I have to tell my father I'm pregnant; not only my father, though, but my mother too. Although, I think she'll be more accepting than him.

I grab Ikuto's hand as we sit on the couch, and I tuck my hand next to my stomach subtly. We're sitting on my parent's couch while my mother gets tea and my father eyes Ikuto like he's kidnapped me and put a gun to my head. My father's eyes dart down to out entwined hands and back up to Ikuto's face.

"So," my mother says, "how was your honeymoon?"

My dad's glare seems to turn into a death glare. I think I know what he's thinking. You know, what every dad dreads about their baby girl growing up and having a honeymoon—she's no longer the innocent little girl. She has now engaged herself in romantic adult activities.

"Oh, it was great!" I replied. I didn't mention the men, though. "Ikuto and I were asked to do a photo shoot!"

"Oh, how fun!" says my mother.

Ikuto nudged me, knowing I was trying to put it off. I sighed. "Well, there's a reason we're here, though…," I tell them.

My father looks at me now. "Hm?"

"Well," I say. Nothing comes to my mouth, or my brain. I can't think of how to tell them. How can I, when I've barely let it sink in myself? It had really just happened. I relived the moment when I figured out I might be pregnant, when I waited to get the tests, when Ikuto and I waited, and when Ikuto and I celebrated.

"Amu… do you want me to say it?" Ikuto's voice made me come back to reality. It was sweet as honey, his lips right next to my ear, his breath warm and sweet-smelling.

"I think… I think it's best I say it," I say. He nods and I try again. "Mama, Papa," I start, but then Ami walks in.

"Amu!" she says.

"Oh, just in time for some news!" my mom says. "Come, Ami, have a seat between me and papa!"

She does. Now I have one more pair of eyes on my face, expecting amazing news. I'm not saying this news is amazing, but I don't know how they'll react.

"Let's just put it like this…," I start. I think for a second, then say, "Ami, you're going to be an aunt… Mama, Papa, you're going to be grandparents."

My mother's mouth dropped, and my father's eyes widened.

"You… You mean you're…," my mother stuttered.

"Yes, Mama, Papa, I'm pregnant," I said, a tiny smile pulling at my lips. I gave in and I smiled as my mom squealed and hugged me.

My dad's eyes darted to Ikuto, as if harshly asking, "What did you do to my daughter?"

"Papa, think about it!" I said, "Another child to spoil!"

He stopped glaring, though, and finally laughed. "Well, at least you're married…," he said. Then he started to get teary-eyed.

"Oh, don't run away again!" exclaims Ami.

"I… I won't," he said. "My… My Amu!" he starts crying. He hugged me, crying and shouting, "My little girl! My little girl's going to be a… a mother!"

I started to cry and laugh, too. It was a weird emotion.

I see Ikuto smile and he squeezes my hand in a comforting way. Then he lets go and slips his hand away from mine. I look up at him with a questioning glance, my mother and father now both hugging me.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back," he says.

I nod quizzically and watch him walk away. Ami gets up and follows him.

~Ikuto's P.O.V. (Only time, I promise!)~

"Ikuto-san, Ikuto-san!" I hear a girls voice call while I'm walking outside. I turn and see Ami running up to me.

I smiled at her. "Hello, Ami," I say, stopping and turning towards the eight-year-old.

"So… you're going to be the daddy to sissy's baby, right?" she asks.

I smile and nod. "Yeah," I say.

She nods quickly. "So… Oh! Ikuto-san! You're my brother now, so I can call you Ikuto-ni-san!" She giggles. "That sounds funny.

I'm always curious about this little girl. I can't quite place her, and I don't hang around her much, but I know Amu adores her. I smile and walk over to her.

"I guess you can, huh?" I ask.

She nods that quick nod again. It's quite cute, actually. I pick her up. "Let's get you back home," I said. "I bet your family is done with their… embracing."

"They're your family now, too, you know!" she says with a pout.

I smile. "Then let's get back to our family."

SO! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry for the long wait! I just... ANYWAY.
