Chapter 6: Truth Soda

Ruka's P.O.V

Yesterday, Hotaru and I visited a doctor. It's been two months since we knew about her condition, but you see, we don't really know how far she is in her pregnancy. Her brother Subaru asked his friend to check Hotaru, at least I know that there is still a part in him that cares for his baby sister. The doctor told us that Hotaru is now three months pregnant. Dr. Suzuki told us that the baby is now sensitive in his or her surroundings. After Hotaru's check up, we bought things that Suzuki-san asked as to buy, things like milk, fruits and some vitamins. I paid for all the things; I promised myself that Hotaru should just worry about the baby and I told her that I'd pay for all the expenses covered in her pregnancy.

So here we are in the barn, I was assigned to maintain the cleanliness of the barn and to feed the animals. Hotaru was sitting in a stool while she caresses her womb and probably observing me, while I do things.

"I don't know how to hide this anymore; I don't want to squeeze our baby just to cover my enlarging belly." She said. I stopped and said "Why don't you buy a bigger uniform?"

"That is a good idea, I'll just ask Amanatsu to make some alterations in my uniform."She replied and I just continued what I was doing. After a couple of minutes, the barn is clean and the animals have food on each of their plates.

"I am done now Hotaru!" I said as I stretched my arms but there was no response from her. I turned to look at her and noticed that she fell asleep. Her face is really angelic when she sleeps, far from the money making blackmailer who eats a ton of crabs. I approached her and kneeled down to have a good look at her. I stared at her and I saw that her hand was still on her belly. I took this as a chance to kiss her and so I did. I closed my eyes and waited for a baka gun but surprisingly she returned the kiss and she wrapped her arms around my neck. A passionate kiss that washed all the worries away, when we separated from the kiss, we stayed in a hugging position.

"I love you." I said, hugging her tighter.

"I love you too." She replied with her most captivating smile. "Ruru,I am hungry now, our baby wants sushi!" I felt my blood ran up into my cheeks because of the fact that she called me RURU with her cute pout. She only calls me that when we're being mushy and cheesy. Our mushy moments together are becoming more often ever since she got pregnant.

I let out a chuckle and brushed some stray hair away from her face."Our baby or just you?" She pouted even more which is very unHOTARU and very adorable. Her pregnancy makes her so loving and not really her. Like one time when Mikan hugged her, she returned the hug and she doesn't bring her baka gun anymore. She really changed, but I guess that will only last for nine months. I stood up and offered her a hand to assist her from standing up, I bid goodbye to my animal friends and made our way to the cafeteria. While on our way to Lunch, Hotaru was clinging on my arm and I can see that she gives an evil glare to all the girls who were staring at us.

"Your fan girls are really annoying.", she said it with disgust. I just smiled; I love it when she's jealous.

We can almost see the cafeteria, suddenly a familiar squeaky voiced made our heads turned to the left. There we saw Mikan dragging Natsume. "RUKA-PYON!HOTARUUUU!". Hotaru just stood there while I waved at them.

" ANNA and Nanoko prepared us lunch." Mikan said. Great, free lunch.

" Where and Why?", I asked.

"It's a picnic! The others are setting the table under the Sakura tree before Bear's cabin!" Mikan answered me with her signature happy voice. "We'll go, it's free." ,said Hotaru while squeezing my hand then she went to Mikan and they went ahead, leaving me and Natsume.

"Imai is friendlier to polkadots these days." , said Natsume as we walk to the picnic destination. My best friend is very perceptive, maybe he knows something is going on, he's just waiting for me to tell him. "Yeah. I noticed that too."

"And she's more affectionate to you, unlike before, you two just walk together without holding hands. Now we see you two, eating each other's mouth." ,he added. I blushed furiously the moment he said "eating each other's mouth". Eavesdroppers. Spies. He deserves a light punch, so I did. Natsume just smirked.

We reached the Sakura tree and saw everyone was seated in a long table. Sumire, Mochu,Inchou, Koko,Kitsuneme, Nanoko, Anna, Mikan and Hotaru already eating.

"I saved a seat for you , Ruka." Hotaru said as she taps the empty chair beside her. I smiled at her and I noticed that her plate was so full of Sushi. I just chuckled at her as she happily munches the food. Everyone was so engrossed to the delicious food Anna cooked for us. Hotaru then tugged my shirt so I turned to look at her. "Ruru, get me some drinks.", she said almost like a whisper. I smiled and nodded. I went to the table where the drinks were placed. I saw a bottle of a purple soda, I grabbed it because it really looks delicious. Then I went back to the table gave her the glass of the purple soda and I also got the same thing.

The meal was good; everyone was having a good time. Then... I suddenly felt the urge to hiccup.

"Hic." I heard Hotaru too. She's also having looked at each other and I know everyone was staring at us too.

"Uh-oh.. I think you got my "Truth soda" Ruka-kun." Said Nanoko. What the hell. " When you drink it, you'll get hiccups and you'll just say the truth. I am sorry." She added.

"I am Pregnant/Hotaru is pregnant." Hotaru and I blurted at the same time.

"3 months."

" We had our first time on my/her birthday." Oh no. We just said it.

By now all of them are looking at us, wide-eyed. " I knew it." said my best became silent, no one moved, and then we burped.

" That's the end of the effect." Said Nanoko, looking down.
