"Hey…" The voice echoed around me. "Hey, Andrea. Wake up."

"Nnn…" My eyelids fluttered open as I adjusted to the light and looked at Kyo, hovered over me. "What time is it…?"

"A little after noon." Kyo said. My eyes widened and I shot up.

"What?" I exclaimed. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I figured you didn't have work. Your boss called in to ask where you were a few minutes ago." He said.

"Oh my god I need to go to wo-." A silently creeping sickness in my stomach instantly lurched out and began drawing up my esophagus. I dashed out of bed and shoved passed Kyo and into the bathroom, regurgitating the last things I've ate over the past week into the toilet.

We were back home in my apartment, had had been for about two months subsequent to our honeymoon.

"A…A… Are you all right?" Kyo asked. He rushed over to my side with a cold cloth.

Before I had the chance to answer, I was throwing up again. He rubbed my back and wiped my face.

"I'm just on my break." He said. I felt guilty for me wasting his time. "If you want I'll cancel the afternoon and stay with you if you want, I-"

I put a hand on his arm to stop him, and clutched it for extra measure before I continued to throw up. It hurt so much, and the taste was repulsive. I began crying as I always did after vomiting, letting the tears fall. Believing for once I was finished, the ill feeling gone, I cleaned my face and leaped to him. He hugged me close.

"Go…to work. Don't Miss out on your first day because of me. Whenever I throw up I always have this problem. It hurts… tastes terrible… stings my throat."

"That makes me just want to stay when you say that." He said. I shook my head.

"I'll bring you to the doctor." I shook my head very quickly. "Then if you're going to be so stubborn, then I'll have the guys come over and take care of you." I dropped my hand and sat there on the floor on my own. I felt my head throbbing and moaned before leaning against him. He flushed the toilet and wiped my face before picking me up and carrying me into the bedroom. He laid me down and tucked me in.

"…I'll have them come over. They'll be more than happy to watch over their… somewhat figure of a sister-in-law." He said a joking smile on his face. I gave a small smile, my eye lids growing ever so heavier.

I closed my eye and listened to him in the kitchen as he dialed up the number.

"Hey guys, it's Kyo." He said. "I have work in the afternoon today and Andrea's sick.. she threw up a lot and she won't let me take today off…"

I smiled. He makes me seem so… stubborn over everything I do. It was adorable, even the same.

"Yeah, yeah. Well she wants me to go to work instead of take her to the HOSPITAL like she's SUPPOSED TO." He stressed, making sure I heard those parts. "So I was wondering if you guys would watch over her today until I get back. Thanks. All right, bye."

He patted his feet back into the room and rested next to me, holding my hand. He smiled and kissed my cheek, my eyes slowly drifting me off into a slumber.

-Kyo-

I watched her doze off, then got up and got a sandwich for my break, then headed off when Hiroshi and Kenzi and Kazuo came.

"You three sure you'll be able to handle it?" I asked.

"No problem my newly wedded friend!" Kenzi said.

"Shut up or you'll wake her. We've only been married for a few weeks you idiot." He said.

"It'll be fine. We'll keep the idiot occupied and the mistress pampered." Hiroshi said. I looked over and already saw Kazuo preparing soup. I nodded and thanked them before walking off.

-Andrea-

I woke up with a headache in the start, before I became sick again and sprinted for the bathroom.

"Hey! I see you're-" I rushed passed Kenzi and into the bathroom. "…up."

Hiroshi rushed in and tied my hair back, wiping my face.

"Hey, Hiroshi, doesn't Kyo have a cousin or whatever that's a doctor that we can contact? I think I met him at their wedding." Kenzi said.

"I have soup." Kazuo said, bringing the soup into the bedroom then joining us all as I continued. "I contacted him. We had a lot of things in common so I stroke up a conversation with him. I plan on calling him now. He does house calls."

I squinted my eyes tightly shut and Hiroshi comforted me. He had me swallow some Advil, and I sat there as the toilet flushed again, listening to Kazuo in the doorway talking on the phone. It made me wonder as to why I needed all three guys to come and take care of me, but I guess if it relieves Kyo to know I have three times as much supervision and caregivers then I guess I'll just deal with it.

"Hatori, it's Kazuo. Yes I know. I'm at Kyo's. Andrea's coming down with some illness she's had since she woke up this morning … around noon. You'll be over in a little bit? All right. You know the apartment? Good. I'll leave the door open for you."

"Hatori will be over shortly. I'm going to head over to the store to get more soup." Kazuo said. I washed out my mouth by drinking several glasses of water courtesy of Hiroshi, and He escorted me back to the bedroom. He sat me down and propped me up against the headboard. He placed a tray in front of me and put the bowl of soup on it.

"Here. This should help you in the meantime. You might have a cold." Hiroshi said.

"Or maybe it's something else." Kenzi said.

"Like what?" I asked quietly.

"UNCLE Kenzi WILL NEVER TELL! MA HA HA HA!" Kenzi rushed off. I didn't understand what he meant by that.

"Can I use your kitchen to do a quick blood test?" Hatori asked, as I winced as he drew blood. I nodded once it removed and he placed on a band aid. He got up and smiled a little at me before walking off. "Have some soup in the mean time. Lay off any pills too. The headaches will wear off if you rest for a little while more and don't sit up to fast or anything."

Hatori left the room and I continued doing whatever. A few hours later, Hatori entered.

"Where's Kyo?" He asked. "I believe you both should be here for it."

"Um... he's at work." I said. "What is it?"

"You'll see. Just lay off any alcohol or drugs… stick to the essential and more organic meals like soup for a while." Hatori said. "I'll wait with you if you'd like, and wait for Kyo. Unless you want me to come tomorrow… or whichever would be better."

"How does, tomorrow at noon sound? You choose the place." I said. Hatori smiled.

"I'll come here at noon tomorrow then. He gave me a quick hug and packed his things, beginning to leave. "Congratulations on the new ring by the way."

"Thanks." I said.

The next day at noon, Kyo and I sat at the table, him holding my shoulder concerned as I continued eating soup. Soup was getting a little old honestly.

"Well, I've come to ask you a question first." Hatori said. We paid attention. "Have you two recently been sexually active?"

Our faces darkened in unison. We looked at each other and we slowly nodded. Hatori smiled.

"Well then, I'll be the first to say congratulations." He said. "The blood test came in positive."

"Positive for what?" Kyo asked.

"…pregnancy. Andrea… you're pregnant."

The world stopped. I was… I was…

"Preg… Pregnant?" Kyo stuttered. He got a goofy grin on his face. I looked down at my lower body and put my hands on it.

"How far along?" I asked.

"A month or two." He said. "You'll be due between the April and June area."

"I'm…" I whispered. A smile formed quickly. "I'm pregnant."

"… Are you all right? If… you're not ready it's okay. I'll take care of the baby and stuff if that's what you're worried about. I'm happy about it if you're worried about that. I'll be there for you so don't worry." Kyo said frantically. I looked up and smiled at him.

"I... Kyo… We're…. We're pregnant." I said, a grin spreading on my face. "We're pregnant! We're pregnant!" I exclaimed it as loud as I could handle before it hurt, and I hugged him, tears forming in my eyes.

"So you're happy?" Kyo asked. I smiled widely and nodded my head.

"We're pregnant! We're going to be parents!" I exclaimed. "Ah, I'm so happy!"

I kissed Kyo hard on the lips before breaking away and hugging Hatori, who was taken aback but hugged back shortly. I dashed away and ran to the phone.

"Phone! Phone, phone, phone! My mom... my… my dad…. April, Mason! Ah! Kazuma! Kazuma too! We have to… have to tell everyone! Tell them! Tell them, tell them, tell them NOW!" I rushed.

"Calm down or you'll excite everything going on in there." Hatori said. He calmed me down as I sat down at the table, my list of all time news worthy numbers at my disposal.

"Mom?"

"Yes? Sweetie, how are you?"

"I have news!

"News? Oh, hang on let me three-way your father."

"Hello?"

"Hey daddy."

"Hey sweetie. Hey hon."

"I have news!"

"What is it sweetie?"

"'." I said.

"SLOW DOWN!" The scolded. I blushed.

"Well… we're… I'm… "

"What is it?"

"…You're going to be grandparents. I'm... I'm pregnant." I said giddy. My parents went into a mumble of excitement, my mother more so.

"So spread the word! I'm going to call Kazuma and then April and Kristine and such now. You guys got first hand notice."

"When are you due? How far along are you? Do you have gestational?"

"I'm due around April to June; I'm a few weeks along and…" I turned to Hatori and mouthed my question. He shook his head and mouthed an explanation. "…I'm not a gestational diabetic. If I have a bowl of soup a day for the next month or so I'll be fine."

Hatori gave me information before I went to bed. He told me when I had to come in for an appointment, and gave me the just of my diet now. After a few more obvious things, he left. I went to bed, Kyo happily going to sleep with his hand on my stomach.

The next morning I woke up and stepped into the shower. After I finished cleaning up and let the warm water hit my skin. I put my hand down on my lower stomach. I sighed and turned off the water. I wrapped a towel around me and got out. I put on clothes and began brushing my hair. I walked out and began making breakfast, when Kyo came up and hugged me around the waste. I smiled and turned to look at him.

"Don't you have to call your friend?"

"Yeah, but I'm making breakfast since the guys are coming over today. It's kind of sad that your first day as a soon to be dad had a weekend right after it." I said.

"Tell me about it." Kyo said. "I can't brag much now."

"Hello?"

"April!"

"OH MY GOD! LET ME CONNECT TO THE OTHER LINE!" I waited. And soon all of my friends were on one line talking to me.

"What's up Andrea?"

"I… I'm pregnant." I said. Once again excitement, explanations, and death threats to keep them notified of everything. I laughed.

"I will… plan you a party!" April exclaimed. "Baby shower!"

"You don't have to…"

"No. I will give you a damn baby shower and you will be a happy pregnant hormonal bitch."

"…Okay…"

"Good. Keep me updated! Remember that birthday present a few years ago." She said

"How could I?"I said.

I hung up.

"What's up?" Kyo asked.

"April's forcing a baby shower upon us." I said. Kyo smiled.

"What?"

"Just thinking." He said.

"About what?" I asked, getting nosey.

"You… being pregnant… being a mom." He said. He leaned over and kissed my lips quick.

"What about you, being a softie… being a dad." I said.

"When do I have to bring you to the doctor now?"

"In a couple weeks." I said. A knock came to the door.

"HEY MAN!" Kenzi exclaimed on the other side.

"Come on in." Kyo called. The three busted in and walked into the living room. Kyo, who had been standing behind the couch I was sitting on, jumped up and over to sit next to me. We both looked over at our new company.

"Hey." Kazuo said. "I brought more soup."

"Oh great." I said. "You can just put it in the pantry."

"So did you find out what was wrong?" Hiroshi asked, coming around and sitting on the opposite side of me.

"Yeah! What was up?" Kenzi asked, flopping down on the bean bag he brought.

"Well…" I smiled and Kazuo walked in, taking a seat. "It turns out…"

Kyo and I looked at each other. He smiled and pressed his lips against mine quickly before I turned to the guys. The looked on expectantly. Kenzi leaned forward, the chip hovering in his hand over the potato chip bag.

"We're pregnant." I said.

"Congratulations. I'm glad to hear it." Hiroshi said.

"Yes. A congratulations are in order." Kazuo said.

"SUH-WEET! Gimme skin." Kenzi said. We high fived him. "So what's it going to be?"

"Don't know yet. I won't know for several months." I said. "I'm just going in to see Hatori in a couple weeks to see how the baby's doing. Nothing too special."

"That's wonderful." Hiroshi said. I smiled.
