Surprise

"What's wrong, honey?"

Shinra Kishitani made his way down the stairs of his newly bought house with an arm around his wife's shoulders.

Promise me you won't faint?

Shinra laughed somewhat nervously. "What could possibly be that shocking?"

The couple settled down on a wine red couch, a wedding gift from Shizuo. Shinra looked over Celty's shoulder, trying to read the words she was typing, but she kept leaning in the opposite direction so that he couldn't see the message until after it was complete.

After what felt like at least five minutes, she held the phone up.

I'm pregnant.

Shinra stared at the woman beside him, not blinking once. Words like 'what' and 'huh' kept repeating in his head.

"Celty, you told me that was impossible."

Well, I thought it was, but clearly I was wrong!

After a little more staring, Shinra grabbed Celty's hand, rubbing the back of it with his thumb.

"Well, I can't say I'm not surprised, but it's definitely a good surprise! I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl…Will it have a head? Hopefully it'll get more of your genes than mine…"

The doctor rambled on, not noticing the text in Celty's empty hand.

Shinra.

She waved her phone on front of his face, but he was completely oblivious.

Shinra.

Still no response. Celty shrugged. There was only one way to get his attention now. Resting her phone on the cushion next to her, she clenched her fist and punched Shinra in the gut.

This seemed to snap him out of his trance. "Ow, Celty! I didn't even do anything this time? What's the matter?"

Celty was a little hesitant to tell her husband the truth. She hadn't expected him to react so happily, and she felt kind of mean to have to snap him out of it…

Shinra was grinning idiotically in a similar fashion to the way he had smiled when she agreed to marry him.

…But then, it would be much worse to continue this charade any longer. Better to interrupt a two minute fantasy than a nine month one.

April fools.

Shinra's jaw dropped, but he immediately plastered another smile on his face.

"That was mean, Celty! I might just file for divorce!"

I'm guessing that's another April Fools joke?

Shinra returned his arm to its position around Celty's shoulders, and the other soon followed.

"Hehe, you caught me. You know I love you way too much for that."

Celty leaned into the embrace as Shinra planted multiple kisses on her neck. She was unable to text a reply in this position, but she was sure he knew that she loved him too.
