My Treasure
Time seemed to slow down to almost a dead stop. After we came back home Shizuru seemed dead, she stayed away from me. She began to push me away, even though I'm trying to comfort her. She's still in the same room, still siting in the same chair, still looking out the same window. I'm behind the door looking at her. My Shizuru...she took that news really hard. She really wanted to carry our child.
I continued to watch her from behind the door. I had tried several times to reach her but they all ended in failure. But I love her...I can't let her suffer alone. Approaching her would be a bit difficult, I don't really know how...
I got to try though.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly walked to her. I knelt down on my knees and placed my hands in hers. That seemed to get her out of her trance as she looked down at me. I looked up at her as I caressed her hands.
"Shizuru..."
She looked down at my hands caring for hers. She tired to smile but it kind of died. I gently rose from the floor and kissed her cheek.
"Nat...suki..."
I somehow made her rise up from the chair. Guiding her to our room, I laid her down on our bed and laid besides her. Without a moments pause she wrapped her arms around me. I repeated the action and smoothed out her hair with my hand. My other hand gently rubbed her back as she placed her head under my chin.
"I'm sorry..." I whispered.
She twitched a little, but I think she finally let herself go. She quietly began to cry, I knew as I felt the warm tear fall on my skin. I placed a small kiss on her cheek as I continued to comfort her.
I can't believe that someone like me can comfort the person I cherish most. That I can repay their kindness by simple action or word.
I feel invincible.
XXXX
About three weeks had passed and Shizuru seemed to recover from the news. We even had sex, something she was hesitant to do since the impact of the news. We were happy again...but...something was missing. It was like a huge hole was created and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I sat at our table and began to think about what that hole was. I was suppose to do some paperwork some idiot pushed on to me, but this problem was more important.
What is it?
What could it be?
I sighed and gave up. I sat up and turned off the light. Knowing my way in the dark, I reached our room and saw Shizuru asleep under the covers. I smiled as I laid besides her. She stirred in her sleep and turned over to face me. She was awake, I kind of suspected so.
"Natsuki...okini."
"For what?" I was confused.
She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a slight kiss on the cheek.
"For everything, I'm so lucky to have you by my side."
I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her. This woman means everything to me...and somehow she wants me as well. But...what's missing?
Suddenly, I had the answer.
I let go of Shizuru and put an arm under my head. Shizuru back away so we were face to face.
"Shizuru, I've been thinking."
"Uh-oh." She smiled.
I smiled as I brought up a hand and cupped her cheek.
"You know...the doctor never said anything about me be not being able to carry a child."
Shizuru almost froze for a moment.
"Maybe...maybe I could carry our child."
"Natsuki...you really want this?" Shizuru asked.
I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I wanna have children with you. You and no one else."
Shizuru smiled at me before giving me a passionate kiss. We parted to breath the air once more, I felt her lifting up my might shirt. I felt myself blush when I felt her fingertips playing at the edge of my breast.
"Z-Zuru!"
She looked at me and smiled as soon as she took off my shirt.
"Ready to make our baby?"
I wanted to respond yes, but my moan answered her as her hand found it's way underneath my bra.
XXXX
My Natsuki.
My Natsuki is beautiful. My most precious treasure.
My heart.
I woke up and the first thing I saw was my treasure. I smiled as she was in a deep slumber. A little drool was collecting on her cheek. Cute.
I remembered it was Sunday, so there was no need to get up so early. I got comfortable as I laid my head into the pillow near Natsuki. She somewhat stirred in her sleep as I placed a small kiss on her forehead.
"I love you." I whispered.
"Mmm...I love you too."
I was surprised to find her waking up. She opened one eye and looked up at me. I smiled at her and she smiled at me.
"Good morning."
"Morning...is it Sunday?"
"Of course."
"I'm going back to sleep." Natsuki closed her one eye.
I chuckled as I sat up.
"Where you going?" Natsuki asked without opening her eyes.
"To make breakfast." I walked towards the kitchen.
I arrived at the kitchen and stretched my arms out. As I opened the refrigerator, I heard Natsuki get out of the bed and walk to the bathroom. I saw her undressing, getting in the shower, that warm water falling all over her body, those suds covering areas of her naked body seductively, and her cute blush spreading across her face. Ara...
I smiled at the dirty thought in my head. Unable to contain myself, I walked back to our room. I heard some noise in the bathroom, so it seems my mind was in the right frame. I opened the door and was about to pounce on my beloved when I saw her holding a pregnancy test stick. I saw her turn a little pale and I began to worry.
"Natsuki?"
She sat down on the toilet and looked speechless. I rushed over to her.
"Natsuki, what's wrong?" I knelt down to her.
She didn't respond, this worried me. I looked at the pregnancy test stick that was in her hands. I gasped when I saw the big letters.
"Natsuki..."
She seemed to snap out of her state of shock and she smiled at me with the same smile I saw when I said yes to her proposal.
"...We're gonna have a baby."
My heart jumped for joy at hearing those words.
"Natsuki!" I wrapped my arms around her.
"I love you!" Natsuki embraced me.
"I love you too. Thank you so much Natsuki!" I felt myself crying tears of joy.
That morning we gave ourselves to each other again.
It was pure bliss.
XXXX
"Shizuru."
"Yes Natsuki?"
"I'm hungry."
"I'll get you something to eat. Jut hold on a moment."
I heard an exasperated sigh from the living room. I continued to make Natsuki's favorite craving food, yakitori. Not that its a bad craving food, but my Natsuki won't eat it without it dunked in mayo. As much as I don't want to dunk it in mayo, I have to for Natsuki's sake. Otherwise she'll get mad at me.
I brought the meal over Natsuki who was sitting on the couch rubbing her slightly large stomach. She smiled when she saw the yakitori.
"Thank you love." She took the yakitori without hesitation.
I smiled as I sat besides her. I put my hand on her stomach and began to slowly rub. These last four months have been interesting. Natsuki is so emotional, she cries hard, sometimes she smiles for about a week and other times she gets really mad at me. Though she does apologize like a madwoman afterwords. Despite how difficult it has been for the both of us, I wouldn't change anything if I had to start over.
"Our baby girl..." I smiled when I felt a little kick.
Natsuki smiled and placed her free hand on mine.
"You know we really haven't picked out a name for our baby." Natsuki said.
"That's right, we didn't really agree on which name to choose." I smiled.
"Why?"
"You got mad at me and locked yourself in our room."
Flashback
"But I like that the name Shizuka!" Natsuki responded.
"But I also like the name Suri." Shizuru responded.
"Yeah you also like Mizore and Aine! How many other names do you have to like before we can name our baby?"
"Natsuki please calm down."
"You know what, I don't care anymore! You just sit there and think of a name, I'm going to my room." Natsuki walked out of the living room.
Shizuru sighed when she heard their bedroom door lock. She looked at the pillow and blanket on the sofa.
"Ara, looks like I'm sleeping on the couch again."
"Oh yeah, sorry." Natsuki sighed.
"It's okay, now what name do you like best?"
"Well we have Suri, Shizuka, Mizore and Aine." Natsuki numbered on her hand.
I sighed to myself. They were all good names, picking one would be really difficult.
"Well whatever name we give her, we'll love her no matter what." I smiled as I took her hand in my own.
"Shizuru..." I saw tears swell up in her eyes.
XXXX
I walked into our home from work. Natsuki is now 8 months pregnant, it should be anytime now. She had taken maternity leave from her job, and as much as I wanted to stay with Natsuki at home I remembered someone had to pay the bills. As soon as I put my jacket on the rack, I heard crying from the living room. I rushed over and saw Natsuki curled up on the couch.
"Natsuki, what's wrong?" I put my arms around her.
She sniffed as she tried to wipe away the tears.
"We're out of mayo."
I just stared at her. As much as I wanted to laugh at that moment, I knew better than to make my emotional Natsuki mad. So I just smiled and continued to hold her.
"Don't worry, I'll buy some more later."
She laid back into me, most of the tears gone.
"Shizuru...I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"Of the baby."
She turned her body so she could look up at me but still lay down on me.
"The baby?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I...I don't know if I can handle a baby."
Hmm...
"Its not that I don't want a baby, but...but what if...if she doesn't like me?"
"She will. She'll love you too." I smiled.
"What if I screw up? She could be picked on or someone could hurt her. What if we hurt her?What if...what if she says she hates me?"
I saw the tears swell up in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around me.
"I'm so scared."
I lifted up her head by tilting her chin up.
"Natsuki, your right. This baby will be human. She'll learn, love, hate and be hurt by other people."
She began to cry more.
"But I know we'll be there for her every step of the way. It'll be hard, but we'll have each other to rely on and our little girl to love together."
Her face brightened up a little.
"Besides, there's no way our baby could hate you. She's a part of me as well as you."
She smiled and laid her head on my chest.
"You know, I'm really jealous of you." I said.
"Jealous? Of me," Natsuki looked up at me with a raised eyebrow, "Why the hell would you be jealous of me?"
"Because you get to feel and carry our child."
Her eyes reflected a shadow of sorrow. She closed her eyes as if she was in pain and moaned a little.
"What's wrong?"
"Our baby is acting up a little." Natsuki smiled as she took my hand and placed it on her large stomach.
I felt her stomach move, I think I was blushing. I felt Natsuki nuzzle her head near my cheek.
"Every time I think about you, our baby jumps like crazy." Natsuki smiled.
I smiled back as I felt the baby jump quickly.
XXXX
"Yeah, its Sunday!" Natsuki cheered.
I chuckled as I laid besides her. She was excited for me to finally be home again all day long. We were still in bed, usually I just loved this alone. I placed a small kiss on her lips as soon as she settled down.
"Good morning."
"Good morning...I'm hungry." Natsuki sighed.
I chuckled as I placed another kiss on her lips.
"Okay, I'll go get it ready."
"Wait...I got to pee." Natsuki slowly got off our bed.
I chuckled again as I watched her go to the bathroom. I stretched out my arms and legs before getting off the bed. Before I could leave our room, Natsuki bust open the bathroom door.
"My water broke."
"What?"
"My water broke!"
"Um, okay w-w-w-we better go!"
The time has come, what do I do?
Yakitori- Means grilled fowl, basically grilled chicken on a bamboo stick
