Chapter 5: Nausea
Ryoma had left early that morning to go to the fundraising competition in Hokkaido and wouldn't back for a few days. All morning when Sakuno had woken up she had felt sick and the need to vomit. Sakuno took deep breaths with her head in the toilet ready to vomit at any moment. Something must have gotten in her system when she had gone out with Ryoma to eat one of these days. Sakuno groaned and gagged and kept her head near the toilet. She vomited and seeing her own vomit made her nauseous. Once she had raised her head she felt a bit light headed but better. She touched her forehead for a fever but there was no sign. She looked around her body for any mysterious marks besides the love marks Ryoma had left on her. None where visible and Sakuno just shrugged it off.
Sakuno's phone vibrated and she hurried to pick it up. "Hello?" She answered.
"Hey Sakuno! Are you free?" Tomo said excitedly on the other line.
Sakuno smiled hearing her best friend on the other line. "Yeah, I got the day off today, why?"
Sakuno could already picture Tomo smiling. "Horio and I want to treat you out to brunch!"
You look at the clock and smile. "Sure!"
Tomo clapped happily on the other line. "I'll be there to pick you up in twenty minutes." Tomo said.
"Alright! Bye, bye!" Sakuno said.
"Later!" Tomo said and hung up.
Sakuno jumped in the shower to wash off the smell of vomit and tooth brushed. She quickly changed to a pair of blue jeans and a loose cream tank top with frills. She strapped on her cream wooden heels and dried her hair. There was a ring at the door and Sakuno hurried. Tomo smiled at her best friend. "Ready?" She asked.
Sakuno smiled and nodded her head. Tomo and Sakuno walked to the car where Horio was waiting in the driver's seat. "Has he popped the question to you yet?" Sakuno asked nudging her best friend.
Tomo's face brightened. Sakuno laughed and opened the back seat door. "Good morning Horio-Kun."
"Good morning." Horio said.
Tomo sat in the front with Horio. The car started and Sakuno suddenly felt nauseous. Tomo turned around to see Sakuno's face whiten. "Are you okay Sakuno?" She asked worried.
Sakuno smiled and nodded her head. "Just a bit dizzy, that's all."
"Drive slower Horio!" Tomo demanded to her boyfriend of four years.
"I've had more then two years of tennis, I think I'd know what's-"
"Shut it and driver slower, your driving is making Sakuno sick!" Tomo shouted.
Horio grumbled and obeyed his girlfriend. Horio pulled into a parking spot and the all came out of the car. Sakuno felt better when she got out of the car. "Are you sure you're alright?" Tomo asked looking at her friend concerned.
Sakuno nodded her head. "Don't worry, I'm feeling fine."
They headed into the family restaurant and sat down. The restaurant wasn't very busy and everything was so calm. Sakuno looked at her menu wondering what she should get. She looked over her menu to see the couple bickering like they did when they were younger. Sakuno couldn't help but laugh. A waitress came over with a big smile on her face. "Welcome! What can I get you three to drink?" She asked taking out her pen and notepad.
"Sprite." Sakuno said.
"Lemonade." Tomo says.
"Coke." Horio said next.
The girl scribbled it down and headed to the kitchen to get them. Sakuno looked through the pages of her menu and looked up feeling Tomo's curious eyes on her. "Is there something on my face?" Sakuno said self-consciously touching it.
Tomo shook her head. "How's being married?"
Sakuno's face brightened and she nodded her head. "It's fun." She said.
Tomo smiled. "Are you two working on a baby?"
Sakuno's face brightened to crimson. "Tomo!" Sakuno said embarrassed.
Horio chuckled. "How's Echizen doing these days?" He asked.
Sakuno smiles, "He's at a fundraiser in Hokkaido for a few days."
Tomo nodded her head. "That's awesome!"
Sakuno smiled and nodded proud of her husband as well. "What about you two?" Sakuno asked.
"What about us?" They asked in unison.
"Are you guys planning to move in with each other?" Sakuno asked, "You two have been talking about it for a while."
Tomo and Horio's face brightened embarrassed. "Um…" They both said.
Before they could say anymore the waitress came back with their drinks. "Are you guys ready to order?" She asked.
Sakuno nodded, "I'll have your salad."
"Make that two." Tomo said sticking up two fingers.
"Spicy noodles." Horio said.
The girl smiled and left to go to the kitchen. The three of them talked until the food came making their stomachs growl. "I'm starved!" Horio said breaking his chopsticks.
Tomo nods her head in agreement and gets her fork ready to stab the salad. Sakuno placed her napkin on her lap and stabbed at the lettuce as well. But once she put a piece in her mouth she gagged. She dropped her fork holding her hand over her mouth and hurried to the bathroom. Tomo got up just as fast and hurried after Sakuno leaving Horio confused. Sakuno went into one of the stalls and vomited. She gasped for air. She left her head between the toilet bowl fearing she would vomit again. "Sakuno?" Tomo called opening the door to the bathroom.
Sakuno groaned and staggered to her feet wiping the excess vomit off of her mouth. "I don't know what's wrong with me." Sakuno groaned heading to the sink.
She turned on the facet and rinsed her mouth. Tomo gasped and clapped her hands excited. Sakuno turned around confused to see Tomo happy. "Why are you clapping?" Sakuno asked before rinsing her mouth again.
"You're pregnant!" Tomo said excitedly.
Sakuno spat out the water on the mirror and looked at Tomo with her eye widened in surprise. "You're having the same symptoms my mom had when she was pregnant with my siblings!" Tomo said, "You're pregnant! How long have you been pregnant?"
Sakuno was shocked. Why didn't she think of that herself? She face palmed herself feeling dumb. "I didn't even think of that." Sakuno said.
Tomo jumped up and down. "Let's go to the doctor to see if you're pregnant!" Tomo said pulled Sakuno with her.
Sakuno just followed reluctantly still shocked about her being pregnant. "Get up Horio! We're going to the hospital!" Tomo said grabbing her and Sakuno's things.
"Eh?" Horio said shocked, "But I didn't even get to eat!"
"Get up now!" Tomo growled.
Horio shot up from his seat and hurried to the car. "Thank you, come again!" One of the waitresses said seeing them leave.
Tomo nodded her head and helped Sakuno into the car. Horio started the car and headed to the hospital. "I'm so excited!" Tomo said practically jumping in her seat, "You're going to have a baby!"
Horio looked up at the review mirror shocked. "You're pregnant Ryuzak- um…I mean Sakuno?"
Sakuno blinked a few times still over whelmed and smiled. "I hope so." She said touching her stomach wondering if she could feel the baby in her stomach.
They hurried into the hospital and got a room ASAP! Horio waited in the waiting room while both Sakuno and Tomo went into the check up room. The door opened and a girl with chestnut brown hair that reached up to her chin came in. "I knew it was you Sakuno-Chan!" She said energetically.
Sakuno and Tomo both looked up and smiled. "An-Chan!" They said happily.
Sakuno was confused since she too worked here. "When did you get transferred?" Sakuno asked.
An smiled. "A few days ago, I can't believe I get to work with you now!"
Sakuno smiled and nodded her head. "How are you and Momo-Sempai?" Sakuno asked.
An blushed and fidgeted. "Good." She said.
Sakuno smiled. "That's great to hear."
An cleared her throat and looked at the click board the nurse handed her. "What made you come here today?" An asked.
"Sakuno might be pregnant!" Tomo blurted happily.
An looked up happily. "Really?" An said excitement filling her up.
Sakuno nodded her head. "I don't want be excited and have it just be some virus instead though." Sakuno joked.
An nodded her head. "Well, I'm going to need a urine sample then." An said handing Sakuno a cup.
Back in the Waiting Room
Horio scrolled through his contacts to Ryoma and started typing to him
Horio: Hey!
A few minutes later a text comes in and Horio smirked at the phone.
Ryoma: What do you want?
Horio: Your wife is at the hospital
A few seconds passed and then Horio's phone started to ring. Horio picked it up. "Say that again." Ryoma said almost in a threatening manner.
"Your wife is in the hospital?" Horio said a bit scared by Ryoma's anger.
Ryoma took in a deep breath. "I'll be there now."
"Eh but aren't you-"
Before Horio could finish what he was saying, Ryoma had hung up. Horio sighed and shrugged. Ryoma hasn't changed.
Back in the Patient's Room
An looked at results and smiled. "Congratulation Sakuno-Chan, you're going to have a baby!" An said happily.
Sakuno and Tomo looked at each other and smiled jumping up and down. "And guess what else?" An said.
Sakuno and Tomo stopped and looked at An. "I'm the new pediatric doctor!"
Sakuno gasped. "That means-"
An nodded her head. "I'm going to be there the whole way!"
Sakuno, Tomo, and An held hands and laughed together happy for Sakuno's pregnancy. "Sir, you can't go in there!" A nurse yelled from outside.
The three women turn to the door to hear running footsteps coming to them. The door slammed open and a panting Ryoma was looking frantically. "Where's my wife?" Ryoma said looking around only seeing Tomo and An.
Sakuno got up looking worried at Ryoma. "Did something happen Ryoma?" Sakuno asked.
Ryoma looked her up and down seeing no marks on her looked at her questionably. "Why are you in the hospital?" Ryoma asked, "I thought today was your day off?"
Sakuno smiled. "I have good news." Sakuno said.
One of Ryoma's brows went up. The nurses crowded at the door seeing the famous tennis player. "I'm pregnant." Sakuno said.
Ryoma's eyes widened and he smiled. He turned to An. "Is she really?" Ryoma asked.
An showed him the results and Ryoma's widened even more. He hugged his wife and kissed her on the lips. "I'm so happy." He said.
Sakuno held him close and smiled. "Yeah."
An looked at the results again. "You're already 4 weeks pregnant." An said.
Sakuno's eyes widened. "No way." She said shocked.
So much had happened that she had forgotten about her period. An nodded her head. "28 more weeks to go." An said.
Sakuno smiled and looked at Ryoma who was already rubbing her stomach. Horio came running in and saw the commotion. "Oh you're already here Echizen." Horio said.
Ryoma frowned and punched his shoulder. "Ow!" Horio screamed out rubbing his now sore arm, "What was that for?"
"For almost giving me a heart attack." Ryoma said.
Sakuno laughed. She couldn't wait until their baby was born.
