Chapter 18: Baby in Okaa-San's Stomach

"The baby is starting to kick!" Tomo squealed with her hand pressed lightly on her best friend's stomach.

Sakuno laughed. Tomo pouted. "I wish I had a baby in my stomach." Tomo said.

Sakuno patted her friend. "Why not ask Horio-Kun?"

Tomo blushed. "Mou! Sakuno-Chan that's not funny!"
Sakuno giggled and saw her son peering at them from the doorway. "Ryosuke, come over here." She beckoned her son.

Ryosuke took cautious steps to his mother and godmother. "Would you like to feel your little brother or sister?" Sakuno asked.

Ryosuke nodded his head. Sakuno guided Ryosuke's hand onto her stomach where Tomo's was. A few moments passed and Ryosuke jumped feeling the kick. "What was that?" Ryosuke asked startled.

Sakuno touched her stomach. "Your little brother or sister is saying hello."
"Hello." Ryosuke said to his mother's stomach.

Sakuno and Tomo aw-ed at Ryosuke. Ryosuke kept his hand on his mother's stomach the whole day feeling his sibling kick and move around in his mother's stomach. "Ne, Okaa-San." Ryosuke called after dinner.

"What is it?" Sakuno asked stroking his hair.
"Did you eat my little brother or sister?" Ryosuke asked curiously.

Sakuno patted her son's head. "No, mommy didn't." She chuckled, "Before you were born you were in mommy's stomach like this too."
"Did I do what they're doing to you too?"
"You sure did."

Ryoma came to the living room where his family was seated. "Ryosuke, what would you like better a brother or a sister?" He asked his son.

Ryosuke smiled, "Sister!" He answered right away.

Ryoma and Sakuno looked at Ryosuke puzzled. "Why's that?" Sakuno asked.

"Because I want to have a cute adorable little sister and I want to protect her!"
Sakuno smiled and hugged her son, "You're going to be the best Onii-Chan."
Ryosuke nodded his head happily.

A Few Months Later

"Oto-San where are you going?" Ryosuke asked being woken up by the noise his papa was making.

"Did I wake you?" Ryoma asked scooping his son up into his arms.

"Mmmm…where are you going?"
"Mommy wants something, so Oto-San is going to go get it for her."
"Mmm…"
"Maybe you should and keep mommy while I'm gone." Ryoma said.

Ryosuke nodded his head. Ryoma put his son down and watched him head to the master bedroom. Ryoma smiled and headed out to get pickles and vanilla ice cream.

Ryosuke rubbed his eyes and climbed into the king sized be where his mommy was laying. "Okaa-San are you okay?" Ryosuke asked snuggling into her side.

Sakuno smiled and combed through his messy hair. "Okaa-San is fine, just a little hungry."

Ryosuke sat up. "Hungry?"
Sakuno nodded her head. "Uh huh."
Ryosuke got off of the bed and headed to the kitchen. Though Ryoma was only now in kindergarten, he was very intelligent for his age. Ryosuke used all the strength he could muster to push the chair from the dinning room to the kitchen to stand upon it. He grabbed two slices of bread and the peanut butter and jelly in the cabinet. He grunted to open the jar and after a few hefty twists it let out a satisfying pop! Ryosuke grabbed the plastic knife from the drawer and smeared it all over the bread and then slapped the other on top. He smiled and hurried over to his mother with the sandwich in hand. "Okaa-San here!" Ryosuke said placing the sandwich in his mother's hand.

Sakuno smiled and kissed her son. "Did you make this for Okaa-San?"

Ryosuke let out a yawn. "Cause Okaa-San said she was hungry."
Sakuno smiled and took a bite out of the sandwich. "It's delicious! It's the best peanut butter jelly sandwich I've ever had!" Sakuno said ruffling her son's hair.
"Really?" He said in a drowsy manner.

"Uh huh. Okaa-San is so happy!"
Sakuno looked down to find her son already fast asleep.

Sakuno smiled and patted his hair softly not to disturb him. She felt the baby kick and rubbed her stomach. "You're going to have the best big brother." She whispered.

Half an Hour Later

Ryoma came in quietly and headed upstairs with the ice cream and pickles. He stopped short and chuckled. He set the stuff down on the nightstand and tucked his son and wife in. He kissed both their heads. "Sweet dreams." He whispered.
