Here we go peoples, the Christmas chapter, read, review, tell me what you think.
Five weeks passed with very little incident, except for the fact that Murasaki's stomach was already growing. It wasn't big by any means, and it was possible to pass it off as eating too much, but it was there. When they asked the doctor about it, she -they'd gotten a better one- did an ultra-sound, which lead to the discovery of the triplets. That's right, Murasaki was pregnant with triplets.
Currently, everyone -Mao, Ashiya, Emi, Lucifer, Murasaki, Midori, Shiroi, Kuroi, Rana, Komu, and Midori's younger brother Luka- was gathered around a Christmas tree, obviously celebrating Christmas together.
The news of Murasaki's pregnancy had reached Murasaki's other relatives, and they'd all sent her a motherload of gifts for the pregnancy, deciding to wait until they knew about the genders before sending baby gifts. To say Murasaki had the most presents was an understatement.
Murasaki got pregnancy books, back pillows, maternity clothes, and a lot of gadgets to use during the pregnancy, like a little heart monitor thing that she could use to hear the babies' heart beats a any time.
One thing in particular that Murasaki found herself loving was a book full of old wives tales that were used to "tell" the baby's gender. Murasaki knew none of those things really worked, but they would be fun to try out, and she got to work on the first one right away.
Murasaki, Lucifer and Shiroi had stayed in the lounge room, and everyone else had gone to do their own thing, which Murasaki was a little upset about, since she wanted everyone to watch her try out the wives tales, but she shrugged it off and flipped through the book.
""If you're really moody, it's a girl"" Murasaki read out.
"Looks like you're having a girl, Urushihara" Shiroi said to Lucifer.
"Hey!" Murasaki protested.
"Looks like it" Lucifer agreed.
Frustrated, Murasaki went to the next one, ""If you're really clumsy, it's a boy, if you're more on the graceful side, it's a girl"".
"Girl" Lucifer said.
At the same time, Shiroi responded with, "boy".
"Oh, thanks sis" Murasaki glared sarcastically, ""If you prefer sleeping on your right side, it's a girl, if you prefer the left side, it's a boy"".
"Girl" Shiroi replied, "I always find you asleep on your right side".
"I think boy, I can never sleep until I'm on my left side" Murasaki explained, "one more, "If you have dreams of having a boy, you're having a girl. If you're dreaming about a girl, it'll be a boy"".
"Huh, weird" Lucifer blinked.
"The strange thing is, I've only been having dreams about two of them, both boys...so two girls...but I haven't dreamt of the third one at all" After saying this, Murasaki began to worry, "what if something happens! Does he or she get hurt? Would I give him or her away for adoption? What if he or she was kidnapped!"
"Calm down!" Lucifer soothed, "it's just an old wives tale! No science to it, we haven't known about all three of them for long, maybe you're just adjusting".
Murasaki nodded and sat down.
When her breathing had evened out again, Murasaki laughed out, "I think we've had enough for now".
Shiroi laughed and nodded in agreement.
Soon enough, Ashiya was done cooking dinner, he'd volunteered to cook since he'd heard many greusome stories about the older Yuki's cooking, and thought it'd be best for Murasaki if she had a proper meal for once.
What shocked the large group was the look on Murasaki's face when she saw the classic American Christmas dinner roast turkey, she could have flooded the dinning room with her drool if she kept her mouth open.
Seeing this, everyone stood back and let Murasaki cut up the turkey, taking the best tasting parts and putting them on her plate in the process.
What Murasaki did next was surprising to say in the least, Murasaki sat down, stared at her food for half a second before getting up and going into the kitchen, coming out less then a minute later with honey and some chocolate. Everyone stared as Murasaki poured the honey all over her turkey and put the chocolate on top of her...creation, Luka even came close to throwing up when Murasaki began to eat her food without a problem.
"...What'ssup?" Murasaki asked the pale group with her mouth full.
"Nothing!" They yelped hurriedly, quickly sitting down and getting their own food, which even looked better then Murasaki's meal.
The night passed quickly, and Mao, Ashiya and Emi had already returned to their homes, but Lucifer had been asked by Murasaki to stay the night. No one really had a probelm with it except for Komu, since Murasaki was already pregnant, and the only thing disallowing it would do is make Murasaki mad at them.
"So...why'd you want me to stay?" Lucifer asked.
"I wanna try some more of the wives tales" Murasaki grinned.
"Are you sure?" Lucifer asked.
"Yeah" Murasaki nodded.
"Alright...but don't let it get to you, okay?" Lucifer said, slightly cautious, just like the others, who all believed that saying the smallest thing wrong would set her off.
"Okay" Murasaki smiled.
"So which one?" Lucifer wondered, picking up the book.
"Give it here" Murasaki instructed, holding out her hand for the book.
Lucifer gave her the book without complaint and she began to flip through the pages.
"How about this one?" Murasaki asked, ""Have someone hold a necklace over your hand. If it swings back and forth, it's a boy. If it moves in a circle, it's a girl"".
"Sounds good" Lucifer nodded.
Murasaki grinned and went to her bedside table to get a necklace.
"Let's try it three times" Murasaki suggested, Lucifer nodded in agreement.
Test one. Boy.
Test two. Girl.
Test three. Girl.
"Two girls and a boy" Murasaki smiled happily.
"Lets do some more" Lucifer grinned.
For the rest of the night, Lucifer and Murasaki flipped through the book and tested a lot of wives tales, almost all the results were the same as the necklace test.
"Definantly two girls and a boy" Lucifer nodded, Murasaki grinned.
