I was so eager to write the next chapter as soon as possible. The plot was in my mind but I had a very hard time how to put this in words. So sorry, if this chapter will not turn out that good.

**Back to the story**
Usui rubbed her back to calm her quivering heart beats. "Misaki, tell me." He whispered in her ear.
Misaki, like a reflex action fisted his shirt and snuggled closer to his chest. "I don't want anything happen to our baby."She said greeting her teeth.
Usui looked nothing at particular. "Yes! We don't want to. What's make you think that?" He asked gently still holding her in his arms.
"He…that bastard will,-"She backed away to tell him the truth.
Usui jerked his head towards her. "Who dared to do anything? Who?" He tried to scream but knowing Misaki's condition, he kept his cool self at least for her sake.
"H…Hiro Soutaru. He threatened to h…hurt the baby." A single tear fell from her eye.
"HE HAD THE GUTS TO TELL THIS?" He stood up. Without even care to his beloved wife, he ran out from their room settling one thing in his mind. "Tonight he's going to face the hell."
"Usui no…wait!" She tried to stop him but it was too late.
"Oh…look who's here?" Hiro said with his hand in his pocket.
Usui, who was tired of that smug smile, with a swift movement, his right hand straight went to his neck gripping his pulse point. "You don't know who you're dealing with. I WILL KILL YOU."
"NO…"Misaki's voice filled the dark familiar room.
"Misa, are you okay? Look at me sweet heart." Usui cleaned her sweaty forehead with a wet cloth.
"T…Takumi, you're here?" She asked eyes wide.
"Yes, I'm right here." Don't worry." He kissed her hand and picked up his phone.
She never felt that relief in her life after having a bad dream. "W…What happened to me?" She asked placing a hand in her stomach.
"You fell asleep while I came back." He held the phone near his ear. "Hello! Yes doctor, she's awake now. Thank you." He cut off the line.
"What's that for?" She asked.
"Well, if I'm not that stupid, that I can at least tell you're not feeling well." He sat beside her and checked her forehead.
Misaki doesn't have any words to tell him. He's right, after what happened last night; it's natural to be worried. So she didn't argue this time.
"Wait here and stay on the bed. I'm coming." He stood up when a hand stopped him.
"Are you angry?" She asked regrettably.
Usui looked at her pale face. Now isn't the time. It's a hard time for her to act or react. "Look Misa, I'm not angry baby. Just relax. You can tell me anything you want anytime." He replied placing a hand above her hand. "Let me bring some food for you. You've not eaten last night." He left with a smile.
Misaki looked at the door where Usui's figure disappeared. She knew very well that he was upset. How couldn't he be when his pregnant wife suddenly hugged him with fear? But she can't bring unnecessary trouble for him. If he would do anything reckless, then it'll too late to be regret.
"Here comes chicken soup." Usui's voice brought her back to the delicious looking hot steamed soup. "Good for your health." He placed the bowl in front of her with a fear that she might vomit again with the smell. But good thing is that Misaki haven't had her dinner last night, she's feeling hungrier then ever. Her hunger is now dominating over her morning sickness.
She scooted over to the bed and took the spoon while Usui snatched it from her. She looked at him with an arched brow.
"Here, say aah…!" He brought the spoonful of soup to her mouth.
"Did you have to snatch it?" She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth.
"Hmm…I see; no protest?" He smirked. "Are you that eager to eat from my hand?"
"Why you…? Give it back to me." She tried to snatch back the spoon.
Usui chuckled and opened her mouth with his left hand and shoved the soup with his right hand. She obeyed and gulped down the hot liquid. It was too delicious to waste any time with fight. She didn't want to ruin the heavenly taste.
While eating she looked in to his caring eyes. So much pure bliss filled his eyes. Could she ever hurt those innocent caring and overprotective person? "So sorry for making you worry Takumi." She said feeling ashamed of her behavior.
Usui could feel her regretting tone. "Never mind, just eat. He finished his job and handed her a glass of water. He kissed her belly. "Now you're full my princess."
Misaki's eyes filled with tears. She never saw Usui's this site. Such a caring father would never let anything happen to his child. She cupped Usui's face.
Usui looked at her teary eyes and was about to ask when a pair of lips blocked his words. Misaki kissed him with all her heart. Her hands curled behind his head feeling his spiky soft hairs. Usui pulled her closer and deepen the kiss. He managed to control to ask her the question in his mind.
The kissing session didn't last long; Misaki was the first one to break their lip lock.
"T…Takumi, last night," She started but stopped didn't find the proper word to start.
"He squeezed her hand. "Yes Misa, last night?" He coped.
"The mis…miscarriage part what Dr. Natsumi said earlier," She gulped. "I was worried Takumi." She said the fear she was dealing in her mind.
"You fool, nothings like that going to happen. You're very strong." He touched her forehead with his. "We'll never let anything happen to our precious." He said reassuringly said. Misaki nodded and hugged him.
After looking at his smiley face, she came back to her cheerful mood. She missed their fight. It's being months since they fight over something. Then she was on with full 'pick-a-fight' mode. "So the food was for the baby and not for me?" She crossed her arms in front of her and averted her eyes.
"What? It's the same thing." He tried to clear her.
"How's it? You love me for the baby. You're caring me for the baby. You're feeding me only for the baby." She pouted.
"Where did that come from?" He tried to convince her. He didn't have any idea why her mood changed all of a sudden. He thought that as one of a pregnancy symptom. "You know very well I care about both of you."
"Only because I'm carrying your child." She smirked mentally and glared at him.
He was taken aback. His alien abilities alarmed his senses. She is trying to putting a fight. His evil smirk came back. "Well Usui Misaki, let's think that you're not pregnant." He hovered over her. Her back touched the soft floppy bed. "You wanna test how much I love you?" His fingers found its way to her tank top and fumbled on the neck line. She registered the urge to push him away but her pride never allowed doing that.
He popped down the bed and flipped her over gently. Her eyes showed not a single fear or rejection; though she was mentally dealing with the hard challenge she created.
His hands were halfway to pull the tank top she was wearing when the bell rang. They both startled at the same time. Misaki's face lightened up while Usui's regretting face was hard to cover. He stood up abruptly. "It must be Dr. Natsumi."
"WHAT!?" Misaki soon fixed her appearance.
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
"Hmm… the baby is doing fine."Dr. Natsumi checked the thermometer. "The fever isn't very serious." It was just the pressure of pregnancy." The doctor told Usui.
"Takumi give me a minute." Misaki told to her husband.
Usui understood what she meant. "Sure! Take your time." He leaved both of them.
"Dr. may I ask you something?" Misaki asked sitting in her bed.
"Yes dear?"
"What are the consequences of miscarriage?"
"Oh…you are worried over that matter? Don't worry-"
"No doctor, I want to know."She was too desperate to know.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. It occurs 10% out of 100%. The causes are due to problems with your immune system, having an infection, overage, physical problem, health problem, taking alcohol at the time of pregnancy or any external injury like hitting your belly or something." Natsumi cleared her.
Misaki cringed at the word hitting. "H…Hitting?"
"Yes. But you know the fetus is not that exposed to external injury. It securely covered with amniotic-fluid which protects it from any injury due to buoyancy force. You don't have to worry dear, you and your child is healthy and strong." She reassured her.
"Thank you doctor that's all I want to know." Misaki smiled.
"Ok, I have to go now. Tell me if you're not feeling okay anytime." She stood up to leave while Misaki tried to escort but Dr. Natsumi stopped her. "And I don't want to hear the silly matter like this from you again. You got it?" Natsumi winked at her Misaki nodded smiling.
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
"What's so secret about that you can't tell me?" Usui pouted.
"Stop pouting you idiot! It's non-of-your business. It's a woman-to-woman talk." She replied.
He mocked her."Oh I forgot to tell you, Mrs. Ayuzawa called last night."
"Mom? What did she say?"
"Asking about the baby. She said she can't wait to see her granddaughter." Usui said proudly.
"Wait a minute why is everyone expecting a baby girl? What if it turned out to be a baby boy?" She asked while combing her morning messy hair.
Usui came from behind and hugged her. It's a habit for him to hug her from behind which is one of his favorite thing to do. "Then I'll be the one who'll be very happy." He replied kissing her cheek.
"How so?" She asked having no idea about her alien's changing mood.
"Well think about it Misa, I'll get the second chance for my baby girl." He whispered huskily.
Misaki's face got red hot that it can boil an ice cube. "You pervert! Not a chance." She smacked him in the head and went to bathroom.
"Okay then, third chance?" He asked from the bathroom door.
"TA-KU-MIII!" A demonic voice roared.
"Oh…not satisfied? Okay then 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th….choice is yours~" He purposely sang.
"OFF! NOW!" Usui could hear her crushing her hand.
He laughed eyes closed briefly. "I think enough teasing." He thought to himself. "May be not?" He turned and went to the bathroom door again. "10th and its final." Not to face her wrath, he ran away with a lightning speed. He could hear something was thrown to their room. "Whhooo…I'm alive!" He gripped the chair in the kitchen and started to do the breakfast.
After a brief 10 minutes-
"Usui Takumi, be prepare to face your death!" And that's when Misaki came with a black flower pot which was 100$. Mean while Misaki was enjoying that her wish got fulfilled while Usui for the first time tried to go way from her fierce wife.
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
At the beginning, Misaki's pregnancy was an easy task. Her cravings are neither too farfetched nor different to satisfy; except a night she woke up at 1A.M.
She slowly got off from their bed not to disturb the figure beside her and made her way to the window of their leaving room. The cool night breeze made her relax a bit. But her mouth wants to cool hundred times more than the breeze. The wish will be fulfill if she gets the chance to eat an ice cream. "It's dark outside. Can't you wait till its morning?" She caressed her slightly visible stomach.
Usui turned in his sleep and tried to cradle his wife in his arms but ended up hugging the soft pillow which was purposely placed beside him. His eyes fluttered open, after missing the familiar scent. It's getting a routine for him to wake up in the middle of the night just to check up his wife. When Misaki sleeps in an awkward position, it's his duty to settle her in a comfortable position. Otherwise the result will be rain of her demonic complain in the morning-'you're the one who never give me any room to sleep.' He chuckled at her unpredictable excuse.
"Misaki!" He called her name but receive no reply. He opened the bathroom door hoping to find her there as the bathroom turned in to a second home for her now.
With honest amazement, he noticed a figure outside the curtain of their room. He smiled and went to her and hugged her. "Can't sleep?" He asked nuzzling her neck.
"I don't want to eat ice cream!" She said defending like she made a crime.
Here goes the craving. Usui chuckled a bit. No words exchanged; he suddenly picked up his coat and made through their front door. "Which flavor?" He asked poking his head from the door.
"The baby wants butter scotch." She replied mentioning her baby and not her,
"Done!" Then he off for the ice cream.
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
"Are you serious Erika?" Misaki asked with a shock.
"Yes! You don't believe but they say husbands unbelievably take care of their wives freaking so much that they never do after the marriage." Erika said while other staffs with Misaki were listening her lecture like a child so eager to listen a fairy tale story from their grandmother.
"B…But Takumi cares wholeheartedly. He's been more overprotective now-a-days." Misaki said unmindfully playing with a napkin to avert her puzzled mind.
"That's the point my dear Misaki. It'll be over soon when you started to gain weight." Erika told her like it was the milky white truth. "When the wives lose their slim figure, husbands lose their interest in them and started to go places like disco, bar." She laughed evilly. "And you know Misaki, what's the most horrible truth?"
"W…What?" She asked like she was going to meet the hell.
"That after pregnancy, women lose their beauty. Hhhahaaa!" Erika finished her lecture with an evil laugh.
"Irk!" Misaki cringed at Erika's prediction. Everyone tried to comfort Misaki.
"There there you again, teasing my child!" Satsuki came holding a cup of coffee. Misaki looked up to her for any consolation.
Erika, Subaru and Honoka laughed with their hands in their stomach. "You…hahaha you're giving so many funny expressions Misaki; its worth to tease you every once a day." Erika said between her laughs.
"You were all teasing me?" Misaki amusedly asked. "That's not good." She said pouting.
"Oh…you're really acting like a child while you're expecting a child." Honoka said patting Misaki's head.
"So, it's a boy or a girl?" Satsuki asked.
"Takumi and me want it to be a surprise." Misaki replied smiling.
"You like a boy or a girl Misaki?" Subaru asked.
Misaki blushed thinking about the thing Usui said her. "Anything would be fine."
"Oh…Mrs. Usui, why are you blushing? Did Usui-kun say anything to you?" Nothings can be gone unnoticed by Erika.
"Hell No! He never said anything to me." Misaki said holding Satsuki's hand.
"Now now girls, don't interfere her personnel life. And besides, Erika, you're going to be marry; how are you feeling?" Satsuki smirked trying to change the topic for Misaki's comfort.
Erika stood still. Everyone turned to her direction hoping for her reply shyly. Misaki didn't lose the chance too. She was nearly stood up from her chair leaned to her side with sparkle in her eyes.
"Eh…hehe." Erika laughed nervously. Then it turned out differently. "I'm much happier than ever. He calls me 20 times a day or even more. We are so exited for our marriage especially me. I already decided to go Hawaii for our honeymoon. And we decided to stay there for….." She started babbling for the rest hour.
Satsuki closed her eyes and nodded in a negative way. "Hopeless!" She mentally thought while other continued to listen to her soon to be 'after-married-life.'
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
"Sir! The last deal is final. Another company cordially interested to invest their money with our company." Usui's secretary informed him.
"The name?"
"The Shirokawa Group of Kyoto."
"Never heard of that before." Usui said looking at his tablet screen.
"It's just six months old sir. They wanted to start their business with our company."
"I would like to meet the CEO."
"If it's fine with you sir, I'll send him here. He's waiting outside." His secretary stated.
"What?! Let him in." Usui said urgently.
"Sure sir!" Then he left.
"Nice to see you again Mr. Usui." The guy greeted him showing his shining teeth.
The moment Usui looked up from his sit; his eyes got its large size. "YOU?" His voice was cold as ice.
"It'll be my pleasure to work with you."
"Not in a million year." Usui replied as loudly as possible. "How did he manage to get out from the jail?" He thought.
"Don't worry about my bail." He sat on a comfy chair in front of him. "How is your wife doing and the baby?"
Usui looked at him with a mixer of anger, confuse and hatred look.
"Oh…don't tell me your so-called-wife didn't tell you about our meeting at her office?" Hiro said with dramatically worried expression.
"WHY YOU BASTARD…." It took no time to overcome his self control; he got off from his sit, applying much force to his fist which went straight to his right cheek.
Hiro smiled and rubbed the lonely strain of blood coming from his mouth with his thumb. "It's not been a year you are married, your wife started to hide things away from you, especially if it involves me. " He said without even winch from the pain. "How pathetic!" He laughed in Usui's face and went out from his cabin.
Usui's secretary returned to his cabin. "Sir," He handed him the file.
With no more patience, Usui took the paper weight from his table and aimed to the glass window behind him. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
**End of this chapter**
Haah…at last I'm able to finish this 3,530 chapter; how was it? Did you all like it? How'll Usui react to Misaki? Any guess? Will he be going to turn the bad Usui or stayed as the ever calm Usui? Which version of him you all like the most? I already thought about how to put it but I want to know your view.
'How about putting Usui a little OOC here? '*evil thinking*
"HOW SHOULD BE USUI REACT TO MISAKI THIS TIME?" Expecting honest replies, no cheating….
Forgive me for any grammatical errors.
Bye for now. Take care! Please review!
