Chapter 23

Syo had regained consciousness and Ai was staring at him. Syo, "I was just? What just happened?" Ai, "You fainted." Syo noticed his head was on Ai's lap, he quickly sat up, Syo, "I could have sworn you just said you were pregnant." Ai, "Because I am." Syo, "R-really?" Ai nodded her head. Syo, "So there is a little us in your tummy?" Ai, "Yes, Syo." Syo, "Wow." Ai, "Your not going to faint again are you?" Syo then had a dire look on his face. Ai, "What's the matter you don't want the baby?" Ai had a hurt look on her face. Syo quickly panicked, "No, of course Not, I want the baby, more than anything, I'm just thinking on how Reiji was going to kill me is all." Ai, "He won't hurt you, more likely he'll jump in joy." Syo nervously laughed. Ai, "Also, I'm probably going to be sick for a while since what I've been sick with all week with morning sickness." Syo, "That makes since." Ai, "I'll have to do some research and see what would be better for me to eat and what I should stay away from." Syo, "I'll help you. I'll also call and make your Dr. Appointments." Ai, "Okay. Ai yawned, Syo, "You should get some rest." Ai, "Okay, will you sleep next to me?" Syo, "Okay." After Syo and Ai climbed into bed going into a deep sleep Natsuki walked into the room and awed. He took a picture of them next to each other, He was okay with them sleeping in the same bed, he was thankful they never had sex with him in the room though. Natsuki then went to sleep as well.

The next morning:
Ai was throwing up in the morning as usual, Natsuki was worried but Syo said that it was okay. Once Ai's Nausea calmed down for the day, Syo gave Ai a change of clothes and she locked the bathroom door before changing then coming out 5 minutes later. Syo, "Want me to do you hair." Ai, "Yeah, I just don't have the strength to put it back. Syo kissed Ai's forehead before brushing her hair and tying it back in her normal hairstyle, but added a bobby pin to the other side to put her bangs back just to be safe. Syo whispered to Ai before she nodded her head. Syo, "Natsuki, can you gather everyone in the lounge, we need to explain to everyone why she's been so sick." Natsuki, "Okay!" He was out the room in a second, telling everyone to be in the lounge. Syo was about to carry Ai bridal style. Ai blushed and asked, "Can you carry my piggy back." Syo, "Of course." Syo let Ai climb onto his back, and she gently put her hands around his neck making sure not to strangle him, Syo put his hands around her legs to help give support to carry her. Syo then walked out of the room and to the lounge. Once they arrived in the lounge, everyone was already in there, including the president. Natsuki quickly gave Ai a seat to sit in and everyone was staring at Ai and Syo. Ai, "hey everyone." Ranmaru, "kiddo, why have you been sick?" Syo placed a hand on Ai's stomach where Ai placed her hand on top of his. Ai, "I have morning sickness." Nobody seemed to understand, and then the light bulbs smacked Reiji in the head. Reiji, "You knocked Ai up Syo!" Everyone was staring in shock. Ai, "Yes Reiji, I'm pregnant." Everyone, "W-what? When? How?" Ai looked at everyone, "Lets see, I'm pregnant, About 7 weeks ago, I guess the night of our engagement, and how" She looked at Syo and smiled, "We had sex." Reiji, "Syo how dare you lay your hands on her!" Ai, "Reiji, don't kill the father." Everyone, "That explains why you've been sick." Ai, "Yeah, I didn't even know myself until last night right before me and Syo went to sleep when the doctor called." Syo didn't want to tell them his reaction but Ai sure wanted to. Ai, "You have better reactions then Syo." Ranmaru and Ren, "What he do." Syo, "Ai, don't tell them." Ai, "He fainted." Ranmaru and Ren started laughing. Reiji, "You fainted Syo." Syo, "When you find out your becoming a father it gets you hard." Natsuki, "There's going to be a baby! Baby!" Natsuki was jumping up and down in joy. Everyone then smiled, "Awe!" Ai and Syo held hands as everyone was cheering for the pregnancy.

32 weeks into the pregnancy:

Ai and Syo had managed to keep the press from finding out Ai was pregnant. Ai was starting to show so she always wore Syo's shirt or his jacket when out in public since he was now taller then her. Syo and Ai had found out they were having a baby boy. Ai was finally over her morning sickness, but the cravings were happening, and Syo had to get up and random times during the night to go get Ai something. He was just glad he hadn't pissed her of. When Ren noticed she was showing he pissed Ai off and she kicked him in the balls in front of everyone. Ren had bent over in pain and every guy in the room was in pain from seeing that. They know Ai was hormonal and it wasn't her fault, but that had been harsh. It was now the middle of the night and Ai was laying next to Syo. Ai was wide-awake, she was having a craving again. She hated eating at random times but she always felt bad that she had to wake Syo up. Ai gently shook Syo's shoulder waking him up. Syo, "Having a craving moment again. Ai, "Y-yeah, I'm sorry." Syo, "No problem, what are you craving this time." Ai, "Chocolate covered Strawberries and Apples." Syo, "I'll go make you some." Ai, "Can I have both milk chocolate and white chocolate?" Syo, "Anything for you." Ai, "Oh, can I have a slice of Watermelon to."? Syo, "Yeah, good thing we got watermelon yesterday." Ai, "Thanks Syo." Syo got up and went to go make the chocolate covered goodies and to cut a slice of watermelon.

When Syo got to the kitchen he saw Reiji in there. Syo, "Why are you up in the middle of the night?" Reiji, "I should say the same to you." Syo, "Ai's having cravings, your turn." Reiji, "Woke up and couldn't sleep." Syo "Makes since." Syo went to the cabinets and pulled out the chocolate melts. Reiji, "Want some help?" Syo, "Sure." Reiji, "What does she want." Syo, "Milk & White chocolate Strawberries and Apples with a slice of watermelon." Reiji, "She mainly craves fruit with chocolate." Syo, "I'm just glad its not one of the crazy ones." Reiji, "true." The two of them melted the chocolate and covered strawberries and apples. Syo then sliced 4 triangle pieces of watermelon. Syo, "thanks for the help Reiji." Reiji, "No problem!" Syo grabbed water and the fruit and carried it to the room. When he got back in there he saw Ai with her side lamp on reading her pregnancy book. Syo, "here you go Ai." Ai, "thanks Syo."

40th week of pregnancy:

Ai was due any day now, she was feeling contractions but they were to far apart to be sign's of labor. She was also very moody, Ranmaru had asked her how she was feeling and she started crying. When Ren asked her if she wanted anything to eat she kicked him yelling that he was calling her fat. Ai was now shivering. Syo, "Ai I'll go grab you a blanket." Ai nodded she was freezing all of a sudden. An hour later Ai then started to have contractions closer and closer together, Ai then felt her water break. Then she had a very painful contraction, Ai was by herself in the room she screamed, "Syo!" Syo and Reiji ran into the room not even a second later. Ai, "T-The baby is coming!" Syo grabbed Ai and Reiji ran outside to the car. Syo had Ai bridal style as he ran to Reiji's car. Ai, "Ah!" Ai had another contraction. As Syo ran pasted his band mates they stared at him and saw Ai crying. Tokiya, "Syo what's wrong with Ai?" Syo, "B-baby's coming" Syo then left Tokiya behind as he ran out the door to Reiji's car. Tokiya went back to the others and told them the baby was coming.

At the hospital:

Ai was in intense pain; it felts like she was having intense menstrual cramps combined with internal twisting pulled, and squeezing. She was also had an intense pain in her lower back. She also felt as though her hips were being pulled apart. The nurses immediately took her back along with Syo following. Reiji called Ranmaru and told him to come to the hospital. Reiji, "Ran-Ran." Ranmaru, "Yes Reiji, you know I'm busy." Reiji, "Ai-Ai went into labor." Ranmaru, "I'll be at the hospital in 10 minutes." Reiji smiled, Ranmaru had been busy until he mentioned Ai was going into labor.

In the Hospital Room:

Ai didn't want to have an epidural delivery she wanted to stay drug free. Ai was holding Syo's hand, but to Syo, she was nearly crushing it. But he wouldn't say anything; he knew she was in more pain. The doctor, "your 5 centimeters dilated and 90 percent effaced, it's almost time." Ai screamed as another contraction hit.

It was finally time for Ai felt excruciating pain in bother her back and pelvis. It also felt like she had a bowel movement in the worst way and something was about to burst through her back. The doctor, "Okay Miss Mikaze, push." Ai screamed and pushed squeezing Syo's hand the whole time.

2 hours later the baby was finally delivered and Ai was exhausted, but when she heard her baby boy screaming, it made it all worthwhile. Syo had cut the umbilical cord. The doctors were cleaning the blood of the baby put a dipper on him and put him in a blanket handing him to Ai. The Nurse, "Here you go! One beautiful baby boy!" The baby had been crying the whole time but the moment he was in Ai's hands he had stopped crying and stared up at his parents. Syo, "He has your eyes." Ai, "And your hair." The nurse, "What is the name on the birth certificate." Syo, "His name is Aoi Yo Kurusu." (Yo – honest or truthful) The nurse wrote the name down and went to make the birth certificate.

The doctor went out into the waiting room and saw the rest of Quartet-Night and STARISH there where everyone was staring at them. The doctor, "Mikaze Ai." The crowd turned to the doctor and Reiji ran to the doctor. Reiji, "How is she?" The doctor, Quartet-Night along with STARISH can go back and see her now." Reiji nodded and they all went to the room that was given to Ai. She had a private room since it had to have security since she's famous. Reiji entered the room first and he heard the soft cooing. When the door opened Ai and Syo looked and saw Reiji followed by everyone else. Ai, "Baby Aoi has been born." Everyone, "Awe!" Natsuki had his camera and took a picture, to remember this moment.

So the life with the baby has begun.
