There I was sitting in the examination room at the doctor's office.
*could I be pregnant…I mean Kunihiko and I never discussed having anymore children.*
"How are you doing Anne?" Dr. Makimora asked.
"Ok I guess." I said nervously.
"So you think you might be pregnant?" She asked reading the chart.
"Yes."
"What symptoms do you have?"
"Well, I have been tired lately and I remember last time I was pregnant I couldn't stand the smell of bacon and that's what really got me thinking I was."
"What about your period?"
"I was thinking about that and I can't remember the last time I had one….maybe in December?"
"That was 3 months ago Anne."
"I know." I said running my hand through my hair.
"Ok, relax. Why don't I do an exam and run some test and see, ok?"
"Ok." I nodded.
~~~~~Later~~~~~~
I walked in the house and it was quiet.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
I looked on the fridge and there was a note.
Anne,
Went to the store for stuff for dinner. Ethan and Cooper are with me.
We should be home in a few minutes.
Love you
I smiled and took the note off the fridge.
I walked back into the boys' room and I started picking up their toys they left on the floor.
I hung up their coats and backpacks.
I went into our room and grabbed the laundry and started a load in the washer.
After I did that I went and laid down on the couch.
"Dad, can we please go play our game?"
"Shh. Your mother is resting."
I could hear them talking but I couldn't open my eyes. I was too tired.
"Sorry."
"Go into your rooms for a bit ok?"
"But dad…"
"Go."
I heard the boys' bedroom door close a few seconds later.
"Anne?" Kunihiko said gently shaking me.
"Hmm."
"Did you go see Dr. Makimora?"
"Yes."
"What did she say?" he asked.
I sat up and went into our room.
Kunihiko followed me.
I grabbed my purse and took it out.
I handed it to him.
"12 weeks." I said to him.
"We're having another baby?"
"Yea." I said looking down.
"Why do you look so upset?" he said grabbing my chin so I look at him. "This is great news."
"But we never talked about having any more children. I just want to make sure you are happy about this."
"I am very happy about this." He said kissing me. "Now how about we go and tell the boys." He said grabbing my hand and leading me out into the living room.
A few weeks later I was at the hospital working.
"Dr. Aikawa, I have your mother on the line."
"My mother?"
"Yes."
"Everything ok mom?"
"Yes, everything is great. Especially with the fact I had to hear form my grandsons that they are getting a brother or sister."
"They told you?"
"Yes they did. What I can't figure out is why you didn't tell me?"
"I was going to mother. I was going to this weekend when you came over for dinner."
"Well it seems they beat you to it."
"I can tell. Is this all you needed mom, I am kinda busy here."
"Yes, I will see you this weekend."
"Ok, o and tell Kunihiko when you see him that I will be late getting home. I have an emergency operation this evening."
"Sure, no problem. Bye."
"Bye."
"Everything ok?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Where is the chart for room 340?"
I was finishing up my rounds when I heard a commotion coming from the nurse's station.
I looked around the corner and all the nurses were gossiping over some 'hottie' at the nurse's station.
"What is going on?"
"There is this really sexy man talking with Nurse Danielle."
I looked over and saw Kunihiko standing there.
"He is really sexy." I said walking over to him.
"Wait what are you doing?"
I turned around and winked at them.
"What can I do for you?" I asked leaning against the counter.
"Well you see I'm looking for my wife." He said looking at me.
"What does she look like?"
"Well she has brown hair that falls at her shoulders in a sexy way."
"Ok?"
"O and she has this amazing smile that can light up a room."
"Amazing smile, got it."
He leaned into me whispering in my ear. "O and she has this amazing ass too."
"Mr. Aikawa, I don't think you wife will appreciate you flirting with me."
"I don't think she will mind." He said kissing me slightly on the lips.
The next thing I hear are squeals from the nurses that I left.
"What is with them?"
"Apparently this really sexy guy was standing here."
"O really?"
"Yes."
"Should I be threatened by this man?"
"I don't know… he is pretty hot in his suit." I said smiling.
"Really…" he said smiling back at me
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I figured you didn't get a chance to make your lunch and I doubt you ate any from the cafeteria so…I brought you this." He said holding a bag with a lunch in it for me.
"Thanks, I was starting to get hungry."
"I better go get the boys. I will see you later tonight."
"Ok, O I will be late. I have a surgery this evening."
"Ok, see you tonight." He said kissing me.
Before he left he looked back at the nurses and winked.
They all swooned when he did that.
"Alright, stop gawking at my husband and get back to work." I said taking my lunch to the lounge.
I was just getting out of surgery when I started to feel dizzy.
"Are you ok Dr. Aikawa?"
"Yea, I'm fine." I said sitting down.
"Here." She said handing me a glass of water.
"Thanks."
"Why don't you go home for tonight." Said a fellow doctor.
"Thanks but I need to finish going over my charts." I said standing up only to end up falling back in the chair.
"I got it. Go." He said walking off.
I waited a few minutes then went and grabbed my purse and drove home.
I arrived home a little after 1am.
I walked in and locked the door and started toward the bedroom when Kunihiko walked out.
"You're home." He said rubbing his eyes.
"Yea, the surgery took longer than I thought." I said sitting my purse down.
"You ok?" he asked looking at me.
"Yea, I'm just tired. Ready to go to bed." I said walking toward the bedroom.
"How about I run you a hot bath?"
"That sounds amazing."
"Ok, why don't you get relax while I get it ready?"
"Ok." I said laying on the bed.
I was 6 months pregnant
I woke up and saw Kunihiko was looking at me.
"Good morning." He said smiling.
"Morning. Where you watching me sleep?"
"Yea, you fell asleep before you could take a bath last night."
"Sorry."
"It's ok."
"Mom, Dad are you awake?" Cooper said knocking on the door.
"Come on in Cooper." I said.
"I think Ethan is sick." He said opening the door.
"What?"
I go into their rom and Ethan is shivering in bed.
I feel his forehead and it is a warm.
"You have a fever Ethan. You are staying home today." I say covering him up.
"Is he ok?"
"Yes he is fine. Go get ready for school Cooper."
"I'll go get the thermometer." Kunihiko said leaving the room.
A few minutes later he came back in the thermometer.
"Thanks." I said taking it.
"I will go call the school." Kunihiko said leaving the room.
After a minute the thermometer went off.
"You have a fever Ethan. You stay here and rest and I will get you some juice to drink."
"…Yes…ok thank you." Kunihiko said hanging up the phone.
"What did the school say?" I asked grabbing a glass from the cabinet.
"They are going to send Ethan's homework home with Cooper today."
"Alright." I said pouring some juice and putting it back.
