11. Shower Grips and Cold Showers...

Tomoe had been to sick to think that night, in fact he was shocked by it all. His stomach was twisting and turning and it was driving him crazy.. When they finally turned in he found himself even more uncomfortable when Nanami asked him- with a pouty look- If he coudl sleep with her again.

He had gone stiff once again but he was to sick to argue as he laid beside her and snuggled down. He had turned his back on her in the big dance room while she kept her light on slightly and read a book or two about Yokai and pregnacies.

For Tomoe he found himself staring at the floor and biting his lip slightly that night, not knowing if he'd puke again or something. he traced the floor with his finger before sighing out and feeling Nanami lean on his arm.

His face flushed before he looked up to see her looking at him questionably. He glared and huffed as he tried to shrug her off, but that wasn't going to well since she held on and pouted slightly.

" Are you okay?" She whispered as Tomoe rolled his eyes and shook her away. He was just thinking, was that forbidden? The teen was not ready for a baby, now he really wished he had never drank with her that night..

He still had to get his phone fixed..

He shook his head and sighed out weakly, he knew she was expecting. She woudl shine sometimes, and she smelled like a pregnant woman. What made it worse was that it was his baby, and ever since the older times... he was the second most powerful demon out there.

And the thought was annoying and slightly scary. Why? Because even if he was touch in those things? He knew nothing about babies, espeically half breeds...He cheered his lip weakly and huffed.

" Are you not feeling well?" Nanami pouted but he only glared at her,

" Stay on your side of the bed.' He snapped and shoved her carefully over. Making sure not to hurt her stomach, When he did so Nanami blinked and stared at him shocked.. She wasn't expecting him to push her like that. Was he that mad that the baby was his?

Was he mad that the baby was his? Did he not want the baby? Was she going to be alone with a yokai child? It worried her and as her wonderful pregnancy hormones kicked in?

Tomoe regreted shoving her..

" W-Why are you being so mean." Nanami choked, her eyes welled up with over dramamitc tears. Tomeo on the other hand blinked and stared at her in shock.. he was NOT expecting that. Was this normal or.. Or what? he bit his lip as she sniffed.

" The baby is important, why can't you see that! Do you truly want to be a familair and thats all?" She sniffed, ' We don't have to be loves or anything, but at least be there for the baby.' She whined as Tomoe looked at her weakly.

Oi, She was good at this guilt trip thing, and it bothered him when she went off like this; Which he did not like since he wasn't even supposed to care about her opinion at all. The teen sighed out weakly and shook his head weakly.'

" I'm not feeling well.." He whispered out as he looked down and let his hair shade his eyes, ' I did not mean to make you cry... jsut get some sleep okay? I-It won't be healthy for the baby if you stay up all the time.' he muttered leaving Nanami to pause and look at him in shock.

She wasn't expecting Tomoe to say such things, in fact she coudln't believe what she had just heard; But like as soon as he said it? The sooner he turned his back on her and laid down, his ears flopped as he tried to fall asleep.'

Nanami on the other hand blinked and turned the light out, she laid down slightly and snuggled the pillow before staring up at the ceiling and then touching her stomach. There was no bump, but she coudl tell where her pelvis was starting to strtch. Which meant that the small and legendary baby bump would soon be seen.

She paused and smiled slightly before looking over at Tomoe slightly, her eyes traveled over him and she wasn't sure if he was alseep or not, But she didn't care as she scooted closer and nuzzled him. She buried her face in his shoulder blade and sighed out slightly, Falling alseep herself..

But she didn't catch Tomeo looking over his shoulder and piting his lip as he turned and looked her way, He pulled her face to his chest and nuzzled her slightly.. and fell asleep.. Not knowing what he was doing and not caring...'

" WHHHYYYY!" Nanami choked, " WHY TOMOE!" She choked as she heaved again and the fox who was in his uniform held her hair up and bit his lip. She threw up again and whined. She had taken the pill that Tomoe had FORCED her to take, and now she as having the daily wonder of morning sickness.

She didn't like this.. and she wanted to hit him where the sun didn't shine, just for pay back for getting her like this!

She puked again and whined when Inari poked his head in the door and sighed out weakly as he looked at Tomoe. Tomoe was just holding her hair up and sighing out as he ran his ther hand through his hair and tried to figure out what was going on.

The harvest god then sighed out and shook his head, letting his chest nut brown hair sway slightly as he bit his lip and sighed out.

" Tomoe, " He smiled weakly and sighed, " That order I mentioned is here, Plus theres some other stuff on the way. Like cabnit locks, Toliet seat locks and shower door guards.. Also those soft tips for the sides of the tables?" He smiled while Tomoe looked at him blankly.

" Why woudl i need corner guards?" he ground out before Inari snickered and covered his mouth.

" You say that now, But once the baby is here your going to curse and be all panicky. I know you Tomoe, You'd do anything to say your furture child from danger.. And Corners are very dangerous." he nodded slightly and grinned while Tomoe rolled his eyes.

He then took his fragil pale hand and gently rubbed Nanami's back down in a soft motion, She whined and sighed out before relaxing slightly and letting her shoudlers slump. To be truthful she had been at this all morning so right now he felt a bit guilty. After all..

He did get her like this..

Tomeo thens ighed out as he looked at Inari who sighed out, ' Dear, When your done go drink some of that tea.. I know it smells bad but it helps. You too Tomoe. Your in the risk version too.' he grinned making Tomeo glare at him and grind his teeth.

In fact he was annoyed to even think that he could get his moring sickness today as well. Last night was a nightmare.. And they had woken up with her sprawled out everywhere.. He guessed she kicked about in her sleep alot..

It made so much more sense now that he thought about it.

Tomoe rubbed his side and watched as Nanami nodded and flushed, when she was done did she stand shakingly and nod, " Thank you Mr Inari Sir." She smiled slightly and bit her lip, " I think I'll have some of that tea now. ' She whined as Inari smiled and nodded.

But as Tomoe started to follow her Inari shook his head and pushed him beack into the bathroom, " I told you.." he sighed ut and pulled over a brown package, " That shower grip is here..." he nodded as Tomoe ground his teeth and looked at the box in hatred..

Great.

" WHAT THE CRAP!" Tomoe snapped as he looked at the screw driver and tried to work with the screws, that didn't seem to want to go into the wall. It was driving him insane and the shower grip looked crooked anyway.

Alot of people saw him as someone who could do anything.. but he cursed all human inventions and screamed at people who were actaully smart enough to do this crap. The fox ground his teeht and winced before he wanted nothing more then to stab the screw driver into the wall in front of him.

Sadly he didn't and just ended up banging his head on the wall slightly. He was sitting in the floor of the shower, muttered a string of curses and fowl words. His head hurt and he whined slightly from the fact that he had to install this, and then later figure out how to install everything else.

He ground his teeth weakly and started to curse at the shower grip again before Nanami poked her head in and blinked slightly.'

" Hey.. WHat are you doing? You've been in here for a while.." She pouted, signifing she had to pee. Somethng that pregnant woman had to do alot of apparently. Tomoe looked at her annoyed and shook his head as he held the screw driver againa nd once again tried to insert the screws...

It did not work well.

This left the fox twitching before Nanami blinked and walked over. She then sighed out weakly and poked him.

" Baka.." She whispered, " Your holding it wrong one, " She muttered and held up a finger, " And Two.' She held up another finger, ' Your not screwing the screws the right way." She sighed out making Tomoe paused and then twitch. Sadly his Ego was just drenched in cold water as Nanami grabbed it from hi and screwed it into the wall with ease.

In fact she had it installed in only ten minutes, kind of like what the box said when Tomoe had laughed at it earlier and burned it to a crisp.

The teen twitched, Bit he kept his mouth closed slightly, not thinking about what he was seeing at the moment. He coudln't if he did he'd loose it and scream at the top of his lungs. But he did blink when Nanami reached for his hand to help him up.

The teen blinked and looked up, his eyes wide before he looked awaya nd bit his lip, " I can get up on my own.' he muttered and stood up, only to hit his head on the shower head and then slip and let his hand hit the water.

It suddenly srayed him with cold water making him yelp and jump out in shock. His heart throbbing as he stared at the shower and then at Nanami, who was now frozen. Then to his horror she looked at him.. and then cracked up.

She snorted before her hand and laughed before Tomoe glared and hissed out in annoaynce, making her shut up but still snort from time to time.

" Go and pee already!' He snapped and stormed out slightly. His face showing he was not amuzed at the moment, and who would be?

It was not fun to be laughed at by your mate...

Even if its your accidental one.

Tomoe and Nanami sipped the tea weakly, making faces as they did so but not realizing how much they looked alike before Inari laughed slightly and shook his head. He didn't know how Tomoe found this girl... he was shocked and yet it was beauitful in a way.

Yeah sure, Maybe it was an accident, but if he had not given up yet? Then it had to be okay. It had to have something there that no one else saw. Like a warm hand gesture and the filling of falling in love, uncnditional love..

He smiled at this and shook his head when he watched them both get sugar and hoped that the bitter taste woudl go away. Then they both looked at each other real funny before Tomoe looked away and Nanami looked down.

Inari smiled at this but didn't say anything else as he sighed and sat there in contentment. How close were they already? The closeness that they did't even understand?

He wondered what it was like... the way they were close..

Flashback

Tomoe looked at the girl beside them as they talked and stared at the ceiling of Nanami's room, He looked at the ceiling and sighed out as he smiled slightly.

" So.. Nanami.' he whispered, " What do you do for a living?" he muttered as she looked at him and propped her head on her hand. She honestly had a hangover from a few hours ago, and now looking at a stranger.. well. It was embarrassing to think of what she had done.

But she smiled slightly and shrugged, " You first.' She smiled before Tomoe groaned but laughed as he looked at the ceiling again and sighed.

" I'm a familair.. To a god.' he grinned and smiled as Nanami gave him a funny look. He then laughed.

" See? I shouldn't have told you at all.' he fake pouted but grinned gently, ' I work for my father... You know Mike shrine right?" he asked as he movd to lay on his stomach and look at her.

It made Nanami blink, she knew that shrine.. but she never visited it. She had no clue that this teen with fox ears had worked there the whole time.. and that his father was the legendary match making god Mikage; But you learn new things everyday.

" I know it.. I'm surprised.." She smiled, " How long have you worked there?" She blinked. But it didn't surprise her when the teen heistated and shrugged,

" I while.' He muttered but smiled, ' But I haven't been out for a long time.. so it was nice to run into you.' He smiled and bit his lip," But you own me a phone.' He snickered and held up the cracked screened phone.

Nanami then snorted and smiled as she kissed him slightly, making him puase but smile as she laughed, " That phone... " She paused, " How about my number?" She pouted slightly and smiled before Tomoe smirked and nodded.

" Sure.. And I'll call.. When I get time for my phone to be fixed.' he grinned and she nodded.

End of Flashback.

Inari sighed, Who knew? Maybe they were close? Or they talked and got to click in a special way. He then sighed out weakly and chuckled when Tomoe finsihed his tea and sighed out weakly.

" Thats sick.' he muttered darkly before Nanami giggled.

" Not as sick as vodca and ice cream.' She snorted before Tomoe got quite and to Inari's shock tried not to laugh.. He honestly didn't know what they were talking about, and maybe he didnt want to know. Apparently thats why Nanami was pregnant..

He smiled slightly as Tomoe sent him a silent and embarrassed glare Before Inari gasped and clicked his fingers,

" I forgot to tell you.' he smiled slightly, ' Tomorrow? The princess of the swamp is coming over.' he nodded and smiled, " Apparently Yonomori spilled about Mikage shrine expecting a baby. " he bit his lip," You know how she is about children and safe care Tomoe... Be on your best behavior.' he nodded before Nanami blinked.

" Whos she?" She blinked before Tomoe rolled his eyes slightly and then smirked as an idea popped into his head. He leaned back and smirked before standing up and looking directly at Inari.

" Well even if she does come she won't see Nanami.' He smirked and paused, ' We both know what will happen in a head god hears about this.. so she won't even see Nanami.' he smirked and looked at Nanami, his white hair bobbing,

" You? Your staying Away from her.' He smirked before Nanami blinked and turned red in anger.

" WHAT!?"

Inari winced... Oh boy..
