"Okay," Zenchu said and walked Saitama through the hallway signs. "There's a few turns, but it's not that hard of a path. You have a general idea? This was Garou's idea, by the way. He'll help me make sure you get to her."
"Yeah. And Garou's idea, eh? Good call," Saitama nodded with Mitsumi clinging to his side. They were both wearing white, fluffy robes to show they were getting ready for the hot springs. "I need to know the exact path. I have a feeling I'm gonna forget when things go down. If they go down. I mean…"
"Inichi has memorized the path to help guide you if you lose your way. It was also mentioned that we won't know if you'll care how you'll look, either," Tsuruga snorted. "Tanktop Girl will be with the other girls to ensure they won't be seen by you to keep them calm. I'll have a towel with me just in case, too, that you can take to cover yourself with. Also, Wind Crane will have her fans ready to shield you while you bolt around. For decency."
"I help!" Black Sperm nodded from where he stood.
"Ah…yeah…" Saitama grimaced. "Maybe I'll just wear a set of swimming trunks. That may be the best thing to do. I know I'm not supposed to, but…"
"Just grab a towel on your way out," Mitsumi said.
"That guy is here, though. The one that likes other guys. Ugh…" Saitama said with a bit of distaste. "I don't want him to see me naked. He can look at other guys. Screw it. I'll wear swimming trunks. Make sure there's towels for the girls in case I barge in."
"That's all set," Tacki said when she came over in her robe. "Okay, Lady Mitsumi. All of us girls are set up in the hot springs! Let's go!"
"I love you," Saitama said and kissed Mitsumi gently. Then he looked at his monster dog. "Doggy! Go with her!"
"I love you, too. I'll be okay. Inichi will keep an eye on me," she nodded. The moment her touch left him, he felt something seethe with protective rage. He forced it down and glared at the ground. Overgrown Rover whined, but it turned to follow Mitsumi to do his bidding.
"Shit…you're glowing…" Zenchu said.
"Not by much, but it's there," Garou said when he walked over with concern. "Like…it appears and disappears."
"I figured. My body knows. We'd better move before I forget we're testing this," he growled out and turned away from the hallway. In the hot springs room with the girls, Mitsumi was gasping with sheer delight at the naturally heated water. Blue Ripple was already in the hot springs and studying the water intensely. Bright Bolt was keeping an eye on the surrounding areas. Overgrown Rover was sitting in front of the main entrance to stand guard.
"This feels nice," Wind Crane chuckled. She was able to leave her feather dress behind with the nearby robes, but she'd need it again to change back into her monster form. Tanktop Girl was only sitting by the pool fully dressed to ensure that everything was going to be fine. She was sure she'd jump in later after things settled down.
"I forgot how this can feel against skin," Fire Flight beamed.
"Ahh…so good…" Lily said with a small smile of delight.
"Been quite a while since I was able to enjoy this," Himiko admitted.
"I hope we can build one of these at home," Fubuki chuckled.
"I can help. Just ask," Tatsumaki grinned and laughed when Blue Ripple licked her cheek with appreciation.
"It would be so cool if we could have a personal hot springs!" Kianna grinned at the idea. Iwasaki was also eager to see if it could be done.
"Are you feeling okay?" Kamiko asked Mitsumi from where she sat nearby.
"I'm doing good," Mitsumi chuckled. As the girls continued to chatter about daily and future events, Saitama was barely paying attention to the other guys in the hot springs pool they were in just down the other end of the hallway. He had no time to grab the swim trunks, and several of the men there, including Puri-Puri Prisoner, now saw what he had gained from his intense need from Mitsumi. As much as he would have been smug about it, he simply didn't care. He was too worried about his wife being away from him.
"Master Saitama?" Genos asked carefully.
"What?" Saitama asked with an edge in his tone.
"I'm sure things will be fine," Genos said.
"Right. Sure. Whatever you say," he grumbled.
"You need to chill," Metal Bat said.
"I can't. Not until I'm back with my wife," Saitama growled out.
"She is doing well," Inichi said from where he soaked in the pool. "I am detecting nothing yet. It has only been five minutes."
"I'm sure things will be well," Flashy Flash said. Deep Sea Prince was in a private bath in his room with Akiyama due to the change that happened to his form when he got wet. He didn't want the other heroes to get the wrong idea about him. King was also in a private bath in his room, but he urged for Kianna to go into the hot springs with the other girls to enjoy herself. He knew she was also worried over Mitsumi, and they planned to have a private bath together before bed.
"I wonder when lunch is…" Pig God asked aloud. Watchdog was simply soaking in his dog suit with his usual blank, neutral face watching the others calmly. Sweet Mask had decided to go with his own private bath to be with Tajima. Even Stitch was in his own private bath. Shenjou wasn't there currently. He had decided to explore around the luxurious spa building grounds.
"There is nothing wrong with relaxing with other men. The girls can talk amongst themselves. Besides, this is far more entertaining," Puri-Puri Prisoner started. Then Inichi looked over to cut into his thoughts. :Please don't bait him! He is in no mood for this! He is far more dangerous now than ever before! He will easily punch holes through this place if he feels that Lady Mitsumi is threatened. Watch what you say!:
"All is…well…" Stable Rock said and nuzzled into Saitama's shoulder. He got a good head scratching in reply. "I am…studying…the rock here…"
"Oh?" Saitama asked. "You think we can build one of these at home?"
"Easily…" Stable Rock chuckled.
"A hot springs at home would be rather nice! We could even do an underground waterfall effect from a cave-like setting," Rendor mused from where he soaked by Zenchu.
"Oh! That would be nice…" Saitama said with a small grin at the idea.
"Master, you want to build a hot springs in City Z?" Suiryu asked with a small grin of delight.
"Oh? That would be something. It was also discussed to do one around my dojo, too. We should plan for it," Bane mused. Kamikaze rose a brow at the idea and found himself nodding at the thought.
"Yeah. I think it would be something we all can enjoy. It would be good to use after a heavy workout, too," Saitama nodded. As the men started to discuss the hot springs for City Z with design ideas, Mitsumi suddenly felt a fiery tinge shoot straight through her at the ten minute mark. She gasped and coughed from it with a hard shiver for control. Kamiko's jaw dropped, and she watched Overgrown Rover whine with intense concern before huffing and growling to get their attention that something was severely wrong.
"I…need Saitama…!" Mitsumi said with forced control. "Now!"
"Mitsumi?! Are you okay?" Himiko asked. Blue Ripple now turned to watch her with his own intense concern on her sudden need for Saitama.
"My daughter!" Wind Crane gasped.
"The child is starting to make himself known," Fire Flight frowned.
"Already?!" Bright Bolt asked with shock.
"Is she in pain already?! It hasn't even been ten minutes!" Fubuki said.
"It just turned ten minutes," Tatsumaki frowned and pointed at an elegant wall clock. Tacki jumped out of the pool to put on a robe and ready things. This included setting out the bucket in case things got worse. Tanktop Girl was quick to get up and set up a few sheer screens that were in place for emergency privacy needs to the entrance of the hot springs pool. Tacki saw that and quickly helped her set it up properly.
"A ten minute timer. Oh…!" Kianna winced. "This is bad…!"
"I can't…see…or hear…why?!" Mitsumi gasped and panted at the inner fire that started to internally consume her. Her body was simply getting worse and worse as the seconds ticked out now. All the girls could do was watch with horror at what was happening in front of them. They all knew that they would only make things even more painful for Mitsumi if they tried to help her physically.
"Mitsumi!" Lily said and watched Kamiko leave the pool to start helping Tacki and Tanktop Girl prepare for Saitama's arrival. It was when Mitsumi put a hand to her mouth and bolted for the nearby bucket set out for her that all real hell broke loose.
:GET ME SAITAMA NOW!: Mitsumi shrieked out mentally to Inichi. :I can't stop getting sick! I can't see! I can't hear anything! My body is on fire! Help me! Get him to me! PLEASE!:
"Mr. Saitama! Lady Mitsumi needs you! Now!" Inichi suddenly said with complete shock at what he just heard from her. "She just got intensely ill!"
"MITSUMI!" Saitama shrieked and jumped out of the pool he was in. Stable Rock glared at any of the men that saw his retreating naked form and gave a hiss of warning to stay put. Two of Wind Crane's fans were quick to dart around Saitama to shield him and protect him while he ran. Kamikaze looked at Bane with a bit of helplessness. Garou and Zenchu looked at each other to nod and dart from the pool to help ensure that Mitsumi could be reached. Saitama was just barely able to remember where to go.
:Go to the right! Follow the signs!: Inichi urged.
:I know! What happened with her?!: Saitama asked.
:Left! Go left! She got sick! Her body is on fire! She has no senses at all now! Hurry!: Inichi began to panic.
"SHIT!" Saitama spat out before finding his monster dog running out to meet him before turning to lead him to her. Tsuruga saw him and made way for him. He did hold out a towel for Saitama to snag it and wrap it around his waist hastily. Black Sperm now moved with him to further show the way to her. Blue Ripple opened the doors with a mental thought, and Saitama was able to see Mitsumi huddled over a bucket. She was trembling uncontrollably and gasping for air through the pain she felt.
"I don't think she can hear us," Tacki grimaced and put the large robe over him and Mitsumi to cover them. She made sure other robes were ready for use if any of the other girls needed them. Kamiko was waiting until she knew she could help in her own robe. For now she knew that Saitama had to fix this first. He hastily pulled the towel off under the massive robe to get ready to be with Mitsumi if he knew he absolutely had to.
"The others can watch fine. The mesh screens are in place," Tanktop Girl whispered softly. "Everyone's worried! The moment ten minutes hit…"
"I see. Okay. Mitsumi? Hey…I'm here now…" Saitama said and gently ran a hand over Mitsumi's back. She cried out with relief at his touch before throwing up again in the bucket. He turned to look at Wind Crane. "Your fans! Now! I need privacy!"
"Of course!" Wind Crane nodded and summoned all of them to help. Blue Ripple focused for all of his fans to appear with the others to ensure none would intervene. A dome was quickly made, but the blades and spikes were held in to show they knew that all within the room can be trusted.
"Can you hear me?" Saitama asked gently. At no response, he realized that his inner power within her had her senses trapped. This is just like what happened to me when I used my power without her! I need to free her! And I think I know how to do just that…
"Saitama!" Mitsumi gasped out in the sound-proof barrier the moment he claimed her. He winced at what he felt after that, but the sensation quickly subsided. He carefully moved her to let her cling to him, and he continued to run his hands over her. He held her trembling form close. When he rested a hand on her belly, she cried out again with a form of relief from the fiery pain that assaulted her. She was in absolute tears by the time the pain finally melted away, and all she could do was cling to him helplessly.
"I'm here," he soothed and held her closer. "I'm here…it's okay now…"
"I couldn't hear…see…none of it…" she whimpered hoarsely and rested her head against his neck.
"I know. I've been there, too. I realized what happened. I'm with you now. It's okay. How much time went by before it finally hit?" he asked gently and kissed her forehead. "Do you know?"
"Ten…minutes…" she swallowed and coughed out a bit more bile into the waiting bucket. "That's all…we have apart…"
"Okay. That's when I was told everything happened, too. A bit more than five minutes, so that's good. Of course, things can change. I'll make sure to always be with you within five minutes. I won't trust ten minutes, since that is when everything hits. We'll stick to five minutes with a ten minute emergency timer. Okay? Let's get you to rinse out your mouth," he said tenderly and kept himself locked to her. "Easy now. I'm not leaving. I want to make sure you're well."
"Okay…" she said weakly. He kept the massive robe around them and had the fans move aside to hover around them. He made a gesture for a cup of water, and Tacki was able to get it for them. Kamiko was right there to check over her under Overgrown Rover's watchful gaze. The other girls stayed in the hot springs and watched with complete concern.
Tanktop Girl ensured they couldn't be seen in full, even though she knew Saitama didn't care. As much as the other girls were alarmed at what was going on, they were also relieved that Mitsumi was finally free of the pain. Blue Ripple remained in the water to protect them, too, in case any of the men did attempt to peer in. Black Sperm was already ensuring that wasn't going to happen.
"Saitama," Fire Flight sighed with a soft chuckle.
"Yes?" he asked while holding Mitsumi close.
"Your son is very strong in growth," she mused.
"Really? Wait. Son?! I'm gonna be a dad to a son?!" Saitama gaped. "Is that why she got sick?! Not a fever? Nothing else? But…a baby boy?!"
"Yes. He grows very swiftly. I know it is a son from the fire within her. I can sense it. You will need to be with her constantly to appease him," Fire Flight said. Mitsumi could only shiver and continue to cling to Saitama now. Himiko was floored that she was going to be an aunt. All of the other girls now clamored with a form of excited joy.
"A baby?! Really?! Baby?!" Saitama asked with complete elation.
"Yes. A son," Fire Flight chuckled again and blinked her glowing fiery eyes with complete knowing.
"Kamiko?! Baby?!" Saitama asked her now. "Is it true?!"
"I can check," she said. "Lay back, Lady Mitsumi?"
"Okay," she sighed and let Saitama move a bit to let her recline on him easily. Kamiko rested her hands on Mitsumi's belly to gently feel around where her womb was. He kept an arm around her chest to help cover her a bit, and the large robe easily kept them covered for modesty over their hips. Now Kamiko felt the slight hardening that was always present with a pregnancy, and she smiled with a nod of understanding.
"So…?!" Saitama asked now with a form of eagerness.
"It's true," Kamiko said with a small smile. "She's pregnant."
"The fans. Um…all of you vibrate if it's true!" he said to the hovering fans. At the buzzing of vibration they gave him, he was just barely able to contain his squeal of intense joy at the news.
"Saitama…" Mitsumi sighed when he pulled her upright against him gently.
"Mitsumi, do you think you're good now?" he asked.
"I think so. Ten minutes safely. Five minutes for a safety zone as we agreed. So…" Mitsumi said and got squeezed.
"A baby, Mitsumi! We're having a baby!" Saitama said with a large smile.
"Yes…" she blushed and found herself kissed. He was able to separate from her and wrap her up in the robe.
"Okay. I'll be right baby! Back! I'll be right back!" he said with a quick correction and made sure the towel was wrapped around his waist. "Doggy! Protect her and my baby!"
Overgrown Rover huffed and licked Mitsumi's cheek. Saitama now darted down the hallway to run towards where the guys were in the hot springs room.
"Master Saitama! Is she well?!" Genos asked when he appeared.
"BABY! I'm having a son! It's why she got sick! A baby! I had to tell you all! A boy! Fire Flight said so! Fans said so! Kamiko said so! I'm going back to her! I only have ten minutes away from her, but…yeah! BAAAABY!" he said with intense excitement before darting back out of the room. He was still shouting out his joy all the way back down the hallway.
"Yeah…he definitely took it a bit more intensely than me…" Kamikaze chuckled. "And I'm having twins with Tacki. I was speechless when she told me…but…like this? Nope. Nothing like this."
"Oh! He's going to have a child! How beautiful!" Puri-Puri Prisoner said with his own form of happiness.
"That kid's gonna drive Lady Mitsumi nuts," Zenchu frowned from where he was back in the hot springs. Garou sighed and nodded from where he was reclining again in the hot springs.
"I will have a bit of work cut out for me," Inichi chuckled.
"How is that?" Flashy Flash asked.
"I'll need to keep track of Lady Mitsumi's thoughts," he explained. "If she feels discomfort of any kind…"
"Yeah. We don't need Saitama trying to find ways to keep her happy. We need to do that first," Garou nodded with full agreement.
"There's something else, too, that we must consider," Bane said.
"Eh?" Kamikaze asked.
"Recall that a wedding is supposed to happen once she was reported to be with child," Bane said. "If she only has ten minutes away from him…"
"Shit! They'll have to come up the aisle together. No choice in it," Zenchu grimaced. "No bachelor party, either."
"I doubt Master Saitama would want one," Genos said.
"Dad wouldn't care about other girls," Fumio said from where he sat with Child Emperor. "He'd just roll his eyes with boredom and go find Mom."
"I can totally see that," Garou grinned.
"Lady Mitsumi never liked looks in a man, too. She based her likes on character," Inichi pointed out. Suiryu sighed and felt a bit disgruntled.
"What's up with you?" Zombieman asked.
"Ah…I thought…she was single when I saw her. Then I learned that Master Saitama was with her. I still feel…a little jealous…" Suiryu admitted.
"You ever thought of being with a man?" Puri-Puri Prisoner asked with a light batting of his eyes. Superalloy looked over and cringed a bit. Even Tanktop Master cleared his throat and looked away.
"Nah. I'm all for the ladies," Suiryu grinned. He had completely missed the hint, and Zenchu hid his small laugh with Garou.
"Oh," Puri-Puri Prisoner frowned.
"You look like someone that wants any type of girl that simply ogles you," Kamikaze grinned lightly. "That can get you in trouble."
"I know. And it did," Suiryu sighed. Kamikaze crossed his arms over his chest and nodded to continue. "I…thought I had something with Siren…but I let other girls get to me. She's with a robot guy now."
"That's right, huh?" Kamikaze frowned.
"I almost got up to slap you when I found out," Rendor grunted out. Suiryu blinked with surprise at this news.
"Metal Knight," Genos said with a nod. "Siren is partnered with him now."
"Yeah. I feel like…I lost something important. It's tough to explain," Suiryu admitted. Zenchu looked at Garou to get a knowing nod back.
"You lost an amazing chance of a lifetime. It may come back. Hopefully it does for you. We can help keep a look out for a good girl," Garou chuckled.
"Thanks. I know I'm going to need that," Suiryu sighed. Now that they were chatting on where to look for a decent girl, Saitama was carrying Mitsumi back into their guest room. Stable Rock set himself on the bed to sigh with contentment when they all got into the room. Overgrown Rover stretched itself out on a floor rug. Blue Ripple was able to generate the water that was held in the hot springs right in their bathtub near the center of the room. Saitama set Mitsumi into it first after setting aside the robe with his towel, and he joined her soon after.
"That pain…I mean…I saw how it affected you…" she frowned.
"I know," Saitama said and hugged her to him. He watched all of the fans move around the room with a new form of protective awareness. "You all aren't gonna rest now. Are you?"
The fans flitted around playfully to show he was right. Bright Bolt trotted up to them now and said, "There's a spot on the roof of this dump you can sit at. It looks like there may be a good view of the sunset later on."
"Bright Bolt! This place is not a dump!" Mitsumi said with a shake of her head. When Saitama snickered a bit, she glowered at him with a small pout.
"I just find it funny," he grinned and kissed her. She sighed and rested her head against his neck. "A baby, Mitsumi. Finally. I know. We know. And it will be a boy. It feels so…amazing! After all this time!"
"Yeah," she blushed softly. "I…actually did know…"
"What?! And you didn't tell me?!" he gaped.
"Would you have let me move from your side?" she asked.
"Ah…likely not…" he frowned.
"And…you were right about the ginger cookie…"
"WHAT?! You were feeling sick?! Crap! I mean…"
"I'm okay now."
"Okay. We'll…have to have more. I didn't want you to get sick again, though. Damn it!"
"Well, we had to know about this. What would happen and how bad it can really get. Right?"
"Yeah…"
"Now we know about this and what to expect. Ten minutes. Just keep me with you all the time. Of course…there is the next big step…"
"Hmm?"
"The wedding."
"You're not moving from my side. I don't care about crappy traditions. You can't move from my side. We'll just show up together," he nodded.
"Would you have a bachelor party?" she asked.
"Hell no. I don't need it. I'd be too bored," he shrugged. "I'd much rather be with you. The other guys out there can enjoy that. I don't need it."
"You think so?"
"I know so. And don't you think you need a night like that, either!"
"I wouldn't be interested. I figured we could just…strip for each other…"
"Ah…hmm…" he mused at the idea. "I like that…"
"I figured you would," she chuckled and found herself kissed intensely.
"A baby. We're going to be parents!" he grinned.
"Should we tell your parents?" she asked.
"Ah…no. Not yet. Not until we get home," he said to get her laughing. He rested a hand on her belly now to see her shiver with relief. "The moment I started to do this I felt that something had happened. Now I know. I knew it."
"Yeah," she smiled and let him kiss her again.
"A baby…" he sighed and let her cuddle into him. "At last…"
"Yeah…" she whispered and closed her eyes to rest with him in the heated water. It was a moment of sheer bliss to him that he was savoring. At a soft knock on the door, Overgrown Rover huffed to show it was a friend. Blue Ripple opened the door to reveal Fubuki and Inichi walking in fully dressed.
"Hey! We wanted to drop by," Fubuki smiled. Several fans had moved to help cover the tub a bit to shield the bathing couple. Two chairs were found and brought over for them to sit down in.
"Indeed. Lady Mitsumi? You are well now?" Inichi asked. "In truth, I detected nothing until you reached out to me."
"You couldn't hear me?" Mitsumi frowned.
"Correct. I could not hear you or even sense you," he frowned. "Even though I'm in my human form, I fear that it would have been the same as a monster, too."
"I bet that was my power drowning things out," Saitama said on thinking it over. "Think about how it was when it was affecting me. I couldn't hear you. You couldn't even break through to me. Wind Crane may have to help keep an eye on her thoughts now. Blue Ripple might be able to, also."
"I can attempt that," Blue Ripple nodded.
"We'll definitely need Fire Flight to keep an eye on Mitsumi, too. She can feel my son in her. She felt the fire that's in her from me and knew it. She can monitor him growing in Mitsumi. That will be crucial," Saitama said.
"I can see that! We shall all consult this later," Inichi agreed.
"Hmm. Wasn't there a bad guy here?" Saitama frowned.
"Ah. I believe there was. He won't be here until dinnertime, though. Likely near the middle of the night. Rather odd…" Inichi frowned from what he remembered. "I shall see what Sweet Mask is aware of."
"Fine. Because if that guy tries to attack my wife and growing child…" Saitama said rather darkly.
"Doubtful. With all of the heroes here? He will think twice," Inichi nodded.
"Just let us know when he arrives," Fubuki said.
"I am curious about the flea that was touched by that GOD monster, though. It has me wondering what all it can really do," Mitsumi frowned. "Anyways…I'm a bit hungry again. I threw up everything."
"Crap! You did!" Saitama said with a grimace. At another knock on the door, Inichi opened it to let in Orotsu with a small table tray. He was in his monster form, though, due to the amount of dishes he was holding.
"Lady Mitsumi! Congratulations! I prepared a special meal to help you. I shall also study what meals are best suitable for a pregnancy," Orotsu promised.
"Good," Saitama nodded. "We'll likely head down for lunch after this."
"I'm sure everyone will want to see us," Mitsumi nodded and sipped on some miso soup.
"They will. This is just to ensure that you will have a form of nourishment to perk up your strength. Here. I have some lightly toasted bread and a couple ginger cookies," Orotsu said while moving the various plates around. "Anno will be here shortly, too. When he learned you finally showed your condition, he asked the restaurant customers if Neutral Grounds could close early to help tend to you. He is preparing things for tomorrow now to close up the restaurant."
"We can wear the giant robe. Separate robes until we get to the dining room, though, for better moving around," Saitama said. "We'll have lunch, too."
"Okay," Mitsumi nodded and winced a bit.
"Mitsumi! What's wrong?!" he asked. He put his hand on her belly to watch her gasp with a form of shocked relief. "I see…"
"It may be from what happened earlier," Inichi said.
"True. Okay. Doggy!" Saitama said to get Overgrown Rover to look over and huff with expectation. "Keep my hand on her as much as possible! Even while sleeping! You can do this?"
It gave a growling yawn before getting up and trotting over to the tub. It lifted itself up on its hind legs and clung to the lip of the tub with a cute tilt of its head. It blinked all six lightly glowing, ruby-red eyes and rolled out its tongue.
"Cute puppy!" Mitsumi beamed and laughed when it crawled into the tub to swim over lightly. It snuggled into them both happily and rumbled with affection.
"Okay. Everyone that's not a pet needs to leave. We'll be down in the dining room for lunch," Saitama nodded. Inichi chuckled and blinked at a thought from Rendor. He mused at the idea and found himself mentally thinking to Fubuki. She grinned a touch mischievously on their way out the door.
"Are we ready to see the others?" Mitsumi smiled softly at him.
"We'll be down there in fifteen minutes," Saitama said and kissed her intensely. Then he looked at her with grin. "Baby!"
"Really?" she laughed softly and enjoyed being in his embrace.
"Yes. And I'm glad that I finally know for sure. I'll do my best to let you do things. But only within the safety window," he nodded.
"Right," she agreed and snuggled into him. Overgrown Rover was able to leave the tub and rumbled when Blue Ripple pulled all the water off of it to put back into the tub. Saitama was now able to lay back a bit in the tub with Mitsumi nestled into him securely. Five minutes. If anyone tries to make me wait past that, they get slapped. No questions asked. No reason needed. I'll warn ahead. That's the most anyone will get out of me. Nothing will keep me away from her now. I won't let it.
