Akito looked at the test reading positive with disbelief. She had taken a total of 5 because she couldn’t believe it was true. How could she a *monster* become a mother.
“No…no…no!! This can’t be happening.” She pulled at her hair. The light was to much, it hurt her head. Akito flicked the lights off and then sat on the floor. Pulling her knees to her chest face covered by her hands.
Time passed but weather it was minutes or hours she hadn’t the faintest idea.
She heard the door open but stayed silent and still.
Akito?” Shigure called softly. He notices the bathroom door open. Peering inside he saw her sitting on the floor with a soft sigh he sat down beside her taking one of her hands from her face and stroking it gently he asked.
“What’s wrong?”
She pointed to the tests laying scattered across the bathroom. Her face still hidden in her other hand. Shigure turned the lights on and looked them all over briefly. He swollowed after the initial shock had worn he sat beside her again.
“I don’t know how it could have happened. I was so sickly and with the hormones I was on as a kid. I was sure it be impossible.”
“It can’t be that surprising, we have sex daily. Twice if I get extremely lucky-“ His snarky response was cut off by a slap to his arm.
“Don’t joke about this! This can’t happen, I…I am the last person who should ever become a parent. A monster like me?! I would just fuck it all up! Like Mother-“
“No, you won’t.” Shigure said firmly. “Because you are nothing like your mother. That women is a monster. Would you say such vile things as she has to any child? Treat them with such cruelty and indifference?”
Akito swallowed. “Once I might have, I have done such terri-“
Shigure silenced her with a finger. “This isn’t about you in the past this is about you now. Would you do those things now?”
“NO! Of course now how could you even think that!” Akito shouted, anger filling her at the suggestion ahe might harm the new thing the new life growing in her.
“Akito, I think you will be a loving mother. And I of course will make the perfect father. I mean I already have the experience of raising 3 teenagers on my own.”
Akito barked out a laugh. “I think is more likely Tohru raised you all.” His reassurance had calmed her some at least made her laugh.
“Do you want me to ask Hatori to come by and confirm it?”
“NO!” Akiro stopped herself, taking deep breaths. “It can wait till tomorrow. He has a date tonight. I don’t want to ruin that.”
“Okay then, what do you want me to order for dinner? You are of course eating for two now…”
“Soba, that sounds great right now.”
“As my goddess wishes.”
Shigure stood and offered her a hand help her to hwe feet. She gripped his hand. “Would…would you go with me tomorrow I want to get an ultrasound and I need you there.”
Shigure raised her hand and kissed it. “You couldn’t keep me away if you tried. And I promise no matter what the gender, any child of ours will be loved by me. I won’t change anything about them. Besides they are more likely to take after there carefree and light hearted father!”
Akito smacked his arm. “You are so full of shit.”
