A/N: Hiya again! How are you all? Good? I hope so! And I also hope you're enjoying my story! Please continuing reading and reviewing! Also at the end of this chapter I have a question that if you would be ever so nice that you would answer in your reviews? Please?
"I can't believe you're going on a date with Yuki Sohma! You'll have to tell me all about it when you get back! Like everything!" Screeched Carly down the phone, I had already told Amaya and she had also reacted in the just about the same way.
"I will! I will!" I laughed back. I was laid on my back talking down the phone to Carly just absent mindly stroking my now relatively large baby bump gently. By now I was hoping, praying, just feel a slight movement in there. I did think I felt something a little earlier but it turned out it was indigestion.
"Have you felt anything yet?" She asked eagerly.
"No, I thought I did this morning though."
"And?"
"It was indigestion."
"Umiko! Tell that baby to hurry up and move I wanna feel him kick! I've been looking forward to that since you told us you actually pregnant!"
"I know, I have too!"
"Well," She sighed suddenly calmer, "Do you know who the Father is yet?" I sat bolt upright on the bed. This, apart from the constant nausea, was one of the things that kept me up last night and suddenly as I was feeling urge to throw up once more.
"No, I don't know," I replied retching silently but violently as I tried to resist my need to vomit.
"Oh, well you should maybe start trying to remember Umiko." She said firmly and I clapped a hand to my mouth to stop myself from messing up the clean quilt.
"I have to go Carly!" I said hurriedly and hung up. I clambered off the mattress as we quickly as possible and ran into the hall way. Looking desperately around I realised I couldn't actually remember which door led to the bathroom.
Not now! Any time but now!
I felt like a rabbit trapped in the headlights, unable to move just staring around helplessly. I finally found the power in my legs to move and I ran into a random room crashing straight into Kyo.
POOF!
"Damn girl! What do you think you're doing running into my room like that! Get out!" Hissed an angry orange cat in my face, his fur stood on end.
"I-I'm sorry!" I cried desperately through the gaps in my retching.
"GET OUT!" He shouted loudly and I ran out of his room faster than a bullet leaving a gun. I was back to being helpless in the hall but this time there was a figure in the hall way that had not been then when I left.
"Sh-shigure?" I stammered.
"Yes Umiko?" He replied turning around to face me, "Umiko! What's wrong Darl-" He cut himself short his eyes now wide and concerned.
"Couldn't find the bathroom... gonna throw up... like now!" I managed to choke out between deep breaths. He pushed open a door leading to the room I needed the most and gently pushes me inside.
I knelt down beside the toilet and promptly vomited. Turning around to try and scrape back my hair out the way I found that it was already being held back. I followed my hair up until my hands met somebody elses. Blushing madly I wiped the sick from my mouth with some toilet roll and turned to face the owner of the hands.
"Are you okay now Umiko?" He asked gently a warm smile spreading across his face as he looked at me. For the first time today he finally allowed me to look back at him and our eyes locked together like the had done last night.
"Y-Yeah, I think so." I answered quietly not wanting to break our gaze and he didn't seem to be making a move either.
"Umiko.." He started taking me by the hands, he closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath in. "Have a good time with a Yuki, okay?" He sighed and let all his air out looking down at the ground. I eyed him suspiciously but decided to let it slide as he was beginning to go a deep shade of crimson.
"I will, thank you Shigure." I smiled weakly now leaning against the toilet for support because I simply couldn't hold myself up.
He reached his hands forward and pressed them against my bare stomach, shivering at his touch I flinched slightly but immediately grew accommodated to the feeling. In fact I quite in enjoyed it.
"You've changed so much Umiko.." He breathed out the words quietly so they were almost inaudible.
"Yeah, now I look like I've swallowed a football!" My hands going over the top of his on my stomach. He shook his head with a laugh.
"It makes you look cute, baby bumps always make women look cute!" He smiled gently the mood now lighter than about 3 minutes ago. He stood up and held out a hand to bring me up too.
"Thank you Shigure," I said gratefully as we walked out into the hall.
"No problem Umiko." He replied with a smile, I began to make my way inside Tohru's room. I smiled at Shigure as I halfway disappeared but before I went inside fully he kissed me gently on the cheek.
Blushing like mad I turned to face him and disappeared completely inside the room as the biggest grin you will ever see plastered itself all over my face.
A/N: Probably the shortest chapter I've written but I'm hoping it's short and sweet! The next one will be longer I promise! Please review! It means the world to be!
ALSO! The question is: Who do you want Umiko's first kick to be with?
Yuki?
Shigure?
Kyo?
Hatori?
Pleeeeease answer! Thank you everybody!
