You stare at the paper in front of you unsure of what you’re feeling and what you should feel.
You and Ushijima got married just a year ago and there’s already a tiny human inside you.
It’s not that you two didn’t want to have kids, but according to your plans, Wakatoshi would focus on his career and you on yours, so you could gather enough money to make sure your child has all the support they needed.
But now that plan went completely out of the window.
You fold the test results and put them back in the envelope, then wipe away the tears that fell onto your skin.
Thank God your shift already ended, so you fair your goodbyes to your colleagues and speed to your car.
You throw your bag and the envelope in the back seat and stay paralyzed on the driver’s for a while.
You're gonna be a mother.
It's scary, yes, but you can't help but feel a little spark on your chest when you imagine you and your husband with a tiny baby that shares your traits.
Your phone vibrates on your leg and you look down to see a text message from no other than him.
>>I’ll be done in twenty minutes, love
With that, you start the car and head to the Adlers’ gym which is rather close to your workplace.
You wait in the parking lot for a few minutes until you see the players starting to walk out the door.
You get out of the car and jog to your partner, who welcomes you with a warm and tight hug and a forehead kiss.
“I missed you, My Dear.”
“I missed you too.” You smile. “Let's go home.”
Both of you get in the car and after a while, Ushijima notices the envelope in the backseat.
“What’s that?”
“Oh, it’s just an exam I did.”
“Exam? What exam? Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“What’s the exam?”
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about, Hon.”
Wakatoshi reaches for the paper and opens it.
“You’re gonna be a father, Toshi.”
“Huh?”
“You’re gonna be a father.”
He reads the words carefully, then reads them again, and again, and again.
Silence fills the car ride, it also fills the elevator, the hall, and your apartment doorway.
Ushi doesn’t say a word the whole night. He takes his shower, plops onto your shared bed, and gets lost in his own thoughts.
Earlier you were giving him some time to process the information, now you’re just scared to talk to him.
Did he not want this kid? Was he disappointed? Sad? Angry?
For once you can’t read his expression. You thought you were familiar with every look and gesture of your husband, but the way he stares at the ceiling is a new gaze you’ve never seen before.
Hesitantly, you lay on the bed beside him. He doesn’t move an inch. You’re tired from work and worrying about what’s going to happen from now on, so you turn to your side and allow yourself to sleep.
You wake up the next day and are surprised to see that Wakatoshi is still in bed.
Usually, you would get up to see him making breakfast for both of you or returning home from his morning run, instead, he’s still laid on his back, snoring lightly.
You take a shower and head to the kitchen, the medium-sized envelope that seems to change the course of your relationship resting on the counter.
You make enough food for you and Ushijima and put his place in the microwave since it doesn’t seem like he’ll wake up anytime soon.
You replay last night's events over and over in your head, sadness taking over you when the moment is supposed to be of joy.
You thought he wanted this, you thought he wanted to have a family with you.
You also know that Wakatoshi is not the kind of man to run away from his responsibilities, he would most definitely help you raise this child, but would he continue to be by your side while at it?
You keep the little secret to yourself. You know your coworkers would love to know that you’re carrying a child, but after seeing the reaction of who you wanted to see the most, you lost all the will to tell the others.
As you expected, Wakatoshi doesn’t text or call you during the whole day, only fueling the tightening feeling inside your chest.
After overthinking the whole day you drive home exhausted, craving the warm water from your shower.
But there’s something odd when you pull up on your parking spot, your husband stands next to it as if waiting for you to arrive.
He walks up to the car, opens the driver's door, and offers his hand to you, helping you get out of it.
“Welcome home, Love.” He says as soon as you’re in front of him.
You can see his eyes are much more lively than they were last night, and his face is softened as he raises your hand to press his lips on the back of it.
“I prepared a bath for you, I know you must be tired.”
You try to contain your flustered smile from the way he looks at you. It reminds you of your wedding day when he cried as you walked to the altar.
You let him lead you upstairs to your apartment, always with one hand holding yours and the other in the small of your back.
He takes your bag from your hold and places it somewhere in the living room before guiding you to the restroom.
The bathtub exhales your favorite oil scent, there are a few candles lit up on the sink and the lights are turned off.
“Aw, Toshi, you didn’t have to.”
“But I wanted to. You deserve it.” He smiles. “Here, let me help you.”
Ushijima helps you- no, he undresses you completely, not letting you lift a finger for anything, then he takes off his own clothes and steps into the tub.
He takes your hands in his and starts to guide you to get in as if you were a five-year-old.
“There, Dear, be careful. I got you.”
“Honey. I’m not a kid, I can get in the bath just fine.” You deadpan.
Despise your protests, he still makes sure you enter it safely. He sits down and places you between his legs, back leaned on his chest.
You feel your shoulders relaxing under the water and throw your head back. Wakatoshi’s hands find their way to your stomach, slowly and softly caressing your skin.
“I love you, Y/n.”
“I love you too, Wakatoshi.”
“I can’t believe you have a tiny baby inside you.”
You smile widely and fondly, your frustrations and fears long gone by now. What happened was you miscalculated the amount of time your partner needed to process the information, there was no need to get worried like that, perhaps it was the pregnancy hormones already hitting you.
“Me neither.”
“You’re gonna look so gorgeous with the baby dump.”
“You think so? I’m gonna gain so much weight.”
“I know so, Love. Your weight doesn’t matter, you always look good, but caring our child will make you even more attractive.”
You turn your head to the side and pull him in for a kiss, a chaste, soft, and tender kiss.
“I’m gonna take a leave from work to take care of you.”
“Wait, hold on, there’s no need yet, I’m barely a month pregnant.”
“Yes, but the three first months are the most important ones and I want to make sure you and our baby are healthy.”
“I’m not letting you take a leave, Toshi, wait until I get on the seventh month or something.” You say assertively.
“Alright. We need to find a bigger place now. Maybe somewhere with a backyard for them to play, I can build them a house tree, or a castle if they prefer-“
“They? As in more than one?”
“Yes.”
“The first one didn’t even arrive yet and you’re thinking of another?”
“I don’t want them to feel lonely growing up. And we have conditions to support more than one child and a lot of love to give to them.”
“You’re right, but let’s focus on the first one for now, okay?”
“Uhm. Also, I asked my mother for doctor recommendations and I booked an appointment for us next week. And I took a look at the baby cribs online and some inspirations for room decoratio-“ “Honey,” You get him out of his thoughts. “we can think of the details later, can we just enjoy this moment right now?”
He chuckles and places a kiss on your temple.
“Of course, My Love.”
You place your hands on top of his, press your face on his neck and close your eyes, enjoying your husband’s safe embrace and the thought of him building a castle god your kids.
