chapter 7:
love

The bump in my stomach has been starting to grow. It's small but it's still there, Torao smiled softly. He rubbed a lotion on my bare stomach, he said it was good for my skin.

"What should the name be?" I asked.

"You said before, you wanted the names Chopper and Otama correct?" He grinned.

"Yeah," I blushed, "I still do, but I want your opinion on it."

"Hm, maybe Momonosuke for a boy and Aisa for a girl." He shrugged and laid beside me.

"That sounds nice." I smiled.

"But I like your names better." He told me, "I think Chopper would be nice."

I giggled and rested my head on his shoulder.

I've been staying at his apartment for the past few weeks. It's been about three months since I've been pregnant. Just have to endure the next six months of nausea, stress, and stomach pains. It's going to be hard but it's worth it.

I haven't heard from Eustass, I didn't block his number or anything. It's scary though, he hasn't texted or called. I wonder what he is doing right now. It's been weeks since I ran away, he must be doing something. But maybe he just doesn't truly care though. Maybe he doesn't love me anymore.

"Are you okay?" Torao asked.

"Yeah I'm just a little anxious is all." I frowned.

He kissed my cheek, "It's okay, just think about the baby. Nothing else, if you want I can go out and get some food."

"No, no, it's fine. Let's just stay like this a little more." I smiled and slept next to him.

The days I've been spending at Torao's place have been peaceful though. I don't have to worry about being criticized for everything I do. Whenever I eat at Eustass' place he makes me eat salads, fruits, and vegetables to stay fit. He never buys any sweets unless he wants to apologize to me for hitting me or locking me inside a damn basement.

If there's a single sweet or candy in his sight he immediately throws it out.

Even if I'm just quietly watching TV Eustass says I'm being unproductive and I need to watch what I eat. Although it's not like I gain anything, no matter how much I eat I never gain that much weight. It's kind of a health concern for me. If I do eat a lot I just get bloated for a few minutes then it's gone. But according to Eustass, I'm "fat" and "lazy." He acts as if he doesn't drink beer every single day.

"So..." Torao paused, "What happened with your boyfriend?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, I'm sorry I don't mean to pry but I'd like to know." He softly said, "I want to help you."

"Eustass is..." I sighed, "Complicated."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"He went through a lot as a child and he takes these pills to help him. He has anger issues, trouble sleeping, and sometimes he can get... physical." I frowned.

"Did he hurt you?" Torao shot up.

"A few times," I scratched my neck, "But I swear I'm fine!"

"That's not okay Luffy-ya. You shouldn't be getting hurt just because he has problems." He told me.

"Like I said I'm fine Torao." I assured him, "But I'm just anxious because he hasn't called or texted me yet. Usually, he needs to know where ever I am at all times, but I feel like this time is different."
