"NAO! COULD YOU PLEASE STOP RUNNING?" you begged your daughter as she continued to run around the basement. you felt squirming in your right arm, your son, jojiro, waking up with his thumb in his mouth, you began to rock him hoping he's fall back asleep, unfortunately, he started to cry.
you groan, and turn to your eldest son, who chose to play video games instead of helping you. "yu! get off the game now." you demanded, he quickly shut it off, approaching you afterwards. "why thank you for bothering to help me! can you tell your sister to stop running? and warm up a bottle for takajo?" you asks.
he nods, and you sigh of relief, sitting down on the couch as jojiro finally fell asleep once again. "a certain someone told me you were a bit stressed?" you heard a familiar voice speak, tears well in your eyes as you see your husband in the doorway, walking towards you. "why're you crying, baby?" he asks concerned.
"it's these stupid pregnancy hormones! i'm just glad you're here-the kids were giving me a hard time today." you smile as he wipes the tears from your face, "fortunately, we'll have to deal with all of them for a little over ten years." he says, and you nod. "i'd never trade the world for them, they're a pain in the ass, but i love them."
you both chuckle and he takes jojiro, upstairs to his room, placing him in his crib. "nao, you also need to take a nap." you say, holding out your hand for the girl, she nods with tired eyes, you pick her up letting her rest on your shoulder until you lay her down in her bed, quickly falling asleep. "success."
"they're both asleep?" yu asks, "yup, thank you for your help, sorry i snapped earlier-i was just stressed." you ruffle his hair, bringing him into a hug. "i know mom, and i'm sorry for dismissing it and not helping you right away-they are my siblings." he embraces you tighter, making you smile.
"it's okay, honey. you can go play your game now, i'll even take you shopping tomorrow, how does that sound?" his eyes light up and he nods, you chuckle leaving the basement. "god i love those kids to death." you spoke closing the door to the room, you and testurou shared. "i'd be concerning if you didn't."
he turns to you and your eyes widen. his black hair was slicked back as usual and he wore black glasses, with black sweatpants. you wrap your arms around his neck, kissing his cheek. "if i wasn't in my third trimester, i'd ask you to do more than take a nap right now." you whispered teasingly.
"you say this, while every time we find out you're pregnant you're blaming me!" he chuckles, "mhmm, c'mon. i'm tired and you know i can only fall asleep if you're with me." you got into the king sized bed, feeling him come in shortly after you. "can you believe we could have our forth any minute?" he asks.
"i know, i'm not ready-but i can wait to meet her." you ran your thumb over the pendant you gifted him two years ago, "i know what you're thinking right now, y/n. you're not going to be a horrible mother, you've managed to keep up with all three of them now, what makes you think you can't handle one more?"
"jojiro's only two years old, they're basically twins! and with your work schedule and yu's break ending soon i won't have many helping hands around here." you let out a shaky breath, "and i figured you were going to need some help, so-i took some time off but also, viv and miya should be here tomorrow morning."
your eyes began to water and you mentally cursed the stupid side effects of pregnancy for making you so emotional, you hug him tightly, as tears stream down your cheeks. "i'm so grateful to have you, i truly couldn't ask for a better husband." you mumbled, "and i couldn't ask for a better wife."
