[9/15]

» Pregnancy is a kind of miracle. Especially so in that it proves that a man and woman can conspire to force God to create a new soul.


"Hey, Rin." [Name] looked at Rin, who was sitting with his arm around her shoulders as they both watched a movie together. He looked at her, an eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"Yes?"

"I don't want to alarm you or anything, but... I think my waters just broke."

"What?" Without a single question or second glance at [Name], Rin was on his feet and rushing to the bedroom to fetch [Name]'s night bag, and all the equipment he'd so lovingly been preparing for the last week.

"I told you!" he exclaimed, making his way back to the living room where a slowly breathing [Name] had her hand over her belly. "Ne, didn't I say you could never be too sure? "It's due next week," you said. "You're overreacting," you said. Huh?! Huh?!"

"Yeah, yeah," said [Name], rolling her eyes as Rin grabbed the car keys and slung the bag over his shoulder, making his way over to help [Name] up. "I don't feel any contractions yet, so don't worry. But seriously, get me to the bathroom. I feel saturated now, everything's gushing out."

Rin was amazed at how cool and collected [Name] was as he helped her to her feet, and watched her waddle away down the hallway, noticing the giant wet stain that adorned the back of her clothes. Ten minutes later she was back, after changing her pants and putting on a pad to help reduce the chances of her getting wet again.

"Okay, let's go?" Jerking her head towards the front door, [Name] began tottering out, indicating for Rin to follow her with the bag and car keys. He merely looked aghast as she walked out, jaw dropped at her complete calm. However, he didn't know that on the inside, [Name] was trying to calm down her terribly frantic nerves, closing her eyes and taking long, deep breaths as she toddled to the car.

You'll be fine, you'll be fine, she tried to reassure herself, reaching the car and standing by the back doors. Rin finished locking up the house and ran to the car, opening it up and helping [Name] in. 

"Wait! Sit on this!" When [Name] was comfortably seated in the back seat on a towel, Rin looked down at her before closing the door.

"It's happening," he said in a quiet, but anxious, voice. "Oh god, it's happening." [Name] offered him a small smile and struggled to wrap the seat belt around herself and her large belly, finally managing to click it into place.

"It's happening," she said, smiling brightly at Rin. After blinking the shock away, Rin leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on [Name]'s lips, reassuring her. As he straightened up, he reached out and squeezed her hand affectionately, a beam beginning to spread across his face.

"It's happening. We're going to be parents, [Name]. Parents."
