Hiiii! Hope all is well! This is going to be another time skip. Happy reading!😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been quite some months since Megumi and Naoki's birthday. Megumi's been coming around more. He's slowly rekindling his relationship with his father. He was deeply depressed and I kept my word. It took a while but he opened up to me and Hoshiyomi was there too. They all were actually. I'm glad he knows that he has a strong support system. Utahime and Gojo made it official. Everyone knows now. Shinosuke's been doing well. We fell out of love with each other. Both the coffee shop and Jujutsu High's been doing well too. I still visit both. Sometimes I take shifts at my coffee shop. Naoki's been walking. It's cute to see his tiny little legs running. After a long discussion between Toji and Megumi, I was relieved that they patched things over. I'm happy there's no more tension between the two. I've been exorcising curses but haven't retrieved the last two fingers yet. It makes me happy. I don't want to do it but I don't have a choice. I want Yuji to live for as long as he can. Gojo and Toji never patched it over. I didn't expect them to. At least when they cross paths, they're not trying to kill each other. They've taken quite a beating from me when they were trying to kill each other. I found out that when I don't have my contacts on, I can touch Gojo through his infinity. One day I was just really over it with them getting so violent. I've taken my contacts out during that time. When my fist connected to Gojo's face, he was in complete shock. Toji was already beaten up by me. It was the final straw when Gojo laid out his domain and Toji had a bloody sword. I completely lost it. I've never laid a hand on them but separated them before it escalated but this time it was far too deep. They weren't listening. Yuji caught them fighting. I completely lost it. After that, they vowed to stop trying to kill each other. I did heal them afterwards. Other than that, Toji's been really amazing. As a lover and a father towards Megumi and Naoki. Gojo's students became second years and new first years came along. He sold his home and we bought my dream home with a pool. I've been teaching Naoki how to swim. He's really good at it now. I was working a shift at my coffee shop. It was good to see my regulars still come. I poured coffee. Not long afterwards, we closed up shop. We left. Toji got out of the car. He likes to pick me up after work. Naoki was with Shinosuke and Niseko. He walked up to me and pulled me close. "How was work?" He asked before kissing me. "I'm surprised this place is still busy after I abandoned it." "You didn't abandon it. You just have a lot on your plate." My vision got blurry. "Hey hey are you okay?" I nodded. Everything went black. I woke up in our bedroom. Toji was standing over me. He hugged me. "You're alright! I thought I lost you." "I passed out again, didn't I?" "Yes. I'm taking you to the hospital. We need to know what's wrong with you before it's too late." "There's nothing wrong with me. Well there is but I'm not dying." "You're burning up." "I overworked myself today." "Why are you running a fever? You're sick aren't you? Dammit!" He got up. "This can't be happening again. I can't lose you too!" He punched the wall. I jumped out of bed. "Whoa whoa slow down! I'm not dying!" I stumbled and he caught me. "Then what's wrong?" "I didn't know how to tell you but..." "But?" "There's another Zen'in on the way." "Another Zen'in-you're pregnant?!" I nodded. "Toji lifted me up and spun me. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Well because Naoki's only one and you're still working it out with Megumi. You were so busy I wanted to announce it over dinner or something." "I don't need a special occasion. We're going to be parents of our own?!" I nodded. "Yes!" He hugged me tightly. "You're squeezing me!" "Sorry. I'm just so happy. I wouldn't want anyone else to carry my child. I love you so much Y/N." Toji have me a long kiss. He dropped down in front of me. He lifted my shirt. "I'm not showing yet."
"I don't care. Baby Zen'in. I can't wait to meet you. I promise to take care of you and your mother. You have two older brothers and I cannot wait until they meet you. Be safe in there." He kissed my stomach as I stroked his hair. "Do you need anything? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" "I'm fine I'm fine. I just need to sit down." Toji lifted me up and placed me in bed. "Who else knows?" "Only Ieri. No one else. Not even Shinosuke." Toji climbed in bed and hovered over me. He placed his hand on my stomach. "How far along are you?" His voice was low. "Three months." "When did you find out?" "Last month." Toji placed me in his lap. "I wish you told me when you found out." "I wanted to surprise you. But I didn't expect to be passing out." "Maybe your jobs are stressing you out. You need to rest." He mumbled as he kissed my neck. "Toji..." I trailed off. I started wrenching. "Shit!" I got up and ran to the bathroom. I started vomiting. "I'll make you some soup." "Get outta here!" I yelled and vomited. I felt as Toji was rubbing my back as he held my hair. "I'm never leaving your side." "Right now would be best to leave. If-" I was cut off by more vomit. I grabbed some tissue and wiped my mouth. I flushed the toilet and washed my hands. I brushed my teeth, my tongue and used mouthwash. "Get back in bed. I'll make your soup." I nodded and got in bed. I turned the tv on. My phone started ringing. It was Shinosuke. "Are you psychic?" I asked. "No. I'm just checking up on you." "Well I'm pregnant." "Wait for real?!" I nodded. "Yes." "Does he know?" "Yes. I just told him." "He better marry you." I laughed. "I actually was hoping to be married first but other plans happened. But right now I don't want him to propose just because I'm carrying his child." "He still better marry you. Wait does Megumi know?" "No not yet. Only Ieri, Toji and you know." "Tell him! I'm so happy for you, I really am. You've come a long way. Especially from when you killed your abusive clan. I'm proud of you Y/N." "Thank you. I'm proud of you too. I told you someone will love you. Honestly you're too good for this world. But if she hurts you, I'll beat her ass. And if you hurt her, I'll beat your ass. I like her a lot. So I better hear the title "Mrs. Shigarashi from her." He chuckled. "She is special, isn't she? Don't worry you'll hear that from her. I love her so much. Anyway I better get going. Get as much rest as you can. Take a break from work." "I will." "I know you Takahashi. I mean it." "I'm not making any promises but I'll try. Talk to you later." I said before hanging up. "You're going back to work after our baby is born." "How long we're you standing there?" "Long enough to know that he's right about everything." Toji placed the tray in front of me. He kissed the top of my head. "There's no way I'm going to be out of work for that long." I said as I ate. "Your store manager is an excellent employee. Gojo has everything handled at Jujutsu High. Why do you need to go back?" I sighed. "Because that's what kept me going. Running that coffee shop was how I coped after escaping my plan. I created as my safe haven. And taking over Jujutsu High also kept me busy. I see them all as my family and I look out for each and every one of them. It's my job to take care of them." "They'll manage. They're still your family but you have your own personal family now. It's time for me to take care of you. You need to take it easy. I'll check on your companies if it makes you feel better. But don't overdo it. It won't be good for you or the baby. You have a son who loves you, another baby on the way and a husband who loves you. You're not the same person when we first met. You're not alone anymore. You don't have to worry about taking care of everyone. And just know you have people who will take care of you." Toji replied. "I'm just scared okay?" I confessed. I finished eating and moved the tray. "Scared of what?" "I never really moved on from my past. It was out of force and not genuine. I've been working day and night to prevent nightmares. What if they come back? I'm extremely vulnerable right now." He grabbed my hand. I looked at him. "We can work through it. Together. If the nightmares come back, just know that I am here. I'm never leaving your side. Not now, not ever. I've learned my lesson from my past mistakes. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you happy and healthy even if it kills me." He held my face in his hands. "We'll get through everything. Together. You're not alone anymore. I'm your security and safety blanket." I nodded as he kissed my forehead. He connected his lips to mine. His thumb wiped my tears. I didn't realize that I was crying. He wrapped me in his arms. Fushiguro was right. I'm not alone anymore. I'm surrounded by a family who loves me. My nephew, my son, my best friend, him and our unborn child. "Don't even think about exercising curses. I'll arrange to have Jujutsu Sorcerers to come by and make sure this area is safe." He announced, snapping me out of my thoughts. "And I'll ask for Itadori to hold off on eating anymore cursed fingers. I'm serious. You're retiring from everything until further notice. Yes, I'm being selfish. Now get some sleep." He grabbed the tray and left out. I got under the blanket.
