"I'm going to miss you so much, honey." Your mother hugs you, careful not to hug the air out of you. She kisses your cheek before letting go. "Please tell me everything. Keep me updated about my grandbaby."

"I will, mom." You tell her. She waves at Satoru, who awkwardly waves back. You then look at your father who just stands by the doorway. Neither of you won't say anything first. So you turn around and begin to walk to Satoru's car. You hear your name which causes you to stop.

"Oh, honey." You turn around and your father's arms are wrapped around you. He's on the edge of tears. You hug him back. "I'm sorry, honey. Please take care. I love you."

"I love you too, dad." You respond, unsure of how else to react to this sudden affection. You're almost about to cry too– But you're emotional all the time nowadays. You doubt the emotional will stop until after you have your baby.

"Keep me updated, okay? I want to know everything about my grandbaby." He says, which almost makes a tear slip out, but you manage to keep it in. "And if you need something, even just a stupid craving, call me and I'll get it for you."

"Thank you, dad." You reply, and he lets go. Your father waves at Satoru, who waves back. You walk back to the car, a bit happier than before. Really much happier than before.

You get into the passenger seat with a smile on your face, and it's contagious because it makes Satoru smile as well.

You're packing up stuff the 12th week of your pregnancy. Ecstatic to finally begin the second trimester of your pregnancy. Hearing that your nausea will begin to settle is certainly something to be excited about.

Tomorrow you'll finally move into the apartment that Satoru is renting. A three-bedroom apartment, which you consider is way out of your price range. It has an amazing view of the city, which definitely raises questions as to what Satoru does.

"I told you to sit down and relax. I'll pack everything up." Satoru scolds you as he watches you put away some clothes. You're pregnant, not terminally ill. Any other time you would've happily sat down and let him do everything, but you're annoyed.

"Satoru-" You begin but he cuts you off. It's like he can read your mind.

"You should just be relaxing." He interrupts. Satoru is happier now more than ever with the small bump that's barely visible. "Nugget won't like that you're making them exercise so early on."

"Can we go out to eat?" You change the subject, hearing your stomach growl. "I'm craving some pizza."

"Pizza? Isn't that what we had for dinner last night?" Satoru questions and you furrow your eyebrows. How dare he question your craving? When he notices your face, he apologizes and is quick to suggest, "Do you want to go out? It's pretty cold. It's snowing too."

"I want to take a breath of fresh air." You answer. You walk to the bedroom to grab your purse, something bothering you in the back of your mind but you don't know what. "I feel like I'm forgetting something."

"Like what?" He asks. He knows what you're forgetting, but it's not a big deal so he won't tell you.

"I don't know... Today is December 7th... Kaya's birthday isn't this month. My parents' birthday isn't either..." You begin to think out loud as you walk back to Satoru. Satoru holds back a laugh, watching you get worked up over nothing. And he loves knowing that the reason you're getting worked up is because of him. Even though you don't consciously know it.

"It's probably nothing important." Satoru says, which immediately reminds you what it is. You walk over to him and wrap your arms around him, and he's quick to hug you back.
