Baby Steps [Satoru Gojo]

↳ 𝙇𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩

Kaya and Satoru move boxes into the new apartment while you're ordered to sit in the corner of the room, not allowed to move a finger. You sit uncomfortably on the new white couch that Satoru insisted on buying. He completely ignored the fact that soon enough you'll be having a baby in the house.

You're falling asleep on the couch because the previous night you barely got any sleep. You were thinking of the worst. And you still are. But you can't possibly bring yourself to ask Satoru about it. You have to calmly ask him who Tsumiki and Megumi are, and not burst into tears while asking. The thought that the father of your baby might have another family that he doesn't care for breaks your heart though.

You're jumping to conclusions. Your brain looks for a million possible explanations as to who they are and what they want. But many of them don't seem possible. Only one that seems possible is your baby daddy having another family.

"Bed is set up, babes. You can go take a nap there." Kaya tells you when she walks out of the bedroom, ready to grab another box and unpack. You get up from the couch and walk to your new bedroom. It's all over the place, but that's not something you notice when you lay down on the bed. Maybe you'll actually be able to sleep if you're in an actual bed.

You shut your eyes, hoping that within seconds you'll be able to fall into deep slumber. However, minutes go by and you're still awake. You're so tired yet your thoughts won't let you fall asleep. It's horrible.

You feel a warmth cloth over your body, and you open your eyes a bit to look at the blanket that's thrown over you. You catch a glimpse of his white hair as he walks out of your room. A tiny smile appears on your lips, for a moment the thoughts and worries fade.

"Hey." You walk into the living room after sleeping for almost eight hours. That'll certainly mess up your sleep schedule. It's dark outside, and you're hungry, practically starving. But luckily enough Satoru is in the kitchen, putting some food together.

"Hey. How was your nap?" He asks but then he chuckles and corrects himself. "Not sure if it counts like a nap anymore."

"It was great. I know I'm going to sleep like a baby again." You respond. You're certainly not tired now but after dinner and a warm bath you'll be back to being tired. You look around the apartment and see that pretty much everything is organized and in its place. You'll have to text Kaya later to thank her.

"I made some curry. Made it mild since I don't know your spice tolerance." He informs you as he grabs a plate to serve the food. You walk to the dinner table and take a seat, and not a minute later the food is in front of you. At least you can say that Satoru treats you well even though you don't fully trust him.

"This looks good." You comment as you look at the plate in front of you. He hums in response, after all he did cook it and he won't bash his cooking skills. He passes you a pair of eating utensils and you begin to eat, not caring to wait for him since you're so hungry.

"Did you have a rough night last night?" Satoru asks as he fixes himself a plate. It just doesn't seem logical that the majority of your day was spent sleeping. Or perhaps it's the pregnancy– The man just lacks information about it all. "Was nugget giving you a rough time? You're almost in the second trimester which means that morning sickness should start to die down."

"Well I'm still in the first trimester, and sometimes the morning sickness doesn't die down. And no, I wasn't sick or anything, I just couldn't sleep." You answer before stuffing your mouth with food. You're so hungry and don't want to waste your time talking to Satoru. He takes a seat across from you at the table. It's weird to think that this will be the arrangement for almost every meal since Satoru's room is right across from yours.
