The Life of a Pregnant Teenager (MHA Iidashin Story)

Accepting It (Chapter 4)

Hitoshi POV

  I wake up feeling nauseated, I look around confused for a second before remembering I went home instead of back to the dorms yesterday. My thoughts were interrupted when I was hit with another wave of nausea so I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom in my room before throwing up. I didn't throw up as much as I usually did so there was a plus side, I went and change clothes, I was about to leave my bedroom when I caught my own reflection. I slightly lifted my shirt to see my stomach and I couldn't help but stare at the small baby bump forming, I smiled and rested my hand on my stomach. I pulled my shirt down before exiting my room, I made my way downstairs seeing Eri and Pop also known as Oboro. "Morning," I greeted them the smile never leaving my face, "Good morning Toshi, I didn't realize you were still here," Pop greeted. "Yeah, I decided to stay home for the day," I say sitting next to Eri at the kitchen table, who smiled brightly at me. "Hi Toshi," she greeted me with a bright smile, I smiled at her "Hi Eri," I greeted her, rubbing her head, Pop lays a plate of food in front of me and then in front of Eri before in front of himself. I thanked him before starting to eat, I ate every bite which was a surprise to everyone, I didn't eat much especially breakfast but I was just hungry and craving Pop's food. I get up, give Eri a kiss on the head, and then Pop a hug before leaving to put on my shoes, I get my shoes on with a little struggle before leaving.

  I leave the house and began walking, I wasn't sure where I was going I just felt like walking, I pulled out my phone seeing it was almost 11. I then take out my earbuds from my pocket and put them in, listening to music while I walk. I came across a small baby store, my curiosity got to me and I wandered into the store, taking my earbuds out. I put my hood up as I walked in and began looking at the stuff they had, my hands trailed across the baby cribs, the strollers, the car seats, the bassinets, and baby clothes. I was going to need all this stuff, Tenya and I weren't married neither did we live together, we might need to double the amount of stuff, that is if Tenya accepts this. I cooed at the cute baby clothes and how small the clothes were, the little dresses, the little suits, the little shoes, and then little hats, it was all too cute.

  I spent hours looking at all the cute baby stuff, the whole baby thing was definitely growing on me. I cooed at all the stuff they had, so much stuff to choose from, I did have a few insecurities and a few moments where I panicked about all this but then I remember how many people would have my back, who would all take care of me, who be there by my side. I decided I'd been here for long enough and decided to leave but before I could I bumped into an older lady. "Oh, I'm so sorry," I quickly apologized before trying to leave again "Oh, you're so rude, bumping into me," she says angrily stopping me from leaving. "I really am sorry," I apologized again trying to leave "Oh gosh you're so young, all you teenagers only care about one thing and that's sex, now look at you, you got your girlfriend pregnant," she scoffs. "That's not true, there are a lot of priorities we teenagers have before it comes to sex, just like you adults we decide to take a step further in our relationship not for lust but to test loyalty," I defended "your girlfriend must be ashamed to be in love with someone like you," she scoffs. "If I had a girlfriend I think she would be honored that I'm taking time to accept her pregnancy and willing to be there but I don't have a girlfriend the one who is pregnant is, in fact, me," I continued to defend "Ugh, a guy pregnant, that's so disgusting I wish people like you would just burn," she says in disgust. "I don't know what you have against me and others like but I have done nothing to you, I am a human and I am doing what a woman can do, I'm bringing a life into the world the next generation of our time, there is no difference between what I am doing and what a stereotypical woman do, the only difference is I have different body parts and I don't fit your stereotype couple, now please mind your business," I say angrily before leaving.

  I walk down the street frustrated and irritated, the woman really made me angry all because I was pregnant and wasn't a female. People like that really irritated me, I walked to the park and sat down on a bench, I close my eyes and took a deep breath while enjoying the breeze. It's only opinions, it doesn't define me as a person, they can think what want but it doesn't change who I am. I open my eyes to the sound of children's laughter and I smile at the sight of families playing together at the park, I looked around at the sight. Families all around were either having a picnic together, playing on the playground, playing tag in the field or another game, or playing some kind of sport. All I saw were families but when I looked closer at them, there were a variety of families, lesbian families, gay families, straight families, adopted families, and more. The sight made me smile, this was the world I saw, this was the world I want my child in, not the world of villains, evil, one kind of family, limitations, and pain. I wanted the best life for my baby, I would do anything to make sure of that, anything for my child, I take a deep breath before getting up and leaving.

  I arrived home an hour after leaving the park, it was dusky dark but wasn't too late, Pop and Papa were in the kitchen talking. Eri was nowhere in sight, I close the door quietly behind me, the door and I were out of sight so I listened quietly to them talk. "He has been so distant lately, he's been sneaking off from the dorms without a word, and then wonder back up hours later, we need to have a talk with him," Papa says frustrated. "I know you're worried but maybe you're overreacting, we can discuss this with Shota later, he's a teenager he's acting out right now," Pop says "I'm just so worried, what if he's doing something wrong, what if he's hanging out with the wrong crowd and that's why he has been so sick lately," Papa says. I decided not to stay and hear the rest of the conversation, I didn't like where it was going and it was very upsetting, I quietly went upstairs and grabbed some of my stuff before leaving again to go to the dorms. I arrived at the dorms and went to my dorm room, I changed into comfortable clothes before I went to lie down I went to the bathroom mirror. I lifted my shirt and looked at my baby bump, I smiled softly and rested my hand on my stomach 'My baby is growing in there,' I thought to myself. I leave the bathroom and lay on my bed, I looked at my revealing stomach and rested my hand on it, smiling softly 'That's my baby,' I thought to myself before falling asleep.
