Shining Stars

Chapter Eight: Aquamarines and Rubys

“Alright, let’s get down to business.”

Doctor Amamiya said as he sat in the examination room with the couple and the two adults.

“As a start, you should use an assumed name here at the Hospital.”

“Alright… at least that will keep anyone who recognizes me from leaking all of this out…”

Ai muttered as Doctor Amamiya tapped his pen on his clipboard.

“Though, in a case like yours, a cesarean section will likely be necessary… If one of the baby’s skulls are too large, it’s common for the pelvis to not open enough for someone with your build.”

“Hmm… really?”

Ai said as (Y/n) and Ichigo both looked concerned, one out of genuine worry and the other…

“A scar on her belly will spell trouble for her job…Doctor, are there any other options?”

Ichigo asked as Yui looked at the President of Strawberry Productions. Giving him a side eyed glare.

“You really only care about her job and your agency, huh?”

“There is painless delivery, sophrology… well…”

As Doctor Amamiya was able to continue, Ai cut him off, smiling. 

“Whatever’s fine. I feel super healthy!”

“Ai…”

“It’s okay! I can handle a natural delivery.”

As she said this, she grabbed ahold of (Y/n)’s hand and brought him close.

“Besides they’re our kids, right? I’m sure they’ll have cute, little faces!”

(Y/n) smiled as he leaned on his girlfriend’s shoulder.

“We may need to deal with your ego  before you give birth, Ai.

“Huh, what do you mean, (Y/n)?”

Yui looked at (Y/n) the pair standing in the middle of the Lobby. Their eyes looked.

“Are you sure you want to do this, (Y/n)?”

“I am… I found a small apartment with everything I need to last a few months, not to mention a part time job.”

Yui sighed as she looked back at her car, she expected to come here with two children and leave with one. Not leave with neither.

“I understand (Y/n)... I’m proud of you, do you know how many boys your age would work forty plus hours a week and spend that money to support their pregnant girlfriend..?”

She remembered those few months ago when she held Ai in her arms, as she bawled her eyes out. She walked towards her son and enveloped him in a hug.

“I’m so glad… you turned out this way. I am so very proud of you…”

(Y/n) held his mother in her grasp as she looked at him and turned to leave.

“Make sure to call me every so often. I want updates!”

She said as she exited the building, heading towards her car. (Y/n) turned back to look at Ichigo, who was busy getting something to drink from a vending machine.

“I will never… be like my father…”

He said a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Ai and (Y/n) were sitting in a  room with a Yoga instructor and another pregnant woman. All three sat on their mat, ready to begin a Yoga session. (Y/n) was slightly nervous, being the only male in the room, but Ai’s smile put him somewhat at ease.
