"Evan! We need to leave now!" Hajime yelled as I walked out of the room. "None of my pants fit, I'm sick of wearing long skirts" I said as I walked into the kitchen. "You're pregnant, you didn't expect your clothes to fit forever right?" He asked as I sighed. "I guess not" I said as he kissed me. "I'm not sure how much longer we can hide this" he said as I nodded. I was 2 months along now and it was beginning to become obvious. "We should tell the team first" I said as Tooru nodded. "They'd be disappointed if we didn't" I said as I kissed him. "Seriously, we need to leave" Tooru said as I chuckled before we walked out the door. "Hey guys!" I said as we walked into the gym. "Good morning! Aren't you supposed to be out today?" Kuroo asked as he walked over to us. "We had some news we wanted to share" I said as the others nodded. "Hold on to your britches" Tooru whispered to Bokuto as he stood with the team. "As you know, I have been taking quite a few sick days lately" I stated.

"And the reason is because..." I said as I started to pull up my shirt to reveal my protruding stomach. "I'm pregnant!" I said as they all cheered and congratulated me and Hajime. "Tooru is going to be an uncle!" I said as the team started to congratulate him also. "How far along are you?" Kuroo asked. "About 2 months" I said as I rubbed my stomach. "Congratulations guys!" Shoyo said as he hugged us. "You'll make a great mom Ev" Tobio said as he hugged us. "We had a cute idea for the public announcement" I said as I grabbed a volleyball and handed it to Hajime. "Put this under your shirt" I said as he looked at me like I was stupid. "Please?" I asked as I gave him puppy dog eyes. "Fine" he said as he rolled his eyes before doing as he was told. We posed back to back cradling our "baby bumps" before the picture was taken. "Tooru you too" I said as he grabbed a ball and posed with us. "Perfect" I said as I looked at the photos. "These are adorable" I said as I started to tear up. "Damn hormones" I said softly.

Hajime and Tooru hugged my shoulders as I went up to my office. I was there maybe 5 minutes before Kuroo walked in. "How can I help you?" I asked him as I stood up. "You're really pregnant?" He asked as I nodded. "I am" I said as I placed a hand on my stomach. "You haven't been with Hajime that long, do you really think having a baby with him is a good idea?" He asked as I glared at him. "What I do with my life is none of your business. You can leave my office unless you have something work related to discuss with me" I said as he turned around and left the office. Hajime walked in a moment later. "What was that all about?" He asked as he walked in and wrapped his arms around me. "Just the audacity of some people" I said as I gave him a kiss. "People always seem to have a lot of it" Hajime said as I laughed. "God, I just went pee" I said as I made my way to the bathroom. "Baby already calling the shots?" Hajime asked as I nodded. This baby was already my boss.

"How is baby doing?" He asked as he placed his hand on my stomach. "Good, just sitting right on my bladder apparently" I said as he chuckled. "You have a drs appointment coming up right?" He asked as I nodded. "I almost forgot about it" I said as I looked at my calendar. "Thank God, we are already free that day so no one needs to take a half day" I said as Hajime nodded. "You look so beautiful carrying my baby" Hajime said as he cradled my stomach. "Our baby" Tooru corrected as he walked up to us. "Quiet, that's something I'm not quite ready for everyone to know" I said as he nodded. "My bad" he said as I gave him a quick hug. "It's fine, just be mindful of where we are" I said as he nodded. "You do look beautiful" he said as I smiled. "I'm glad you think so" I said as he nodded. "I know so" he stated as he went back to the gym. "I can't believe in 7 months I'll be a mom" I said as Hajime nodded. "You will be great" he said as he kissed me on my forehead.

"You want to catch lunch?" Hajime asked as he stuck his head in my office doorway. "The diner?" I asked as he nodded. "Where else would we eat?" He asked as I laughed. We arrived at the diner about 10 minutes later. "I saw the post! Congratulations!" Ma squealed as we walked through the door. "You are glowing" she stated as she pulled me in for a hug. "That's what everyone keeps telling me" I joked as she smiled. "And they're right" she added. "How many months are you?" Ma asked me. "2" I said as she smiled wildly. "Before you know it you'll be a Ma too" she said as I nodded. "I can't wait" I said as I cradled my stomach. She led us to a table in the corner and quickly took our order. "Your morning sickness seems to be subsiding" Hajime said as I nodded. "It comes and goes" I said as he nodded. Ma brought out our drinks. "Thank you" I said as I took a sip. "This is nice" I said as our food was brought out. As soon as I smelled the pickles on Hajime's burger I knew I had to have some.
