Where is my Love ? (Eng. {KawaSumi})

🥀Chapter 40🥀

Author Pov

In the first trimester, sumire was very much plagued by discomfort. Kawaki filled in on his days off and on the days when he had to work, Hinata was there with himawari or Sakura with sarada and Eida. Even though Sumire tried her best, she could hardly manage anything. Sometimes sumire was so exhausted that Kawaki helped her take a shower.

Sumire was much better in the second term, but she still got enough support from Tsuki, Kawaki, Himawari, Hinata, Sakura and her friends. Sumire managed her work again in the second trimester and was able to manage the household again, only some things became much more difficult with a bigger belly.

- at 7 months

In the meantime, sumire was 7 months pregnant, the examinations all went well and there were no dangers or complications. She is also feeling better, the complaints from the first trimester have fortunately disappeared. In the second trimester she was also back at work, whether at work or at home. Nevertheless, a few things changed: she now sat at the table to cut or peel, as she could no longer stand for too long. I or my mum did the cleaning. Our friends helped us by doing the shopping for us.

Sumire often refused my help, but after her attempts failed, she came to me very shyly and asked me for help. Sumire is a woman who is afraid to ask for help or give up control, which can be traced back to her past. She tells me every time I help her that she's sorry, but I don't think it's bad, she should just get used to it.
But after the first few times, she finally gave in. Now she trusted me completely, and I was very grateful for that.

At the moment, Tsuki and I were just fetching something. I didn't want to leave sumire alone for long and we hurried, we wanted to get back to sumire as quickly as possible.

Kawaki is currently in the village with Tsuki picking something up for me. I was feeling a bit worse again today, so I went to bed . I couldn't fall asleep so quickly because my thoughts were bothering me again. I was afraid of the birth, which would probably be very painful and then two in a row.

But luckily I was able to rely completely on kawaki, even if there were difficulties at first. To be honest, I'm still ashamed that I didn't accept Kawaki's help straight away. I love this man and trust him with my life, but because of my past and general experiences, I'm afraid to give up control of myself. But with kawaki's patience, understanding and love, we managed to work it out. Now I even ask if he can do anything for me or help me. It's a great relief to have overcome this hurdle with him.

A few minutes passed and I was finally able to fall asleep, lying on my back as it is otherwise very uncomfortable.
But at some point a penetrating odour woke me up, I opened my eyes, got up and went to the door.
When I opened it, there was so much smoke and I could see our flat was on fire. I tried to breathe as little as possible and went to the front door, but I didn't make it that far. I braced myself against the furniture, but I felt so dizzy and blacked out. I lost consciousness and collapsed.

Tsuki and I were on our way back and saw smoke coming from a building in the distance, the closer we got the more I realised it was our flat. I put Tsuki on a bench and ran off. When I got to our floor, I shouted for sumire, but nothing came.

"Sumire!!!"

I unlocked the door and saw sumire by the wardrobe, I quickly got her out and called the fire brigade. While they put out the fire, I took Sumire to the hospital with Tsuki. Sumire was torn from my arms and taken away, I felt this terrible fear, just like back in the Iron Kingdom, that it could devour me on the spot. I sat Tsuki down in the waiting room and calmed him down, he was completely distraught.
