On Love: Agape!!!

Chapter 9.5

Hello, everyone! I'm really sorry for all the emotionally heavy Yurio chapters! So I decided to a bit of a filler chapter to jump the gap between Yurio and Yuro's perspectives that would include all 4 of my current Agape relationships(Yurio and Yuuko, Viktor and Yurio, Yuri and the baby, and Viktor and the baby) Thanks for reading bye!

After telling Yuuko about the horror he went through with his biological mother and knowing she also felt a Mom-son connection between the two of them, made him feel like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

So for the next week, Yurio took all of the terrible images of his biological mother And replaced them with pictures of Yuuko. Whenever he would see her, he would mentally call her Okaasan, which meant Mom in Japanese. He couldn't explain, but somehow it felt more correct to call Yuuko than then Mom, even though they meant the exact same thing. But he even said the word Okaasan out loud a few times, only very softly, and when he couldn't think anyone could hear him. It was the only Japanese word that seemed to feel natural on his tongue.

The week after, when Yuri was 10 weeks pregnant, when it was just Yurio and Yuuko in the rink, he called her Okaasan for the first time. She, of course, teared up, After all, she knew could only imagine the terrible connotation her son must have with those kinds of words. But against all odds, he was healing, and she got to help him. Ever since she had first seen him, she knew that there was something special about Yurio, that he was going to play some significant role in her life. They only referred to each other as Okaasan and Yurochka in private for that one week.

The next week, Yurio felt comfortable enough to finally call Yuuko Okaasan in front of other people. The first time was as Viktor and Yurio were walking into Ice castle for practice, and Yurio greeted Yuuko with a "Hey Okaasan.", to which she responded "Hi Yurochka!". In Yurio's eyes, it wasn't anything sappy or complex, just natural. Viktor didn't really react much beyond by raising his eyebrow in a questionable manner, and when Yurio gave him a death glare, didn't comment further. When Viktor told now 11 weeks pregnant Yuri about the encounter, he responded with "It makes sense, I mean they have gotten pretty close. Is there a problem?" And Viktor replied back "No problem, just a little sudden."
"I'm just glad he's finally happy. Ever since that day at the arcade he's loosened up a lot" Yuri stated, yawning.
"You need to get to bed, little piggy. We have a big day tomorrow."
"I know. Going to sleep right now." Yuri giggled, and lied down on their bed. Viktor followed suit, and the couple easily went to sleep, knowing that now they weren't the only ones who were with a new child.
