How To Create A Demigod (Yatori fanfic)

Upon Return

"We're back!"

Yukine turns around at the table and sets down the book he's reading. He rolls his eyes with a grumpy look at Yato, but smiles at me. I smile back, and Yato grabs my hand.

He whispers in my ear. "When do we tell him? Or our friends for that matter?"

I look away and shrug. I started making a list of what foods bother my senses of smell, taste, and sight. So far coffee, ketchup, and I think salmon from the sushi. It makes me sad because I usually love sushi, but lately it's best to avoid it. And that angers me. My appetite has increased, as well as my mood swings. I don't mean anything, but it's too hard to explain.

As I wave off my boys so I can go to the bathroom, I take my phone with me for a call as well. I lock the door and stare into the mirror over the sink. My face looks normal, and then I start examining my body. I stare dumbfounded as I realize my abdomen has increased a few inches since last time I checked. I don't want to say I've gained weight, but this baby might as well do anything it wants with me. I feel like a vessel for a demigod.

I sigh and pull out my phone. I call one of my favorite numbers, and she surprisingly answers after a couple rings.

"Hello?"

I clear my throat.

"Hi Mom," I reply.

"Hiyori! Hi honey! How's your life? How was your honeymoon?"

"It was good. The house was really pretty. Thanks. And I'm doing okay for now. Probably," I say shyly.

"You want to talk about something?"

I think about what I want to say to her.

"I-I just want to make an appointment. That's all," I tell her. I don't mention the pregnancy test being positive. Better for the professionals to diagnose me.

"At the hospital? Of course! When are you available?"

"Whenever," I say.

The line is silent for a mere minute before her voice pops back on reassuring my nerves.

"We have an opening tomorrow? Tomorrow afternoon at three. Is that okay Hiyori?"

I sigh relieved. "Perfect," I say. "You mind if I bring Yato too?"

"No, no! It's fine!"

I smile. "Okay thanks Mom. I love you,"

"I love you too,"

"Bye," I say.

"Bye,"

It's silent for a moment before I hear Yato and Yukine's voice. They sound like they're horse playing.

I open the door a crack.

"Yato! Come here!" I yell across the room.

I see him toss Yukine's book across the room, which he defensively catches. With a huff he walks away.

"Yeah, what's up?"

I look him in the eye and raise an eyebrow.

"First, we have an appointment tomorrow at three at my family's hospital for 'you know who'."

He nods and smiles.

"Second, I'm taking a bath. So don't do anything behind my back. Got it?" I tell him with a smirk.

"Okay," he tells me. He sounds like when a little kid gets disappointed and whines. It's cute though.

I close the door again and run a hot bath. I remove my clothes and look in the mirror a second time. My body has more definition in it. I can see all the difference from head to toe now.

I glance away and refocus on the bath. I dip into the water and sink down. This feels better than the bath I had in New Zealand. I feel relieved and free. I felt tied and wound up. Tense even. Now I relax with zero cares.

My hands travel down to my stomach and I feel the sore area below it and the pain on the top. My fingers move along the sides where the weight gain is and where the fetus would be. It feels so weird. So different.

I've been throwing up a lot lately, and that's why my stomach hurts. But the lower region hurts more due to the excessive force he uses on me in bed. I would have never thought that it would hurt so bad. I've been feeling immense euphoria during our sessions. And later it would hurt like hell.

I sit in the bath and ponder for a while; just thinking adult things. By the time I'm done, I get out and get dressed. I want to tell him today. And tell the rest tomorrow.

My phone rings louder than I expected, sending me back into reality.

"H-Hello?" I ask.

"Hiyori? Hi again! Sorry to bother you, but we have an opening tomorrow at eleven if you'd rather take that one,"

I sigh relieved it's just my mom. "Yeah we'll take it," I answer back.

"Great! I'll see you two there!"

I say bye and end the call. Then I text all of our friends asking them to meet us at a cafe in the city around one tomorrow. After a few minutes, I add that it's important. Not like dying urgent, but like we have something to do important. Which is on the truth side.

Most of them reply back saying stuff like; 'Oh my gosh what is it?!' or even; 'Are you hurt, sick, dying?!'

I face palm. I send a reassurance message, which is later received, and later satisfies their nerves. Then I start laughing.

I go to the door, and enter the hallway. I walk into the living room area and see Yukine writing and Yato watching TV. I sit next to them on the couch, and nudge Yato.

"Hm?"

I whisper in his ear. "When do you want to tell Yukine about it?"

He looks away to think. When his crystal blue eyes revert back to me, he chuckles.

"Now I guess. So he knows about tomorrow."

I nod and look next to me at Yukine. He seems to have calmed down and is content with this lifestyle.

"Hey Yukine?" I start.

His gold eyes look up and he stares. "Yeah?"

I clear my throat and remove all nausea from my stomach.

"We have something we'd like to tell you,"

He looks again with a weird look.

Yato comes up behind me and I touch my growing stomach. His eyes grow wide with a stunned expression.

"You're going to be a big brother,"
