How To Create A Demigod (Yatori fanfic)

Ungodly Pressure

It wasn't until we were brought to the ultrasound room when I began to panic.

I kept telling myself I was fine, and I squeezed Yato's hand for reassurance, but I still couldn't calm my quivering nerves. I felt like my insides were in knots and my head was spinning. My parents suggested I sit down for a moment, and once I did so, the dizziness I was feeling suddenly loosened its bond on me.

I eventually laid on the bed, and watched as the lights turned off and the machine flickered to life. I saw a fuzzy dark screen appear before me, and my mother helped situate me. I was instructed to lift my shirt, and upon pulling it up, I noticed several stretch marks insinuating the fact I had gained an indecent amount of weight in the last month or so. I felt ashamed and embarrassed for that, but knowing I was carrying a light inside me that Yato and I created, I focused myself on the positive reason behind them.

My father took a small tube of blueish clear gel, and applied it onto my lower stomach. I flinched at the temperature of the gel. He then gloved his hand and proceeded to smear the gel all over my stomach. He took a small scanning device and maneuvered it upon my growing bulge; scanning it. The sensation was weird, I will admit, but I stopped when the grip on Yato's hand suddenly tightened.

I peered up at my husband to see his blue eyes fixated on the screen behind me. My heart slowed and my body froze when I heard the most beautiful and peculiar sound. A heartbeat. A random chill perked up my spine. I immediately turned to see what Yato was mesmerized with. What I saw gave me tears and a reason to cry.

"Y-Yori look," Yato instructed.

I too was staring at the screen.

"Yato, that's-"

"Our baby," he finished.

I understood why his grip tightened. I squeezed his hand, and his face fell to mine. We both started to cry and he kissed my nose then forehead. We began laughing to distract ourselves from the tears of joy pouring down our faces.

My parents were doing the same thing and my father turned away from my ecstatic mother to address the situation.

"You're definitely pregnant. And I'd say almost two months in too,"

I smiled and Yato and I exchanged a look. He was blushing and took a hand to my stomach.

"It's really amazing," he said. "We made this. And its already alive and has a beating heart."

I giggled and looked up to him. We locked eyes. Our foreheads met and we laughed and cried together.

My mother was pleased and excited to know she was getting a grandchild, while my father was happy that I was happy. And a baby excited everyone who currently knows.

After that, we safely made our way back outside and into the spring weather. The sakuras' burst with life and petals rained down upon the streets. One fell on Yato's head, and as I tried to pull it off, he took the opportunity to sweep me up and kiss me. In the parking lot too.

He eventually broke the kiss and smiled at me with his cheesy grin. He assisted me to the car, and we got back on the road again. We made our way to Bishamon's shrine where everyone was waiting for us. Yukine was already there, and all we had to do was arrive with our news of fortune. I feel blessed. And the god I pray to and love has certainly granted my wish.

It takes a bit longer to get there due to traffic and such, and this time Yato is too happy to get worked up over something so petty and irritating like busy intersections and roads.

He eventually turns the corner, and I see life bloom all around me. It's beautiful here. And we're privileged and honored to live here alongside them.

I return to looking at the scenery as he pulls up. He helps me out the car, and we approach the busy mansion. We're directed to the back where we see the gazebo, greenhouse, and patio where everyone is seated.

As we turn the pillar, we see Yukine jump up and run to us. He's careful to not alarm me or hurt us, but man does he about knock Yato out. I laugh and end up dragging my husband across their lawn despite my condition.

I wipe my forehead off after pulling him along, and take a seat next to him. He and Yukine mumble incoherent phrases back and forth to each other as they battle their little quarrel out. I tap both their shoulders as each one sits on a different side of me, and they eventually sigh and give up knowing it's childish and trivial right now.

I look across the table at Bishamon and her many regalias. They all look so perfect and peaceful, until I stare around the large table fully examining it. Everyone is here. I see the infamous god of poverty kicked back relaxing as she drinks her tea. Our little makeshift friend/family is what really makes me happy. Even though we're different and have had issues regarding past events, they're all still able to move on and create a better future.

My hands instinctively reach for my stomach and cradle the baby inside. I look down at it and smile.

I'm aware Bishamon already knows that we were planning to have a baby, and she sips her tea quietly. The silence becomes unsettling. It becomes deafening. My anxiety works its way up and around as my eyes flicker everywhere observing everybody's current action and expressions. I soon find nothing to worry about. Until Yukine coughs gesturing we have to speak up.

I can't bring myself to speak, and so Yato takes the initiative.

He clears his throat and grabs everyone's attention.

"Hey, um, I have an announcement to make."

He stands up raising his glass and gestures for me to stand as well.

Everyone immediately notices my stomach and wait for us to explain.

"Hiyori and I are expecting." he says.

"I'm pregnant!" I say happily and giddy.

Their jaws drop. And all I hear and see is Kofuku spitting her drink out everywhere.
