Episode Eight

I noticed it was a beautiful day as I walked to school. If I was a girly-girly, I would've skipped. I was almost there when I saw Yankumi.

"Yankumi," I ran up to her.

She looked up from the book she was reading, "Saitou, you're in a happy mood."

"Well it's a beautiful day," as we walked, I noticed she was carrying a bag, "that's not a bunch of math papers, is it?"

She smiled, "no, it's just baby stuff."

"Oh baby stuff...eh?! Baby stuff?! Yankumi, are you..."

She laughed, "no, it's for a former student of mine."

I sighed, "I was about to say."

Suddenly she tripped making everything from the bag fall out. I knelt down and helped her.

"Thank you Saitou."

As I placed the items in the bag, I felt like we were being watched. I looked behind us, but no one was there. I shook the feeling off and turned back to Yankumi.

"Man, Yankumi. Did you buy the whole store," I joked.

"No, but they might need the whole store. Taking care of a baby is a lot of work," we stood up, "you'll know what I mean when you have a baby."

I blushed thinking of little Yamatos running around. I shook my head.

"Hey, Yankumi let me carry that," I grabbed the bag, "that way if you fall, we won't have to pick it up again."

"Good idea."

We walked to school. I went with her to the office because I needed to get a new school jacket. When we entered, the teachers were acting really strange. Of course, Yankumi didn't notice.

"Ohayou," Yankumi said as she entered, "Head teacher, Saitou needs a new jacket. Do you have an extra?"

"Hai. Look in that closet."

I went over to the closet and got one of the smaller jackets. As I put it on, Sakura-san pushed Sawatari in Yankumi's direction.

"Is something wrong," she asked.

"Um..."

Yankumi looked at Baba-sensei who was sitting on the ground looking depressed, "what's wrong Baba-sensei? You look like your life is over."

He sniffed, "of course my life is over."

"Huh?"

"Yamaguchi-sensei, I have a question," Sawatari said bring her attention back to him.

"What is it?"

"Preg..."

When he said that, I knew why they were acting so weird. Just like I did, they thought Yankumi was pregnant. But how did they get that idea? Did they over hear us and not get the whole conversation? I shrugged and watched the whole scene in amusement. Yankumi picked up a box off her desk making the teachers go crazy. I tried not to bust out laughing.

"Yamaguchi-sensei, you shouldn't lift such a heavy thing at a time like this," Sawatari said.

"A time like this? If I don't move it, I can't do my job," she stated.

Aoi-sensei smiled, "you don't have to hide it."

"Um, I'm not hiding anything."

Baba-sensei stood up and walked up to Yankumi, "alright! Yamaguchi-sensei. I'm a man too. If it's for your happiness," he took the box from her, "I'll give you up with good grace."
