I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 72: Everyone's Okay

Everyone's Okay

Killua sweat dropped, he had not expected his entire family to cram into the room to see the ultrasound, but Kalluto's eyes were practically shining with excited curiosity, Milluki was trying to keep a displeased look on his face, but Killua could see an underlying excitement in the dark depths of his eyes, his chubby fingers picking at the end of his shirt nervously.

Illumi was standing near the door again, eyeing the machinery in the room and the doctors movements with mild curiosity. Zeno had his arms folded behind his back, a soft smile tugging at his lips with a proud glint in his eyes. Kikyo was standing right next to Killua, her hands gently resting on his left shoulder, watching the doctor with fond nostalgia; Killua didn't hope she suddenly wanted more kids of her own.

Silva stood near his legs, arms folded over his chest, staring at the doctor in a threatening manner, just daring the man to do or say something wrong. The doctor fumbled nervously, shoulders tense as Silva's glare bore into the back of his neck.

Gon was stuck in between both of his parents, looking tense and highly uncomfortable. Killua's left hand was held tightly between both of Gon's, a tan thumb brushing over his scarred knuckles, a frown tugging the corners of Gon's lips down as he stared absently down at their hands.

Killua chewed on the inside of his lower lip nervously, he just wanted to get this started, he needed to know that their baby was okay and that he hadn't completely failed as a mother already by harming the foetus.

The doctor cleared his throat. “Alright then, let's get this started,” he spoke, voice falsely cheery.
Killua fumbled with the shirt he was wearing--they had leant him a spare nurse uniform since his clothes were not in wearable condition anymore--somehow managing to pull his shirt all the way up to his chest with just his right hand.

Killua's abdominal muscles twitched as the cold, blue gel was applied to his stomach. Killua's fingers tightened their hold on Gon's hand, the omega taking deep breaths to try and calm himself down.

It was uncomfortably silent as the doctor placed the wand of the machine to Killua's stomach, moving it around as he gently pressed it into the silver haired males abdomen. The doctor fumbled with the machine for a bit as the black and white image popped up.

“Ah, there we go,” the doctor muttered as he pointed out the baby to them on the screen with his pinkie finger. The doctor remained quiet for a few minutes, before turning to them with a bright smile. “Everything's completely fine! The baby's heart beat seems normal, no abnormal blood pressure or heart rate,”

He let them listen to the heart beat for a minute, and Killua had to supress the urge to start crying in absolute relief. The doctor printed them a new photo, and Killua blinked in surprise at the slip of paper as he remembered Touya still had his old one.

“Now, I do recommend you keep a closer eye on your pregnancy, if anything feels out of the ordinary, like pain passed the usual cramping and blood in your urine, anything that you feel alarmed by, you need to come in, okay? I do suggest to try and have as stress free a pregnancy as possible,” the doctor stated as he wiped the gel off of Killua's stomach.

“Keep a close eye on him, okay? Make sure he eats and takes in enough fluids,” he told Gon before he smiled down at Killua. “Other than that, you should be just fine. I'm sure you're eager to go home now, I'll go fetch your discharge papers,”

Killua nodded. “Okay, thank you doctor,”
The man tried to subtly rush out of the room, but the way he tripped on the door made it quite obvious and Killua snickered.
The minute the door shut behind the man, Kikyo burst into tears, crying into a handkerchief that Silva handed her.
