"Where are we going?" she asked in a quiet voice, and Sanemi remained silent as he continued o hold onto her gently while guiding her out of the Butterfly Estate. She wasn't sure where she was going, she wasn't sure what was happening.

But all she knew was that Sanemi was going to be by her side throughout and that alone, made her have a soft smile appearing on her face.

It was dark, night time to be specific. The night was cold as if symbolizing that something bad was going to happen, which caused Sanemi to tighten his hold on her. She felt the squeeze on her hand and she couldn't help but continue to waddle next to him.

Where his other hand was placed behind her back, supporting her ever so tenderly.

Their eyes laid upon Kyojuro and Mitsuri who were carrying large boxes filled with oranges, and Mitsuri's eyes lit up upon noticing [name]. A wide smile appeared on her Love Hashira's face did she start to run towards them.

"Kya! It's [name]-sama!" and she dropped the boxes of oranges onto Sanemi's foot, causing the Wind Hashira to let go of [name] and Mitsuri caught her with ease whereas Sanemi was trying to find his balance and eventually started to fan his foot due to the heat that was rising from the pain.

[name] laughed softly at the way Sanemi was acting and she watched as he tried to regain his composure as he returned to her side, holding onto her gently once again. Hearing a loud chuckle coming from Kyojuro, Sanemi could only shake his head then.

"Let's go!" the Flame Hashira called out, and Sanemi shook his head as Mitsuri carried the box once more and started to walk with Kyojuro. He turned to look and noticed the gentle smile [name] had on her face as he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Let's go, [name]-sama," he called out and [name] nodded her head as she started to waddle towards wherever they were supposed to be going. Her eyes laid upon the courtyard where the Hashira meeting was mostly held.

Her lips parted as she looked at the Hashiras who had gathered, and they chuckled at how happy she looked as she quickly waddled over to where they were, having Makomo coming over quickly to help support her as she got up the patio.

"Why are you all here? Shouldn't you be resting after the training?" she asked, and they chuckled softly as they looked at the eldest daughter of Oyakata-sama.

"We are here to spend some time with you, [name]-sama. Shinazugawa suggested it," Sabito spoke out and [name] turned to look at Sanemi who had on a deep blush on his face as he quickly averted his gaze from her.

"Thank you, Nemi. This means a lot to me," she whispered out and Sanemi allowed the small smile to appear on his lips then as he guided [name] to have a seat.

"They say oranges are good for a pregnant woman!" Mitsuri called out and [name] watched as Mitsuri started to peel the oranges for them, and she could smell the heavy sweet scent lingering from the oranges. A smile plastered on her face as Mitsuri soon offered her an orange as a whole, allowing [name] to split the orange into pieces and placing it on the plate.
