23/Supportive Surprise

I sat on the couch in a daze. Ushijima and I were watching a movie but I couldn't focus on it at all. How do I bring this up to him.. would he leave me..?

Damn it. Just do it! Just tell him!

You: Wakatoshi..
He paused the movie and looked at me. I avoided eye contact as I thought of a way to bring this up.

Ushijima: Do you need something?

You: Uhm.. I- uh.. god this is hard to bring up...

Ushijima: You can be forward with me [y/n].

You: I- I know but.. it's.. uh.. super serious

Ushijima: What is it?

You: ...My cycle has been late...

Ushijima: Your cycle... oh your-

You: Yeah, death week.

Ushijima: Does that mean you could be pregnant?

You: Yep...

Ushijima: Why would you be scared to tell me that?

You: Well because of volleyball and the wedding is in a few months.. you have a lot of stuff ahead of you and-... I didn't want a child to mess that up for you..

Ushijima: I've actually been wanting a child.

You: ..wait what?

Ushijima: You've been busy with work a lot recently so I didn't want to bring it up in case it stresses you out more.

You: ..so you aren't upset?

Ushijima: No.

I looked away in thought. If I was pregnant, what would life be like. I'd have to take less hours, maybe work from home.. what about Ushijima..? He's doing so good recently... a baby could really harm him..

He'd stress about me and the baby, then I'd be stressed about him and the baby and we'd both be stressed out and-

Ushijima: Don't worry about it honey.

You: Hm?

Ushijima: When you get stressed you stare off with a slightly scrunched face.

You: Oh.. sorry..

Ushijima: Don't be sorry. If we end up having a kid, everything will be just fine.

You: I guess... what about my brother.. the guys..

Ushijima: It's our baby. They don't get a choice if we end up having one or not.

You: That's true.. I should probably take one before jumping to conclusions.

Ushijima: I'll go buy you one. You stay here and calm down.

I nodded as Ushijima kissed me and got up off the couch. He grabbed his keys and left. I got some water and laid down on the couch. My mind was running wild with thoughts.
