InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bundle of Joy ❯ Misadventures of Awaiting Fatherhood ( Chapter 2 )

o.O blink blink o.O

WOW! I'm glad that I use the support services so I can get the advanced stats. It's worth it to know how many people have hit (viewed) the story. In the first 24 hrs, I only got 4 reviews for ch.1 BUT there were over 220 hits. o.O hehe I'm not a true review junkie, I won't beg for reviews but I am a hit junkie. Nothing makes my day more than seeing how many people have at least looked at my story.

Warning= this chapter will discuss sex at the end. That is, a married couple will TALK about it, no juicy action though. I changed it to R just to be safe, although I could squeak by with PG-13. IF (big if) I write a lemon, it will be posted at MediaMiner.org and AdultFanFiction.net .

Thank you, all reviewers for guessing on the identities of the young mother & father. (I'd list your names, but as I type this, I have no phone service, therefore no access to Internet.) Now if you are correct…… I'M NOT TELLING!

Muhwahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha (author's …stupid… evil laughter)

Bundle of Joy chapter 2 Misadventures of Awaiting Fatherhood

The early morning silence was broken quite abruptly. "Hello! Anybody home? I know you can her me!"

She was starting to get angry. "Oh come on already, let me go!" She didn't like to start the day by begging to a heartless youkai that pretends to be deaf, ignoring her desperate pleas in her delicate condition.

She woke up to nature's call to find her husband had a tight grip around her hips since her waist is non-existent at eight pregnant. She had tried to wake her husband for the last 5 minutes and he would still not let go. "That's it, I need to go the bathroom, let go! Grrrrr I'm warning you right now. If you don't wake up and let me go, I'll dump this water pitcher all over you!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! By the all the hells! Why did you do that?" No youkai in his right mind enjoys being woken up by having water dumped on them. Well a Kappa might, but they definitely are not in their right mind, if they have a mind at all.

The young lady merely crossed her arms as she pointed towards her imprisoned hips. "Let go! I need to go the bathroom, right now! I've been trying to wake you up for awhile."

He took a quick glance at the clock, it was only 2:37 . "What? You need to go again? You just went three hours ago." He knew that was the wrong thing to say as soon as the words left his mouth.

Her eyes widened, nostrils flaring as her teeth grinded together. It was times like this he thought to himself that she would make an excellent demon. Before they met, he never thought an angry human would frighten him.

"What do mean, AGAIN?" Her screeching woke up her father and grandfather. With a nod to each other, they went down to the kitchen, leaving the husband to defend for himself. It wasn't their place to help him, every father-to-be has to find out how to tiptoe around his wife's wild mood swings during these last few months.

Sniff, "It's not my fault that Mother Nature is always calling me. She must have me on speed dial." She looked over at him with narrowed eyes. "I'll remind you that I am PREGNANT! I got a baby inside my belly that is pushing down on my bladder. OF COURSE I NEED TO PEE MORE OFTEN!"

As a single tear made it's presence known, he started to panic. "Oh gods, please don't cry. I didn't mean to be insensitive. I just love holding you. I like having you close especiallynowwithyoubeingpregnant." He unwound his tail as he helped her off the bed.

After she came back from the bathroom, he saw that she once again started to cry. She looked at her husband with the saddest eyes ever. "How can you want to hold me? I look like a whale!"

Ba-thump, ba-thump His heart pounded as she covered her face in her hands, he looked like he just saw the face of death. He knew it would be his own if he said the wrong thing. `Gods help me! How do I calm her down so she will believe me? Wretched hormones, I hate them. Benjiro and Kioshe said I just have to be patient."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8 months ago ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The young man looked nervously at his father in law. He really didn't know how his mate's family would take the news that she was pregnant. Sure, they accepted him and they had no problem that he married their precious girl child two months ago. But this is different; their child would be a hanyou.

"Congratulations! Heh So my little daughter is a month along? That's wonderful!" Benjiro was in heaven. He would finally be a grandfather. After his daughter had her 21st birthday, he wondered if he would have to wait for her brother to marry before he could hold a grandchild.

Kioshe looked solemn, he wondered if the youth had any idea of what is in store the next eight months. "Hmm, well if you worried about her this past few weeks when she started to get morning sickness; then you better get prepared for what's ahead of you. I don't know that youkai women go through, but I'll warn you now…Human women start off with morning sickness, but later they get the really strange cravings , then they get mood swings…"

Kioshe didn't get to finish as Benjiro interrupted him. "The mood swings get really bad in the last few months of pregnancy. As the baby grows and the woman's belly expands, she sometimes gets depressed about how she looks. During that particular mood, she worries if her husband will ever find her attractive again." Benjiro shook

His head as Kioshe sighed. "The only thing you can do during such a mood swing is to be supportive and loving. But what ever you do, do NOT ignore her."

At that last sentence, Kioshe sighed once again as he looked at his granddaughter's husband. "Never ignore a pregnant woman. You WILL regret it."

"I take it you speak from experience." The youkai was curious of what Kioshe did. The grandfather has always seemed to be quite calm, the type that can deal with a disaster. But then, Kioshe was a young husband, waiting for his first child at one time. Surely there are some embarrassing stories about Koishe.

"…." Kioshe wouldn't look towards the other two men.

"Well, are you going to tell him or should I?" Benjiro smiled at his father, he already knew the story but gave Kioshe a chance to…minimize his embarrassment.

Rolling his eyes at his son's eagerness to humiliate him, Kioshe turned to the young man. "Well, let me tell you this; never ignore your pregnant wife. And if she asks you if really looks like she swallowed a barrel, a ball, or the like: Do not ignore her. You have to say something , but never, NEVER say she looks like a fattened pig." After saying that Kioshe suddenly found the floor tiles interesting.

With narrowed eyes, the youkai turned to his father-in-law in order to hear a good story on his grandfather. "Hey Benjiro, your father had a chance, now what's the story?"

Laughing, Benjiro was quick to comply. "Heh, my mother told me the story. It seems that when they were expecting me, my mother had made a comment that she felt as if she looked like a pig. Dear father here ignored her at first. He would say later that he thought it was just another mood swing. Well, mom wasn't pleased so she yelled at him to answer her. Dad's reply was to say "Yes, you do look like a pig, a stuffed pig in fact." Benjiro paused to smile at the youth's dropped jaw. It is a surprise to hear that Kioshe would ever say something so…stupid

The youkai was a bit nervous to ask. "What did your mother do to him after that?" If his own mate was any indication, Kioshe's wife most likely had quite a temper, a temper that would ignite a bonfire after hearing that.

Benjiro gave a small smile of sympathy to his father. "Mother made him sleep outside. She would not let him in the house for five days straight."

Kioshe finally spoke up. "Let me tell you this, young man. This might be a shrine, but there's no shelter if your wife tells you to sleep in the doghouse, literally!"

It seemed that he focused on that memory only for a second but his wife had started to cry a river. He wasted no more time as he rushed to hold her. "Hush, my mate. I love you and find you attractive even now. You do not look like a whale. You look like a beautiful woman that's pregnant. Don't believe this idea that a pregnant woman is fat therefore ugly. That's not true. First thing, I think if a woman is pregnant and skinny then that's ugly because it seems that woman isn't eating enough to nurture her unborn."

She still felt terrible even after her husband's kind words. She did feel lucky that her husband did not ignore her. He is actually trying to comfort her. But she still felt the weight of depression try to hold her down. "There are some women who look quite lovely even when pregnant. They don't look skinny but they don't look fat either!"

He took his tearful wife into his arms as he kissed the top of her head. "I bet if you looked at a picture of those women before they got pregnant, you would notice they did get some fat on them. Perhaps their faces may not show it but they would get some fat like on the hips. It's impossible for a pregnant woman to be skinny and healthy. There is a difference between slim and skinny."

He turned her around to face him. "Listen to me, my love, my mate. I find you very attractive…"

Still in the grasp of self-doubt, she gave a futile attempt to get out of his grasp. "HOW? I'm fat compared to how I looked when you first took me…"

He refused to let her go now. "I find you attractive right now because you ARE pregnant. Believe it or not, there are men who find pregnant women sexy." At her dubious glance, he went on to explain. "Why do you think I hate to let you go anywhere without me these past two months?"

She forgot her self-doubt as curiosity got the better of her. "Why is that? I thought you were concerned for the safety of me and our baby." She placed both hands on her swollen belly as she looked up at her husband.

He smiled as he put his hands on top her own. "Ah but there's more to your protection than making sure you don't fall. I also want to protect you from lecherous men that find pregnant women arousing."

"WHAT!?" She looked up at him in shock.

He gave her a sly smile. "Remember that man that you thought was wanting to steal your purse last month?" At her nod, he went on to tell her what she didn't see. "Well, it wasn't your purse that had his mouth watering. It was your breasts that he was staring at. That was the reason I growled at him. Before you ask, yes I'm certain. I could smell his arousal."

He decided to press onward as she turned her face to the side, trying to hide her burning cheeks. "Remember I said you are sexy right now because you are pregnant? The fact that you are nurturing a child we created together is what makes you attractive to me. Do you have any idea how much I've wanted you these past two months that we've not done anything physically?"

Caught by surprise, she whipped around to face him. "What? I thought you hesitating around me because you didn't want me?"

It was his turn to be surprised once she said that. He never thought she may take his hesitation in that way. "No! That's not it at all. I was worried about your feelings. I didn't want to make you feel like you had to have sex if you weren't in the mood. I had thought that you didn't want to because of the late stage of pregnancy." He tightened his arms around her as the tension finally left her lovely form. "Do you have any idea how much I wanted to suckle your breasts lately? I hadn't said anything because I was afraid you would think I was sick or disgusting."

When she faced her husband, he saw a look in her eyes he has longed to see. And his nose confirmed it, she was aroused. Smiling at him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "No, love, my mate, I don't think that you are sick or disgusting. I think you are wonderful. And you know, there are some positions that are safe for pregnant women." With that she attacked his lips with her own.

***** 1 hour later, down in the kitchen*****

Benjiro looked up at the ceiling as more screams of pleasure filled the house. "Well, father, do you think we will ever get some more sleep ?"

Laughing at his son's tired look, Kioshe poured some more tea. "Heh not tonight, unless you have a soundproof room."
