Chapter Twenty-eight
Raine had been back home for over a week now and her stomach had thankfully stopped growing; if she got any bigger she would have to be bedridden. She wanted all the back pain,, morning sickness and abnormally large fingers and toes to go away. She missed her old figure and probably wasn't going to get it back.
She was hanging clothes outside on the line and it was hard to bend down to get them when they were in a basket on the ground, but she managed. Now that she was done it was time for the hard part; picking up the empty basked.
Just then Rumiko came outside with a bowl filled with water. She took a cloth out of the bowl and wrung out the water in it before throwing the water in the bowl onto the grass.
“Rumiko, could you help me with this basket?” Raine asked.
Rumiko ignored her and placed the damp cloth on the line.
“Come on Mimi, talk to me. You know I would never forget you.” Raine said.
Rumiko still ignored her. Raine sighed and hopelessly tried to pic up the basket herself.
Rumiko saw her sister struggling to pick up the basket and felt sorry for her. She sighed and went over to Raine and took up the basket.
“Arigato.” Raine said. All Rumiko did was scoff.
Later, Raine went to check up on her father. There was a bowl of cold water next to his bed. She removed the cloth form his forehead and felt for his temperature. To her surprise his forehead was cooler. She wasn't sure if it was because of the cloth or if her was really cooler or if it was the fact he had a cold cloth on his forehead.
She waited a few moments and then checked again. He was, indeeed cooler. Could it be? Just to be sure she checked his neck. Cooler. She turned him on his side a bit and checked his back. Cooler. Thighs. Cooler. Face, chest; all over him was cooler. His temperature had dropped. That could only mean one thing: he was getting better.
Raine put her ear to her father's chest like she had done with her mother so many years ago. His heart was still beating.
“You can fight this outousan. You can fight this.” She said.
*oOo*
It was lunch time and Raine had sent Kaoru outside to the kitchen garden to collect some vegetables for her to make some rabbit stew. The young girl hummed as she picked some carrots, potatoes, onions and lettuce. In order to get the corn Raine wanted she'd have to go to a neighbour's house; they had no room for a small corn field since the house was so large it took up most of the land.
Kaoru continued to hum as she picked some more vegetables for Raine. She picked her last carrot and put it in her basket. When she straightened up she saw a tall, silver haired man standing by a tree near to her home. She cocked her head to the side; he was looking right at her. As if by chance a carrot feel from her basked. She quickly bent down to get it. When she got back up, the silver haired man was gone. She shrugged it off thinking it was all in her head.
When she got back to the kitchen, Kiko was cleaning the dead rabbit Jiro had caught and he was doing it as far away from Raine as possible. When Kaoru delivered the vegetables to Raine she decided to relay the recent event to her eldest sister.
“Something weird happened on my way back.” Kaoru said.
“What's that?” Raine asked.
“I swore I saw a man with silver hair standing by that tree over there.” She said pointing to said tree through the window.
Raine suddenly stopped peeling the potatoes, cutting her knuckles. She hissed in pain and quickly wrapped her hand in the sleeve of her kimono.
*oOo*
Thor mentally kicked himself and physically slapped his forehead. He had been seen. He knew he shouldn't have left the tree. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. He listened to Raine's sister as she told her that she saw him. Then he smelled blood and heard Raine hiss in pain. His first instinct was to jump down from that tree and see what was wrong with her, which he almost did. But he could not risk exposure; their secret would be relveale, which wasn't really a bad thing but Raine was not ready to tell her husband.
When that thought crossed his mind: “She wasn't ready to tell her husband yet.” He sat in the tree and pondered what he had gotten himself into and what his mother had said.
“You can't expect a married woman to leave her husband for someone else.”
Was this really what he wanted to? Wait on a married woman to leave her husband for him? Was this really the best way to be in a relationship with someone? Lying and sneaking? Thor did not want to hide Raine; he wanted to take her home to his parents and siblings. To shout it to the entire world that he was in love with such a beautiful human being and person, but he couldn't.
He sighed. Maybe he should give Raine more time to make her decision. If it turned out that she didn't want to leave her husband he could accept that, but he wasn't about to leave his child.
*oOo*
Yosuke and his “ good-for-nothing-wife”, as Romy liked to call her, had been gone for over a week and no matter how thoroughly she searched the bedroom, she could not find any evidence to proof that her daughter-in-law was an adultress, liar and absolutelyy no good to her son. She knew that the girl was cheating, she just knew it and she doubted the child she carried belonged to her son; she just didn't have proof.
Romy opened the door to the bedroom the couple shared and slid it closed behind her. She walked into the centre of the room and looked all around. There wasn't an inch of the room she hadn't searched yet. She found zero, zip, zilch, nada, nil, nothing! And it frustrated the hell out of her. If only she could find something! Anything! Some hard evidence.
“That little whore is so...so..” Romy stomped her feet in frustration and when she did she heard a weird sound.
She got down on her knees and knocked on the spot where she had been standing, then she knocked on another part of the floor. Very interesting. She knocked where she stood. Hollow. Other spot. Solid. Now she knew where to find her evidence.
Romy searched a wide perimetre of that area very carefully and came upon a space between the floor boards that was wider than the others; large enought for her to fit her finger between. She then lifted up the board and voila! To her shock and evil satisfaction, she found a small box made from the wood of a cherry blossom tree.
She sat on the bed and slowly opened it. Romy picked up letter after letter after letter and read them all. Now she had her proof.
*oOo*
Raine sat on her bed and sighed. It had been a very long day and she was tired. She laid down on her side, ready to drift into sleep and enter the realm of dreams. She held her stomach and hissed in pain when she received a very painful contraction, worse than any that preceeded it.
Yosuke seeing her pain asked her if she was okay.
“I'm fine, but if this baby doesn't come out soon I'm gonna force it out.” She said making Yosuke laugh.
“You are going to be a wonderful mother.” He said making her smile.
Yosuke blew out the candles that provided their room with light and climbed into bed, quickly falling asleep. Raine on the othr hand was very restless.
Today her father showed signs of surviving his illness. She really now thought that he woud make it through, that she would not lose him, that she would still have her outousan.
Raine looked out the window, up at the stars and found the called her own. Her child would inherit that star.
