New Chapter, no new warnings that I can
think of. Enjoy.
Touya looked over the contents of his refrigerator. He felt
like eggs this morning, but what Jin would want was more of the question. For the first couple months after Jin moved
in with his old Shinobi partner, the wind master
would be up with the dawn and have breakfast ready and waiting for when Touya, who liked an extra hour or two to sleep in in the mornings. Now
at the end of his seventh month of pregnancy, Jin sleeping more and more, not
only falling asleep earlier at night and waking later in the morning, but also
taking multiple cat naps during the span of the day.
Jin had
been determined to stay active during the early stages of his pregnancy,
keeping up with exercises and a bit of practicing with the air around him. He
was always careful not to over expend his energy or try anything to risky. Mostly he would shoot pebbles and random
small objects at targets. He was getting
quite good at projectiles and Touya was eager to see
if he continued this new form of training once his child was born. Now, however, with the child growing to such
a size that Jin was caused to waddle everywhere instead of the bouncy spring he
once possessed, and it was taking up so much of its mother’s energy that Jin
had little to no energy to spend training.
As Touya started heating up his frying pan a muffled string of
curses sounded from his guest room, which was currently Jin’s room. Hesitantly Touya
made his was to the closed door.
Remaining silent outside the door, the ice master debated on whither or
not he should offer his help, the last time he did so it ended explosively.
“Are you
jus’ gonna stand out there or are ya
gonna get yer frigid arise n’ere n‘elp me?”
Touya took a deep breath and willed his patience to remain
with him; oh it was too early in the morning to deal with mood swings.
Although, the mood swings were just that, swings. They never lasted overly long and very rarely
become violent. Touya
compulsively rubbed over the bruise healing on his hip from where a mug had
collided with his flesh from yesterday’s outburst. Touya had
accidentally referred to Jin’s growing baby as ‘it’ and felt the repercussions
of his blooper.
“Don never b’calln’
m’baby ‘it’” Jin had snarled. Touya was surprised
as he had heard Jin refer to the child as ‘it’ many times.
“Did you find out the gender of your
baby, then?” Touya
asked ten times calmer then he felt.
“Ya’know I
don wanna know.” Jin snapped
in reply. “I jus don’ wan’ya calln’ Baby ‘it’.”
“How would you prefer me to address
your unborn child, Jin?”
Jin glared at his friend, not liking
his tone one bit. “Baby.” He practically snarled through clenched teeth.
Touya held
up his hands in a surrendering gesture and nodded. “Okay, Baby it is.” He retreated then before
something else was flying through the air at his person.
Touya had the suspicion that if the baby turned out to be
female that her name would be ‘Baby’.
Opening the
door, Touya was greeted by the sight of the bare skin
of Jin’s swollen abdomen. He knew better
to ask what the problem was or if he needed a hand getting up because that was
exactly what the problem was, and it happened just about every other morning.
“If you
start gigglin’ yer gonna get it good.” Came Jin’s voice from behind the swollen mountain his belly
seemed to make. “An’ hurry up! I ‘avta pee!”
Touya bit back a chuckle; it came out as a snort.
“I’m gonna ‘hurt you.”
“Calm down,
Jin.” Touya
soothed, crawling on to the bed to kneel next to the redhead’s shoulders. He was greeted with Jin’s cerulean blue eyes
giving him a glare, his rounded cheeks flushed with embarrassment. One of the side affects of pregnancies was
retaining water, and Jin was no exception, as his ankles, wrists and cheeks were
swollen, giving Jin facial features an even more cherubic look then
normal. Giving Touya
a possible insight to what the baby’s chubby baby face would look like when it
arrived. To save his friend some
dignity, Touya kept his mouth such as he supported
Jin’s shoulders and pushed him into a sitting position.
“Thanks.”
“Your welcome, my friend.”
Touya crawled off the bed and started slowly for the door
just so to make sure that Jin no longer needed help. A moment later he heard Jin struggling to
stand. He turned and saw Jin once again struggling to stand. Turning to watch, the
shorter stayed put a few steps from the door, not about to anger his friend
further by once again offering his help.
Jin hadn’t even noticed that his friend was still there, as all his
thoughts were focused on getting him off his ass and onto his feet. Bracing himself with his hands on the bed, he
then rocked his hips forward until his weight was on his feet, only, if he put
too much force in he pitched forward and his swollen stomach threw him off
balance forcing him to either sit back down or fall flat on his face. Yet if he didn’t put enough force behind the
motion of his hips, his rear wouldn’t lift more then a couple inches off the
bed. After another minute or so Touya took pity on his friend, who still needed to relieve
himself, and approached offering a helping hand.
Jin smiled
sheepishly. Accepting the hand and finally was able to pull himself onto his
feet. A second he was
shuffling as fast has he could to the bathroom, throwing a ‘thanks’ over his
shoulder. Only after the bathroom
door was closed with a loud click that suggested that there was a bit too much
force behind the hand closing would Touya allow
himself to chuckle. He continued to chuckle as he walked back to the kitchen. A few minutes later Jin entered, humming
cheerfully to himself.
“Would you
like some eggs?” Touya
offered, cracking two in the frying pan for himself.
“Yea, but
I’ll make ‘um m’self.” He answered digging through one of the
cabinets grabbing dry oatmeal and a bag of peppered jerky. “Yers’s always too
runny.” By the time he had retrieved
mustard and relish from the refrigerator Touya was
finished with his own eggs and left the stove for Jin to use. He couldn’t bring himself to watch as Jin
made his own breakfast, using the dry oatmeal and jerky in his eggs then
spreading the mustard and relish on his toast along with the grape jam Touya already had out.
The pair ate silently for a few moments until Jin spoke up.
“I ‘ave an appointment with the midwife t’day.” He
said.
Touya looked up from his plate, not sure what Jin was
getting at. He simply waited for his friend to continue.
“Are ya gonna come with me?”
“Of course, Jin.” Touya answered, not sure as to what brought that question
on. “I’ve come to every other
appointment, haven’t I?”
“Yea,” He answered. “I jus din’ wanna
go ‘lone.”
“I wouldn’t
let you go by yourself even if you wanted to.” Touya
answered, figuring that Jin was nervous of being alone now that it was harder
for him to get around. If, for whatever
reason, Jin was attacked he would have one hell of a time defending himself.
The two
demons had left right after breakfast was fully cleaned up and to the town just
after noon; as, due to Jin’s
pregnancy, the pace had to be slow with frequent stops. Of course, now Jin would be hungry so Touya didn’t even ask as he steered toward the restaurant
that Jin preferred over all the others in that town. As he did so he felt the toe of Jin’s soft
shoe brush the back of his heel. It
happened every time they went into the town, Jin became ten times
clingier. He wouldn’t hang all over the
ice master but it was clear that his presence calmed his friend to the point
that he would stay glued to Touya’s side or seek him
out immediately if, for whatever reason, they were separated. It seemed to him that, at times, he was
afraid that he would be abandoned by Touya. After the first time that thought came to Touya, he had made it a point to stay by Jin’s side, even
if abandonment was the last thing on his mind.
“Yer quiet.” Jin commented after
he and Touya had been seated and ordered the usual
from their usual waitress.
“Am
I?” Touya
asked. “I hadn’t noticed.”
“Well, I
did.”
“What would
you like to talk about then?”
“I dunno.”
“How has
the baby been lately?” Touya asked, hoping that they could find something to talk
about. After spending the past months with just each other for company, aside
from when one had to run out to get food, which they usually did on the days of
Jin’s appointments, they had started to run out of things to talk about; except
of course for the coming baby, Jin was always ready and willing to talk about
the life inside of him.
“Active. Sometimes I be thinkin’ ‘at Baby be wantin’ ta jump right out of m’insides.” Jin flashed a wide toothy grin across the
table to his friend. “Can’na wait till I can see Baby
with m’own eyes.”
Touya smiled and let Jin prattle off about whatever came
into that wild head of his. It wasn’t
long before lunch was brought out, silencing Jin, who at ravenously, until a
sudden loud belch rumbled from his throat.
Touya looked up from his plate, as did most of
the other patrons seated around them.
Jin seemed just as started by his sudden belch and grinned sheepishly
into Touya’s bemused gaze.
“’Cuse ‘at.” His smiled deepened a slight tinge of blush
forming on his swollen cheeks. “Baby
says ‘Yum’.”
“I’m
glad Baby approves.” Touya
answered with an affectionate shake of his head.
.~*~.
It was late, very late,
actually I was considered early morning.
Jin realized that he should be sleeping, yet he was wide awake staring
into the darkness surrounding him. The
thoughts swirling through his mind focused on Yusuke, which was happening more
and more often now that Jin was so late in his pregnancy and very noticeably
heavy with child. He couldn’t help
thinking of the father of his child and wondering what his dark haired ex-lover
was up to; if his mate had any children on the way. He didn’t like the thought of Yusuke
reproducing with any one else now that he carried his child. The very thought
made his ears curl back into themselves, which was unheard of since the moment
Jin found he was preggers.
Never overly melancholy by nature, it was odd
for Jin to be brooding. Yusuke said from
the beginning that he was going to leave and claim his mate in the Ningenkai and Jin really didn’t care, he simply enjoyed
spending time with he friend and the awesome sex they shared was simply the
biggest perk ever. Even now, he did miss
Yusuke’s presence but never overly so. That was until he was out among other
unfamiliar demons and late in the night.
That was when Jin wanted those familiar, strong arms to wrap around him
and reassure him that through this short time of near helplessness due to his
body accommodating his child that he, and the life he carried, would be
protected.
Not liking
this mood Jin did the one thing that would usually cheer him up. He took a couple deep calming breaths and
focused on the energy of the baby, seeing it pulse with each beat of its little
heart. The rhythmic pulse of the soft
glow of his baby’s ki worked perfectly, quickly
lulling him to sleep the way his own heartbeat is keeping his baby company
during these first few months of its life.
Jin didn’t
know how long he was asleep, or even if he had slept at all, but suddenly there
was sharp movement inside his swollen abdomen.
Jin’s large ocean blue eyes snapped wide open, staring down at the
rounded crest of his stomach, which was illuminated by the soft silver light of
the moon, as it rippled and lurched.
Suddenly, that soft, gentle ki that had just
been comforting turned to an angry red and started fluctuating rapidly, the
baby seeming to twist and squirm forcefully.
Starting to
get horribly sore from the inside out, Jin moaned softly. “Enough wit’ ‘ta jumpin’jacks.”
A sudden kick
lashed through Jin’s body, aimed towards the rib cage, hitting the lowest rib
with amazing accuracy for someone being held in the tight confines of Jin’s
womb. In a mix of shock and awe, Jin
listened to the sound of his bone cracking from the force of the kick. Doubling
over in pain, Jin could do little more then wait out his baby’s first temper
tantrum, doing his best to stay calm and send his babe calming ki, his large hands stroking and caressing his skin in
hopes that the baby would feel it.
In the room
across the hall, Touya’s pale eyes snapped open. ‘What
in the world is going on?’ He
wondered to himself feeling the sudden rising and falling of youki from Jin’s room.
Deciding to investigate, the ice master climbed out of his bed and
pulled on a pair of loose fitting pants.
In seconds he was at Jin’s closed door knocking softly and calling to
his friend. Hearing a muffled reply Touya opened the
door and peeked in finding Jin cuddled into a fetal position. The short demon was instantly aware of two
things, that Jin was covered in a damp sheen of sweat and that he was in some
sort of intense pain.
“What’s happening Jin?”
He asked, quickly padding to his friend’s side, his mind racing. If Jin was in labor then the child may not be
strong enough to survive outside of Jin’s protective womb. “You aren’t in labor are you?”
Jin shook
his head, his unruly locks sticking to his damp forehead. He had exhausted himself trying to stop his
baby’s outburst before something vital inside of him was bruised or
broken. The baby had stilled only
moments before Touya came rushing into the room and
the only thing keeping the wind master awake was the sharp pain of his broken
rib, it was at that moment that he decided that the baby was taking after it’s
father.
“Baby threw
a hissy.” He panted. “Think’n
I gots a broken rib.”
Touya’s eyes widened, not even born and the child had
enough force to break bones! This child
was going to be one hell of a fighter.
“Turn over
for me. Let me see if I can heal
it.” Touya
instructed. The redhead complied, crying
out as his movements jarred his rib.
With gentle prods using both his fingers and ki,
Touya found that Jin did indeed have a broken rib,
but it was a minor factor and easily fixed.
“I can heal it for you. Just lay
still, my friend.”
Touya wasn’t particularly gifted in the craft of healing;
however, he did have some training from his Shinobi
master that proved helpful many times on the battle field along with this very
moment. The crayon red headed demon
visibly relaxed as his friend’s soothing ki took
effect.
“Better?”
Jin nodded.
“You don thin’
Baby was hurt, too, do ya?” He asked anxiously, his hands coming to rest
on the top of his abdomen and rubbing wide circles over his baby.
“I’m sure
Baby is just fine. That’s one very impressive child you carry Jin.”
“Takes after Yusuke ‘at un does.” Jin agreed, his panting breaths starting to
slow and even out.
“I think
you may be right.” Touya
answered softly. He stood, and left the
room briefly coming back with a bowl of warm water and a soft cloth intending
to let Jin wash some of the sweat from his body. When he came back, however, Jin was half
asleep even though his body was still rather sore as Touya
wasn’t able to take all of the pain away.
Shrugging mentally Touya started quickly, yet
gently cleaning off Jin’s smooth skin.
Once finished with his front half, Touya coxed
Jin to sit up to allow him to get his back.
Two seconds after Jin’s head hit the pillow, he was out comfortably
clean for the time being and just annoyingly sore.
Touya placed the bowl of water on the top of the dresser,
and then leaned back against it, not wanting to leave Jin’s side just yet in
case the baby hadn’t worked off enough of its energy. He stayed awake and alert, watching Jin’s
sleep softened expression as he slept peacefully. Just as dawn started turning the horizon pink
Touya yawned and stretched, figuring that Jin
wouldn’t be up any time soon to eat it wouldn’t be a problem to go back to bed
himself for another hour or so. As it
turned out neither demon was up until their stomachs complained about their
missing breakfast AND lunch.
.~*~.
That chapter was a bit longer then I thought and it was
already cut in half. So, yes, that means
that Jin will be dominating the next chappie as well,
so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for
the wonderful reviews, keep them coming! Later guys!
