Chapter 3: Moving Into A New House

Finally deciding it was time to move on with life in such a short time, Fukiyose once again went back to his usual tough-love façade which is something to which Kamijou was ironically thankful for. He just couldn't bear see the Iron Wall Girl to be not like her usual self and so far he had only seen her spill tears and more tears for unkown reasons other than the fact that theyi'll be young parents. After what seemed like forever, Fukiyose was able to finally contact her grandparents and while they were visibly upset and slightly angry that something like that happened, the Forehead Deluxe quickly explained that it was her fault in the first place even before her grandfather can hunt down a certain spiky haired boy. In the end, the grandparents were left with no choice but to accept the fact that they're going to have a great-grandchild earlier that they expect. The only thing that they ask from her now is to finish her studies.

And that's something she'll be able to do with her brain. Kamijou sighed as he was leaning in the apartment of the female dormitory.

Currently, he was waiting for her to come out for the apartment as she claimed she still had to fix some minor issues. Kamijou had already packed her important belongings into two large bags that he'll carry himself. I wonder what's taking her so long? He asked himself as he touched his head and slightly winced in pain.

"Yep, it still hurts." The Imagine Breaker user muttered.

"Hey, I'm here now!" Suddenly, the voice of Fukiyose, in black slacks and a large t-shirt that's enough to accommodate her growing baby bump, was heard as he then goes outside and locks the room. "I'll be giving this to the landlady so let's go down now. They both went downstairs as Kamijou was dragging the heavy luggage though luckily, he was used to carrying much more heavy things in the past. After Fukiyose had returned the key to the landlady, they both rode the car when it would bring them to the apartment near Komoe's.

As the car they were riding is driving smoothly in the road, the two were simply quiet as Kamijou chose not to say anything since he might end up only pushing the berserk button. It's much better to stay quiet for now. The boy then took out his phone and was about to text Index about something when suddenly, Fukiyose initiated the conversation.

"Kamijou, do you want our baby to be a boy?" She unexpectedly asked that question as the soon-to-be daddy nearly dropped his phone in surprise and was gaping for the moment. Uhm... what's that again, Fukiyose?

"Nevermind..." Fukiyose rolled her eyes as she turns to the windows. "I don't think you would even understand that question in the first place.

Kamijou felt his knee pierced by an imaginary arrow at Fukiyose's blunt comment. Bad woman! Bad! He then grimaced as he just then was about to sleep off the whole journey that seemed to take ten decades to finish. As the car then slows down due to traffic, Fukiyose, unmindful of his would-be husband's welfare, smacked him head on and once he awakens in shock as to why she did such thing, she then said. "Later, when we get home, buy me something to eat. I need some thick mushroom soup later in the evening."

Is this one of the effects of pregnancy? Kamijou didn't know whether he should feel amused or feel pity to himself right now. "Okay, I'll cook some soup later when we get home. I might even cook in a large pot because....well...you know... Index is a voracious eater and I can't allow her to suddenly cut our budget for our baby.."

"Sister-san? Whatever." Fukiyose seemed a bit irritated though Kamijou had expected it somehow. They say pregnant women are bossier than usual and given her usual character, I'm not anymore astonished that she is acting a bit angrier than his normal self.

After a few minutes, they finally stopped by a street. After paying the driver, Kamijou began dragging her luggage as they walk into a large apartment building just in front of another familiar wood-like apartment standing in support columns. Yep, that's Komoe-sensel's apartment. Kamijou immediately spotted the familiar dwelling place of their homeroom teacher as he was aching to finally rest his arms after pulling the two large bags for almost an hour

The apartment looked like a typical student dormitory building from the outside but in the inside, it was larger and definitely has larger space than the ones being occupied by students that didn't have that much money. For Kamijou, this means that he can have one room for the two of them and another room for Index and especially Othinus since he wouldn't want to freak out Fukiyose, who once 'saw' Othinus as a doll, and ultimately cause a miscarriage.

The moment they went upstairs in the second floor, they proceeded to room 210 after being able to get their key cards from the administrator's office. "It sure looks a bit extravagant. I wonder how Komoe-sensei's being able to afford all of this for us..." Kamijou thought out loudly as the luggage banged loudly in the floor.

"Sensel probably had connections..." Fukiyose muttered as she kept observing the magnificent wall painted in white as well as the doors, which are made in cedar hardwood and stainless steel melded into thin sheets to provide extra protection to the doors, which are closed by a key card locker.

After scanning the key card, Kamijou and Fukiyose finally got to enter to the room that their teacher had recommended for them, though this is actually the first time for the latter since the boy with spiky hair has already been here this morning. And once they entered, they were very much surprised to see at how clean and well-furnished their unit is. Aside from the two separate bed rooms, there was also a complete kitchen set, a television set (which the male teen feared that they won't be able to use for obvious reasons), a computer desk, and two full-bathrooms.

And of course, there is Index, waiting for their arrival.

"Welcome to our home!" The English nun greeted rather cheerfully. "You'll be in my care! I would become the godmother, afterall!"

Godmother?! Ol, we didn't discuss something like that! And what's with that expression? I've never seen her do that other than to food and drinks!

"Of course, sister-chan. Thank you for having us here." Fukiyose smiled rather cutely, making Kamijou gape in shock.

What's up with that smile?! It's like I'm in a different residence!

"Ara, It seems that every one of you is here already!" Komoe suddenly appeared in their room as she flashes a big grin.

Ah, leave it to Komoe-sensei to revert everything back to normal. Seriously, this is something my right hand can't even shatter

As everyone is making themselves comfy with their new home, Kamijou can just grimace as he watches Index

As everyone is making themselves comfy with their new home, Kamijou can just grimace as he watches Index: talk to Fukiyose about how their incoming child should be brought up and that the baby should be baptized.

Yeah right. You weren't like that the last night I spoke to you about her pregnancy. Kamijou frowned as he remembered what ordeal he had to pass through that time.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

"Index! Please, Index! Stop munching my head already!" Kamijou was forced to take shelter in his bathroom after being able to dislodge Index's teeth from his battered, bruised, and bloodied head. He nun was very furious after learning that her partner is already bound to become a teenage parent.

"Toumal It's a mortal sin to have indecent premarital sex and lustful relationships!" Index roared as she tried to munch through the door of the bathroom.

"Dammit, Index! How many times do I have to tell you that I didn't purposely committed it?!" Kamijou screamed as he was pressing his back against the white walls of his washroom. "Ol, Othinus! Help me here!"

Sadly, it looks like that the former Magic God can't even help him even if she wants and he spent all night long fending off the deadly bite attacks of the silver-haired nun.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

"Oi, Index, you know what these means..." He called out the attention of the silver haired nun, who stopped running her mouth and turned her attention to the boy.

"What are you saying, Touma?"

"What I'm saying is that you really have to learn to do simple house chores while we're here for at least eight to nine months or so." Karmijou sighed as he knew doing chores isn't the forte of nun-in-training dedicated to doing nothing but to eat every day and all day while holding her grimoires in her head. "We can't let Fukiyose do the heavier chores here as she's pregnant as you can see and it's bound to get painful for her."

"Then you do it, Toumal You're the husband here!" Index roared.

"You do realize that I have to attend school as well." Kamijou gently explained. "I'd be damned if I ended up not graduating and the same thing goes for her, though she's attending online classes due to her condition."

Index only scowled as she turned her head away and crossed her arms.

"Well, it looks like you're going to live here quite peacefully, Kamijou-chan, Fukiyose-chan, and Sister-chan." Komoe smiled as she then brings out a wad of paper and pushed it forward to the boy. "Well, it looks like you're first job for your pay is about to start today. Let's go, Kamijou-chan!"

"Oh yeah.." The boy scratched his head as he eyed the documents that he'll copy in the computer provided to them. As he was about to go to work, he heard Fukiyose say something to him as she enters their would-be bedroom. 'Don't forget the mushroom soup..." It sounds more like an order than a request though that's to be expected from the Iron Wall Girl.

Nodding tonelessly, Kamijou then turned to his computer and was about to start working when suddenly, he felt his phone vibrating. Pulling out his flip phone, he answered it.

"Hello?"

"Yo, Kami-yan!"

"Tsu-Tsuchimikado?" Kamijou wasn't amused to hear the voice of his best friend and at the same time, tormentor, at this point.

"Fancy hearing you, neh, Kami-yan? Well, I'm just gonna inform you that I take first dibs as the godfather of you and Fukiyose-sama's child..."

"Oi...wait a minute..." Kamijou was very much surprised to hear that the blonde backstabber had already knew of Fuklyose's pregnancy. Wait.. how did he knew all along? Wait..scratch that...I better stop questioning it. It's Tsuchimikado, after all.

"Not surprised that you learned of it, Tsuchimikado." Kamijou had a sarcastic glint in his eye as he answers the phone. "Though I'd rather find someone else as our child's godfather."

"Woah, that hurts, nya! Is it a male or a female?"

"We don't know yet." The spiky haired boy curtly replied. "All I know is that we'll go and have daily check-ups with that doctor. He was referring to Heaven Canceller here. "And if you don't mind, please don't tell Aogami about our unborn child? Something tells me that the moment he learns it, he'll spread the word immediately and it would cause too much suffering on my part. I mean it seriously."

"Bwahahahaha! Don't worry, Kami-yan. The moment he learns it is when I become the godfather of the child." Tsuchimikado wasn't giving up for that role as he presses on. "So what would you do once Misaka learns of this?"

Kamijou can imagine the smile of Tsuchimikado grinning in his phone as he then tilts at one particular dilemma. Crap! I forgot about Misakal The male teen knew how obsessed the Level 3 Railgun is when it comes to any information regarding him and he knew that she wouldn't like this news about him impregnating someone else. Something tells me she'll have me executed.

"I'll handle that, Tsuchimikado." Kamijou nevertheless replied. "Just don't tell this to everyone, yet."

"Hal, Hai. Bye bye for now and say hello to my godchild for me, nya!" At last, the line went dead as Kamijou ignored the last request and began to work religiously for his new family.

-----------‐---------------------------------------------------------
6. No Secrets Can't be Kept Hidden Forever

"Itadakimasu!" Currently, the group of index, Komoe, the soon-to-be-family in Kamijou and Fukiyose, and Othinus (who is in the male's pockets) are already gathered in the dining table. After Kamijou had finished encoding their sensei's documents, he was already paid a sum of 5000 Yen in notes and coins. He then proceeded to cook his wife-figure's request of mushroom soup and so, he then went outside for the moment to buy some ingredients. Afterwards, he went down to business immediately and in a short time, he was able to cook their dinner.

"Yay! This soup is so tasty." Index was ecstatic as she slurped into her soup noisily.

"Sister-chan...be quiet and stop slurping your soup in a loud manner. Komoe slightly chided the nun then watches Kamijou and Fukiyose eat. The boy seemed to be a bit careful and quite picky with what his pregnant classmate eats as he actually cooked meals other than the mushroom soup that is in line with her present condition. Right now, Fukiyose is consuming her glass of warm milk before resuming in consuming the legumes and boiled sweet potatoes prepared on a small plate.

"Kamijou-chan would really be a good future husband." Komoe teased the two but it caused both of them to freeze temporarily as they didn't expect such words coming from their teacher. "Oh...what's with the reaction?"

"No-Nothing, Komoe-sensei..." Fukiyose replied, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. To save himself from the embarrassment, Kamijou stood for the moment as he knew he still had to feed Othinus, who was already complaining of not being able to eat. Taking a loaf of bread as well as a bowl of soup, he brought the former Magic God into her and Index's room and left her there so he can go back immediately to the dining table in the kitchen.

He was about to return to eating his own food when Index suddenly complained. "Toumal How come she can eat other meals besides mushroom soup!" She rudely points towards the Forehead Deluxe, who seemed to ignore her and just kept chewing her sweet potato. "It's so unfair!"

"She's pregnant so she would need all the necessary nutrients for our baby." Kamijou explained. "Sweet potatoes are good for fetal development and legumes are excellent plant-based sources of fiber, protein, iron, folate (B9) and calcium."

"I'm surprised you're maturing, stupid Kamijou." Fukiyose sounded it in a way that would still look like her own façade but inwardly, she was very much thankful for all of his hard work.

"Well...I needed to. If I don't, then no one would take care of my child-and you, for that matter. Karmijou nonchalantly replied but this caused the heart of the Iron Wall Girl to melt instantly and she can only stare at the boy, who didn't notice her and immediately slurped the last soup in his bowl. "Excuse me, I'm going to prepare our bed for the night. Index, go and start washing the dishes once she is done eating her meal." He ordered the surprised nun, who begrudgingly agreed as she proceeds to collect all of the empty bowls.

Komoe had to smile as she watches the scene in front of her unfold. This is going to be interesting.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

After cleaning all of the plates, Index proceeds to go to her own room to join Othinus in watching television, which was originally in the living room but was transferred to the room being occupied by the nun and the tiny Magic God on the request of the former. Once can really hear the laughs and self-conversation of the nun as she was in control of the remote.

"Index really never changes." Kamijou, who was escorting Fukiyose into his bed as she holds her right arm, moaned. "Maybe it was all for the good that Komoe-sensei had offered us to live here or else, I would really suffer a headache right now."

'You're right, Kamijou." Fukiyose had to agree to his statement. "But they are really loud in the other room. Maybe you should stop them from watching television at night."

"If I do that, Index would simply go wild and angry and would vent her violent anger towards me. Kamijou sighed, not wanting to be on the receiving end of the nuri's bite attacks. "Aside from that, her favourite television show happens to be aired at night as well so there's really nothing that I can do to stop her."

Fukiyose grunted but said nothing more. In a few seconds, they had reached their bed. The bed is quite wide as it can accommodate two people while still spacey enough. Remembering what Heaven Canceller said, Kamijou places the pregnant teen to the left side and told her to sleep in her left side. Nodding, Fukiyose lies in the bed and waits as Kamijou still had to change into his sleeping clothes. After that, they were set for the first night of sleeping together in a bed (and sleeping in a real bed for the boy) as Fukiyose turns off the lamp.

At first, they were having a hard time sleeping. Kamijou would turn his body, almost kicking the girl off the bed. Fukiyose was also getting problems going to sleep as it seemed that her eyes refused to shut close. But eventually, they were able to sleep after a few minutes as they were now comfortable enough in their king-sized bed. In a few minutes, they are both sleeping in peace as Kamijou is close to Fukiyose with his arms holding her waist. Fukiyose, who is sleeping sideways to the left, is holding her baby bump as the two are close to each other.

Meanwhile, Index, who was still watching, then said to Othinus. "Neh, don't you think something is weird?"

"What do you mean?" Othinus asked, now content that Sphynx the Calico cat won't reach her into her new doll house which had a lock.

"I mean is Touma doesn't usually sleep in a bed. He usually sleeps on the wash room and with a woman at this point." Index growled as she was inching to tip-toe into the room of her partner.

"Well, you were actually occupying the bed of the human back in that dorm so he had no choice but to sleep in the tub." Othinus had to point out that important fact.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

Today you will learn some shocking news. You'll have a friend who needed someone he or she can rely on for today and be there for him or her. Today's lucky item is a bag full of Gekota plushes.

Upon listening to the morning horoscope she had played in their radio, Misaka Mikoto, the Level 5 Railgun, retreated from his room and down to eat her breakfast at the Tokiwadai dormitory's hall. Listening to horoscopes isn't really something that Misaka even takes on seriously but she does it out of fun and curiosity. Nothing will be lost in listening to stupid fortune-telling shows.

"Onee-sama, good morning." Misaka's best friend and underclassma, the Level 4 Teleporter Shirai Kuroko was already waiting for her downstairs to eat their breakfast together. "I know you don't care much but next week is going to be your birthday, onee-sama. What is your plans for May 2?" The girl in aubum hair asked rather too

excitedly as her eyes twinkled in anticipation of her senpal's response.

"To be honest, I'm not really sure." Misaka scratched her head as she realized she hasn't planned anything yet for her birthday next week. "Maybe we can just go out and hang out with Saten and Uiharu and it'll be my treat..."

"Really onee-sama?! Yay!" Shirai was beying ecstatic as she then lunged into the Misaka. "For your blessings, I'll

She feel short of completing her sentence as she felt a hard jab in her jaw and ended up crashing in the tiles.

"Stop right there, Kuroko." Misaka warned her as she was raising her fists. "Don't do something that will prompt me to really punish you ten times than what I usually give."

Y-Yes...onee-sama..." Despite receiving a blow in the head, Shirai looked as if she was more than fine and worse, she seemed to get struck by Cupid as her cheeks remained red. After eating their breakfast, Misaka then proceeded to go to school while went to work for Judgment.

Now a third year in middle school, Misaka felt excited for high school as she thought she had already aced everything in Tokiwadai. But right now, everything seemed to be a bit boring as she just sits in her desk quietly. /just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. She said as she felt the heat of the sun descend upon her while sitting beside the window.

It seems that her prayers has been answered as the day has finally ended and finally, she can go to her favourite resting place, which is none other than the park with the vending machine in it. Going outside ide of the school grounds, she can't help but think and reflect about the past events that involved her, a certain Mental Out, and a certain spiky haired boy. The latter one was especially making her blood boil as she hadn't seen him for a few days since she had destroyed that claw machine back in the carnival. That idiot. Is he trying to hide again from me?

Suddenly, as if by some mere coincidence, she spotted that 'idiot' walking with someone else. She would have deduced that it was none other than the spoiled English nun but looking closely, there is something wrong with this picture.

She's with a woman. A woman who looks to be the same age as his.

Curiously for her, the female teenager had a large tummy that Misaka didn't fail to notice. She didn't know what it means but whatever it is, it's making her blood boil in anger.

Without even thinking first, she shouted. "Hey, you!"

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

"The doctor said that you'll be fine as it is as long as you eat the right type of meal. Kamijou said to the pregnant Fukiyose as they were now both walking home. Kamijou was lucky to have his classes dismissed earlier so she was able to bring her live-in partner to Heaven Canceller's hospital. They were told to have her check-up and that in the summer vacation, they can go back to the hospital so that they can finally determine whether their baby would be a male or a female. Thus, Kamijou and Fukiyose are actually very excited for the summer vacation to come.

After the hospital, they had to go to Seventh Mist first to buy their necessary essentials. The couple bought a fresh set of new clothes, especially for the pregnant teen, new ingredients for their dinner tonight, and some A4 paper that the boy would use for encoding documents for Index.

"So... how's your work with Komoe-sensei?" Fukiyose asked, wanting to make sure that her classmate (and future hubby) doesn't tire out too soon.

"I'm fine. It's nothing, to be honest. It's a lot easier than having to deal with Index..." Kamijou grimaced. Fukiyose can't help but giggle to that secretly.

They were walking peacefully until the boy suggested that they take a detour in the park as a way of reaching their apartment faster. The girl nodded and they continued walking until they reached the wide park with the bench and the famous vending machine that was so prone to breaking down that Kamijou's 2000 Yen bill was once eaten by the machine and he only got his due back thanks to the intervention of a certain someone.

Speaking of that certain someone..

"Wew, I'm surprised that I haven't seen Misaka here.." Kamijou said as they quickly stopped by the vending machine and put on a coin to get his drink. "Woah, this machine worked for once." Suddenly, he then got alarmed as it seemed that this day is getting fine as usual. Uhm....I think I should prepare for the worst.

After getting his soda, he and Fukiyose resumed walking. For a while, Kamijou thought he was out of danger.

Until...

"Hey, you!"

Ah crap! Kamijou knew that getting his drink from the vending machine unscathed had a price to pay. And it happened through the appearance of Misaka Mikoto. The same Misaka that once zapped the boy out of petty fights, the same person who had helped him a lot of times, and the same person who has been very much on his case.

In other words, Misaka Mikoto is inevitable.

"Kamijou?" Fukiyose temporarily stopped when she heard the familiar voice of Misaka call out to his hubby but Kamijou squeezed her hands and said in a serious tone. "Don't look back. We'll just keep walking." Apparently, he didn't have any more time to talk with the ace of Tokiwadal.

"Hey, you idiot! Didn't you hear me?!"

Obviously, Misaka was now getting irritated as she calls out one more to the boy. By then, Fukiyose becomes curious and tries to ask Kamijou about the Level 5 Railgun but the boy just kept mum and they just continued walking.

"Oh, I get it! So if you pretend that I don't exist, maybe I'll go away, right?" Misaka immediately deduced and adjusted accordingly. "Sorry to disappoint you but I won't!"

Kamijou just rolled his eyes and just kept walking while gripping Fukiyose's hands in his palms. They were just about to step out of the park's premises when Kamijou heard a crackle of electricity not far from where they are. Right. I just have to sort this out immediately...

"Just what do you want, Misaka?" Finally, Kamijou was compelled to stop walking as he then turn around to face the middle school student, who came running towards their direction. Fukiyose was apparently confused as she was pushed into the boy's back. Isn't she the Level 5 Railgun? Why is she talking with Kamijou here?

"What do I want? You weren't noticing me at all!" Misaka shouted as she eyed Fukiyose behind him. "And besides, who is this woman that you are walking with? Why is it that her tummy is big?!" She rudely points at the baby bump, which she wasn't apparently aware yet.

"That's..." Kamijou knew that things like this should have been expected but didn't expect it to be sooner and to be Misaka Mikoto of all people. After Tsuchimikado, this happens. Argh, why do our lives have to be complicated?!

"I'm pregnant." Unexpectedly, Fukiyose spoke up to end the tension that was threatening to explode.

"Oi!" Kamijou was alarmed that his live-in partner dropped the bombshell but Fukiyose retorts, saying. "Do you even think your far-fetched excuses would be believable at best? Besides, it's not like you can-

"That's not the point!" Kamijou replies, now fearing for his life as he faces Misaka, whose face of confusion turns into an expression of tranquil fury.

"Uh... Misaka-san..."

"So...let me get this straight?" Misaka's accent is terse right now. "She's pregnant and that the father is...is... you?"

Kamijou knew he was cornered as he just nods slowly.

At that, Misaka didn't say anything as her anger was quadrupled and her hands were clenched and shaking. In a fit of rage, she then blasted her electricity sparks towards Karnijou, who then pushes Fukiyose off the direction of the attack and he ended up cancelling out the attack with his right hand. But as a result, the A4 papers that he bought were reduced to smithereens.

"Misaka, what's your problem?" Kamijou shouts as he quickly picks up his pregnant classmate, who was too frozen (and borderline traumatized) to see the power of the Tokiwadal student. "Had I not cancelled it out, you would have certainly killed out baby!"

"It's your fault! You were not noticing me and you were reckless as well to do something irresponsible!" Misaka yells back, her anger not swaying anytime. "You-"

"You know nothing about what really happened, Misaka." Kamijou shots back as he then leads Fukiyose out of the park.

Even before Misaka can gain back her senses, they were gone now.

What did I just do? The Tokiwadal ace finally realized what she had done as she was left there standing alone.

Suddenly, the horoscope back in the morning was replaying in her mind.

Misaka didn't know if it's just pure coincidence or not but right now, she was feeling weak and feeble right now.

Not long afterwards, she broke down and ended up crying into her knees.

-------‐-----------------------------------------------------

Somewhere in a room, lean fingers were clearly playing with the phone which she used in texting a doctor in the hospital.

"So she did end up being his everything, huh?" She said to herself, letting out a dark chuckle as well as a bitter and pained expression. "I wonder whose eye color the unborn baby would get, hers or my cute kouhai's?"
