Chapter 22

(This chapter will bounce around a lot because sorry guys but I really did NOT want to write like five chapters of Natsuki being preggos so I did it all in one. Sorry not sorry everyone!)

Natsuki bit her lip hard as the procedure went on seemingly forever.

"We're almost done, ma'am." The doctor said, trying to calm her nerves.

Yuri held her hand tightly, smiling at her.

After a few more minutes she was cleared to leave, getting in the back of Monika's car since she couldn't very well feel her legs enough to drive her own vehicle.

She leaned against Yuri, sighing as she tapped her numbing leg.

"How ya feeling, Ski?" Monika asked, looking at her friend from the mirror.

"Pregnant." Natsuki joked with a smirk.

Monika rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"I meant the pain meds." she clarified.

"Yeah, I know... Numb from the waist down, but not enough that I can't move them." Natsuki shrugged.

She lifted her right knee for reference, making Yuri smile and rub her arm up and down supportively.

Natsuki grinned back and leaned closer, silently asking for a kiss.

Yuri chuckled and met her halfway, giving her a short but sweet kiss to her lips.

"You guys are still adorable." Monika snickered, making the married couple blush and nervously back away.

"Shut up..." Natsuki grumbled, clinging to Yuri's arm sleepily.

Yuri chuckled and brushed some hair from her wife's face, smiling lovingly down at her.

~~~

"Natsuki, you should be resting!" Yuri scolded as she saw her wife seated at the kitchen table on her phone.

"I'm okay, Yuri. I just finished a call with Sayori." Natsuki giggled, rolling her eyes.

"Still..." Yuri came over and picked Natsuki up, moving her wife's legs to wrap around her waist, "You shouldn't have wandered out here by yourself."

"I'm not a baby, Yuri!" Natsuki blushed when the woman picked her up and huffed.

"You're carrying one~" Yuri argued with a grin, referring to the fact that Natsuki was already two months pregnant.

Natsuki whined and punched her shoulder, blushing deeper.

"Shut up!" She said in a shrill voice.

Yuri giggled and leaned in, kissing Natsuki gently as the fiery pinkette soon calmed down and relaxed against her.

"You can't keep this up for nine whole months, ya know... I still have to go to work and stuff..." Natsuki pouted.

"Watch me." Yuri winked with a smirk, moving to walk Natsuki back to their bed.

"I'll get fat if I just sit around for nine months! Yuriiiii!" Natsuki whined as her wife set her down.

"You'll be beautiful no matter how you look~" Yuri purred, clearly enjoying her wife's temper tantrum.

"This baby's already gonna add forty pounds! I don't need another sixty from being a slob in bed for nine months!" Natsuki huffed angrily.

"I'll feed you healthy foods so it won't add that much!" Yuri grinned.

"That's not the point and you know it, baka dummy!" Natsuki crossed her arms.

Yuri chuckled and leaned over, kissing Natsuki's forehead.

"I know I know... Just bear with me until I get used to a literal person growing inside you." Yuri grinned.

Natsuki rolled her eyes and sighed, nodding.

"Fine... Geez... You're lucky I love you..." Natsuki turned her head as her face filled with blush.

"You don't just love me.... You can't live without me~!" Yuri giggled like a young child.

Natsuki reached out and placed her hand over Yuri's face, shoving her back so roughly that the tall woman fell flat on the ground.

"Idiot...." Natsuki grumbled.

~~~

Natsuki came home from work to a stern faced Yuri waiting by the front door.

"Natsuki! How many times have I told you not to ride your motorcycle?!" Yuri scolded.

"At least twice every few weeks." Natsuki rolled her eyes.

"This is serious! The baby's in the developmental stage right now! What if the vibrations cause something to move where it shouldn't be?! Did you know there are cases of babies who were born with their hearts in their abdomens?!" Yuri said, exasperated.

"Yuri, calm down! It was just this once! I'm sure the baby will be just fine!" Natsuki said calmly, setting her helmet and belt by the door.

She bent to take her shoes off, grunting a bit.

"Let me..." Yuri sighed, helping Natsuki take her sneakers off.

Natsuki smiled in appreciation and moved to sit on the couch, reclining a bit.

Yuri placed her hand over the small bump forming, grinning with love in her eyes.

"Four months down, five to go..." Natsuki sighed, tossing her head back at the thought.

Yuri chuckled and gently kissed her jaw just below her chin, making Natsuki shiver slightly.

"Just you wait. I'm sure it will pass by in no time at all!" Yuri encouraged, holding Natsuki close.

~~~

"God dam- Yuri!" Natsuki called out, frustrated.

Yuri bounded up the stairs lightning quick.

"Yes, dear?" She asked, panting slightly.

Natsuki growled and pointed to the baby-proofed toilet, sealed shut.

"Oh, right. Sorry!" Yuri unlatched it, chuckling nervously.

Natsuki pointed to the door as Yuri immediately took the hint and left the room.

"Fucking geez...." Natsuki sighed.

She looked down and patted her stomach, rubbing it a bit.

"Your mama is absolutely insane." She spoke to the seven month old hump on her belly.

~~~

"Sayo, save me~!" Natsuki whined.

"I can't! I'm almost at the end!" Sayori replied.

"But Cowser keeps throwing blue crab shells at my car!" Natsuki growled.

"Just swerve around him!" Sayori said.

The strawberry blonde jumped to her feet and cheered loudly as she crossed the finish line in first place.

Monika and Yuri watched from the kitchen table, snickering at their wives' behaviors.

"I got you!" Sayori came over behind Natsuki, putting a leg on either side of her as she sat on the back of the couch to appear as if she were on Natsuki's shoulders.

She took the offered controller as Natsuki's character finally made it past the difficult part and finished in fifth.

"You're life sav- Ow!" Natsuki winced, clutching her stomach.

Yuri and Sayori instantly snapped to attention as Yuri rushed to her side and Sayori came around to inspect the issue.

"What's wrong?!" Yuri asked, alarmed.

"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Natsuki said blankly, trying to stand.

Sayori hooked an arm under Natsuki's lifting her to her feet.

They took a few slow steps before a loud splash was heard.

"Monika... Start the car." Sayori said quietly.

"W-What?!" Monika jumped up from the table finally.

"Her water just broke and she looks really pale! Start the car!" Sayori shrieked, making the older women jump at her tone.

Yuri rushed over to help Natsuki stand as Monika flew towards the door to go rev up her engine.

"Nat, you'll be okay. It's okay. We're taking you to the hospital right now." Sayori said calmly as Natsuki nodded weakly, her head swaying and resting against Yuri's shoulder.

Yuri looked about ready to explode, her heart racing faster than it ever had before.

They carefully set Natsuki in the passenger's seat, both women climbing into the back and buckling.

Monika reached over and gently helped secure Natsuki to her seat as the woman hissed in pain.

"Moni, go!" Sayori sat up in her seat, her entire face showing fear.

Monika slammed her foot on the gas pedal, racing towards the hospital as fast as she could without breaking the law.

Once they got there, the car hasn't even fully stopped before Sayori jumped out and sprinted towards the emergency entrance.

Two men came over almost immediately, pulling a gurney along between them.

Sayori opened her door as the men slowly helped Natsuki lay on it.

Natsuki groaned as her eyes wandered towards her wife, licking her blueing lips she opened her mouth to call out to her.

"Yuri..." She mumbled, making the panicked violet haired woman rush to her side and grip her hand tightly.

"Sayori, what's wrong with her?!" Monika asked as they were rushed into the building.

"I don't know! I've never seen anything like this! S-She looks in so much pain... I don't know what to do!" Sayori panicked, keeping pace with Monika as they followed the gurney.

"Someone please get me some damn scrubs!" Sayori called, making almost everyone's eyes widen at her language.

A tall nurse ran over with some scrubs and gloves as Sayori tried pulling them on as they walked quickly.

She finished as they opened the doors, stopping Monika from coming any closer.

"It's okay, pumpkin..." Monika kissed Sayori tenderly, "Go!"

Sayori turned and ran towards the gurney holding her best friend, sweating from both panic and the exercise.

Please let her be okay... Please let her baby be okay...
