UNEXPECTED REVEAL. . .

— DOMESTIC AU! once again
— of course. . .older!amanene

Evening fell and Nene sighed, a thin layer of her own breath visible to her naked eye. There was guilt and sadness painfully burning in her chest, eating her guts out the more time that passed. Each tick of the clock, each hour, each minute that passed by, Nene began to feel tears pooling in her eyes, the warm sensation making her blink and her tears fall.

How will he react?

She can't just go up to him and straight up tell him that — no! That will only scare him off. And Nene doesn't want to scare her own husband off.

She can't just blurt out there's a baby inside her.

Shoving the test result aside, she slammed her hands on the sink with brute force, frustration climbing up and making its way to her brain and clouded her mind and judgement. Stupid, this is your fault in the first place! Nene lifted her head and glared at her own reflection. Tears began to dry on her cheeks and stain her skin from the chill that surrounded the room, goosebumps rising on her skin as a shiver passed by.

Thoughts that would be her nightmare swarmed her mind and stitched itself permanently in her brain, repeating over and over again: what if he leaves? Nene bit the back of her knuckles, punishing herself for ever thinking that way. She's known her husband long enough to say that Amane isn't cruel. Amane isn't heartless. But maybe. . ?

"Nene?"

Speak of the devil.

The said woman jumped in surprise at the voice of the newcomer, feeling her stomach drop in fear. Amane wasn't supposed to come home early. Don't panic, Nene!

Hey, Amane, I have some news. . . No, that would make it sound like it's bad — the only thing bad about being pregnant is when Amane is disgusted by it.

Amane, I may or may not be pregnant. . . Yeah, that's better. A bit more approachable and stupid.

I have the bun in the oven thing that everyone uses. . . Nene doesn't even know if she used it correctly. And that's a pretty dumb reveal — she needs something more deep and romantic because this is a baby! This is Amane's baby! This baby will be born someday in this world, with the eyes of his/hers father, or maybe Nene's if she's lucky.

"I'm pregnant, damn it!" She harshly whispered to herself, not expecting to see a mirror behind her through the mirror, mouth agape and eyes wide. Panicked, Nene turned around and tried to explain herself, but she couldn't seem to form a coherent sentence as her mouth opened and close like a fish out of water. "A-Amane!" She managed to utter out.

"You're. . .pregnant?" He breathed out.

There was no backing out now. Nene took a deep breath, trembling a bit from the loud beat of her heart and her mind going haywire. Your hands are shaking. She didn't even realize until she lifted it to beckon Amane closer, seeing as she can't find the courage to speak louder.

Timid as ever, Nene mumbled, "Amane, I've been wanting to tell you for a while now. And. . .it was just killing me a bit because I feel bad for hiding something so important. I'm sorry—"

Amane placed a finger on her lips and smiled, contrast to Nene's pout and teary eyes. "I'm just glad that I finally know now. You aren't. . .messing with me or anything, right? Because I'll cry if you're joking with me."

Nene huffed a laugh. "Why would I joke about something like this?"

Isn't it stupid? She's stupid for even thinking that Amane would abandon her. His eyes held so much care and adoration that Nene felt bad for thinking she ever doubted him — Amane has the heart of gold no matter how many times he tried to hide it.

And now. . .another person is able to have the same purity. Boy or girl, Nene was more than sure that their child will own the same loving eyes.

And Yashiro couldn't just wait.
