Chapter 34: The Symptoms

It has been the nth time that Ryohei woke up to Yuki's throwing up. Since Yuki found it difficult to rush to the toilet with his big belly, he requested to prepare a pail by the bedside. Whenever he felt like vomiting, he would just ought to fetch the pail. Then he or Ryohei would clean the content and return to the bed.

At Yuki's seventh months, he has been enduring nausea and vomiting. He had fever frequently and his whole body was aching until he could not walk properly. Even though his feet have swollen since his fifth months, he just had these problems recently. From monthly check ups, Yamato never sensed anything unusual because Yuki's body was literally improving unless the rocketing blood pressure. Ryohei has been helping him despite going to work in the morning, triggering massive guilt in Yuki.

He has been apologizing each time Ryohei bathed him. He has been crying each time Ryohei fed him porridge with meds. He has been sobbing in Ryohei's arms before going to sleep. Terrified of being left alone, he could not help but to toughen up, yet he failed miserably. It was as if he was paralyzed and crippled, at some point he could not even lift a hand.

As for the husband, Ryohei could not stop blaming himself. If only he could control his sexual lust, if only he could handle his own desire, if only he could discourage Yuki to keep the babies, Yuki would not have to experience such sickness. It was much more intense than how he was during Yuki's first trimester. He acknowledged Yuki's wish to create a family with Ryohei, but he despised it if it meant to cause harm to Yuki.

"Honey, I'm sorry," Ryohei's one hand squeezed Yuki's, while the other one caressed Yuki's belly. He felt the movement from the inside, and at the same time Yuki hissed in pain. "Children, don't bother Mother too much, okay?"

Deep inside, Yuki loved being pampered, but not to the extend of burdening Ryohei. Ryohei could not take extra working hours due to Yuki's dependence on him, and he was lucky that the manager and his colleague understood his situation. However, he did not reveal to them his wife was pregnant. He just told them the wife was suffering an illness.

He did not want them to misjudge Yuki. Yuki has already had enough.

It was in a broad daylight. Yuki figured out that he was sweating as much. His pounding heart might be the reason, however he could not calm himself down. He even huffed as he sensed his babies pressed against his ribcage. Moreover, the babies moved a little more violent than usual.

"Wh- What happened?"

Yuki was panicked as his stomach cramped, bringing him to moan. The excruciating pain ripped across his body. He lied on his one side, clutching on the pillow beneath his head and his belly simultaneously. He sweated profusely as if he stood right underneath the scorching sun.

Recalling Ryohei has placed his phone on the bedside drawer, with his shivering limb he looked for it. Once he found it, he tried doing the gesture shortcuts Ryohei has taught him beforehand. It was an instant dialler to contact the numbers listed in Favourites.

"Helo, Yuki?"

Judging from the voice, Yuki knew it was not Ryohei. Somehow he could not end the call just simply, especially when his stomach was extremely killing him. "Doc- Dr. Yamato. H- Help- me."

"Yuki!" It was a frantic calling by Yamato, "Are you sick? Tell me!"

"Y- Yes," Yuki's voice stuttered, "It- is so- hurtful. I- can't- get up. I w- wanted to call- Ryohei, b- but I accid- dentally called- you instead."

"I'm coming to you! Please wait there and don't go anywhere!" Then Yamato ceased the conversation.

It would be better if Ryohei was around - he wanted to see his husband as his source of strength. According to his reading during his pregnancy, the sickness he had were signs of active labour, but he has only reached his seventh months. There was impossible that he would have to give birth to his babies premature.

From inside the bedroom, Yuki heard someone was knocking. It must be Yamato, hence Yuki would just let him entering the house freely. Ryohei has already disclosed a secret spot he used to hide the spare key of the house.

"Doc- Dr Yama-"

"I'm home, my love."

There was no one around him except that man. The one coming to Yuki was not Yamato, and he was not even Ryohei. Yuki gasped in disbelief, together with the cramps from within his belly.

"So you are really pregnant, Yuki," the man licked his lips lustfully. "Look how big you are now! You're sexier!" Then the man guffawed.

"Wh- Wh- What do- you want- Kawanishi?" Even though Yuki could not see the identity, he could differentiate who the man was from the voice.

The man called Kawanishi put off his clothes almost instantly, disclosing his hardened member. He was getting excited after seeing the pregnant Yuki. Despite the big belly, Yuki had more curve as his boobs and butt have enlarged, suiting his body as a mother.

"I really miss you, Yuki," Kawanishi hopped onto the bed, bouncing it a little, "Oh, how I wish to devour your body in this condition. You look so sexy."

The man named Kawanishi rubbed his member against Yuki's lower bump. Yuki's member was surprisingly tiny, but it was still there and reacted when Kawanishi rubbed his member on it.

"Your body was more honest than you, Yuki," Kawanishi flipped Yuki so that Yuki would repose on his back. "I wonder if this is really your baby with Ryohei, or mine."

Yuki panted as Kawanishi pinned him down. Kawanishi leant over his belly and stripped him, exposing his swollen chest.

"Wow! You sure are becoming woman! You have boobs!" Kawanishi bit Yuki's nipple until it turned red. There was some liquid discharged from it. "Wait. You are lactating!"

"Get- Get out- from my- house," Yuki could not yell, so he clenched his teeth and threatened Kawanishi. "My- husband will- return soon-"

Kawanishi jeered at the helpless blind. "Ryohei is a very diligent worker. He will not leave his job just because of a whore like you!"

A harsh slap landed right at Yuki's chubby cheek. It flushed as the result. Yuki panted in ache and shivered in terror - nothing came up to his mind to guess what Kawanishi was going to do to him.

"I don't think this is Ryohei's baby," Kawanishi patted on Yuki's belly, "Wow! It responded to me!"

"It's- because- my babies- want to- shoo- you," Yuki immersed his face into the pillow while resisting to his throbbing opening and cramping belly. "They are- Ryohei- and my- babies."

"Kawanishi!!"

Kawanishi was just turning around to see who has interrupted his moment with his beloved Yuki as a fist was shot at his cheekbone. He could not react to Yamato's courageous punch to get him away from the half-awoken Yuki.
