After an Appointment
The two are now waiting outside for Suzumoto to finish her checkups…
“So, how have you two been doing lately? You know, with Monta close to giving birth, it must be hard for the both of you, especially seeing how you’re looking at the moment” Shida said. She was standing leaning on a wall with crossed arms beside Oda who was sitting with her hands clasped together.
“Oh, umm, we’ve been fine, doing great eve- wait a minute. What about my looks?!” Oda was deep in thought so she replied only after a moment before turning to see Shida trying to hide her laughter.
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe because you look like a pale starving camel.” Shida answered, still trying to force her laughter down.
“Do you have mirror with you-“Oda was about to ask Shida but got interrupted when the doctor, Yone-san, asked for them to come in.
“So how is she doc? Is she hurt anywhere? Is the baby ok? Are both of them fine?” Oda, right when she just entered, immediately started asking the doctor questions one after the other.
“Woah, hold on for a moment. She’s fine. No she’s perfectly fine, same with the baby. And again, yes they are fine. You should really relax a bit Dani, I know you’re worried, but I assure you both will be fine and safe after the delivery.” The doctor said to oda, before continuing “I asked the both of you to come because I want both of you to help and see the ultrasound” the doctor then stood up to get what she needed for the ultra sound
“Heard that, Oda, you should loosen up a bit. Even Yone-san advised you to calm down” Shida said to Oda, grinning a bit.
“I know. You guys always say that to me. Can’t I worry about my wife and our first child?” Oda said crossing her arms and turning away, sulking.
Suzumoto got a bit flustered with what oda said but immediately shook her head and smacked Oda’s head
“Hey what was that for?” oda said turning to Suzumoto holding where she got smacked
“Stop sulking dumbass. What are you? A five year old?” Suzumoto said, pinching oda after
“But-“oda was about to say something, but got interrupted by Yone-san
“Alright let’s get started with the ultra sound”
.
.
.
The ultra sound went well. Yone-san showed them how the baby was doing in Suzumoto’s womb and expressed how impressed she was when she discovered how healthy the baby was. It was Shida’s first time to see the ultra sound, so it was no surprise that she’d get excited about it. Oda teared up a bit again from seeing the ultra sound, no matter how many times, oda would still get emotional whenever they would see the ultra sound. Suzumoto could only smile at them and the ultra sound.
After a while, their appointment was about to end, they just need to listen to the results and advices of Yone-san before going.
“I see that you’ve been taking good care of the baby and yourself, Suzumoto. All of your test showed great results, other than one though. It seems to me that your stress levels have been going up a bit, so you should be a bit more careful, especially with your due coming closer. It might affect the baby” Yone-san said receiving a nod from Suzumoto.
“Before continuing, if you don’t mind me asking, has anything been bugging you lately that’s causing you some stress?” Yone-san asked.
“No, nothing’s been bugging me lately, but rather than something, there is someone. I do appreciate their effort but I wish they could relax a bit.” Suzumoto said “let me guess, its oda isn’t it?” Yone-san said, laughing a bit.
“Bingo” Suzumoto and even Shida said, confirming that what Yone-san said was true.
“I see, well then oda I advise you to take daily breathing exercise, at least a few times during the day to control your nerves a bit. Other than that, there’s nothing to worry about. But I do advice to admit Suzumoto in a hospital a few weeks prior to her due date, because it is possible for her to deliver and give birth to the baby earlier.” Yone-san said, ending their appointment there.
The three were now on their way to the Sugai-Moriya household. They were going to attend their annual reunion, meeting all their old friends.
“hey, oda, since we’re just close by, can you guys drop me off at our studio, my manager just texted to me that I have an emergency meeting to attend right now” Shida said, fiddling with her phone, sending a reply to her manager.
“Alright, I’ll just speed this up a bit” Oda replied, giving a warning this time before slowly speeding so that Shida can arrive on time or a bit earlier.
“What did he say about the meeting?” Suzumoto asked, a bit curious
“Said that I got a sudden offer to model for a magazine because the model that should be doing it had gone down with a fever so they couldn’t make it, making my day off cut short, tsk” Shida said and pouted, a bit sad she had to cut her time with her friends.
“Don’t worry you can still hang out with us. You’ll still attend the reunion later right? Though you’ll be late” Suzumoto said, comforting Shida by patting her shoulder
“Of course I’m attending this time.” Shida instantly said, turning quickly to Suzumoto, startling her a bit
By the way, how will you go there? Do you want us to pick you up later when you finish?” oda butted in, still focused on the road but giving them quick side glances
No it’s fine, it will only yourselves, especially monta. I’ll just figure it out later” Shida said, unbuckling her seatbelt
“Okay. Anyways, we’re here. See you later and stay safe” Oda said, stopping the car at the side
Yeah see you later at the party and stay safe” Suzumoto waved Shida goodbye
Thanks for taking me here. Bye~” Shida waved goodbye in return before going out of the car in a hurry
Oda and Suzumoto are now back on their way to the reunion, but got distracted by something
“Ne~ Dani~ can we go get something to eat on the way~?” Suzumoto asked oda cutely, in which oda immediately agreed but without having a blushing face in return.
“Alright, we still have some time anyways. Where do you want to eat?”
“Somewhere that has Kuri please! ~~~” Suzumoto said with a cheerful and loud voice
“Yosh. To your favorite Mont Blanc café then~” Oda said enthusiastically, speeding up a bit.
“ Yay~ Thank you Dani~~” Suzumoto cheered lifting her hands up and thanking Oda by kissing her cheek while she was driving, before sitting back and looking outside, excited to eat her favorite Mont Blanc again.
After a while they arrived at Suzumoto’s favorite place, “PiEN Café & Bakery” owned by two of their friends, Watanabe Rika and Nagasawa Nanako, and managed with the help of a little helper, Sato Aoi
“Where do you want seat miyu?” Oda asked, her hand on Suzumoto’s hip so she could assist her. But before Suzumoto could answer, someone shouted their name.
“Mon-chan! Dani!” it was Aoi who shouted, running to them even though she was in the middle of her ‘shift’.
“Aoi-chan!” “Gobo-tan!” the two said, opening their arms to hug Aoi. “Mou~ shtop cawwing me gobo-tan~” Aoi whined and hit Oda repeatedly. Oda only laughed while carrying Aoi in her arms and Suzumoto could only smile at their interaction.
“Aoi, there you are!” Rika said and came to them, together with Nagasawa.
“Oh. Hi Mon-chan, Hi Dani” Rika and Nagasawa greeted when she realized it was them who was holding Aoi. Nagasawa extended her arms to Oda so she could carry Aoi.
“Now Aoi-chan, you come with me, you still have to finish your ‘work’ ” Nagasawa said, carrying Aoi over shoulder, walking back to the kitchen so Aoi could finish her ‘work’.
(A.k.a her cooking lessons, Aoi just likes to call it her work since she goes there every day (^-^ ’))
The three then continued to chat for a while before Rika excusing herself since she still has some work to do.
And so, the couple went to seat at a table that was beside a window.
“What would you like to order, miss?” Oda said, standing beside the table
“I’ll have an iced coffee and a Mont Blanc please~” Suzumoto said after looking at the menu
“Alright then, anything else you would like to add, ma’am?” Oda asked, still standing
“Nope” Suzumoto answered, popping the ‘p’ at the end
“Okay, then I’ll go get your order now, gorgeous” Oda said, walking away to the cashier
.
.
.
“Here’s your order, miss beautiful, one iced coffee, one Mont Blanc and a free date with me” Oda served and winked
The two then burst out laughing at what they just did, re-enacting how they had first met
“You dumbass, what was that” Suzumoto said in between her laugh
“What was what?” Oda pretended to not know
“What’s with the adlibs, dumbass” Suzumoto said still laughing
Oda still continued to pretend she didn’t know and said she remembered saying all of that
And that was how they would spend their time together after an appointment.
The two would often decide on a whim when they want to go somewhere,
But would just end up going somewhere to eat out,
And just spend some time together at the place or area until the sun had gone down.
Now, anything else you guys would like to say or ask *raising an eyebrow*
Suzumoto: No, we’re fine
Oda: But- *got pinched on the hip secretly by Suzumoto*
Suzumoto: I said we’re fine, right dumbass *giving oda a look*
Oda: yes ma’am *bowing her head*
Okay…
Well then,
