Rochelle offered a smile, a nod of the head, and accepted the gown. “Arigato.”
The nurse gave her a beautiful, bright smile and exited the room leaving her alone. She quickly stood up and stripped, changing into the gown. It barely covered anything and she prayed the doctor wasn’t the one coming back. She wasn’t that lucky.
* * * *
Raiden thought he’d definitely age with every passing minute no one told him what was happening. They took Rochelle away and he started panicking. He didn’t like her throwing up. He tried going over everything she had eaten since arriving in Japan—since arriving at his house. They went to a restaurant a couple of times—she didn’t have the Fugu, he made sure. He refused to eat that thing and wouldn’t let anyone he loved eat it. The fish is poison, if you cut it wrong. He rubbed a hand over his face and paced back the other way.
He looked at the door to find it still closed. Trying to keep his mind occupied he faced the glass panes and stared at nothing in particular. He could, however, see Rochelle’s face and the smile she’d given him as he fussed over her.
It’s probably a stomach bug.
He hoped so. With a frustrated groan he pressed a hand against the glass.
“Oh God, please don’t take her from me,” he whispered with his head bowed and eyes closed. He wasn’t a praying man but losing Rochelle scared him more than he ever thought possible. Finally he couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked over to the nurse’s desk and leaned in.
“Kanojo ga, doko desu ka?”
The nurse looked up at him and Raiden was about ready to spit fire.
“Your girlfriend is almost finished,” she told him. “Doctor Yamamoto will be out to speak with you in a few minutes.”
“And when you say a few minutes—” The sound of Rochelle’s voice interrupted Raiden. He swung around and rushed to her, pulling her into his arms.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know yet. Doctor Yamamoto says he wanted to talk to both of us, come on.”
Raiden allowed her to lead him down the corridor. He smiled down at her when she looked up into his face and knocked onto the doctor’s office door. They were told to enter and he walked in after her. They both sat down, and he reached over to hold her hands. He trusted Doctor Yamamoto immensely. The older doctor had been his doctor ever since their parents died. He was there for them when no one else wanted to take in two boys in their teens. He made sure they went to school and protected them.
“Is she going to be all right?” Raiden questioned.
When the doctor answered him in Japanese he turned shocked eyes at Rochelle before asking the doctor if he was certain.
“What?” Rochelle wanted to know squeezing her hand.
“Uh…” Raiden turned to look at her with a grin on his face. “You’re pregnant!” He grinned proudly.
“Don’t look so proud of yourself.” She laughed and felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She leaned in to kiss his lips.
The doctor shook Raiden’s hand, speaking in quick Japanese. The doctor’s words came so quickly that all Raiden really heard was, “…kongurachure-shonzu, Raiden-Chan.”
“Arigato,” Raiden whispered.
He watched the doctor’s exiting back with widened eyes then turned to face his woman, feeling so proud. He leaned over to give her a proper kiss.
“You’re carrying my baby. My osanago.”
* * * *
Rochelle suspected she was pregnant the moment the doctor started drawing her blood. Normally a nurse would have done that but he did it personally. She arched a brow after Raiden sat back to look at her quite pleased with himself.
“The doctor is an old friend of yours?”
“Why do you ask?”
“He did everything personally.”
“Yes. He is like a second father to me and Daitaro. He took care of us until we were old enough to fend for ourselves after our parents died. Sure we lived in the house by ourselves but he stopped by, made sure we were going to school, eating, sleeping—like a real father would have.”
Rochelle nodded and leaned forward to press her face against his chest. “What did he say before leaving?”
Raiden went silent so she sat up to study his eyes. She saw reluctance in his face and she touched his cheek. “Zero?”
“He said—you wouldn’t be the woman he would have picked for me. But he saw how much I loved you so he gave us his blessings.”
“I guess we’re going to get that a lot.”
“Yes. Daitaro said the same thing. You see, Koibito, Daitaro, Nia and Yamamoto-Isha matter in my life. But the truth is, I would love you even if they hated the idea.”
Rochelle smiled at him and rested her head back against his chest. “So, a baby.”
“Hai. Our baby.”
“Are you happy about it? I mean if you don’t want to be a father now I can understand. I have seen men love women but not the children.”
“Are you kidding? I want this child more than you’ll ever understand. I am so proud of myself right now.”
“And why is that?” She lifted her head and peered at him.
“Because, it has to be a record. Two weeks later and I knocked you up.”
Rochelle smacked him in the arm and laughed. “You behave yourself.”
“Why?” He pouted. “Being bad is so much better.”
“It seems being bad is what got us here in the first place.”
“Admit it, you love it.”
Rochelle giggled and kissed his chin. “I will admit nothing. Now take me home so I can call Maylee.”
“Yes, Koibito.” He stole a kiss and a quick grope of her breast before complying.
* * * *
After returning home, Raiden made her tea and a sandwich. While she called Maylee, he darted into the den to call Daitaro. He would hate for his brother to hear the news of becoming an uncle from the media or the doctor.
“Hello?” Daitaro replied. Raiden could tell he interrupted his brother’s meal.
“Daitaro, you’re about to be an uncle!” Raiden blurted out.
“Subtle, Zero. Real subtle.”
“Sorry. I couldn’t help it. She’s going to have a baby, Dai.”
“That has to be some kind of record. What’s it been? Two—three weeks?”
“That’s what I said!”
“You’re incorrigible! So are we celebrating? I could bring Nia and she could bring her boyfriend. Am I the only one not getting laid these days?”
Raiden chuckled. “Let me run it by Rochelle. She’s been throwing up and I freaked out and rushed her to the hospital.”
Daitaro laughed. He laughed so hard, he broke out into a round of coughing. Raiden made a face staring at the phone blankly for a while before pressing it back to his ear. “What’s so funny?”
“Otouto, with the amount of sex you two had in the last two weeks how could you not know she is pregnant?”
Raiden frowned. “You’re an ass. I’ll call you later.”
“Hey, Zero?”
“Yeah?”
“Omedeto Otouto—congratulations.”
Raiden grinned. “Thanks.”
With a shake of his head, he hung up and made a few other calls.
* * * *
Rochelle giggled and held the phone from her ear. She had told her best friend she is pregnant and Maylee showed her happiness by screaming loud enough to wake the dead.
“I’m gonna be an aunt!” Maylee called happily.
“Yes. You’re going to be an aunt. I wanted to let you know before it gets all over the Japanese media.”
“Well yeah, that’s true. Raiden is kind of an icon over there. So, it’s been two weeks? That man’s soldiers are marching.”
“May!” Rochelle gasped and burst out laughing just as Raiden walked to the door. She watched him as he stood there, slowly removing his clothes.
There is something so damn sexy about a man doing a strip-tease.
She loved the way h
e locked his gaze on her while undoing his buckle. She smirked at him knowing fully well that he would pay her back for the time he was on the phone and she went down on him. He stepped from his pants and worked on his shirt. When his abs came to view she could scarcely breathe. He began touching himself, stroking down his chest, over his abs, then up to his nipples. She licked her lips, and stuck her tongue at him showing she wanted a taste.
“Oh my Lord, you should see what I’m looking at right now.”
Maylee laughed. “Do I want to know?”
Rochelle couldn’t reply. Raiden stood there stark naked holding his hard cock in one hand and stroking. She bit against her lower lip, eyeing him like a wolf would its prey.
“Chelle?” Maylee’s voice sounded worried.
“May, I gotta go… I’ll call you later.”
Before Maylee could answer, Rochelle hung up and slipped from the bed. She stood before her man, grabbed his cock and shoved his hand away.
“Do you want it, Rochelle?” he asked, tangling his hands in her hair and savagely taking her lips.
She squeezed and he groaned. “What do you think?” She turned her back to him, slipped from the pajamas she still wore and smiled at him over her shoulder. “Come on, Zero—remind me how good you are with that thing.”
She bowed her head and purred when he found her entrance and sank home.
A few hours passed before Raiden allowed her out of bed. He glanced at the clock and frowned. He hadn’t called Daitaro back.
“Koibito?” he called to her in the bathroom.
“Yeah?”
“Daitaro wanted to have a little get together for us later here. He wants to celebrate the baby. Are you up for it?”
“Sure—” she replied. “I seem to only have morning sickness that happens only in the mornings so that’s good. And since I’m not that pregnant yet, I don’t mind people seeing me.”
Raiden chuckled. “You will look as sexy as ever.”
“No, I’ll be as big as a house.”
He slipped from the bed and walked to the bathroom door. Sticking his head in, he saw her inspecting her stomach and grinned. “You haven’t gotten any bigger since this morning, baby. Don’t worry about it—you don’t have to be sexy to any other man but me.”
She pouted at him. He reached in and kissed her lips. “No matter what, you’ll look marvellous. I’d still want to—how is it the rappers say?—tap that?”
“Raiden Rei!” she gasped with a laugh. “You are so not gangster.”
“I know. I think they call the Japanese version the Yakuza.” He hauled her into his arms and kissed her soundly. “Now get ready, I’m going to call the herd and they will descend on this house with enough food to feed a small army.”
When she laughed, he couldn’t help but kiss her again before she playfully shoved him from the bathroom and closed the door. He grinned like a fool while reaching for the phone again. Calling his brother, the two made plans and Raiden entered the bathroom again. He stripped down and snuck into the shower with Rochelle. She didn’t have time to argue; the moment Raiden stepped in, he plunged deep within her.
“I can’t stay away,” he whispered helplessly. “So addictive.”
Epilogue
Rochelle watched Raiden and Daitaro through the screen door in the backyard. They had arrived back in Canada when she was five months pregnant. Raiden hadn’t liked the idea of her flying but after she told him they would fly in the private plane, he reluctantly agreed. He brought the whole tribe—Daitaro, Jeff and Nia. Jeff and Nia swiftly made their way to the CN Tower leaving the others at Rochelle’s house. Rochelle shook her head and turned her attention to Maylee who was busy reciting Japanese words to the baby.
“Do you seriously think the baby can hear you?” Rochelle questioned.
“It’s not too early to teach the baby a new language and will you please find out what sex the baby is? It’s really strange saying the baby all the time and I refuse to say it.”
Rochelle grinned. “Well his or her father doesn’t want to know. He wants to be shocked when it arrives. “
Maylee giggled and peered outside leaning in to whisper to Rochelle, “Is he single?”
“Who—oh you mean Dai? Yes he is. You like?”
“Oh yeah. Maylee like a lot.”
Rochelle laughed. “You’re dirty. I thought you didn’t go for Japanese boys?”
“I don’t—didn’t. I mean look at him! The man is beautiful and that smile—” Maylee trailed off into a sigh and Rochelle had to agree with her. The Rei boys had something about them that left women breathless and confused and she loved that about Raiden. Grinning, she stuck her head out the window.
“Would you two stop being anti social and get your butts back in the house?”
“Hold on, babe.” Raiden waved. She watched him turn back to his brother and suddenly an overwhelming happiness surged through her. She watched them walk inside and instantly Raiden walked over to pull her into his arms for a kiss.
“Missed me?” He smirked at her.
“Like hem...” She trailed off and placed a hand over her stomach. “Whoa!”
Raiden frowned and bent over to speak to her stomach. “Stop kicking me! I saw her first.”
Rochelle giggled at the father of her baby arguing with his unborn child and ran her fingers through his soft hair. Raiden’s hair was a turn on for her and since he refused to make out with her she would take all she could get. He thought sex would hurt the baby—then again she wouldn’t want to be poked in the head either.
“Dai, you hungry?” she asked since Maylee was too busy blushing.
“Don’t do that.” Raiden grinned. “Feed him and he’ll never leave.”
Maylee smiled walking over to take Daitaro’s hand. “I’ll feed him—don’t worry.”
Daitaro laughed and wiggled his brows suggestively while Maylee led him from the room.
“You know she’s smitten right?” Rochelle asked, allowing Raiden to pull her into his lap on the sofa. “I think your brother will be married within the next two years.”
“Really?” Raiden grinned, kissing her cheek. “You’re giving them that long?”
Rochelle turned and peered at him thoughtfully for a bit then nodded her head. “You’re right, a year and a half because Maylee has to cut him out of some horrid habits.”
“Horrid habits? I assure you, m’lady, my brother has no horrid habits. Rei men are practically perfect in every way.”
Rochelle giggled at his Mary Popins reference and relaxed against him. His hand pressed against her stomach and the baby kicked again. “I think we’re having a boy,” she whispered.
“Hmm?”
“The way he kicks—I think it’s a boy.”
“I’ll be happy with either.”
“I’m just saying,” she whispered.
Rochelle turned to press a kiss to Raiden’s brow.
