My wife is pregnant.

They also remember the time when they found out that Yuki was pregnant.

A random day of their married life became one of the most important ones in their life that day. Yuki was checking if she's pregnant with a pregnancy test. Well, everyday, she checks it, and it always turns out to be negative. But today, something's different.

She checked the pregnancy test, but it was positive, at first she didn't realise it.

"It's negative again just as alwa- WHAT?"

She was surprised. The thought of her becoming a mother was unreal for her. She started crying in happiness. Hiroshi was not home that day, he had to go to work. Therefore, she called him to know about this wonderful news.

Upon hearing the news. Hiroshi was shocked, as she called during his shift, which she normally doesn't do, he thought that it must be something important. And yes, it was important. But he didn't expect such a news to be heard at that time. He was becoming a father in just nine months.

He went to his boss to ask a day off.

"Umm. Hey boss. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Can I get today off?"

"Why? We are already short staffed here."

"My wife is pregnant. She just called."

"What did you just say? Come with me."

He grabbed Hiroshi's hand and took him to his car. There, he drove him to his home in an instant. The boss was a very old and nice man, who knew the gravity of the situation. He has kids who have already grown up. So he knows whats going on. Seeing these two as newlyweds, they are most probably confused about how to react to this situation. He decided to guide them what to do during this time.

Soon enough, they rushed home. Hiroshi went and entered the house. He didn't know how to react. He entered the living room, where he saw Yuki, sitting and panicking about what to do.

Seeing Hiroshi, she became surprised. She didn't expect him to come home this fast. He immediately came and hugged her tightly. They both fall to their knees, hugging each other. For some reason, Yuki started crying. Is she scared?

After some time, she wiped away her tears and said,

"I am going to be mother, right? Isn't it surprising?"

"I am going to be a father too."

The boss was hearing from afar. He didn't enter the house. Well, seems like the advice seemed to have worked perfectly. While on the car, the old man gave him some valuable advice.

"Listen Hiroshi. Immediately after you enter the house, go and give her a tight and warm hug. At this time, she is probably confused of how to react and might start panicking. So you need to calm her down. And only you can do it. She might start to cry after that. So let her calm down. You got it, Hiroshi?"

"I got it"

After they have calmed down a bit, they both thanked the old boss for the advice. But then he said,

"Don't thank me now. Just get in the car, both of you. We are going to the doctor's office."

"Thank you very much for helping us in your old age.", said Hiroshi.

"Just don't worry. It's our responsibility to teach you newlyweds how to handle these situations."

"Again, thank you very much."

They went to the hospital. The doctors said everything was fine and did a checkup. Yuki is definitely pregnant and they should be expecting to have a baby in nine months. Hiroshi still can't believe his ears.

At this time, Yuki came to him and said with a pout on her face,

"No hug?"

"Well, I did give you one just like, half an hour ago?"

"I want more."

"Okay then."

He hugged her again. To which, she was very happy. She wanted attention from him. She is becoming a mother in just nine months time, which feels long, but time was speeding by quickly.

After that, the old man drove them back to their home and gave two more days off for them to prepare. He told Hiroshi almost about what happens during pregnancy, like mood swings, food cravings etc etc. He also told him not to hesitate to call him anytime if he needs help, even in the dead of the night. He is a good guy.

They told this to their close friends, to which, they all responded differently.

When Hiroshi call Eiko, she screamed.

"EHHH? YUKI GOT PREGNANT? HAND OVER THE PHONE TO HER, NOW!"

After that, she and Yuki had a long chat. To his knowledge, Eiko already married and had a kid last year. So she might be giving advice to her on what to do. Meanwhile when he called Yuuji, Ren and Ryoichi in a group call, they congratulated him and teased him. Yuuji went abroad for studying, Ren opened a business and Ryoichi was studying at a university in Tokyo on computer science.

"Man, you did it. Congrats!"

"How long were you two married? Three years?"

"Three years of hard work finally paid off."

"Thanks.", said Hiroshi.

They also messaged everyone they knew, about it. He even messaged that group chat that they made before graduating.

Everyday is now full of surprises, but it is fun being surprised. These fun times truly sticks in the mind no matter how old one gets. It's just these memories that never fades away, never becomes blurry in the mind. One remembers these days till their demise...

After the news of Yuki getting pregnant became normal, everything was going smoothly. But some days were not as smooth as others because of Yuki's unusual mood swings and food cravings.

That day was also one of them. That day, Yuki had the 'innocent toddler' mood. She was like a child, having a finger in her mouth and having bubbly eyes. Hiroshi was amazed.

"Is that... the golden side of Yuki that I have been wanting to see for so long?"

Yuki was looking at him with an innocent, confused of what he was talking about. Hiroshi's mind was just thinking about one thing, and that is,

"Cute. Super cute, very cute."

As she now has the innocent toddler mood, she can't do usual chores. Besides, when Hiroshi tried to leave for work, Yuki stopped him. She wasn't letting Hiroshi go anywhere. Hiroshi had to call the old boss of a day off.

"Hey boss. Can I uhh, get today off."

"Why? Is anything wrong?"

"Mood swings. She isn't letting me go."

"That happens. Okay then."

Now that he got the whole day off. Hiroshi can spend it with Yuki. Her belly is getting larger too. Hiroshi came and sat beside Yuki. She was acting all cutesy. As he sat beside her, she hugged him and laid down on his lap. How can Hiroshi ignore her cuteness?

She was holding Hiroshi's hand all day long, it was sure she wanted attention. But it was like a drug. The more she gets, the more she wants. But Hiroshi didn't mind giving her more and more.

That day, Hiroshi did the cooking. It wasn't as delicious as Yuki's one, but now he knows how to cook , as Yuki taught him how to. Well, Yuki was standing here, holding Hiroshi's sleeve and seeing what he does.

Hiroshi was a little sad, thinking that this side of her would go away after she ate, but to his surprise, it didn't. After she finished eating, she felt sleepy, she was dozing off while sitting.

Hiroshi saw this and put her head down his shoulder to sleep. She slept like a log. As she was sleeping, Hiroshi saw their album where they stored their precious memories together. It was within arms reach, so he grabbed it and was looking at it, flipping page by page and enjoying the nostalgia, in his mind, he was wishing for one thing. That is,

"I wish days like this would come everyday..."
