POV Geto

"Geto you are all checked out. Perfect health. I don't see anything that would hinder your technique." Shoko crosses her legs and leans against her desk frowning.

"If you say so." I hunch over placing my hands on the sides of me while sitting shirtless on the cold metal table.

"You're taking your antidepressants?"

"Yes."

"Are they helping?" Shoko taps her pen on her clipboard. Her brown eyes stay steady on mine as if she is trying to see my mind.

"For the most part. The ones for my hair loss though..." I pull my hair back slightly on my right side showing the new patches of bare skin, "not so much."

Shoko frowns and places her clipboard on her desk. She walks over to me and places her hand on my chin so my head turns to the left. Her fingers trace the bald spots and she sighs.

"It will grow back Geto." She places my hair back over, petting it gently.

"Satoru loves my hair..." I choke out.

"I know, I know. But I am sure he would love you bald too." She holds my face and rubs my cheeks. "I don't think he is with you for your hair... Idiot B."

Shoko's eyes are bloodshot and the bags under them are prominent.

"You okay?" I ask.

Shoko pauses for a moment. Her eyes locked on mine and her breathing deep.

"Busy. But fine." She blinks away tears or sleep. "We still have to talk to Gojo about his boxers."

I shake my head and let it hang down on my chest.

"I will tonight. He needs to know." I take in a shaky breath and climb down off the table.

"Is there anything else Geto? Talking helps. You know that. Meds can only do so much..." Shoko lets her sentence trail off hoping I pick it up.

"Not really." I pull my shirt over my biceps and then my head.

"Also you've gained some weight...which is great Geto." Shoko gives me a small smile as she makes her way to the couch. She plops down on it and puts her feet up.

"Yeah, I've been trying to..." I lock her door. "Thanks Shoko. Please sleep."

"I will." She whispers.

I shut her door and make my way to the field to work on my technique again.

Satoru is at Sera's 8 week appointment. He asked me to go but I said I wasn't feeling well. I wanted to see Shoko and get checked out plus my mood hasn't been the happiest lately and I definitely did not want to bring down a happy moment.

Because it is a happy moment.

POV Gojo

I walk next to Sera who is looking at the ultrasound pictures with a smile.

"April 13! Did you want to know the sex?" Sera rubs her finger on the greyscale picture of the round shape that is my heir.

"I actually don't think so..." I walk closely beside her in case she trips. Sera is walking much better and has healed quickly from her broken foot.

"Do you think Geto would like to know?" Sera questions while glancing at me.

"Um...I'll have to ask him." I place my hands in my pockets.
