"Aren't you supposed to be on bed rest...? Shoko called and-"

"I'm fine, it's just stomach pains. I'm not due for another two months, there's no way I'd have the baby this early," you shrugged it off and put away all the dishes that were in the dishwasher.

"I know you're stubborn but if anything happens to you under my surveillance, Satoru would kill me," the man sighed and looked genuinely terrified.

"I wouldn't worry about Satoru. He's harmless,"

"Maybe to you he is but not to others, he's holding me accountable for you and your children's lives...I don't want to jeopardize my own,"

"Trust me, Satoru is harmless. He's probably just bluffing," you shrugged again and closed the cabinet.

He was sitting at the island counter and you turned after shutting the cabinet, he pulled up a photo and turned his phone to you.

"What's this...?"

"Satoru's mess. What he left behind in Shibuya...trying to get back to you before he was sealed." 

You stared at the images of other parts of the Shibuya train stations, there was a lot more destruction of everything than you initially saw. Yet everything was empty, looking at the photos was depressing... you knew Satoru was strong but you never really equated his strength to him or his personality at all.

"Yeah so I'd rather not push my luck, Shoko said you should be on bed rest. I will finish up," he insisted and stood up, you agreed by just walking away and laying down for once.

You felt so restless, you liked resting but not constantly, then again you didn't want to stress you or the baby out any more than you already have been.

You laid in bed with nothing to do except the time the contractions you were having, you wanted to make sure they were still far apart and not getting any closer.

You didn't want to admit it but you were terrified, you dreaded the idea of going into labor all along again. Obviously, you didn't blame Satoru at all but you really wanted him there, you had nobody else who could be there with you, and out of everyone...you wanted him there.

Laying there was so boring, every fifteen minutes you'd have to deal with the sudden arise in pain and then wait for it all to settle back down. You didnt want to go into early labor but then again you didn't want to deal with these contractions up until you were in active labor.

B/n was sleeping for the rest of the day and even throughout the night, it was hard for him just as much as it was for you to adjust to Satoru suddenly not being a part of your lives for the moment.

You knew he wasn't tired, rather just upset. He couldn't have been tired because you weren't able to be active enough to wear him out or run around and play with him like Satoru did, while you hated the idea of resting so much...you didn't want to risk anything else either so you just complied.

It was hard enough being seven months but on top of that you were on bed rest, you really couldn't play or rough house with him like he was used to.

To keep yourself entertained and distracted, you began imagining all the things Satoru would get to experience for the first time. First words, first steps and even having to be woken up in the middle of the night multiple times for no reason at all.

You found comfort in all his reactions when you found out that you were pregnant, sometimes you wished that you told Satoru about b/n sooner. I knew that it wasn't his fault but sometimes it still hurt knowing what his family actually thought about you.
