Hi guys, sorry this took a little longer to update. I got sick this week and I had to study for my AP test this week which I completely forgot I had. But without further ado, here's chapter 2!

I hope you enjoy ^-^

" Names? Why would we be thinking of names?" Mei mumbled, looking up from the cereal box in her hand at Yamato who was standing next to the coffee machine in the kitchen. It had been only 3 days since Mei had first thrown up and she had been experiencing regular morning sickness ever since. It only reinforced the notion that perhaps she was pregnant, which would certainly be unexpected but not completely unwelcome. Mei did love children after all, even if she was a little nervous sometimes around them.

Yamato chuckled a little at his wife's question and picked up the coffee mug once it was full, turning to face her fully. " For the baby Mei. If you are pregnant, we only have 9 months to think of a name for him or her." He explained, a smile growing on his face. " You should go have a test done at the doctor in a week or so, just so we know for sure." He suggested, taking a sip of the dark roast. Mei listened to his words while pouring the box of cereal into her bowl slowly, deep in thought about it.

" I suppose I should." She said simply. She may have been quiet on the outside, but her mind was whirring a mile a minute. Actually having a child was a huge responsibility and being a family would be another one. She was happy to know if she was pregnant, she'd have Yamato here with her, afterall she couldn't think of a better father for their kids.

" Asamitchi and Nakanishi would be happy to hear about it." Yamato added, glancing at the clock before taking a large gulp of coffee and placing the mug down on the counter. Then he walked over to the sink and grabbed his toothbrush to brush his teeth and Mei breathed a quiet sigh.

" Do you have a shoot today?" She mumbled, even though she already knew the answer to her question. He only had coffee on the morning of long shoots so he had long lasting vigor for the day. He nodded silently and looked at her in the mirror's reflection.

" You look as beautiful as ever, Mei." He chuckled under his breath, seeing her cheeks light up when she heard his compliment. Mei hated when he complimented her out of nowhere and made her blush, it was so embarrassing for him to see her weakness, though he had seen many of them in the past. She was quiet for a moment, hiding her face from his view till the color returned to her face.

"...Airi...for a girl." Mei mumbled, glancing up at him in the mirror as well, but when he heard her he looked over his shoulder, surprised. He tilted his head, wondering where that had come from, but he grinned nonetheless.

" Why Airi?" He asked curiously, biting his lip now as he reached to get his camera bag and car keys off of the coffee table. Mei got up from her chair to go get the milk carton from the fridge, her feet quietly sliding against the wooden floor.

" Because it's a pretty name, I think. It's meaning is pretty too, it means 'love jasmine'." She explained, opening the door and taking out the milk, shocked to see Yamato right beside her when she closed the door. Before she could verbally express that he caught her off guard, he stole a kiss from her lips and pulled back to kiss her forehead. He softly inhaled her sweet subtle scent and closed his eyes momentarily.

" I love you Mei, and I'll be home before you start dinner." He whispered, causing her heart beat to jump in her chest. Even now he could make her heart race, and she didn't think it would ever change.

" I love you too. Be careful okay?" She sighed, closing her eyes as well and kissing his cheek. When he retracted from her. He opened his eyes, nodded, and ruffled her hair, causing her to puff out her cheeks, pouting slightly.

" Of course." He assured her, and with that he left for work.

Once he was gone, Mei ate her bowl of cereal thinking about the baby. If she was having a baby, what would she name him or her? Would the spare bedroom in the house become the baby room? They would need a lot of things. A crib, baby clothes, diapers, toys, monitors, and they'd have to baby proof the house. It was a whole other human being she'd be bringing into the world. She began feeling a little nauseous when her mind started to wander to childbirth, and it took some willpower to keep her breakfast down.

" Baby names..." She mumbled to herself, placing the now empty bowl in the sink and then taking her phone out of her pyjama pant's pocket. When she opened the flip phone she clicked on an internet browser and looked up a list of cute baby names. There were hundreds upon hundreds, so she decided to make a little list of her favorites on her phone while Yamato was at work. It couldn't hurt to just choose some names after all, right?

After a little while, Mei managed to fall asleep on the couch, her phone on her stomach with a list of boys and girls names on her phone, Airi still the top name on her list. Once she was out though, she began to have a strange dream.

In Mei's dream...

" Isn't she beautiful?" Mei's voice was soft and tired as she looked up at Yamato who was smiling down at the infant in her arms with teary eyes. He nodded, reaching a gentle hand down to rub the pad of his thumb against the child's forehead and cheek.

" Her skin is so soft and smooth." He marveled, causing Mei to laugh a little at Yamato's awe. She nodded in agreement and leaned down to kiss the sleepy baby on the forehead. She was a beautiful child with stark black hairs sprouting from the top of her head, but her eyes were a warm chocolate brown like her mother's. Mei found herself lost in them while admiring her new daughter.

" Let's go home, Yamato." She whispered, feeling his lips pressed briefly against hers. He wiped his eyes and free of any wet streaks and nodded quickly, placing his hands on the back of her wheelchair as they continued out of the hospital to head home.

End of dream...

Mei awoke with a start, taking a deep breath as she sat up slowly, pressing the palm of her hand against her chest. She could feel it, her heart was pounding again, but harder than before. She wasn't scared, but she hadn't expected a dream like that. Sure, what happened wasn't real but she felt like the emotions were. The baby in her dream certainly looked like her's and Yamato's baby, if they had one. Mei brushed her bangs out of her face and closed her eyes for a moment to process it all before parting her lips enough to say.

" I think...I want a baby..."
