"How about ginger tea instead? It should help ease your nausea." And he could sweeten it with a little bit of honey so that the taste wasn't too strong. He just knew that he had to get her something to ease her suffering.

He took her to their bedroom and set her on the bed. "I'll be right back. When I return, you really need to tell me what the doctor told you so that I know how to take care of you." He can't stand being kept in the dark about this.

"Ginger tea sounds good. Thank you for all your hard work." She felt a little guilty for all that she has been putting him through but at least, now they have answers as to what is wrong with her. She will have to find a way to pay him back for everything he has done for her.

A small sigh of relief leaves her as he sets her on the bed and she relaxes fully into it. "Okay, I will tell you then." She was worried and perhaps a little fearful but... Mitsuhide was her chosen mate and he deserves to know. When he leaves, she goes to rest a hand on her stomach again and idly moves her hand in a caressing motion.

Mitsuhide left the room to brew the tea. A few minutes later he returns with the tea and a plate of rice crackers, something that was also good for settling upset stomachs. Perhaps the food at the restaurant was a bit too heavy?

He hands Leanne the cup and sets the plate on the nightstand before sitting on the edge of the bed next to her.

"Alright, let's hear it. What did the doctor say was ailing you?

Tea and rice crackers? He... He was really thinking of everything for her. A small sigh leaves her before she smiles up at him, accepting the cup of tea.

Right, it was time wasn't it? This will only seal everything about this as real.

She goes to set the tea cup down and take hold of his hands.

"Its... Its still hard to process Darling but...." She goes to smile up at him, tears forming and falling freely from her eyes as she smiles.

"... You are going to be a father."

It was rare to catch Mitsuhide by surprise, but Leanne did just that with that one little sentence. For a few seconds, he stared at her in shock.

Of course, that was one of the things that came to mind when he saw her rubbing her stomach, but he didn't want to get his hopes up. Plus, her not acting excited about the news threw him off and made him think that it was something more serious. Now that he thought about it, she probably acted the way she did because she was worried about how he would react. Which also made him realize that his shocked reaction may not be a good thing...

So, he quickly shook off the shock, and his arms quickly wrapped around her. He felt like his heart was going to burst with joy.

"Thank you," he said against her hair as he held her tight.

Seeing his surprised expression normally would cause her to laugh at him, since it was a rare treat. But for this news, what she told him, his reaction did make her worry a little.

But then she felt his arms wrapping around her and it was her turn to gain a surprised expression. Even more so at his words.

"Dar-Darling?...." And oof! He was holding her quite tightly. "You are squishing us, Darling."

He loosened his grip but still held her. Letting her go at the moment was out of the question.

"Sorry, Little One." And then he gave a soft chuckle. "Or should I say 'Little Ones now?"

He straightens up, smiling so that he could look at her face again. "I cannot express how happy this news makes me."

Now that he knows what is "wrong" with her, he could help her. First, he will need to look up foods that help with morning sickness, and what foods she should avoid.

It was all that she could ask for in the moment. For him to loosen his grip a little.

A small chuckle as the tears of joy continues as he gave such a positive reaction to the news. "I would think that I have moved up from being a little one now, Darling~"

Seeing his smile as he looks at her. It nearly reminds her of the time when she accepted his proposal to marry him. "It brings my heart joy to hear that."

She attempts to shift just enough to try and take one of his hands to rest it against her belly so he could "touch" their nestling. "The doctor gave me some papers, perhaps there is some useful information in them?"

"What are you hoping for? A son or a daughter?"

Mitsuhide lets her pull away a bit just so she can guide his hand to her still flat stomach. Pregnant... She was carrying his child. Their child. He starts to rub small circles on her belly.

"I do not doubt that. Perhaps they also gave you a list of foods that will be good for you and the baby that is more agreeable with your usual diet."

He gave a small chuckle and leaned his forehead against hers. "Back in my world, men always seem to want their firstborn to be a son. But for me, I don't care if the child is a boy or a girl. Just as long as both you and the baby are happy and healthy, I will be happy."

She smiles as he goes to touch her belly, rubbing the small circles. A baby, she was having a baby.

It felt surreal, like it was a dream that she will wake up from and soon. There will be a steep price for her to pay when the child is born but, she would gladly pay it over and over again.

"I hope so, but you are the one who knows how to read. I pray that it won't be too much work for you, Darling."

Her ears wiggling and her whole being seems to glow in the joy and happiness of expecting a little one. She couldnt help but to start cooing as he leans his forehead against hers.

"I shall pray the same then as well. Our nestling will be happy and healthy as well as you. We will need to think of a proper name for our nestling to call you."
