“Sakumo. Sakumo wake up.”
Sakumo’s eyes shot open and he was uo before he knew it, “what! What’s wrong Kaguya?”
Sakumo’s wife could only laugh at her husband’s protectiveness. She reached over to him and hugged him, feeling the worry leave his body, “nothing my love.”
Sakumo sighed and hugged her back, “that’s a relief.”
The pair kissed and kaguya helped him up, “now, get ready for the day, Breakfast is ready.”
“Ah, of course.”
Despite how happy he made her, kaguya was sad. She could plainly see how the last war effected her beloved’s daily life. Well if she couldn’t change him maybe some news would.
“I’ll be waiting for you dear.”
Sakumo sighed, he knew how powerful Kaguya was, but his nightmares, those damn nightmares made him terrified some rogue ninja would sneak in their home and kill her.
He shook his head, “the war is over, I’ll be damned if I won’t be happy with my wife.”
He nodded and left to dine with his beloved.
“Hello again.”
Kaguya smiled and poured their tea.
They ate in blissful silence, but when they nearly finished their meal kaguya spoke up, “sakumo, I have something I need to show you.”
“Oh?”
She nodded, “Finish and I’ll show you, it’s in the garden.”
“Okay.” Weird, he wondered if it was one of the mystical plants she would tell him about.
Sakumo didn’t finish his meal because he could see how excited kaguya got, she was practically floating as he got up and followed her outside.
“So what is it?”
“Here!”
Kaguya walked over to a sunny spot where her chrysanthemums were growing. She bent down and reached into the flowers.
“K-Kaguya, what is that.”
She smiled and stood back up, hugging a giant egg. “Our baby.”
“Wha...” sakumo felt like he was going to faint, no way he heard that right.
“Ah right, I put them here so he could stay warm in the morning sun as we ate breakfast,” she laughed, “with such a lovely day I thought it would be good for our little one.”
“I-I’m not worried about that, it’s just, how is the possible?”
Kaguya gave him a look, “sweetie.”
Sakumo blushed, “what I mean is, well you know, I’m human, we don’t, our babies don’t come from eggs.”
“Oh!” Now she was blushing, “of course.”
Sakumo looked at the egg, the way kaguya already seemed to deeply cared for it, “so, this is our baby.”
“Yes.”
“I’m... I’m going to be a father.”
“Yes. Is this too much? I know it was unexpected.”
“No!” Sakumo swept her up and held her close, “not at all.”
She nuzzled into his chest.
“You make me so happy. And you’ve given me the best thing a man could ever ask for. I love you so much Kaguya.”
“Sakumo.” She smiled and handed their egg to him, she smiled as she watched him struggle with it, “it’s okay, our baby isn’t weak.”
“So uh, when will they hatch?”
“When their ready.”
“Kaguya!”
She laughed and kissed him.
