Having a child with your husband was the last thing on your mind, really. More like the last thing you two could afford.

So seeing the pregnancy test being positive was rather an unpleasant surprise at first. You didn't tell Toji about it yet, but after a lot of thinking, maybe having a child wasn't that bad after all. You two weren't on your best terms. He had quite a temper because of his troubled past, along with PTSD, so having a child might bring you two closer, or so you thought.

You tried hiding it for a while, and after a few months, the bump was a bit visible, but he only thought you gained some weight, not that he minded.

It was night time, 1 A.M. maybe. Toji was outside on the balcony, leaning against the railing while smoking.
