Over the next few month’s Kaoru and Kenshin continued to make love to eachother whenever they had the chance, but the heat was incredible, and often times they were just too exhausted to even consider it. The peak of the summer had come and past, and the cool breeze of fall was beginning to blow through the dojo. The stagnant air finally being refreshed with mountain air. The water in the well was cooling down, and the trees were beginning to loose their bright green leaves.
From the front steps of the dojo Kaoru and Kenshin could hear the sparring grunts and wails as Yahiko struck the students. They were getting much better, but they were still no match for Yahiko, who had become quite adept. It turned out waiting on tables had improved his balance and in turn was helping him with his swordsmanship.
“You retired early today Miss Kaoru, that you did.” Kenshin said in his sweetest voice, placing a cup of tea by his loving wife and taking a seat on the step next to her.
“It seems to be getting harder to keep up with them. My limbs feel so heavy sometimes. The weather must be getting to me. Thank you for the tea Kenshin.”
“Kaoru, can this one ask you a question?”
“Of course Kenshin, you know better than to ask.”
“Of course, I’m sorry. But Kaoru, It’s been nearly 5 months since the wedding, and as the temperature has cooled, we have been…spending more time together, but it is possible you have forgotten something?” Kenshin said gingerly. He was never good at discussing serious subjects, but he had been trained long and hard all his youth to be very aware of his surroundings. And he had indeed noticed a change in Kaoru in the last month.
“Forgotten something? Spending time…Kenshin! Is today your birthday!? Oh my goodness I’m so sor—“
“No, no Kaoru it is not this ones Birthday. Nothing like that.” Kenshin shook his hands in front of his face, his face slightly exasperated.
“Then…what? I’ve made the dinner, done the laundry, I paid Yahiko’s lessons this month, and bought this month’s fire oil, and got the medicine for my cramps from Megumi but I haven’t---“ Kaoru’s expression changed, she starred right at Kenshin for a long moment, watching his gentle features. Her hands flew to her stomach. “Oh! Kenshin, you don’t think!?”
“That I do Miss Kaoru.”
“I—I can’t believe it. How did I not realize it before you did.”
“Because Kaoru, You have been very busy trying to be a good wife to me. You forgot about yourself. But that is why you have me. For I will never forget about you, that I will not.”
“Kenshin we’re going to be parents!” She covered her mouth as she let out a happy sob. “ Oh you have made me the happiest girl in the world.” Kaoru leaned over into Kenshin who wrapped his arms around her. “ Thank you Kenshin. You have no idea what this means to me.”
“Kaoru, I want to make you happy. I know you have missed having a family since your parents are gone. You will never have to worry about being alone again. I love you. And I know you will be a great mother.” Kenshin could feel her tears trickles down his chest, he tightened his grip around her shoulders, and rocked her back and forth, resting his head atop hers. He heard her whisper,
“I’m going to be a mom at last.” Into his chest, which left a faint smile on his lips. Kenshins happiness, however; had been forced. He did not know anyone who was a father and a good one, and he feared he too would be a bad father. He knew one day he would wander again, and one day he would no longer be able to wield a sword and protect his family as he could now. His eyes showed his sorrow, but he quickly masked his gaze before he could worry Kaoru.
Little footsteps approached, and Kaoru sat up and wiped her eyes, but Kenshin was quicker, leaving her with her happy realization, Kenshin hoped up to face the students. “Who’s ready for the next lesson?” He asked, walking back to the practice hall. He was surrounded by little coos of happiness as they all jumped on Kenshin in excitement. They loved when he taught class.
Kaoru turned to look back at him. Her loving husband. Even when he was distant, and she knew his mind was somewhere else. Even when he wandered off at night when he thought she was asleep, she knew he loved her. His actions were all she needed. He may be a distant father, but he will always be stern and kind. She thought. I love you Kenshin. You make me happier than all the treasures of this life put together. And you have granted me the ultimate happiness with this child I now bear. Thank you.
