⊹ ࣪ ˖ Megumi favorites toji… until you’re pregnant.
ever since you have pushed out your newborn, Megumi, your love for him was like a vain that connected his heart to yours. from the day he was placed on top of your naked chest after 7 hours of labor, to now, where he is pushing off of your grip to chase after his father, Toji, and leaving you standing there upset.
it would sometimes dishearten you when you would see your baby choose his father over his mother that would take care of him 70% of the time. and you knew that he loved his father more than you because of multiple reasons.
“do you love mama or dada more!” you’d chirp as you would try to coddle him.
all he would do is push your hands away and cross his arms, squatting on the floor. the kid seemed like he had some kind of connection with his father that made him prefer Toji over anyone else.
Toji opened the door to your shared bedroom, stepping out. he was shirtless, muscles visibly bulky. his grey sweatpants were loosely draping around his long legs, yet still keeping his print visible. he was barefoot, slowly walking towards you and Megumi.
Megumi launches from the floor, waddling towards him. his feet are paddling across the floor while Toji is filling in the gap between them.
“daddyyy!!” he squeals, his only 3 teeth growing in being spotted with his cheeky smile.
Toji’s face unstiffens, inviting him over.
Megumi throws himself around his leg, wrapping around it and reaching as far up as he can to try to reach him. Megumi starts giggling as your husband ruffles his hair.
“hey kid.” Toji chuckled, grabbing his arms and lifting him over his shoulder, smirking.
their laughter can be heard throughout the apartment, giving it warmth. it was just Megumi and his father taking up the mood in the living room, affection being felt through the air.
oh yeah, and also you sitting on the floor with your back against the couch with an envious expression. the jealousy has basically reached your blood stream from feeling it almost every single day.
you cut them off from their moment, snapping at them.
“this isn’t fair! i was literally having a moment with him before you came in.”
even though you knew that wasn’t true, you wish it was. Megumi is such a stubborn kid when it came to you.
“baby, you know that if i didn’t intervene he would of died of boredom from you asking the same question for the hundredth time. isn’t that right kid?”
megumi squeals, throwing his head onto his chest, having Toji cup his head and run away with him into the bedroom to have him all to himself.
and this is only one of Megumi’s tantrums over his fathers affection.
it was late at night and Megumi hasn’t eaten all day. you have been trying to get him to eat his dinner for the past 2 hours yet the only thing he was doing was squalling and sobbing. your head started to hurt from consuming all his wailing.
you knew exactly why he was refusing to eat. it was because his father wasn’t home. Toji has been gone for the past 5 hours, leaving Megumi at home while he went out with friends to a takeout spot.
usually he takes him with him whenever he leaves the house, but this time, he wanted some alone time with his friends.
as you’re about to give up, you hear the key enter the lock, turning the doorknob open. Toji enters the apartment, locking the door behind him.
Megumi grows silent as he hears Toji’s footsteps coming towards the kitchen.
“baby, i could hear him sobbing from outside the apartment. is he giving you trouble again my love?”
you throw your head against your arms that are resting against the table, sighing as your head hits the table. you’re hunched and visibly drained.
you groan out a couple of incoherent words as Toji walks towards you two.
Megumi reaches out for Toji, throwing his hands up as a sign of wanting to get picked up. Toji walks right past him and cups your face. his cold hands linger on your cheeks as he quickly pecks you, the rings in his fingers giving you the chills.
he straightened up after the kiss, turning towards megumi. he walks towards him and picks up the baby fork, starting to stab the now cold pasta.
he picks up a couple of pieces and pushes the fork near megumi’s mouth.
“since you wanna be such a pain in the ass, you can eat and go straight to bed. you’re not getting play time with me tonight.” Toji growls.
megumi nods in a frantic way, basically swallowing the whole fork. Toji pulls a seat near the high chair, spreading his thighs and sitting between the backrest.
“go to sleep baby, i got it from here.” toji coos before shoving another fork full of pasta into megumi’s mouth.
Toji was always soft with megumi, giving him the love he deserves in a gentle way. but today, it got to him how his son was causing trouble to the love of his life. he knew he had to be a little rough on him so he can gravitate towards you and not depend on him every second of the day.
after a couple of weeks, on a random sunday, you woke up feeling nauseous. you threw toji’s hand that was wrapped around your figure away from you, stumbling as you walked towards the bathroom.
toji woke up instantly, following you towards the bathroom in just his boxers, pushing the door open.
you puked into the toilet, grabbing at the toilet rim. toji kneels down and bunches up your hair, moving it out of the way.
“it’s okay baby, i know.” he reassures. “you’re doing good… just breathe.”
after a couple of minutes of puking your guts out, you lean back against the bathtub, having toji wipe your mouth with a damp towel.
a moment of silence, yet intimacy is exchanged. he picks you up gently and carries you out of the bathroom towards the bed. he pulls the covers over you, slowly taking a seat at the edge of the bed.
you noticed toji have a worried look on his face, which he never does. he is a very composed man, never letting anything get to him. but right now it was different.
“sweetheart…” he hesitates.
“mhm baby?” you utter, still feeling the sickness deep in your stomach.
“i think… you might be.. pregnant.” he blurts out.
there’s a moment of silence before you respond.
“i think i should pass by the pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test. stay here. i’ll be back as soon as possible baby.” toji demands.
you’re now in the bathroom holding up the test in your hands with toji standing behind you peeking.
low and behold, there’s 2 bright red lines staring back at you.
“fuckkkk. how are we supposed to handle 2?” Toji grunts, hands swiping down his face.
this is going to be a long 9 months….
how were you going to have a second child when your first doesn’t even like you? the last thing you want is a second child that prefers their bummy father over you.
you turn towards the door as you hear small footsteps approaching the bathroom.
“it’s megumi, hide the test baby.” toji utters before stepping away from the door. you throw the test into the sink and turn around as the door opens, welcoming in Megumi.
he walks in with his eyelids heavy, looking around the bathroom to see what’s going on.
“hey kid. why are you up early…?” toji questions in a warming way, trying to hide his demeanor.
megumi looks up at him and ignores him, walking right past him. toji’s eyes widen as Megumi usually clings onto him first thing in the morning, usually leaving you glaring at toji.
he stops right in front of you, looking up in your direction. his hands fly up above his head as he steps closer.
you freeze as you share a couple of glances at toji. a smile grew across your face as you cupped your hands under his arms, lifting him to sit on your hip and his head rested on your shoulder.
Megumi was showing affection towards you? as in like YOU over toji? as in the person he would throw spaghetti at and cry all day when toji wasn’t available?
a couple of months pass and you are days away from the due date. everything has become very difficult. thankfully, toji has been taking care of you and everything in the house.
before he would sleep, he would make sure to turn to the side and see you vast asleep, all comfortable and hugging your pregnancy pillow.
he grunts, pushing the pillow away and throwing your hand across his abdomen. you wake up, feeling groggy.
“baby.. what are you doing?” you question, scanning his whole body.
“quit cuddling this pillow when your handsome husband is laying right next to you.” he smirks, caressing your womb.
you snort out a giggle, pulling his face closer.
“yeah, yeah, just cuddle me already.”
he retorts. “i love you more….. and our baby.
besides from toji showing more affection, megumi was behind him in line.
it was bright and early in the morning when the sun casted a warmth onto the sheets. you slowly wake up, hand reaching to find toji’s. you search for a couple of second before openining your eyes, seeing him not there.
you get up, sighing as you haul yourself out of bed and put on your slippers. whines and sniffling can be heard as you approach the living room.
“get up kid, you’ll see her when you get back.” you hear toji reassuring.
you turn the corner and see megumi laying across the carpet like a starfish with his backpack on, enhaling the carpet as he sniffles into it.
“toji?…… what’s wrong?” you question in a worried tone that toji picked up on quickly.
“nothing baby. go back to sleep.”
he finally picks up his head from the damp carpet, looking up at you. his eyes are glimmering from his tears, making you pout.
“awwww, my baby, what’s wrong?” you express with sympathy.
he drops his head back onto the carpet and continues to whine, restarting his streak of crying.
“what’s wrong is that he doesn’t want to go to school because he said he won’t see you there.” toji puffs out, clearing exhausted from this situation.
your heart swells, casting a warmth onto your face as you pout.
you waddle towards megumi and pick him up from the soggy carpet, giving him a goodbye kiss and reassuring him you’ll be here when he comes back.
it’s like megumi was swapped out with another kid during school. he has suddenly flipped a switch where he prefers you over his lord and savior, toji.
whenever megumi would notice you rubbing your belly with lotion or anti-stretch mark cream, he would get jealous and start puffing.
you giggle, turning towards megumi who was standing by the doorstep, taking up 1/5th of the height of the door.
“what’s wrong my baby?” you mock, continuing to rub your belly to distribute the cream.
he turns around, having his back face you as he puffs and stomps away.
you can’t help but cackle. not only did he change, but now he’s jealous of a baby that you diddnt even give birth to…. yet.
it’s the day of labor and you’re pushing the baby out with all your might. it’s been 4 hours of labor and still nothing. toji has been by your side, pushing your hips together and rubbing your back. his face casted a sympathetic look for you. the room was full with the smell of alcohol wipes and beeping from the machine you were hooked onto. Toji kept on distracting you from everything by talking you through your labor. his hand was interlinked with yours, thumb caressing your outer palm.
“it’s okay baby, i know. i know. im so proud of you.” he reassured, whispering near your ear as you grunted from each push.
sooner or later, the baby started sobbing, making you and toji alert of what was happening. you two shared a glance where your eyes were watery and to your shock, so was his.
this was such an intimate moment that was engrained into your brain. the look in toji’s eyes made you pout while a rainfall of tears left your eyes. his other hand came to cradle your head, pushing you gently into his chest.
“you did it baby….. i’m so proud of you.” he cooed, caressing your hair.
it was moments after you held your baby skin to skin, soon leading him to go get washed up before being able to be breastfed. the nurse was cleaning you up and speaking to your husband about what you can and can’t do for the next month or so.
until you heard a faint knock on the door.
the door creaked open with megumi tip toeing into the room with his grandma behind him. his hands were in his pockets and his little boots were clamping against the floor.
“aww, my baby came to see me..” you giggled.
Megumi wasn’t allowed in the labor room while you were actively giving birth, so his grandma took care of him while you and toji were alone in the hospital. it’s been 2 days and you missed your first born.
megumi’s eyes gleamed as soon as he saw you, trying to climb onto the hospital bed.
“easy kid. she just gave birth a couple of hours ago… let her rest.” toji remarked.
megumi threw his hands across your chest, cuddling you as you ruffled his hair.
a few minutes pass and your newborn is brung back to you, freshly showered. megumi lifts his head up from your chest to see what all the commotion is. you cup your arms together for the nurse to place your newborn into them.
the warmth of her sends shivers through your body as a new found love of yours is gripping onto your hospital gown.
clearly, megumi isn’t having it. he pushes off of you and jumps off onto the cold, tile floors and runs to toji, jumping into his arms.
“atta kid. i knew you were going to come back to me sooner or later.” toji chuckled.
toji was back to being megumi’s favorite.
