a/n: continuation of the bokuto baby fever drabble \^o^/
[03:23 pm] "oh? Akaashi-san! so nice of you to drop by!" you say with a smile on your face. standing before you was Akaashi in his casual clothes — a day off from work probably, who was holding a box in his hand. the dark-haired boy slightly bowed before meeting your eyes with a soft smile on his face as well.
"(Y/n)-san, I hope I'm not disturbing. I just wanted to drop these tarts and ask how the pregnancy's going."
Akaashi saw how your eyes lit up when he raised the box of tarts, knowing how much of a sweet-tooth you are.
"That's so sweet of you! You're not disturbing at all. Good thing Koutaro's home. He'll be happy to see you. Please come in."
You say as you thanked Akaashi for the tarts as you took it from him, stepping aside to welcome him in your and Bokuto's shared home. Akaashi took off his shoes and placed his coat on the rack before following you to the living room.
Akaashi scans the familiar room and noticed how calm it was. You noticed this and can't help but giggle.
"Kou's still having his shower from his afternoon workout. Have a seat while I prepare some refreshments. "
"No, it's okay (Y/n)-san. Won't your feet and back hurt?" Akaashi then eyes your very pregnant tummy — it looked like it was going to pop any second. You were already in the ninth month of your pregnancy, and your due date was fast approaching.
"You don't have to worry about that. I've just been sitting around all day anyway" you say with a chuckle, both hands now on your tummy, patting it lightly.
This was your first pregnancy. It had been a sore and tiring nine months for you as your stomach was getting heavier each day. Your feet would hurt whenever you walk, and your back would ache. But the pain wasn't that drastic as you thought it would be. You'd probably thank Bokuto for that since Bokuto somehow made a smart decision to enroll you in a prenatal yoga class. You were even surprised of how he got the idea in the first place knowing how clueless your husband is when it comes to these things — or maybe he has the initiative when it comes to taking care of you.
The thought of Bokuto asking around on how to help you during the pregnancy sent butterflies to your stomach and warms your heart.
Bokuto was mostly present during your yoga sessions. He was all for fitness and seeing those yoga positions that were taught in class, he would assist you whenever you'll do yoga at home — positioning you properly, crouching beside you and always hover his hands near your back whenever you use the yoga ball so that you'll not fall on the ground, and sometimes snapping some pictures for your Instagram stories on your pregnancy journey.
"Hey hey hey! Akaashi you're here!"
The booming voice of Bokuto fills in the room as he descended from your shared bedroom — his eyes bright and a big smile was plastered on his face as he saw his best friend.
"Hello Bokuto-san. Yeah, I wanted to visit you and (Y/N). It's been a while since I dropped by" Akaashi says with a smile. Bokuto laughs gleefully and pats Akaashi on the back, rather a bit hard as Akaashi let out a huff, making you giggle. The two haven't changed a bit.
"We're doing great! I'm so excited for our little Bokuto to come soon" Bokuto says with a proud smile on his face. You could still remember the time of when Bokuto got you pregnant. All because of a stuffed toy you ordered online.
"Baby, could you bring these to the table?" You called, making Bokuto turn to you and was about to head to the kitchen when Akaashi offered to take it so that Bokuto could assist you to sit down.
The three of you sat down and tried to catch up. It has indeed been awhile. Akaashi was the one who would often visit you two. But his usual days in visiting came to a halt when his company hit something big that kept him busy for the past couple of weeks.
As Bokuto settled you in your chair, he gives you a kiss on the cheek before sitting down beside you. The afternoon was filled with good food, jokes and laughs.
"When are you due, (Y/N)-san?" asks Akaashi
"Next week. A bit nerve-wracking if you ask me" you say as you sip some juice.
"You don't have to worry about that, baby. I'm here!" Bokuto says as he lovingly caresses your baby bump, which made Akaashi smile as he watched you two. Akaashi never thought this day would come. His best friend was about to become a father. Bokuto may not look like he is responsible enough to have a family but that's far from it.
Outside of your shared walls, he's a volleyball superstar who plays with his heart and in his element of being a professional athlete — yet, inside your sacred home there lies a caring husband and partner who's always there for you through every struggle despite how these things are quite new to him — yet, he welcomed this unfamiliarity with open arms because he wants to be with you and your world — a world where he wants to be in for the rest of his life, with his volleyball career of course.
"So I'm guessing you two already have a plan then? And if Bokuto-san will be with you in the delivery room during labor?"
this made you cackle out loud, making Bokuto confused.
"Why are you laughing babe?"
You dramatically wiped tears from your eyes and crossed your arms, "I don't think you'll last for more than five seconds in there, babe" you say, still cackling.
"Wha- what makes you think that?!"
"Kou, I've shown you a video on childbirth. You fainted! And the video was still paused. just the sight of it makes you a goner"
"I am not! I'm big and strong, I can handle it!" He looks away and crosses his arms, closing his eyes as if he was offended, making Akaashi sigh.
"Bokuto-san, (Y/N) isn't referring to your physical strength. It's your mental strength is what she means, if you could take on her giving birth."
"I know what she means" Bokuto stubbornly says, still looking away from the both of you. This made Akaashi sigh again while you let out a giggle.
"Okay, Kou. You'll be in the delivery room with me. My big, buffy, brave man" you say, placing your hand on the side of his face and kissed his cheek sweetly, his mood instantly brightened and couldn't help but wrap his arms around you and planted many kisses on your face.
"Kou that's enough. Akaashi-san's right in front of us!"
Akaashi smiles and stands up, telling you that he'll wash the dishes despite your protests.
It was the middle of night. It was like those usual nights. You would wake up around this hour to take leak. You don't want to disturb your husband as he was peacefully sleeping beside you after a tiring day from practice, so you wiggled out of bed quietly as possible. As you were finally on your feet, you felt a sudden jolt of pain coming from your uterus, making you exhale sharply and holding onto the wall for support. Your contractions were getting worse. You thought it was one of those false contractions, since it had been on and off for the past couple of days. But boy, another contraction hits once you stepped in the bathroom, making you hiss and grab onto the sink, gripping onto it while sweat trickled down your forehead.
Your other hand held onto the bottom of your baby bump, trying to soothe your discomfort. discomfort was an understatement. your breath hastens as another wave of contraction hits you, making you hiss loudly.
You tried to calm your breathing, letting out a shaky breath, eyes closed, your body feeling a bit numb. The pain was still there, yet what made your heart stop for a moment was the feeling something wet trickling down your thighs down to your feet.
It took you a couple of seconds before realizing that your baby was finally on the way, hundreds of emotions rushing through you, your mind a bit of a mess on what you'll do first. But one thing's for sure, Bokuto was there.
"B-babe? baby?! Kou!" you called from the bathroom. Bokuto groans and turned to your side of the bed, confused as you were not there. His head then instantly turns to the bathroom to see you just standing there but with an alarmed look on your face, like you were in distress.
"(Y/N)? What's wrong?" Bokuto suddenly feels awake, quickly rushing to you.
"No wait careful! You'll step onto my water!"
Bokuto furrows his eyebrows before looking down, making his eyes widen.
"Oh my god baby! Our little owl's-"
"Aghh!" you groaned loudly this time, making Bokuto panic a little as he saw your pained face but quickly manned up and took you out of the bathroom. Bokuto let you sit down for a moment, quickly grabbing the hospital bag that you prepared beforehand. You let out another groan, tears starting to form on your eyes.
"Koutaro! Please hurryy!"
As Bokuto picked up the car keys, he then rushes to you, crouching down to meet your eyes, running a hand through your sweaty hair with a loving smile on his face. If this were the high school Bokuto, he wouldn't know what to do and would be a panic mess. But this Bokuto has matured. He may be silly at times but when it comes to you, his mind is clear and will do anything in his power to keep you safe and healthy.
"Let's go have that baby" Bokuto says before kissing your forehead and lifting you bridal style, taking you to the car. Making sure you were comfortable in your seat, Bokuto then heads for the driver's seat then speeds away to the hospital you've booked beforehand.
Finally arriving at the hospital, nurses were there escorting you the delivery room, with Bokuto making calls as he was outside while the nurses were preparing you for your delivery. He called both of your families to inform them you were about to give birth. Deep down, Bokuto was nervous as hell. He was about to become a father. The thought of you becoming a mother too instantly warms his heart.
Few moments later, a nurse came out from the delivery room to give Bokuto a throwaway coverall for cleanliness. Bokuto was then allowed to head inside. As his eyes lands on you, he quickly holds your hand.
"Baby! Are you alright?!"
"Does it look like I'm okay?! I'm about to push a baby out of my pussy you banged!"
Bokuto's eyes widen, and his face turned red as he saw some nurses giggling at your retort, but he knows it was just a stressful and painful time for you.
"Okay okay, j-just hold onto my -"
Bokuto couldn't finish his sentence as he was quickly cut off by your screams as another contraction came, which was a bit violent compared to the past contractions you experienced. Bokuto didn't expect you had this kind of strength as you were somehow crushing his hand.
"B-babe! that's my spike hand! hold onto the other one"
You slapped his dominant hand away and switched to the left one, giving it a much tighter squeeze, making Bokuto hold onto his breath. Whatever pain he was experiencing, he knows you had it far worse. You were breathing heavily, and tiredness was visible on your face. Bokuto wiped the sweat from your forehead and kissed your head, mumbling comforting words to soothe you and distract you from the pain.
"I've got you baby. You got this. You're the strongest woman I know! You're gonna be one hot momma!" says Bokuto, trying to lighten the mood, only to be met by one of your horrifying screams. Just then, the doctor finally arrived.
"Oh thank god doctor you are here! Please help my wife!" your ob-gyne acknowledges your husband, securing her gloves before sitting down, taking a peek of your cervix.
"Alright let's get started. Your cervix is well-dilated now. Mr. Bokuto, please assist your wife by being there for her"
Bokuto nods vigorously, giving your hand an assuring squeeze.
"Alright (Y/N), whenever I say push, count 1 to 3 before you actually push, okay?"
You nod, trying to catch some breath. You could feel Bokuto's thumbs caressing the top of your hand, making you calm down a little.
As you pushed, Bokuto was holding in his breath as well. Like he was also the one pushing the baby with you.
A week before, you made a deal with Bokuto that he can look anywhere, only he will not look down there during labor. Yet, curiosity got the better of him. He just wanted to see your baby owl as soon as possible. With one eye open, he took a quick glance, only to see blood everywhere and how he couldn't process how it stretched so much, making him a bit lightheaded.
The doctor notices this, gesturing to the nurses.
"Oh no. We've got another fainter. Please assist."
You were too busy and too in pain to notice that your big, buffy, six foot husband was already on the floor, unconscious. The nurses had to call for back up as they couldn't carry Bokuto by themselves. By the time he was carried out of the room, taking him to your pre-booked room where you'll be staying at after giving birth, you heard loud cries that made your heart swell and tears started to stream down your face.
Your baby owl was finally in the same world as you.
"Congratulations, (Y/N). It's a bummer your husband isn't here with you right now" says the doctor as she carefully gave you your baby who was now wrapped in a blanket, you cooing at her as she was still crying.
"I told him not to look down there. But anyway, at least he'll wake up to some good news." You say with a giggle.
Hours passed since the successful delivery of your baby. You were now peacefully sleeping in the room you and Bokuto booked, which was a bit luxurious. Bokuto wanted your birth to be comfortable and stress-free as possible.
You were regaining consciousness from your slumber, making you yawn and scan the room. There you saw Bokuto sleeping by your side, his head resting on the edge of the bed while holding your hand, making you smile and ran a hand through his hair.
"Oh Kou~ you must've been tired." you say, still running your fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp. This pulled Bokuto from his slumber, blinking rapidly as he was trying to get into the right headspace. Then he saw you. How can someone who had just given birth be so glowing and beautiful?
"You're so beautiful, my love" Bokuto says in a soft tone, a loving and soft smile on his face as he sits down on the bed, leaning down to rest his forehead on yours, intertwining your hands together.
This made you blush. Despite how long you two have already been together, Bokuto still manages to make you feel giddy inside, as he feels the same way from you. This side of Bokuto still overwhelms you whenever you two are alone together.
When out in public, his love for you is loud and proud. But when you two are just alone, there shows another side of Bokuto, a soft Loverboy who is an absolute simp for you.
"You fainted" you say with a giggle, breaking your moment of serenity.
Bokuto sits up and looks away, a bit embarrassed.
"I never expected that there'll be so much blood!" he defended himself, making you giggle even more.
"I told you not to look" Bokuto pouts before resting his head lightly on your chest. Then he remembered.
"Our baby! When can I see them? You never told me if it's a boy or a girl!"
Before you could reply, a knock was heard. Bokuto then pressed a button, giving approval of entry to the whoever was behind the door. There entered a nurse who was pushing a hospital infant cot bed, and there lies your baby all clean and in pink overalls.
"Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bokuto. Your baby is all set. We've checked everything from her vitals to gross description records and paperwork. The doctor instructed that you'll stay in the hospital for at least 2 days before discharging for observation. For the meantime, you may tend to your baby. Please keep her warm at all times and you may breastfeed her."
And with that, the nurse left the room, giving you and Bokuto some privacy. You were confused as to why Bokuto was still quiet. He was staring at your baby.
"Kou?" you asked worriedly, but then you saw how Bokuto carefully picked your baby up and slowly turned to face you, his eyes watery and couldn't hold back a smile on his face.
"I-It's a baby girl" he says, his voice cracking as he looks down at the small human in his arms who was sleeping peacefully. Just the sight of it makes your eyes water. You never thought this day would come. The scene before you made your heart feel full.
Bokuto then made his way towards you, giving you your baby girl, cradling it in your arms.
"Our little owl's so beautiful, and so is her momma! I love you so much, (Y/N). You have no idea how excited I am to announce to the world that I finally have baby."
"I love you so much too, Kou."
Bokuto leans down to kiss you lovingly on your lips before wrapping an arm around your waist, caressing your hip affectionately while resting his head on yours, admiring the little of bundle of joy you gave into this world. Bokuto couldn't asked for anything better, because the world he currently he is in is perfect. He got his successful volleyball career, his friends, the love of his life, and now your little owl that he'll love with all his heart with you.
