How to raise a random guy's wife

"Really?" Kobayashi Sora guessed. "Maybe it's because they've just changed environments and are a little unaccustomed to them."

"No, it was like this before we moved," Kobayashi Megumi said, sounding a little aggrieved. "She would even deliberately avoid me. Does that mean she doesn't like me anymore?"

“How could that be?” Kobayashi Sora shook his head. “There must be another reason, like a change in scent, or a change in skincare products. Those are all possibilities.” He smiled reassuringly. “By the way, I’ve heard that pets can even sense when their owners are pregnant and then give them special attention…”

His voice paused, and as he lowered his head, he met Kobayashi Megumi's gaze.

Kobayashi Sora made a quick decision: "I'll go out and buy a pregnancy test."

"Wait a moment."

"how?"

"There is something at home..."

"Eh?"

"Mom bought it for me..." Kobayashi Megumi got up with a blush and found the pregnancy test.

"I'll help you..."

"I can do it myself." Kobayashi Megumi pushed Kobayashi Sora aside and went into the restroom by herself.

A minute later, Kobayashi Megumi came out again and held up the pregnancy test to Kobayashi Sora. "It's negative... Looks like you'll have to keep trying."

Chapter 485 Becoming a Father

On the observation window of the pregnancy test, there is only one control line.

This means that Megumi Kobayashi is not pregnant.

"It seems..." Kobayashi Megumi sighed softly, "that the mochi really doesn't like it..."

She had only spoken halfway when Kobayashi Megumi noticed Kobayashi Sora's blank stare.

And the surprise that blossomed from the stagnation.

A conversation with the overwhelming surprise.

What followed was a sense of helplessness she had never experienced before.

Kobayashi Sora stared blankly at the pregnancy test in Kobayashi Megumi's hand. The second line quietly appeared, becoming clearer and clearer.

Kobayashi Megumi glanced to the side, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized the significance of this phenomenon.

This is a sign of early pregnancy.

With her cherry lips slightly pursed, noticing Kobayashi Sora's helplessness, Kobayashi Megumi's lips curled up slightly, her fair fingertips pointing to the pregnancy test, revealing a gentle smile, "You're going to be a father."

Kobayashi Sora instinctively wanted to hug Kobayashi Megumi, but hesitated to use force.

Kobayashi Megumi leaned against him, "Don't worry so much..."

"I need to prepare..." Kobayashi Sora muttered, "In the early stages of pregnancy... it seems like we can't go to the hospital in the early stages of pregnancy."

"Don't panic." Kobayashi Megumi hugged Kobayashi Sora, preventing him from moving. "If anything happens, I'll definitely find out first. Let's go tomorrow."

"Okay...okay..." Kobayashi Sora nodded, and carefully helped Kobayashi Megumi onto the bed. "You should get some rest."

"You don't need to be so careful," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled helplessly. "You're too nervous."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora realized her own abnormality, took several deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down. "Should I call my parents?"

"Aren't you going to let them sleep or not?" Kobayashi Megumi gently poked Kobayashi Sora's nose. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, whatever you say." Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi, carefully avoiding her stomach. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Your nervousness makes me uncomfortable."

Kobayashi Sora's expression froze for a moment, then she chuckled softly, "I'm so excited... I... I don't know how to say it... it's just... um..."

Kobayashi Sora really didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

Looking at Kobayashi Megumi's still flat stomach, he clearly realized that the fruit of their love, a brand new life, was growing.

Kobayashi Megumi grabbed Kobayashi Sora's hand and placed it on her stomach, feeling the warmth of his palm. Kobayashi Megumi blinked and said, "This is what you did."

"The way you put it makes it sound like I've done something wrong."

“You’re just imagining things,” Kobayashi Megumi said, gazing at Kobayashi Sora, who had calmed down a bit. “Actually, you know what you want to say.”

The last time Kobayashi Megumi saw Kobayashi Sora talking incoherently was on that day in her pajamas.

Both times... it was because of myself.

Kobayashi Megumi knew the source of Kobayashi Sora's panic.

Naturally, I knew what he wanted to say.

“Hui…” Kobayashi Sora’s eyes gleamed slightly, “I love you.”

"I love you too." Kobayashi Megumi kissed his lips.

Yes.

Everything I do is because I love you.

I love you as much as you love me.

"Wait...wait a minute..." Kobayashi Sora's voice was panicked, "We can't now..."

"Hmm..." With her cheeks puffed out slightly, Kobayashi Megumi gently bit her lower lip. "Then when..."

"Avoid the first three and last three months, that is, the fourth to sixth month, as this period is relatively stable..."

-

After a hospital examination confirmed that Kobayashi Megumi was pregnant, Kobayashi Sora notified both sets of parents.

The two had just arrived home when Kato's parents and Yoshinaga Hiromi arrived together.

"I told you Megumi would be faster~" Yoshinaga Hiromi said casually, but her eyes were fixed on her younger sister. "I knew it."

Kato's mother sat down next to Kobayashi Megumi, holding her hand. "Ah, yes, yes, you're right—Megumi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Remember to take folic acid, and make sure you get all the necessary micronutrients."

"Mmm." Kobayashi Megumi nodded obediently, her face slightly flushed. "Kong Qing has been thinking of everything for me."

"..." Kato's father opened his mouth, but in the end he only said one word, "Okay."

His hand rested on Kobayashi Sora's shoulder, squeezing it really hard.

Kato's mother chuckled, "Dad said this is a good thing. It's good that Sora is very responsible. She should pay close attention to all aspects of things in the future."

So how do these two communicate?

Not long after, Xiaolin's parents also arrived at the house.

They brought a whole bunch of stuff.

After exchanging greetings, Kobayashi's mother took Kobayashi Megumi's other hand and chatted with her along with Kato's mother. Only after finding that Kobayashi was not overly nervous did she begin to explain the purpose of the various nuts and fruits she had brought.

Hiromi Yoshinaga was playing with the cat when Kato's mother pulled her over to listen together.

Compared to the lively atmosphere here, the conversation between the three fathers was rather... well... calm?

Xiaolin's father took out a series of books. "This is Kitagawa Michihiro's 'Health Guide,' which is quite comprehensive, but it's a bit old. You should refer to these more recent books, but you should listen to the doctor more. Here are the contact details for nearby doctors, as well as a few of my private doctors."

Kobayashi Sora took them one by one, glanced at them, and realized she had bought the same ones twice.

However, there's no need to say it at this point.

“You don’t have a driver’s license yet. Here’s my driver’s contact information. He’ll be living nearby for the next year, so you can contact him anytime if needed.” Xiao Lin’s father’s gaze shifted, noticing Nian Gao walking by. “As for pets, the main issues are infectious diseases and allergies. Remember to get them checked out regularly, avoid adopting new pets, make sure they’re vaccinated regularly, maintain good eating habits, and clean their fur promptly. You’ll be responsible for things related to their feces… Petting a cat for ten minutes every day can effectively reduce cortisol levels, which relieves tension and anxiety. Emotional stability can prevent most problems and will be very helpful for you—I can see you’re quite tense right now.”

You're pretty much the same...

Kobayashi Sora answered truthfully, "Yes."

Xiaolin's father let out a long breath, his expression serious. "Pregnancy is a very difficult thing. As a father, you can't share this pain, so you have to shoulder your own responsibilities."

Kobayashi Sora nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Seeing this, Kato's father felt more at ease and said, "Okay."

Chapter 486 Emotional Fluctuations

"Pregnant?!" Eriri stared at Kobayashi Megumi's flat stomach. "It's not even showing any signs of pregnancy..."

Not to mention Eriri, even the usually composed Kasumigaoka Utaha was somewhat incredulous.

She's a year older than Kobayashi Megumi.

It turns out she didn't have a boyfriend yet, but Kobayashi Megumi was already pregnant.

"It's only the fourth week now, it won't be that fast," Kobayashi Megumi explained. "It will take at least until the tenth week to see any results."

“Some places have grown bigger.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gaze shifted slightly to the side.

Eriri's little hands were itching to touch it. "Can I touch it?"

Megumi Kobayashi: "Huh?"

“I meant my stomach…” Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, “It’s all your fault for interrupting.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Is it my fault?"

“There’s nothing to touch right now,” Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, “but it’s okay if you want to touch it.”

Eriri carefully touched Kobayashi Megumi's belly, and before Kobayashi Megumi could feel anything, she withdrew her hand. "How amazing..."

Kobayashi Megumi: "......" Is there anything magical about this?

“There’s life growing inside…” Eriri exclaimed. “Does a fight between pregnant women count as a group brawl?”

"How did you come up with that idea?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri speechlessly, then thought of something important. "In that case, it seems we need to find a different place to create."

"Mmm." Eriri nodded repeatedly. "We can't disturb Megumi's rest."

“We chose this house because it’s well soundproofed, so we didn’t have to worry about disturbing your creative process.” Kobayashi Sora sat down next to Kobayashi Megumi. “Now we don’t have to worry about you disturbing Megumi’s rest either.”

"Moreover, the doctor said that the company of family and friends is a great help and can alleviate my psychological problems," Kobayashi Megumi smiled. "So I'll be troubling you all from now on."

"Let me make this clear beforehand," Kasumigaoka Utaha declared, "I can be quite terrifying when I'm creating."

"Hmm... I've heard that pregnancy can cause a lot of mood swings," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "In a while, I might become even scarier than you."
