Kevala was a nervous wreck today. She had woken up as such. Today was the day of her doctor's appointment and to say that she as not fit to be tied would have been a lie. She had almost snapped on Katsuri when he told her that he could not go with her.
Her go alone?
Was he serious?
Men!
Shaking her head at him, and stamping down her temper, she had moved over to the nightstand and grabbed her cell phone. Punching out a text to the one person she hoped would be able to go with her.
It was then that she had snapped the phone shut and with a mean little look at Katsu, which he only laughed at by the way, she would go into the closet and grab out a pair of jeans..which did not fit...
Grumbling she tossed them to the side and tried another pair, and another, and another...until their bed was a mountain of jeans. Oh come on!!
Growling lightly she dug out a pair of black, cotton, pants with a streatchy waist line, she slipped them on. Pulling on a light sweater to shield her from the chilly air outside.
After brushing her hair, she would turn, look once in the mirror, grab her purse and some money and head out the door. Not bothering to say anything to Katsu. Pregnancy hormones. They made her a bit touchy.
Looking down as she had made her way to the car, she noted the distinct bump in her tummy now. Well, what did she expect to happen? Heh. So with that she climbed in, started up the car and headed out.
When she finally arrived at the office, she bit her lip nervously. Looking around as she got out and shut the door, pressing the button on her key chain to lock the doors and arm the alarm.
She really hoped Rea would show. She was not sure she could do this alone. She was about ready to throw up from nerves alone.

Drea had been getting ready for her own day - she had several meetings her parents wanted her to attend as well as a potential fiance. There was a lot planned for the day. Thankfully, she'd already completed all of her homework, as well as the more important, and upcoming, projects that she had scheduled for the next two months.
She'd taken a shower, clothed herself - just about everything there was for her to do - when one of her maids approached her.
"Miss, you've a message." the young woman said. Drea simply cocked her head to the side, curious. She took the phone from the maid, with a smile and a quick word of thanks.
She flipped her phone open to see what was displayed. She didn't know the number, but from the message, she quickly found who the sender was.
"Rea, this is Kev. I have a doc apt @ 2:00 PM today. Could you go with me? If so, I will meet you there. Address is 2134 East Hollandar Ave. Thanks."
Drea bit her lip. At two o'clock? That was when she was supposed to meet her potential fiance. She chewed on her lower lip for several moments, before punching in a response and arranging for a ride to the doctor. She knew she'd catch hell for it later, but she figured that it was worth it. Kevala had been nervous talking about it earlier on, so she could only guess at how the girl was now.
Besides... The fact that Kevala had sent this message meant that Katsuri wasn't going. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine the girl asking such a thing of her.
She hit the send button before closing her eyes and inhaling sharply. She shut her phone, sitting back, thinking. Then, after a moment, she opened her eyes and flipped her phone open again, punching another message into her phone, this time to the guy she'd been told she was going to meet.
It wasn't long before she got a response.
She breathed out a sigh of relief. The boy was someone she knew as the son of her parents' acquaintances. She happened to know for a fact that he had a girlfriend that he'd been hiding from his own parents. It ensured them some form of safety for when they needed leeway for meetings or whatnot. They both knew they'd object to an arranged marriage, and Drea knew for a fact that he'd turn down the proposal whether their parents liked it or not because of his girlfriend of six years.
Soon enough, she'd gotten her other matters taken care of, and had returned from the last of the social functions her parents had wanted to put her through. She knew it was in order to give her some sort of edge in her own future - networking, making contacts and whatnot. That didn't stop the whole thing from being dreadfully boring and painful, though.
She was relieved when she was finally able to call for her ride to take her to the doctor.
They saw Kevala getting out of her car as they pulled into the parking lot. Drea got out of the car, thanking the chauffeur that had come on his day off, and headed for her friend.
"Kevala! C'mon - better now than never." she said, smiling at her friend.

She smiled, slightly, as she saw Drea getting out of the car. A sigh of relief offered as she let her hand fall to her stomach. Okay. She could do this. To the girl's words she nodded softly.
Yes, I suppose so. I have put it off far long enough.
Which was true. Hence why she was already showing, and had yet to be to the doctor. Though she did notice that she was perhaps a bit larger than she should have been given how far along she thought she was. But still. What did she know? Not like she did this all the time or anything.
Giving a soft nod she turned and pushed her way into the office, her eyes scanning the area. Good, they did not seem to be busy. Moving to the counter she smiled to the receptionist. Biting softly upon her lower lip before speaking.
Hello. I am Kevala Astaku. I have an appointment at 2:30.
Her tone was soft and hushed. Not that she was embarrassed but more that the place had a dead silence to it that she felt wrong breaking.
As the lady behind the desk nodded and told her to take a seat she would move to an empty chair. Setting down and now waiting for Drea to sit with her.

Drea only smiled at her friend as they entered the clinic. It was cold - as were most hospitals. It was nowhere near the caliber of clinics and hospitals that she'd attended, though she supposed that was due to her adoptive parents' wealth. Besides, with their connections to the hospital, she'd gotten all of her immunity shots early on. She had little to no chance of getting most sicknesses, though she couldn't say much about the newer types, or even the rarer kinds.
"You can do it," Drea assured the girl. She stood quietly beside her friend as she checked in, and then moved with her to take their seats. The room was deadly silent and cold in both temperature and feel.
"It won't be that bad. Besides, aren't you excited to find out whether it's a boy or a girl?" She did her best to engage her friend in conversation. Though it might still be on the same subject, a distraction was still a distraction.

She nodded softly, yes, she supposed that they would tell her what the baby was. And they would also tell her when it was due. But still, the thought made her nervous. But the thing that bothered her the most was the fact that Katsuri was her brother.
Yeah, you heard right.
Brother. Turns out that she had been the product of his father's affair with her mother. Niether of them knowing until it was already too late. Not that they cared really.
Sighing soflty she waited until she heard her name called. Grabbing Drea's hand she would tug the girl along with her whether she wished it or not. She was soooo not going alone.
Getting back into the room she would listen as the nurse told her what she needed to do.
PART HIDDEN FOR PG-13NESS
Okay, so that part was done. Thank the Gods Katsu had not come with her. He would have snapped that doctors head right off for the way he was touching her. >.>
Shuddering softly she would then get dressed once more. (OOC:If you dont know by now what happened then you just need to stop reading this thread. GO AWAY! Go on, get!)
It was then she would lay back down onto the table, pulling up her shirt as to allow for the sonogram. Her hand reaching out to grab hold of Rea's as she waited once more.

Drea followed obediently as Kevala tugged her along. Then, they sat for the lengthy discussion of what would happen, what to expect - all the stuff that gave patients more time to get jittery as all hell. And then there was the-- CENSORED Still, despite all of that, she hadn't been expecting the sudden death grip when the sonogram began. She herself remained quiet though, simply curious to see what would come up. After all, it could be considered a learning experience, right? >_< Well, she'd hope it could be chalked up to one, anyways. She stared as the sonogram progressed, blinking rarely. This... Was definitely something she hadn't seen before.

As the sonogram started, her heart raced at the sound of the little heartbeat within her abdomen. Eyes watering slightly as she turned to look at the screen.
But then....
What the.....
One
Two
Three
Four
Feet?
She shook her head. Nah, she was not seeing that. A nervous laugh escaping her as she turned to look at the tech. But the look on her face, as well as the one on Rea's said perhaps she was not seeing things.
With a light groan she would close her eyes and ask the question she already knew the answer to.
Twins? Right?
She waited now, her breath catching in her chest.
No Ma'am. It is not twins.
She sighed at the tech's words. Oh thank the Gods...It had just been a trick of her...
It is triplets. Three healthy babies.
GOD DAMNIT KATSU!!! Ugh!!! I knew something...! Gah!!
The tech nearly slammed into the wall when Kevala started cursing Katsu. Three? Seriously? She had know his genes were strong but come ON!!!!!
Drawing in a deep breath she tried to settle down so they could get this over with. Her mind becoming lost in the fact that now she had three babies, not just one, inside of her...It was enough to make her anxiety spike.

Drea counted the arrayed limbs in the image, eyes widening as she counted six. She'd blinked when Kevala said four - but had outright flinched at her friend's reaction to the medical profession's words.
She stared as the words poured out of her friend's mouth. Well, admittedly, it was fifty percent what her friend was saying and fifty percent awe. Awe of what? Well, that's easy.
Awe of the fact that Kevala was carrying triplets. The first thought that she'd had after hearing that had been something like... 'Well, at least they enjoyed making them?' The second was 'oh, dear - she's eating for four now!' The last thought that she had, which had immediately followed the second, was something that she'd said out loud.
"Oh, man. Your cravings are going to be off the wall!" Then, she blinked, before a slow smile spread across her face. "You can officially drive Katsuri crazy now." She chuckled peacefully at the thought. "Crazier, anyways."

She was....shocked. She did not know whether to be mad, happy, scared. It was all rolled up into one. Her stomach doing a flip as she let her eyes fall closed and her hand to come up and run over her face.
I am going to kill him. To hell with driving him crazy.
She let out a soft whimper. Her motherly insticts kicking in and her attention going back to the screen. Well such a thing could not be overridden for long ya know.
They are fine? You are sure? Each of them?
Yes Ma'am. They are fine. In fact they are rather large for the dates you have given us. Are you certain that you could not have gotten pregnant before the date you listed?
Yes, I am sure. You must understand that my.....boyfriend........has a medical condition. Makes him rather large. It is only wise that it would be given to his children.
Her hand still held to Rea's, slightly shakey in her grip as she drew in slow and soft breaths.
Well, they are rather large, but very healthy. Though I think the boy is much larger than the girls.
She blinked, boy...and ....girl"s"......She turned to look at Rea now. Making sure she had heard right this time. Not sure how to react to that either.

Drea grinned at Kevala's rant, even as she became intrigued by the sudden switch to motherly instincts. Finally, she was amused by the girl's surprise at the genders.
"That's right, Kev," she said affectionately, using the girl's nickname for the first time. "One boy, and two girls. Katsuri's going to spoil them rotten."
Of course, that'd probably happen after he made sure the boy was well capable of kicking some butt, and that the girls were just as capable of defending themselves.
And then, considering the sizes, she winced. That... would be really hard to push out.
"I bet birthing them'll be just lovely," she said dryly. "It's definitely Katsuri's hand you'll be holding then, though, because I rather like my hands."

Those kind words somehow brought her back down to herself. Turning back to the tech as she heard a printer going off. Then the tech handed her a set of pictures. Looking at them she could see the definate lines of three little figures. Though crowded together, it was very clear. Each had a little marker typed in next to them indicating which was which. She purred softly to the photo as tears filled her eyes.
It was then the tech made her exit, allowing Kevala to sit up....Her hand going to her stomach and looking down. Then she would turn to Rea and whimper softly.
You have to help me. I .... I do not think I can do this one my own. I really dont. I mean there is Katsu, but he is not there all the time. And of course Mitsukai, but...I ...I trust you..Please?
If she had to she would beg Katsu to move Rea in with them. She did not care. She needed somebody with her. Gods knew as she went further along that things were going to be harder for her to do.

Drea mentally winced at what the girl was asking. She wasn't stupid, so she immediately processed the many underlying necessities. In order to constantly look after Kevala, she'd need to live with her... And she didn't know how her parents would take it. She certainly couldn't leave home - they'd throw a fit and she'd likely be scolded for bringing the matter up.
On the other hand...
"Do you want to come live with me?" she asked, eyes curious. "Even if I'm not there, the servants are. Katsuri and this friend of yours are free to come as well, if you'd like."
She wondered who Mitsukai was, but more pressing matters included getting her parents to agree to allowing her friends to live with them for just under a year. She figured she could house Kevala and her friends in one of her own suites... Her wing of the mansion certainly had enough space.

She raised her brow. Go live with her? Hmm....No, she did not think that best. Katsuri was not likely to agree to such a thing. He had his own place and would see no point in having to live elsewhere. But that was fine. She could handle this situation easily. She would simply have to beg her big brother to help make the girl move in with them. But for now she would smile and shrug softly. No clue about her sneaky little plot to be seen.
I will have to speak with Katsu about such. He is funny about certain things. We shall see.
With that she would hop down off of the table. Well, slowly slide off I should say. Given the shift in her center of gravity and all. A heavy sigh passing her lips as she let her hand fall to her stomach.

Drea nodded at Kevala's words. It would be problematic if she were to leave home, but at least this way Kevala had an open invitation into her part of the mansion.
When Kevala slid from the table and sighed, though, Drea smiled at her. "How do you feel? Are you excited? Scared?"
She grinned mischievously. "Or shall we get going?" The worst of the ordeal was over... And she was sure... "You want to tell Katsuri, don't you?"

I am nervous, scared, and happy at the same time.
She nodded as she bit upon her lower lip. To the second set of questions, Kevala would look a bit nervously at her. Okay, so yeah, she was not really sure how to tell Katsuri about the news she had just learned. It was shocking to her, he was not as, open, as she. No telling how he would react.
I..I am unsure how to tell him. I think I will have to put much thought into breaking the news to him. I do not wish to upset him with this.
Yes, even now, she was worried about him. She should not have been, but she was. Nodding softly as she moved toward the door.
But we should leave I suppose. I am tired and need to get home. I have things I must get done before Katsuri gets home.
