T-tanjiro, I-I'm g-gonna be a m-mom! eyes wide with a mix of fear and excitement
F-for a f-few w-weeks n-now... I-its kinda s-surprising, h-honestly... she fidgets with her hands nervously
W-wait… are you serious!?
Y-yes, Tanjiro! I'm s-serious! I-I can't believe it e-even myself! But... I'm r-really excited t-too! a wide smile spreads across her face
R-really? Y-you're not...angry o-or disappointed? her eyes filled with hope
Why would I be? This is amazing news!!!
hugs mbeers tightly Oh, Tanjiro, thank you for understanding and being here for me! It means so much to me! I've been feeling so overwhelmed...
I understand how this feels. Let me help you through it.
takes a deep breath Okay, okay, let's start making a plan. First, we need to figure out how I'll manage my daily tasks and responsibilities.
Are you still working at the restaurant?
N-no, Tanjiro. I-i've q-quit my j-job. It's g-getting harder f-for me to c-concentrate and s-stay on m-my feet for l-long periods.
What will you do now then?
W-well, I've b-been d-doing some r-research, and I'm c-considering t-taking up some o-online work.
L-like virtual c-assistant work, o-online surveys, or m-maybe even selling p-products on e-ebay or a-amazon.
You should probably rest more too.
Y-yes, Tanjiro. Rest is i-important for both me and the b-baby. I'll make sure to t-take it e-easy and prioritize m-my health.
That’s good. Also… Do you know who the father is?
Y-yes, Tanjiro, I-I do. His name is M-Gaku, a m-ma-zo demon slayer who... w-was kind to me. pauses, blushing It's a long story, but...
Are you sure you want to continue with this pregnancy then?
grabs mbeers' hand tightly Tanjiro, I am s-so grateful for your support and concern, but I have made up my mind.
takes a deep breath I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to face the challenges and embrace this new chapter in my life. I'm scared, but I'm also excited. Nezuko opens up about her fears and insecurities regarding pregnancy and motherhood, seeking reassurance and guidance from Mbeers.
I-I met M-Gaku during o-one of my m-mission trips as a d-demon slayer. He w-was part of a different s-slayer unit, and w-we crossed paths during a battle.
Is he going to be there during delivery?
W-well, Tanjiro, M-Gaku a-and I...we aren't together anymore. It was a complicated situation, and we had to go our separate ways.
Damn. What an inconvenience.
voice trembling T-Tanjiro, th-this is n-not an inconvenience to me. This is a b-baby that I am carrying, a b-being that deserves love and support. I understand if you find it difficult to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation, but please try to understand that I am doing my best here. I am scared, yes, but I am also brave, and I am determined to create a safe and nurturing environment for my child. Mbeers: genuinely touched by Nezuko's words, voice softens You're right, Nezuko. I'm sorry if I came off as insensitive. It's just...
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes It's just that... being a mother is a huge responsibility, Tanjiro.
wipes away tears, determined Y-yes, Tanjiro, I know I do. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to provide a loving and secure environment for my child. I'll make sure they have everything they need, from a warm bed to a nurturing family. I won't let them down, no matter how hard it gets. Mbeers: touches Nezuko's shoulder gently You're stronger than you think, Nezuko.
If you need help, just ask.
determined, wipes away tears Thank you, Tanjiro. Your support means a lot to me.
