Surprise

December 23rd. Snow was falling outside and I got that warm feeling of Christmas in my heart.
L and I had decorated the house so nicely- it was such a pleasant atmosphere, but the nicest thing about it was spending Christmas with the love of my life.

Just like ever so often, I had baked my favourite chocolate cake and brought L and myself a piece to eat during a break between the investigation of our current case. Even though it was close to Christmas, I couldn't stop investigating on the cases- it just felt weird to completely stop doing it. Justice never sleeps, after all. L might take that a little too literally...

"Here you go!", I said as I handed a plate to L.
"Thank you."

As I sat down on the sofa, I smiled at my adorable detective before taking a first bite of the cake.
"Hm... this is strange", I noticed. "The cake tastes sweeter than usual today- even though I've used the exact same recipe as always... I haven't changed a thing!"

I heard L sigh from his chair that he was creeping on as always while eating his cake.

"Honey, I have a question for you", he asked while watching me without a single blink, making sure to see my reaction.

"Oh sure, what is it?", I asked curiously.

"Do you know that you're pregnant?"

Crash. The shock had made me drop my cake onto the table.

"Honey, you've dropped the cake", L almost said in a sad way as he observed the chocolate rests on the table and pointed at them.

"I- HOW- why would I be pregnant?!", I asked with a voice trembling in shock.

"Well", he began as he placed his already emptied plate on the table, lifting his head to calculate.
"You do know that we-"

"Yes-!!", I interrupted him. "But that doesn't always result in pregnancy!"

"I know how shy you are sometimes", L stated with a sassy grin. "So I'm just going to remark that by frequency the possibility increases."

I gazed down as I started to blush.
"I... I need more evidence..."

"You see, at first, I thought you wanted to keep it a surprise and that you actually knew it already. So here you will have your evidence.
First of all, I noticed that you have been getting some mental changes lately. No- not mental- emotional. You have been getting mood swings."

"I'M NOT HAVING MOOD SWINGS!!", I protested. As L lowered his head as if to say 'I told you so', I realised that I had just strengthened his thesis. Before L continued, he placed his thumb on his lips again.

"Furthermore, there is your sense of taste. Do you remember what you said just a short while ago? 'The cake tastes differently'. No, this isn't just a coincidence. You might not remember, but similar things have happened during the last two months, proving that your taste buds are starting to change. This is a typical indicator of pregnancy during the first trimester.
Apart from that, there is something you will have subconsciously noticed yourself but chose to repress. The female body is obvious- it sends the woman signals, yes, signals as if to complain whenever that woman doesn't bear a child yet, every month, in fact. Now- think about it- when was the last time you've received such signals?"

All colour seemed to fade from my face.

He was correct.

"It's... it's been three months", I whispered. "How could I surpress this...?"

"Well", L calmly continued, "I assume that you subconsciously surpressed it due to fear. You are not certain whether-"

Burying my face in my hands, I suddenly started sobbing.
Even though I was not able to see L, I could hear him approach me. Then, he gently took my hands away from my face.
Surprisingly, there was no confusion in his face. Rather than confusion, his face mirrored understatement.

"L... what if I'm going to be a terrible mother??", I cried.
"I don't know how to raise a child- what if I'm going to be a horrible mother?! I don't want our child to hate me!"

"That could never happen", L assured in a softer voice as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
"One of the reasons I've fallen in love with you is your big heart. That characteristic allows you to deal with other human beings so well."

"You're... analysing me again", I said in slight amusement as I wiped my tears away.

"That is a cross you have to bear for having a detective boyfriend", L teased.

I giggled even though tears were still falling from my face.
L's face became more serious again as he scratched his head nervously.

"Was that the only reason you were sad? Or..."

I nodded quickly.
"The first shock only, yes. I don't want you to think I would not want this..." Smiling, I buried my face in his chest and wrapped my arms around his arched back.
"You are literally going to be the sweetest father in the world..."
