"Give me an Heir" overhaul x reader

"The Catering" Chapter Twenty Two

I don't seem any different. My stomach feels and looks normal. I remember in a health class I took they taught us that at 12 weeks you start to bloat, then at 18 - 25 you can actually feel the baby start to move. I'm not sure how fare along I am yet so I can't say for sure.

"Make sure to finish your food, Y/N. By the time it turns 10:00 pm we'll have to go." Chronostasis warns.

Oh, I forgot about that stupid curfew. Overhual had put me on a "pregnant health schedule" that I have to fallow so I could stay in good condition while carrying the baby. This includes specific fertility friendly dishes, exercises and stress relief hobbies. I'm genuinely surprised he's put in this much work into researching this stuff.

Eri had eaten before I did and was already off to bed, so I didn't get to see her. Hopefully she's okay and sound asleep now. I wonder what it's gonna be like telling her I'm with child. How will I explain?

Finally finishing my dinner, Chronostasis walks along side me to my cage of a room. A place I did expect to return to after today.

Oh well, I was actually exhausted so I was looking forward to sleep. After everything that happened today, having a dream to escape this horrible reality was just what I needed right now.

But not at all did I expect to see Overhual rummaging through my room when I came back. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Can I go anywhere without him being there?

Overhual was currently leaning over my bed spread, smoothing out the covers and fluffing up the pillows. It was then did I realized he wasn't exactly snooping around. He was cushioning up my comforters, making sure they where comfortable.

Overhaul had just noticed us come in.
"Ah your here just in time. Good. I've got everything set for you to have a good nights rest." He said, gesturing to my new bed layout.

I stepped into the room noticing a few new changes. The cover and pillows had been switched into thicker fabrics. Sat beside my bed was a brown wooden cylinder object. I gave it a questionable look that Overhual must have caught.

"It's a humidifier. I hear it helps during pregnancy. It's good for reliving stress and getting sleep, so I thought you could use one." He explained, picking it up to switch it on.
"It even has a speaker that plays nature sounds."

I blinked, surprised by how serious he was taking the situation. Overhaul always gave off the impression of not caring about anything, but here he was making sure I had what I needed to be comfortable. It almost made me forget how much I hated his guts.

A questionable smile spread across my lips as I walked across the room, sliding into bed. Kai folded back the cover so I could settle in.

This time there was no feathered coat, or big bird mask. Just a regular black mask. He wore a seemingly normal outfit of a black collared shirt with black pants. It was nice to see him look fairly average for a change.

"Your being extra. I'm probably less then seven weeks and the 'baby' hasn't even formed into an entire fetus yet. Still just a clump of cells." I claimed, snuggling into the sheets.

"Your three weeks. There's a difference between being extra and being prepared, Y/N. You mustn't take things like this so lightly. It's important."

Oh you'd know, Mr. hypocrite I rolled my eyes, as I tucked into the blanket.

The cover was big and thick I had shift a little to get it over myself. As I was doing so, Overhual took advantage of my occupied struggle to lean in and kiss the corner of my mouth. He must have been aiming for my lips, but missed in the process.

I was so caught off guard my mind irked in surprise.

"What the h- heck are you doing!?" I asked flusteredly covering my face.

Overhaul chose not to reply.

I scoffed.
"After kidnapping, manipulating and raping me, I think the lovey dovey flirting is waaay past due."

He hummed.
"You used to like my kisses. I thought you'd need it." He chuckles in amusement.

Overhual was just taking Mr. Chisaki's advice and decided to show some affection but obviously that had backfired. His eyes squinted as he gave a small smile behind his masked.

The corner of my lips tugged into a frown. I couldn't help but feel this way. It just wasn't right at all.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Is your bed spread uncomfortable? I knew I should have chosen the quilted one-"

I scowled, throwing my cover off me.
"Do you really think this is about some stupid blanket?!" I burst. God he's such an IDIOT.
"Your feelings towards are so on and off, it's pissing me off. I knew your where emotionally unstable, but this is this a entirely different level. After abducting me, raping me, and ripping me away from my freedom you think we could go back to the way things where? That's not how it works Kai! Your a sick twisted monster who's in desperate need of therapy!"

I huffed lividly after my outburst. I had so much bottled in, that's not even half of what I want to tell him. Staring down Kai like this was a brave step for me. For once I wasn't a meek bunny in the jaws of a wolf. I was a snake, fighting back.

Of course I didn't expect my rant speech to actually phase him, but apparently, it did. His eyes squinted into an expression of remorse that maybe a little part of him was still human.

I couldn't bare to stare at him any longer so I laid down and dragged the cover over my body, ignoring his very presence.

Not a sound was made for what seemed like a long time. Too long for comfort. I was going to check to see if he was still there but then he spoke.

"Sleep tight, Y/N." He simply said as he adjusted the blanket over me and turned on the humidifier sounds. I could here his footsteps descend out the room.

I couldn't help but feel like something was off. His voice just now... it cracked! Was he crying? No, imposible. He was incapable of doing that.

Did I... somehow hurt his feelings?

Well it was very much deserved, but... why can't I help but regret it? Like I'm in the wrong. I know I'm not, but... fuck! This is so stressful.

I decided to let what happen, happen. It's done. It's in the past. What I need to focus on now is getting sleep.

The sounds of forest animals and rain flooded the room. I was silently grateful for both the audio and smell it let off. It was as if I was laying in the jungle surrounded by birds, trees and rain, not being held captive in a place I had no idea where I was. It was indeed peaceful, the wave of stress rolled off my mind as I fell into a much needed sleep.
