[ Months pass, and Junpei's body does indeed change ...
... much more dramatically than he could have anticipated, as it turned out he wasn't having one baby, but two, a fact that nearly made him faint in the doctor's office when it was revealed to him. Also a fact that made him cranky with Corrigan for days after. That was a fairly common occurrence, however, as in spite of his good intentions the older man still had his flaws and vices.
And so Junpei found himself eight months pregnant, absolutely huge with twins, struggling to get up from the couch as he often did. It would have been easier if Corry was around, but it was yet another night where he was alone. Stewing. Anger boiling up inside of him.
What a fool he'd been to be so easily swayed by honeyed words and promises. Was the other even going to be around for when he went into labor? Was he going to have to try and get himself to the hospital alone? The thought didn't just make him angry, it terrified him.
Finally getting onto his feet he huffed lowly, starting his slow waddle to the kitchen to try and fix himself something for dinner, hands supporting his suffering back. He wasn't really built to handle twins, but he had little choice. ]
