Tummy Button Tickles

Mission: Mission 1 - Angstrom Operation
Location: Sickbay

After the uplink had been installed, Amu had a little time to relax before the away mission was scheduled to begin. Being pregnant was exhausting for her. It didn't help that the Hornets full medical staff were not all fully trained or on board yet. Most of them were now attending to other duties leaving her alone in the main sickbay. She had relaxed backwards in the chair behind her desk, simply going over the medical records of the away team. She needed a baseline for them in case anything happened to compare to. She was far too into her reading to notice that Ikuto had snuck in through the other door.
"Guess who!" he said as he covered her eyes. Amu jumped slightly at the sudden surprise.
"Ikuto!" she said outloud a little startled. "What are you doing here?" she asked confused.

Ikuto smirked. "I got off a little early for break. So I came down to see how the most beautiful pregnant girl on the ship is" he told her. Amu rolled her eyes, this was typical Ikuto behaviour. She had noticed that in recent months since the start of her pregnancy that Ikuto had started to see more of her throughout the day than ever before, sometimes finding every little opportunity to 'check in'.
"Are you checking in on me again. You know, its not going to make the baby come any faster" she sighed.
"Oh I know. But I want the baby to know that daddy's always around" he said as he placed a single hand on Amu's swollen out belly. Be gripped the fabric and began to pull it up towards Amu's chest.
"Not here Ikuto, I know you want to touch and feel, but I'm on duty right now" Amu said holding down her uniform.

Ikuto crouched down. "Yes, but no one is here right now. Plus, I just can't wait. I really want to have a feel"
Amu sighed once more. It was a good thing she loved him more than anything else. She looked around through the glass windows at the empty sickbay. "Ok, just one quick feel. Then you need to get out of here. Its not good practice to be..." she was taken off guard by Ikuto quickly whisking up her uniform shirt.

Amu winced slightly as her shirt was pulled up.
"Whats wrong?" Ikuto asked.
"You know its sensitive!" she said pointing down at her belly button which was popped out. Ikuto smiled as he rounded around her and looked her in the eyes.
"Sorry sweetheart, will this make it better?" he said placing his lips over Amu's belly button as if kissing it better. His lips were warm against her skin and she simply smiled. He really did love her and the baby, no wonder he was so protective.
"A little, although you've always been fascinated by it" she giggled. It was true, ever since they had met Ikuto had had an unhealthy obsession with her belly, her navel included.
"Well, its just such a pretty part of your body, seconded only by your beautiful face and eyes" he explained softly. He slowly began to massage her stomach with both hands. Amu could feel the baby inside her responding to his voice, occassionally kicking. "Oh, our little one is kicking"
"Must be because he/she knows that daddy is here with mummy right now" Amu replied. She had noticed that the baby would respond to Ikuto's voice, especially when he was smothering both of them like this.

"So" Ikuto asked as hie finger circled around the tiny little mound that was Amu's navel. "How long until we get to meet this wonderful new life we've made?" he asked. He never was good with timings.
"A couple of months yet. He/she is still cooking in there, although he/she is already tiring me out" Amu told him. Ikuto grinned. He was loking forward to becoming a father, and he could never have imagined he would have scored such a beautiful women like Amu to help that happen.
"Listen you, this is daddy speaking. Stop making mummy tired! Thats my job!" he said in a fatherish tone, pushing down her navel causing it to flatten and then slowly rise again.
"Ikuto!" Amu said. "Stop poking my belly button down! You did that last night and you know its sensitive!" Amu said scolding him slightly. She wasn't going to admit it to him, but the small dull pain she got when he did that for some reason, did actually feel quite nice.
Ikuto chuckled. "I'm just disciplining our son or daughter in there. They've got to learn that if they're going to make you tired, it won't be good for when they have siblings inside here" he smirked.

Amu stared at him. "You mean, you want more after this one?" she asked.
"Why of course" Ikuto said. "No child should grow up lonely. Plus, it means I get more time to play with you" he told her with a wink. "Oh and this!" he added, flicking her belly button causing Amu to wince again.
"Ikuto!" Amu warned.
Ikuto laughed. "Sorry, sorry. I couldn't resist" he said. He closed in closer to Amu's belly and placed a long kiss on her navel. "I'll see you again tonight little one, be good for mummy in there while she's working"
Rising up, he moved in closer to Amu and kissed her on the lips. The passionate draw out kiss seemed to last forever before he finally broke free. "I've got to get back, I'll see you later" he said with a cheeky grin. He ran his fingers through her hair gently before kissing her on the forehead and leaving the office. Amu sat there for a few seconds, she placed both hands on her exposed stomach.
"He really is a hopeless romantic" she sighed as she pulled down her shirt. "Thank god no one was around" she sighed. Picking up the PADD she began reading, the baby inside her gave her a rather strong kick. "Oh be patient kiddo, daddy will see you tonight. No doubt he'll be spending more time with you than me..."
