Summary: Alto deals with a pregnant Sheryl.

“I feel like a beached whale!” An unhappy Sheryl wailed, burying her face to a small cushion. Alto stood behind the couch where his wife conducted her misery while clenching his hands uncertainly. She had been going on like this for the past two hours ever since they returned from their visit to the doctor.

“Sheryl, its okay…”

Sheryl tore away from her tear-soaked cushion and whipped her head angrily at Alto. Her blue eyes darkened with rage. Alto took a step back away from her.

“Easy for you to say!” She exclaimed before throwing her cushion at him. Alto took the hit squarely on his chest. Thankfully, pillows were soft unlike the vase she had used last time. Sheryl reverted back to her blubbering state, “the doctor called me fat! FAT!” Her sobbing increased, along with Alto’s anxiousness.

“No, she didn’t. She said you gained weight, which is a good thing.”

“Shut up, Alto! I don’t want to hear that from you!” She threw another cushion at him, which missed. “Especially when this is all your fault!”

Alto blinked at her accusation. Suddenly, the temper he had painstakingly been keeping in check blew the lid of his self-control.

“My fault?! How the hell is this all my fault?!”

“You started it all!”

“I can’t believe your blaming everything on me!”

Sheryl sniffled before using a mocking imitation of Alto’s voice, “Sheriru, don’t you think it’s about time we discuss having children? Remember that?!”

Alto narrowed his eyes. “Well, oh yeah! Remember this?” He dug up a bit of his Kabuki past and used it to mimic Sheryl, “Oh Alto! I’d like to have kids. Having a family with you would be wonderful.” Alto made feminine hand movements to complete the effect. With only his clothes marking his masculine identity, Alto was well set in his role as Sheryl.

Sheryl blinked in surprise before frowning in annoyance. She stood up and faced him, a spark of irritation crackling between them like electricity. The couch was the only thing keeping them at a distance.

“Sheriru,” Sheryl copied Alto’s swagger along with his voice as she paced a bit, “don’t you think we should start trying now?”

Alto was far from backing down, “Kyaa! Of course I do!”

“I never said that!”

Snort. “Oh that’s right; you were too busy eagerly taking your clothes off, going ‘Let’s do this now!’”

Sheryl turned bright red at his statement, “well, so were you!”

“I’m not the one who practically ripped my own clothes like some Amazon woman!”

“Well you were impatient enough to push me down the hard floor!”

“Please! You enjoyed being caught between a rock and a hard place!”

“Jerk!”

“Shrew!”

“Oedipus complex!”

“Exhibitionist!”

“Va au diable!”

“Ookiosewada!”

“Va te faire voir!”

“Are you getting turned on as I am?!”

“You have to ask?!”

As Alto and Sheryl crashed down to the couch in a flurry of heated kisses, Alto muttered something about how they should argue like this more often.

Note(s): Considering how Sheryl seems to have knowledge in French (episode 2), I decided to put a couple of fun phrases. XD Thanks Father Vi!
