353 False Alarm

Ignoring the subtle glances from other pregnant women, Akira maintained a calm expression, waiting for his girlfriend's turn to be called.

Upon hearing the news of Takebayashi's pregnancy, Akira felt an extraordinary shock.

It should be noted that every time they engaged in sexual activities, he always took precautions by using condoms. Even on Takebayashi's safe days, Akira would still use them, despite being given permission to climax inside.

Although the lifetimes of their past and present were combined, making him a middle-aged man, Akira lived his daily life as a young man.

Having a baby and becoming a father was too soon for Akira, who wanted to enjoy his youth.

So, he suggested that Takebayashi undergo a pregnancy checkup at the hospital.

"Akira-kun doesn't seem happy at all. Do you not like the fact that I'm pregnant with your child?" Takebayashi said sadly and disappointed.

"It's not like that, Miyako. It's just that this is too sudden, and I don't know how to react."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Alright, I'll trust you for now."

Reluctantly trusting Akira, Takebayashi rubbed her flat stomach.

The pregnant women who accidentally overheard the young couple's conversation gave Akira disgusted and cynical looks.

Women despise men who refuse to take responsibility after impregnating a woman.

Akira pretended not to notice the hateful glares around him and waited anxiously in line.

(Oh God, I hope it's just a pregnancy test kit mistake.)

In his mind, he prayed that Takebayashi was not pregnant.

He even swore to donate 10% of his stock investment profits if his girlfriend turned out not to be pregnant.

Although the chances were slim, pregnancy test kits could also be wrong.

"Number 33."

A nurse called out the queue number.

"That's our number; let's go in."

Standing up, Akira reached out to help Takebayashi stand, as if afraid she might slip.

Seeing his concern, Takebayashi's mood improved slightly.

Holding hands, the two entered the doctor's room.

"Please have a seat."

The obstetrician was a 70-year-old man.

"Sigh. Another young couple."

Seeing the youthful appearance of the two patients, he sighed deeply. It wasn't the first time he had dealt with young couples.

"So, Nakano-san, Takebayashi-san, what brings you here?"

Maintaining professionalism, the obstetrician performed his duties.

"Sensei, I want to check my girlfriend's pregnancy."

Akira didn't beat around the bush and immediately stated the purpose.

"Oh, please follow me."

The obstetrician nodded and asked Takebayashi to lie down on the examination bed.

Next, a series of examinations took place.

Unlike in hentai anime, obstetricians and female patients were not alone in the room. The accompanying men could observe from the side, eliminating any chance of the obstetrician doing inappropriate things under the guise of an examination.

Akira's knowledge of medical matters was not much different from that of an average person. He didn't really understand what the obstetrician was doing to his girlfriend.

He didn't care either. The process wasn't crucial; the result was.

About 10 minutes later, the examination was complete.

Takebayashi sat back next to Akira. Across from them, the obstetrician read the examination results.

"How is it, Sensei?" Akira asked nervously.

"Takebayashi-san, you are not pregnant." The obstetrician said bluntly.

"What? That can't be! The pregnancy test kit I bought showed a positive result." Takebayashi exclaimed in disbelief.

"Indeed, over-the-counter pregnancy test kits have an accuracy of around 97-99% when used correctly. However, there are factors that can cause pregnancy test results to be wrong, either false positive or false negative."

"False positives can be caused by chemical pregnancies, where the embryo implants but then stops developing and dies. Chemical pregnancies can increase hCG levels in the urine, causing a positive test result. Additionally, the influence of medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, fertility drugs, and certain medications for kidney disease, can increase hCG levels in the urine, resulting in a positive pregnancy test."

"On the other hand, false negatives are due to too low hCG levels. Pregnancy tests can show negative results if the hCG levels in the urine are still too low to be detected by the test. This can happen if a woman has just become pregnant or if a woman has low hCG levels due to certain medical conditions."

"Errors in usage, such as using an expired pregnancy test, using a pregnancy test incorrectly, or reading the test results too early, can cause false results."

The obstetrician explained in detail the reasons for Takebayashi misidentifying her pregnancy.

"In other words, Miyako is not pregnant, right?" Akira confirmed again.

"Yes. Takebayashi-san is not pregnant." The obstetrician nodded.

"But what about the symptoms? I vomited and felt dizzy like pregnant women." Takebayashi asked.

"You just had a mild fever." The obstetrician said.

"Thank you, Sensei. Miyako, let's go."

After expressing their gratitude, Akira took Takebayashi out of the hospital.

On the way home, Takebayashi's mood didn't seem good.

Akira might be happy about this, but he didn't show it.

"Are you disappointed?"

"Of course. Although having a baby is a bit too soon, I was happy to be pregnant with your child. But the result..."

Lowering her head, Takebayashi was in a complicated mood.

"I think there's no need to rush into having a child. You should finish your education first. Don't you have dreams you want to fulfill? As for children, we can have them anytime. Did you forget, Miyako? I'm very potent in that aspect."

Akira flashed a lecherous grin like a creepy uncle.

"Pftt..."

Takebayashi couldn't hold back her laughter.

"You're right, Akira-kun. I was a bit impulsive. We haven't even gotten married yet, and my dad would hit you if you impregnated me before marriage."

"That's not necessarily true. Your father-in-law might be very happy to know he's going to have a grandchild."

"Say that in front of my dad."

"Forget it. I don't want to argue with my father-in-law."

"So you admit it..."

The gloomy atmosphere from earlier seemed as if it had never happened.

Thanks to Akira's continuous comforting, Takebayashi became cheerful again.

Since it was too late to cook, the two of them decided to eat out.

Akira took her to a fancy restaurant for dinner.

After finishing their meal, they spent the night with a lovemaking session.

That night, Takebayashi was exceptionally wild, as if she wanted to exhaust Akira. Unfortunately, she was exhausted after two hours of lovemaking.
