Backstory~
A woman with beautiful red hair and midnight blue eyes panted and gave a loud scream of pain as she pushed one last time, a cry filled the air as the docters scrambled to cut the cord and clean the baby. "Ma'am, here's your son." A nurse said in a happy tone, she gently handed the baby..her baby to her. She pulled him close to her chest. "M-my sweet baby boy...my sweet Ren..." She smiled waterly as her son's cries soon became sweet cooes in the loving embrace of his mother.
-Time skip-
It's been three years, three years since the love of her life abandoned her, three years since she fell pregnent, three years since she birthed an angel, a light to her way. And now after three years, her long lost best friend stood in front of her door. "T-Taka..." She croaked out. "Taka!" She jumped into his arms and held him tightly, years ago when they went their seperate ways after school, they kept in contact. And today he finally gets to see his best friend's son. "I'm so happy! I can't belive you made it!" She knew he had a very tight work schedule, but he still made it. Her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, only one man had that soft, silky dark hair and those wonderful steely blue eyes. "Takafumi, I missed you." She planted a kiss on the man's cheek, three years they've been apart due to him working his butt of for her. A soft giggle and gasp caught her attention."Ren-chan! Come here sweetie!" She called out to her angel and pulled Yokozawa in, soon her baby boy wobbled from the living room to the doorway."Mama? Who that?" He asked confused and tilted his head to one side. Her heart melted at that and she was sure her heart stopped when her best friend, got on his knees and opened his arms out with a smile."It's been too long kiddo, I'm your Papa." She watched with wide eyes as her toddler went silent before giggling and jumping into the man's arms. "Rwallly? You are my Papa?" He asked and turned to his mother, who gave him a watery smile and nodded. "Yes sweetheart, he's your Papa..." Ren squealed and hugged him, crying."Papa! Papa! Knew you'd come!" It both broke her heart and melted it. She watched her best friend give the boy a kiss on his forehead and take him to the living room, where he asked him a lot of questions about himself and answered the child's own. It was 9 pm when the two sat in the living room together, it warmed her heart to see the man put her child to sleep. "Taka, were you serious about what you said?" He turned to her and brushed a stray strand of firey hair out of her face. "Yes, I was. I will be his father." This made her burst into tears, when he found out she was pregnent and her boyfriend had broken up with her, not wanting to be a father. He told her he was going to make things right, he had to leave town but found two hard but high paying jobs. He worked and worked till he fell sick, recovered, then worked some more. She felt bad that he was working so hard for her but he told her he wanted to be the child's father, if it was okay with her. So he would provide."Shhh, Nina. Everything will be alright, okay? It will be the three of us, taking on the world."And it was, every week he would travel back to that town and watch his child grow.
Ren was his son whether people thought so or not.This continued on for five years, till disaster struck. "W-what? I-I have cancer?" Nina asked the docter, unsure if she had heard her right. The docter gave her a grim look and replied."I'm so sorry ma'am, but you have heart cancer." Nina felt arms around her and was pulled into a strong chest, her best friend. She realized numbly, mind still trying to come to terms with what the woman had said."What do we have to do?" Yokozawa asked firmly, determined to get out of this with his best friend and son. The docter sighed sadly and placed a hand on a file. "These are all possible treatments for this, but only time will tell. With how far along you are in this stage, ma'am. I'm afraid you may only live for 1 or 2 years. I'm sorry." At that Nina burst into tears and cried into the warm chest as skilled fingers ran through her fire like locks."Nina," his firm yet gentle voice made her look up, teary, "we are going to get through this, you me and our son." He ended with a fierce loving look in his eye, she nodded even though she wasn't convinced. They went home that day scared as to how much time she truely had left. And that night was filled with tears and quiet hope as they told their son what they had discovered.They spent as much time as they could, but with Ren at school, Takafumi at work and Nina hospital bound. It was a little hard. Even then they still made it work. A year later, Nina was on her death bed. Yokozawa was sitting by her side, holding her hand. While Ren was curled up by her side, asleep. "T-Taka.." He looked up. "I-I...sig-ned, papers...s-saying that you a-are R-Ren's f-father, no m-matter w-hat." He smiled waterly and kissed her cheek."Thank you, I...I love you, so much." She smiled back. "L-ove you...nd...R-en...t-too..." He could feel tears gather in his eyes as he noticed her moniter slow down. He bit his lip when he saw their son stirr as if sensing their emotions. He shakingly held her hand and began to sing.
Sunshine, you are my sunshine.
She smiled, hand shakingly running through their son's hair watching as their son settled to his father's voice. Yokozawa smiled waterly.
You make me happy, when skies are grey.
She felt his lips on the top of her bald head.He swallowed hard.
You never know, dear.
She let a tear fall from her eye as she pushed herself to kiss her son's forehead one last time. His voice shook.
How much I love you.
"I love you both, Ren, Takafumi." A shaky sob escaped him.
Please don't take.
She laid back down, life flashing before her.His heart clenched tightly, kissing her hand he contiued
My sunshine
She gave a bright happy smile. He returned it.
Away...
He ended the song in a whisper, a tear falling from his eye as the moniter flat lined.
Nurses rushed into the room only to see the man who they assumed to be her husband with their sleeping child, kissing her closed eye lids one last time. The sight made them tear up. "S-sir." He looked over to them, eyes watering. He nodded and slowly went over to his son and woke him up. "Papa? Mama...mama!" He cried out and shook her."Mama! Mama!" His father gave a shaky sob and pulled him in, slowly soothing him enough for him too look at his beloved mother one last time before saying, in a sob ridden voice."I love you Mama." And kissed her cheek one last time before breaking down into tears, some nurses started crying at this. Yokozawa brought their son out of the room as the docter came in, giving them a sorrowful look as they passed.After all was done they made their way back home, Yokozawa made dinner though neither ate much. Then he had Ren take a hot long bath before heading to bed. The two of them had sleepless nights leading up to the funeral.
Both Nina's and Yokozawa's families came along with their friends, the casket had beautiful kanji on it for 'Mother' and 'Friend' on the sides and 'Angel' under the glass.There were bunches of flowers on the casket, in the casket and around the soon-to-be grave: yellow, white, red and pink rose and white lilies.After the funeral Nina's parents aproached Yokozawa asking about what he wanted to do about Ren. To which he replied that he was going to get a secure job, home as fast as he could and take him in. In the end his sister agreed to look after him as long as he visited them. Ren was reluctant but agreed after a while.And here is now, Yokozawa laying in the bed that he once shared with his best friend. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber, but not before he heard Nina's voice mumur. "I love you." One last time. And the only thing he could think was: Nina, I will take care of our son, no matter what.
