After 2X years, Matsuyo, mother of the Matsuno Family, thought it was time to get another child. True it was, she was not the same girl she was before. She was a whole lot older (and only she was able to say so!), her body was even frailer than what she wanted it to be.
But if there was something positive about her now, compared that how it was before, was her sheer determination that sometimes rounded into stuborness.
Quintuplets weren't enough.
And she said so to her family, but only when the deed was done, after many prayers to Akatsuka-sensei. She was sure he would answer her prayers.
(And He in The Sky deemed it too hot of an image to not be fulfilled)
So she prepared herself, waited for the perfect opportunity – thank god sexual activity was one of the things that would not get interrupted by her NEETs! – and then…
...
"Dear Matsuzo, dear NEETs, I'm pregnant"
At her words, her family looked outraged. Of course, who wouldn't? Having a sixth child, with them entered already in their old ages and their children being already so big too, but still behaving like babies, unable to leave the house and acting selfishly with each other and the rest of people they knew.
Matsuzo was unable to say anything for a while, and he even shed some tears, unsure if of happiness or worry. Then words blurbed from his mouth, sounding as if they were trapped in a cave.
"… A child, at this age? Matsuyo, this is the worst miracle that has happened to us…!" – He said, grabbing her bony hands.
"But still a miracle, dearest Matsuzo"
"Pregnant!? We are your only children, okaa-san! Think of what will become of us!" – The quintuplets said in unison, while crying and doing tantrums on the floor. They were so big and so different, but in cases like this they still were one all together.
But Matsuzo didn't care.
She really need not to.
"You will love him later, I'm your mother and I know it."
"Him!?"
No more words were said that day, and not even Matsuzo's pleads for an abortion or her son's menacing words could move her from her sitting point.
She wanted, no, needed a new a new child, so she could remember what a feel of little hands and feet was, how life felt when being at their side, even when just liking at their faces.
Maybe that way the baby could change the stagnant air on their house, the one she was not able to give a solution to.
They came and went away, and against the incredulity of her family, she didn't change her mind. She did what she always did, worked hard inside her house – but still screamed to her children to at least do something there for fucks sake – and acted as if nothing happened, while her stomach grew and grew.
All pain was well beared, all complaints were shouted away.
Of course that was until the big day came.
And everyone was worried for her. Her health and her baby's was in danger after all, and even with all the "killing jokes" the Matsuno quintuplets had made against her they loved their mother more than anything. So they all together ran and ran and screamed at the doctors and clamed for death until the hospital door was open.
They saw her.
Satisfied, with a big smile on her mouth and eyes. Matsuyo looked older than what they all remembered, but that must have been because the pain they would never be able to understand, and the big bundle of tears on her arms.
A little boy, just like she had predicted. A boy who looked just like what they looked a long time ago.
They all got near their dearest mother.
"My family, Akatsuka-sensei made my wish come true. Here he is, your little brother." – She said, in between tears, unable to know if those tears were hers, the baby's, her husband or her children's ones. With one of her hands, she touched the baby's cheek slightly.
And so his name would be…
