Chapter One: Welcome to Existence

Tohru lay down on her giant feather bed and sighed. Being seven months pregnant was a pain, and she still had two more months to go.

Not that she was unhappy or anything! The ever cheerful Tohru and her husband, Yuki, were both really looking forward to having their first child. Though both of them were also hoping it wouldn't be a zodiac animal, like Yuki.

You see, Yuki was part of the Sohma family, and the Sohma family had a curse. In each generation, thirteen of the Sohma's were cursed so that when ever someone of the opposite sex hugged them they transformed into what ever zodiac animal they happened to be, and the cat, the add-on zodiac member.

See, now here is the part that makes the Sohma's all too confusing, there was another cursed member, but they didn't change shape like the rest. Instead they had the curse of bad health and almost always died young, so the rest of the zodiac could live in peace.

In Tohru's generation the cursed Sohma had been named Akito and he had always tried to pry Tohru away from the Sohma family, so that everyone else would be as hurt as he was. And now he was gone, Akito had died almost two years ago, and no child had replaced him yet.

Tohru was glad about that, Akito had always hated her Yuki and now he was gone and Yuki was so much happier. And everything was going well.

Just to make it more confusing, there was actually another part of the cursed. One day, every other year, the zodiac members were perfectly normal, and they couldn't transform for a whole day, this being the way little Sohma's are born to one zodiac parent and one normal person.

So Tohru sat, spacing out and thinking intently about the curse, Tohru was surprised when she was brought back to reality by her water breaking.

"Oh no! Yuki! Help!" She cried out as one fact downed on her. She was about to have her baby.

Yuki, Shigure and Momiji came running up the stairs, Shigure and Momiji had come over to talk to Yuki and Tohru and were going to stay for dinner. Or that had been the plan.

"Toru-san! Are you okay?"

"I-I think my water broke Momiji-san!" Tohru exclaimed.

"But isn't the baby supposed to arrive two months from now?" Yuki asked looking worriedly at his wife.

"It doesn't matter now Yuki. We need to get her to Ha-san so that he can deliver the baby." Shigure said hurrying to the door, "Yuki help Tohru out. I'll start up the car. Momiji, you call Ha-san and tell him we're coming."

In the car, on the way to Hatori's hospital

Tohru kept twitching and saying "Ow, ow ,ow ,ow." Under her breath the whole way to the hospital. Then for a minute or two she stopped having contractions she looked over at Momiji, who was sitting in front of her.

'Wow, Momiji sure has grown up nicely! No wonder he has his own fan club now! He is soooo cute! Wait a sec! I'm supposed to be in labor.'

Then she said aloud, "Ow, ow, ow! Shigure! Are we there yet?!?!"

Yuki almost smiled, Tohru was in labor but still managed to sound polite, 'Boy did I pick the right girl' He thought.

At the Hospital

Yuki picked Tohru up and carried her in his arms, He practically ran into the hospital then strait past the receptionist, who yelled after him, "Wait! Your supposed to sign in!" but he ignored her completely.

Momiji and Shigure hurried after Yuki and when the receptionist called out to them Shigure yelled, "Sorry! Someone's having a baby here!" and sped up so he could catch up to Momiji.

Yuki ran into Hatori's office and yelled, "Hatori! Help! Tohru's in labor!" Hatori rushed over to Yuki, completely ignoring his patient who was staring at Tohru with large, scared eyes.

"Please leave Chironi-san, I'll reschedule your appointment!" Hatori said over his shoulder as his patient ran from the room.

Yuki set Tohru down on the examination bed then stepped back so Hatori could deliver his child.

One Hour Later

Momiji paced around the waiting room, hopping both Tohru and the baby would be okay. But he wasn't the only one, all the zodiac members and Tohru's two best friends, Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima. Everyone had scared looks on their faces, after all, Tohru's baby was two months premature and that is never a good thing.

Finally, Yuki came out, with a big smile on his face. "It's a girl!" He yelled. Everyone jumped up, smiling, shouting and crying, "Tohru cant wait to see all of you! She should be out in a minute." Then he went back in.

Yuki was a little worried, even though he had just told fourteen people that everything was alright. He knew only one person could confirm his suspicion, so he walked over to Hatori, who was washing the little baby off.

"Hatori, do you think this could mean that…" Yuki whispered, letting his voice trail off.

Hatori looked at Yuki then nodded, "I think your right, she was born two months premature, to the day, and she obviously isn't a zodiac member."

Yuki turned away from Hatori and walked over to Tohru putting a fake smile back on his face.

"Hey honey, how are you feeling?" He asked cheerfully.

Tohru smiled back at him then asked, "Yuki, what did you just say to Hatori?"

Yuki's smile faded, "Tohru there's something I have to tell you, about our baby." Tohru's happy face immediately filled with concern, "A-About the baby? What's wrong?"

"Our daughter is the new Akito"

End of Chapter
