Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or any of the characters. I only own the plot of this story :)
The beginning will be a little slow, but a good start is fundamental for a developing story. The first two chapters are supposed to be an introduction to the main story. Read it though.:)
I hope you like the story, so enough A/N now and let's start the story!
It was a sunny and bright afternoon when the Sawada-family went to the park to enjoy the beautiful day. Iemitsu was finally back from one of his secret missions and planned a nice picnic for him and his pregnant wife. Yes, the two of them were awaiting a child. And it had to happen one of these days.
That was one more reason for the trust-worthy father to take his wife out for a change.
Iemitsu laid a huge blanket on the ground under a shady oak tree. Nana smiled lovingly at her husband for being so caring and gentlemen-like, Iemitsu smirked confidently and winked at her. Nana couldn't help but blush at this. Then the both of them leaned back against the tree trunk in an affectionate embrace. They enjoyed the sun on their cheeks and the presence of the other. Nothing could break this peace and quiet that they felt right now.
''Iemitsu, what do you think will our child be like?''
Nana asked and glanced up at her husband.
''Well, he is our child and with such a beautiful woman as his mother, he will be the most adorable and cutest kid ever!''
Iemitsu started to laugh. Nana smiled at this.
''You will be a great father, I'm sure of this''.
''And you will be the best mother this child could ever wish for. I love you Nana, I hope, the little boy will soon be born.''
''Yes I hope for that,too. I don't want to walk around with this huge tummy anymore~''
Nana wailed. Iemitsu sweatdropped.
''Hehe...''
Suddenly the wind picked up and turned into a full-blown storm. The sky turned dark and thunder crashed through the sky. Nana shrieked and held her jacket tight around her body. Iemitsu put his arms around his wife, shielding her from the harsh wind.
''This can't be normal...I feel something approaching'', Iemitsu thought, looking around with caution.
''Nana, we can't stay here! We have to leave now!''
Iemitsu hurriedly helped his wife to her feet and put a hand on her arm, forcing her forward.
''Iemitsu? What's wrong?''
Nana asked in panic, clinging to her husband.
''Don't worry, just...let's go. Please, we'll talk later.''
The pair hurried along the path they had taken to get to the park, when suddenly a man blocked their way.
Iemitsu immediately stood in front of his frightened wife and glared at the man.
''What do you want?'', he asked coldly.
''Don't play dumb with me! You know what we want. Give me the woman, or I'll kill you all instantly.''
''No, you'll never get her!''
With that Iemitsu pulled out a gun and aimed it at his opponent.
''Nana, run, don't look back. Just go already!''
But Nana stood still, frozen to the spot.
'' N-No...what is happening? Iemitsu who is that man?''
She reached out a hand towards her husband, but he started to yell at his wife,
''Nana, GO! They will try to kill our child. Please RUN AWAY. For the sake of our child, GO!''
That pulled Nana out of her stupor and she backed slowly away.
''N-No...I can't lea-''
''Nana, I told you to GO!''
Tears streamed down her cheeks and she started to shake uncontrollably.
The man saw this as an opening and pulled out his own gun. He ran forward, but Iemitsu, who had been watching him, blocked his way.
''Nana, GO!''
Finally, Nana turned around and ran with all her mind. The tears were clouding her vision, but she still ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Behind her, she could hear the sounds of a battle and suddenly...the sound of a gun being fired filled the air.
She didn't dare to look back and ran on. She was filled with worry for her husband. She felt so scared.
All of a sudden, a sharp pain stabbed her in the stomach and she fell to her knees, panting heavily.
She cried out as her legs met the hard concrete and the pain in her stomach only intensified.
''No way...the baby...the baby..it's coming!'' Nana thought in panic. '' I have to ...go...to the hospital''
Nana stood up on shaking legs and stumbled to the next street, calling a cab to her. Seconds later one arrived and she slowly eased herself in the backseat.
''To the hospital, hurry.'' She panted.
The pain rolled in waves through her body. It was so painful and the fear for her husband made her feel weak and alone.
After five minutes the cab arrived and she ran as fast as her state allowed her to, into the hospital.
''Please, the baby, the baby, it's coming. Please help me.''
Nana shouted and collapsed. She fell to floor, finally submitting to the pain and fear, that suddenly overwhelmed her.
