Be My Daddy
A/N: Okay, now minna-san! Rub your hands before you read this epilogue, releasing those Adrenaline hormones making your heart beat faster. And if your heart beats faster, your chance into getting heart diseases reduces rapidly. Cool, right?
In this story, I think I'll choose to be more mature in choosing words and I hope through my experiences, I hope to write better in fanfics and attract more readers to point out their opinion about my typing skills. Sorede, I hope you're one of those readers, so please sit back and enjoy.
(Prologue)
She looked down upon the baby in her lap. The red-headed infant stared back at her, hazel eyes gleaming innocently into her brown ones. Yawning, he continued his sleep. 18 year-old Ryuzaki Sakuno smiled weakly to her seniors that came to pay their respects to the deceased. Kikumaru Eiji, her close senpai gently stroke the baby in her lap, his lips turned up into a faint smile.
"Tomo's very lucky, ne?" He murmured at the red-head who stirred slightly at the sudden touch. Sakuno just nodded back.
"Arigatou, Eiji-senpai. Momo-chan, too." She stood up with the baby in her arms, bowing slightly as a gesture of respect before the seniors left the house.
She slowly walked around the house, checking whether there would be more visitors, maybe Tomoka's ex to come by. But no one came after the clock showed ten. The rain was drizzling outside after 8 hours of downpour.
Sakuno's eyes caught glimpse of a picture frame nearby the windowsill. She walked towards it and picked up the frame with 17-year old Osakada Tomoka. Sakuno looked at the picture carefully.
It was Tomoka, her bestfriend since childhood. The redhead was pregnant five months, she recalled. Three months before that, Saeki left Tomoka. His excuse was that he wanted to further his studies in Germany.
"Gomen, ne. Tell Tomoka that I'm sorry for her..," was what he said to her.
It was clear that he couldn't face Tomoka, for he knew the baby was his. After a week he left, leaving Tomoka hoping that he would come back yet he didn't show up even when she was on labour. Sakuno hated Saeki, the guy who torn Tomoka's heart so many times when they were dating, going out with Tomoka just to prove his ex-girlfriend wrong. Tomoka had been admiring him, and he accepted her love just out of sympathy.
Without knowing it, tears blurred Sakuno's eyes.
"That kind of guy..." She spat out hatefully.
The frame was placed back as footsteps were heard.
"Sakuno, what's wrong?"
The said woman turned around to look at her grandmother. Ryuzaki Sumire smiled warmly at her, and gently caressed the baby's forehead.
"It's now up to us to raise Tomoka's son as if he's our own. Ne?" Sumire searched Sakuno's brown eyes.
Sakuno nodded, eyes filled with determination. She was going to raise Chotarou like her own child. She was going to care for the baby, to give him all the love he deserved from a mother. Sakuno looked out the window into the dark night. She lifted her head towards the shiny moon and swore upon Tomoka's soul to protect the child.
"Let's all work hard together, Ryuzaki Chotarou!"
