Watanuki, Doumeki and Himawari are in their twenties. This was written with little thought towards the speculation on Watanuki's parents.

When Watanuki Ayako began feeling the contractions that signified that she should get to the hospital pretty soon, her husband nearly had a stroke (whether from excitement or stress she is, to this day, unsure). It was a bit over the top for him to start waving his arms and panicking, so as he ran spastically around the house gathering up things he thought they would need for the short stay at the hospital (most of which would be unnecessary, but would be brought anyway due to her husband's paranoia), she calmly made her way towards the front door and slipped into the comfortable shoes she had bought for herself for when she became too pregnant to easily put on anything with laces.

She serenely grabbed the keys off the hook near the door, and sat herself down on the small chair in the front hall that her neurotic husband had deposited there just for this occasion.

It was 20 minutes later that Ayako found herself phoning a taxi. There was no way she was allowing her husband to drive in the state he was in (it would also keep him from bringing half the house with him).

Six hours of waiting in the hospital, and her husband had managed to keep himself calm and under control throughout the entire process. Ayako had been mildly concerned that during the birthing process she wouldn't be able to protect him using her abilities, but the witch had assured Ayako that her spiritual powers were not a conscious effort on her part and that her husband would be fine.

When a sweaty and exhausted Ayako held her baby boy for the first time, she had never been happier or felt more complete in her entire life. Her husband was looking in awe at the baby, and every time he spared a glance for her, a feeling of pride bubbled up her throat.

"He's so tiny!" her husband touched the baby's tiny little head and gasped.

Ayako smiled at her husband before handing the small bundle over to a nurse to be taken to another room in the maternity ward.

"What do you want to name him?"

"Kimihiro."

"You sure?"

"Yes! It's so cute!" Her husband nearly had hearts floating around his head. He was squealing like a teenaged girl over a pop idol. She gave her husband a soft smile that caused him to leap and nearly tackle his wife on her hospital bed.

"Ayako is as beautiful as our Kimi-chan is cute!" He gave her a kiss that left a bit of spit on her cheek and Ayako gave a small smile.

"Idiot." She said fondly.

"She's so tiny!" Kimihiro gaped in awe as the nurse handed him the baby that Himawari had given them as an almost surrogate mom. Shizuka stood next to him as a solid presence as Kimihiro cooed over the little bundle before handing the baby girl over to Shizuka.

Shizuka had been mildly concerned that the baby could potentially have the same powers as Kunogi, but the witch had assured him that Himawari was one of a kind and that the baby, and Watanuki, would be fine. As he looked at the small bundle, a warm glow came over him. This was what it felt like to feel complete. He gave the baby girl a small smile before returning her back to her mom.

"What do you want to name her?"

"Ayako."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it was my mom's name." The subtle smile that Shizuka gave Kimihiro spoke more than words ever could and Kimihiro's brilliant smile answered before he leapt onto Himwari's bed to deliver a chaste kiss to Himawari's cheek.

"Himawari-chan is as beautiful as our baby is cute!" He climbed off the hospital bed and turned around, placing another kiss on Doumeki's lips. In his hurry to go back to the baby, he left a bit of spit on Shizuka's mouth.

"Idiot." Shizuka said fondly, wiping off the spit.
