AN: Yet another little drabble because I've been having major feels the past two nights.
Enjoy!
Also I don't respond to reviews often but I do read and appreciate every single one. It makes my day hearing from you guys!
Nothing could have prepared him for this moment. There had been several months he knew it was upcoming and inevitable. He thought he was ready. He thought he knew what to expect.
But no. He couldn't have been more wrong. What love he had felt before had been infinitesimal compared to the overpowering adoration and unrestrained love he felt now.
Tears welled in Yuki's eyes, and he couldn't care enough to wipe them away. He sat behind Tohru on the bed, the girl situated between his legs and leaning against his chest. They had been in this position for hours, the gray haired man kissing her head and comforting and encouraging her as she screamed out, her body shaking in pain. His chest had ached the whole time, guilt gnawing his mind away until his brain felt numb aside from wiping the sweat from her forehead, holding her hand, whispering words of inspiration and encouragement as Hatori did the same at the opposite end of the bed. He had done this to her, he was the one who couldn't control himself one night and planted his seed within her. Self-reproach had quickly given way as soon as they heard the first sharp cry pierce the air seconds after Tohru's body relaxed and slackened against him, her breathing labored and difficult.
Now, the former rat looked down at their perfect bundle cradled in his wife's arms. Their child... A breathtakingly beautiful baby girl with a full head of brown hair just like her mother's with a single streak of silver in the front. The baby cooed in her sleep, her tiny amazing hands reaching out aimlessly, clenching and unclenching. It baffled the former rat how he could've helped create something so perfect... So magnificent and innocent. Her tiny mouth opened wide in the cutest yawn Yuki had ever heard. He couldn't help staring in wonder at this little human that was now his entire world alongside his exhausted wife... Nothing else mattered. As long as he had the two of them, he could never be happier.
Tohru looked up at him, her endearing genuine smile completely contrasting with the sweat covering her face and making her hair stick to her skin. Her eyes were tired but held incredible amounts of joy and affection... She had never looked so beautiful as she did now. Yuki couldn't resist kissing her tenderly.
"You did it..." He spoke softly, so quiet he wasn't sure she heard him. He was speechless... His heart pounded heavily with love for his soul mate and their child. How it hadn't given out was a miracle. It felt so swollen, but in the most amazing pleasurable way.
"With your help..." She rubbed her nose against his.
"No." He laid a hand over one of hers, looking back down at the little angel that belonged to them. A piece of both of them. "You did the hard part..." He nuzzled against her cheek. "I love you so much..." She giggled, leaning into him more.
"I love you too."
