"Kizashi the babies are coming" Mebuki called feeling a trickle of liquid run down her leg, indicating her water had just broke, followed by the painful clenching of her stomach, which told her that the labor would not be easy, considering how bad it already was.
At the yell Kizashi Haruno dashed from the kitchen where he'd been preparing lunch for them and his sister in law "Right got to get you to the hospital" Kizashi panicked for a brief second before picking his wife up and speeding from the house.
Sister in law on his heels as they hurried down the streets to Leaf's General Hospital "Do you even know their genders" Mei asked running after the duo, both of whom shook their heads at her question and with that they arrived at their destination.
Mebuki was taken away by the medics to rest in a room until it was time for her to push, Kizashi blew out a breath "Mei do you still intend on continuing the Terumi family tradition" the pink haired male asked in lieu of the silence.
Green orbs flashed in his direction "Yes just as Mebuki and I were raised in different villages, so shall our children, just so happens Mebuki was the first to marry and conceive" the auburn haired young woman nodded solemnly.
The tradition of the Terumi family was for any twins to be raised apart for the first twelve years of their lives before being reunited when it was time for them to be genin, it was a tradition that had been passed down to them and would be continued on now with her younger sister's children.
Who would be going with her remained to be seen as Mebuki was currently in labor with her twins, another sigh came from her brother in law "It's time, she wants you both in there for the birth" a medic came to collect them an hour later.
Quickly so not to make Mebuki wait the two of them hurried to the birthing room "Bout time Kizashi, now get over here and hold my hand damn it" the blonde woman snapped irately at her husband looking quite temperamental.
Paling, he did as told without arguing and held her hand, just as the medic told Mebuki to start pushing and by the kami it felt like she was trying to break every bone in his hand as she squeezed tightly bearing down and pushing as hard as she could to give birth to her children.
Her firstborn would be the one to go with her Aunt for twelve years all the way to the Hidden Mist Village, the labor pains interrupted her train of thought as tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes "Your doing good Mebuki, almost there I see the head" Mei soothed.
Taking her sister's other hand and helping with the process "A head of pink hair, kami didn't really think it was much of a possibility to get my hair" Kizashi made a joke only to wince as her grip tightened.
"Not helping KizasHIIIIIII" Mebuki sniped out, only to scream out the rest of her husbands name as the pain became to unbearable to the point where she didn't want to continue pushing but after another hour or so, where they'd been in there for five and a half hours.
A squalling baby girl was born "Oh she's beautiful" the young auburn haired woman breathed catching a glimpse of her niece and alerting her sister and brother in law to the firstborn child's gender, who they wouldn't get to see for twelve years after this was all said and done.
Mebuki was severely disappointed that she didn't get to see her daughter as she was taken away to be cleaned up "Just be patient Mebuki-chan, we'll get to see her and then she'll go all the way to Mist" the pink haired male sighed wishing it hadn't been a girl.
But loving his daughter no less for that reason, because traditions were important to his wife "Yes of course and we still have the other one" the young blonde haired woman breathed taking this chance to rest before the labor pains started up again.
In this time they came up with the most suitable name for their daughter, they didn't say quite yet as they wanted to see what their second born would be before deciding on any more names or announcing them.
Less than two hours later, the labor pains started up again and so they went through another giving birth process, which lasted for six and a half hours this time, a little pale pink haired, blue eyed boy entered the world with a cry and that was that both Haruno Twins had been born.
"Right we know what we want to name them" Kizashi said when a medic entered the room, his twins cleaned and bundled up before they were placed in their mother's arms, the medic paused before glancing their way.
While the russet haired woman stood out of the way for the time being "Sakura and Asagao Haruno for cherry blossom and morning glory" Mebuki announced dreading the moment where she would be parted from her daughter.
Named, her fraternal sister didn't wait much longer just a couple days until they were released from the hospital "I'm sorry but it's time Mebuki, I promise to take care of her until the time comes for them to be reunited" Mei said taking the two day old baby girl in her arms.
And just like that was gone from the Hidden Leaf Village, baby Sakura in arms, leaving behind a forlorn couple, to raise their remaining child, it would a long time before they got to see Sakura and by then she wouldn't be a baby any longer.
Just a week later, Mei reached her village and made sure her niece was comfortable in her new home before setting to work on acquiring her own dream to make the Hidden Mist Village safe for the little girl by becoming the Mizukage.
