"It's a girl!" The doctor chimed as she handed the baby to its mother. Hanna looked at the girl with love in her eyes. She gently coaxed the blanket back so she could see her baby's face and tenderly caressed her cheek. The doctors left the room, praising on about how smoothly the pregnancy went.
With the mother and daughter alone, the only sounds in the room that could be heard were the soft gurgling noises the baby made. The sun began to rise into the horizon, enveloping the once darkened skies with its golden smolder.
A few moments passed that Hanna spent gazing at her daughter, who still had not opened her eyes yet. But once the Sun light washed in through the hospital room and onto the baby's face. The girl gradually opened her eyes. Hanna could have cried at what she saw. Her precious child did not have pupils, the baby's eyes were unfocused. A few tears glided down Hanna's cheek. But despite that, the young mother smiled softly as she looked into her daughters unseeing eyes.
" My name is Hanna Hyuga… and I am your mother." She said.
The baby quirked its head to the sound of the voice and looked up with the curiosity that only a baby could have.
" I know that someday you will bring someone a great deal of happiness. She softly said. " I will name you Hinata because your eyes awaken with the sun.
Hinata started to whimper for all she could see was black. It scared the girl and made her fidget in her mothers arms.
"Shush…the mother gently coaxed. " It's all right, I will protect you as long as I walk among this earth.
" Hanna." Hiashi said as he walked up to his wife looking at the baby he yelled. " It's blind!"
" I know." Hanna mumbled.
" How will she be able to lead Hyuga Corporations if she is handicapped?" Hiashi demanded.
"Do not speak ill of our daughter. Hanna accused. "She will be a strong woman when she is older, and I know she will be able to overcome her blindness."
Hiashi glared at the baby before speaking. " Someone so weak could not, and will not uphold what the Hyuga's have set out for. And with that final statement Hiashi walked out the door. Hanna sighed sadly as she looked upon her daughters delicate face.
" I'm sorry Hinata."
