Chapter 2: Hikari is born

"Here you go, Usui-san," the nurse said, carefully handing over a bundle of blankets to Misaki Usui.

Misaki gently cradled the newborn baby in her arms. The baby was beautiful for her, with its tuft of dark blonde hair and slightly distinguishable twinkling green eyes, fluttering now and then.

"Congratulations, Usui-san, it's a girl," said the nurse, smiling at her sincerely. "I'll call your husband and your son now, is that okay?"

"Sure."

Misaki kissed her newborn on her small forehead, and adorably her tiny hands lightly touched her mother's nose. She smiled at the act. The sound of the door opening let her look up– Takumi Usui and their soon-to-be five year old son, Keiichi, approached her.

"Hikari it is," Takumi said with a proud grin. "Now let me hold daddy's little angel." He gently took the baby bundled in white blankets from Misaki's arms. Once again, he had that chibi grin plastered on his face. "She's so going to be chased by hundreds of men." He snickered, completely unaware that Misaki was building up a dark aura around her and that Keiichi was still wondering what his father meant.

"You perverted outer–" Misaki blinked twice. "What happened to your hand?"

"Oh, nothing, I just think you've mistaken it as a squeezing ball while you were in labor," said Takumi simply.

Misaki lightly blushed. "Ah, sorry..."
