Chapter Three: Talk to the baby!

Mikan sat beside the babies cot as she smiled and hummed to herself, staring at the slumbering baby who she had sung to only a few moments ago. He was happily in slumberland, dreaming of days to come and things that might never seem to happen,

"Shiro-kun, you will be so handsome when you grow up, like your daddy, I can feel it in my bones. I wish he was here, but he isn't." she stared down at her son and smiled faintly, then put her hand on the small tuft of hair on his head, her eyes twinkeling, "But he will be back, one day, I promise, and I shall always tell you about him and how wonderful he was. But for now, all of us shall be your family." she whispered, then leaned down and kissed him on the head, before leaving the room and keeping the door open a crack.

Mikan sighed, then looked down at her locket. How long would he be? She did not know that, yet, but she was sure he would return, he had promised, hadn't he? Mikan walked towards the couch and sat on it, feeling sleepy. Having a baby was hard work, but she loved him so much. He was the best thing that could happen in her whole entire life.

"Natsume-kun, wherever you are, I still love you. My love will never evaporate." she said to herself quietly, staring out of the open window as the cool breeze hit her face and she yawned, sleepier than before, she was ready to go to bed, when there was a knock on the bedroom door. She looked at her watch. It was 9:00pm, she wondered who would be calling at this time of night? Most of the people were asleep.

She walked towards the door, opening it slightly, and seeing Ruka there, smiling. She still hadn't forgiven him for saying those previous things, but she understood that he was confused. Ruka just thought that Mikan needed the time to let go of Natsume and fall in love with him, but Mikan and Natsume's love was strong. Mikan opened the door wider and stared at him, an eyebrow arched.

"Yes? Ruka, it's kind of late, and I just put Shiro-kun to sleep, and..." she whispered, but he walked in and smiled sweetly as she stared at him. She found it rude that he had barged in, but being Mikan, she let him and she silently closed the door, too.

"I came to see you, Mikan, and Shiro-kun. You look so tired, do you want me to look after him?" he offered, but Mikan didn't feel right around Ruka at that moment in time, seeing as he was trying to make her fall in love with him, but Mikan was deeply in love with Natsume, and she was going to treasure that love with him all the time.

"Erm, Ruka-Pyon, I'm fine, I assure you, just let me cope on my own, or walk on my own two feet, as they say. I am capable, I know how to handle my own child." she said, trying to think of a nice way to get him out of her room. She wanted to go to bed. She was tired and she had an exam the next day. She could hardly study because she had a baby to worry about, but she felt that she needed to finish school.

"But what if you don't wake up when he cries for his feeding? Don't worry, I'll stay here tonight and help you, Mikan, you look so tired and you need the rest, plus, we have that test tomorrow. Having Shiro is just too much to handle." Ruka said, annoying Mikan more and more with the things he said. He was practically saying, 'You're too stupid, let me handle it,' and Mikan didn't like the attitude he was using.

"Ruka! I'm fine, believe it or not, I am capable of keeping my baby alive! It's a mothers instinct, so please, trust me! I may not be capable of keeping a goldfish alive for an hour, but babies, I can." she said, and he raised his eyebrow. He didn't believe her at all, he never did. Ruka actually planned to get closer to Mikan, to try and make her fall for him and to let him become Shiro's father, and to try and forget Natsume.

Yes, Natsume was Ruka's best friend, but Ruka disliked him now that he had slept with Mikan and de-flowered her, but Mikan was happy he had, because she loved him so much. Ruka decided to take Natsume's place, he loved Mikan, but not as much as Natsume did. He was jealous that his best friend had got there first, but Natsume always had. Although Mikan had decided this for herself, this time, not because Natsume was the hottest. Mikan had hated him the first time round, if she remembered correctly.

"Mikan, I'm just thinking of you and the baby. Come on, I want to help you know." he said, and Mikan glared at him. She really didn't want him in her room, she didn't know what could happen to her. She felt... uneasy around Ruka-Pyon, nowadays.

"No, Ruka-Pyon, you're thinking of you I can't believe this, you think you can just walk in, and try and take over! This is my room and Shiro is my baby! Don't act like his father, because Natsume's his daddy!" Mikan cried dramatically as Ruka stared at her in shock, and then Shiro started to cry. Ruka moved that instant, ready to go to the baby, but Mikan pushed him aside roughly.

"Leave him alone, leave us alone! Ruka, if you really loved me you would leave me alone and let me live my life! I love Natsume-kun, not you! You're my friend, that's all you are! Nothing else!" Mikan cried, picking up her baby boy as Ruka stared at the door she went through, and heard her quietening her baby in her arms and singing to him softly, he then turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

He vowed to himself that one day, he would have Mikan Sakura and her son, Shiro Hyuuga. He wanted it so much, and he hoped to himself secretly that Natsume would never return, to die, it was cruel thoughts, but he didn't care. He wanted Mikan so much. He felt his love was unconventional, everlasting.

But he was just telling himself that, and it was only driving Mikan away even more than before...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Baby, daddy will find his way home, soon, I promise you that. I will tell you everything about nhim, Shiro-kun, your daddy was brave, he did everything for me, and he loved me, but he was very stubborn. Although... That's what drew me towards him, and I know you will be handsome, strong and wonderful like daddy. Yes, you will." Mikan said as she rocked the boy in her arms that Saturday.

Hotaru was walking towards Mikan's room, and had met an angry Ruka on the way. She had a strange feeling that he had encountered Mikan sometime ago and that she had, yet again, rejected him. She wondered if he would ever learn? But she hoped he never hurt the girl, or she would hurt him. How many times did Mikan need to say no before he actually understood what it meant?

Hotaru silently knocked on the door, and heard Mikan's voice from behind the door. She was obviously talking to her son about Natsume-kun, who else would she talk about? Definately not Ruka-Pyon, that was for sure.

"Come in." Mikan called, and in walked Hotaru, and Mikan beamed happily as she rocked the baby in her arms. Hotaru was amazed at how capable Mikan was when it came to her own child. She needn't worry about Shiro, because he was in safe hands. Mikan wqalked over to her best friend and held out Shiro, still beaming like the cheshire cat.

"Here, Hotaru-chan! You can hold my little baby! After all, he is your God son, and he needs to get to know his auntie Hotaru, doesn't he? Yes he does!" she said, cooing as her baby laughed and went to clutch at her finger and she laughed, smiling as Hotaru held the bundle of joy and saw how happy Mikan was when she had her baby with her. It was the joys of motherhood, she thought.

"You are so strong, Shiro-chan! You are, you are. You look like daddy, and you have mommies smile!" she said happily, putting on a baby voice as Hotaru smiled faintly and rolled her eyes.

"Baka, stop talking like that. Grow up, your a mother, now." she said as Mikan stopped what she was doing and smiled even more so, and took her baby boy back and kissed the top of his head as he gurgled cutely.

"But I can't help it, he's so beautiful and wonderful, I can't take my eyes off of him. It looks like I'm staring at Natsume all over again, but with different coloured hair! And his smile is so wonderful, I wish Natsume could see this. He would love my little boy, the creation we made together." Mikan whispered. Hotaru smiled to herself, she was so pleased that Mikan loved her son with all her heart, and still, she loved Natsume. That was hard for Ruka to take in, it seemed. She sighed at that thought.

"So, do you have regrets of what happened?" Hotaru asked, asking the question that Ruka wanted to know. Mikan looked at her friend blankly, then caught on to the question and smiled, shaking her head,

"Of course not. Why would I have regrets? I would never regret giving birth to this baby, and I do not regret losing my V to Natsume-kun. It was a special moment, and Ruka can live with it. I don't want him to ruin my happiness, because I know he loves me, but I love Natsume, and I always will. I believe he will return, despite what you all say. Just, let me live my life, Hotaru-chan." she said kindly, and Hotaru smiled, then went over to kiss her God Son on the forehead, and he caught her short hair and she smiled, laughing gently, then left once he let go, saying her goodbyes to Mikan.

"Go to sleep, baby. Mommy needs to sleep, too. You aren't the only needy one in this world, you know." she said, laughing as he hiccuped then grabbed onto her hair and pulled it. Mikan winced, he was exactly like his father. Natsume always pulled on her pigtail. Shiro giggled like a girl. Mikan smirked then laid him down for rest.

"You are a cheeky monkey, Shiro-kun! Just like Natsume-kun. You meanie! Let's hope you don't turn into a pervert like him, okay? All the girls will love it, though, because you're so handsome and wonderful, and special." she said, kissing him as he gently closed his eyes and started to drift to sleep. Mikan smiled, then went out of the room, leaving him to slumber...

9 months later

"Shiro, eat up my baby! Come on, auntie Hotaru and auntie permy are going to take you to play!" Mikan said lovingly as Shiro-kun stared at her, then pointed at her, his mouth tightly bound shut. Mikan smiled as he pointed his chubby little finger at her and gurgled happily.

"Yes, I'm mommy!" she said happily, when his mouth opened. Mikan was ready to zoom the spoon in, when he spoke,

"M-m-MOMMY!" he cried, and Mikan gasped, his first word. Mikan stared at him, then smiled and picked him up, tears in her eyes. His first word was mommy, she was so happy, and she kissed him because she was so happy. He laughed, then pulled her hair and she smiled, giggling joyfully as he kept on pulling at her long pigtails, and then clapped his hands.

Then, Mikan realised that an instrument was playing, she turned to see a violin playing by itself and raised her eyebrow in confusion, then looked at Shiro-kun, who smiled at her cheekily. She remembered, he had the alice of playing an instrument proffesionally, even without his hands! And also, the alice to make snow turn into crystal. She hoped he would make beautiful crystal things when he was older,

Mikan sat on the couch with him and smiled, holding him tightly.

"Shiro-kun, good boy, daddy will be proud." she whispered, and he the jabbed his finger at her locket, and clapped again.

"D-d-D-Daddy Natsu!" he cried, and squealed with laughter as Mikan gasped, and was silent for a few moments, then, she smiled and hugged him tightly, tears forming in her eyes.

She was so proud with her baby Shiro-kun...
