Chapter 4: For him and for her.


"Papa, when's mama going to come out?" Kiyama Suzu asked her father who just gave her a kind smile before answering her question. "Mama is going to come out from the doors once the doctors are done with the check up." He told her, to which the child just nodded as she held her teddy bear close. "Is mama sick?" She asked again and Hiroto didn't answer at first. "Papa?" But Hiroto only shook his head. "That, we don't know yet. But if she is," He began as a lump formed in his throat.

"The doctors will cure her for sure." He finished in the most reassuring tone he could and the child's face seemed to brighten at that before she turned to her teddy. "Did you hear that Hiro? Mama's going to be ok!" She exclaimed which prompted her father to pat her on the head before he turned back to look at the pristine white doors of the hospital. In his mind, he racks his brain for events that happened the past few days. Had there been any sign that his wife had a decline in her health?

But no matter how he thought about it, there was absolutely nothing that gave him the impression that she was anything but perfectly healthy. The closest thing he got was a small sneeze she had, but that had been weeks ago and was caused by the pepper that she used to season the food. So it was entirely unrelated to what had happened this morning. Just this morning, they were having breakfast like any other day, but his wife suddenly suffered from a fainting spell while serving up the food.

Fortunately, he managed to catch her before she fell. But one look at his wife's face showed how pale it had become, so when she regained consciousness a minute and a half later, he told her that he was going to take her to a doctor. While she seemed reluctant at first, she eventually agreed when she saw the worry in both her husband and daughter's eyes. So he drove them to the closest hospital to their home. But instead of going in with her, he had stayed outside with his daughter.

As more time passed, the more worried he got for her. But it seemed that fate finally decided to give him a break as the doors suddenly opened and his wife came out with the doctor in tow. Hiroto took note of the small smile Nonomi had on her face, and decided to take that as a good sign. He and Suzu then stood up from the chairs they had been occupying for the last twenty minutes, and walked towards the two women. "Mama!" Suzu cried out as she gave a hug to her mother, which the woman returned.

"Are you alright, Nonomi?" Hiroto asked worriedly, as the doctor cleared her throat which prompted him to look at the older woman. "Your wife is a bit anemic, which caused the fainting spell. But if she takes iron supplements, then there won't be a repeat of what happened today." She stated professionally as Hiroto turned to look back at his wife. "Anemic? But she gets a regular intake of iron and she gets enough sleep, so how did-" He stopped mid-sentence as he remembered something and his eyes widened.

"You also got Anemic the last time you were pregnant… Does that mean?" He didn't finish the question in favor of looking at his wife whose eyes seemed to light up as she answered the unfinished question. "Two months pregnant." She confirmed as Hiroto let out a breath he didn't know he had be holding before holding her close and giving her a small kiss on her lips. "That's great news." He breathed out before turning to his daughter. "Suzu, you're going to be a big sister soon!"


"How about Madoka?" Shirou suggested as his wife thought about it. "Hmm, well the good thing about that name is that it's a unisex name so we can use it even if the baby was a boy or a girl. But it kinda lacks something." She replied as she looked at the book full of baby names. "How about Kazue if we have a girl and Katashi if we have a boy?" She asked as she placed the book on the space of the couch in between her and her husband. "They're nice names, but they don't really go with our last name."

Juka sighed at that. "Since when did picking names get so hard? We had no problem when it came to naming the twins." She commented as she leaned back on the couch. "Well, when we named them we already had names in mind. I wanted the name Atsuya and you really liked the name Junichi. So when we found out that we were going to have twins, it had all worked out." He told her before adding. "But don't worry; we still have months to find the perfect name for this child."

As he said that, he placed a hand on the growing bump on his wife's stomach and Juka smiled at that. "You're right. No need to stress over this, we have plenty of time to figure things out." She told him and as if in agreement, the child began to move. "Oh." Juka muttered as she looked at her husband who was looking at the bump with amazement. "Just now Juka, did the baby just?" He asked and before she could answer the baby repeated the motion again.

"Yup, the baby is definitely starting to kick." She answered as she put a hand on her stomach and began to rub it as if to sooth the child. "No matter how many kicks I've felt from the twins before, this still never ceases to amaze me." He said before continuing. "Did you know? I've heard that kicking is the baby's way of communicating with the outside world." This caused Juka to giggle. "Then I guess that the baby was agreeing with what I said, so he or she started to kick."

A smile that could only be described as warm and full of affection appeared on Shirou's face before he replied to her. "Probably." He then took the name full of baby names from where it sat on the couch, planning to set it aside when a certain name caught his eye. "Juka, what do you think about the name Mashiro? It means pure white and it can be used for both genders." He asked as his wife thought about it. "Fubuki Mashiro…"

"I think it's lovely, and it does have a nice ring to it." She said before her eyes widened and a gasp escaped her lips. "What's wrong, did something happen?" Shirou asked worriedly as his wife shook her head. "No, nothing's wrong. But just now, the baby just kicked up a storm." She said before a chuckle escaped her lips. "Juka, what's so funny?" He asked confusion evident in his tone as she answered in between laughs. "I just thought that the baby was giving us his or her agreement for the name Mashiro too!"


"Natsuko, which flavor of ice cream do you want?" Rococo asked the child that was in his arms who blinked up sleepily at him. "Stwabewy." She answered as her father nodded. "Do you want sprinkles with that?"The girl seemed to ponder about that before nodding her head. "Raynbow." Rococo laughed at that. "Alright, I'll tell the ice cream man to give you rainbow colored sprinkles then." He told her before walking over to the ice cream truck.

"Hello sir, what can I do for you?" The man asked politely as Rococo made his order. "Two chocolate cones, one vanilla cone, and one strawberry cone with rainbow sprinkles." He told the man who just nodded before working on the orders. Rococo then turned back to look at the swing set where his wife and son were, but then he turned back when he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Yes, Natsuko?" He asked as the girl pointed at a something.

His eyes followed only to stop at what looked like a picture of a small toy in a poster. "That's a Kiyoshi Raccoon miniature plushy." A voice said which startled Rococo and when he looked behind him, he saw his friend Midorikawa Ryuji. "Ryuji, you almost gave me a heart attack!" He told the other man as the green haired man's face turned sheepish. "Sorry, I didn't think I would startle you that much." He said before he turned to the child in his friend's arms. "Hello there, Natsuko-chan."

The girl gave a small smile as she waved to the other man. "Hewo!" The child greeted. "So Ryuji, what are you doing here?" Rococo asked as Ryuji gestured to the swing set, where he saw his wife talking to another woman who was holding a child who looked not older than one, and his son playing on the swings with a girl who looked to be a year younger than him. "Just like you, I came here with my family; and I'm also here to get some ice cream as a snack for them."

Rococo nodded before gesturing towards the poster with the toy again. "But what did you say about that, Kiyo the Raccoon, was it?" He asked as Ryuji shook his head. "No, it's Kiyoshi Racoon. He's a popular new mascot for Amai-Amai Ice Cream." He said before adding, "Since the company is celebrating their tenth year anniversary, they have a promo that if you buy three or more ice cream cones, you get a chance to win one out of three Kiyoshi Racoon mini plushies."

Rococo hummed in thought at that. "You sure do know a lot about this, Ryuji." He commented which caused the other man to laugh. "Of course I do, Meiko loves Kiyoshi Racoon. So as soon as she saw the poster, like the saying goes, the rest is history." He answered and the other man couldn't help but smile at that. "So how many times have you actually gotten ice cream for the toy?" He asked as Ryuji thought about it for a second before answering. "Four times in two weeks."

Rococo's eyes widened at that. "Four times already, but you haven't got one?" He asked, but Ryuji quickly shook his head. "No, no. I've already gotten all three Kiyoshi plushies. Two of them in that four attempts while the other was given to Meiko by my sister, Rimu." He answered just as the ice cream man finished with Rococo's order. The man paid for them, but before he could take the ice cream, the man brought out a small white box and held it out for them.

"Sir, since you bought four ice cream cones, you get a chance to win a Kiyoshi Raccoon toy. Just pick out a piece of paper and if it says 'win', then you get the toy." The man explained and as Rococo was reaching for the box, he felt another tug on his clothes. He looked down to his daughter who was pointing at the box. "You wanna pick the piece of paper?" He asked and the girl nodded. "Alright then." He agreed before bringing her close enough so she could pick a piece of paper.

Once she did, she opened the folded piece of paper. "Ah, I'm sorry young lady. Looks like you have to try again next time." The ice cream man told her gently and immediately the child looked like she wanted to cry. "Natsuko, don't cry. We can get ice cream again on another day to try and win the toy." Rococo told the child soothingly who was sniffling, but nodded. As Rococo got the four ice cream cones, well three since his daughter was holding her own, the ice cream man addressed the other man.

"What can I do for you, sir?" He asked in a polite tone as Ryuji made his order. "Two mint cones with chocolate chips, one chocolate marble and one melon cup." He told the man. "Hey, I have an idea. Since Meiko already has all three Kiyoshi Raccoon plushies, if I win this time I can give the toy to Natsuko-chan instead." He offered, but Rococo seemed hesitant. "That's a nice idea, but what about Ren? Won't he want a miniature as well?"

Ryuji just chuckled at that. "As far as my wife and I know, he doesn't seem to like Kiyoshi Racoon as much as Meiko does. Instead he prefers Mikio Penguin more." He answered as a look of confusion appeared on Rococo's face. "What's a Mikio Penguin?" He asked as Ryuji's eyes widened. "You don't know about Mikio Penguin, too?" He asked incredulously and when the other man shook his head, he began explaining. "Mikio Penguin is a character in the new anime series Izuchi Goal!"

"Is it nice?" Rococo asked as Ryuji smiled. "It's a show about a group of animals who play soccer to protect their home from the villains, both my children like it a lot." He replied and Rococo's face turned thoughtful. "Hmmm, soccer huh? Rikuto will probably like the show then. " He told the other man just as his order arrived. Just like Rococo, the man had held out the white box for him as well. "Wish me luck." He muttered before picking a piece of paper from the box.

The two men both held their breaths as the paper was unfolded, and the next thing they knew a small bell was being rung, courtesy of the ice cream man. "Congratulations, sir. You've won a Kiyoshi Racoon miniature!" He exclaimed as both men let out a sigh in relief before they were replaced by grins. The ice cream man then went and got a large cardboard box and opened it, revealing a lone toy inside. "Oh? Looks like it's really your lucky day today, sir. This is the last Kiyoshi Raccoon we have in stock."

Ryuji thanked the man before paying him for the ice cream. He then got the last toy and handed it to the little girl who immediately brightened up at seeing it. "Natsuko, don't forget to say thank you to uncle Ryuji." Rococo said as the girl nodded. "Tank You!" She cried out as Ryuji handed her the toy and the girl immediately gave it a fierce hug. "You're welcome Natsuko-chan. Now, we should probably head to the swing set. Our families are waiting for both the ice cream and for us!"


Minutes later and both families were enjoying ice cream at the park. "Rikuto, you should start watch Izuchi Goal! It's really funny!" Meiko exclaimed from where she sat on the swings, and her friend nodded his head as he took a bite of his chocolate ice cream. "I will, but do you know Super Cyber Cyborg Dude? Ryoko was telling me that it was the best show ever!" He said as he waved his hands for emphasis. "Of course I know it! Ryoko and I watch it together a lot!"

"Really? Rika said that?" Natsumi asked as Midorikawa Michiko nodded. "Yes, in her last call she mentioned that she would be returning to Japan with her family for the summer." She replied before feeding her son with a spoonful of melon ice cream. "It's a good thing that Ren doesn't fuss around much when it comes to feeding." Natsumi commented as the other woman just laughed. "He's rarely ever fussy, and Ryuji always says that he got his being laid back from me."

Ryuji finished up his chocolate marble ice cream cone and watched as Natsuko's father cleaned up her face and hands which had melted ice cream on it. "Rococo, you missed a spot by her arm." He told him and the other male quickly wiped it before carrying the child who looked like she was getting sleepy after finishing her snack. But when he did; the Raccoon toy had slipped from her hands. Ryuji had managed to catch it though before it fell to the ground, and quickly returned it to the child as Rococo let out his second sigh of relief for today. "That was a close one. If we lost it, I wouldn't know where to find her a new one."


Shuya awoke to the feeling of someone shaking his arm urgently, and he slowly rolled over to face his wife. "Haruna?" He called sleepily before noticing her labored breathing and the way she seemed to be holding her swollen belly. Even at two am, it only took less than two seconds before Goenji's mind processed what was happening, and he only needed one second to get up from bed. With a speed that was close to breaking a world record he changed out of his pajamas to a new set of day clothes.

He then took a tote bag that was placed near the foot of the bed and placed it on the bed. "Just a sec, Haruna, I'll just go get Hotaru." He told her and when he saw her give a small nod, dashed out their room and into his daughter's. He didn't even wait until she was fully awake, and just carried her out of bed, only stopping to get her jacket and slippers before going down and strapping her into the car. He then returned to the house and carried his wife and the tote bag down in the same manner and after placing both in the car, he occupied the driver's seat.

As soon as the seatbelts were on, Shuya immediately started the car and headed towards the hospital. The ride wasn't long; it was only ten minutes tops considering the time. But as soon as they got to the hospital driveway, he wasted no time leaving the car and explaining the situation and the nurse called for a wheelchair. The next few minutes were spent with Haruna getting wheeled away to the delivery room with Shuya following after her until they reached the doors of the room, with a still half asleep Hotaru in his arms.

As soon as the doors closed and the sign that said operation in progress lit up, Shuya opted to sit down on the pure white couches that were for the people who waited. On his lap, Hotaru had returned to the dream world and he resigned himself to the long wait ahead of him. But that didn't meant that he did nothing, while waiting he called up friends and family, and to pass the time he alternated between looking at the time at his watch and doing some pacing, but not anywhere that was too far from Hotaru.

It was Yuto who had arrived first with Reina, followed by Yuka and Toramaru before Haruna's parents, his dad and Fukuro-san showed up. They kept him and Hotaru company at the waiting room, and while there was occasional conversation, the room was mostly filled up with tense silence. Finally Shuya couldn't stand it and excused himself to get a drink. He walked down a hallway and arrived at the vending machine. After putting some coins in, he looked at his available choices.

"You should get some black coffee, it does wonder for the nerves." A voice suggested and Shuya didn't even need to look back to know who had spoke. "I must look like a mess right now." He replied as he pushed the button for black coffee. "No, you look like every other husband who has to wait for his child to be born." The other man replied evenly as he also put money in the machine before pressing the button for black coffee as well.

"I beg to differ, I remember that there were a few men whom I know who managed to keep their cool. As we speak, one of them is standing right in front of me." He said as he gave his brother-in-law a meaningful look. "That was just on the outside. As for the others, assuming we're thinking of the same people, they were also the same. They're just better at hiding their real feelings than you are; either that, or it really just wasn't noticeable." He told him before adding. "Don't worry; everything's going to be fine."

"I know, but I can't help but to get really worried and nervous. I don't know, I guess it's the waiting that's getting to me." He confessed as he leaned on the wall before opening his can of coffee. "Waiting is always the hardest part." Yuto agreed as he began to put more money in the machine and pushing another button. "Even with two kids already, the concept of just waiting as your child is born into this world is still disconcerting to me. But you know there's nothing else you can do other than to wait."

Shuya sighed as he took a sip of the bitter coffee. "I don't think that it's ever going to stop being disconcerting to me." He told him before asking a question that had been on his mind since a little while ago. "By the way, who's taking care of your kids since Ul came here with you?" Yuto stilled his hand mid grab for the new can that fell down from the machine and answered his long time friend. "They're being taken care of by Fudo."

"Oh yeah, you guys are neighbors." He said as he a small nostalgic smile appeared on his lips. "I wish the others were here too, like when Haruna was giving birth to Hotaru. There was less silence that time." The corner of Yuto's mouth twitched upward at that. "Yes, but it went to the extent that we were too loud and were already bothering the other patients and the hospital staff. That had been a memorable day, I guess. It was the first time I had ever gotten kicked out from a hospital."

"It wasn't just you, almost everyone was. But you were allowed back in after a couple of minutes since you're family. Hey now that I think about it, after that incident the hospital staff became much stricter with the number of people allowed in the waiting room, didn't they?." Yuto couldn't help but smile at that. "They did. But if it wasn't for that, the waiting room would have already been filled up, or even overflowing with our friends." Shuya was about to agree, but instead raised an eyebrow at the drinks that his brother-in-law kept buying.

"I'm pretty sure that much caffeine is not healthy for you." He said as Yuto shook his head. "They aren't all for me. Some are for the others, and what can I say? It'll be a long night, or morning to be more precise, for all of us. I have no doubt that we'll need them." He replied as Shuya looked at his own empty can of coffee and sighed. "I think you're on to something there, Yuto." He said as he began to feed the machine with coins and while he was at it, bought Hotaru a can of apple juice as well.

"We should probably head back now." Shuya said as Yuto nodded before following after him. The walk back was quiet and uneventful, but there was a comfortable silence between them. Once they got back to the waiting room they saw that everyone was still more or less in the same spot they were in before, but one difference that Shuya immediately noticed was that his daughter was up and animatedly talking to her maternal grandmother. "Papa!" The girl called once she saw her father.

"Hey Hotaru, had a nice sleep?" He asked as he sat down on the couch and the girl immediately climbed up his lap. "Yup, then when I woke up I talked to grandma lots!" He said and Shuya smiled at how cheerful she was. "Grandma told me that I'll see my little brother in a little bit. Is that true, papa?" She asked as Shuya gave her a firm nod. "That's right. You'll be seeing your little brother soon, Hotaru." He said and the girl beamed.


But soon turned out to be twenty nine minutes later and the girl was about to fall asleep again when the light in the sign was turned off before a nurse exited the delivery room. "Mr. Goenji, your wife is calling for you." She said and Shuya turned back to face the others. "We'll take care of Hotaru, so go on ahead, oniichan." Yuka said from where she was sitting next to Toramaru, who gave him a thumbs up. Sitting beside them, Haruna's parents gave him matching kind looks.

While one look at Kido and Ul showed them giving him small smiles. "Now, now Shuya-san. You shouldn't keep your wife and child waiting." Fukuro-san told him. His father merely gave him a nod, but that was already more than enough encouragement from the older man. "Can you bring out my little brother soon, papa? I can't wait to meet him." Hotaru piped up and he nodded. "Of course, I'll bring him out to meet you all soon." He said before entering the delivery room.


Inside the delivery room there were a lot of doctors, nurses and equipment, but Shuya paid no mind to them. Instead his entire focus was on his wife on the operating bed holding a little bundle in her arms. She looked tired, but a proud and happy smile adorned her face making her seem absolutely radiant in his eyes. When she noticed him, she beckoned him to come closer and he happily obliged with the request. "He looks just like you."

At first, he didn't quite understand what she meant. But when her words fully sunk in, he turned to the sleeping face that was peeking from the blanket. "So he does, but he has your hair." He said as he knelt down beside the bed and gave her a kiss. The infant then chose that time to open his eyes showing his grayish-green eyes. "Ah, so he also has your eyes too." Haruna laughed lightly at that. "He's the opposite of Hotaru who has your hair and eyes."

"And your looks, don't forget that." He told her as he turned to look at his wife. "Now that the baby's already out, will you tell me the name you thought of for him now?" He asked as Haruna gave him a fond smile. "Hikaru." She said and watched as a grin appeared on her husband's face. "Hikaru, that's a nice name." He told her before looking at his child. "We've been waiting for you for a long time, Hikaru. Thank you for being born into this world." He said as he gently held one of the newborn's hands.

The child then curled his fingers around his father's finger in response, and made a small noise before closing his eyes again. "Haruna, can I hold him?" He asked and once she gave him a small nod, carefully and gently took him from Haruna's arms, making sure to support his head. "You should back out there. There are other people who want to meet Hikaru as well." Haruna told him and when he seemed reluctant, continued. "I'll just take a short nap. So, go on already, Shuya."

Shuya took that as his cue to go and once he was one foot out of the room, everyone suddenly started moving towards him. "Everyone, I want you to meet our son, Hikaru." He said as everyone went even closer to get a better look at the baby. "Is he my younger brother?" Hotaru asked from where she was being carried by Toramaru. Goenji just gave a smile as he nodded his head. This caused the girl to brighten as she addressed the baby. "It's nice to finally meet you, Hikaru!"


As expected, the next day, or rather the next few hours became pretty busy for the new parents as each and every one of their friends stopped by with their families to give their congratulations to them and to see Hikaru. Pretty soon, Haruna's hospital room began to be filled with flowers and gifts. One more thing that was also expected was that the hospital staff began to have trouble because of their number, and there would surely be a stricter enforcement of the rules later. But all that mattered to the Goenji family for now was sharing their happiness with their closest family and friends.
