Two months passed and Revy was near the end of her pregnancy and as such she spent most of her time at HQ or the rip off church. Her days comprised of drinking or gambling on poker with Eda, or sleeping and or lazing around at the Lagoon company. This particular night they Lagoon company happened to returning from a rather easy mission when Revy began to feel what she thought to be seasick, as she couldnt stand up right and her abdomen was numb. Dutch noticed her standing in the cabin of the boat, legs strained and holding herself up by the latter to the deck. "Revy, You ok over there? Not about to throw up are ya" "Nah.. Just feelin' shitty in general thats all." Dutch left it as she said, taking her word for it. After a few minutes at looking at clear blue sea, she felt the need to use the bathroom and when she went to move, she felt a gush of water and a crash of pain in her abdomen. Dutch hear something hit the ground, it was Revy. "Aw Shit!" Dutch said jumping outta his chair. Don't tell me you.." Revy not one for this kinda pain, gripped at her stomache and grabbed Dutches shirt by the collar. "Get Rock.. Get Benny.. Get Somebody... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS KID DOING TO ME!" She yelled at him before yanking her hands off his shirt. Rock heard her screams from outside and opened the door above Revy and looked in. "What's going on?!" He exclaimed "This damn kids about to cut itself outta me with a rusty old kitchen knife!" She replied to him as Dutch Radioed the rip off church. Rock made his way down and helped Revy stand with help as Dutch called back to the pair, according to the ol' lady Revy's water broke.
That baby's coming, and its coming now. In the cabin of my damn boat.." The last part Dutch seemed rather annoyed at but eventually got up and helped rock get Revy to a laying position, before Dutch returned to the controls and drove like hell toward the docks. Revy laid on the cold metal ship floor, her head on Rocks stomache, laying between his legs as she squeezed his hand as he tried to calm her down and keep her calm. By the time they reached the docks Revy was screaming in agony. Dutch ran up the latter and pulled the ship into the Lagoon company HQ basement like garage. Eda and the old lady had already shown up as Rock, Eda, and the ol' ladied helped Revy outta the boat, off it, and inside. They managed to get her to her bedroom, and slipped off her jean shorts, Dutch and Benny stayed outside the room. The sex had worked, the babys head was crowning. Rock sat at her bedside, letting her scream her head off from the pain. Revy actually began to listen as they told her to push, feeling slightly better every time she had.
After a few pushes, the pain stopped for a moment, and as Revy was about to pass out from enduring such pain, she heard a gurgle as the windpipe was cleared, and a loud cry. It was a baby's cry. Revy opened her eyes and leaned forward to see what had just come out of her body. Eda was covered up to her elbows in blood as a wailing tiny baby flailed in her arms. "You just got yourself a little man Revy, its a boy." Was all she said. Revy couldnt help but smile, and she felt Rock squeeze at her hand. Revy panted harshly as she spoke. "A... Boy.." the old woman and Eda just smiled and Revy's eyes started to roll back but the ol' lady knocked her back to half consciousness. "Revy, your still not done, you still need to deliver the afterbirth." She told her as a wave of pain hit. She let out another pained grunt, and before long everything was out that needed to be. Right before she lost consciousness, Revy heard Rock be asked to cut a chord. "Dont you cut... a single thing on him... I didnt carry him for 9 months to be killed this early.." She mumbled half coherently. "The unbilical cord is how he got his food and nutrients from you, now that he's born he doesnt need it to develop further." She was told, and a organ hanging off her babys body was cut and tied off. The baby began to cry louder. "You hurt my son.. I'll kill you.." She said emptily, weakly sitting up, but getting dizzy and laying back. Eda handed the wailing newborn to rock and he held the child close for a moment before walking over to Revy. He could see her half there, but even so, he laid the crying child on her chest.
Revy opened her eyes a bit more and her hands went to the crying creature ontop of her. She looked down, and at the baby. He was still covered in blood and afterbirth, but Revy couldnt stop smiling. Rock picked up Revy's shoulders and sat her up between his legs, letting her lean her head back against his stomache. "Hey there... 'Lil Asskicker... So your the one thats been getting away with beating me up in there huh... I'm the bitch ya been livin' in the past few months.." She mumbled at the child and the baby slowly stopped crying as Revy spoke. "Rin..." She said, "Thats your name.." "I like it.." Rock agreed. " Rin... Robert... Okajima.." She mumbled, and with that, Revy lost consciousness. While this was happening, Eda and the ol' lady got to work stopping Revy's bleeding, as well as cleaning up as much of the mess as they could. As the clean up came to a close, Eda glanced up at the three people at the head of the bed. They looked like what her childhood friend had always wanted but never had. Parents that love each other, and a baby made from that. Any other time or place Eda would have been touched by the extent of a miracle the lord had given Revy. It was a shame she had to take it the little one from her.
At least it was on Revy's request, to protect the child. This would be harder than originally thought, Eda saw it in Revy's eyes. Revy had to have just gotten attached to the child, after all, it was hers. While Eda was stuck thinking, the ol' lady approached the snoozing new mother. "I think we should let her rest, and clean him up... Does he have a name yet?" She asked Rock quietly as she gently moved Revy's hands off the baby. "His name is Rin" Rock told her. The ol' lady cradled the baby, who fussed as soon as it felt the touch of someone other then Revy. "You should let her rest too dear. She needs to sleep off all that stress on her body. Rock nodded and grabbed a pillow from behind himself, and gently maneuvered Revy's head onto the pillow, and slipped out of her her head, covering her up with a blanket, following the other two women out of the room.
Rock saw Edda and the ol' lady take off with the baby toward the kitchen. Rock made his way into the livingroom and plopped down on the couch for a second to process what exactly just happened. It seemed seconds had passed and Edda wandered out of the kitchen, nun headdress off, and a little bundle in her arms. "Rockie baby," she called. Not flirtingly this time. "Would you like to hold your son? He's a feisty one, already." She said with a chuckle. Rock looked up from holding his hands to his head as he bent forward. His eyes settled on the white towel, Edda reading behind the look as she stepped closer, bending down and setting the child in Rock's arms. Rock felt nervous, as if that a simple move of his body would somehow harm the tiny being in front of him. The baby must have felt this and he began to fuss. "Baby's have good perception. They are fresh from the arms of God. They know what kind of people are going to keep them safe. And If your scared, so is he." Edda told him before leaving to exit the room. Rock looked up at her as she spoke, and then back down to his son. Rin, his flesh and blood, he and Revy's. They had made something this fragile? This Frail? This... Beautiful. Rin, Rock just sat there, looking at his son for a bit and he slowly quieted. After a bit off silent bonding, baby Rin slowly began to open his eyes, and look up at Rock. He had big brilliantly brown eyes. Rock didnt know what Revy looked like as a newborn, but something told him that Rin looked just like his mother.
Rock smiled at the child and his shoulders relaxed a bit, as he began to speak to his son. "Well hi there, Rin Robert Okajima. I know this may seem a bit crazy, but My name is Rockoro. I'm your dad. Your moms resting back in the other room. She sure is crazy huh? Musta been a bumpy ride in there with her carrying you." Rock said gently, chuckling to himself. "But looks like you came out of it pretty well huh. You sure took a lot out of her didnt you. I know what you might be told, but you got the best damn mommy out there. Best damn shooter around, and if anyone ever says something bad to you about her. You have my permission to give them a Revy worthy beating." He assured. "I hope one day we can see you all grown up." Before he could say more he heard a click of a gun against his head. "Drop the kid." says a unfamiliar husky male voice. Before Rock could react there were more gun clicks and Edda and the ol' lady stood in the opposite doorway guns ablaze.
At all this happening around, Rin began to cry and wail in Rock's arms. Rock tried to quiet the screams of his child, but they wouldnt quell. "Shut the damn brat up before I shatter its brain with yours on the table in front of ya." It persisted and the attacker pointed the gun at the wailing newborn and started to even slightly pull at the trigger. Before he could release the shot he let out a wail of pain, and the gun was knocked from his hand from a outsider bullet. "DON'T... YOU... TOUCH... HIM!" Revy panted in the doorway, pants off and her and both cutlesses in her hands as she leaned against the wall to stand. "You wanna dance?! I'll dance! Even fucking waltz with your ass! You will not drag my son into your dumb fuck plan!" And before anyone knew, Rock was laying on the floor holding the screaming baby, as he used his body to cover the baby from possible bullets as everyone began firing on each other. When all was said and done, the three strangers laid dead and bleeding.
Rock stood up, the baby still screaming and sobbing in fear, Rock did his best to calm the baby still, but to no Avail. The still extremely tired Revy made her way over to the couch, blood dripping lightly every few stepps and sat beside Rock. "Give him here" She damn near demanded. Rock obliged. Revy took the child, and she held him out close to her chest. "Hey, hey, little Asskicker, dont sweat it, those bitchy ass bad guys are all gone now. Just me and you. You cant kick my stomache like you used to anymore when I fight now. Now can you?" Revy comforted honestly, and slowly the baby calmed, and his tears stopped. "There ya go, see? That's what I thought, my little asskicker." And with that she smiles, and took Rin's itty bitty little hand in hers, and made her way back to her room. Rock went to call her name, worried about the both of them and out of nowhere, Dutch plopped a hand on his shoulders. "Let her have this man, at least for now" Rock turned to look Dutch in the eye, read his sincerely, and did as asked.
Revy, despite not acting like herself, couldnt help but smile. There was just something about this little tiny thing that she just wanted to have forever. There was a warm, happy feeling in her chest. Happy, god that was something she had to this point had never truly felt. Images ran through her mind of possible memories. She pictured herself and Rock sitting on the Lagoon Company boat letting Rin crawl around infront of them, and then one of her taking him to a street vender, and teaching him to shoot, Of herself as a mom. The more she thought about it, the less likely it became. He'd only been born a hour and someone had already tried to kill him.. and he had done nothing wrong. They wanted him dead for existing, for being hers. She couldn't be so selfish, not when it came to something like this, that she wanted to protect more then anything. She simply refused to force him to go through what she had seen.
Revy let this resettle in her mind as she sat on her bed holding her newborn son Rin, and began to slowly hum him a melody as he sensed her strife and was upsetted by it. Maternal instinct had taken over, and Revy somehow knew exactly what to do. "You have your fathers eyes, to back up all those gazes, to pierce my guard and take my soul off, to far away places. I hope you'll never be alone... 'Cuz I'm right here. We took a gamble at this love, I'm sailin' through the storm. With the waves rushing over to take us, we were battling against the tides. You are my beacon of salvation~ I was your starlight. So dont cry for me love, cry tears of joy. 'Cuz your alive, Cradled in love. Dont cry for your love, cry tears of joy. 'Cuz your alive, Cradled in love." she let herself sing, as it lulled Rin, and he nodded off in her arms as tears welled in her eyes. "Your not like me little Asskicker... Your like your ol' man.. your dad.. You wouldnt hurt a fly.. Whereas I step past flies... I kill humans.. I'm... not gonna stay your mom for long though... and its not because I dont want you, because I sure as hell do.. But that scarey shit earlier.. That will happen more.. and I wont always be home to stop it.. So your Aunt Edda is gonna take you... for a few years.. Shes a bit of a hoe, so bare with her. Known the bitch since I was a little bigger then you... You'll see me when your old enough.. Don't let her give you no shit, or no one else. You punch 'em right were it hurts.. Ok?" She advised, as if her son would remember everything into adulthood. "And You were born outta love... You weren't a mistake.. Maybe by the time we see each other again, your dad will get the balls to collar my ass" She said with a melancholy chuckle, motioning to her ring finger. Revy spent some time with her tiny little one, and saying her goodbyes. Until Edda knocked on the door, Revy yelled for it to be ok for her to come in.
Revy had sinced stopped her bleeding and slipped panties and shorts on, cradling her son still. "It's time..." Edda told her and Revy looked as if someone had just slit her jugular, before looking down. "I cant have the night?" "You'll get even further attached." And with that Edda approached the bedside, Revy's Cutless was in her other hand and she held it toward Edda. Edda stopped and Revy lowered the weapon, taking Rin both arms. "You give 'em hell, Rin Okajima, My little Asskicker." She said, gently bending forward and holding him closer to her, before kissing his forehead gently and standing.
Edda lead Revy toward the door. When they reached it, Revy and Rock stood inside, and the nuns outside, Rock leaned over, and said his goodbyes to his only son. And soon after, Rin awoke and looked up at his parents as Rock wrapped a arm around Revy's shoulders, and set the other hand on her upper arm. Rin looked at the two with big bright brown eyes, and they smiled at him, Revy's tearducts swelled again, and this time she deemed it useless to hide that fact. Edda stepped forward, and hesitantly, Revy let her take her son from her. Without the thing she had cared for for over 9 months in her arms, she let her arms fall to her side and her head lower. "He wasnt abandoned... Got it Edda..." She told her childhood friend warningly as Rock felt her shoulders shaking and her fist clench. Revy's heart was beginning to refreeze. She needed something to hit. Rock moved her ever so slightly and right as She raised her fist to hit the wall, Rin began to fuss. Edda and the old woman took this oppurtunity to take their leave as Revy stopped when the baby fussed at her. Once they had gone, Rock pushed her arm downward, as if telling her hitting things werent nessissary. He simply turned her by the shoulder, and pulled her close to his chest. Revy curled up to his chest, gripping his shirt tightly and keeping her head lowered against his chest. Rock rested his head atop Revy's and let her release her emotions. She just had to give up her child, it was only natural that she would be devistated. As Edda began to drive off, she glanced back at the couple, and felt pity. Pity for the life Revy had been forced to live.
