Chapter Seven: Wrong Intentions

Ties that bind my heart from you are tearing me apart inside. I whisper your name, I hear no sound of your voice. Lost in the world around me, my hopes and dreams died with you leaving. No remorse in the tones of goodbye. Come back, my fallen angel.

During the five intense months of Azrael's pregnancy, with less than a week for her child to be born, emotions ran high. For both her and Youko. He tested her patience to the max and she was very stubborn not to let him do much for her. But... somehow they both managed to live in the same house together.

"Can I please do something? It makes me nervous... You know that..." Youko said trying to carry the groceries into the house. The bags full of things for the new child.

"Fine" She let out a heavy sigh. "We still need to decorate the nursery... I was going to ask if you wanted to help me... Since you are going to be a big part of the boy's life" She gave a smile knowing all along all Youko wanted was to be with her.

"You mean it? You want me to be part of your life? I thought after the child was born you were leaving?" he said in almost shock.

"Yes I mean it. Now go get the paint please... You won't let me touch it." She smiled again as he went to get the paint out of their garage. The duo set to work on the plain off white wall in the nursery. The paint was a deep navy blue and aqua trim, the same color as her eyes. "ita..." She muttered as she held her paintbrush to the wall and began to paint. But a few minutes later she felt another sharp pain cut across her stomach.. "Aaagh... Youko..." she then felt something wet trail down her inner thigh. Her water had broken. She cried out in a small whimper.

"What's wrong?" he looked over in her direction as he heard her whimper.

"The child is early... My water broke..." She said as she yelped in another contraction. She started her breathing as she learned in La Mas classes as Youko came to her and scooped her up bridal style and took her to his bedroom.

"N-nani! What are you doing! We have to go to the hospital!" She screamed in horror.

"Take it easy and calm down... You are progressing way too fast for us to make it to the hospital in time. Your labor has already started. Since you are so young the labor will go fast, and since you are still in shape it won't be as hard to push." he said as he undressed her lower half and took his position to deliver the baby. "Now, when I tell you, I want you to inhale a deep breath, hold it and push. I will count to ten, and then I want you to exhale, wait until I count to five and then do it all over again... Ok?"

"H-Hai!" She said as another even sharper contraction ran through both her spine and stomach. "Start pushing, Rae, you're doing great..." As he gently took her feet into his hands to steady her and to help her labor go a little easier. She began to push as Youko counted... which seemed forever... until Youko finally spoke something other than numbers about an hour later. "The baby's head is out..." he begins to guide the child's head out.

Another agonizing scream is heard as a final push from Rae ends her labor.

"I-it's a boy" he said as he wrapped the newborn child in a soft towel and cut his umbilical cord and checked the child for ten fingers and toes. He had raven auburn hair and aqua eyes like his mother. But, his features were of his father, Karasu. The baby's wailing cries were music to his mother's ears. Youko handed the boy to Rae.

"Ichiro" she muttered the boys' name and paused a moment looking up at Youko and smiled and took his hand gently, "I want the boy to have the same last name as his father." She looked at him.

Youko just stood there stunned for a moment. "You... really want him to have my last name?"

"Hai. I do. Just... like i do... if you still love me like you said you did... I want to be part of a family... but... I'm just not ready for the physical part of marriage... if you can sense what I'm saying through all of this babbling..." she said as her hands shook from nervousness with her newborn son in her arms.

Youko looks at the tiny baby in Rae's arm, "Welcome to the world Ichiro Kurama"
