It Is Blessed

Shower 9

"What a beautiful baby Ma'am, what's the cutie's name?" Kaoru asked with a smile as she looked at the chubby bundle being held in the woman's arms.

"His name is Ryushi." The woman answered proudly with a beaming smile as Kaoru giggled, the baby grabbing her finger and putting it in his mouth in an attempt to figure out what it was.

"Kaoru-dono, this one terribly sorry to interrupt, but it's going to start raining soon and this one wishs to get home not wet." Kenshin said sincerely as he juggled the various groceries in his arms skillfully.

"Oh, alright." Kaoru said with a hint of sadness, disappointed at not being able to play with the baby anymore.

"It was great meeting you and your son." Kaoru said with her usual enthusiasm before she started walking home.

"Thank you very much, and congratulations. You're truly blessed. This one wishes you happiness." Kenshin stated kindly before doing a small bow and running after Kaoru who was waiting a few paces away.

"Who were they, Honey?" the lady's husband asked as he approached her from behind, giving her a kiss on the forehead before taking the baby from her arms who gargled in gleefully.

She lightly shook her head with a big smile as she tickled her baby's feet, making it go into a fit of giggles.

"Just a couple who reminded me of us when we were younger." She said as they started walking back to their own home.

"And I was just thinking about how truly blessed they are, like us."
