Chapter 12: Kamigakushi Nigihayami Nushi
He couldn't bare to watch; Chihiro, his wife, his love, was in so much pain. His parents were here now, Chihiro was drawing closer to having the baby. Tears streaming down his cheeks, Haku decided to attempt encouraging Chihiro, "keep going, Chihiro, it's almost over," he said weakly, his voice wavering. Never once in his entire life had he been so scared, his hair was knotted from where he'd been endlessly running his fingers through it with the hand that wasn't being squeezed until it was blue.
"It hurts, Haku. It hurts so much," Chihiro whispered, her face scrunched up. Turning to Kamaji, Haku looked pleading, "how much longer?" He asked.
"Not much longer," Kamaji replied.
"Mother, father? Are you in there? Why is the door locked?" Hinode asked from outside.
"Go away, Hinode, now." Haku replied coldly, tears streaming down his cheeks still, his hair covering the emerald eyes Chihiro needed to see. "Haku, can you let me see your face? I need to see it," Chihiro whispered, loosening her grip on Haku's and and opening her eyes. Without hesitation, Haku granted her wish, staring down at her. "You can push now, Chihiro," Kamaji interrupted, "on my command, okay?"
"Okay, Kamaji," Chihiro replied, sitting up, "can I lean on you, Haku?" She asked. Nodding, Haku got behind Chihiro and allowed her to fall back onto his chest.
"Okay, push," And with that, Chihiro put all of her might into a push, she wanted this to be over, as quick as possible. Smiling, Kamaji gave Chihiro a thumbs up. "Again," Chihiro pushed again, less might put into it. "One last time," giving it her all, Chihiro pushed again.
Crying rang throughout the room, heck, the whole floor. Smiling, Chihiro relaxed and looked up at Haku. "We did it," she said.
"You did it," Haku corrected, looking up at Kamaji, a smile crossing his face. In his careful grasp was a pale child with brown hair and bright green eyes. "It's a boy," he said, "would you like to give him his first bath?" Looking for Chihiro's confirmation, which he received, he moved to bathe his child. "Name?"
"Kamigakushi Nigihayami Nushi," Chihiro replied, sitting up to watch her husband bathe their adorable child. That was also her first time seeing him, she teared up at the sight, "he has your eyes, Haku," she breathed, staring at those green eyes she knew so well and loved so much.
Following Kamaji's instruction carefully, Haku expertly bathed the little child. "Hey, brother, mother, father! Can I come in now?" Hinode groaned, causing Haku to laugh. "Mother, could you let Hinode in?" Haku asked, followed by Yuhi doing so. The minute she laid eyes upon Kamigakushi, she froze. "Woah, is he..?" She trailed off, her voice no more than a whisper, which was very unusual.
"Yes, Hinode, he is. He is Kamigakushi Nigihayami Nushi, your nephew." Chihiro replied getting up.
Really short but I have mini writers' block sorry :3
