Chapter 19: Yeah Right: Natsume's POV-
I leaned against the wall, next to the door, as I read my manga. Beside me, Ikuto was a perfect mirror image of me with one hand behind his head, and the other holding his manga book up as he leaned against the wall. The only difference between our appearances is our hair and eye color, other then that, he was the spitting image of me when I was five, his age now.
He was smart for his age, a known genius throughout Tokyo. He was so much like myself when I was younger, again, the only difference between us was he had brown hair and brown eyes, while I had my crimson eyes and raven black hair.
The door next to us burst open, causing the screaming inside to become much louder. Me and Ikuto glanced up and saw Ruka panting, looking sick to his stomach, and nervous.
"N..Natsume? What are you doing out here?" he asked confused and I glanced at him before looking back at my manga, with a bored expression plastered on my face.
"I left when she started screaming" I said nonchalantly and shrugged my shoulder. I glanced at him and saw his jaw was dropped in confusion and shock.
"B-b-but Natsume! That was over an hour ago! That's your child in there! You really should be in there" he shouted and I looked at him, raising my eyebrows at him before closing my manga and putting it in my pocket.
"And risk going deaf? I don't think so" I said and shoved my hands in my pockets and starred at him, amused at his reaction. He closed his eyes and shook his head in disapproval before looking at Ikuto.
"Look at the example your setting for you son" he said gesturing towards Ikuto who just raised his eyebrows and shook his head, muttering "idiot". "You've corrupted him.." Ruka said and sighed.
"Can you believe that just last month was your 25th birthday and now your having another kid?" he asked and I shrugged. Okay, so it may seem like I didn't care. But I really did. I was extremely happy.
"Daddy! Daddy!" We heard someone yell and looked up to see a five year old girl running towards us. She had jet black hair that reached her waist, with bangs, and a pair of piercing violet eyes.
Behind her, Subaru Imai looked extremely exhausted, where as the kid looked like she was full of energy. Ruka sighed and smiled sweetly at his daughter who ran over and hugged him tightly.
"I can't watch her anymore! She has way to much energy, I don't get how my little sister can deal with her and that best friend of hers, we're complete opposites!" he said and Ruka laughed. "I mean how do you deal with her?" he said and I glared at him.
"What are you saying about-" I started, in a venomous tone, causing him to flinch back before smiling nervously as he back up with his hands up, palms facing towards me.
"N-nothing, I wasn't saying anything about her, nothing at all" he said nervously and I raised my eyebrows and shook my head, while Ruka laughed lightly.
"Whatever, I don't know how I put up with her either" I said and he sighed in relief before leaving. Ruka smiled and led the little girl in front of Ikuto and smiled.
"Ikuto, this is my daughter Maki, she's going to attend Alice Academy with you starting in January" he said and Ikuto looked up from his manga a the young girl.
"Hi! I'm Maki! It's nice to meet you" she said brightly and extended her right hand towards him. He flinched backwards slightly and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Hn" he said plainly and she pouted before crossing her arms and glaring at him, before sticking her nose in the air dramatically, causing Ruka to laugh and me to roll my eyes.
"You know, when someone greets you, you should really greet them back" she said and Ikuto eyed her before turning his attention back to his manga.
All of a sudden, I heard the screaming in the other room stop almost immediately. It was quiet for a few minutes and thats when I started freaking out, I mean for what reasons would she stop screaming all together?
I ran into the room and looked around, the doctors were all huddled in the corner, with their backs to me, so I looked at the bed and saw Mikan crying dramatically while Imai comforted her.
"That's the last time I ask for a natural birth with no medication. That really hurt!" she whined and Imai sighed and rolled her eyes. "Natsume!" she cried loudly when she saw me and I couldn't help but smile and walk over to the other side.
"Hey" I said softly and pushed her hair out of her face. "You okay?" I whispered gently and she pouted her lip at me but smiled none the less.
"Yeah, I guess, it just hurt a lot more this time" she pouted and I kissed her forehead gently, causing her to blush, making me raise my eyebrows.
"We've been married for 5 years, had two kids, and your still blushing everytime I kiss you or touch you?" I asked, causing her to blush more.
Ruka then walked in, Maki and Ikuto following behind him, looking rather nervous. Ruka smiled and walked over to Imai, touching her bloated stomach gently.
"How's our baby girl doing?" he asked softly, as he pecked her cheek, causing raise his eyebrows, and Maki to stare at them dreamily.
"Anju's fine, we still have 3 more months to go" she said, with her normal stoic expression on, but you could see she was exhausted from staying up all night.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hyuuga? Meet your new daughter" the doctor said, handing Mikan a small infant wrapped in a light pink blanket.
The little girl had little black strads of hair, and when she opened her eyes, she revealed bright crimson eyes. I smiled very slightly while Mikan smiled brightly.
"She looks just like me besides her hair and eye color! I'm so happy!" she said brightly and I rolled my eyes. Of course she would react like this, it was just like her.
"She's beautiful" Imai said a touched the infants cheek gently, looking a little afraid that she might break her. Maki starred at the little girl, smiling brightly, while tugging on Ruka's sleeve.
"Ikuto" I said and he walked over putting his manga in his back pocket before shoving his hands in his front pockets and walking over to the bed. "Meet your sister" I said and he eyed the girl.
"What's her name" he said, his voice softening slightly, instead of his normally cold voice. Mikan smiled brightly at me.
"How about we name her Ichigo? I mean, my name means tangerines, so why not give her a name that means strawberries?" she asked and I rolled my eyes again.
"What ever Polka Dots" he said and she pouted, but smiled anyways and looked up at Ikuto who was smiling very slightly at his little sister, Ichigo.
"Meet Ichigo, your little sister!" she said happily and looked at me. "Would you like to hold her Natsume?" she asked and I smiled slightly, and nodded.
She handed me the little girl who looked around trying to make out the shapes that were around her. She did look just like Mikan, just with my eye color and hair color, just like how Ikuto looked just like me with his mothers eye color and hair color.
"Congratulations Hyuuga, you have a daughter" Imai said nonchalantly, but I ignored the comment and continued to stare at the little girl.
The door then brust open, revealing a smiling Aoi and a very annoyed looking Youichi. Aoi and Youichi ran in, and Mother and Kazu Yukihira came in after them.
"Oh my god she's so cute!" Aoi gushed and Mother nodded in agreement and looked at her. "What's her name?" she asked as she played with her little hands.
"Ichigo" I said plainly and Aoi and Mother smiled. Even Youichi and Kazu smiled at the little girl, who was trying to grasp Aoi's index finger.
"Hey Mikan how are you-" Aoi started, but looked down and saw Mikan fast asleep, grasping the tail of my shirt lightly.
"Here Aoi, go with the doctors and take her to the Nursery, then would you all please leave and let her have some rest, I'll call you all when she wakes up" I said and Aoi nodded as I handed her Ichigo.
"Ikuto, go with Ruka, Imai, and Maki. Do you mind?" I asked and Ruka shook his head. While Imai smiled slightly and took Ruka's hand.
"You know Hyuuga, your much more considerate now that you have Mikan, I guess that idiot is good for something after all" she said and I glared at her. They all left then leaving me with Mikan.
"You did well" I whispered and kissed her forehead gently before sitting down next to the bed and holding her hand tightly. Her hand gripped mine and I saw her smile.
"Thank you Natsume" she murmured and opened her big brown eyes to look at me. I saw she was thankful to get some time to sleep and relax. "I am so tired" she said softly and stretched her arms, wincing slightly.
I frowned, seeing her still in pain, but she saw this immediately and pouted, making me smirk in the process. She always got upset when I frowned ever since we got married.
"Stop frowning, you promised you would smile for me more" she whined and I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly at her, before raising an eyebrow.
"Satisfied?" I asked and she smiled brightly, like she just won something amazing, but then again she always smiles like that.
"Very" she said happily and I rolled my eyes before pressing my lips against hers in a passionate kiss. She quickly responded, but I could feel her face heat up like always.
Two hours later Mikan told me to call Imai, Ruka, and Ikuto and have them come back to the hospital. When they arrived Mikan and Imai started talking about how the plan to have Ichigo came out perfectly.
In fact we planned it so that she would be born December 12th, which was today. That meant we had to plan the time exactly when we conceived her.
"What about me, did you plan me?" Ikuto said coldly and Mikan looked nervous but I just shook my head carelessly. I mean why lie to him?
"No you were a surprise" I said and he cocked his head to the side. "Well you see, me and you mother lived close, so I could easily sneak into her room through her window. The thing is, if she was in the shower or...not decent, she was suppose to tie a pink ribbon onto the window sill" I said and Mikan blushed.
"But your mother was careless one day and forgot, so I climbed into her window right when she took her towel off...and it all went down hill from there" I said and he rolled his eye.
"Natsume! You shouldn't tell him that" Ruka scolded and I shrugged, not understanding what the big deal was. I was his father, I was suppose to lead him through life easily.
"Why lie to the kid, I'm not going to tell my son that babies come from the stork, that's the last thing I'll ever do, I absolutely hate the stupid stork thing" I said, sneering in the process.
Mikan rolled her eyes, while Imai looked amused. I remember she was very angry when we first told her about the pregnancy, every time I walked into the room she shot me with her Baka gun.
I smiled at Mikan. I was extremely happy, it may not show on the outside, but I really was. I finally was able to just live with Mikan, and my family, no missions, nothing to worry about. I loved her, I loved her so much, and now all I had to do was go to work, and come home to our new house, and see her smiling face.
Who knew dark and light could form together and live happily, with friends, family, and petty arguements between me and my light...Mikan.
