In The Hospital…

Suddenly at the sudden realization, Ashiya looked down and saw that the water had broken already. Ashiya ordered Miyasaka to go and get his car which was a Range rover, ready and told Katou and his parents to get Iwaki in the car and to go to the hospital. Then he asked Akira to get the car which was a Land cruiser, ready. He told Yoko and her husband to stay at home and take care of the kids and then after dropping him at the hospital Akira will come back to get them. Ashiya, Akira, Katou's other friend and Katou's manager sat in Akira's car and were off with second car behind them.

Ashiya, in the car, called the hospital and made arrangements so that the moment Iwaki would reach the hospital, he should be taken inside right away.

In the second car, Iwaki was lying on the seat with his head in Katou's lap. He was groaning in pain with his eyes shut tight and his hand squeezing Katou's right hand wrist which was on Iwaki's chest and the other hand on Iwaki's belly but soon then the pain subsided and Iwaki calmed down. Then Iwaki opened his eyes and saw how devastated Katou looked. Iwaki let go of Katou's wrist and reached up and placed his right palm on Katou's cheek.

On the way, Katou's father called the Iwaki family and told them about the news.

"Hello?"

"Ah…is this the Iwaki house?"

"Yes…who do wish to talk with?"

"Can I speak with Masahiro-san?"

"Yes…this is Masahiro speaking."

"MASHIRO-KUN…the babies…they'll be here anytime soon…and then you'll become an uncle!" said Katou's father in a voice filled with bliss. He was so happy that he didn't know what he was saying.

"Wha…WHAT!?...Oh my GOD…WHEN DID IT START!?" said Masahiro in an extremely excited and worried voice at the same time. (Which was very unusual)

"Not too long ago…"

"Alright…we don't have much time…thank you…" after saying that Masahiro hung the phone up.

The moment he hung up the phone, they had reached the hospital. Ashiya got out of the car and with Akira's help he walked towards the second car. They were putting Iwaki in a wheelchair and after that they took him inside the hospital. Ashiya talked to the nurse on the reception and it seemed like she went and came back in a matter of seconds with some papers and three other nurses. The nurse with the papers looked confused looking at all the men but then Ashiya pointed out whom to give the papers to, she straight away came to Katou and gave him some papers and a pen to fill everything up. After filling everything up, Katou and everyone else moved to the waiting room.

Iwaki was in the birthing room everything was ready and Iwaki was in position in the same type special chair that was used when Ashiya had made the slit.

Iwaki was calm when Ashiya came in. Ashiya had his mask under his chin so when he smiled at Iwaki, Iwaki could clearly see the smile and he smiled back in reply.

"Okay Iwaki-san…tell me when u feel the contractions…okay?" asked Ashiya in a soft voice.

Iwaki nodded and slowly placed his head back. While Ashiya was talking with one of the nurses, the wave of pain hit Iwaki.

"UH!" squeaked Iwaki.

At the sudden squeak Ashiya immediately turned around rushed to Iwaki. Then he called to one of the nurses and told her to get ready because the bleeding had begun.

The delivery began and Ashiya began counting and Iwaki began pushing. "Alright…this will hurt but will be nothing compare to the contractions…" said Ashiya and inserted two fingers in the slit he had made almost two weeks ago. Then he pulled and stretched it. Iwaki groaned but calmed down in a matter of seconds.

Ashiya told Iwaki what to do for a safe and easy birth. Iwaki was clinching on the hospital bed sheets and holding his breath while Ashiya was counting. Then when he said ten, Iwaki let out a huge breath.

"Alright Iwaki-san! Hold your breath and push…one…two…tree…four…" Ashiya went on counting and Iwaki kept on pushing.

Soon the baby's head began to show but only the upper part was visible.

"Alright Iwaki-san…I think you need one more push…" said Ashiya in a professional way and told Yoko to get tree ribbons of different colors.

"Get…this of off me…" said Iwaki pulling on his shirt.

"Get his shirt off." Ordered Ashiya.

The lady Katou right then went and removed Iwaki's shirt. He was now bare, with only the large hospital sheet covering his lower half.

Then he felt the contractions once more and groaned. Ashiya was pulling the slit that he had made two weeks ago, apart so that the baby could come out. Iwaki pushed and Ashiya kept on saying 'steady' again and again because he didn't want him to rip the muscles surrounding the birthing canal.

Soon the baby's forehead was showing, then the nose, and finally the head was out. Once the head was out Ashiya held the baby's head in his right hand and with the left hand he placed it on the chest of the baby with his thumb and two fingers in the baby's armpits and pulled it out. Iwaki's head went back in relief as the pain had faded slowly.

The first baby was a boy…

He clipped the umbilical cord and cut it.

He then called to the nurse and she took the baby from Ashiya and wrapped it in a blanket type sheet made especially for babies. He then cleaned the baby's mouth, nose and eyes…right then the baby began to cry. The moment Iwaki heard the baby crying, he jerked his head forward and saw the baby crying in Ashiya's arms. Iwaki's eyes widened at first but then they became narrow and teary with a smile. When the nurse was about to take the baby away Iwaki jerked his head to the side with the desire to hold the baby in his eyes. Ashiya knew what Iwaki was feeling at the moment so he called the nurse with the baby and told her to give the baby to Iwaki. The nurse said but, but Ashiya said in a stern voice.

"NO BUTS! The baby is fine I've examined him already. So give the baby to him NOW!"

She handed the baby to Iwaki who looked as if he was begging to hold the baby.

The moment he touched the baby and felt the warmth of the baby, tears began to flow out of his eyes, streaming over his cheeks.

Ashiya told him to smell the baby and when Iwaki did he looked at Ashiya amazed. Ashiya who had wide smile on his face said that his elders said that when a baby is born, it's like he came from heaven so it smells like heaven…

Iwaki was telling that what he just said might be true when he suddenly felt contractions. Before the baby was harmed due to the jerks, Ashiya ordered the nurse to take the baby and take him for examinations.

Soon the second baby was born. Ashiya said that this was the quickest birth he had ever assisted in and that Iwaki was lucky because sometimes it takes hours and hours in labor and is very painful.

Soon after the third baby was born, the after birth (placenta) was removed and Ashiya cleaned everything up and Iwaki was in his pajamas but due to the pain he had felt he became really tired and fell asleep without even noticing.

When Iwaki woke up and opened his eyes to see what was going on, he saw his whole family including his father and Katou's whole family, Ashiya's whole family and everyone else who was with them at home, were in the large hospital room. Iwaki was then handed the glass of water as he asked for one and he asked how he was feeling by the nurse who just came in. Iwaki told her what he felt and after writing everything in a file she had in her hand, she pulled Ashiya to the side and showed something in the file. She looked worried but Ashiya raised a hand with an expression that said everything is fine and the expression on the nurse's face changed as well and it became relaxed. Then after Ashiya told her something, she bowed and left the room.

Ashiya then came and stood next to Iwaki's bed.

"Is something wrong…sensei?" said Iwaki's father.

"Oh! no hahahaha there's nothing wrong…the nurse was just making sure of some personal details…because she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Iwaki-san." Said Ashiya while grinning and then he continued "Iwaki-san is a famous actor after all…"

Everybody in the room were tense due to the scene with the nurse and everything so when they heard what Ashiya said the let out a breath of relief.

After about five minutes there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in…"said Ashiya as a reply to the knock on the door.

"Hello~~~~" said a nurse pushing a trolley in which lay something rolled up in a blanket. There were about three nurses who came in.

Everyone one was confused but then they saw one of the bundles squirm and tried to come out they knew that these were the babies.

The nurses brought the trollies in and left. Ashiya slowly bent down, due to his own enlarged belly it was difficult to move so after he bent down he picked up the small being in his arms while saying "Up we go…there there…it's gonna be okay…lets go to papa…here you go Iwaki-san…" and then Ashiya handed the baby to Iwaki who was mesmerized.

Iwaki took the baby and smiled with tears beginning to form in his eyes. Katou was standing on the other side of the bed and was handed the second baby by Ashiya. Then the third baby was picked up by Masahiro.

Ashiya then pointed out that the baby Masahiro was holding was a boy and was the second baby. The one that Katou was holding was the first baby and was also a boy and the baby Iwaki was holding was the youngest baby and was a girl.

After hearing this Iwaki looked down at the baby smiling and said.

"My princess…"

It didn't take long but after about two three days, it was all over the news…

"THE BABIES HAVE BEEN BORN!"
