When Aoko gave birth to her daughter, Shinichi wasn't allowed to come near the clinic because "We have learned from the incident at our wedding and no one wants a homicide in a hospital!"
He could see their point, but that didn't keep him from sulking. The worst thing was that Ran already considered banning him from his own child's birth too.
When his phone finally started to ring, he picked up eagerly. "Well?!"
"It's a baby!" Kuroba shouted.
"Oh, really." Shinichi's voice was as dry as the desert. "And here I thought your offspring would be an alien."
"It's a baby!" Kuroba shouted again with obvious glee. Shinichi doubted that he'd actually heard his wry comment. "It's a cute little healthy baby!"
He's like that time when he ate too much sugar, Shinichi thought, feeling a smile tugging at his lips.
"Congratulations! How's Aoko?"
"Fine enough to boss me, the nurses and Hakuba around!" Kuroba answered happily.
Shinichi grinned inwardly - he could absolutely see the scene in his mind's eye.
"Do you have a name already?"
"Yeah." He could hear Kuroba's smile through the phone. "Natsuki."
Ha, I thought that would be a nice choice to end the first half. :D
The name Natsuki has different meanings, depending on the chosen kanji:
It can mean hope and summer (夏希), but also moon and greens (菜月).
