ENDING?

Natsume's POV

9 months have passed and I just knew that Mikan is pregnant yesterday. No one told me that. I want to be there when she give birth to our daughter. She'll be giving birth at around 26th-28th of this month so I'll be going to Seoul. I'm going to surprise her. I hope she's not yet over me because I, myself have not yet moved on. She's still the one who holds the special part in my heart.

FEBRUARY 25

I had a phone call from Youichi. Maybe it's an update on Mikan's pregnancy.

"Hello" I said in the phone

"NATSUME. MIKAN'S GOING TO GIVE BIRTH NOW. YOU BETTER HURRY" He said, I mean yelled so I have to take the phone away from my ear but I clearly heard that our daughter's coming.

I quickly drive to Seoul National Hospital because he said she'll be giving birth there. Wait for me my princess; I want to be there by your side when you gave birth to our lovely daughter.

Mikan's POV

This month is my 9th month of pregnancy and the 9th month on Natsume being not by my side. I wonder where he is. I bet Youichi knows but I didn't bother to ask him because I know he won't tell me. I lived with my parents and brother this past 7 months. My mom insisted because she said no one will be there to buy me something when I'm craving. Keke~~ Ruka's like my husband, he went to the doctor's appointment with me, buy me what I want for my cravings, went to shopping for my baby girl's things and everything. But he's not always the one with me, Youichi is sometimes the one going with me when Ruka cannot come, he needs to be with Hotaru too you know. When I left OUR house 7 months ago, I left a letter there in case Natsume will be coming home. I guess he's not yet ready to come back since when I last visited our house, the letter is still there, untouched.

FEBRUARY 25

I was sitting in the living room. My mom is out to buy grocery, because she said she wants to go herself since she knows what I want better than the maids. My dad is in the company as usual and Ruka is on a date with Hotaru. Youichi is here with me now. We are watching We got married when suddenly, I felt pain. Am I giving birth now? Wait… What date is today? 25th? Well it's almost my due date. I then fell some water rolling down my legs and the pain is still there.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed in the top of my lungs.

Youichi quickly asked me "What's wrong?"

"My water broke. I think I'm giving birth"

"I'm bringing you to the hospital."

He asked the maid to help me bring to the car because he said he'll contact everyone.

When we arrived at the hospital, everyone arrived a few minutes. The doctor said to bring me in the delivery room. " Who's Mrs. Hyuuga's husband?" Everyone looked at each other

"He needs to be inside too" The doctor added. Ruka raised his hand and said " I'm her brother, can I be the one with her inside?" The doctor quickly answered "I'm sorry but we have a strict policy that only husbands can go inside with their wife. I guess she'll have to do this alone." Then he walks in the delivery room.

Natsume's POV

I drive quickly to Seoul National Hospital. When I arrived there, everyone is already there. Some are walking back and forth. I notice Youichi there so I dashed to him and asked " Where's Mikan?"

Everyone seems to be shocked by my presence but I didn't mind them.

"You're late. She's giving birth now. ALONE" He said emphasizing the word alone.

"Can I still get inside?" I asked. They said "No."

Mrs. Sakura went to my side and patted my back "Don't worry. It's okay. Mikan can do it alone, she's a strong girl. remember?"

After a few hours. The doctor came out with a gloomy mood.

I dashed to him and asked " How's my baby doc?"

"The baby is healthy and strong" He said and everyone sighed in relief

"But the mother isn't." Everyone gasped. "What do you mean?" is all everyone asked

"She had complications while giving birth and we asked her who to save, her or her baby and she said save the baby." I fell own in my knees. She's gone?

"I'm sorry but Mrs. Hyuuga is

Dead"

"No. You—you must be kidding. I-it isn't f-fu-funny." I said while sobbing.

"I'm sorry. Are you Mr. Hyuuga?" He asked and I nodded.

"Mrs. Hyuuga said that she left a letter to you in her purse. She wants you to have and keep your baby" He said

"I want to see her" I pleaded

"I'm sorry but she said before she died that she doesn't want to let anyone see her and we should cremate her. I'll just give you her ash. It's her last wish. She doesn't want you mourn over her body."

"I didn't even have the chance to forgive her. I didn't had a chance to tell her how much I lover and need her. " I screamed to no one.

I just cried and cried in the hospital. Everyone comforted me. When I calmed a bit, I went to the nursery and look at the baby labeled Baby girl Hyuuga (Hyuuga Natsume and Mikan Hyuuga). She just looks like her. I'm gonna miss Mikan. I then felt a presence beside me "She's so beautiful, just like her mom. What are you gonna name her?" I looked at the person speaking and notice that it's Mrs. Sakura.

"I'm gonna name her Mimi, named after her mother." I said

"Nice name. I love it. Be a good father okay. I saw this in Mikan's purse, the doctor gave it to me. I guess this is for you."She said handling me a letter. I think it's the letter the doctor is talking about.

My Prince,

How are you? I missed you already. I guess you'll be here when you heard the news about me bearing our baby. Our baby is a girl. If you're reading this, I know I'm gone. I already know that I'll have complications in giving birth since the doctor said I have to abort the baby if I still want to live. I think you won't forgive me so I guess it's okay for me to die. Please keep the baby and take care of her. She'll be the only one I can leave to you. Treasure her as you treasured me before. I hope she looks like you because when she looks like me, you'll see me every day in her. I don't want you to suffer and be angry at her for looking like me. Please move on with our daughter. Find another wife who'll always be there for you and won't do to you what I did. I'm really sorry. I love you. Please let our daughter acknowledge me as her mother.

I LOVE YOU UNTIL I DIE. Ooops. I'm dead now so I guess I'll just look after you from afar. Take care ok?

Mikan, Your Princess 3

I closed the letter and notice that I've been crying the whole time. Is this the end of everything? She's gone.

GONE….FOREVER…

Why did she leave me? I need her. I cannot find another wife because she was, she is and she will always be in my heart and no one can replace her.

After that, I went to OUR house to freshen a bit. When I arrived there, I notice that nothing much has changed since I left. I was walking in the living when I notice a letter. I picked it up and read it since it is addressed to me.

My Prince,

Hey if you're reading this, it means that you have come back. You have come back for me and you still love me. Today's my second month of pregnancy. My mom asked me to live with them again because it's hard to live alone since I'm pregnant. I leaved this letter here in case you come back and I'm not here. I'm gonna visit this house often to check if you have come back. I'm really sorry for what I have done. Just please believe in me now, you are my life Natsume. You are my everything. I know that what I did was wrong and I am asking for forgiveness. I can't live without you and you know what, I am quite surprised I even survived this 2 months without you here by my side but I don't blame you. This is my entire fault so I am not angry. These past months, you gave me strength. I have come to know you more when I am at school, you are the best thing that has ever happened in my life and I know you and our daughter will always be my greatest treasure. Please come back soon. I want to be in your arms again. I miss you so much and I love you.

Your Princess,
Mikan 3

After I read the letter, I fell down on my knees and cried my heart out. I still can't believe the fact that she is no longer here. That she'll no longer see our daughter grow up. I'm so immature, I should have just let her explain everything, and anger took over in me. She's been waiting for me ever since I left. She never loose hope. I love her and only her. I can't believe I loose the chance of having a happy family with her. I can no longer be the Natsume that is happy and cheerful. I blame myself for her death because if I was there with her, she will endure the pain for me and our daughter because she knows that I am right here waiting for her.

After one week,

Today we buried the jar with her ashes in the grave yard. I can't believe I am confessing to her this way, I am now in front of her tomb.

"MIKAN, even though it might be late for us I still want to confess to you. I LOVE YOU, when I left you, you never left my mind. I promise you I'll take care of our daughter. I will love her as much as I love you. I hope we can meet again there in heaven when time comes. Wait for me there, huh. "
