Hiyaa~ This is one heck of a lonnnng updated! I can explain but you probs wanna jump into reading this soooo I will see you at the end.

Let's Go!

In the waiting room, Aunt Cass had arrived. Tadashi paced anxiously around for fear that Hiro was dying.

The amount of red he had saw back in the delivery room was sickening. It was a lot! Almost all of the blood from Hiro's body. Aunt Cass sat him down as he had made her feel uncomfortable, which she then asked him to spill out the details. Upon hearing that some complications had set in was enough for Aunt Cass to hear. It sounded as if her niece was no slipping away.

A nurse then called out for Hiro's family and Tadashi was quick to respond. Aunt Cass followed and the nurse led them down hallway. Anxiety was written across his face so the nurse attempted to distract him with small talk such as commenting on how supportive he was just by being here, which puzzled Tadashi, so when the nurse had asked him who the father was to the twins, the nurse thought he was joking as the entered the maternity ward. The nurse looked to his aunt but all Aunt Cass could respond with was a nervous chuckle. The nurse led them to a small room where premature babies were cared for. Near a glass window, which faced the hallway, Tadashi and Aunt Cass stood infront of 2 incubators sided by side. One was wrapped in a pink blanket as the other one in blue. The nurse gave them a quick summary on both the twins' conditions were and that the female twin was first born before she left the two alone. Tadashi stared intently at the two pink bundles. Their eyes were still tightly shut and they were still so small. They filled Tadashi with joy as he couldn't believe that they were his. Strong but little features like the cute button nose really resembled Tadashi and his little sister.

Aunt Cass stared in awe as she wrapped her arms around her nephew's arm.

"They're sooo adorable, Tadashi! It's a but sad that we can't hold them yet."

Tadashi placed a hand on one of the incubators, which then reminded him of Hiro. Aunt Cass felt her nephew's arm shake and she looked up to see Tadashi openly shed tears, splashing droplets of salty water onto the incubator glass surface. She sensed his pain and gripped onto his arm as she gazed at the ground.

"I'm sure she'll be fine...dear. Hiro-chan is a strong fighter she is..." Aunt Cass Said as she tried to shed some light to the situation, despite wanting to let her own tears fall. She then excused herself saying that she would go and grab coffee for the both of them.

Tadashi left the premature nursery and instead stood in in the hallway as he stared at his children from the outside. He wondered how long he had been at the hospital for so he pulled his phone out to check. It read 8.15am. The phone then suddenly went off with strong vibrations just as he was about to stuff the phone back into his pocket. The caller ID read Fred. Tadashi was feeling very exhausted as he thought it was an odd time for Fred to call and it sounded in his tone upon answering it.

"Morning dude! I just wanted to see how you're doin."

A smile crept across Tadashi's face as it was a nice gesture of his friend but it was short lived.

"Anyways dude, me, Wasabi, Gogo and Honey Lemon are wondering if you wanted to hang out today. Honey Lemon seems pretty eager too but between you and me, please say you will. I get the feeling she's gonna have my throat!"

Tadashi's mood dropped even further as he still hadn't gotten around to answering Honey Lemon's' confession. Just as Tadashi was about to answer, he interrupted by a nurse calling for him.

"I can't, not today Fred. I gotta go now but I'll call you back later!" And with that, Tadashi immediately ended the call.

Tadashi followed the nurse into a private consultation room, where his aunt and the doctor were awaiting.

The doctor reintroduced herself as Dr . Suzanne and she had a very kind demeanor.

"Hiro had delivered premature but healthy twins at 4.35am today and to which they show promise of survival. But may I ask firstly, as this hasn't been recorded amongst Hiro's files yet , who is her partner and father to the twins?"

Tadashi straightened himself and confidently answered the doctor. "I am the father, Dr. Suzanne."

The doctor was stunned for a moment but she didn't press further as she could sense something that was best left alone from Tadashi. She instead congratulated him. The next thing she spoke to them was about Hiro.

"As for the mother, Hiro, due to her age, physique and other underlying health conditions, many complications had taken place during and after delivery. A C-section would've been the best method of delivery but Hiro had shown signs of labour in it's second stage and an epidural wouldn't have been needed either. As for the complications, Hiro's premature labour must have been triggered by an overload of stress and had also resulted in a serious postpartum hemorrhage and respiratory failure. "

Tadashi felt his stomach sink as Aunt Cass gasped. Tadashi was reminded of the amount of his little sister's blood within the surgery room.

"We managed to save her but Hiro will need to remain in ICU for a while as she is still undergoing a slow blood transfusion.

Are there any questions you would like to ask?"

Nothing really came to mind with both Tadashi and his aunt except for a request to see Hiro at which the doctor allowed. Some paperwork was all that was needed to be done before they were allowed through to the ICU ward. The doctor had led the way.

Only one visitor was allowed in at a time so Tadashi gestured to his aunt to go first, explaining to her that he needed to make a quick call. She accepted his offer and went ahead as Tadashi doubled back to the lobby area.

Tadashi pulled out his phone and swiped his fingers across the touchscreen to call his best bud, Fred. He didn't pick up so Tadashi left a voice message.

"Hey Fred, sorry for hanging up on you like that earlier. Plus do apologize to Wasabi, Gogo and Honey Lemon for me. Things have been hectic and I've had an anxious long morning. If you guys do drop by the café, I won't be there but rather at the hospital with Hiro. Yeah...just an FYI for you I guess...talk to you later."

Aunt Cass came out to where Tadashi was and gestured to to him that it was his turn. Tadashi gently smiled at his aunt and proceeded towards the ICU entrance.

Tadashi walked into the room where Hiro had been allocated to. She appeared to be hooked up to many machines and IV bags. The one providing her the blood transfusion was outstanding in contrast to everything in the room and Hiro herself. He walked closer to Hiro and began stroking her hair. She looked like she deserved much needed rest from her peaceful expression. "Well done, Hiro-chan!" Tadashi whispered to her.

Tadashi had stayed with Hiro for the remainder of the day but hadn't even realized that he had fallen asleep. A nurse had been calling out to him but he passed it off as a dream. It only then occurred to him when he became irritated at the voice, repeatedly calling his name, and yanking him from his needed rest.

"Mr. Hamada, sir, there is someone awaiting at the ICU reception for you."

Tadashi kindly thanked the nurse all the while apologizing to her before he stretched out and left the room.

Passing through the doors, he was suddenly jumped-on by Fred with a worried face.

"Holy frick, Mann , why didn't you say so straight away when I called you?! It took me like hours trying to find you!"

"As if, Fred! *pop*" another voice interrupted.

Tadashi then looked behind Fred realizing that Gogo was the one to draw the attention to the rest of his friends there. A slight panicked feeling came over Tadashi as they didn't know anything about Hiro or his twins but it quickly subsided when he was reminded of which ward that Hiro was located at. He also noticed the awkwardness coming between him and Honey Lemon.

Tadashi then noted to Fred that he could go in and see Hiro so it would save him the trouble trying to explain why. Fred nodded and went in. As for Tadashi's friends, how was he going to explain it to them? It would make Tadashi feel even more guilty if he tried to lie but he also really owed them for the amount of time he had been absent from them.

"Don't worry about it, Fred told us already!" Gogo stated.

Tadashi stared at his friends dumbfounded! "Ha ha...what did he say?" He asked with a nervous laugh.

Gogo gave him a skeptical look as she blew up another bubble.

"That your little sister been suffering from some rare disease. Poor little thing." Wasabi added as he gave Tadashi condolencing look.

Tadashi mentally sighed in relief and he wouldn't have to strangle Fred if he had blurted out the actual truth.

"Yeah...its been stressful. Thanks for understanding though and I'm glad you guys came." he said followed by a comforting smile.

Fred treaded lightly through the hallway. He could sense the depressing gloom around him as he made his way to Hiro's room. ICU was a ward for unfortunate victim's that landed on the boundaries between life and death after all.

Fred had found Hiro's room. Walking in was depressing. The scent of disinfectant permeated the air and the colours around were either white or dull tones as he looked around the room. The contrasting things were the lights on the monitors, machinery and the blood-filled IV bag that was connected to the sleeping figure.

Fred was quick to piece the puzzle of the events earlier that day as Hiro's baby bump was missing. He walked closer to her. Hiro had a look of peace on her face , like she deserved much needed rest but her complexion was ivory all over. Her dark hair and lashes contrasted a doll-like appearance over her entire figure. She looked beautiful but at the same time in a saddening state. Fred gripped the bars on Hiro's hospital bed whilst feeling guilt arise inside.

"I'm sorry, Hiro. You must've endured a lot and I feel that I'm the one at fault here. I...hope it has brought you and Tadashi happiness.

Please...wake up real soon.!"

Tadashi and Honey Lemon had finally gotten some time alone. Fred hadn't come out yet and his other friends had left for unknown reasons but most likely knew, since there was chemistry felt in the air between Tadashi and Honey Lemon.

The two sat there avoiding contact. It felt awkward for a while. But when they dig up the courage to speak, it came at great timing too and both verbally clashed into each other.

"Ah, I'm sorry, you go first, Tadashi!"

"Ah, no, it's ok. Ladies first!"

"No, its ok. You should go first. I forgot what I wanted to say anyway..."

"Umm...ok...how about we talk outside. This place isn't very...uplifting."

The two strolled towards an exit that led to a beautiful courtyard. Both tried hiding their blushes but it just made the atmosphere all the more awkward. They sat under one of the sakura trees, which had started to shoot its leaves. This time, Tadashi initiated the conversation first as he needed to get the weight off his chest.

"Ummm. ...well, for starters I want to apologize for having run off on you...like that from that day. Then having cut communication with you and the others. "

"It's ok, Tadashi. I feel that I should be the one apologizing for springing that on you. It was a bad coincidence too...
Fred told me that you had been having a tough time with your little sister as well so I thought I would wait till you were alright." Honey Lemon voiced in response to Tadashi's apology.

Tadashi looked at her with a comforting gesture, placing his hands on top of her. Honey Lemon's face turned bright red.

"I...umm...I'm really happy that you feel that way about me and I guess I could say I have similar feelings..."

Honey Lemon looked at Tadashi with pure happiness but that would soon come crashing down.

"...but these feelings are like that of a treasured friend and I think that is unique. I have someone else whom I love and want to be with.

I am really sorry. I think it's taken me this long to reply to your confession as I feared that that I would hurt you, ruining your hopes and losing you as a irreplaceable friend."

Honey Lemon kept her smile plastered on but inside, she had somewhat anticipated it and was able to mentally prepare herself for the rejection. But god, it still hurt. She slowly pulled her hands from under Tadashi's hands and clutched them at her chest .

"Yes. You are too...a irreplaceable friend. It...works out for the best...I guess."

Honey Lemon didn't realize that tears had began rolling down her cheeks as she apologized for having trouble Tadashi.

Tadashi would deny it and blamed himself as he felt bad enough for having to hurt a friend. He pulled Honey Lemon into a hug as she was now openly crying.

After a little while, Tadashi escorted Honey Lemon out to her car. That whole way, Tadashi had a look of guilt on his face. Heading back to the ICU ward, he was internally beating himself up.

In his head, Tadashi was gifted with the brains and looks but he felt like god was punishing him for unknown reasons. His parents were taken away from him at a young age, he was gifted with obliviousness to the important things and now he was hurting the people close to him. He stood at the door in front of Hiro's room, staring into the room from the embedded window on the door. Tadashi could easily just walk in, simple as that, but his mental state had rendered his feet glued to the ground and paralyzed his movements. But not for long as Fred did him the favour of scaring him upon opening the door.

"Wha-what the hell Fred, I thought you already left. I didn't even see you in there!"

Fred apologized at the same time, couldn't help but give his friend an odd look as Tadashi stood there but bent over with his hands to his knees and his line of aight parallel to the ground.

"You can go in if you want, man? "

"Nah, don't worry. I think I'm gonna head home." Tadashi replied in a strained voice.

"You sure?". Fred asked in quizzical tone.

Tadashi just nodded.

After a hot shower, Tadashi just collapsed on the bed.

Aunt Cass was preparing food in the kitchen to bring to the hospital but was taken by surprise when her nephew had walked in as she was packing his supposed supper. Not only that, he had strolled in, without a word, like a ghost. The only sounds coming from him were the rattle of the zips on his bag and Mochi's bell as the fat cat trailed behind the slouched walking figure up the stairs.

Tadashi's back meeting with the mattress was very much needed. He looked around the room. The custom made cot and play area filled him with a sense of happiness as there was an uncertainty thrill of excitement awaiting when his twins would move in. But when he rolled over to face Hiro's side of the bed, guilt bubbled up inside. To drown it, Tadashi stuffed his face into his pillow until he couldn't breathe. Refilling his lungs with fresh air in huge breaths really did help so he could get some proper sleep without a noisy mind.

Almost a month or so had passed by. Tadashi had obtained an approval to suspend his studies for a little while and the twins had been given the greenlight for dismissal from the hospital, which was exciting in a way for both Tadashi and his aunt.

But as for Hiro, she remained unconscious after another complication had befallen her during her blood transfusion. One of the blood bags administered was of a different blood type resulting in a transfusion reaction and her body had gone into shock. Having gotten the news, the Hamada family were definitely suing.

Tadashi had visited Hiro nearly everyday of the week. He would tell her about the things that had been happening, even though she was unresponsive. She did look better though as a lot of colour had returned to her cheeks and the rest of her body. It was still depressing though but Tadashi believed that being by her side more would speed her recovery. Aunt Cass and Fred and sometimes his other friends would visit her for a while. Tadashi hadn't heard from Honey Lemon though after he had given his answer on her long awaited confession.

The twins had only been at their new home for a week and Tadashi found it stressful. The nurses had showed Tadashi how to look after them prior to their dismissal but it was sure a handful. Aunt Cass hadn't raised both Tadashi and Hiro as babies and yet she was doing a better job than Tadashi when it came to handling the two babies. It was also double the noise so Tadashi would get glances from the nurses and other patients as he walked through the hospital with a awful look on his face.

This particular day changed his mood. In the middle of updating his little sister on his daily visits, Hiro began showing signs of awakening as twitches in her fingers responded to Tadashi's clasp. Tadashi's reaction was of sheer joy as he jumped around the room before slamming the red button above Hiro's bed. Tadashi was ushered out as nurses raced into the room. Waiting, he immediately notified his aunt. Her excitement was on par with Tadashi's.

15 minutes later, Aunt Cass made her appearance. Tadashi questioned her as to where the twins were and she explained to him that Fred had arrived at a good time and had him babysit. Tadashi looked at her skeptically. The doctor had also come out at the same time, telling the two that Hiro was definitely awake but was still under some side effects. Permission was also given to enter the room.

Tadashi was first through the room door. A nurse was changing the IV drip as Tadashi stepped foot inside. She smiled and took her leave as Aunt Cass followed in. Sure enough, Hiro was awake but she still looked pretty drowsy and was wasn't responsive. Tadashi sat down at Hiro's side and Aunt Cass stood behind him. He was overjoyed that Hiro was awake that he was speechless but he conveyed whatever he was feeling by holding one of Hiro's hands. She responded with weak grips. Aunt Cass moved to the opposite side of the bed where she could get a better look at her niece. It had been quite a while since she could touch her niece with some form of a response as she combed her fingers through Hiro's soft hair.
