The First (Light Dmon James)- September 4, 2012
World: AU
Summary: There's nothing more precious than holding your first child.
…
To be honest, there were actually no words to describe how he felt at this moment. He could actually say an array of things, ranging from adoration to fright, but none of them accurately describes the swell of emotions that burst in his heart.
His large, slender arms held the tiny child whom slept soundly in his arms. A small smirk formed on his face, and his eyes softened slightly at the raven-haired infant. Already, the newborn had a thick head of hair.
And his eyes. Toshiro just couldn't get enough of those tiny turquoise orbs. When Karin had first introduced the baby, Toshiro could not keep his eyes away from those brilliant sea-green.
This time, Toshiro actually smiled.
All he could think about was his life as a parent with Karin, watching his little boy grow to be a teenager, then an adult. He couldn't fathom the excitement that rose in the pit of his stomach.
He was a father. And Karin was the mother. His eyes wandered to his wife's sleeping form on the hospital bed, a faint smile on her exhausted face. His eyes crinkled in tenderness as he watched her chest rise slowly and then the opposite.
They were a family- him, Karin, and the infant. In an instant, he knew- he knew that hardships would hit, and trials would come, but he knew that their bonds would be too hard to break. He smile and snuggled the newborn under the blanket more.
He whispered quietly, to no one in particular. But he hoped his child could hear, could hear the emotion and the happiness that resided in his words.
"Hajime."
…
Hajime means beginning. That makes sense, right?
Hope you enjoyed. ^^
