A/N: Hello! No, I'm not dead. Just been active on a different place. I've had zero motivation until recently, but I want you all to know that I'm opening writing commissions! I know it may seem a bit like a joke, but just. Hear me out, please? I could use the extra cash since my job isn't forgiving (we're doing a bonus thing, but i'm never gonna get a bonus due to the hours I work), and it'd be nice to set some money aside since I might be moving out soon. Even letting others know will be a great help. The prices are gonna be at the end, so sorry for taking up your time right now. Have fun reading this 1,000 word long fic!

It'd been hours, now. Nomi had been in labor for hours, going through maddening pain. They screamed and cursed, breaking a few items here and there, knowing full well that they did this out of pain. It wasn't just pain, either. It was fear.

They clutched the railings of the hospital bed, wanting to scream as they felt another contraction rip through their body. They wanted this damn child out, and they wanted them out now.

Yet their body refused, forcing them to suffer throughout the ordeal over and over again. Their mind began to fall into a haze. Pain, pause, pain, pause. The doctors words were beginning to blur, becoming meaningless. After all, just telling Nomi to push was useless. It was repetitive and made Nomi want to strangle the life out of him.

It was made worse considering that said doctor refused to let Randy in. The poor man was sitting outside, probably fiddling his thumbs and worrying himself into a rut. They knew he was questioning if they were okay, and they wanted to scream that they were fine. As they thought this, a wave of pain so severe forced them to sit up, gripping the rails so hard that they were sure they bent. An agonized scream ripped from Nomi's throat, and they saw red.

The ringing in their ears slowly went quiet, allowing a different sound to fill the room.

Crying.

Their eyes, once closed, snapped open immediately. They sat up, ignoring the pain that passed through them again from doing so, and searched the room. Just across the room, they could barely make out the doctor and nurses surrounding what Nomi assumed to be their child.

"Where is- Let me-" they kept trying to speak, but they were constantly being shut down.

Frustration welled up in Nomi, and they finally decided that they'd stop playing nice.

"LET ME SEE MY BABY, FOR FUCKS SAKE," they sat up on shaky hands, glaring at the now stunned doctors, who glanced at one another.

The crying sounds of the baby got worse, and the nurse took the now-clean child and wrapped them in a soft pink blanket.

A girl.

Randy and Nomi had a baby girl.

Nomi reached out, taking the baby away as soon as the nurse got close enough to safely hand the child over without the mother taking off her hand. They held the baby close to their bare chest, allowing the small child to start the bond that so many other moms warned Nomi was extremely important.

While the baby calmed down, Nomi stared down the nurses. They knew exactly what they wanted, but they didn't want to give in to the patients demands of having the father in the room immediately after the birth.

The nurses felt the need to rush outside the moment they've done everything they needed to do. Nomi kept their eyes on them the entire time, grumbling quietly when they still didn't let Randy in yet. A soft sigh, and Nomi turned their gaze to the now-sleeping baby.

They glanced at the small tuft of hair on the baby's head, noting that it was much like their own; a bright, fire red. The skin was too early to tell, but Nomi was sure that she would fit it no matter what. Her skin could be tanned, pale, like Randy's. It just mattered that she was happy.

Nomi wished to know her eye color, but they prevented themselves from doing so, using their free hand to rub the back of the baby.

It seemed like hours before Nomi heard the door creak open. Randy peered his head in, seeming apprehensive about even remotely entering the room.

"Is it safe?" Randy whispered, eyes wide.

"Yes, Randy. It is finally safe for you to come in," Nomi adjusted themselves, settling down as they adjusted the blanket on the baby as well.

Randy was over by the two in a heartbeat, staring down at the small child. "She's beautiful…"

Nomi chuckled at the amount of emotion in Randy's voice, before sighing softly. "I think she will take after you."

"Are you kidding me? She's so gonna take after you, just look at that hair!" Randy covered his mouth when he realized he was being a bit louder than he wanted to be.

Nomi didn't bother glaring at him. He understood what he did wrong. The new parents watched their baby sleep in Mom's arms, seeing her shift every now and then. She kept clenching her fist, then would relax. Nomi was mesmerized by this.

"What is her name going to be?" the green-eyed being found themselves whispering.

"Lily?" Randy glanced at Nomi, tilting his head a bit.

Nomi tapped a finger softly, thinking about the suggestion quietly. "I like it. What of her middle name?"

Randy grinned at Nomi. "How about Ai, since I ai you~"

"If I was not holding our newborn child I would smack you across the room, Randy. " Nomi withheld a smile, pretending to be serious for a moment. "Although I must admit, I like it."

The purple-haired man scratched his jaw, watching as their small bundle squirmed within her confines. "Lily Ai Cunningham-Norisu. I… never thought I would say those words."

"Lily?" Nomi inquired, tilted their head, cocking an eyebrow upwards.

"You know that's not what I meant." Randy snorted, seeing Nomi's shoulders bounce as they contained their laughter.

Lily gave a squeal, almost as if she were being summoned to talk at that moment. The two parents quieted, watching as she yawned, then slowly opened her eyes.

Nomi''s heart stilled when they saw that Lily had been born with Randy's blue eyes. The two small orbs shone as she began to look around, fixating quickly on Nomi.

"Why isn't she looking at me?" Randy whimpered, his own blue eyes growing glossy with tears.

Nomi used a free hand, preferably the one they weren't using to hold Lily with, to wipe away a small tear that formed in the corner of their husband's eye.

"She still loves you, I am sure of that. She just cannot see you from how far away you are." Nomi brushed aside Lily's red hair, watching the little one form a toothless smile.

"She will love you just fine. Everything, Randy, will be just fine…"

A/N: Hi!

So, prices.

500 words is going to be just $5.

1,000 words is $10.

2,000 words is $15.

Im sure you can see the pattern.

I take only, so apologies for any inconveniences.

Please, please don't think I'm demanding money. I'm just saying that I might start making more appearences if people pay me to write stuff rather than having to rely on my job for all my money, and having you guys hardly see me. I love you guys, I really do.

Sometimes I just can't make the time to write a chapter of 3,000 words ((hence why this chapter is also only 1,000 words in general story mode).

Okay, I have to go, it's getting late.

Goodnight! An Remember to Review, please!
