Chapter 41
I hope she is not in a bad mood… I already hate myself for everything.
What ?... Where could she be ?
Rrrring !
"Yes ?"
"Shadyn here, you almost daddy ! I took Sakura at the hospital because she had great pain and right now she is in labor. The doctors say that she will probably give birth in half an hour or so. Rush over here !"
What…already ? Damn, this is a real tense moment. I'd better head over there.
"Sure, thanks Shadyn. I'll be there as soon as possible."
"Ughh ! I…I can't push it no more. It is exhaustive !"
"Pull yourself together, Saku chan ! Don't tell me that this is the worst pain you've ever experienced. I feel you, but it will only hurt a bit. Push !"
By the time I got there, I used my eyes to find her ward. I couldn't wait any longer until I saw her. She deserves comfort and love, especially at a time like this.
Here you are.
"Sakura…can you do it ?!"
"Sir, how did you get here ? Dads are not allowed in here because most of them pass out because of the sight. Do you think you can make it ?"
"Of course I can. She's my wife."
The second I moved my eyes to her, I could spot the unbearable pain she was expressing. Her hand was cold and rigid, but I took it in mine, hoping I could do something to ease her pain. The flashbacks of my affair started to scratch my mind, so I still couldn't look her into the eyes. But I hold her hand tighter.
"S-Sasuke…I…can't…"
She didn't manage to finish her sentence because of a baby's cry. It was raging outloud and showed no sign of giving up. It was then that the nurse who welcomed me took it into her hands, washed and then wrapped it in a cotton cloth. How could a baby be that beautiful ?
"Congratulations, mommy and daddy ! You have a noisy yet perfectly healthy little girl !"
I was petrified. By shock, emotions and… happiness. A fragile little girl…
My thoughts were cut out by the nurse gently placing her into my arms. She was still crying but seemed to calm down as I scrutinized every inch of her perfect, little face. She really does resemble her mother… and maybe mine ?
"How are you going to name her, sir ?"
The question took my a little bit off guard so I turned to Sakura, inquiring for her opinion. I realized that she had her eyes closed, probably sleeping because of the exhaustion.
"Don't worry, most mothers fall asleep like this immediately after they give birth. It helps them ease the effects of pain over their body, you can call it a weapon of the immune system."
After she explained it to me, I wiped all worries away. She was sleeping and no more in pain. That was good… and what of the name, I think I should choose the one we both agreed on.
"We will name her Amaya."
