Token and Nichole were currently in the living room, watching TV on a fine afternoon. Token was rubbing Nichole's stomach because they're expecting a baby anytime soon. He took his hand off her stomach when the program ended. As Token flipped through the channels, Nichole felt a sharp pain inside her.
"Ugh..." she groaned.
"Are you okay?" Token asked, sounding worried.
"It's time..." Nichole groaned.
Token's eyes widened upon hearing this, he immediately knew what to do, unlike the last time Nichole went into labor. His four year old son, Nathan, overheard the commotion and went downstairs to check on his parents.
"Dad, what happened?" Nathan asked.
"Nathan, I have to take your mother to the hospital, I-" Token tried to explain.
"What's wrong with mom?" Nathan asked.
"Nothing, really. You're going to have a baby brother or sister anytime soon." Token reassured.
"What?"
"No more questions, I have to bring your mother to the hospital now." Token apologized. "I've call your grandparents and they'll be here soon to look after you while we're gone."
"Token... please hurry..." Nichole groaned.
"Sorry, honey." Token apologized to his wife.
He helped Nichole over to the car and once she was in the car, Token got into the driver's seat and he then drove off to the Hells Pass Hospital. Once there, Token managed to get Nichole inside and then the nurses prepped her for labor. Token waited outside until he got an "okay" to enter.
"I wonder how Nathan will react to him getting a new brother or sister. I just hope he isn't going to get upset." he thought.
Just then, a nurse exited the room.
"Mr. Black, you may come in." the nurse allowed.
Token got up from his seat and entered the room. In there, he stood beside Nichole.
"Hold my hand!" Nichole yelped.
"You know the drill. Just like last time, just push and breathe." the doctor reminded.
"I know... owwwwww..." Nichole groaned.
Token cringed when his wife squeezed his hand tightly but he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He just hated to see her in so much pain.
"It hurts so much..." Nichole groaned as she gave another push.
After a few hours of pushing and deep breathes, Nichole was left sweating, her face was red from exhaustion. It looked like as she wanted to give up.
"Ugh..." she groaned.
"Don't give up, you're almost there." Token encouraged.
"Token, I can't..." Nichole groaned.
"You can, trust me. One more push and he or she will be out."
"No, I don't want to do this anymore!"
Token then gently kissed his wife's forehead.
"Nichole, you can do this. I'm a hundred percent sure." he encouraged her. "If you can do this, we'll have another kid to accompany Nathan."
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Nichole screamed in pain.
The two Blacks heard the sound of a crying infant after that push.
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Black, it's a boy." the doctor congratulated.
He left the room to dry off and examine Token and Nichole's new son before returning him to them. The doctor returned and handed their newborn son over to the two.
"See, I knew you could do it." Token said. "And now, he have another son."
Both Token and Nichole looked at their son. He had dark skin and black hair like both of his parents and when he opened his eyes, it was revealed that he had black eyes like his father.
"Would you like to hold him?" Nichole offered.
"Yes, after all, he is our son." Token replied.
Nichole handed the newborn baby over to her husband.
"Hey baby, daddy's here." Token whispered.
"And reminds me, what should we name him, honey?" Nichole remembered.
Token looked at his son for a few seconds and then he came up with an idea for a name.
"How about Andre?" he suggested.
"Andre Black... that's perfect." Nichole agreed.
Andre cooed upon hearing his new name.
"I think he likes his new name." Token chuckled. "I have to go now but I'll return tomorrow with Nathan so he can see his new baby brother."
"Okay."
The next day, as promised, Token returned with Nathan so he could see this new baby brother.
"Dad, why am I here?" Nathan complained.
"Well, it's a surprise and it wouldn't really a surprise if I told you what it is." Token chuckled.
The two entered the room to find Nichole waiting there, holding Andre her arms.
"Nathan, you're here!" Nichole quietly exclaimed.
"Why?" Nathan asked.
"Say hello to your new baby brother."
Nichole handed Andre over Token and then he showed Andre to Nathan.
"Oh, so that's what the surprise is." Nathan whispered.
"This is Andre, he'll be your brother from now on." Token introduced.
"Hi Andre. I'm your big brother, Nathan." Nathan whispered.
Token and Nichole looked at each other blushed.
"Aw, how sweet. Sibling bonding." Nichole beamed. "I just hope they won't grow up to hate each other."
"Let's hope that they don't grow up to be cold and distant from each other."
Nathan just kept on staring at his brother. Andre cooed at his big brother. Maybe the two brothers wouldn't grow up to be cold and distant from each other but then again, maybe they could.
A/N: Sorry for not updating this story as fast as the previous chapters. You see, I recently reinstalled FlipaClip (after multiple miserably failed attempts to animate) onto my iPad and I've gotten hooked onto digital art (though I'm still understanding animation basics) from that. So basically, I'm drawing pictures on FlipaClip (I know FlipaClip is supposed to be an animation app but it works like a drawing app too and I'm still thinking about downloading MediBang or ibis Paint X onto my iPad if I want to practice more digital art).
I've also kind of lost motivation to keep writing, so I'm sorry if this part is somewhat lacklustre.
Anyways, I promise that the final chapter will be submitted soon (most likely tomorrow).
