"You can't have too much sugar," Shizuko scolded Yume Sakurai. The two-year-old was consuming the sugar sweets Sakura placed on the table like water. "They're bad for your teeth."

Yume pouted before tears filled her eyes. She looked to her mother Sakura who shook her head.

"No sweets Yume," Sakura stated moving the bowl of sweets away. She sighed leaning back in her chair catching her breath. "I'm so sore. I just can't keep up with Yume nowadays."

"You are pregnant after all," Shizuko stated trying to keep Yume, who sat in her lap, focus on something other than sweets. "Yume is growing up quickly."

Sakura smiled patting down her daughter's pink hair. "I wish time would slow down and I wish this little one would just come out," She said placing her hand on her huge stomach.

"As long as I'm not here," Shizuko told her. She could not deal with a screaming lady again. A screaming pregnant lady at that. "Your due date is near right?"

"Yes it's the- Oh no," Sakura paused her movements before looking at Shizuko. "It's here."

"What is here?" Shizuko questioned hoping Sakura didn't mean what she was thinking. Not today.

"Looks like she picked today," Sakura grimaced in pain. Why now? Kuuga wasn't back from the meeting at his agency. "My water just broke."

Shizuko felt her soul leave her body. Why was she in this position again? She was not certified to do this.

"I've got to get to the hospital," Sakura whispered trying to stand.

Shizuko felt her body suddenly paled. All her knowledge from what happened last time when Sakura went into labor last time flew out the window. "I don't have my car, your car is getting customized, we might need to get a cab."

"Sure," Sakura agreed to whatever the hell her friend was saying. Her mind was focused on the thing trying to stab its way out of her.

Shizuko stood up with Yume in her hands. "We need to get your bag. Call your sister and Kuuga. I'll have to keep Yume with me. Do you need your doctor-"

"Shizuko!" Sakura called to stop her from panicking. "Please just call Kuuga. The agency is close by."

"Okay. I'll call him and get your bag," Shizuko decided while carrying Yume in one hand and holding her phone in the other. She started to call Kuuga.

After the third ring, he picked up.

"Yo-"

"Come get your wife!" Shizuko almost screamed into the phone. "Sakura is going into labor."

"Okay. I'm already on my way home, just watch her and help her breathe till I get there," Kuuga said pushing the metal to the pedal to get home quicker.

"Okay," Shizuko hung up the phone. She looked at Yume who was interested in her watch. "You're going to be a big sister tonight Yume."

Shizuko placed Yume down and got Sakura's bag. She opened it to double-check if everything Sakura needed was in the bag. "All set," She said picking up the bag and then picking up Yume in her arm again.

She walked back to the living room to see Sakura doing her breathing exercise.

"Sakura?" A frantic Kuuga called rushing into the room. "Let's get you to the hospital," he said helping his wife up.

"I'll keep Yume here with me. Just call when it's clear for us to visit," Shizuko stated.

"Thank you," Kuuga answered ushering Sakura out the house.

"Bye baby!" Sakura bid goodbye to Yume who mumbled back to her mother.

Shizuko let out a deep breath she was holding in. She turned sideways to look at Yume who was getting sleepy. "Time for bed."

One and a half hours later.

Shizuko's cellphone rang throughout the Sakurai household.

"Hello," She answered quickly not wanting to wake Yume with the ringtone.

"She was born healthy. Our baby girl Yuri Sakurai," Kuuga told her. She could hear how excited he was to finally meet his second child.

"Congratulations," She said happily as the little one was here and healthy. "I'll come with Yume once she wakes up."

"Okay. Give a call when you reach the hospital so I can give you the room number."

"Okay," She said before hanging up. Shizuko collapsed into a chair. "Please don't let me be here for the third child."
