last chapter to Loss of Innocence. I'm going to try not to rush

The End of Misery
-
He stood there…waiting…
It had seemed like he had been standing there for eternity, just standing and
breathing, nothing else. In the back of his mind, he had concluded he would
only do this once. His knees were already becoming accustomed to the way his
body was positioned. Just standing…with his arms behind his back, sweat
dripping off his face, and his heart beating in his chest.
Two months. It had been two months since the deciding trial with the soldiers
that had took advantage of his Rain. He had wanted to beat their fucking heads
in, but had decided not to, even though, in the back of his mind, he could see
his hands wrapping around their necks one by one, squeezing the life out of
them, watching as the blood poured from their bodies as he ran his sword
through the muscles in their stomachs. So much fun…
But that wasn't the point…
Rain, being true to her words, testified against the soldiers and they were
convicted to four years with no chance of parole. The judge had been fair
during the trial. She had noted the way Rain had been so edgy when her name was
called to give her side of the story. At the end, Rain had gotten the justice
she deserved, which was a night on the town with everyone.
He and Rain had decided to get married a month after the trial. And the fates
just so happened for that day to be August 2nd. Rain and Allenby had
been the two to plan it all. They bought the flowers, reserved the chapel, and
everything else that had come with it. Rain had been so busy with the plans
that she didn't even notice that her body had been changing, but Domon had. He
had finally dragged her away from the plans and Allenby long enough to tell
her. She had been in denial at first about it, but when she took the test, her
face went pale and she had fainted. Domon had gloated in his victory for about
two seconds before, he too, passed out.
Rain had been almost two months pregnant before she found out. Needless to say,
once she recovered, she had been ecstatic. She hugged, kissed, and made love to
Domon all night long. Domon had been smiling the entire time. He was going to
be a father! He couldn't contain his excitement the next day when he told all
of his friends about it. He took Rain to visit his mother's grave and they
shared memories with her. When Doctor Kasshu heard the news, he flew down from
the Japan Colony just to give his son and future daughter-in-law his blessings.
Everything had seemed right to him now. His life had started to settle down, he
was going to be a father in less then seven months, and he was going to be married
to the woman he loved in less than an hour…
Which brings us back to now.
No one could understand his nervousness. His palms were sweating and his heart
was beating at a rate of ninety-eight to nothing. He felt like he was about to
have a heat stroke and die right their at the altar. As much as he wanted to do
that, he couldn't. Rain would find a way to bring him back and kill him again
for leaving her.
So Domon just stood there like he had been doing for the past hour and a half.
-
She was sweating like a pig in the heat, and thought that
the makeup was going to run right off like drops of water. Rain paced back and
forth in her room as she wrung her hands. Today was the day she was going to
marry Domon Kasshu, but why the hell was she so nervous?!
Rain had been waiting for this day to come since Domon had proposed to her. She
had arranged the flowers, bought the dresses, and imagined where they would go
for the honeymoon; however, thinking was helluva lot more different than
actually being there. Her stress level was beyond ten and, as her stomach
churned, throwing up her lunch seemed like a very good idea.
Maybe because she didn't have a mother and a father there to give her their
blessings was one of the reasons that made her uneasy. Her mother had died many
years ago while her father, Doctor Mikamura, died during the fight with the
Devil Gundam less than five months ago. Doctor Kasshu had offered to walk her
down the aisle, but Rain refused, saying she wouldn't want to do that to him
and just decided that she would walk down the aisle…alone. She prayed to
whatever God was up there that her parents would be proud of her for this day.
A sudden knock at the door startled Rain, causing her to jump slightly, "Come in."
The door opened slightly and Allenby's head popped in, and smiled at the older
woman, "It's time."
"Oh God…" Rain started pacing and buried her head on her hands. "I was hoping
you weren't going to say that. Is it too late to cancel and reschedule?"
"Nope!" Allenby smiled and walked in the room, closing the door behind her. "Why
are you so nervous?"
"W-w-w-w-why am I so n-n-n-nervous?" Rain stammered, her voice breaking. She
pointed at the door. "If you were going to be married to Domon Kasshu in
less than…" She glanced at her watch, "five minutes, wouldn't you be nervous?"
The Noble pilot frowned. Rain did have a point. She wasn't the one getting
married, Rain was. She placed a hand on the mechanics shoulder, causing
her to stop the pacing, "You think you're nervous, you should see Domon! He
keeps shifting and rubbing his hands together. You guys are so weird! You'd
think this would be the happiest day of your life, but yet you two sit…er…stand
and worry that something's going to go wrong!"
"Allenby…" Rain whispered. The younger girl's words touched Rain's heart. Why
was she so nervous? So she didn't have her parents here to wish her good luck or
anyone to walk her down the aisle. The point was she was marrying the man she
loved today. She walked over to her dresser and grabbed her bouquet of flowers.
"You're right, Al. I-I shouldn't be so pessimistic. This is suppose to be a
happy day, right?"
"Exactly!" Allenby exclaimed and grabbed Rain's arm, literally pulling her out
the door. "Now, come on! You're going to miss your own wedding!"
Rain smiled down at the girl and followed her down the halls and watched as
Allenby disappeared behind the door to the chapel. She took in a deep breath and
gripped the flowers tighter as the music started and the doors opened.
-
"Keep pushing, Mrs. Kasshu!" One of the doctors screamed.
Rain Kasshu winced as another round of pain shot through her body. "I've been
pushing for the last two fucking hours! Do you think I'm gonna give up
now?" She grabbed her husband's hand and squeazed tighter, hoping to whatever
God was up there that he could feel the pain she was going through right
now.
Domon Kasshu stood beside his wife, stroking her hair. She had been in labor or
over ten hours and had become fully dilated about two hours ago. Since
then, her anger had reached its limits and Domon thought, for sure that she was
going to break his left hand.
Rain fell back and laid her head on the pillow. The light reflected off of the
sweat rolling down her face. This was hell. Her moment of relaxing didn't
last long before another contraction. She screamed and started to push again.
"I can see the head!" The assistant doctor screamed. "Quick, get the salad
spoons!"
"WHAT?!" Both Domon and Rain screamed together.
The assistant doctor only smirked, "I was just joking around."
Domon narrowed his eyes, "You had better be or I'll--" Rain's scream cut him
off as she clutched his hand tighter.
"You're doing great, Rain! The head is out! Keep pushing. You got it…just a
little more."
Rain took in a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly. The pain was unbearable.
She was praying this would be over soon. She screamed as she kept pushing. She
was never making love to Domon again. This was a once in a lifetime
experience. No way. Not ever again. She screamed one last time as the newborn
baby was taken from her body. She fell back on the bed and released Domon's
hands. Salty tears mixing with her bodily fluids as she tried looking up to see
her child.
"Congratulations," The doctor said as he handed the crying baby to Rain. "You
have a beautiful baby girl."
Domon was speechless as he watched Rain take his daughter into her arms,
cradling the small body close to her chest. Tears were streaming down Rain's
cheek as she stroked her daughter's black hair and kissed her forehead
tenderly. The God Gundam pilot couldn't speak or move. He was frozen.
Rain whipped her tears away as she looked up at her husband. He stood beside
her, unmoving, and the tiniest hint of tears glistened in his eyes. She tugged
on the sleeve of his shirt. "Domon, honey?"
The Japanese man was brought out of his stupor by his wife's tender voice, "Uhh…what
is it?"
"Would you like to hold her?"
"Uhh…sure," Domon reached out as Rain gently laid their daughter in his arms.
He had no Earthly idea how to hold a baby. So, to improvise, he brought her close
to his chest and smiled down at her. She was beautiful.
"Ahem…" The doctor cleared his throat. Rain looked up at him but Domon,
however, was transfixed with admiring his daughter.
"What are you going to name her?" The doctor asked.
Rain put a finger to her chin and thought for a moment, "I…don't know. Domon
and I never went ov--"
"Haiku."
The doctor and Rain all looked down Domon, who was still looking down into his
daughter's blue eyes. One of her hands curled into a tiny little fist around
her father's finger.
"Excuse me?"
"Haiku," Domon repeated once more and looked at the doctor and then at Rain. "Haiku
Kasshu."
Rain smiled and nodded in agreement, "Haiku."
Domon bent down and placed a loving kiss on Rain's lips. He didn't linger due
to the child in his arms, who was eyeing her two parents curiously.
"I love you, Rain."
The mechanic smiled and kissed her husband again. She patted her daughters
head, "I love you too, Domon."
