Chapter 4: the Day has Come
The next few moths pasted quickly and Hitomi began to really show. Both her and Yukari sat in the library reading. "Uh, this is so boring! I can't stand this any more Yukari! I wish that these stupid kids would just hurry up and get out! I can hardly do anything!" Hitomi yelled as she threw her book down onto the ground.
"Hitomi, you only have a month and even after that, you'll have to look after them." she answered her back without removing her eyes from her book.
"Why did I have to go and get myself knocked up?" she asked herself aloud.
"I dunno Hitomi." Yukari replied still keeping her eyes on her book.
"I didn't ask you ya know." Hitomi said as she slowly and carefully stood up.
"Ok"Yukari said as she read obviously not paying attention to Hitomi.
Soon Hitomi was in her ninth month of pregnancy and the time of birth was quickly rolling around. It was a cold and stormy night and Hitomi was going into labour. Yukari sat on Hitomi's left coaching her and Van sat on her right side holding her hand. Millerna had the privilege of delivering the newly born children.
"Ok Hitomi, take in a deep breath and push as hard as you can alright." Millerna yelled over Hitomi's screaming. After a few pushes, the first child was born. Millerna smiled and told the it was a girl. Hitomi sighed with relief, she was half way done. They went through the same routine again and the next child was a boy. Hitomi layed back on the bed exhausted. Millerna had the nurses clean up the children and wrap them in a soft warm blanket. Once everything was all cleaned up, everyone but Van had left. He stayed and layed down beside Hitomi for comfort.
When Hitomi came to, her and Van discussed different names for their two new born children. "Van, how about Artemis for our daughter?" Hitomi suggested as she traced her finger down her daughter's cheek.
"That's sounds like a great name for her, now, what about our son?" Van said fixing the young newly born boy in his arms.
"What about Allen?" Van's body stiffened. "Van I'm only joking." she said to him in a joking manner.
"Why don't we call him William?" he looked at and smiled.
"Why William?"
"Well, I've always been a fan of this famous play writer on Earth who was named William. And William has always sounded like a strong name." she smiled at her children which laid fast asleep in their arms.
A/N: Yes, I know this chapter is short but I'm having a huge writer's block so this is all you're gonna get for now. I hope to get another chapter written soon but it depends on if I still have my writer's block. All Flames can be e mailed to me at sailor_cosmos71@hotmail.com
