Prologue
"Kaede, I think I'm pregnant again." Whispered a smiling Shinya to her husband.
"Really! Looks like my 'efforts' in the past month had not been for naught." The usually aloof man smiled too, hugging his wife adoringly.
"This time we are going to make sure you give me a bouncing baby, and no one and take it away from us." He stared deeply into her violet eyes, making the promise.
Shinya smiled blissfully and kissed Kaede.

It was a happy day for the Rukawa family as they celebrated. After the miscarriage that Shinya had, the family was afraid that her womb may be damaged like some other women's and she would not be able to bear children.
"What are we going to name him?" The scan reports had came out and they found out that it was going to be a boy. "Ichiro. Rukawa Ichiro." Kaede replied solemnly.

Chapter 1
"Oh my god!" Shinya screamed as she felt another violent contraption in her lower belly. The nurses soothed her panicky nerves by inducing her to breathe in deeply and inhaling heavily.
~
Kaede paced outside the room, his stoic face blank, but to the careful observant, he was actually going mad with anticipation and worry. "Will Shinya and Ichiro be alright?" He bit his lower lip lightly.
~
"Shit shit shit shit! Aaaahh~! I hate you Rukawa Kaede! Why must you make me go through this?" Shinya shrieked mindlessly, gripping the bed sheets frantically, sweat trickling down her fair cheeks. "Relax, relax, here, breathe in…" The nurse cooed, "The baby's going to come out soon."
~
He heard her scream and sighed to himself. She must be in real pain to yell things like that. "Hey, stop pacing already. The baby won't come out earlier if you pace more." Muttered a tired Sendoh Akira, seated on the bench.
~
"I swear I'll make him sleep in the guestroom forever! Oh god~! Aaaaaaaah!" Shinya sobbed, closing her eyes to the pain. "Push! The baby's nearly out!" The doctor encouraged her, while using equipment to assist in the birth.
~
"There she goes again. Boy, she sounds like she's going to do it." Sendoh sighed.
" Don't be too amused yet, Ryoko's pregnant as well, isn't she?" Kaede snapped irritably.
"Two months. So meanwhile I try to get all the fun I can before she gives birth." Sendoh wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.
~
"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"
The loud cry of the baby broke the tense atmosphere of the room.
~
"The child's born!" Sendoh stood up very quickly after Kaede.
"It's my son. My son. Rukawa Ichiro."
