We Need More Help

Most of them were still mute with shock, and the others still holding the power of speech weren't talking. The scene was eerily silent after all the mayhem of the birth.

"Give me my child," they heard Juuhachi command in a low, deadly voice. When nobody moved, her maternal instincts, nowhere close to eliminated, kicked in. "GIVE ME MY CHILD!"

Buruma rushed in to hand the baby to Juuhachi, who clutched at her child with a highly possessive mien. She looked like she'd be ready to kill anyone who came near. Her eyes were glinting like a lion protecting her territory.

Against her better judgment, Rancha approached her. "Juuhachi," she said, "this is more than we can handle. I think we need to bring in…a doctor."

Just then, the most suprising emotion flashed through Juuhachi's eyes. Fear. Nobody except Kururin knew about her fears, and the greatest of all was doctors. The endless violation and abuse that Dr. Nijuu Gero had inflicted on her had stayed in the back of her memories and had stamped a fear of doctors into her forever.

"No," she growled.

"But…" Rancha began.

"NO!"

Kururin, still with tears in his eyes, somehow managed to straighten himself and stagger into the room. He kneeled beside her, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Juuhachi," he whispered. "We have to. Our daughter will die without one."

She looked at him with tears in her eyes. Silence reigned until finally, she nodded.

"Okay," Rancha said, relieved. She was afraid that Juuhachi would refuse, and they'd lose all chances of saving the baby. Then she stopped and mused for a second. "We can't move her," she muttered. "So…we have to bring the doctor here." She snapped her head around. "Goku!"

"On it," he said, pressing two fingers to his forehead, and disappeared.

Well, here it is, what you've been waiting for. The 5th chapter. If I'm getting poetic…hey, there's a reason this is rated Drama! I think Juuhachi would've made a big deal out of the doctor thing, since of what I imagine Dr. Gero must've done to her. In fact, I'd go so far as to believe that he raped her.

Well, as I always put on the bottom of my other chapters…REVIEW!
