Big Bro

Xien leaned against the wall. They had just gotten back from their first date.
"I had fun. The best part was-"Xien was cut off as screams filled the air.
Rian's eyes widened in panic. "Mother!!"

"Mom!! What's wrong!!" Rian exclaimed as he burst through the door.
"AAHH! Rian, go get Megumi!! The baby's coming!!" Tsambe yelled from her room.
Rian turned around on a dime, never slowing, and ran through the door. He never noticed that Xien slipped past him.

"Tsambe, are you ok?" Xien asked.
Tsambe stared. "No. The baby's coming, and I think things aren't going well."
Xien ran and got some pillows and blankets.
"I'll stay with you then."

The baby was too quiet. Breathe little one, breathe. You're gonna be a little swordsman like your big bro. Don't be like me. You're a fighter. Don't give up!!
Xien hugged the little one to her chest. Then, she remembered a trick that Megumi taught her.
Tilting his head back slightly, she blew into his mouth a couple times. Then again, and again. The little bundle gave a shudder, then started to breathe.
Xien sighed, then leaned to fall asleep against the wall.
**..**..

Rian rushed in, tripped over his feet, and fell over onto his face with an oof.
"Mom, we're....here?"
Tsambe sat with a little bundle in her arms. Xien layed cuddled up in a ball beside her, sleeping. She rolled over and mumbled, "Sai, little Sai. That's your name. Not some stupid name like Yahiko Jr."
Rian crawled over and poked her in the ribs lightly, then harder.
A dong resounded as the Frying Pan of Doom clashed with Rian's face for the first time to date.
Megumi finished checking Sai over. "You two sure did do a good job of keeping this little guy clean."
Xien sat up just then, rubbing her eyes. "What's going o-wha? What's goin' on?"
Tsambe smiled. "Xien did most of the work. She even named him Sai after Saitou."
"Why Saitou?"
"'Cause Saitou lives by the sword, even in the Meiji." Xien said, stretching. "Rian, what're you doing on the floor? And with my Frying Pan?"
