A sequel of sorts to Jitters which it takes place after.

Mostly this story is a bit of Saint Tail drabble.

A Man's Pride

* * * * *         

            There are a couple of times in a man's life when he feels incredible pride and happiness.  One is the day he gets married.  Another is the first time he becomes a father.

            Well, on this day Asuka was feeling the latter as he held his infant daughter for the first time.  He could only stare down at her sleeping face with a sense of awe and joy.

            How can just holding my daughter make me so proud? he thought.

            My daughter, my daughter.  She's my daughter.  She's Meimi's and mine. 

            "She looks just like Meimi," he said.

            "I think she looks a lot like you," Meimi said startling her husband because he was not aware Meimi was awake and because he did not think he had spoken the last line out loud.

            Another thing a man is proud of is his wife.  She is his friend, lover, confidant and a source of strength. 

            She is the woman that has given me a most precious gift, Asuka thought as he leaned forward to pass his daughter off to his wife.  Asuka sat on the edge of the bed carefully next to Meimi.  He placed an arm carefully around her shoulders, so as not to disturb his sleeping daughter. 

            And he sat on the edge of the bed comfortably with his family, thinking of how proud just having his wife and daughter made him feel.
