Okay, I'll answer all of your questions right now. I WILL write a sequel, and Botan's baby IS going to be a girl(or maybe 2) . And the reason I'm doing this is because TIBBYANMA and SILVERMANE1 ACTUALLY SUGGESTED THINGS! And if anyone else had suggested things I would have done them. If someone suggested Botan's baby be a pink elephant, than by god I would make Botan's baby a pink elephant! I am a woman of my word, and I keep my word and, hey look! These 2 people suggested these things and I'm doing it! Botan sighed as she put her white nurse uniform on, it went a little to her mid thigh with pink sleeves, which showed others she worked in the children section of the hospital, slipping into her white stockings, and then proceeded with her white high-heels. During the pregnancy Botan had been changing back into her normal self rather quickly it was only today that Botan noticed that there the little black streaks were gone. She was happy but, she felt strange today, she didn't know what it was but she felt....odd. But alas, Botan had no time to rejoice as she headed out the door for work.
Botan had been running around all day. She cared for 32 sick kids today, and went to a meeting. But this meeting for kids at the Okinawa High School. Botan was the main speaker, she went there to talk to them about sex, condoms, teenage mothers and yadda yadda yadda.
It was a long day and all Botan wanted to do was go home. She watched her feet click and clack in those white nurse shoes. There it was again, she had that strange feeling. Botan was scared of what it was so she took a left and headed in the direction of the hospital. (Botan lives a few blocks away from the hospital so she walks there.)
Botan went to consult the only nurse in the hospital who didn't pity her, and the only one who befriended her. Her name was Akina Honzo. Akina was a soft spoken and kind girl. She had raven black hair that went a little past her shoulders, and gentle, indigo eyes. She was a year older than Botan, and was the mother of a little girl, but now was a mother of none. Her daughter had died 7 months ago, apparently, her boyfriend was a drunk, and saw the eyes of his daughter and claimed he wasn't the father. That night, was the last night Akina saw her daughter, alive. Akina was devastated when she returned later that night to find the father of her child gone, and her only child, in her crib, not breathing. The father strangled his daughter, because she didn't look like him. Ever since then, Akina appreciated people and things more for the sake of her daughter and herself.
Akina always helped Botan with her pregnancy, since all of this was new to her. And Akina always, cheerfully helped her.
As Botan approached the desk that Akina worked at, she heard water splash. Akina heard this and stood up to see Botan, standing in a puddle of water. She got up and ran to Botan. She hugged her and said, "Botan-chan! Botan-chan! Your water broke! You're going to have your baby!" Akina called a doctor and Botan was escorted to the delivery room. (Yah, I'm not sure how long this whole labor thing lasts so I'm just going to write the last few minutes. Oh and by the way I hope I didn't forget to mention that throughout this story, Hiei had grown and is taller than Botan by a few inches.)
Botan was tired, her hair was messy, Hiei hadn't shown up yet, and she couldn't hold off not pushing any longer. Yusuke and the rest of the gang were in the waiting room, and Akina was in the delivery room with Botan.
Hiei was watching the whole time through the window outside, but couldn't enter because of the doctors watching over Botan like hawks.
Hiei thought of an idea so he could sneak in the window, but he needed Kurama and Yusuke, 'FOX!' Hiei yelled telepathically ,
'Hiei, its about time! Where the hell are you Botan needs you! She is trying not to push, but it isn't working. She's waiting for you!?'
'I'm outside the window but I can't get in cause of those god damn doctors! I need you and Yusuke to get their attention while I sneak in.'
'How are we supposed to do that?!'
'I don't know -break a vase or something!'
'Fine, and good luck......Dad.'
Hiei smiled to himself, that is what his child was going to call him when it could speak. All that could be heard from the other side of the door was the sound of glass breaking and two people laughing like maniacs and about eight nurses' heels echoing down the halls as they chased, what seemed like lunatics. As all the headsin the room turned towards the door, Hiei leaped in through the window and was at Botan's side when her head turned back. Botan gasped and threw her arms around Hiei, and then slapped him. "Hiei!Where were you, I've been in labor for six hours and you come to join me in the last ten minutes?!"
Hiei sweatdropped and figured it was the mood swings and nodded.
Botan screamed as the doctors told her one more push, as she gathered her strength, she did, and a cry was heard, but not from the baby, not from Botan, not from Hiei, not from Akina, not from the nurse pretending she was helping, not from the nurses in training, but from.....the doctor? He sniffed and then snorted, and Hiei and Botan looked at each other in confusion. The doctor stood up and said, rather gloriously, "Ms. Botan, you are not just having one bundle of joy to love, hug, kiss, cradle, feed, poke, laugh and take care of, but........TWO!!!! (Haha, that's what happened when my sister and I were born, the doctor was more proud of us then our parents, of course they didn't know if we were a boy, a girl, or even if there were two of us! Talk about caring. o.–;)
And the same process began, except it didn't take as long as her first. She had contractions, she pushed and the last one came and her other baby girl was born(and in under a minute too). Akina took both babies, cleaned them off and handed the youngest to Hiei and the oldest to Botan. The oldest had light blue hair like Botan, with a white streak on the side of her head, her eyes were red, like Hiei's. The second one had black hair, with a white streak in the front, her eyes were light pink, like Botan's. Both were small babies, and didn't weigh very much at all, but were very healthy. The doctor left the room in tears (like he always did when he delivered a baby) and the nurses followed. Akina patted the babies and said, "Kawaii na ne?" (English: "Isn't she cute?" Not sure if that's how it is said) Akina's shift was over, and on her way out she allowed Botan and Hiei's friends to see the babies. The girls were awe-struck at the little babies and there cuteness. Yusuke went up to Hiei and gave him a pat on the shoulder and said, "Twins, ne? Way ta go Hiei!"
Kurama held the one that resembled Botan more before he said, "What are their names?"
Botan looked at Hiei and said, "Oh, my god, we almost forgot to name our babies!" Gah! We're bad parents!" She hit her forehead, with the hand that was free, a baby in the other. Botan thought for a minute and said, "What about Hanabi?" She said as she looked down at her youngest. (eh, the one with black hair) The baby put her hand on her mother's face and cooed. Botan giggled and said, "Hanabi it is then." (Hanabi means fire flower, or at least that's what the website told me) Kurama handed Hiei the unnamed child, Hiei looked down at her, how much she reminded him of Botan. 'Botan, that was a flower wasn't it? Yes a peony. That's it!' Hiei looked up, all eyes were on him. "You mean..." Botan nodded and said, "She's all yours to name Hiei."
Just then Akina entered the room, but she was holding the hand of Izumi Sano, (the sick boy) "Forgot my keys." She said sheepishly. Botan saw him and waved, but then wondered why he was with her. "Oh! That's right Botan forgot to tell you, Sano is my brother, and he is ready to go home tonight." Botan smiled at Sano, as he jumped with joy, "That's right!"
Botan remembered she was to let Sano name her baby, but, Hiei must have read her mind, for he looked at the boy and said, "Hey, I'm having trouble name my daughter, would you like to help?" He thought for a second and said, "Well, I can't think of anything!" Sano laughed and walked over to Botan to see Hanabi. Hiei turned to Akina and said, "Would you like to, Akina?" Akina had only one name for a girl on her mind, and that name alone brought painful memories back, so she lied, "No, I can't think of anything either."
She took Sano's hand as they were about to exit the room before Hiei said, "What about your daughter's name?" Akina's heels stopped clicking as she stopped dead in her tracks. (Hiei has been watching over Botan day and night and he hears everything, so he read Akina's mind to make sure she wasn't a killer and stuff. He also wants to name his daughter the name of her daughter, but he thinks it will ruin the friendship that she has with Botan if her child is named that same name without her knowing.)
Akina lowered her head and said, "...........Kohana........" before closing the door silently. Hiei looked to Botan and said, "Hanabi and Kohana, or Kohana and Hanabi?" Botan giggled, and so did everyone else. (Kohana means a little flower)
The guys left a few hours later, and the babies were taken to the infantry to sleep. Hiei and Botan snuggled, and Hiei said, "This has been one hell of a year, ne koibito?" Botan responded with a light giggle. As they looked out the window at the silvery-blue moon, they were no longer crushes, no longer lovers, no longer soon-to-be parents, but they were now a family.
So did you like it? How about a sequel? Well, if you don't want a sequel, then you don't but if you do you do. But I must now say good-bye to my fic now if you don't want one. So LOVE, it's been real. I remember when you ::sniffle:: when you were just a little chapter, with just 4 reviews, and now you have 81. Reviewers, it's been real, man. I hope you guys stick with H/B fics, and read more of mine when I make them. But it will take me awhile, to-to get used to not being with LOVE. I hate it when fics end and the readers are like 'Aaawww I don't wan it to end (that's what I do) but the writers, they go through so much more, they are the ones who wrote that 1 little word, that turns into like 1000. Well guys, it's been real, so long LOVE. Please tell me if you want a sequel! BYE!!!
