Stage 6 Cont.

::SEVERAL Hours Later::

"AHHHHH!"

"Shuichi!" Yuki was at his side.

"Nurse....Yuki...."

He hit the button for the fifth time that night. "Pray this is it!"

"You have no idea..."

A moment later Nurse Mariko came rushing in with Doctor Aroiyo, Shuichi's physician.. "I think they're..." Shuichi wheezed. "Coming in more closely together!" He sat down pulling himself up close to his patient and began to check his vitals. He lifted his head up and nodded. "I think you're right, Shindou-san!" He sent the nurse into the hall, "Go fetch a gurney! We're going to wheel him into the delivery room!" "Is that..." Gasp. "Really necessary?" "It is if you want me to do the C-section with proper tools."

Shuichi blanched.

"Now's not the time to joke, Sensei." Yuki's voice was like ice.

Aroiyo-sensei turned to face the novelist. He nodded. "Of course. You are correct, Yuki-san."

"Get him to the delivery room, stat!" He repeated again, feeling the other man's gaze burning into him.

Several nurses came in, transferring his lover over onto the gurney. "Yuki?" The blonde lifted his gaze. "Hmm?" "You will be in the delivery room won't you?" "Sure, Shu-chan." "Promise..." He winced as another round of pain shot through him. "Yeah. Right after I make some calls, okay?" They started to wheel him down the hall, Yuki keeping pace. "It can't be that important..." "I just thought you might want Ryuichi, Hiro, and Tatsuha to know..." "Oh. Okay, Yuki!" He grasped his lover's hand. "I-I love you..."

"So you've told me."

He let go.

"I'll be there in a while."

The novelist found a pay phone on the ground floor near the cafeteria. He fished in his pocket for change and fed it to the device, deciding on who he should call first. One had to develop some sort of system.... Yuki finally decided to call his younger brother, Tatsuha. Tatsuha would tell Mika, Mika would inform Seguchi, and Seguchi would alert the members of Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper. A sure-fire plan! Ring, ring, ring! He drummed his fingers against the wall. "Pick up, Tatsuha, damn you!" "Moushi, moushi! This is the Seguchi Residence..." Seguchi's voice came in loud and clear. "We're not here to..." "Moushi moushi!" "Tatsuha!" "Hi, Aniki!" "What're YOU doing up so late!?"

"I could ask the same of you, you pain! Where's Mika?"

"Asleep. Why?"

"And Seguchi?"

"Still at work I suppose... Like I said. Why?"

"Shuichi went into labor."

"WHAT!?"

He winced. "Shut up! Damn you're loud!"

"When?!"

Mika's voice came in loud and clear after this, "Tatsuha, why are you still up?"

"Shh, Mika..." He could faintly hear the phone being covered. "Shuichi went into labor. I'm on the phone with, Aniki."

"What!? Give me that!"

The phone was snatached away from a whining Tatsuha.

"What's this about, Eiri!?"

"Just what Tatsuha said."

"So the kid's in labor?"

"Yeah..."

She sighed. "I'll call Tohma...He'll get the word out."

"I thought it might work that way."

"Which hospital, Eiri?"

"Tokyo University Hospital."

"I'll be down there as quick as I can. Stay right there!" She hung up the phone.

Yuki lowered it from his ear, staring at the mouth piece. "Right. Where am I suppose to go?" He hung it up.

When he had finally gotten his scrubs on, he entered the labor and delivery room to find his Shu-chan wailing and screaming like a banshee from one of the seven hells. "You son of a-!" "Control yourself, Shindou-san!" a nursed hollered. "Like hell I will!" His poor face was contorted in pain.

Yuki smirked upon entering. This was nothing new; just Shuichi acting like his bitchy, irritating self. His young lover, however, saw this and his face contorted in rage. "Basssstard...." he hissed. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, EIRI UESUGI, I'M GONNA-!" The novelist blanched. "Please, Yuki-san. Come over here and calm him down. He doesn't seem to be responding to anyone here...." The man snorted. "Really. It seems all he wants to do is do me bodily injury. I'm afraid I probably won't be much help." Nurse Mariko had a pleading look.

"At least try...."

"Fine!"

"Shuichi's where?" Hiro asked, walking next to Suguru Fujisaki who kept muttering, "I just don't believe it."

"The hospital," K answered. "Or so I've heard from Tohma."

"Do you think anything's happened to Shindou-san?" Sakano-san asked worriedly.

"Probably not. I heard he just went into to labor..." It was said like that. Just went into labor. As if it was nothing!

"WHAT!?" the guitarist grabbed his manager's collar. "LABOR!?"

"Yes...Labor."

He pried the man's hands off him.

"And?"

"That's all I heard. I suspect we'll here the rest from Yuki-san's younger brother, Tatsuha. He spoke directly to the expectant father."

Ryuichi chewed on his nails. "Shu-chan's in the hospital!" He looked at Noriko Ukai with worried eyes. "To have his baby, Ryu... Nothing serious." The rock star didn't look reassured. "That's right, Ryuichi. I'm sure Shindou-san will we fine," intoned Tohma's calm voice. "Let's hope your right..." Mika's voice was sad. "Eiri will go to pieces if anything happens to him... I don't want to see Eiri hurt again." Her arms were wrapped around her body.

"AHHHHH!!!!! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! SON OF A BITCH IT HURTS!" Shuichi almost sat up in the bed as he said this, screaming at the top of his lungs, squeezing Yuki's hand with all his might.

Yuki winced at Shuichi's iron grip.

He tried to extract his hand earlier, but no dice.

"Shindou-san!" Aroiyo-sensei snapped. "I cannot perform the C-section if you insist on screaming like that."

Shuichi looked at the scalpel.

"NOW WAY IN THE SEVEN HELLS! I WANT ANESTHETICS!"

"And you shall have them."

Another round of pain tore through his small body. "Ahhhh!"

"Then I WANT PAINKILLERS!" He grabbed the doctor by the collar. "GIVE ME THE DAMN NEEDLE! I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!" The pain ripping through his lower back and abdomen was too much to bear! Yuki took this opportunity to try to slink away, while Shuichi's focus was on his physician. Like a cobra he snapped his head to the other side, eyes wide, and teeth gritted! "AND JUST WHERE IN THE SEVEN HELLS DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, YUKI!"

The novelist stopped in his tracks as he was yanked back by the collar of his own shirt. "THE ANSWER: NO WHERE!" Pain ripped through his small body again. "DAMN YOU, YUKI! YOU DID THIS TO ME, YOU BASTARD! I HATE YOUR DAMN GUTS!" "Oh, dear..." Nurse Mariko murmured. "I told you I wouldn't be of help...." He jerked away. "Give him the anesthetics!" the doctor hollered and soon after a gas mask was clamped over the violent singer's face.

When Aroiyo-sensei was sure the vocalist was out, he set to doing the procedure. Yuki by this time was out of the room, hoping for the best....

Yuki met the group near the cafeteria as they were about to start their ascent up to the maternity ward. "Eiri!" Mika rushed up and grabbed him arm. "Ho-how's Shindou?" The others looked on expectantly. "Fine as ever. Cursed me out before they put the gas mask on him." "So he's fine?" "Yes! Didn't I just get to through saying that?" "And you, Eiri-san," Tohma murmured. "Are you well?" He dragged a hand through his hair. "Tired, but I'll be fine." He looked towards the elevator. "Agitated, more than anything."

"Any complications?" K asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No."

"Good!" He slapped the novelist's back. "Then you have nothing to worry about!"

Yuki frowned. "I'm not so sure..."

"Eiri-san.."

He looked into his brother-in-law's eyes. "Please join me in having some coffee. It'll calm your nerves perhaps..."

The blonde shook his head.

Everyone was on edge in a different way; drinking coffee, twiddling their thumbs, humming song. Tohma spent most of his time on the phone, ordering stuff for the new child about to enter this world. It was six o'clock am. "We should have heard something!" Yuki growled his heart filling with dread.

Suddenly, he noticed someone. Nurse Mariko she was running down hall way. "Yuki-san!" He picked his head up. "The baby's here!" His eyes snapped open. Why hadn't he been there to see her born! "Come!' He cast a glance back at the small group. "Go ahead, Yuki-san!" Ryuichi murmured. "Go to Shu-chan and your baby!" He nodded and followed the nurse at a brisk pace.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"What is it?"

She smiled, "Now, why would you want to ruin the surprise, Yuki-san? But she's very beautiful-Ooops!" She grinned deeper. "Guess I spilled the beans. Shindou-san probably wanted to tell you. He's very tired." The blonde nodded. "I can see the baby?" "But of course," Nurse Mariko threw him her best smile. "I'll take you to his room." "He's al ready back there?" "Oh, yes. The operation was over a while ago. He's been in here for awhile." Smile. "You can see the love in his eyes. He truly loves your child, Yuki-san..."

They finally came upon room 250. "Well," She pushed it open. "Go on in."

Shuichi was sleeping or appeared to be sleeping, for his head was propped up and turned to the baby, a smile on his face. When Yuki entered the room, he put a finger up to his lips with joy dancing in his amethyst eyes. "Shhh." The novelist could feel the happiness and pride radiating from his young lover. "She's sleeping." The older man carefully walked around the bed and peered into the basinet his daughter was sleeping in. "Isn't she beautiful, Yuki..." Shu-chan's breath was breathy.

Yuki looked at his daughter and reached hand out, fingers gently stroking her cheek. She looked to be a peaceful cherub, her chubby cheeks rosy, small lips, ears, and a nose. His heart hitched in his chest. She was clothed in the hospital baby gown, pink for girls, a matching cap to cover her bald head. He leaned down to look at the band on her tiny wrist: baby girl, Uesugi. The novelist was mesmerized. "Isn't she, Yuki?" Shuichi's hand joined his, their fingers entwining. He looked up, his golden eyes locked with the other's violet ones. "Yeah, she is. Just like her mommy." He grinned at this.

The bunny blushed, Kumogorou near the railing of his bed. Yuki picked up the stuffed bunny and placed it in his child's basinet. "I love you, Yuki...." The older man looked up, his eyes once more fixed on his young lover's. He didn't say anything at first. "Yuki?" He leaned down and placed a gentle coaxing kiss on Shuichi's soft lips. When he lifted his head, something changed in the novelist's eyes. It was if they had become softer...

"I love you too, brat..."

The boy was speechless. "Yuki...."
