Chapter 6: Nine Months Already? Baby! Surprise from Kyo!
Princess Sango
Tohru woke up and felt pain spread throughout her body and wetness surround her lower body. Gasping she held her stomach and called out for Tomiko, since it was only 4:00 a.m. Tomiko came running and instantly knew what to do, she took Tohru's bag out of the closet and called the ambulance to come and take Tohru to the hospital so she could deliver. Well to say the least the ambulance was fast and was ushering the two girls inside as Tohru's contractions got worse.
Tomiko shook her head but pat Tohru's head and tried to calm her down as they soon entered the hospital and was about to deliver. Holding Tohru's hand Tomiko looked scared since she's never seen anyone in labor and this was the only person that cared for her now. When the squeeze tightened around her fingers she almost thought they were broken and then heard a baby's cry and Tohru's sigh as she smiled up at Tomiko, "Thank-you."
"You're welcome Mom, but you still have to see the baby and name it," she answered, relieved that Tohru was alright.
"Hai, why don't we decide on a name together?"
"Yes, we should do that."
Tohru then remembered that the baby was a boy and the problem was that he was a zodiac animal most likely, but when she saw the guy holding the child was male she sighed, "Thank Kami-sama I wore the necklace, especially now."
"Nani?"
"Don't mind me, but I need to make one for you. Don't ask please."
"Okay mom, okay…"
Tohru sighed as the guy handed her the child, "He's a good boy, and do you want me to call your husband?"
"Oh…I'm not married," Tohru answered, blushing slightly.
"Oh, sorry, I thought since this girl called you mom you were. Then again…" he said, observing the blonde hair on Tomiko and the brown hair on Tohru.
"It's an honest mistake I'm sure, she's adopted but she calls me mom."
"Oh, I'll come back in later." With that he left and Tohru and Tomiko sighed as they tried to discuss names and they decided on Kazuki which means, to them, "first of a new generation", and Tohru knew that was also true, he just started the zodiac cycle over again.
"Kazuki Sohma, a wonderful name for him," Tohru whispered as Tomiko nodded to her.
"Sohma?" Tomiko asked.
"That's the father's name, I wonder which one…" Tohru asked thinking about the possible year of the Chinese Zodiac it was and realized it was the year of the dragon! Seems like Hattori had the run for his money, but was it really the seahorse, that could be a problem…
"Mom can I hold him?"
"Not right now, not until I give you something, but until then, no."
Tomiko nodded and gently stroked her younger brother's head and took in his features. Soft silver yet brown hair, purple pools that seemed to go on forever in the eyes, and such soft features on the face, I wonder if that's what the father looks like? Wait that room, I'll go look soon but for now I'm happy.
She didn't know how right she was…
Sohma's…
Yuki looked up from his journal as he looked at the wall, 9 months, enough that she could've had the baby any day now. Shigure came inside and sat down next to him, "You look better, are you feeling better?"
"A little but I can't move on it seems, not only that but it's been nine months."
"Yes it has been and she could've had the baby you guys created together by now. Don't worry Tohru wouldn't want you to, but if you need anything I'm in my office okay?"
"Okay," Yuki answered as Shigure left and Yuki came inside, "What do you want?"
"I want to say I'm engaged to Kagura now."
"Honto?" Yuki asked eyes wide.
"Yeah, I have no chance in hell with Tohru and Kagura and I have been dating recently, I just had the guts tonight to ask her."
Yuki put on a fake smile, "That's great Kyo, hope you'll be happy."
"So do I, do you think Tohru would be happy about that?"
"I'm sure she would, I'm sure she would…" Yuki answered and looked out the window, spacing out.
