(IN A ROOM OF THE HOUSE OF THE SHINOMORIS)
"AAAAAAAAAA!" A woman is screaming from the pain of giving birth to a child.
"Push my Lady, Push" said the voice of a man doctor that is doing his best to help make the birth faster and less painful, but did not succeeded in the matter of less pain for the lady is still screaming in pain.
(OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM WHERE THE WOMAN IS SCREAMING)
"What is taking them so long?" asked a man that was walking back and forth. He was a tall young man with black hair and blue eyes. (AN: Now for what he was wearing. Imagine a brown suite and a jacket that is also brown only instead of it ending straight; it ends with two tails that drop at the bottom. OK)
"My Lord" said the voice of a man coming from another room, hands holding a tray with some tea. (AN: He is wearing the same thing, only in black and I won't tell you who he is. find out)
"Yes Hannya?" (AN: Yes that's right, are you glad that you waited?) asked the man that was pacing back and forth in the room that was right beside the room where the woman is giving birth.
"Maybe my Lord should take a little rest for awhile, you've been out all day hard at work and has not rested yet" said Hannya putting the try down on a small tea table that was right by a sofa in the lit hallway. The hallway was very fancy. On it were some small pictures of family members and of friends. And the walls were decorated in fancy wallpaper of flowers. And the part of the wall that did not have wallpaper was the color gold. And there were fancy lamps coming out of the wall. And there were a lot of windows in the house.
"No I can not sleep and I shall not sleep," said the young man, sitting down on the couch and taking the teacup that the butler Hannya gave him. "Thank you Hannya"
"It is my pleasure to serve you, my Lord" Hannya said bowing down to his Lord.
"You do not have to be so formal Hannya." said the young man smiling at Hannya. "You are a good friend of my family, you are family, so there is no reason to be so formal. That is except when my Mother and Father and Grandmother and Grandfather come to visit. Personally I hate it when they come" said the young man, putting his head in his hands.
"Not to be rude my Lord" Hannya said looking at his master that looked at him. "I don't personally like it when they come too, not to be rude to your family my Lord" Hannya said looking very apologetically at his Master again.
"It is all right, there is no reason to fret." The young man said smiling at Hannya. "I, as well feel the same"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"PUSH MY LADY, PUSH,"
"Is it coming out?" asked one of the maidens.
"Yes, yes it is, it's coming out my lady. Your child is coming, just push harder" said the doctor. This is what Hannya and his Master heard form the hall.
"My Lord" Hannya said looking at him and getting his master to look at him with confusion written all over his face. "You'll be a father in two or three minutes, maybe you should go in there and support your wife, like a good husband should do during times like this"
"I know… but I feel like… I don't know what it is that I feel right now… I guess I feel scared… and I don't know why that is Hannya. Hannya you have been in our family for a very long time, what was it that my father did when my mother had my brothers and I?" the young Master asked. (AN: I know it's obvious. But I just write it anyways)
"What your father did? Well what your father did was ask me that same question of what his father did, so I'll tell you what I told your father. Just go in there and support her. She's in a lot of pain and she needs as much help as she can get."
"But—"
"No buts young master" Hannya said interrupting the master. "It does not matter if you and her just got married and are already having a child, you and her will grow to love each other as much as your mother and father loved each other, yes maybe you two were forced to marry young, and like a flower, your wife will grow more and more beautiful each day. And then the day will come when you realize that you are happy, and you'll thank your parents for that, not that they ever do but you get the idea"
"You're right Hannya, there is nothing to be afraid or nervous about, nothing" the young master said standing up to go to the room where his wife is giving birth to his first child.
"That is right my Lord" Hannya said bowing towards his Master. "And may I say something else?"
"Yes Hannya, ask your question."
"Well really my Lord I have one question and some more to say,"
"Yes?" the young Master said looking at Hannya very curiously.
"Just so you know young Master that you are not the only one that is nervous and afraid, your wife as well is afraid to say something to you, I have to say that she is more nervous than scared to talk with you"
"Thank you Hannya, now I know why my Father trusted to keep safe his most important possessions in your hands" the young Master said smiling at Hannya.
"Thank you young Master, as for the question, what do you plan on naming your child?"
"To be honest… I do not know yet, maybe because I do not know if my child is a boy or girl."
"Ah… I see"
"Oh and Hannya?"
"Yes my Lord?"
"When it's just you and me… please do not call me young Master and Lord, but by my name, I feel that if you and all of the over servants call me by those name that I will forget my birth name. Do I make myself clear?" asked the young Master turning around smiling at Hannya.
"Yes, Lord Soujiro, and please allow me to add Lord to your name"
Soujiro just smiled at him and turned towards the door where his wife is and that had already given birth to the child while Soujiro was talking to Hannya.
"That is all right Hannya" Lord Soujiro said opening the door where his wife is.
"Soujiro darling" a very weak voice said. There was his wife lying down on the bed and she was all sweaty. She had black hair and also had blue eyes, only that hers were much lighter than Soujiros' were.
"Congratulations Lord Soujiro" said Hannya that some how got in the room while Soujiro wasn't paying attention. "You are a father to twins, and they are both boys" When Hannya said those words two maidens walked towards Soujiro. Both his sons were there in their arms. One was asleep and the other was awake. They were both very tiny. The baby that was awake had blue eyes like his mother, and was looking at Soujiro with curiosity. And started to wiggle in the maidens arms.
"I think that he wants to be in your arms my Lord," The maiden said walking towards Soijiro and putting the baby in his arms.
"Omasu?" was all that Soujiro was able to say because by the time he finished saying the maidens' name his son was already in his arms and looking at him.
"No, No my Lord that is not the way that one should hold his new born child" Omasu said walking towards him and rearranging the way that he was holding the baby boy. "There now that is the way you should do it my Lord" Omasu said obviously very proud of her work.
"Thank you Omasu" Soujiro said smiling at her and then at his son that smiled back at him.
"Umm… my Lord?" asked the maiden Omasu.
"Yes?" Soujiro said looking up at Omasu.
"What will you name them? The baby that you are holding is the first born. In case you wanted to know"
"Thank you again Omasu" Soujiro said smiling at her. (Again)
Soujiro walked towards, his wife with his son in his arms. His wife, which had been looking at the whole scene and smiled at him when he got to her and smiled back at her And looked at their son that was smiling at her. It was like he knew that the woman was his mother and the man that was holding him was his father.
"What will we name him?" asked Soujiro to his wife.
"I had a big brother, but he died young and I had promised my mother and father that if I ever had a son that I would name him Kin. That name has been passed down my family for generations. It means: Golden" She said in a very weak voice. Soujiro smiled at her, and then looked at his son.
"Kin?" Soujiro said to his son. And like as if the baby boy were all grown up answered with a small laugh and kept the smile on his face and made a small noise like this: "Humuamu, hahahaha. (AN: What am I supposed to know?) At that Soujiro smiled. "Then Andre it is" Soujiro smiled at his son and back at his wife that was also smiling at them.
"Uh-Um, my Lord and Lady?" asked Omasu. At this Soujiro turned around and looked at her with some confusion.
"What is it Omasu?" Soujiro asked very concerned written all over his face. "Is something the matter?"
"No my Lord nothing is the matter"
"Then what is it?"
"Well you have two sons, what will you name your other?" Omasu asked taking the other baby out of the other maidens' arms and showing it to her Master.
"Right… yes I had forgotten about him, I guess because of the joy I felt about having a child of my own and not just one but two sons." Soujiro said with his smile still on his face. "His name shall be Kiyoshi, that is the name that my mother wanted to name my brothers and I, but my father had said no, it means: Quiet" Soujiro walked towards Omasu, son still in his arms, and smiled at his youngest son that was still asleep.
"Kin and Kiyoshi, I like that" said Soujiros wife.
"Yes I do too" said Soujiro smiling at his two sons and at everyone that was in the room.
