Ukyo and Trunks were sleeping so nicely in their bed. Things seemed so peaceful between the two. Ukyo's arm was around Trunks' waist. Then all of a sudden Ukyo felt a strong pain in her. She accidentally pushed her nails into Trunks. " OUCH!" He shouts as he jumps out of bed. He put his hand on his side and it was slightly bleeding. " Ukyo! What was that for?"
" Sorry hun… Oh… God… I think its coming!"
" You sure? Its really time?"
" Yes Trunks!"
Trunks was freaking out. " What to do, what to do… I don't know…."
" Get Jal and Seika in here!" She shouts as another contraction come upon her.
" Right…." Trunks runs out of the room and runs all the way over to Jal's room. He starts knocking on the door. " JAL!" Trunks shouts. He knocks again.
Jal slowly strolls to the door in her panties and slippers. He rubbed her eyes and looked up at Trunks. " Trunks, do you know what time it is?" Jal said sleepily.
" Yes… Its time for the baby!" Trunks shouts at the sleepy healer.
Jal snaps awake. " The babies coming! Alright, you go get Seika… I'll be right there." Trunks nods as he runs off to get Seika. Jal runs into her room. Keiko looks at his new mate. " What are you doing? And who was that at this hour?"
Jal rushed over to the dresser to get some things. " It was Trunks. Ukyo is in labor…. I have to take care of it."
Zanth comes out into the hall. " Mamma? What's going on?"
" Your auntie Ukyo is having her baby."
" Really!" The boy chriped.
" Yep."
" Can I come… I never saw a baby being born before."
" Alright Son, but just stay out of mommy's way."
" Okay."
Keiko got up. " I'll go too."
" Alright people… lets get going!" Jal and her family walked out the room and into Ukyo's.
Trunks ran into Seika's room. " Seika! Ukyo's in labor."
" I'm coming!" Seika shouted back. Seika ran passed Trunks and he soon followed after her. They arrived in Ukyo's room.
Jal was placing a wet cloth over Ukyo's stone. Ukyo's body temperature was way up. Her stone was throbbing and Ukyo began to breath hard. Trunks held her hand. " I'm right here Ukyo…."
Ukyo looked at Trunks. " Thank you…" Ukyo cringed as she felt another contraction. She squeezed Trunks' hand. He groaned in pain.
' Man… this is going to be a long labor… I just hope I last for the whole thing….'
' You're not the only one… I feel very weak Trunks. I don't know if I can do this.'
' Hey… don't talk like that. You're strong Ukyo. You can do this.'
Ukyo screamed as she felt a contraction and she once again squeezed Trunk's hand. Trunks clinched his teeth. Jal swiped the hair out of Ukyo's eyes and she rubbed her head with water again. Once again Ukyo let out a scream. " This is all your fault Trunks!"
Ukyo groaned. " Why does it hurt so much?" She whined as she leaned into the soothing coolness of the wet cloth.
Jal chuckled lightly and dabbed at Ukyo's forehead. " It's because you have a living being inside of you trying to get out."
Ukyo bit her lip as another contraction hit and squeezed Trunks hand. Trunks winced. " Ow, Ukyo, ease up a bit!" He cried.
Ukyo growled and turned to her mate. " This is your fault you know." She whispered dangerously.
Trunks looked up in surprise. " What?" His eyes wide as he watched her squeeze his hand and groaning at the tightening on his sensitive fingers.
Ukyo continued to growl in pain. "You got me pregnant!" She screamed.
Trunks tried his best to handle the great pain that was being inflicted on his hand. " This is what being a father's all about... man... now I know why my dad wasn't around when mom was having me... it hurts too much." Trunks groans again as he looks up at Seika. " Are we getting anywhere?"
Seika opened her mouth to answer the worried father but at that moment a loud clang rang through the room and the girl turned quickly to see Trunks holding his head in pain and Ukyo brandishing her pan.
" You think me squeezing your hand hurts! You don't know pain!" She screamed as she hit him again in the head.
Seika and Jal grabbed her arms and took the weapon away. "Ukyo, you need to relax or you'll put more stress on the baby." Seika said.
Ukyo fell back to her pillow and whimpered as Jal continued to bath her brow with the cool cloth. " How much longer?" She whined.
Seika smiled. " Well I was about to tell Trunks that everything is going well and you seem to be having contractions at a normal level now." She shook her head. "We can't be sure though, you could could have the baby in a few minutes or a few hours."
Trunks panicked at the word hours. He falls backward. " I can't do this... I just can't last that long."
Zanth looked over at Trunks. " Woah... I didn't think it was that hard..."
" This is the light part son... just wait till things really get interesting..."
Zanth looked uncertain. " It's kinda already interesting." He cocked his head. " But if you say so." He grinned.
Trunks was shaking his head while he spread out on the floor. " It's too much, I need my mother." He sniffed.
Ukyo's eyes flashed. " Trunks, stop being a baby!" She raised her fist threateningly. " Get over here and give me your hand or else."
Tears came to Trunks eyes. " Do I have to?" He sniffed, looking to anyone for help.
" She's your mate, you have to help her." Keiko chided. Trunks' shoulders slumped in defeat and he slowly shuffled to Ukyo's side and held out his hand. Ukyo took it immediately and clenched as hard as she could.
" Don't you ever leave me again!" She screamed.
Trunks whimpered. " I won't! I won't!" He tried to pull back his crushed limb. Ukyo was about to scream at him again but her roar swiftly changed to a surprised groan as her stomach shifted noticeably.
" Is it time?" Jal asked worriedly.
Seika smiled. " It sure looks like it. Alright, Ukyo.. listen to me... breath and push..."
Trunks prepared himself for the worst. ' Oh boy... here it comes... breath Trunks... you can handle this...'
Ukyo's eyebrow twitched. 'You can handle this! You better stay right next to me Trunks.' She warned mentally. Ukyo nodded her head and began her breathing exercises. " In and out, in and out." She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.
Seika nodded. " That's it, just relax and let the baby out into the world." She smiled. Ukyo frowned at the swift pierce of pain slicing at her side but continued breathing through her mouth. Trunks breathed along with her.
" That's it Ukyo, just keep breathing deeply." He encouraged her. " Deeper, deeper." He chanted.
Jal laughed and moved to help Seika. " Trunks any deader and she'll pass out." She chuckled.
Trunks grinned. " Oh, that's not the point?" He joked. The painful grip on his hand focused his eyes on the sweating Ukyo.
" No that is no the point." She growled. " Ah!" She threw her head back to the pillow and lifted her back off the bed in pain.
Seika looked down. " Hey, hey! We have a little visitor coming in..." Everyone was happy to hear that. " Alright... your doing good Ukyo... your doing good... just breathe in and out... and push..."
Ukyo growled. " I am pushing! Ngh!" She pushed as hard as she could at her words, holding her breath against the pressure building up below her waist.
Seika's eyes brightened. " A little more Ukyo, your baby is almost born!" She clapped. Ukyo clenched her teeth and rode the wave of pain and pushed with all her might. Trunks' eyes rolled into his head as Ukyo squeezed his hand reflexively.
A loud wail pierced the room and everyone sighed in relief. Ukyo cried out and sobbed as she fell back and relaxed into the blankets. Seika took the tiny bundle and moved away to clean the baby. Trunks leaned in and kissed Ukyo gently on her brow. " Good job sweetie." He said softly.
Ukyo panted lightly and opened sleepy eyes. " Where's my baby?" She mumbled.
Seika comes over. " Here he is." She handed Ukyo the baby. He cooed in her arms.
Trunks smiled at his wife. " You did good Ukyo." He leaned over and kissed her on the head.
" So this is our little boy uh... so uh, what are we going to name em?"
" How about Trukyo?"
" That's a wonderful name." Seika said gently. Ukyo sighed and nodded as she watched her baby lovingly.
Trunks grinned and turned to the others. " I'm a Daddy." He said happily.
Keiko chuckled and clapped him on the shoulder. " Good job." He congratulated.
Jal nodded. " Why don't you go tell the others?" She shooed him out of the room and smiled as they heard his happy cry.
" I'm a Daddy!"
Homura was sitting outside with Kadin. Trunks comes in. " I'm a daddy!" He cheers. The two men smile.
" That's great... so when are you going through with the implanting process?" Kadin asked.
Trunks faltered. " Implanting process?" He frowned.
Kadin looked at Trunks. " I'm surprised you don't know about that... your son is a Sankanjin after all... we must have our stone's implanted into us... unlike the Kanjins... so when you going to do it?"
Trunks paled. " Uh, will it hurt him?" He asked worriedly.
Kadin laughed. " He's young, he won't remember." He waved his hand.
Trunks nodded. " Well I guess I have to talk to Ukyo about it then." He said thoughtfully.
" Do it soon." Homura said. " It's better when they're young."
Kadin rolled his eyes. " You can only do it when they're young." He said.
Keke came up beside her boyfriend. " You really should do it soon." She said.
Trunks nodded. " I'll go ask Ukyo now then." He said. Trunks walks in.
" Uh Dear... i just found out about the implanting process... so what do you think? Do you think its a good idea to do it now?"
Ukyo agreed. " Yes... we have too."
Jal and Seika nodded. " I think that would be a wonderful idea." Seika said.
Jal agreed. " Would you like us to complete the process?" She offered.
Ukyo and Trunks nodded. " I wouldn't trust anyone else." Ukyo said truthfully.
Jal grinned at the trust Ukyo held in them. "We'll be careful with your son." She promised. She looked down at the tiny baby in her arms. Trukyo had his father's coloring with his curly baby lavender hair, though it was slightly streaked with red. He yawned and opened his eyes a tiny bit, observing her with bright green eyes similar to his mother's. Seika took the baby boy from Jal's arms. "Okay baby Trukyo, let's do this."
Jal took out a yellow stone. She put it in a 'gun' She placed it on the baby's forehead and she pulled the trigger. The yellow stone appeared in the boy's head. He cried loudly. And soon he fell back asleep. Seika walked back over to Trunks and Ukyo. " Alright its all done..."
Trunks blinked. " That's it?" He asked in surprise.
Seika laughed. " What did you expect?" She wondered.
Trunks flushed. " Well I don't know, something more bloody I guess." He rubbed his head ruefully.
Jal shook her head. " Men and violence." She chuckled.
Ukyo smiled weakly and yawned. " Why don't you show him to the others?" She told Trunks.
Trunks perked up. " Really?" He asked excitedly.
Ukyo chuckled. "Yes, I want my sister to see her nephew." She said.
Keiko grabbed Trunks arm and laughed. " Why don't I help you over there." He said. Trunks nodded as he carried the sleeping bundle in his arms back outside.
All of others were so amazed at the beautiful baby that was just born. Keke smiled. " He's so cute." She stared at him for a moment. " You know Trunks you will have to show your father sooner or later."
Trunks sighed. " Yeah I know!" He rocked his son gently. " But luckily my mom will be there." He chuckled.
Zanth reached out and lightly touched the tiny baby. " He's so tiny." He breathed.
Trunks smiled. "You want to hold him?" He asked.
Zanth's eyes widened. " Can I really?"
Trunks nodded and gently placed the baby in the boy's arms. "Watch the head." Homura warned.
Zanth did and looked on in amazement. " He looks like you Trunks." He smiled.
" Yeah... I guess he does doesn't he..." Trunks yawned. " Man I'm wiped out an I didn't do anything... Well i guess we better be hitting the sack... we have a long day ahead of us."
Keke laughed. " Especially you." She smiled.
Trunks lifted Trukyo from Zanth's arms. " What do you mean?" He asked curiously.
Kadin hugged Keke close to his side. " You're a father now Trunks, your life belongs to your child." He laughed.
Trunks face paled. " It can't be that hard can it?" He asked in panic.
Homura held up his hands. " Don't ask me." He sighed. "I wasn't there for my child's birth." He said sadly.
" That goes for me too." Aden said.
Trunks deflated. " I'm sure it can't be that hard." He persisted. So the new father took his son to bed with him and soon all there of them were off to bed and he would soon learn to tortures of being a father.
