Disclaimer: I don't Hot Gimmick… tough beanie weenies!

Okay So I'm updating for a certain fan that said that she'd cry if I didn't. So I am now.

Ryoki sat next to the bed that Hatsumi was lying in caught in a deep sleep. He really couldn't fathom any ideas why his love was having issues. Or at least he didn't want to think it about.

The doctor said that her premature labor was triggered by her huge amount of stress. They were thankfully able to stop the labor, and mother and child were stable. There are five months left, and it would've been horrible if the little life that they made died.

The doctor instructed that Hatsumi stay on bed rest until delivery. She was aloud to go out to a park, but any strenuous activities were forbidden, including sex. Poor Ryoki…

As time went by, Hatsumi was left alone at the Tachibana home, reading, and watching TV. She on occasions would go out on evening walks with Ryoki or Akane. She was so fragile that she found herself sleeping a lot.

One evening, Hatsumi was left on her own; Mariko (I think that's the maid's name.) was in the kitchen preparing food. Ms. Tachibana had a conference to attend to, and Ryoki was at cram school.

As she sat on the couch watching evening drama, she was quite aware of the little tap dance in her stomach. When Mariko brought her dinner, she politely asked if she could put it in the fridge. With all the kicking, and Braxton hicks contractions, she couldn't even think of eating.

When the clock struck 10pm, Hatsumi began to feel even more uncomfortable. She heaved herself up from the couch, and began to walk towards the bathroom when a sharp pain hit her. She fell to her knees, as a contraction hit hard. She felt water around her, and noticed that it was coming from her. The only thing she could think of doing was scream.

Mariko ran in and tried to help Hatsumi calm down. She then ran and called an ambulance to come and pick up Hatsumi, and then called down to Akane to help comfort her.

"Hatsumi what is it?" Akane asked as she ran up and saw her sister on the floor.

"I'm in labor." She said between pants.

"Oh god! Where's Ryoki?" Akane asked.

"Cram School."

"Well call an ambulance." Akane said.

"Uh I already have. They're on their way." Mariko said.

"I want it to stop." Hatsumi said.

When the ambulance came they took her immediately to the hospital. Akane took the responsibility to go call Ryoki. When she finally got him to answer the cell, she screamed into the phone. "Oh my fucking gawd Ryoki! Don't you know that you should answer the cell now a days! God, come to the hospital immediately. Hatsumi is in labor."

Without even answering back he hung up and ran out of cram school. When he got to the hospital and spotted Akane, he demanded that she lead him to where his girlfriend was.

When he entered the room, he saw Hatsumi hooked up to an IV and monitors, Mariko by her side, wiping her brow. He ran over to the other side of the bed and grasped her hand.

"I'm here now. How are you?" he asked stupidly.

"How do I look!" She asked on a grunt.

When the doctor came in, he ran over to him and demanded that he relieve Hatsumi's pain.

"I can't sir. She's way too far in labor for us to risk giving her any painkillers. It will put the baby at risk."

"Then when will she be able to deliver?"

"She's at 8cm right now, two more to go until she'll be able to push."

Two hours later Ryoki and Hatsumi were in the delivery room. Ryoki had to suck it up and put up with the severe pain of her grip. She was panting and sweating as she pushed with determination.

"One more push Hatsumi."

"Fine." She grunted out.

The room went silent, and Hatsumi felt that unbearable pressure from between her legs leave. She heard the doctor suction the baby's mouth and nose, but still no noise.

"He's not crying." She said.

"What's wrong!" Ryoki demanded.

Then out of the blue a gusty wail came out of the baby, and then taken by a nurse, he was cleaned off.

Later that evening, Ms. Tachibana came rushing in, and stopped dead when she saw her son and Hatsumi sharing a bed, a beautiful pink baby cradled in her arms.

"My dears." She said softly as she approached the bed.

"Would you like to hold your grandson?" Hatsumi asked?

Ms. Tachibana nodded as she gently took the baby into her arms.

"His name is Kazuki Mokoto Tachibana." Ryoki said as she gazed down lovingly at Hatsumi. "You should have been there mother. She was amazing in the delivery room."

"He's just being nice. I accidentally broke his left hand. The pain was so horrible." She said with a glowing smile on her face as she watched Ms. Tachibana rock the baby back and forth.

"It's time for the first breast feeding." The nurse said as she took the baby from Ms. Tachibana. She handed him over to Hatsumi who did as the nurse said and positioned him by her breast. He latched on and a giggle game out of her mouth. "It tickles." She said.

That evening was calm and Ryoki and Hatsumi cuddled in the bed, and on occasion Kazuki was brought in for some milk.

Early that morning, when Hatsumi was nursing, with Ryoki sleeping soundly by her side, the last person that she wanted to see entered her room.

"Hello Hatsumi."

A/N: Cliffhanger. Suckaz. But whatever. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm sorry that I don't update often but I have to type at home and then upload it on a school computer. And I am a junior in High School, so my workload is kinda intense. But I hope you're content. Now two more stories to type up.

Love you!
