My daughter, Chiyo, was born early the next morning. My pains continued on through the night. Chiyo was a beautiful girl. But there was another depth to my sorrow. Chiyo's heart was barely beating and her breath was faint. I was still bleeding inside badly. The nurses began to silently worry. The main nurse walked over to me with my daughter in her arms. Her face was pale. "Haruno-san," she spoke up. "We will examination your daughter to try and save her." I was too weak to move. I had lost so much blood. I felt sick. My hopes for a better were fading away. Was I doomed to suffer for eternity? No! Chiyo had to survive and so did I! We had to!
"I don't care what happens to me!" I cried out. "Just save my Chiyo!" The nurse toughened up. "We will do our best!" she declared. "In the mean time, you stay down. You aren't in any conditional to move. You'll only make the bleeding worse if you do." I managed to give her a weak smile. Then the nurse took little Chiyo away to save her life. The nurse pushed down onto my stomach very hard to try and stop the bleeding.
Naruto-kun traveled back and forth to give me updates on my daughter's health. "They have Chiyo on life support." he told me. "She has problems with her heart. It's too weak." All I could do was lay their weak and pale. My own little happiness was slipping away and I was helpless to do anything about it. Naruto-kun saw the cheerless look on my face. "The doctors are considering on performing heart surgery on her." he spoke up. "Really?" I asked as my lips trembling. "It's risky," Naruto-kun bravely pushed on. "But it's worth a shot to spare Chiyo's little life." I suddenly had a small burst of hope again. "I let them do it," I pleaded out. "Anything to save my daughter's life!" Naruto-kun lightly shushed me and I clamed down again. "Easy now," one of the nurses said. "Don't move so much or the bleeding will be worse than it is already." I let my body go still. I had to try and still alive as hard as I could. Chiyo needed me now. She needed both her mother and her father. It was our mission to live and survive. "Chiyo has little dark pink hairs on her head," he went on. "Chiyo is a lovely name for her. It fits her perfectly. I think she's going to be a beautiful and smart girl, just like you." My eyes became light again. "Do you really think so?" I asked. Naruto-kun just nodded. Suddenly, my hope returned back just as healthy and strong as before.
Soon, I screamed out in pain. Naruto-kun panicked silently. "What's wrong Sakura-chan?" "I don't know!" I wailed out. "But the pain has gotten much worse!" The nurses moved quickly and applied more pressure to my stomach. The main nurse ran into the room. "What is going on here?" she yelled out. "The hemorrhage has gotten worse!" one of the nurses yelled. The nurse ran over to me quickly. "Just stay calm and don't move!" I began to grab onto the sheets as tightly as I could. I screamed out louder and louder. "Listen girls," the nurse called out. "Chiyo needs someone to watch over while she fights for her life! Two of you go down to the baby and stay with her! QUICKLY!" Two of them nodded and abandoned me to see to my dying little angel. The main nurse pushed both of her strong hands onto my stomach hard and the remaining nurse did the same. I screamed louder. The pressure was making to pain much worse. Naruto-kun rushed forward and pushed down on my stomach. My screams grew worse and worse.
The next few hours were the worst in my life. It made my days with Katsuya look like a heaven. My pain just kept getting worse and worse. The nurses and Naruto-kun pressing down on my stomach didn't help either. I kept screaming out. Soon, I became quiet. My memory became a blur from that point on. It is with me in small fragments however. My vision became watery and hazy. My breath became very faint. The nurses and Naruto-kun were talking to me. Their voices were so faint that I could barely hear them. Maybe it was because I was on the thin line between life and death. Right at that moment, I made myself a little promise. If Chiyo and I came out of this dark nightmare alive, I would get up and leave Katsuya for good. Naruto-kun would be the acting father to my baby. I might even marry him one day. Sorry, Katsuya. I have failed you, forgive me. Then, everything went black….
