Chapter XI
Here it is the last chapter…Chapter 11. I noticed that this story was a lot more mellow then the one before but I think it turned out really well if I my say so myself. I'm not sure I am going to be able to continue this in another story, but if you want I can try. The plot will probably be something like Yuki trying to take Tohru from Kyo…or whatever. You probably wouldn't be interested. So here I go.
The next two months after the hospital incident had gone by rather quickly and relatively well. Of course there was the 'occasional' constant phone call from Shigure to 'check up on his flower', since he and Ayame were banned from visiting her. However, everyone else was allowed to visit, whether Kyo liked it or not.
Hatori would stop by once a week to give her a check up. Kisa would come over on the weekends, dragging Hiro along, to tell Tohru about school and whatever was going on. Yuki would visit with flowers, sometimes withHaru, though not by choice. And Momiji would make sure to bring over food and games any time he could. Kyo rarely had a moment to spend time alone with his wife, but then again Tohru hasn't had a chance to worry over anyone.
"Kyo…Kyo!" It was early Tuesday evening, Kyo and Tohru were washing the dishes; Tohru refused to sit around all day, and the dishes was one of the few things Kyo would let her do. "Kyo my water just broke."
Kyo stood with a dumbfounded look on his face for a while. She's coming…she's finally coming. My baby girl… Tohru called his name again, snapping him out of his thoughts. He ran to the phone to call Hatori. For some reason he couldn't remember his number, or anyone else's for that matter.
"Damn it!" Kyo yelled at the phone, as if it was the phones fault for his forgetfulness. Tohru had slowly followed him, and dialed the number for him.
"Hello." Hatori answered after the second ring.
"Her water broke! Hatori what do I do! Hatori…" Kyo shouted into the receiver.
"First, take a deep breath…" Kyo did as he was told. "Now wait calmly with Tohru. I will be there in five minutes."
"B-b-but, how am I supposed to do that!" Kyo worked up again.
"Kyo…stay calm for Tohru's sake and I will be there as soon as possible."
"How…" Hatori hung up before he could get the next question out.
"Kyo!" Tohru gripped his arm as a contraction hit. He helped her to the couch and held her hand, softly rubbing her back to keep her calm. This isn't that hard. I can do calm. Another contraction hit and Tohru squeezed his hand, and his thoughts changed. Ow! Ow! Ow! It…hurts! Ow! DAMN!
Luckily for Kyo there was a quick rap at the door. He jumped up and ran to open the door.
"Let's go." He walked past Kyo and helped Tohru up from the couch. Kyo grabbed the overnight bags and held the door for them. On the ride over to the hospital Kyo sat in the back with Tohru while Hatori drove. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he got a call on his cell.
"I can't talk now…because I am busy…On my way to the hospital." He looked into the rear view mirror at the couple in the back seat and abruptly shut the phone; shook his head and concentrated on driving.
Yuki ran into Momiji outside of the hospital.
"So you heard?" Momiji asked, slowing down enough for Yuki to catch up. Yuki nodded. "Did Ayame tell you?" Yuki stopped in his tracks.
"Ayame knows?" Damn.
"He is the one that spread the word…How did you know then?"
"Haru told me."
"It was Ayame that told me." Haru appeared behind the two, making them jump.
All three started of to the maternity ward together, most of the Sohmas were already their. Kagura, Kisa, Hiro, Kazuma, and Ritsu, along with Uo and Hana were sitting in a corner of the room.
"Run Aya! I think she is mad!" There was a quick pat of feet coming up from behind Yuki. He squeezed his eyes tight and braced himself, afraid what his brother and Shigure had done. Haru and Momiji moved over to the rest of the family. Shigure and Ayame ran right into Yuki and all three went sprawling into maternity ward followed by two security guards with scowls on their faces and night sticks in their hands.
"What did you to do now!" Yuki snapped angrily, rubbing the fresh bump on his forehead.
"Nothing…" They said simultaneously.
"Do you know these two?" One of the security guards asked roughly. Haru, Momiji, Yuki and everyone else shook their heads.
"They do too! This one is my little brother…see." Ayame held Yuki's head as close to his own as possible, with Yuki trying to push him away. "Hold still Yuki...Stop pushing. Ow!" After forcefully removing his brother from himself, Yuki stood up and brushed off his clothes.
"What's the ruckus over here!" A boom voice rumbled over Shigure and Ayame's whines. "Get up off the floor and be quiet we are in a hospital!" A hefty, gruff looking nurse stood over them with a clip board in one hand and a bed pan in the other.
"I apologize for them, ma'am." Yuki bowed to her politely.
"But she is being louder then we are." Ayame complained. The nurse growled, and the two shut their mouths.
"Once again I apologize." Yuki bowed again and shooting a warning glare at the two men still sitting on the floor. She looked over the three of them again, and then strutted off.
"We she was louder then us, right?" Ayame asked while getting up; Shigure nodded. A bed pan came flying in their direction and both men had to hit the floor again to keep from being hit. Yuki sighed and walked over to the other Sohmas, who were doing a great job of ignoring the scene as soon and the nurse had come over.
Ayame and Shigure got to their feet again; Momiji and Haru shook their heads again.
"Can't they start acting more their age?" Momiji asked.
"No…And it's not like you can talk." Haru shrugged at him.
Hatori came through a door to be met with many people and questions.
"How is sissy doing?"
"Is the princess ok?"
"Did that stupid woman have the baby yet?"
"Is everything alright with Miss Tohru and the baby?"
"Is the baby here yet?"
"Are they all ok?"
"Calm down everyone, everything is fine. She hasn't had the baby yet so have a seat."
Ow! Ow! Damn it! Ow! Is it over yet! …If she is squeezing my hand this hard she must be in a lot of pain… SHIT! Ow! Why does having a baby have to hurt so much…. Can't they give fathers pain medic…OWWWWWW! Damn contractions.
"Ok, Tohru…push!" The female doctor and nurses were grouped around the bottom of the bed, while Kyo was near Tohru's head, holding her hand.
Jeez! This shit hurts!... What does she mean push! Ow! OW!... Why isn't it over yet? I mean how long does it take to push out a baby!.. Agh! The pain! I'm sorry! Promise I won't let her go through this again…! Ow! I'll force her to take the meds…! PUSH AGAIN! IS SHE CRAZY! We were almost their 5 pushes ago!.. Finally, the squeezing stopped. But I can't feel my hand! Why can't I feel my hand!
"Kyo! Kyo we did it! Look!" Kyo looked up from his hand. that was slowly staring to throb. Tohru was smiling at him, looking a little worn out with her hair pasted to her face with sweat. Kyo picked up the bucket of fresh water and a small towel from the side of the bed. He sat on the bed nest to her and wiped her face and neck, while she rested her head against his shoulder.
"Hear you go a perfectly healthy baby girl." A young nurse gently handed the baby to Tohru. "So what's her name?" Tohru and Kyo smiled at her.
"I'm looking for the Sohma family." A large group of people in the corner quickly stood, causing the nurse to jump. "Um…I'm not sure all of you can come in. It's against the rules."
"Oh, but Nurse, it is a beautiful thing to see a new born with the whole family. I mean, I'm sure a beautiful little thing like you couldn't get in to trouble for breaking a few rules." Shigure wooed her.
"Well, I'm sure it would be ok this one time." She giggled, so did Ayame.
"How sneaky and underhanded of you; I liked it." Ayame whispered to him while they were being lead down the hall.
"Isn't she beautiful, Kyo?" Kyo nodded, smiling down at his daughter, who was now in his arms.
"And she's so small and soft…and warm." Kyo loved the feel of the little body in his arms.
"And she has your eyes." Tohru added rubbing baby's palm with her finger. It curled around the finger into a fist. Tohru and Kyo giggled.
"She is going be beautiful, just like you." Kyo took his eyes off his child only to stare into Tohru's. He leaned toward her and lightly kissed Tohru's lips.
"Kyo, you just had a child! This is not the time to be working on another one." Shigure walked into the room.
"And he shouldn't be doing it in front of the baby." Ayame followed. As did Yuki, Haru, Momiji, Kagura, Kisa, Hiro, Kazuma, Uo, and Hana.
"The perv has point Orange Top. Concentrate on raising the first kid before you work on getting the next." Uo grinned.
"Or at least wait till Tohru is out of the hospital." Haru corrected. Kyo growled at them but nothing more. Tohru blushed and smiled.
"Why are all of you in here? There is a limit to the amount of visitors they can have at one time." Hatori appeared in the door behind the group.
"Bet we all wanted to see the baby." Ayame pouted.
"By the way what is her name?" Momiji asked.
"We named her Kira." Kyo said with a smile, which was a bit odd for him.
"Kira means 'sunlight'. I read it in the baby names book Shigure bought." Tohru explained.
"Kira…Kira Sohma…I like it Miss Tohru." Everyone was bending over the bed watching the now sleeping Kira Sohma. The child with crimson eyes and light brown hair; the beautiful little new addition to the Sohma family that was brought by love…into love.
"Shigure," Kyo whipped his head to face the mischievous dog. "You stay away from her or I'll kill you."
"He's got a point perv. I'll kill ya to." Uo threatened. Shigure pouted and Tohru, Kisa, and Kagura giggled. Hana and the rest of the men nodded, even Ayame. Little Kira started to wail, and everyone got quiet.
"Looks like you have a lot on your hand right now so well be going." Hatori ushered everyone out of the hospital room.
"I think she'll grow up well." Kagura told Momiji.
"I think she'll grow up well loved." Momiji replied.
Ok, I know that this isn't much of an ending, but I can't think of another way to finish it. And if I don't finish it now I won't be able to ever. Thank you all for reading and reviewing my story. I am really grateful for you all. I am going to do an explanation chapter later so if you have any questions feel free to ask them.
Your relieved writer,
