AN: Hey everyone! Sorry, it took me so long to update, I had a lot to do and go some many places that I didn't have time to write. So here's the next chapter of "A Midsummer's Story." And thank you everyone who reviewed!
It was a day like any other for Tohru Sohma, except one little itty bitty thing.
Tohru is found next to the bathroom toilet, puking, with the phone on speaker. She was talking to her best friend Kagura. And this is pretty much how the conversation went:
"Why must we have morning sickness! Haven't I suffered enough?"
"Not really."
"You should shut up. I was there for you when you had it too!"
"Really? Because I thought that was the receptionist always answering?"
"Yeah, and I got like 50 messages from you! She said she never wants to hear you call again!"
"Well then I'm going to make a lovely appointment with you for Annabelle and MJ!"
They both laugh, until Tohru has to lower her head towards the toilet to spew.
"I must say, where is your lovely Prince Charming to come to your rescue?"
"It's called work, maybe you should get back to it!"
"Good timing, one of the new girls just said she screwed something up at the shop. I'll see you and Kyo tonight, Annabelle is really excited!"
"Yeah ok, I'll see you guys there."
Tohru and Kagura both hang up, and Tohru's case, throw up as well.
Kagura, Tohru and Koji were driving to watch Kyo at the club he worked at. They were planning to head over to Kagura's after the show. They were all enjoying themselves until Koji's phone went off.
"Sorry you two," Said Koji, "I have to go and fix something at the office. I'll meet you guys at the house."
Tohru and Kagura both nodded, and Koji left.
"So Tohru," said Kagura, "you must be so excited! I mean, the baby's due in like, a couple of weeks right?"
Tohru smiled and replied, "Of course I a….." Tohru showed a look of pain and grasped the table with one hand, and the other held her bugling stomach.
Kagura looked alarmed, "Tohru are you ok? You look so…."
Tohru grabbed her arm and said with a look of sudden fatigue, "The baby." And she fainted right on the spot.
Kagura's eyes expanded to the size of plates. "OMG, TOHRU!" Her voice echoed throughout the whole club and silenced everyone.
Kyo heard Tohru's name and jumped off the stage and to Tohru.
Kyo was as scared as Kagura. Kagura told someone to call the ambulance.
Kyo grabbed Tohru's hand, "Everything's going to be alright, I promise."
Kagura, Kyo and Koji who got back from work, were all waiting impatiently for the answers to Tohru's condition at the hospital.
Kyo never liked the hospital very much, ever since he was little.
FLASHBACK
A 4-year-old Kyo Sohma had to go and visit his Shishou's sister.
"She is very lonely, and she would really like for us to visit," said Shishou. Kyo sighed as they entered the room. A woman in her early 30's probably, with light brown hair and kind gray eyes, saw them and smiled warmly. "Hello there cutie!" she said, giving Kyo a hug when he was close enough. She then turned to Shishou and said, "And hello to you handsome!" They hugged and started talking about everything.
Kyo sighed. Then he noticed someone on a rolling bed pass by. He followed it and saw that it went into a room. He was full of curiosity that he decided to go in. But he didn't know that the sign above the door said, "Emergency Room."
Kyo looked around for the man on the mobile bed. He saw a window and went to it to find a way to outside. But instead, he saw the man, on a bed that couldn't move, cut open and his guts showing everywhere. Kyo's eyes widen and the last thing he remembered was someone with a mask and coat, take out a bean shaped ball of the man's opened belly.
END FLASHBACK
Finally a man, maybe in his late 40's with some gray hairs showing, glasses and wearing khakis a doctor's coat came out and addressed them.
"Good evening," said the doctor. "My name is Dr.Hoshi. My patient, Miss Tohru, seems to have a predicament."
"What do you mean, is she ok!" asked an alarmed Kagura.
"I'm afraid not," replied Dr. Hoshi, taking off his glasses and putting them in his coat pocket. "We're afraid that we must perform a C-section on her. It will save the baby, but Tohru's very life may be in danger."
