Finally, the day had come and Second was in the hospital. Vector sat in the waiting room and found himself constantly watching the clock. Was he really that worried about her? He knew he shouldn't be, but something still made him feel uneasy.

But before he could fret some more, a doctor was standing in front of him.

"Are you Vector?" he asked.

Vector nodded.

"Alright, Second is ready for visitors." And with those words Vector immediately got to his feet and rushed to her room.

Second was sitting up in bed, and smiled at him when he came in.

He could tell she was tired, just by the look in her eyes, and that her hair was a mess.

"Good to see you stayed, I was almost worried that you'd leave me," she said laughing a little.

"I thought you'd know me better than that by now." He took a seat next to her.

"I know, I was just joking, but I'm still happy to see you." She held his hand.

"So, did it go alright?" he asked.

"Well, it hurt, kind of like when I was stabbed. But that pain didn't last long; this pain just kept going and going. I never realized humans could withstand pain like that."

"Yeah, they can go through a lot."

"Mhm – oh, did you call them?" she asked.

"I did after I got here. I called Third and Fourth, and I got ahold of Yuma too."

"Good, good. They should be here soon then." She smiled.

A few minutes later she saw Third peek into the room.

"Hello? Is Second in here?"

"I am, come in," she said while waving to him. He walked in with Dark following close behind.

"Good, I was right." He sat down to her other side. "So are you feeling alright?"

"Oh yes I'm fine, honestly I don't even need half the stuff they're giving me. I could probably get out of here by tomorrow."

"That's wonderful!" He patted her hand. "I'm glad everything went well for you."

Then the rest came in soon after.

"Second are you okay? Are you still feeling any pain? Do I have to kill Vector?" Fourth asked the moment she walked in.

"I want to see the baby!" First exclaimed.

"Calm down calm down." Second laughed a little. "I'm fine, Fourth, and you'll be able to see him soon, First."

"Yay!" First cheered. Fourth simply glared at Vector and then moved away.

"Oh, so it's a boy?" Yuma asked.

She nodded. "Yeah, I can't wait to hold him again," she said dreamly.

A nurse knocked on the door and Second looked up.

"Are you ready for him?" she asked.

"Oh yes, let me hold him," she said while holding her hands out. The baby was gently laid in her arms and Second looked down at him with a warm smile. The fact that this child was hers and Vectors was something she couldn't wrap her mind around.

"Hello dear, everyone's here to see you," she whispered quietly.

First leaned over the bed and looked at the baby in awe.

"He's so small, and he looks like you, Second." The baby opened his eyes and looked at him. "Oh, now he looks like Vector."

Fourth looked over and sighed. "Poor kid. having to share an appearance with him."

"You don't have to be so mean," Yuma said.

She just rolled her eyes.

"I guess...at least he looks like her too."

"That's better." Yuma turned back to Second. "He's very cute. Did you name him yet?"

She shook her head.

"Not yet actually. What do you think Vector? Do you have a name in mind?"

"No, sorry, I haven't really thought of one."

"It's fine," She giggled. "How about Michio?"

"That sounds good," he said. "Though, any reason why that one?"

"No not really, it just sounds cute." She gently kissed her son's head. "Hello my little Michio."


Second went home the next day with Michio in her arms.

"He can sleep in our room for now, how does that sound?" she asked Vector while she was feeding her son.

Vector shrugged. "Sounds fine I guess."

And that night Vector learned just how much babies cried. He wrapped a pillow around his head once Michio began crying and felt Second get up from bed. Slowly the baby's cries settled down as Second held and soothed him. Vector desperately tried to fall back to sleep after that.

He must have knocked out completely because the next thing he knew it was morning and Second was already up. When he walked downstairs he found her sitting on the couch, rocking Michio to sleep.

"So how was your night?" he asked jokingly.

"Really funny," she said, yawning. "At one point he woke up crying again and it was so close to morning that I just decided that sleeping again would be pointless."

"I could guess."

"I was also being nice to you, letting you sleep while I took care of Michio. But since you're up now I think I'll put him back to bed and nap a little myself."

"You do that." He kissed her forehead. "If I hear him cry I'll try to help, if you don't wake up from it first that is."

"Thanks, dear."

It continued like that for weeks. At one point Vector must have gotten used to the noise because he found himself only waking up a few times. But at the same time he noticed how tired Second was during the day. He wanted to help, but at the same time she always managed to beat him to it.

One night however, he was woken up by Michio's crying, and Second was still sound asleep. He groaned and got out of bed. He went over to his son's crib and gently picked him up.

"You sure do make a lot of noise, don't you?" he mumbled as he rocked him in his arms.

Michio looked up at his father's face and his crying began to subside.

"Much better now."

Slowly, Michio began falling back to sleep, making Vector feel proud of himself for successfully calming him down.

"Good job, dear, " a sudden voice spoke. He turned around and saw Second sitting up while rubbing her eyes.

"I tried, " he said with a tired grin, putting Michio back in his crib. He climbed back into bed and felt Second wrap her arms around him.

"Look at you, acting how a father would."

"I just wanted to stop the crying."

"I know, but it was still cute seeing you like that." Gently, she kissed his lips.

"I just wanted you to rest a little more too." He kissed her back. "Now let's try to get some sleep before he wakes up again."
