Zeno holds the almost two year old Zeuxis in his arms and tries to ignore the fact that his mother is giving birth again. He is happy yet hysterical. He is getting another sibling.
His mind keeps telling him he should be helping his mother, yet he also has to take care of Zeuxis.
The sliding door suddenly opens and there stands his father with a bright smile on his face.
"Come greet your little sister"
Zeno's eyes widen and he smiles even brighter than before. He hoists his body up, carefully cradling Zeuxis and almost runs inside. There his mother is smiling down at a small bundle. Smaller than Zeuxis, no hair yet.
Zeno turns to his father and hands him Zeuxis who is sleeping in his arms. Zeno then turns back towards his mother and kneels beside the futon she is laying on. His eyes are focused on the small bundle where bright blue eyes blink up at him blearily.
He looks at his smiling mother who then says.
"Give her a name Zeno"
Zeno pauses. That, is a huge responsibility. This baby's name.
What she is going to be called her whole life. Ryumaki...what.. he wants something Japanese since both his and Zeuxis's names are from Greek origin. His mother is named Hinano so...
Zeno looks at their mothers determined eyes and finally comes up with one.
"Hinoe. Ryumaki Hinoe" He smiles and has never felt happier.
