That night my precious little bunny was taken away from me. The nurses told me to get some rest and that she would be in my arms again soon. Despite what they said, sleep was not an option. Both usagi and i where going to wait for her. A bit of anxiety grew in my chest for the first few minutes. The room was quiet and she wasn't there. But like usual, usagi was there for me. He held my hand tightly as a rebound of reassurance.

"She'll be fine."

"I-i know."

"Misaki...your brows are furrowed. Relax a little."

"I can't."

Usagi sighed and got up from his chair. His big hand swept away my messy hair and placed gentle kisses on my face. He did quite a few then ended with a kiss on the lips. I looked into his eyes. For a moment, i wasn't thinking about her. Instead, my mind flowed with thought of how much love i had for usagi. Of how he loves me just as much, if not more. That i was so happy that it was him and no one else that i married. For just that moment, i was in an early love again. And it put a smile on my face. Usagi grinned.

"Your smiling."

"Thank you, usagi. For everything. I love you."

"And i love you."

Another kiss on the lips with lingering love before usagi sat back down and opened a book.

"Now rest your eyes. I'll wake you up when the doctor shows up."

"Fine."

I sighed and wiggled down into my blanket before closing my eyes. And almost as if i was induced with gas, i was out. I must have been tired because the next thing i knew, usagi was waking me up.

"Misaki, wake up the doctor is here."

"Mmmhn, what? Oh!"

I quickly sat up and looked to the doctor who stood in the doorway patiently.

"How is she?"

The doctor didn't smile. In fact he showed almost no emotion.

"She did well for her surgery. We were able to remove the skin that prevented her from moving her eyelids. However, her eyes themselves...are not fully developed. Her chances of being able to see well in the future is very low. As of right now. The most i would guess that she could see is color and shapes. Most children her age are able to see this. But she most likely will not grow better eyesight like the other children do. You will see what i mean when you see her. Her irises are milky and dull. She followed my bright light but nothing else. She can barely see.

Usagi spoke up.

"Is there any chance we can fix her eyes?"

The doctor sighed.

"As of right now...i think we should wait and examine her eyes as she grows. If they get worse, or start to cause her pain, then we may have to do something earlier."

Both usagi and i nodded in union. Somehow this wasn't such horrible news. The fact that she didn't have to have anything else done to her, and that she could grow up with us was enough. She may not be able to see well, but i was sure that wouldn't stop her from much.

"Where is she?"

The doctor smiled for the first time.

"She is in recovery. She will be brought back here as soon as i shout to the nurses."

"Thank you for everything doctor."

"no problem. Take good care of her."

With that he paged his nurse.

"She will be up in a few minutes. Take care."

The doctor left and peace fell over the room. She was okay and that was all i needed to hear. Of course a little bit of me felt guilty. I could have been the cause of her lack of eyesight. That fall could have damaged anything. But right now, that thought was in the back of my mind. Right now, i was just happy that she was alive and i would be able to bring her home soon.

"Misaki...are you okay?"

I had realised that despite being happy. Tears were flowing down my cheeks. I wiped away the tears.

"Im fine. Im happy. It's just that...when he said that we can watch her grow up...i felt so relieved. I know what it means for her to be partially blind… but i just can't help but feel happy."

Usagi smiled.

"I know what you mean. Like everything will be fine even with the new hardship. I have a feeling that she will be more than capable of living a normal life. Right misaki?"

I nodded. That was exactly right. She is already so strong and stubborn. I had no doubt in my mind that she would be fine.

"Knock knock! Guess whos here!"

The nurse playfully called as she rolled in my baby.

"Oh! There's my little snow bunny. How is she?"

The nurse smiled and handed the wrapped baby to me.

" she's doing wonderful. They had her on a light anesthetic level so she recovered very well. She may have her eyes closed like usual but that's probably out of habit. The morning nurse will put drops in her eyes in the morning. Have a good night."

The nurse left and i looked down to my little girl. Her eyes were a little red and puffy but she was awake and wiggling under her blanket.

"Hey snow bunny. Im sorry baby. Did they do mean things to you? You wanna open your eyes for daddy and papa or do they hurt?"

Chiyo began to fuss a little. It seemed like she didn't want to be wrapped up. I gently unwrapped her and held her in my arms. She calmed down a little as she grabbed onto my gown.

"It looks like shes tired. I'll let you two sleep. I better get home to the boys."

Usagi got up and kissed me then her.

"I'll see you and the boys tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night. Sleep well."

With that usagi left. Now it was just me and chiyo. Chiyo had already fallen asleep. I kissed her on the forehead and laid her down in the bed. Tomorrow was another day closer to taking her home but for now i could rest easy knowing that she was alive and well sleeping soundly next to me.

"Good night little snow bunny. Lets see those beautiful eyes tomorrow okay?"

Chiyo brought her thumb to her mouth and i smiled. Watching her sleep eventually had me drifting off as well.

Into dreams of her future and stories to come.
