Raimundo, Omi and Clay looked at Ryan as he lent in the doorway.

"Well?" said Raimundo. Ryan smiled as he slowly stood himself up.

"Guys…" said Ryan "I have a child…"

"Congratulations" said Clay "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Ryan smiled as he closed his eyes.

"It's…It's…" said Ryan. Raimundo, Omi and Clay lent forward, waiting for his answer.

"It's…" said Ryan "It's a baby…"

"A baby what?" said Raimundo "Come on, were dying of curiosity!"

Ryan smiled as he turned back towards the ward.

"Come…" said Ryan "Come see…my baby…"

Omi was first to jump to his feet and followed Ryan into the ward, Raimundo and Clay followed behind them. They looked to the left as they entered the ward and then stopped. Kimiko was sitting up in bed with a huge smile on her face as she looked down at her arms; she was cradling a small bundle of cloth in her arms.

"Kimiko?" said Raimundo "How are you?"

Kimiko looked up as she heard his voice; tears began falling from her eyes as she beamed happily.

"Hey guys…" said Kimiko in an exhausted voice. She smiled as she tightened her arms around the bundle, hugging it to her chest.

"It's good to see you're okay…" said Clay "Congratulations"

"Thank you" said Kimiko as she smiled at him. She then turned to Ryan.

"Ryan…Honey?" said Kimiko "Do you want to see our baby?"

Ryan said nothing as he nodded and stood near her, she smiled at him as she handed him the bundle. Ryan held the bundle tightly as he raised it to his chest.

"Go ahead…" said Kimiko as she lent back on her bed, sighing with exhaustion. Ryan slowly reached out and began to unwrap the bundle; he could feel the tension of the moment building up as he slowly removed the last piece of cloth. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at what was in the bundle. A tiny little head, covered in a thin layer of smooth brown hair. It had tiny little eyes that were closed, a tiny little nose and a tiny little mouth. Resting on its tiny chin was a tiny little hand with tiny little fingers.

Ryan's eyes widened as he looked at the baby, it moved slightly in its peaceful slumber, making a tiny babbling noise.

"So?" said Kimiko "What do you think of our brand new daughter?"

Ryan looked up at Kimiko as he cradled her in his arms.

"She's a girl?" said Ryan quietly. Kimiko smiled as she nodded and rested a hand on his shoulder. A smile slowly grew across his face as he looked at her again; she made a slightly louder noise in her sleep.

"She's…beautiful…" said Ryan as a tear rolled down his face, "She is the most beautiful baby in the world…And she's ours…"

Kimiko smiled as she shuffled towards him and lent her head on his, kissing his cheek. Ryan smiled as he nuzzled her head a bit and then lent down, gently kissing his new daughter gently on her head.

"Well…" sighed Kimiko "Looks like I owe you a million yen…"

"What?" said Raimundo who was slightly confused like everyone else, "Why?"

"Well…Me and Ryan made a bet" said Kimiko "I said this whole thing wasn't worth the pain of the pregnancy, but he said it was…And he was right, it was worth it so…I owe you a million yen Ryan…"

Ryan smiled as he looked at her.

"No need…" said Ryan as he indicated to the baby, "You already gave it to me…"

Kimiko smiled as she put her arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"Rai…Clay…Omi…" said Ryan as he looked at his friends, "Come here…I want you to see her…"

Raimundo and the others smiled as Ryan stood up and moved towards them. They crowded around him as they looked at the newborn baby.

"Aww, my little godchild…" cooed Raimundo "I can't believe that a person could be so tiny…"

"She's as cute as…" said Clay "As…Gosh darn it, there is nothing as cute as her…"

Ryan smiled as he knelt down so Omi can see her.

"So Omi" said Ryan "What do you think?"

Omi thought for a moment as he looked at the baby. He smiled as he looked up at him.

"I see lots of you and Kimiko in her" said Omi "I can see her doing great things"

Ryan smiled as he stood up and looked at Kimiko; she was busy wiping her eyes as tears were falling from her eyes like rivers. Ryan suddenly looked down as her head some very weak whining noises coming from his daughter. He saw that she was slowly moving her hand across her face as she yawned.

"Oh my god…" gasped Ryan "She's waking up…"

They all crowded around him as she slowly opened her eyes, Ryan's heart skipped another beat as he saw a tiny pair of blue eyes looking back at him.

"She…has your eyes Kimiko…" said Ryan as he looked at her; she sniffed as she wiped more tears from her eyes, nodding in agreement. Ryan looked down at his daughter and their eyes locked, Ryan had never felt this way in his entire life as that tiny little face looked at him with curiosity and wonder. Ryan slowly got to his feet and walked towards the window, looking out onto the Tokyo city. He stood there in silence before looking down at his daughter, talking quietly to her.

"You're a very lucky girl, you know…" said Ryan "To be born into this world…"

He smiled as he looked over at Omi.

"You got uncle Omi…" said Ryan "He's going to teach you how to be the best, he will teach you all sorts of neat stuff…"

Omi smiled as Ryan then looked at Clay.

"Then there's your uncle Clay…" said Ryan "He can tell you about all the exciting stuff that we've done, especially about the stuff we did in Texas…"

Clay smiled too as Ryan then looked at Raimundo.

"And when you get upset…Because you're going to become upset sometime…" said Ryan "Your uncle Rai can mess about and make you laugh…"

Raimundo smiled as he nodded.

"Then there's Kimiko…" said Ryan "Your extra loving mother who will care for you…Hold your hand when you're down…Then there's me…"

Ryan lowered his head as he sighed deeply.

"Your father…" said Ryan "Who would do anything to keep you safe from harm…Anything to keep you happy…"

He looked at Kimiko, who was still smiling at him with tears in her eyes.

He sighed as he looked back out the window; his daughter was still making noises in his arms.

"I wish you two could see me now…" said Ryan "You would have been so proud of me…Mum…Dad…"

He sat against the window and sighed as he looked down at his daughter.

"You were right Chase…" said Ryan "You were right dad…I will be a good father…And I will keep that promise I made about Kimiko…"

He smiled as he looked up at Kimiko, she smiled back.

"I love you Kimiko…" said Ryan.

"I love you too…" said Kimiko.

"See dad?" said Ryan as he looked back out the window, "I still love Kimiko…Just like you loved Naomi…"

Ryan stopped as he said his mother's name, he sighed as he looked long and hard at his daughter.

"Kimiko?" said Ryan as he looked back at her, "I've decided on a name…"

Kimiko thought for a moment before smiling back at him.

"I know what it is" said Kimiko "And it's okay…"

"Really?" said Ryan. Kimiko's smile got bigger as she nodded, Ryan's smile also got bigger as he looked back down at his daughter, who was reaching out to him with her tiny hand.

"Kid…" said Ryan as he let her hold his finger, "I'm naming you Naomi Young, in honour of my mother…Who I never really met…But who I miss everyday…"

His lips trembled as he watched little Naomi take his finger into her mouth and suck on it gently.

"I love you, Naomi…" said Ryan "I love you too…Mum…"

He sighed as he let a few tears fall from his eyes, before handing Naomi back to Kimiko.

"I'm so proud of you…" said Kimiko as she cradled Naomi in her arms. Ryan smiled and nodded as he wiped his eyes.

"I'm okay…" said Ryan as he sat down beside her, "Hey Kimiko? Was this what you wished for on that shoting star all though years ago?"

Kimiko smiled as she shook her head.

"Nope" said Kimiko as she smiled, "But don't worry…It will come true…"

They both smiled at each other as they lent forwards, gently kissing each other lovingly. Ryan sighed as he watched Kimiko hand Naomi to Raimundo and he though how lucky he and Kimiko were. Their life? Perfect. Their daughter? Perfect. Their future?

Perfect…

Meanwhile…

A dark hooded figure walked into the hospital, one of his eyes that were just visible from the shadows of his hood scanned the room. He silently approached the main reception and stared at the woman behind the counter.

"Err…Can I help you?" said the woman.

"Yes…" said the man in a dry and hollow voice, "Yes you can…I'm looking for two people…Who go by the names of Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Kimiko Young…"

"Hold on a sec…" said the woman as she began to type on her computer, still keeping an eye on the creepy looking man.

"Ah yes" said the woman "They are present in the hospital, Mrs. Young had just given birth to a baby girl about an hour ago…"

The woman stopped as she saw that the man was grinning evilly from under his hood.

"Err…" said the woman as she moved back slightly, "Are you…A relative?"

"Yes…" said the man "Yes I am…You could say I'm the baby girl's…Grandfather…"

"Oh" said the woman "I bet you're very pleased with the birth of your new granddaughter"

"Very pleased…" said the man "In fact…I want to see her right now…"

"Okay…" said the woman who was starting to creep out, "Would you like me to tell them that you're on your way?"

"No…" said the man as his grin got bigger, "I'd like to surprise them…Heh heh heh…"

The man chuckled as he walked towards the elevator; he got in and went up.

"Soon Ryan…" said the man as he removed his hood, "I will have my revenge on you…my son…"

He frowned as he looked at himself in the mirrors in the elevator, hating what he could see looking back at him.

"You ruined my face…and you will pay…" said the man "And your daughter…My granddaughter…will be the weakness what makes you fall…"
