( Karins pov)

I smiled as I watched my husband working beside me. He had been trying to finish his current case before the due date arrived.

It seemed like years since the Kira case ended, but it has only been 9 months. These past few months have been quite busy for L and I.

As soon as we got confirmation of my pregnancy, L proposed and we had a small, quiet wedding here at Wammys. Akimi was my maid of honor, and Kiro was Ls best man.

As soon as the wedding was over we began preparing for the baby, which we found out was going to be a girl. L is so excited. In just a couple of weeks we would be seeing our daughter for the first time. I wondered who she would look like more?

I stood up, walking to the bathroom. I felt strange, but I have no idea why. L looked up watching me as I closed the door behind me.

I stared at the mirror for a moment trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I at least hoped that the baby was ok.

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and it took every ounce of control I had not to scream. My eyes widened as I felt the rush of water. I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm as I worked on a plan.

First I had to tell my husband. Then we had to get the doctor Watari has on call for me. He will take it from there.

I stifled a groan as I felt another sharp pain. I walked over to the door, and opened it, immediately seeing Ls concerned gaze.

"Get the doctor. My water just broke." Was all I could say as I tried to ignore the pain. He nodded, helping me get to the bed before opening his cell.

I had watched Karin as she stumbled into the bathroom. I could tell something was wrong. She looks like she is in pain. Is it possible that our daughter wants to meet us a little early?

I got up, standing by the door in case my wife needed me.

I realized that I was correct when she came out of the bathroom, telling me to call the doctor. I helped her into bed before I opened my cell phone.

It only took a few minutes for the doctor and two nurses to enter the room with Akimi. It had been decided that Akimi would help with the birth because I would be too nervous to do anything.

I hate seeing her in pain, and watching her would drive me crazy. I walked out and was relieved to see Kiro and Watari waiting for me.

The three of us walked to Wataris office, where he already had cake and coffee ready. I nodded in thanks before making the coffee the way I liked it. Watari asked what steps had been taken to keep the children from hearing the screams that were likely to happen.

Kiro told us that he had placed barriers in the hall to keep the children from trying to go near the room, and Akimi had placed a sound barrier on the whole room.

We just talked about random things while we waited for news. We talked about old missions they had been on, either as a team with Karin, or just him and Akimi. We talked about old cases Karin and I had taken on. Kiro reminisced about the chunin exams they had taken so long ago.

He told us about the first exam, a written test that they realized that they were supposed to cheat in order to pass. He talked about the second exam and how there were too many teams that had made it, and that they had to use one on one battles to decide on who would end up in the third exam.

It seemed like the birth was taking forever when Akimi entered the room at last. In reality it had been 7 hours.

I stood up the second she came in. Akimi grinned.

"Karin and the baby are fine. They are waiting for you." She told me. I nodded and turned to see Watari smiling as he told me to go.

I calmly walked to the stairs before I ran to our room. The doctor opened the door and smiled as he allowed me in.

I smiled as I saw my beautiful wife holding a small pink bundle. She looked up with a tired look in her eyes as I closed the bedroom door.

"Come and meet your daughter." She smiled. We decided to name her Audrey.

Audrey Lawliet, born on August 3 2007.

The little girl had dark messy hair like mine, but she had her mothers eyes, and her fair skin.

"Shes beautiful." I whispered as Karin handed her to me.

My life was finally complete. I had my wife and daughter by my side and nothing will ever take them from me.
