Chapter 5~!

Disclaimer: I wish~

Baby

Conan took out the pill in his pocket. They have just arrived at the hospital and Ran was now in the maternity ward, waiting.

"Are you gonna take it?" Yusaku asked. Conan looked up and slowly nodded.

"H-hai," Conan said. He was really nervous. "But I don't have any clothes with me."

Yusaku nodded. "I called Agasa. He should be here with your clothes, just go into the bathroom and we will bring you the clothes. Go one, don't waste time!"

Conan nodded and ran into the bathrooms.

Maternity Ward

Ran screamed as another contraction came along.

"Almost dilated, but no quite, it'll be at least another two hours." The nurse said. Ran groaned and leaned back as the contraction ended.

Yukiko entered the room. "How are you feeling, Ran?"

Ran sighed and gave a weak smile. "I'm doing ok…"

"We called Shinichi…he should be here any minute." Yukiko said with a grin.

Ran nodded slowly. "Thank you," She looked down and sighed. She was sore at the moment from all the contractions and the labor pains. "Did you call Sonoko?"

"I quickly called Sonoko and asked her to call Kazuha-chan."

Lobby

"You're gonna be ok, just calm down." Yusaku said to his son, now back into his former self.

Shinichi nodded slowly and gulped. "I'm just…really nervous."

"We know, but we're all here for you. You're not doing this alone."

"Thanks, guys." He looked towards the maternity ward. He took a deep breath and they walked down the hall and into the room.

Maternity Ward

"Shinichi!" Ran shouted as she looked up. She climbed out of the bed and walked over to him.

He wrapped his arms around her. "Get back into the bed and take it easy. We don't want anything to happen." She nodded and turned to climb back into the bed.

"How are you holding up, Shin-chan?" Yukiko asked. He looked down and then to Ran.

"I'll be ok. I just…can't wait to see my son."

Yusaku put his hand on Shinichi's shoulder. "Soon, Shinichi."

Shinichi sighed and nodded.

"Ah!" Ran screamed as another contraction came along.

"Ran! Are you ok?" Shinichi asked in concern.

"Yes," She waited before responding. Shinichi sat down in the chair next to her.

After several minutes she turned to him. "They're just contractions." She leaned back into the bed.

"Surprise!" Sonoko shouted as she walked into the room. Ran smiled.

"Thanks for coming, Sonoko."

"No problem, Ran. You're my best friend. I couldn't let you do this without me here."

Kazuha and Heiji then walked in.

"Ran-chan!" Kazuha ran to her and gave her a hug. "Are you feeling ok?"

Ran nodded, taking a deep breath.

The nurse walked over to Ran's monitor to check the dilation.

"Ok, Ran, your contractions about ten minutes apart. I will come back in a few minutes."

Ran nodded. Shinichi rubbed her forehead. "Almost time."

"Who's gonna be in the room with her?" Eri asked.

Ran looked up at everyone. "I'm sorry everyone. I want Shinichi to be here, and only him. I think we should do this on our own."

Shinichi nodded slowly at her request.

"Kudo, can I talk to you for a second?" Heiji asked. Shinichi nodded and followed him out of the room.

"Are you doing ok?"

Shinichi looked at him. "I'm fine. I'm just really, really nervous and," he took a deep sigh. He hated to think about the situation. "I'm scared, Hattori. I don't want to admit it, and I mentioned it before. I don't know what will happen now."

Heiji nodded, listening to his friend and rival.

Shinichi sighed again. "I think, I'm gonna tell her."

"Like you being Conan Edogawa?"

Shinichi nodded. "Yeah." He snickered. "I have too. Maybe, we can move across seas, or at least move Ran and our baby over. That way I know they'll be safe."

"Kudo, I understand but I think you should go too. That way you can be safe. You would be able to live with them. Don't you think it'll be even harder on them if you died here? Your son wouldn't even know who you are."

Shinichi looked down. "I have to really think about it. As far as I know, we'll all be safe just as long as my true identity remains secret."

Heiji nodded. Yusaku stepped out of the room. "Everything ok?"

Shinichi nodded. "Yeah, is she ok?"

"So far she is fine. She had another contraction and the nurse said soon she will be dilated enough."

Shinichi nodded and stepped back into the room.

"I'm gonna have to ask everyone to leave the room now. We need to prepare." The nurse said. Everyone nodded.

"I wish you luck!" Sonoko said with a wink as she exited the room.

"You'll do fine." Eri said. Ran smiled.

"Thank you all for being here." Ran said. They all nodded and exited the room. The nurses prepared for the birth.

"Ran, there's something I need to tell you."

She turned to him. "What is it?"

He looked down. "I'll tell you afterwards," She nodded.

"Ran, here comes another contraction. You're gonna push on this one, alright?"

Shinichi gulped. Ran nodded and gripped Shinichi's hand as a pain reliever.

"And, push."

After the first few seconds, Shinichi couldn't feel his hand. Ran was covered with sweat. He couldn't even imagine the pain she was going through, the only thing he knew was that it was painful.

Ran was in so much pain and to her it felt like hours. It felt like she was it was never gonna end.

"The shoulders are out," the doctor said. There was blood and other fluids coming out. Just seconds later the doctor announced, "Congratulations, he's healthy."

Ran fell back into her bed, panting. Shinichi had a small smile on his face as he watched the nurse carry his newborn son away to get cleaned.

"Good job, Ran." Shinichi said softly.

Ran gave him a weak smile and sighed. "That was hell."

Shinichi snickered.

"Little guy, meet mommy and daddy." The nurse as she handed the newborn to his mother.

Shinichi couldn't breath or speak. He was so speechless, seeing the baby up close. Ran smiled down at the infant.

"He's so tiny," she said softly.

Shinichi turned to the nurse. "How much does he weigh?"

"He came in weighing at 5lbs and 4oz, it's slightly lighter than average but there is no main concern. He seems to be breathing alright on his own. Congratulations," the nurse said as she walked out, giving them a few moments alone.

"What should we name him?" Ran asked. Shinichi looked down at her.

"Did you have any in mind?" He asked her. She looked down at him and giggled as he wrapped his tiny hand around her index finger.

"I don't know."

"Can we name him…Conan?"

She looked at him and smiled weakly. "Conan."

Shinichi looked down. Ran sighed she didn't take her eyes off of him. "Why didn't you say anything?"

He looked back up. "W-what?"

"About Conan Edogawa being…Shinichi Kudo." She looked down at the newborn.

"You knew?"

"Yes, I know I have suspected so many times…but one time, I just had that feeling…especially at the restaurant, I definitely knew by the way you were acting and the way you followed closely to your dad."

He stepped closer. "I-,"

"I don't wanna hear it, Shinichi. Not right now. I am tired."

"Ok, I will explain tomorrow, or when ever you are up to it." He looked down at his son.

"Do you wanna hold him?" Ran asked. Shinichi slowly nodded and she gently handed him the infant.

"Hi, Conan. I'm your daddy. I'm glad you're here and in my arms. You couldn't wait another few weeks," he snickered. Conan wrapped his fingers around Shinichi's finger. "Your hand is so tiny, it barely wraps around my finger."

"Conan Edogawa Kudo." Ran said. Shinichi looked at her and then back down to Conan.

"Hai," he said with a smile.

The nurse walked back into the room. "And what's his name?"

"Conan Edogawa Kudo," Shinichi said turning to her with a smile.

"Alright, I will go copy this and then there will be no more disturbances for a few more moments." The nurse said. Shinichi handed Conan back to Ran.

"I'm gonna get the others," he said. He gave Ran a quick peck on the lips and then Conan on his head.

Lobby

Shinichi stepped out into the lobby. He didn't know why he was shaking, probably because he was happy? Or maybe he was still nervous?

Yukiko looked up. "Shin-chan!"

Shinichi flashed a quick smile.

"Well, is everything alright, Kudo?" Heiji asked. Shinichi nodded.

"Yeah, we have a son. We named him Conan Edogawa…Kudo."

"Aww, I am so happy for you both!" Sonoko shouted. Shinichi blushed slightly and turned away.

When they were about to head towards the maternity ward, something happened.

Ai had been tense all day and this was probably why. She had sensed the organization was watching them…maybe they were and have been for this whole time.

"Anyone moves, and they die!" A man wearing black shouted as he took out his gun.

Ai's face went white. That voice. That tone. That color.

Shinichi was now frozen. Was this a dream? He hoped and prayed that it was a nightmare. What was gonna happen?

A few more men and women in black entered the building, threatening with guns.

"You! All of you! Get out from behind there!"

"If anyone calls the police, she dies!" One of them shouted, holding a gun to one of the nurses heads.

"To make sure none of that happens, hand over all your electronics, NOW!" Another one shouted. They had at least five other "terrorists" walk around forcing everything off of everyone.

"Shit, what about Ran? And Conan?" Shinichi asked. Yusaku looked down.

"You!" The first one walked over and got close to Shinichi and Yusaku. "Stop talking and get against the wall over there, now!" He forced the group.

Shinichi looked at him in the eye. "Face the wall, frickin kid!"

Soon afterwards the two the caused all of this suffering to both Shinichi and Shiho, walked in.

Ai hid behind Agasa.

Shinichi began to panic.

"So you're alive afterall." Vodka said looking at Shinichi.

He gulped.

What was going to happen? What were their intentions?

Shinichi could do nothing as he watched the organization terrorize the hospital, taking hostages into the elevators and then threatening to kill them.

He was just thankful that the Maternity Ward hasn't been invaded. Could they go that far to injure a baby? Probably, but he didn't wanna think about that.

"You!" A man with black hair, wearing a bandana around his head, addressed to Ai.

She was in shock was probably having a panic attack now.

"Come here! Don't stare at me like that!" He fired the gun, causing everyone to jump.

Maternity Ward

Ran turned to the nurse who was prepping things. "What is going on out there?"

"There are some terrorists out there."

Ran gasped. "Shouldn't someone help?"

"We don't know how many hostages might me in jeopardy." The nurse said. She seemed very calm about the whole thing.

"Shouldn't you call the police?" Ran asked in shock, holding her son closer.

The nurse turned to her and grinned. "We cannot risk that…angel."

Ran's eyes widened. She didn't know much of what was going on. But she felt tense and felt something…evil?

Ran climbed out of the hospital bed and tried to make an escape, which was gonna be difficult with a baby.

"If you go out there, you will die." The nurse said.

"Who are you really?" Ran asked. The nurse smiled at her with a twisted look.

"I go by several names. Call me what you will," she pulled off her mask to reveal her true self as Vermouth. She took out her gun and pointed it to her. "Come here, now."

Ran didn't know what to do.

Vermouth was getting aggravated, "You can't go out there by yourself. Get over here, now!"

Conan started wailing and crying.

"If you want your life to be spared along with your son, I suggest you keep quiet and do as I say." Vermouth said in such a horrifying tone.

Vermouth pulled Ran close to her and held a gun to her head. "Now, don't try anything funny or you and the baby will get shot." Ran gulped. She held Conan close to her.

Vermouth opened the door and pulled them out.

The Lobby

"RAN!" Kogoro shouted. He was about to run through everyone but was stopped.

Shinichi stood in shock. He also tried to make his way to her but was stopped by another gunman.

"Move and you die."

Shit. What the hell do I do?

"If anyone makes a move or tries to contact the police, I will kill her and the baby."

"Shinichi," Ran said quietly. Shinichi looked at her in panic.

"Come on," Vermouth said pulling Ran along.

Two other gunmen followed her out, grabbing Ai in the process.

Once the three of them left, the other gunmen held everyone hostage until they were given a sign to flee.

Several chemists under the organization took some chemicals to create new poisons and such.

"Heiji," Kazuha said quietly. He looked at her. "What are we going to do? Ran-chan was just taken with the baby."

"I think it was only a threat. They have them hostage but they'll be fine…for now. We'd still have to act soon."

"How do you know?" Kazuha asked. Heiji gestured her to look at Shinichi.

"Kudo said so,"

"Huh?"

"The look in his eyes said it all. He is scared but he knows they'll be safe."

"SHUT UP!" One of the other gunmen shouted. Some were already fleeing.

Shinichi looked down. He felt helpless now. He didn't know how reckless things would get.

It wasn't long before everyone from the organization fled.

"They took all of our phones!" A nurse shouted as she ran out from another hall.

The place looked ruined. Computers have been smashed along with phones. The medical cabinets were destroyed.

"Shinichi," Yukiko said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I have to go find them," he said softly.

"We'll help you," Kogoro said. He looked at Shinichi with a stern look. "Look, I know you didn't mean for this to happen. This was the thing you were trying to prevent. But, we must not give up now. My daughter and grandson, your son might I add are out there."

Shinichi nodded and hid the tears forming in his eyes.

"Kudo come on." Heiji said. Shinichi nodded and turned to everyone.

"Mom," he said. She looked at him. "Here," he handed her a detective badge. "We'll contact the police, so you stay here until the police get here."

She nodded with tears. "Shin-chan, you're not gonna try something stupid are you?" Shinichi smirked.

"Mom, I need to save my son and Ran from them, before it's too late."

"Be careful," Yukiko said. Shinichi nodded.

Kogoro, Heiji, Yusaku and Shinichi ran out.

Ran…

Conan…

Please be ok…
