Chapter 10: Let the fun begin... kinda..

"Thoughts"

"Talking"

"Not Again." Akito thought as he was woken by Koharu's cries for the millionth time that day. It had been about a week since Koharu was born, and things were quite crazy. Akito groaned as he sat up and looked at the clock. 3:48 am. "Sigh." When Koharu was born, he put one of the baby monitors in his room, so when the baby cried at night, he would hear it, and stay up with Sana. Since Koharu was in Sana's room at the time, the walk wasn't too far. He opened the door, and Sana was already feeding her. "Geez, how many time has she eaten already today?" He sat down beside her. Sana giggled. "Ahh.. hmm... well every 3 hours, i guess.. can't exactly count." Akito looked at her, and noticed that Sana's eyes looked really tired. "Go to sleep." Sana looked at him confusingly. "Uhh.. I can't."

"I mean after she's done eating, go to sleep." Usually, after she feeds her, she burps her, and holds her for another hour. Sana pouted. "But.. I.." Akito shook his head "no." Sana had Koharu over shoulder, patting her back, when Akito snatched her away. "Akito!" Akito was serious. "I said go to sleep. Now. You're tired. I'll take care of her. Just go to sleep." It seemed that they were always arguing on who would take care of her, and when it was their turn. They were both really attached to Koharu. Koharu let out a tiny burp. Akito lifted her to face him. "Hah, that a girl!" He cradled her in his arms, and rocked her. He looked at Sana and noticed her eyes were still open. "Sana.."

"Akito, you have school tomorrow." Akito shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care. I'll be fine." Sana sat up. "Eventually, you won't be. You barely sleep anymore." Akito once again shrugged his shoulders. "Neither do you. It's only fair." Sana sighed in defeat. "Oh, fine." Akito smirked in victory. "Now, go to sleep already." He looked down at Koharu who was staring at him with big eyes. "Hey, you go to sleep too." Koharu made some noise of protest. She looked at him like she was waiting for something. "She's waiting for a song, Akito." Akito looked up to see Sana still awake. "What?"

"She's waiting for a song. Usually, when I rock her, I sing to her, and that puts her to sleep. You know that." Akito doesn't exactly sing, and Sana knew that. "Sigh, give her to me." Akito pulled her closer to him. "No, go to sleep. Now." Sana inwardly smiled. Akito was so attached to her it was funny. She tried to hold a giggle, and it worked. Sana stood up and walked towards him. "Sana, what are you doing?" Sana slightly smirked. "Well, since you don't feel like giving up Koharu, I'll just sing to her while you rock her." She looked at him with eyes saying "Don't you dare say "go to sleep." Akito just continued to rock Koharu, while Sana sang the normal lullaby that went..

"Hush little baby, don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.."

She continued to sing the song, and Akito noticed Koharu's eyes go droopy til finally they closed. Sana smiled and gave Koharu a little kiss on her head, and walked to her bed. Akito stood up to put Koharu back in her bassinet. He too, gave her a small kiss on her head, and went to Sana to give her a kiss on the lips. "Well, see ya in a few hours." Sana joked.

"Sounds good." Akito left for his room.

A baby monitor, as well as an alarm clock was going off to wake somebody up. However, that person was not waking up. Ten minutes passed, and the person seemed to just sleep throught both crying and ringing. Sana walked into Akito's room, with Koharu in her arms. "Akito's still asleep. That's new." She walked up to him, and leaned down to whisper in his ear. "Akito, wake up. You're going to be late." She turned the alarm clock off. Akito groaned in his sleep, when he finally opened his eyes, to see Sana sitting on his bed. He looked at the clock, and saw it read 7:05 am. He immediately sat up. "I'm sorry." Sana shook her head. "Don't be. It's okay. I told you you'd be tired." When, Akito walked out of Sana's room the night before, Koharu started crying again. Akito was stuck holding and persuading Koharu to sleep for the next hour. So, he didn't get to sleep til around 5:30. "Are you going to school today?" Akito nodded. "I've missed too much school recently. I just need to suck it up." Sana looked at him sympathetically. Akito had been more than wonderful since Koharu was born. He was always by her side, and helped in any way he could with Koharu. Sana smelled something delicious from the hallway. "Mm.. that smells good. Hurry up, or I'm going to eat all your breakfast." She smirked. With that, she and Koharu were out of the room, and Akito got ready for school.

Akito walked in the dining room. True, the food smelled delicious. He sat down beside Sana and noticed something. Where was Koharu? He looked around, and finally saw Koharu in the arms of his father, her grandfather, Fuyuki. He continued to watch him. Fuyuki had somewhat changed since Koharu was born. Maybe, it was her namesake. But he just looks at her differently than anybody else. With his eyes glowing everytime he saw her. And he was always asking to hold her. Akito couldn't help but smile at the scene before him. "Akito?" Sana snapped him back to reality, and he looked her way. "Huh? Yeah?"

"Aren't you hungry?" Akito nodded and put his food on a plate. While he was eating, he continued to watch his father and Koharu. Sana noticed this, and giggled to herself. Nearby, Misako was cooing and gushing at Koharu too. Sana and Akito thought the same thing. "Her grandparents are going to spoil her rotten." Once Akito finished eating, he broke the silence. "Uh, dad?" He looked at his dad's plate, and noticed it wasn't empty. Fuyuki looked up at Akito. "Yes?"

"Do you want me to take her? Your foods getting cold, I'm sure." Fuyuki nodded and he handed Koharu to Akito. Sana and Akito usually had somewhat of a routine when they ate. Sana would eat a little bit while Akito held Koharu. Then they would switch. Akito would eat some, and Sana would hold Koharu. They would continue to take turns, til their plates were empty. Sometimes, like this morning, their parents would hold her while they ate, but usually they held her. They seemed to never put her in the basinet, cause if they did, she would start crying, even if she didn't need anything. Akito looked at the clock and it said 7:20. School started at 7:30. He stood up. "Well, I better get going. See ya guys." He walked out of the room, but Sana followed. She always did that. "Hey, Akito?" Akito turned her way. "Here, drink this on the way." She handed him a drink that was high in caffeine. "You might need that. You've been up all night." He nodded. "Thanks. Oh, and Sana.?"

"Yes?"

"When I get home, I want you to rest, while I take care of Koharu." Sana started to protest, but Akito stopped her.

"Before you know it, you'll get sick. I can't let that happen. Just rest for once. You've got all day with her while I'm gone. Just let me have her when I get home. Okay?" Sana gave up. "Oh, alright." Like Akito, Sana was very attached to Koharu. So, when she was being told not to take care of her, it made her sad. Even thought she was VERY tired, she didn't want to seem too lazy to take care of her own baby. She lightly pecked Akito on the cheek. With that, he was out the door.

It would only be an hour or so til Sana's tutor showed up. She was up in her room, and she wasn't in the best shape, as she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked over at the bassinet. Koharu was sleeping soundly. She decided now would be a good time to get a shower. She went downstairs and told Misako that she would be in the shower. So, if Koharu woke up, Misako would come and get her. Sana went back upstairs, and took her well needed shower.


"Mr. Hayama? Are you still with us?" The teacher asked at the front of the classroom. His back was turned, and writing on the chalkboard. He had eyes like a hawk behind his head, so he automatically knew Akito Hayama was asleep. He turned around, and his assumption was correct. Akito was indeed, asleep. Tsuyoshi tapped him on the shoulder. "Akito, wake up. He's coming your way." But, it was too late. The teacher had whacked Akito's desk with his ruler. Akito groggily lifted his head up. "What?" The teacher smirked. "Welcome back, Hayama." Akito ignored that, as he laid his head back down on the desk, and went back to sleep. "Unbelievable." The teacher walked up to his desk and pulled out a shiny whistle. He walked back to Akito's desk. Tsuyoshi tried to wake Akito up so that he would be spared the horrible punishment to come. But, it was no use. The teacher blew that whistle like there was no tomorrow. The rest of the students closed their ears. Akito sat up instantly. He glared at the teacher, his eyes bloodshot. The teacher stopped blowing the whistle, and looked at him. The look on Akito's face made the teacher all of a sudden, feel bad. "Do you need to see a nurse?" Akito mumbled. "No, I'm fine." It was no use, Akito's head fell back on the desk with a "thud" The teacher sighed. "Tsuyoshi, can you please take Akito to the nurse?" Tsuyoshi stood up and bowed. "Yes sir." He picked up Akito and managed to throw him over his shoulder.

In the infirmary, Akito slowly opened his eyes, and sat up. Tsuyoshi still hadn't left him yet. Akito mumbled "Not again." This turned into a every other day routine. Akito would be sleeping and look so sick, that he was sent to the nurse. Tsuyoshi usually always escorted him. "I'm sorry." Tsuyoshi shrugged him off. "Don't worry about it. I understand." Tsuyoshi remembered when Akito always had to take Tsuyoshi to the nurse, due to his "Temper tantrums", and Akito knocking him out. "But still.." Tsuyoshi looked his way. Akito continued tos peak. "I'm supposed to take care of Koharu this evening. How can I, when I'm constantly falling asleep. Sana won't rest now, if she see's me in this condition." Tsuyoshi nodded in agreement. "How does she do it?" Akito continued to speak. "I mean, you can tell when she's tired, but she doesn't let anything, like sleep get in her way. She'll be awake all day and all night, and not expect anybody to help her, so she can sleep." Tsuyoshi was trying to think of an answer. "Maybe it's a mother thing."

"Maybe." Akito agreed. "Anyway, I'm okay now. So, how about we go back to class." Tsuyoshi nodded his head, and they walked back to class.


The very long day of school had finally ended. Akito was walking home alone. He already talked with his friends, and now was by himself. He sometimes enjoyed lonely walks. It always gave him time to think, and it was quiet. That is, til he opens the door, and hears screaming. The peace is over. "Uh, Sana?" Sana came running and literally threw Koharu in his arms. "What?" Koharu was crying, and Sana was well.. not in good shape. Sana immediately collapsed onto the couch. Akito, confused, he sat down with the screaming Koharu in his arms. "Sana? What's going on?" Sana had snapped.

"I'm just so tired!" She started crying. "I know I should suck it up, but.. this is just so hard!" Akito sighed to himself. Both, Sana and Koharu were crying. "What do I do?" He didn't have a chance to respond. Sana fell unconscious. Akito had to do something. "Dad!" Misako appeared in the living room. "Akito, what happened here?" Akito just gave Koharu to Misako for the moment. "Just hold her for a minute, please?" Akito picked up Sana, and took her upstairs to her room. When he came back, Misako was bouncing Koharu, to get her to stop crying. Akito muttered "Thanks." and took Koharu back. Koharu was still crying. Akito looked at Misako with eyes asking for help. Misako was slightly stumped. "Sana just fed her about 30 minutes before you arrived. It's not her diaper. Before she ate, she was sleeping. Maybe, she's just cranky. Why don't you try putting her back to sleep." Akito nodded and walked upstairs back to Sana's room. Wait, bad idea. Koharu would wake Sana up. He instead, went to one of the guest rooms on the other side of the house, so Sana would not be disturbed. He sat down on the bed, and tried to bounce her and do what Misako was doing. But, nothing was working. "Come on, now. Stop crying. You're alright." As if a prayer had been answered, Koharu wasn't crying as loudly. Akito noticed, him talking to her, helped. "Did she just want someone to talk to her?" How was that possible, Misako was talking to her. His voice had stopped, and Koharu's crying was about to increase. "Hey, hey. That's enough." The words were rough, but not the tone. They came out very soothing. Koharu's cries, once again were stopping. She finally decided to open her eyes, and she looked at Akito. "Hey, why are you crying, kiddo? Did you just miss a particular somebody." Refurring to himself, he smirked. She continued to stare at him. He continued to talk to her, and since she wasn't crying, he took her back to Sana's room. He waited though, til he was sure she was asleep, to put her in the basinet. He started to whisper, so he wouldn't wake up Sana. It wasn't Akito's fault, but Koharu let out a tiny noise, and that woke up Sana. "Mm.." Sana moaned, and she stretched. "Akito?" She sat up, and sure enough, there he was with Koharu. He knew what was about to come when Sana's mouth opened. "I'm..." Akito immediately put his hand over her mouth. "Don't you dare say that?" Sana had appologizing a lot lately, but what for? Akito saw no problem. "She's finally quiet now?" Akito nodded. "Yeah, she's alright." He looked down and noticed she was dead asleep. He hesitantly placed her in the basinet. He kept his eyes on her, just waiting for her eyes to open back up, but they didn't. He inwardly sighed, and turned his attention back to Sana. "Are you alright?" Sana nodded. "Yes, I am now. I guess I just needed a moment's rest."

"And it's a good thing I came home when I did too. What do you think would've happened, if you collapsed with Koharu in your arms, huh?" Sana eyes widened at that thought. "I wouldn't let that happen. And if I did, I wouldn't forgive myself. I guess with the relief that you had her, I just let myself sleep. I dunno, but that's what happened. But, anyway are you okay?" Akito slightly laughed. "Of course I am. If I weren't, I'd be dead asleep with you." He smirked. Sana laughed too. "I guess so." It got silent all of a sudden, but Akito quickly broke it. "You know, I have an idea."

"And what's that?"

"You know, I think you should have a day off?" Sana immediately sat up. "What?? What do you mean? A day off?"

"Take a break for the day. Parents do it all the time." Sana wasn't buying it. "Akito, I can't just do that. No, I won't! It's not going to happen."

"It's not like you would be leaving her here alone. I would take care of her all day."

"And how are you going to do that? You can't exactly feed her, you know." Akito blushed at that last comment. "Well, don't you have one of those pump thingies?"

"Yes, but do you really think Koharu is just going to get used to a bottle in one day? That doesn't normally happen."

"Start now."

"What?" Akito was thinking way too much into this.

"The next time she eats, use the bottle. That way she'll get used to it."

"Akito, why do you want me to do this so badly? It's not normal, for a mother to just leave the house when the baby is barely two weeks old."

"Because.. I think you need a day to yourself. Do something fun. Me, knowing you, you hate being cooped up in a house all day, not to mention months. I can also tell you're itching to get out of the house, right? Right?" Sana hesitantly nodded. "Okay, so why not? Why don't you and your mother go out and do something together. That day, I'm sure my dad will be at work, so.." Sana stopped him.

"One problem, Akito. You havent' been left to take care of her alone before?" That statement hit Akito hard. True, he hasn't taken care of her alone, but he never had the opportunity to. "Well, it's time I got used to it."

"You don't mind?" Akito shook his head. "No, not really. Just get her used to a bottle, and I can do it. Everything else I can do."

"You're really serious about this, aren't you?" Akito was getting oddly excited about it. He nodded. "If you don't want to, we can wait a couple weeks, til you're ready to leave. Then, just leave her to me on a Sunday, obviously." Sana still felt weird about the whole thing. But, the look on Akito's face couldn't let her say no. She sighed in defeat. "Well, if you insist.." Akito smiled. "Good." As if on cue, Koharu was whining in her basinet again.
