Chapter 3
Delivery, Two years lapse, and a Plane Ride
Time flies when you're having sooooo much fun. Okay, maybe not so much on the fun.
I am currently nine months pregnant and well I am so fat.
On my last appointment, the doctor told me the sex of the baby and I am happy to report that I am having a baby girl. So keeping with the tradition that my dear late husband started I am naming the baby a Japanese name.
I decided on Kohana, which means little flower. I am looking forward to seeing her.
It has taken me awhile to admit that or to even want that. I was so mad at Sasuke for leaving me and the boys alone. That for a time I resented being pregnant; not that I would have wished my little girl any harm or wish her gone. I was just mad.
It was understandable I guess; being mad and a little resentful but I don't like feeling like that. It's not in my nature to be mad and sort of hateful. I was a little mean to very one; pity for one's self makes you a very unpleasant person to be around.
But the one thing that got me out of my funk was the letter I got from my husband and my boys.
Hideaki and Yasahiro have been the best little boys on the planet. I told them about the pregnancy when I was three months. And you know what they called it a gift from the dad. They said since he was in heaven he wanted to leave a gift for all of us to treasure.
If that don't get a person out of their funk well nothing else will. When they said that to me I was stunned; here were two little boys who had just lost their dad and they can look at something like that as a gift.
Needless to say, I had to agree and you know what I found…
That when you look at something as a gift it always seems better; so the baby became the gift from heaven and I wouldn't change that for anything…
Currently the boys and I are in the living room watching television and enjoying a little bit of popcorn. We worked very hard today, the boy and I; for today was getting the nursery finished day.
Laying here with the boys on either side of me, I realized that even though I am lonely for my husband I truly and not alone.
In two days, the boys will be going over to their grandparent's house and I will go to the hospital to have a c-section. My dad will be coming to the hospital for the delivery and father will have the boys with him; I can imagine how impatient the boys will be waiting for the phone call that will tell them that they are big brothers.
During my musing, Yasahiro looks up at me and smiles.
"Mommy…guesss whet?" Yasahiro says as he gets on his knees beside me.
"The word is 'what'…honey…now what am I guessing" I ask as he bounces on his knees.
"I am going to be a big brother…aren't I mommy" smiles the little bouncing imp.
"Why yes you are…one of the best big brothers out there" I smiled.
Not to be out done Hideaki got on his knees and started bouncing too. Oh, joy because nothing feels as great when you are pregnant as having something bounce beside you. Now I have to pee.
"Mmmmooooommm, me too, I am…going to be a bigger brother, rrriiiiggghhhtt" announced Hideaki.
"You certainly are going to be a big brother" I smiled as my bladder shook.
Hideaki frown at me and shook his head.
"NNNNNNOOOOO, mom bigger brother…I am already a big brother" Hideaki corrected.
"Ah, I see…well technically you can't be a…well, yeah you are" I said as I moved the popcorn to the coffee table and made my way to the bathroom.
"Okay mom we will talk when you come back" informed Hideaki.
I really tried to stop my eyes from rolling but I failed…
Getting back from the bathroom, I settled in between the boys once again.
Hideaki wasn't done…
There are days that they remind me of some of the worse traits that my Sasuke had and the first one was: having to be always right. That drove me insane!
So the boys and I argued in fun about who was the best and biggest big brother; finally it is time for bed.
After putting the boys to bed, I made my way to my own bed. Settling down for sleep which came very quickly; it must have been a couple hours when I got a rude wake up call.
I woke up in pain.
Bad…
Horrible…
Pain…
I took that as a hint that maybe I had better call my dad. Stumbling over to the phone, I made the call.
After the call I carefully made it down the stairs and opened the door for dad and father. Let me tell you when dad is in panic mode… he makes father book it. Normal drive time from their house is 20 minutes; father made it in 10.
Leaving very soon after, dad and I made it to the hospital in good time. Which was really great for me because at that point I was cussing and yelling about how much pain I was in; it took very little time to get a bed in the hospital and before I knew it I was wheeled in for the c-section.
And I am proud to say…that at exactly two o'clock in the morning…Kohana Uchiha was born. She weighed in at a whooping 6 lbs and 2 ounces. Kohana measured in at 17 inches. And get this…
She had blond hair and dark almost black eyes.
It seems that Sasuke's gift to me was more than just a baby. I get to see his eyes every day for the rest of my life. Absolutely amazing…my gift from heaven.
Fast forward two years…
Time flies when you are busy. I know the saying is time flies when you're having fun.
Having the little one around has been a gift from heaven…truly. She is a joy. And can you believe that she is two.
Which means that in a week we are going to fulfill what Sasuke requested in his letter; we are going to take his ashes to Japan and the trip is a little later than what I am sure he would have wanted but I had to wait for Kohana. I wanted her to be old enough that it wouldn't be that hard of a trip on her.
It gave me enough time to get the baby fat off of me and gave Kohana enough time to be potty trained.
And let me tell you she rules the roost. Her hair hasn't darkened any; it's still as blond as mine but her eyes sometimes I feel that I am looking into Sasuke's eyes. Her complexion is a little lighter than my own but she is darker than her brothers.
She had them boys wrapped around her finger. They are truly the best big brothers.
Speaking of the princess of the house…
"Kohana what is that?" I ask with a bit of trepidation.
Kohana smiled her little toothy smile and produced a bug…oh a little bug.
GGGGGwwwahaah…A BUG!
"Honey, give mommy the bug…" I really did try to smile.
Kohana looked at me…
"No, momma my buugg…" Kohana informed me.
Then a stampede of elephants could be heard coming toward me. Okay mot elephants…my sons but close.
"Mom… Yasahiro hit me" tattled Hideaki as he came to a screeching halt beside his sister.
Right behind Hideaki ran Yasahiro and he came to a really nice screeching halt on the other side of his sister.
"No, mom…I didn't hit Hideaki…he hit me" panted Yasahiro.
I stood looking at the three little…angels. You know if I keep telling myself that they are angel maybe one day they will be.
Going into mom damage control…
"Okay munchkins…Kohana you have to let the bug go outside to be with his family, because we don't want to keep bugs away from their families…do we?" I take a fast breath not waiting for a reply.
I then start on the boys.
"Now…Hideaki and Yasahiro…don't hit each other and go pick up your toys for it is almost supper time…and take your sister outside so that she can let the bug go to his family…" the three of them stood there looking at me.
"I mean NOW!" I bellowed.
And just like that the three angels went off to do their angelic duties.
I stood there watching them and then I realized that in seven days I would be getting on a plane with the…angels…for 12 hours.
That is very scary…
A week later…
The kids and I are standing at the terminal waiting to get one the plane (fast week, huh). Dad and father are waiting with us wishing us a great time.
Really I think that this trip is going to be one long trip to HELL.
"Dad and father, we are going to board now" I said nervously.
"Son, give us a call when you land in Japan…or your dad will be giving me all sorts of grief" said Kakashi with a reassuring smile.
I nodded and turned to the kids.
"Say bye to grandpa and gpa…kids" I said to the three spellbound children. They had been looking at the planes and were really excited about going on one; in fact, so excited they barely slept at all last night.
"Bye grandpa and gpa" said Hideaki as he went to hug them.
"Bye grandpa and gpa" said Yasahiro as he was right behind his brother in the hugging brigade.
"Bye grandpow and ggggpppaa" said Kohana last but not least.
I finish up the line and herd the little people on the plane. As we waited for the plane to take off, the kids finally feeling the effects of no sleep start to dose off one by one.
By then the pilot comes over the intercom and tell the passengers that we are taking off.
I feel a knot of nervous excitement rule through me; as I began to realize that I had never left Georgia before and now I was taking a trip to bury my husband's ashes in Japan.
The plane takes off and with the kiddo's sleeping…I decide that it is a good time to get some shut eye too.
Yes, a nap would be good.
Several hours later, the kids and I hear from the pilot that we are to begin landing in Tokyo, Japan. Excited small cheers could be heard from the little Uchihas' and to be honest the big one also.
Not long after that we land; taking our time though customs, we grab a taxi and make our way to the hotel. Our home for the next three weeks; checking into the hotel we get up to our and unpack.
Realizing that it is 10:00 o'clock at night here, we go get some ramen for a late dinner and then we all take turns in the shower (because you know after that may hours on a plane, you really need a shower).
Calling the front desk for awake up call; I settle the rowdy kids down to sleep.
Sitting on the sofa, I let the day pass through me and it is not long before I go to bed. Because at 11:00 tomorrow morning I get to meet Sasuke's brother…Itachi…and that will be very interesting day to be sure.
And to sleep… I happily go…
