At the second the doctor started to speak, Kurogane's heart dropped into his stomach, and started to become nervous and shaky.
Katsuki tilted his head a little at the sight of the great ninja going pale. He lightly smiled. "The child is just fine. He was born just about thirty minutes ago."
Kurogane could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He was thrilled that he child was alive and finally into this world.
"But, there is something very odd. For some reason he can't make any noises or cry. His voice box seems damaged. But we'd have to run some tests to figure out why."
Kurogane was a little shocked to hear that. "Nothing at all?"
Katsuki shook his head. "Nothing. He tries, but nothing comes out. I'm not sure if he will be like that for the rest of his life, or if it's permanent.
Kurogane looked off to the side, thinking. 'This must be the defect that witch was talking about…' a sudden thought rushed into his head.
"What about Fai?" he almost shouted while he quickly looked up.
Katsuki's smile faded a little. "His wound was really bad. He lost a lot of blood was the stab and from giving birth (well, being cut open, is what he means)…"
Kurogane felt like he was just stabbed in the chest. He got what the doctor was saying. Tears started to brim his eyes, and he had to close them tightly to keep from spilling over.
"But it's like you said before, he's strong. Some how he managed to survive, and is looking to be stable within the next few hours.
"Oh…" Kurogane smiled a little, but it faltered. No way was he going to look weak in front of someone. But he was truly happy that they were both alive. "Thank god…" he whispered to himself.
The doctor smiled and grabbed onto Kurogane's wrist. "Would you like to see your son?" the swordsman nodded, and then Katsuki followed the way into Fai's hospital room.
When they came into the room, the black-haired man looked down at Fai as the doctor went to retrieve his son. Kurogane bent down next to the sleeping man's side and grabbed his hand lightly. He smiled at the only guy he would smile like that for.
"You really are as strong as you are beautiful…" he said quietly to himself, thanking the heavens that Fai wasn't awake to hear him being a pussy. He looked at his love's face as saw his eyes twitch slightly and his mouth curl up into a smile.
"Beautiful, huh?" the mage said in a weak but teasing voice as he opened his eyes to look at the ninja. Fai had been awake for awhile now, just trying to rest and control the pain that he was feeling in his stomach, also noting that there were now two cuts in his gut. Because of the pain, he could barely talk.
Kurogane blushed immensely. "Sh-shut up, stupid mage. I didn't say beautiful, so just forget it!"
"Too late." Fai smiled gently and tried sitting up, but it was extremely hard and painful. Before he could sit up all the way, Kurogane grabbed onto his waist and hugged him tightly him softly, making sure to be careful with his stomach. He leaned down and whispered into his ear. "I love you, Fai."
The magician's eyes widened with shock, and then he started to tear up, his eye brows arching downwards. "Really…?" he said, about to burst out crying in joy. Kurogane nodded.
"Kurogane…I love you too…" he said, trying to keep his cool like he usually did. "I know…" they both smiled at each other, happy that they had one another, and had their love (I could make this scene a lot more sappy and romantic, but I am too lazy)
As Kurogane let Fai go, Katsuki joined them it the room; he held in his arms a small bundle of a blanket. "Here you go." He carefully handed Kurogane the bundle. Fai slowly looked over, and they both took in the sight of the little child they had created, together.
The ninja suddenly got a huge grin on his face, which looked and felt weird and uncharacteristic, though Fai found it to be adorable.
The baby had black hair that was messed up and tossed around his little head. His skin tone was just a little lighter than Kurogane's, but his body was mainly a light purple color (from having taken his first breath only half any hour ago, so circulation would still be a little poor).
"He's so tiny." Kurogane commented, not sure what else to say in a moment like that. Fai smiled and also commented, "He has your nose."
Slowly the infant started to open his eyes and peered around the world around him.
"I can't believe it," The doctor said with astonishment, "he opened his eyes so early."
The ninja smiled softly and looked over at Fai. "He has your sapphire eyes." The baby began to stir a little in his fathers arms, his nose scrunched up as if he wanted to whimper and cry, but nothing came out.
"What would you like to name him?" the doctor asked them as he grabbed an ink pen and a piece of paper that had stuff printed on it.
"You name him, Fai. After all you did give birth to him." Kurogane said as he cautiously handed the infant to his mother.
"No, you should, he looks more like you." The mage gave a sad smile, just remembering that he had already chosen to give the child up for adoption, and was not going back on it now.
"Hm…" the ninja thought awhile. He wanted to give him a cute name, that would fit him, or at least how he looked. For some reason he was thinking something like a tree, strong and beautiful, like Fai was.
"…Naoki." He said in a loving voice. "Naoki Flourite." He looked at the mage and gave him a smile that said "try to beat that name, I dare you"
The blonde smiled. "It's perfect…" he wondered why the ninja would use his last name though, and not his own.
"Just like you." Fai blushed. He chuckled a little, but it quickly faded, and he looked down sadly.
"What's wrong? I thought you would be happy that we're a family." The ninja asked him.
"Well…you see, I kind of already decided when I first found out I was pregnant that when the child was born, I was going to give him up for-"
"No!" Kurogane interrupted him. "No, and that's it, no. You will not give him to any one else. He's ours and only ours, no one else can have him. And no one else can have you." Fai was speechless for once. He has no idea what to say, or even think. But he knew that Kurogane wasn't giving him a choice to keep him or not. He was keeping him, no questions. But he was happy that the ninja wanted him, and he was also happy knowing that he really loved him.
"Well then…" he looked down and smiled, it was an innocent smile, and looked even a little sad, but Kurogane knew it was the happiest and most real smile he's seen the mage make. "We're a family then…There's a new life…but also a new death." He looked up seriously. "Death?" both the doctor and Kurogane asked at the same time.
"Yes…My womanly figure." He could practically see him crying from the inside when he said that.
The doctor laughed as Kurogane facepalmed. "Don't worry, you will go back to normal in about a week or so. You were already small, even before you gave birth, so it won't take long for your stomach to go shrink."
"Your stomach shrinks after birth?" Fai asked confused. The doctor nodded and started to explain to him why.
Kurogane stopped listening to them and caressed Naoki's cheek. "I'm going to take good care of you…Forever. I promise. I love you, my son, even though we have just met. I won't let anything happen to you."
Fai looked over and smirked at his lover's affection. It was too cute.
Katsuki slowly took Naoki out of Fai's arms. "I'm going to take him back to rest now. If you want to see him again, just ask me and I will bring him back. Also, Kurogane, you can take Naoki home in a few days. But Fai, you will have to stay a little longer because of your injuries." He smiled lightly as Kurogane and Fai nodded in agreement. He turned around and left the two alone.
The ninja turned to his love. "I'm really proud of you. You're strong…I don't think I could ever carry a child for such a long time, and then go through all that pain…Man, I have seen what it's like in my home town. Not pretty."
Fai stuck his tongue out. "I'm so glad I was unconscious for that. Haha." He then looked over at the ninja, grabbing his hand and pulling him closer to him, capturing his lips with his own. "And, I love this side of you, so lovable."
The swordsman blushed a soft red and gently wrapped his arms around Fai and laid next to him, snuggling him closely. "I only show it around you. Don't tell any one." Fai giggled. "Of course not, you big love bug.
