Chapter 20: My Little Sister Aoi

Ryosuke stood in front of the door of room 315 nervous. "What's wrong?" Tezuka asked.

"What if my little sister doesn't like me?" He asked worried.

Tezuka patted his head. "She'll like you."
Ryosuke looked up. "Really?"
Tezuka nodded his head. Ryosuke smiled and opened the door and ran inside with Tezuka behind him. "Okaa-San!" He screamed happily jumping onto the hospital bed.

"Ahh!" Sakuno screamed, "I was so worried about you!"

She hugged her son and started crying. Ryosuke was befuddled and looked at his father. "When she woke up Okaa-San was worried about you and Tezuka-Oji-San." Ryoma explained.

"Thank you." Sakuno said to Tezuka.

He bowed. "Congratulations."

"Oh these are for you Okaa-San!" Ryosuke said handing the banquet of flowers to Sakuno, "I picked them out myself!"
"They're beautiful!" She said happily, "Thank you so much Ryosuke."
Ryosuke looked around the room. "Where's my little sister?"
Ryoma and Sakuno smiled. "Would you like to meet her?" Ryoma asked.

Ryosuke nodded his head timidly. Ryosuke walked over to the small incubator besides Sakuno and took out a white bundle and handed it carefully to Sakuno. "Come here Ryosuke." Sakuno said in a hushed voice.

Ryosuke scooted over and peered at the bundle to see a sleeping face. "Is that my sister?" He said in a whisper, fearing he would wake her up.

Sakuno nodded her head. "Would you like to hold her?" She asked.

Ryosuke's eyes sparkled. "Can I?" He asked.

Sakuno laughed and nodded her head. Ryosuke sat stock still as his sister was placed in his arms. He felt the warm of the bundle of life in his arms and felt the movement. Ryosuke started crying. Ryoma took the baby while Sakuno hugged their son. "What's wrong?" She asked worried, "Was she too heavy?"
He shook his head and wiped his tears away. "I'm so happy." He said, "She's so small."
Sakuno smiled and hugged her son. "Oh my goodness Ryosuke. You're so cute!"
"What's the baby's name going to be?" Tomoka asked.

Sakuno thought this over and looked at Ryosuke. "What do you think her name should be Ryosuke?"
Ryosuke pondered this thought. "Aoi!" Ryosuke said with a smile.
"Aoi?" Sakuno asked, "Why Aoi?"
Ryosuke smiled. "Aoi (blue) is my favorite color! And since this is my sister she will be my favorite and I'll love her no matter what!"
Sakuno's eyes started watering and she hugged her son. "You're so sweet Ryosuke!"
Ryoma nodded his head. "Then we'll name her Aoi."
