Rating: T

Pairing: KyoyaXRenge

Prompts: grief, childbirth, child loss

"There is no greater pain for a parent than loosing a child."

Renge remembered her mother's words as grief washed over her. They rang loud and clear in her ears while tears poured down her face almost like a flood. Her hair was cropped short barely touching her shoulder and her hands were clasped together. Kyoya was sitting next to her, as white as a sheet, trembling almost violently.

A particularly loud sob was torn from her throat, moment in which her husband of three years stormed towards the door, slamming it as he exited the hospital room. His loud curses burned her ears, but Renge could do nothing besides crying. Voices from the other side of the wall reached her and she prayed to anyone who was listening to give Kyoya and herself some strength to get over this.

Her mother's words haunted her. They were said when her female parent lost her second child and Renge could now feel a new bond forming with the woman. The expression fit the way she felt right now.

The child she lost, the one she would never get to hold made Renge want to shout out. But she couldn't so instead she bathed the world in her tears. This was not supposed to happen to her and Kyoya. They were supposed to lead a happy life together, yet fate was cruel and robbed her of the most precious gift she could have ever received.

It had been horrible. She lost the baby in a car accident. A drunk driver crashed into the car she was in. She and her driver sustained minor physical wounds and that drunkard scumbag had no injuries at all. Fate was cruel. She hadn't even known she was pregnant and all that blood when they rushed her to the hospital scared her. Kyoya came to her as fast as it was humanly possible but the news of her forced miscarriage hit them both with unimaginable power.

Outside things seemed to have calmed down and Renge was grateful for that. Kyoya entered her room once again no longer looking as livid as before. He sat on the edge of her bed and took her hands in his; kissing the small fists they formed. Renge no longer able to stop herself hugged her husband and sobbed one more time in his shoulder. His strong hands rubbed her back allowing his woman to drive out her grief.

When Kyoya had learned about Renge's accident he had been frightened, terrified by the possibility of loosing her, yet fate had been crueller to his wonderful wife. She lost a baby, her child and Kyoya would have given anything to close the aching, raw wound in her heart but he could not do even that for her. He cursed his inability to sooth her and he cursed that drunken driver. Truthfully when he went out that door he wanted to rip that bastard apart but alas his brothers stopped him. The rest of his family came to the hospital when they heard about it but none entered the room considering that Kyoya and Renge had much to talk over.

So it was that Kyoya stayed all night up with Renge comforting her and Renge gave him the power that he needed to take care of her.

Losing a child is very traumatising and I just wanted to point out what happens when someone with no conscience is given a driver's license and a car.

People, don't drink and drive! For Haven's sake.

Hope to see you on a happier note next time.
