Hello!
Okay so after days of thinking and thinking, I decided to post what I have of this chapter. Its a bit short and it doesn't have the fight scene with A-Laws but I just couldn't find it in myself to type out the battle scene. But there is the reunion with Rina, Setsuna and Sora!
Plus, I added an extra of how Rina and Setsuna spent the past four years.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Gundam 00.
Well, I hope you enjoy and from now on, I am going to follow my best friends way of updating her stories. Once a month. Well, at least, I'll try to ...
Any who, I hope you guys enjoy!
Words couldn't describe the feelings he was feeling. Were his eyes tricking him? Standing before him were the two people he thought he would never see in the world again. Sora's eyes widened as he stared at the man before him.
"Papa?" he questioned again before he started to walk towards Setsuna. His pace quickened before he was ran towards him and threw his arms around Setsuna's legs.
"Papa!" cried the four year old, burying his head into Setsuna's leg as tears streamed his little face.
Setsuna's eyes widened before he bent down and wrapped his arm around Sora and felt the warmth of his son's body against his.
He wasn't dreaming. Sora was alive. He was alive and crying in his arms. Looking up, he saw Rina's eyes staring at him. Her eyes were wide as tears formed and started to trickle down her cheeks. Sora turned back to Rina, his blue full of joy.
"Mama! It's papa!" he yelled and Rina slowly nodded as she held a hand up to her mouth to mute her sobs. Setsuna stared at her before he walked over with Sora in his arms and grabbed Rina's arm. Warmth spread from her arm into his hand and Setsuna's grip tightened on her arm.
She was here as well. Rina snapped up as crimson and blue-violet clashed before Setsuna pulled close and wrapped his arm around her. The coordinator's eyes widened at his actions but when she felt his arm wrapping around her waist, she buried her head into Setsuna's chest as tears streamed down her face.
"You're alive," she cried over and over again to which Setsuna silently nodded as he tightened his grip on her. Sora watched his parents as a small smile formed on his face as he wrapped his arms around both his mother and father. Setsuna smiled at Sora before he slowly let go if Rina to let the boy down. With both his arms free, Setsuna stared down at Rina who refused to meet his gaze. He tilted up her chin and blue-violet locked with crimson. Leaning forward, Setsuna placed his lips over hers and his grip tightened around her. Rina slowly closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around Setsuna. Setsuna inwardly smiled as he deepened the kiss as his tongue licked Rina's lip causing the coordinator to gasp. Pulling Rina closer, Setsuna kissed her, remembering what she tasted like.
For an entire year, he thought that the two most precious people in his life were gone. But, he was wrong.
Both his wife and son were alive. They were alive and both of them were with him.
"You have to come back with me," he whispered when they pulled away. His crimson eyes remained on Rina's flushed face before he tilted her chin and made her look up. Rina's eyes widened at his words before she nodded her head. A smile appeared on Setsuna's face as he wiped the tears away from Rina's face and leaned in until their foreheads were touching. He closed his eyes as his arms tightened around Rina's waist. Rina stared at Setsuna before a small smile appeared on her face as she buried her head into the crook of Setsuna's neck.
"I thought that you were-" she started when Setsuna slowly nodded as his arms tightened.
"I know," and more tears fell down Rina face as she closed her eyes.
"If I had known, I would have come to you sooner," Setsuna's eyes softened at his wife's words before he closed his eyes.
"You're here now, along with Sora, that's all that matters,"
Sora watched his parents with amusement before he tugged on their legs. Both Setsuna and Rina pulled away and looked down at Sora before Rina pulled him before the four year old threw his arms around both his parents.
...
Inside the bridge of Ptolemy, Lasse, Ian, and Sumeragi watched as members of Katharon gathered the dead for burials.
"Do they have to be so ruthless?" questioned Lasse as Ian's eyes narrowed at the sight.
"Dam A-Laws," cursed the mechanic. Sumeragi's eyes fell at the sight before her as Feldt led Miliena out of the bridge.
"Milena, don't look," ordered the pinkette to which the younger girl nodded as she was led out of the bridge.
"We lived for his sake, we died for his sake if this is to be my fate," mourned one of the Katharon members as he looked down a his comrade. Sumeragi's eyes widened at his words as memories of her past flashed in her head.
"If this is to by my fate, it's pointless to resist," whispered a dying soldier as tears ran down his lovers face.
"We travel a road we cannot see and at the end of the road is the end of life, and all of this is the guidance of god," whispered Emilio as he reached out his hand to which his lover grasped tightly. A small smile appeared on his face at his lover for one last time before he closed his eyes and fell into eternal sleep. Leesa Kujo's eyes widened as she saw her lover's eyes close before the hand in her grasp went limp.
"Emilio?" whispered Leesa before tears ran down her cheeks.
"Emilio!"
As memories of her horrific past flashed in her head, Sumeragi felt her body wobble before everything before turned black.
Both Ian and Lasse's eyes widened when they saw the tactical forecaster stumble before her body hit the cold floor.
"Miss Sumeragi!"
...
Stepping into her room, Rina paused before she started to gather up her belongings. Sora ran in behind her as he grabbed his stuffed bear and smiled up at Rina. Smiling down at him, Rina grabbed her communicator before she took his hand and walked out of the room.
"So you're going back with him?" questioned a voice and Rina paused before she turned to see Fon leaning against the wall. At the sight of him, Sora's eyes narrowed before he stepped forward.
"Leave mama alone," he stated and Fon glared at the little boy before he looked back at Rina who nodded at his words. A small sigh escaped the red-eyes man before he pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it at her. Catching it, Rina saw the bottle of pills Telicyra had given her along with a communicator.
"If you're thinking about meeting with those guys, the point is one that device," stated Fon before he walked away leaving Rina and Sora in the hallway. Sora watched Fon completely go out of sight before he turned back to Rina.
"Mama, let's go," and Rina paused at the small device in her hand before she stuffed the device along with the bottle of pills into her pocket before she took Sora's hand in hers and walked towards the gundams.
...
"Azadistan was attacked?! Was it the Federation?" questioned Tieria as Setsuna reported what he had seen in the country to Tieria and Allejiuah. Setsuna shook his head as he faced the screen before him.
"I'm not sure, but among one of the mobile suits that attacked, there was a gundam," and Tieria looked back at the meister before him.
"A gundam?" questioned Tieria and Setsuna's eyes narrowed.
"You know which one it is," he stated when a message appeared on the screen and Allejiuah quickly scanned the content before he turned his head towards the two meisters.
"It appears as if Miss Sumeragi's fainted," and both Tieria and Setsuna's eyes widened.
"What happened?" questioned Tieria as Allejiuah looked at the remainder of the message.
"I don't know but we have orders to return to the Ptolemy," and Setsuna nodded.
"Alright then, let's head back," and Tieria turned back to glare at Saji who was silently sitting in the corner.
"You're coming, if we leave you here, you might be in serious danger," and Saji remained silent as Tieria turned back to the screen. Too caught up in their thoughts, the meisters failed to hear footsteps approaching.
"Did something happen?" questioned a new voice causing both Tieria and Allejiuah to snap up and turn around at the person. Both meister's eyes widened when they saw Rina standing before them with a questioning look on her face.
"Rina," gasped Allejiuah and Tieria blinked a few times. A small smile appeared on Rina's face as she looked at the two stunned meisters.
"Its been a while, Tieria, Allejiuah," and the two meisters remained silent as Setsuna walked over and grasped Rina's hand.
"Rina will be coming back to the Ptolemy with us," stated the raven-haired meister when the little boy from earlier poked his head out from behind Rina's legs.
"Mama, Papa, are we leaving now?" he asked with wide eyes to which both Setsuna and Rina nodded at him.
Once again, both Tieria and Allejiuah were rendered speechless as Rina picked up the little boy before she looked back at the two meisters with a smile on her face.
"Setsuna, this is-," started Allejiuah but the rest of his words couldn't be formed. Setsuna looked at the two meisters before he gently patted Sora's head.
"This is Sora," and both of the meister's eyes looked from Setsuna to Sora, trying to connect the dots. Setsuna noticed their confusion before he wrapped his arm around Rina and locked his eyes with the two meisters.
"Sora is our son,"
"WHAT?!" yelled both Tieria and Allejiuah and then it hit them. The resemblance of Sora between Setsuna. Sora was a carbon copy of Setsuna except for his eyes. Blue eyes stared back at them before Sora looked back at Setsuna and Rina who smiled at the little boy.
"But when, how," stuttered Allejiuah, a faint blush appearing on his face when Setsuna stepped forward.
"We'll explain later, we need to head back to Ptolemy,"
...
Inside Sick Bay, Feldt, Ian and Lasse stared at the screen before them.
"Due to a mental shock of some kind, she's temporarily unconscious," stated Feldt as she read the data on the screen before her. Both Ian and Lasse turned back to stare at Sumeragi's unconscious form in the pod before they turned back to Feldt. "Give her some time and she should wake up on her own,"
"I wonder what happed to her?" questioned Lasse to which Ian closed his eyes.
"I don't know but the one certain thing is, this shock was triggered by the recent massacre," and both Feldt and Lasse nodded when Miliena's face popped up on the screen.
"What is it Miliena?" questioned Feldt.
"I just wanted to inform you that the meisters are back," and the three in the sick bay nodded before they all headed towards the bridge.
...
Flying over the Rub Al Khali desert, Nena Trinity read the latest news about Azadistan in her mobile suit carrier.
"Attack on Azadistan, the Federation sets out to reorganize the Middle East," when the image of the destroyed Katharon base appeared on the screen. A grin formed on Nena's face as she saw all the damage done.
"Look, they really did a number here," she giggled as her purple Haro turned its head and flapped its ears/wings.
"Whatever! Whatever!" it repeated and Nena smiled before she looked ahead.
"Alright, let's get to work,"
...
When the meisters reached Ptlomey, Setsuna looked over at the other meisters.
"You guys head on back to the bridge, I'll take them," and he looked back at the Rina, Sora, and Saji. "To their quarters," and the meisters nodded as they walked away. As the meisters walked away, the three of them kept glancing back at Setsuna, Rina and Sora before they all left for the bridge with great confusion. Once the meisters were gone, Setsuna saw Rina holding a fast asleep Sora in her arms before he walked over and took the four year old from Rina's arms.
"Saji Crossroad," stated Setsuna causing Saji to look up for the first time since he came back with the meisters. Saji looked back at Setsuna when he saw a small boy sleeping against the raven-haired meister's arms. His eyes widened at the sight before he noticed Rina standing beside him. Snapping his head up, he looked back at Rina who smiled softly at him.
"It's nice to see you again, Saji Crossroad," and Saji looked at Rina.
"Rina Yamato," and Rina nodded before Setsuna looked at him and signaled him to follow.
As he followed Setsuna, Saji's eyes kept wandering from the raven-haired meister towards the sleeping toddler in his arms. His brown eyes narrowed as so many questions popped up in his head. When they reached his room, Saji turned around as Setsuna started to walk away.
"Setsuna, that child-," he started and Setsuna paused before he turned around to face Saji.
"He's my son," and with that, the raven-haired meister walked away leaving a stunned Saji behind.
...
Use this room for now," stated Setsuna as he led Rina into his quarters with Sora fast asleep in his arms. Rina walked into the room and Setsuna walked over and placed Sora onto the bed before he turned back to Rina.
"Once we settle the issue at hand, I'll make sure that we get a room for you," and Rina nodded before she walked over and placed a blanket over Sora's sleeping figure and she also placed his stuffed bear into the child's arms. Setsuna watched as Rina gently stroked their son's head before she kissed his forehead. Walking over, he sat down at the edge of the bed next to her and the two of them looked at their sleeping son.
"A-laws in going to attack again," whispered Rina and Setsuna nodded before he stood up and took her hand in his. " We can talk about what happed in the past year later. We need to divert A-laws from Katharon, at least for them to get away," to which Setsuna nodded again before he and Rina left the room towards the bridge.
...
As the members of Celestial Being watched as the Katharon members scrambled around to leave the base, Lockon's eyes narrowed at the sight.
"The A-laws will be back," stated Lockon as he stared at the screen before him.
"We know that," Tieria responded when the door to the bridge opened and Setsuna walked into the bridge.
"We'll send out the gundams," and Allejiuah stepped forward.
"But what about our strategy, with Miss Sumeragi in that condition-,"
"I can come up with one," stated Rina as she walked into the bridge. Everyone excluding the meister's eyes widened at the sight of her standing before them.
"Rina!"
"Miss Yamato!"
"You were alive?!" questioned the crew members and Rina looked at them with a serious look.
"As much as I would love to catch up, I believe that helping Katharon is the first thing to do," and she paused at the sight of the Katharon forces getting aid. "I can come up with a strategy. Although, my strategies are nowhere near as good as Miss Sumeragi's," and the rest of the crew looked at her before Rina walked forward towards the helm.
"Move Ptolemy towards the coastline. It's important that we divert their attention to only us," and the crew members scrambled to their stations. Rina turned back the meisters.
"Once we reach the coastline, we'll launch the gundams. We need to create enough time for the Katharon members to safely get away from this area," and the meisters nodded before they all went to primary battle stations. As she stared at the screen before her, Rina closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she reopened them, her eyes were glowing a dark gold hue and her eyes narrowed.
"A-Laws,"
So, to compensate for such a short chapter, here is an extra of when Rina and Setsuna were living together during the 4 year hiatus of Celestial Being. Warning, there are some scenes that are seriously OOC and some of the scenes may sound cheesy but hey, leave me alone, I tried.
A for Effort...
...
2308
Rina slowly opened her eyes before she froze. Her eyes widened when she saw Setsuna's face inches from hers as his left arm was wrapped around her waist. A blush appeared on her face when she noticed Setsuna's arms on her bare waist and how their legs were entwined. She sat up and her eyes widened even more when she noticed the marks all over her body. Rina snapped her head towards Setsuna as the older meister started to wake up, When he opened his eyes, blue-violet locked with crimson. Rina felt her entire face go red before she grabbed the blanket and pulled it up to cover her body from view. As he sat up, the memories of the night before flashed in the raven-haired meister's head causing him to freeze. Looking over to his right, his eyes widened when he saw the flushed look on Rina's face as she held up the blanket to her chest, her eyes as wide as his. He saw her hands shaking as Rina held the blanket up tighter as she tried to open her mouth to speak.
"We-," she started when Setsuna grabbed her arms and pulled her into a kiss. Her eyes widened before she tried to pull away but Setsuna wrapped his arms around her waist As he deepened the kiss, Setsuna pushed her down onto the bed and he started to nip at her lips. Rina slowly closed her eyes before let go of the blanket and wrapped her arm around his neck. When he pulled away, Setsuna saw Rina's flushed face as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him. Pulling her close, he leaned forward until his forehead was against hers.
"I don't regret anything," he stated causing the coordinator to look up at him before he held her left hand to her face. The sapphire star ring stared back at her and Rina looked up to see Setsuna also holding up his left hand revealing the ruby star ring on his left ring finger. A smile formed on Rina's face as she slowly sat up and smiled up at him.
1 month later...
Humming a song, Rina walked around the one room apartment. Picking up the random clothes strewn around the room, Rina placed them in the basket in her hands. As she cleaned, Rina's mind kept wandering towards the destruction of Celestial Being. She paused from cleaning as she looked down at her hands. Its been three months since the destruction of the gundams. Three months since she and Setsuna had started to live in hiding. When they had first gained consciousness after the battle with the Flag, both of them were grief stricken as new reports of the destruction of Celestial Being reached their ears. Everyone was pronounced either dead or missing. To say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Both Rina and Setsuna were grief stricken. Everyone, everyone who had come together as a family, was now gone. Rina felt tears forming and she shook her head to rid of her thoughts. What mattered was that they were alive. The world had changed, but, it didn't change into the world she or any of the other meisters wanted. A world rid of fighting. A world full of peace.
Suddenly, a sharp pain hit her stomach and Rina gasped before she fell down to knees. The pain was unlike any of the pain from her symptoms which usually hit her entire body. Grabbing her stomach, Rina held back a scream as the pain increased. Too caught up in her pain, she failed to hear the door open before someone's voice hit her ears. Then, everything went black.
Setsuna's eyes widened as he opened the door to the apartment and he saw Rina kneeling on the ground as she held onto her stomach.
"Rina!" he yelled as he ran over but before he could say anything, she collasped onto the ground. His eyes widened even more before he hoisted her up and looked at her. "Rina," he repeated, his voice becoming frantic each time as he shook her body. He noticed that her hand was on her stomach and that her face was pale as cold sweat broke out on her face. Picking her up, he ran out the apartment towards the nearest clinic. He didn't car if he looked crazy or suspicious. All he cared about was getting Rina looked at. His grip tightened on her as he ran to the clinic.
'Don't leave me,'
...
Setsuna remained silent as he stared at Rina on the hospital bed. When he had rushed in, one of the nurses led him towards one of the many beds in the hospital. The nurse started running tests and soon after, she reassured him that a doctor would be with him soon before she walked away. Reaching over, Setsuna grasped Rina's hand and tightened his grip on it when he noticed that Rina was slowly waking up. When she opened her eyes, Rina slowly blinked a few times to let her eyes adjust to the bright lights above her.
As she laid there, the memory of the pain in her stomach hit her before her eyes widened. As she tried to sit up, pair of arms slowly helped her up. Looking over to her right, her eyes widened when she saw Setsuna staring down at her, his crimson eyes locked on her.
"What happened?" she questioned as Setsuna helped her sit up before she rubbed her stomach slowly. Setsuna noticed her actions before he saw the confused look on her face.
"You lost conscious, I brought your here," and Rina paused before she looked down at her stomach.
"The pain was nothing like the spasms from my body's deterioration," she whispered. Setsuna remained silent when the two heard footsteps approaching. Both of them looked up to see a man dressed in a white lab coat standing before them. A stethoscope was draped around his neck and in his hand, he held a file which he glanced at before he looked at Rina.
"Are you feeling alright?" he questioned and Rina nodded towards the doctor. He then looked at her paperwork again before he looked up at Rina and smiled.
"You were under some mild stress. We ran some tests, thankfully, both you and the baby are healthy,"
Both Rina and Setsuna snapped up at his words.
"Baby?" questioned Rina and the doctor looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"You didn't notice? he questioned and Rina slowly nodded. "You're four weeks pregnant," and Rina's eyes widened at his words before she looked over at Setsuna who was frozen.
"But thats-," started Rina when the doctor looked at his paperwork again.
"Let me just finish some other paper work and you're free to leave, you need to come back every once in a while to check the progress of the baby," and with a smile, he left leaving the two teenagers dumbstruck.
After the doctor left, Rina looked over at Setsuna with wide eyes.
"Setsuna-," she started but the raven-haired meister just stood up and walked out. Rina's eyes fell at his retreating figure before she looked down at her stomach.
"A baby," she whispered as she gently rubbed her stomach over and over.
Once he was out of the hospital room, Setsuna froze. A baby. The worlds kept ringing in his head over and over as he remembered what had happened a month ago.
...
They were in bed, getting ready to fall asleep when Rina had one of her spasms. As she screamed in pain, all he could do was watch, horrified at the sight of her screaming in pain. Holding her close, he tightened his grip as Rina's screams increased as the pain increased significantly.
When her spasm stopped, Rina gripped Setsuna's shirt before tears started to fall down her face. She felt Setsuna staring down at her before a pair of warm hands touched her cheeks causing her to look up. When she did, blue-violet locked with crimson and Setsuna stared down at her before he placed his lips over hers. Rina's eyes widened at Setsuna's actions before she slowly closed her eyes and returned the kiss, her arms wrapping around Setsuna's body. When they finally pulled away, Setsuna looked at Rina's flushed face before he grabbed her arms and pulled her so that he was above her. Rina looked at Setsuna and noticed how his eyes were locked with hers as he looked at her with a serious gaze. She saw the uncertainty in his eyes flash through his eyes before he reached down and kissed her forehead. Rina froze before she closed her eyes as Setsuna started to kiss her face before he kissed her neck. She let out a small gasp at the feeling of his tongue on her neck as Setsuna gently bit down on the junction of her neck and shoulder before he pulled away.
"I love you," he stated and Rina's eyes snapped open before she looked up to see Setsuna staring down at her, his crimson eyes sincere. Rina saw that he was staring down at her and she saw how his eyes darkened at her lack of response before he started to pull away when Rina reached out and grabbed his hand. Setsuna paused before he turned to see Rina's wide eyes on him before she looked down so that her bangs covered her eyes.
"I love you too," she whispered and Setsuna's eyes widened before he reached out and slammed his lips over hers. Immediately, Rina wrapped her arms around his neck as Setsuna tilted his head to deepen the kiss as the two fell back onto the bed. Setsuna stared back at Rina to see her flushed face before a small smile appeared on his face as he kissed her again.
...
Snapping out of his stupor. Setsuna stared down at his hands.
A child. His child to be exact. Setsuna looked at the ring on his hand before memories of his parents flashed in his head. He cringed at the memory of shooting his mother and father in cold blood. He didn't want his child to end up like him. He was confused on what to feel. He was scared of what was going to happen.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Rina walking towards him, he saw Rina smiling down at her stomach as she was gently rubbing it. He saw the smile on her face and he walked over to her. Rina looked up and the smile on her face disappeared before she looked away. Setsuna noticed that she clenched her fists and Setsuna saw how her eyes fell. Taking her hand, Setsuna led her out of the hospital. Ignoring her calls, Setsuna's grip on her hand tightened as he led her away from the hospital towards the apartment.
Rina remained silent as she saw Setsuna dragging her towards their apartment. Her eyes fell at the sight of his tense shoulders and she looked down at her stomach. There was no way Setsuna would want to keep the baby. But, she didn't want to get rid of it. It was her child after all.
When they were back in the apartment, Setsuna sat on the bed and let out a small sigh. Hearing footsteps, he looked up to see Rina's gaze on him as she stood in front of him.
"I'm going to keep the baby, no matter what you say," she stated and Setsuna snapped up at her words. He looked at her before anger filled him. Grabbing her arms, he slammed her into the wall causing the coordinator to cringe at the sharp pain of impact on her back. Opening her eyes, she saw Setsuna's furious gaze on hers. Her blood ran cold at the sight of his anger but she narrowed her eyes in return.
"I don't care what you think, I'm keeping this baby," she stated again and Setsuna's grip on her tightened.
"Did you really think that I wanted to get rid of it?" he stated, his voice dangerously low and Rina's eyes widened at his words. Setsuna looked up to see Rina's shocked expression on her face.
Setsuna remained silent before he let go of Rina's arms and sat back down on the bed.
"I want to keep the baby too, but," he started before he looked up at Rina. "I don't want him or her to end up like us," and Rina's eyes widened at his words before the memories of her childhood flashed in her head.
Setsuna kept his head down when Rina knelt down and hugged him.
"It'll be alright, we'll make sure that this baby doesn't end up like us," she whispered and Setsuna's eyes widened before he slowly raised his arms and held Rina close to him.
"I killed my own parents, you were given away as an experiment, both of us suffered, but, we'll raise our child differently, we'll raise him up so that he will never have to face any of the things we faced," and Rina nodded before she looked down at her stomach and smiled.
...
"Setsuna!" called Rina and the raven-haired meister turned around to see his 8 month pregnant wife standing at the doorway. A smile adorned her face before she looked down at her big stomach.
"The baby's kicking again," she whispered and Setsuna walked over and placed his head against her stomach. He felt the baby kicking against his ear and a small smile appeared on his face before he looked up to see Rina smiling down at him.
"What should we name him?" she questioned and Setsuna paused at her words before he closed his eyes.
"Sora,"
"Sora?" questioned Rina and Setsuna nodded before a smile appeared on Rina's face before she looked down at her stomach.
"It won't be long until we finally get to see him," she smiled as she rubbed her stomach. Setsuna nodded before he placed a hand on her stomach.
"Yeah,"
...
Setsuna's eyes narrowed as he looked down at Rina who was screaming in pain. He glanced back at the clock and silently cursed. Rina had been in labor for more than six hours now. He looked back at his wife and saw her pained face before he reached out and grasped her hand. Rina looked up and offered a small smile towards him before a wave of pain hit her again. Rina gritted her teeth as she heard the midwife saying encouraging things to her as the pain increased. She looked back at Setsuna who held her hand tightly before she looked back at her stomach.
"You need to push!" yelled the midwife as she saw the baby's head start to appear and Rina nodded as she pushed with all of her strength. Rina fell back against the bed with labored breaths as the pain in her body increased.
"Rina!" yelled Setsuna when he noticed that Rina was losing consciousness. Rina slowly opened her eyes before she looked over at him and he saw the exhaustion in her eyes.
"It hurts," she whispered before another wave of pain hit her and Rina's eyes closed as she screamed. Setsuna's eyes widened before his grip on her hand tightened. Silently, he was praying.
Rina opened her eyes again as she saw Setsuna's concerned face on hers along with the midwife urging and cheering her on. Pain hit her again and Rina gritted her teeth. The pain was increasing and Rina held back her screams as she used all of her energy to push. She could hear all the noises around her and she closed her eyes and pushed.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby's cry filled the area and Rina's eyes snapped open at the sound.
"Congratulations, its a healthy boy!" smiled the midwife as she handed a small flailing bundle to Setsuna. The raven-haired meister looked at the bundle in his arms with wide eyes. A small black haired crying baby was in his arms. Words could not describe what he was feeling as Setsuna saw the baby flailing its arms before he gently cradled the baby.
"Setsuna," called Rina snapping the older meister out of his stupor. Looking over, he saw Rina's eyes on him before it moved to the small bundle in his arms. Walking over, Setsuna sat on the edge on the bed as Rina slowly sat up while Setsuna used one of arms to hold her up as Rina looked at the baby in his arms. Gently, Setsuna placed their baby in Rina's arms as his arm wrapped around her. When she looked at the flailing bundle, a pair of the bluest eyes she had ever seen stared back at her as a small smile formed on the baby's face. A smile appeared on Rina's face before she looked over at Setsuna.
"Look," she whispered and she turned so that Setsuna could see the baby's eyes. When he did, Setsuna's eyes widened at the sight of his son's cheerful eyes on his as the baby held up its arms towards him. Leaning her head against Setsuna's shoulder, she sighed and Setsuna smiled down at the baby.
"Our baby," whispered Rina and Setsuna nodded before he gentled took the baby's hand in his.
"Sora,"
Well?
What did you guys think?
There were some scenes in this chapter that made me cringe at the cheesiness and the OOCness of some of the characters but I repeat, I tried. I'm not perfect, there's only so much I can do and write..
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I will get back to plotting and typing out the next chapter!
Bye Bye!
