75. Daddy?

Tomoe froze up as Mizuki choked and cried in front of them, Something wasnt right, what he didn't know.. Until he said his mother was invovled.

Oh no..

Areno looked at Tomoe shcoked and slightly confused before Tomoe hopped off the couch. Nanami was on top of the stairs and gasped lightly as she covered her mouth and looked at Tomoe in shock. Gwen-who was in the kitchen- darted to the white haired teen and hugged him gently whiel Tomoe bit his lip weakly.

He didn't know what to do! He didn't have a clue! They didn't have a car because his father took it, why? Because he left him and left him alone... Tomoe honestly didn't know how long; Maybe it was for good and he would never see his father again... for some reason down deep inside he hoped so.

He really did..

Tomoe got up and swallowed before looking over at Areno, the black haired fox sighed out rather quickly and nodded,

" Everyone in my car." He snapped, ' Rii.. You might have to stay behind since I don't that many seats.' he whispered before she smiled and kissed his nose. The black haired fox smiled gently... for some reaosn..

This felt like he was finally making it up to Tomoe and his sister. His dead sister that he had promised... To take care of her boy; and now he got to. It was the best second chance he had ever gotten.. and he never wanted to let it go.. never again.

She smiled gently,
" Go.. " She whispere,d "And Keep your promise.' She smiled before the black haired fox blinked and almost choked, he held it in and hugged her before nodding.

" Thank you Rii.' he whispered and then turned towards the panicking teens,

" File your butts into the car or get left behind.' He then smirked slightly, ' I drive fast.' he smiled gently whiel Nanami nodded and ran outside after her mother helped her pull on some loose clothes.'

She then slipped into the back seat along with Tomoe and Gwen, Tomeo buckled her up as Mizuki got to sick beside Areno. The snake felt sick to the stomach.. he didn't know what to do.

They said he had to say goodbye..

But he wasn't ready! HE DIDN"T WANT TO LOOSE HER! Curse Cancer! He didn't want this to happen, he was so scared.. he didn't want to loose her. If he did he'd be all alone, Even if Tomoe did loose his father... He was not alone.

But he would be.

Mizuki choked in panic before Tomoe leaned forward and patted his shoulder, he kept his other hand over Nanami to hold her in place as the car sped off towards the hopsital. Tomoe swore Areno knew people that was in the law if not he probably would of gone to jail for everything that was going on.'

So when they jerked into the ER parking Tomoe coudl of sworn he looked like a cat with its hair spiked up on all sides. Nanami had actaully held her stoamch and nearly started to pray in panic while Gwen was quiet and trying to breath.

WHAT THE CRAP!?

Areno on the other hand unbuckled and Mizuki acted unfazed because of the state he was in.. He nearly jumped out of the car when it finally stopped and Tomoe had to get out shakingly.. Nanami was more okay then he was and that was saying alot since she had a baby in her system.

Gwen got out and ran in with them all but once they entered only Mizuki was allowed to go back. He looked at them weakly.. his eyes watery.

Why did this have to happen? Out of all times?

Tomeo remembered Miss Yonomoir.. She was so young, sweet and kind. She had the smile of an angel and she always treated everyone like her freinds and family. Tomoe was like a second son and she was so sweet when she held him when his mother died. She had held him and calmed him down once he lost his everything..

And she gave his hope..

And now.. That hope was dying in the other room.

She had held in for a long time, She had fought for her life.. btu apparently the disease had other thoughts for her. She had a son, adopted.. but at least he had someone that he could look to and get advice.

Tomoe had Nanami and Gwen, but Mizuki? What did he have? And who did he have exactly? The white haired fox choked and looked down, his eyes watered before he tried to calm down.. but it was hard.

Nurses were rushing about them, but for some reson it wasn't real... Its like they passed slowly, and Mizuk was caught in the middle of it all. It was all for his mom, and Tomoe watched him slightly and sadly..

He remembered screaming for his mom, wanting to see her, but not being able to because of the metal in her stomach.. They said it was grussome, and the child didn't know what to do at his age other then scream and cry. He never saw her again after that.. and the two kids that was there and hugged him..

Was Kurama and Mizuki. The small Mizuki and the older Kurama.. He didn't understand why they stayed by him like that, But they did.. Even though he lost so much. Tomoe swallowed as Mizuki choked and ran back into the room.

A nurse came over to them and directed them to a waiting room before looking at Nanami confused and blinking.

" Ma'am..Are you here for a check-up?" she blinked before Nanami looked at her and then shook her head weakly. She placed a hand on her small baby bump and blushed, in a way it made Tomoe want to cuddle her... Which only made him blush and look down.

" U-Um no.." She whispered, " I-I'm here for a friend of mine.' She smiled weakly before the women shook her head and looked at her stomach.

" Sweetheart.. I'd have a checkup while your here.' She smiled gently, " After all, You should be having your first check up soon, right?" She smiled before Nanami blinked. She opened her mouth to decline before Gwen nodded and sighe dout,

' Okay.. Go ahead and take her back." She smile dbefore Nanami yelped.

" B-BUT MOMMA!' She whined before Gwen smiled gently and then hugged her. She bit her lip and sighed out,

" We're loosing Yonomori.. I don't want to loose my grandchild to." She whispered before Nanami nodded and hugged her back, she looked over her mother's shoulder at Tomoe.. The fox blinked and looked down shyly. It was true.. they had to check up on her stomach since she hit it last..

It made him feel horrible, but he had to this for her as well.

" Okay." He whiserped and nodded at Nanami, The girl blinked but smiled gently as he sighe dout and bit her lip as she looked at the nurse,

' Okay.. We'll do it.' She smiled before the woman smiled and then paused when she looked at Tomoe,

" Hes?" She muttered before Nanami smiled weakly,

' The father..' She whispered before the woman blinked but nodded gently.

' Alright.. follow me..' She smiled gently as she chuckled and walked them back. Tomoe swallowed slightly and bit his lip as he walked back and sighed out with them to the materity ward. He felt bad, he was there for Yonomori.. but this had to be done too. He knew this..

So...

So be it.

Mizuki swallowed as the doctor sighed out and bit his lip, He was walking into the room after the doctor explained everything to him. His mom had been taken off life support not to long ago.. and now she was leaving the world in severe pain.

It was a miracle she had held in so long.. And now? Mizuki didn't know if he was as strong as she was, because he felt himself choke and start to cry when they doctor told him, he tried to calm him down.. But it was no use.

She was dying and if she didn't she'd be in pain for the rest of her life. She was young, and that meant years of pain.. and then she coudl die anyway. This was the best opinion.. and the snake-deep down- knew this.

So when the doctor patted his back and oepned the door? And Mizuki saw his frail, pale and skinny mother on that bed..

He froze and wanted from this horrible room of pain. He choked up and nearly screamed in panic, he almost lost it before Yonomori gently turned her head towards him and smiled gently.

Mizuki froze up, his eyes wide as he stared at her...

How was it possibel that she could smile? How coudl she smile and laugh weakly.. How coudl she ask him to come closer when she was like this? The snake was shocked before lifting his feeta nd slwoly walking towards her.

He didn't know whyhe felt nervous, maybe because he knew that this was the last time he'd see her with her eyes open, no more good morning.. No more I love yous and no more happiness from his , 'Momma'.

So when he realized this with each step, he let the tears fall, and he soon didn't care that he bailed and cried. He didn't care when he cried and leaned his head on her stomach, he didn't care when they got her blanket wet.. this was the last time he was going to see her alive.

The next would be a dead, makeup covered body in a coffin.

And he couldn't stand the thought of loosing her like that... He cried and choked before the woman smiled gently and stroked his head. This made him look up, his eyes red and puffy as he stared at her.

She smiled weakly and swallowed dispite the oxegyn in his nose, she opened her muth and sighed out gently,

" M-Mizuki.' She whispered and smiled, " Don't cry sweetie.." She whispered gently as Mizuki choked and shook his head as he cried. Panic in his body as he looked at her sharply and choked,

" How can you say that! Your dying!" He cried out before Yonomori smiled gently and patted his head gently,

" No sweetie... " She whispered, " I'm not.." She smiled weakly before Mizuki twitched and suddenly snapped,

" STOP IT!' he cried, " I KNOW YOU ARE!" He whined as she smiled weakly nd gently reached to her side. She pulled out a sheet of paper and placed it in his hand,

" Give that to Tomoe and Kurama..' She whispered gently as she looked at Mizuki, She then kissed his head and winced weakly before swallowing and biting her lip slightly,

" Mizuki... Momma isn't going to die.." She smiled gently as she gently reached forward and touched his chest, she sighed out and smiled weakly, " I will always be with you. I'm in your heart, and in your memories, I'd onyl die if you let me.' She smiled gently as Mizuki blinked and held her hand.

He held her fragil hand to his chest before he choked up and whined, " Mo-Momma.. I don't want t loose you.. I need you.' He choked as hot tears slipped down his face ; but the woman only smiled gently and sighed out.

" No you don't baby." She smiled before Mizuki looked at her shocked, she then swallowed and sighed out as she started to open her chapped lips. She then smiled and strked her face. She was truggling to say what she was getting ready to say.. and Mizki knew this.. This was he last speech to him.. her last advice.. And it tore him up on the inside.

He choked before she smiled gently and opened her mouth,

" I want to tell you this... " She whispered in pain, " Life... Its something you can't replace. But don't think that Life disappears.. it never does.. because you can keep that person alive in your memories.' She whispered and smiled , ' And With Life, You need the one thing that is far more improtant.. and that... Is.. " She choked and swallowed before Mizuki looked at her weakly.. She whined in pain and tried to breath before Mizuki choked up and whined.

' Please.. Please don't leave me..' He cried out and nearly screamed as she got a peice of paper and gently wrote a few words down. She cried and choked finally... after all that time, after all those years.. She finally cried.

She choked and kissed his head before choking and gently biting her lip.. She then laid her head back and made Mizuki scream.. pain in his chest as she slowly slipped away.. her eyes faded from their beauitful light and Mizuki cried and nearly screamed out in pain..

But he had no time to mourn as the doctors rshed in and yanked him out, he wasn't allowed in there when they checked over her.. and so he was there standing in the over busy hallway.. Staring ahead with silent tears running down his face.. He clenched the paper his mother gave him...

" Excuse us sir but please move.." A mna muttered making Mizuki blink and nod weakly as he walked farther and farther away from his mother... from his everything. When he looked up he realized he was in the maternity ward.. he blinked and slowly looked at the babies through the glass..

Huh...

Mizuki choked and swallowed as he leaned his head against the glass and wailed, tears running down his face when he looked at them.. At least they were Alive! He choked out in pain before he heard a small laugh and a chuckle.. and for some reason he turned his head and paused..

He then noticed a door cracked slightly before walking over to it and pearing in... and then inside was Tomoe and Nanami. He swallowed and choked before seeing Tomoe smile gently and kiss Nanamis hand.

The girl relaxed slightly before Mizuki saw a moving picture on a moniter.. and for some reason he sucked his breath in. The pain seemed to melt a little... and he froze when he saw a baby like blob on the screen.. Hsi eyes grew wide before his finger finally reconized the paper that his mother hand given him.

'And With Life, You need this one thing that is far more Important, '

And the snake choked when he saw the beauitful words that melted away the pain the most.. he choked and rubbed his eyes as he cried.

' And with Life, You need this one thing that is far more important, And that..Mizuki.. Is

'Love.'

I love you sweetie.. Keep me alive.'

Momma..'

Mizuki choked and covered his mouth, and for once he got it.. He would of never understood if he had not seen the babies.. and Tomoe and Nanami as they looked at their little creation.. But for some reason.. in the depths of his heart.

He understood perfectly..

Mizuki swalowed and bit his lip before the door came open and Mizuki saw Kurama. Kurama looked at her sternly before chking and screaming,

" YOU IDIOT!" And hugging him. Mizuki paused and arched his brow weakly before looking at him and sighing out,

" Why am I stupid right now?" He whined and sniffed as he tried to stop crying.. but Kurama then just shrugged and smiled weakly,

" I always wanted to do that.. Barg in, call someone and idiot and then hug them.. " he smiled weakly whiel Mizuki shook his head.

' Your head is to much into the TV Busniess I swear Tengu-kun.' he smiled weakly before Kurama smiled weakly and hugged him..

Mizuki got it now...

Even if it took him a little while, and even if it took his adoptive brothers a little while.

He got it..

Nanami smiled slightly as She looked at Tomoe, The doctor had found the babies heart beat.. And surprising it was healthy, even after the hit. A bit weak but still fighting and strong... Nanami would of cried, but.. she was too happy.. and slightly worried for Mizuki.

Tomoe on the other hand went silent when he saw the image.. and his hand tightened on hers..

They were looking at their miracle. They're beautiful picture that they had made all in one night.. That child that was inside her.. Was theirs to hold and to keep forever.

And she loved it..

Nanami smiled gently and held Tomoe's hand before he leaned over to her and gently kissed her, his lips lingered before he whined and kissed her more. The doctor of course shook this off and sighd out.

She was used to seeing this and she had a husband herself, and the men usually were kind of passionate when they found out they were gonna be daddies. Hers sure was.. She smiled gently before Tomoe kissed her again a small.

" Thats so gross Tomoe-kun.' Sounded through the air.

Tomoe froze up and jerked his head towards the door to see Mizuki smiling weakly at him, But Tomoe's mind snapped from Nanami to him rather quickly, he stood up.. even though he was embarrassed, and swallowed.

" W-Well?" He whispered before Kuama winced and looked down. Mizuki then looked at Tomoe and smiled weakly, he nodded and bit his lip as he looked down.

' Mom is no more..' He whispered gently before Tomoe's smile dropped and he swallowed. He then gently hugged Mizuki and sighed out weakly,

" I'm sorry..' He whispered before Mizuki smiled weakly and hugged him,

" Its okay.." Mizuki smiled and tried not to cry, " I'm going to keep her alive..In my memories.' He smiled before Tomoe paused.. and then smiled as he hugged him. He wished someone would of told him that years ago.. but at least Mizuki had it.

Thats when Kurama gasped and poked the baby moniter, " Is that the little squirt!" he laughed, ' Its adorable!" he cooed before Nanami giggled and smiled.

' Yeah it is.. But we don't know what it is yet.' She smiled gently and stroked her tummy before Tomoe smirked and paused. He put a hand on his mouth before smiling brightly,

" Boy! He grinned before Nanami shook her head.

' My family has girls and girls only.' She smirked before Tomoe lauhed.

' Ah yes.. But I'm a Yokai, I'm sure a Yokai gene can break that curse at least once." He smirked befroe Kurama gagged and Mizuki whined.

' Guys flirt when we're not in the room... " Kurama muttered before mizuki smirked. Tomoe on the other hand rolled his eyes.. At least they were together in this right? He smiled gently and helped Nanami up.. and soon they had their papers and were let out..

But they weren't expecing to be walking down the hallway and to be stopped by a tall man with brown hair. When Tomoe saw him he bared his teeth and backed up, His tail wagging. Kurama glared darply whiel Mizuki slitted his snake like eyes..

But all that could be heard through all the growls and snaps in the hospital? Was this...

' Nanami?"

Nanami froze up and backed up before placing a hand on her tummy, guarding it before these words slipping out,

' Daddy?'
