Chapter 83 I'm Here Now
Kohane's POV

Akito, An and I were rushing through the hospital, but we came to a stop when until we reached a hallway…which was filled with our friends: who were all holding onto each other and crying.

Akito then began looking around, until he spotted the person he was looking for.

"Toya", he exclaimed, before rushing up to him and putting his hands on his shoulders.

"Akito", Toya breathed out weakly.

"Toya", Akito said softly.

Then, with tears falling from his eyes, Toya clung tightly onto Akito.

"Akito", he cried out. "She's…she's…"

"Cry as much as you need to, Toya", Akito said, before pulling Toya closer to him. "I'm here. I'm right here."

As Akito comforted Toya, I turned to look into a nearby hospital room. When I did…I felt as my heart had stopped beating in my chest.

Tsukasa was sitting by the side of a hospital bed, holding onto the hand of a person who laid covered in a white sheet on top of it. And sticking out of that sheet…was blonde hair with pinks tips.

"Saki-Chan", I said: tears starting to fall from my eyes.

Then…I fell to my knees and started crying fully.

"Saki-Chan", I cried out.

Then, I felt someone wrap their arms around me.

"There there, Kohane. I'm here. I'm right here."

After An said this, she pulled away slightly from me. Then, she looked up at Toya.

"He needs us right now, Kohane."

After An said this, I also looked at Toya, before nodding.

Then, An grabbed onto my hand, and we walked up to Akito and Toya before kneeling down besides them. Afterwards, An put her hand in Toya's shoulder, which got him to look up at her.

"You know", she started. "When Nagi-San died, my mom told me that the tears we cry when we grief water the flowers in heaven."

After An said this…she looked up at everybody who was crying.

"So many people are crying right now", she said, as tears starting falling from her own eyes. "That means that…Saki is going to see so many beautiful flowers."

After An said this, even more tears began falling from Toya's eyes.

Then, we all wrapped our arms around him.

Toya's POV

As I cried in my teammates embrace…I suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying.

When I heard it, I looked up…and I saw Himawari in a baby carrier strapped to An's chest.

As I watched An trying to comfort her…I was suddenly reminded of another baby girl.

As soon as I remembered her…I suddenly stood up, before rushing down the hall.

"Toya", I heard Akito call out.

But I didn't stop. I continued to run…until I came a large glass window.

When I reached this window…I spotted something behind it that immediately stopped me in my tracks.

I looked down through the window, and I saw…a baby girl. A baby girl with two-tome blue hair just like mine.

As soon as I saw her…I moved back from the window before rushing through the door which led to the nursery she was in.

I then rushed to where she was…before looking down at her in awe.

I slowly reached my hand out to her, and when it was close enough to her…she grabbed onto my finger.

She then opened her eyes…revealing them to be pink, just like her mother's.

When I saw this, I was overcome with so much sadness that I nearly collapsed to the floor. Luckily, my partner was there to catch me, just like he always was.

"I know it hurts, Toya", he said. "But…this little girl needs you."

After Akito said this…I took a closer look at the baby that was still holding onto my finger, and when I did…a small smile came to my face.

Afterwards…the baby began to cry, so I took her into my arms and held her close to me.

"It's okay, sweetheart", I said. "I'm here now. Daddy's here now."

After I said this, I looked up, and saw that the rest of my teammates had joined us.

"Toya", An started. "I know how much it hurts to lose someone. But…you guys were there to help me through that pain. So now…now let us help you!"

"We're here for you, Aoyagi-Kun", Kohane added.

Then, Akito put his hand on my shoulders.

"Always."

With my teammates with me…I was able to smile a little bit.

"Everyone", I said with tears in my eyes. "Thank you."

After I said this, my teammates all gave me a nod.

Then…we all took a closer look at the baby.

"Aoyagi-Kun", Kohane started. "What's her name?"

After being asked this, I began thinking. Then…I remembered one of the last things Saki had said to me.

Remember the name Onii-Chan suggested? Please give her that name, Toya-Kun.

Once I remembered this…I knew what to name my daughter.

"Her name…is Stella. Aoyagi Stella."
