Until, she handed me a baby.
I was banging on her door, asking her exactly what the hell she was doing. When I heard something break and some kind of noise, I punted the door off its hinges. Usually, she keeps her room clean but it wasn't clean, actually, her bed was a mess and there was spots of blood everywhere before they led to a trail, which lead to the bathroom. The door was cracked and I heard her breathing. While I was asking if she was okay, I opened the door more to her holding out a bundle. She told me, "It's a girl."
I was scared. The whole thing didn't feel real but I took the baby anyway, before she passed out. At first, I didn't know as to what to think or what to do. By that point, the baby started crying and I was damn well searching for a phone. I got one and I wasn't sure who to call before I just dialed the emergency number. They came and took her.
I was left holding the baby. The whole thing still didn't feel real and, honestly, I was trying put the pieces together. Maybe this is a really weird dream and I'm gonna wake up. The baby was still crying, so I knew it wasn't a dream and that I was awake. I mean, up until, now, I didn't even know the baby was gonna come but the idea was hard as hell to believe.
However, what happened before this was beside the point, so I decided to do something about the baby crying. She's hungry, right? Babies like food. I ran around holding this baby, wondering what exactly I was supposed to feed her. Damn! Well, Sis didn't have anything like bottles, diapers, or anything like that around the house, so I decided to call Mako. I told her it was important and that she had to bring bottles and whatevers. She came with the bottles and whatevers, asking, "So why do you need this stuff?" I was hesitant but I told showed her the baby to which she got a funny look and asked me if the baby was mine.
"No, but it's a girl."
"Okay, where did she come from?"
"Uhhhh..."
"It's okay, you can tell me?"
"Um, well,..."
"Did you find her?"
"Not exactly."
"Well, how did she get here?"
"Erm, well, she was born, today."
"Okay, that's cool and all but who delivered her into this world?"
I wasn't really sure how to answer that, so I brought Mako to the room and showed her. "Ryuuko-chan, you shouldn't lie." she said, giving the "you did something bad" look. I told her that I wasn't lying and that, if I was, then the baby would look more like me, than Sis, along with the fact that I'd be in the hospital. She wanted me to prove it, to which I asked, "You want me to get ass naked?"
Well, she believed me and said, "Okay, let's get her a diaper on and fix up a bottle." We did that and the baby was fine. Mako, on the other hand, had a lot of questions like how come I didn't know the baby was coming and why Sis didn't say anything about the baby coming.
"Well, damn, I don't know heads or tails as to how I'd answer that question, Mako."
"Well, didn't you notice something weird?"
"Eh, kind of, I mean, in all the times we got into it, I would wuss out and not hit her back, the times she ate more than I did, and the fact that she'd got from fine to looking like she wanted to throw something."
"Anything else?"
"She was getting big around the middle and damn sure wasn't coming from the food she was eating."
"Hmm, does the baby have a name?"
"No, not really."
She suggested that we give her a name, since, according to her, "all things needs a name". I told her that I wasn't sure as to what I should call her, to which she rattled off a list of suggestions, to which the only one that made any sense was "Junko". Mako looked at me and said, "Okay, let's call her that."
While Junko was sleeping, Mako and I had a conversation about why Sis didn't tell anyone. The thing we came to was that Sis had to have known but, either way, she never told anyone, so we had to wonder why. Mako suggested that Sis was scared and I was confused as hell as to why.
"Mako, why would she be scared and scared of what, exactly?"
"Well, sometimes, when a lady gets pregnant, she gets scared and doesn't tell anyone for whatever the hell."
"But she could have told me."
"Yes, she could have but maybe she didn't because she was scared and, well, maybe there's other reasons."
"Like what?"
"Well, reasons like maybe the dad isn't in the picture anymore or it's because she's young."
"What do we tell everyone else, especially the Short Dude?"
"I don't know but I guess the right thing would be for Satsuki to tell them."
"And if she doesn't tell 'em?"
"I guess that's a bridge were gonna have to cross when we get to it."
