Eternal Gaiden 8: The Birth

Several months had passed after the babyshower with their friends, Sala was almost due to give birth to her and Kyoya's child.

They were in a room Dr. Gecko provided for the Princess, as she was lying on the bed wearing medical clothing as Kyoya was seated beside her while holding her hand, and while the doctor was checking on her.

"I hope you're excited as I am, Princess. It won't be long now until your child is born." Dr. Gecko told her.

"Thank you, doctor." Sala said.

"You know, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're hoping that it will be a boy." Kyoya stated.

"I wouldn't be surprised by that." Sala chuckles in amusement, and Dr. Gecko coughs a few times.

"Well either way, I know for a fact that everyone else has been looking forward to this for a long time." Dr. Gecko told them.

"She's not wrong there." Sala said.

"Yeah, way to give me even more pressure…" Kyoya mutters, and Sala notices something about that.

"Kyoya, is something wrong?" She asked, and Kyoya flinches.

"What? No nothing wrong! I'm totally relaxed!" Kyoya said as he showed her a force smile, and she wasn't convinced by that.

"Kyoya, you know that I can tell that something's wrong. Just be honest with me." Sala told him.

Kyoya thought about it before he sighs.

"Okay, I know we've talked about this...but I'm still a little nervous and worried about being a parent." Kyoya told her.

"You're still worried about that?" Sala asked and Kyoya nodded.

"Yeah...it's been on my mind for a while." Kyoya said as he rubs the back of his neck.

Sala hummed as she thought about it.

"Then you should talk to someone about it." She told him, and Kyoya was surprised to hear that.

"What?! No I can't do that! Especially today, of all days." Kyoya stated.

"It will be fine. The baby won't be here for a while. You should use this chance to work some things out." Sala assured him.

Kyoya thought about it before nodding.

"Alright, I'll do that. Dr. Gecko, be sure to call me if something happens." Kyoya told the doctor.

"I will don't worry." Dr. Gecko assured him.

Kyoya was seen in front of a door to a house as he knocked on it.

"Coming!" The door opens and one who opens it is Lamia. "Oh Kyoya-san? What are you doing here?"

"I'm...here to ask for advice." Kyoya tells her, and Lamia blinks before she realizes what was going on.

"Oh I see. Come in then." Lamia said as she let Kyoya walk into her home.

They were now seated on the couch and chair of the living room as Lamia made tea as she poured two cups for herself and Kyoya.

"Here you go." Lamia said as she put the teapot down.

"Thank you." Kyoya said as he picks up his cup and drinks the tea.

"So are you here to talk about your child?" Lamia asks and Kyoya clinches as he coughs after he accidentally chokes on his tea.

Kyoya's cough ceases as he lightly punches on his chest.

"Yeah...that's about half right. I'm mostly worried if I'm going to be a good father." Kyoya told her.

"What do you mean?" Lamia asked.

"Well...I'm just worried if I'll screw up somehow. I mean I have no idea how to be a father, especially since I don't remember my own father. What if I screw up somehow and make some mistakes?" Kyoya asked.

Lamia thought about it before she gave her answer.

"If it means anything, I lost both of my parents when I was 10." Lamia told him, and Kyoy was shocked to hear that.

"What? Really?" Kyoya asked and Lamia nodded.

"It was during a mission to reclaim Aura. You can figure out the rest." Lamia said and Kyoya did understand what happened, they were most likely killed by past pilots of Arzenal only to be used by Embryo.

"I see. I'm sorry to hear that." Kyoya said.

"It's alright. I can understand what you're going through. After I found out I was pregnant with Mii, I was a little scared as well. I also worry if I'll be a good mother to her, but after she was born I fully understand the happiness of being a mother, and it was really hard for me after I lost her for years." Lamia said before she placed her hand on his shoulder. "Listen to me, Kyoya-san, we all make mistakes, that's what makes us human. But we can still learn from those mistakes and move forward. And you shouldn't forget that you were still raised by a loving parent, and that made you into a good man and I have no doubt that you'll be a perfect father for your child."

Kyoya was stunned to hear that before he remembered his mother, and how much she loved and cared for him.

"Yeah...You're right, thanks for that, Lamia-san." Kyoya told her.

"It's alright. I'm glad I was able to help." She told him.

They soon heard his Stag Phone ringing.

"Sorry, I'll get that." Kyoya said as he brought out and answered his Phone. "Hello?"

"Kyoya-san, it's me!" Dr. Gecko answered. "It's time!"

Kyoya's eyes widened as he understood what she meant.

Sala was screaming as her baby was almost here, as Dr. Gecko and her assistants were getting ready when it arrived.

"Remember princess, take slow but deep breaths!" Dr. Gecko told her, and Sala did just that. "That's it just like that!"

"Sala!" The doctor and nurses looked and saw Kyoya had returned as he opened the door. "I'm so sorry! I should've got here sooner!"

He was about to rush to Sala's side, but one of the nurses got in front of him and turned him around and began to push him out of the door.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Kyoya asked as he tried to break free from her hold.

"I'm sorry, Kyoya-sama. But you have to wait outside while we work." She told him as she pushed him out of the room. "We can't have any distractions."

"Wait, don't I get a say in this?!" Kyoya asked and got his answer as the nurse slammed the door in front of him and locked it, and Kyoya lowered his head. "Great…"

Sala continues to breathe and screams a few times.

"That's it, Salamandinay-sama! Just breathe and push! You're doing great!" Dr. Gecko told her.

Kyoya was waiting by the door of Sala's room, as he was seated on a chair with his fingers interlocking against each other and his hands in front of his face as he was tapping his foot on the floor as he was both worried and nervous for his wife and their soon to be born child while praying that they'll both be alright.

He soon heard a baby's cry, causing him to smile as he looked up at the ceiling.

After being told he can come in now, Kyoya quickly entered the room, and rushed to Sala's side as she was breathing slowly.

"Sala, are you okay?" Kyoya asked in worry.

"Don't worry...I'm fine...but more importantly look…" Sala said weakly before she and Kyoya turned to Dr. Gecko.

They saw the said doctor standing by a baby crib as Dr. Gecko gently wrapped a blanket around their newborn child.

"Congratulations to the both of you. It's a healthy baby boy." Dr. Gecko told them.

Kyoya walked to the crib and saw his son lying in it as he was sleeping soundly. He had black hair like him and Sala.

"Go ahead and hold your son." Sala told him.

Kyoya was a little hesitant but he slowly reached out and gently picked up his son as he held him on his arms.

His newborn son opens his eyes to reveal that they were blue like his and Sala, his son smiles at Kyoya as he chuckles and Kyoya smiles back at him.

(Later)

An hour had passed after their son was born, their friends soon arrived to look at him as Sala was carrying him on her arms.

"Ah man look at him." Hayate said as he was taken in by the baby's cuteness.

"He's cute, but he's also a little handsome. Just like his father." Kaname said.

"Wow...so this is a baby boy." Vivian said as she pokes on the baby's chokes but was a little too hard which caused him to cry, which surprised them as Vivian quickly removed her finger and Sala tried to calm down her son.

"There, there, it's alright." Sala said she gently rocks her son and he slowly calms down.

"Mii…" Lamia said, and Vivian lowered her head in sadness.

"I'm sorry you guys." Vivian said.

"It's alright. It's just a minor mistake. We don't mind." Kyoya told her as he patted her on the head.

"But still congratulations to the both of you." Ersha told them.

"Thank you, Ersha." Sala said.

"So do you guys have any names in mind?" Ken asked.

Kyoya and Sala turned at each other with a smile on their faces before they turned to their friends.

"We already did actually." Kyoya said.

"That's right. We had a name in mind if it was going to be a girl, but we also had something in mind for a boy as well." Sala said.

"Well what is it then?" Ken asked.

Kyoya and Sala then look at their son.

"Sei." They both said, and their son chuckles happily.

"I guess he likes it." Hayate said.

"Agreed." Kaname said.

Both Kyoya and Sala look at their son with loving smiles.

"I just know for a fact he'll grow up to be strong and kind as you are." Sala said.

"And brave and spirited as you are too." Kyoya stated.

"Then I guess it will be a good thing we'll be there for him. To watch over him as he grows up with every step he takes." Sala said as she gently traced her finger on her son's forehead.

"Yeah." Kyoya said as he gently tickles Sei on the head, causing his newborn son to chuckle.

(18 years later)

Standing on top of a ruined building was a young man.

The young man was 18 years old, black hair and blue eyes and has wings colored in ocean blue and emerald green on the inside part, has an ocean blue tail with a diamond-shape tip and little emerald green feelers on it.

He was wearing a blue long coat over a black dress shirt, white armband on forearms, dark blue hakama pants, a necklace with a blue gem. He was also carrying a tachi in his hand, it resembles Valimar's sword from the Trails of Cold Steel series, that is colored blue with gold highlights with a silver blade and has a dragon head on the bottom of the grip and has a blue gem in the middle between the handle and blade, and had a black sheath with blue flames on the sides, that covered the blade as he was holding it by the sheath.

This was Sei the son of Kyoya and Salamandinay, and prince of the Freyja.

Sei was looking at the landscape in front of him as it was a wasteland with molten lava in some areas, water had also overflowed the land, and the skies above were completely covered by dark thunder clouds.

Sei tightens his hand on his sword as he looks at the wasteland in front of him.

To Be Continued...

There you have it, I hope that you like it. Please review to tell me what you think.

Special thanks to bloodyredrose for helping for the idea of this, and for the character designs of Sei as well.
