°●•◇•●° Chapter 15: The Anticipated Day °●•◇•●°

It was already a week past Yukiko's due date, but the baby was nowhere to be seen. Everyone was on edge, especially the young woman, who had been trying to mentally prepare herself for the past nine months for hat exact moment.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. However, before calling the midwife lile the first time, they were trained to take care of it by themselves in such situation.
She had to count the time between the contractions and if they were regular enough.
"It started again, Toji-kun, call the midwife. Say that the time between the contractions is about 5 minutes." She said and groaned in pain.
"Okaa-san, are you okay?" Thelittle Tsumiki asked, holding her hand in her small ones.
"Yeah, I think your baby brother decided to finally come out." She laughed, but was reminded of the pain by doing so once again.
"I got the hospital bag ready too. It in the hallway." Toji answered quickly.
"Toji-kun, I think my water broke..." She said, sensing something wet beneath her.
Tears started streaming down her face, as she tried to not scream. Tsumiki was there, she couldn't traumatise a kid.
"Okaa-san, are you crying?" She asked, wiping away her tears.
"These are tears of happiness, darling." Yukiko lied through her teeth, barely being able to hold her sanity together.
Her husband helped her up, as she got in the car that they rented for this exact reason.
Yukiko sat in a very uncomfortable position in the car, due to how small it was.
After they got to the clinic, they were given a room to be monitored by the nurses every time she had contractions. The started to have them stronger than usual and more frequent.
"The cervix is 10cm dilated." She nurse told Dr. Nakamura.
Apparently, Yukiko had an allergy to the pain reliever, so she had to go through literal hell without any assistance.
"Let's begins then." The doctor said and got everything ready. Tsumiki was left outside, a bit further from the room so she won't hear the screams of her mother.
"Hold my hand, darling." Toji said out of sympathy towards his wife.
"What are you feeling, Fushiguro-san?" The nurse asked a dumb question.
"I feel like watermelon is coming into of my vagina, thanks." She sarcastically remarked, making the man beside her crack up a little.
"And women go through this shit more than once?" She screamed yet again, holding onto Toji's hand for dear life. E felt as if she was going to crush his hand, but kept silent, as respect towards his wife.
"I need some booze, Nakamura-san..." She woman said, hallways dazed and numb from all the pain she was feeling. Tears kept unwillingly spilling all over her face.
"A little more, Fushiguro-san." The nurse encouraged her, but the poor woman was close to passing out from the pain.
She weakly just uttered bunch of bullshit, trying her hardest to push more.
"Stuff him back in, it hurts too much." She gave her last push, successfully finishing her job. The doctors cut the umbilical cord and went to wash the baby and weigh him.
"It's all finished. You did it, Yuki-chan." Her husband finally said something. He stayed calm the e tire time, somehow making her feel much better than if he talked shit like the nurses did.
She pulled him closer to her face andkissed him.
"This is our first and last child. I am not going through this hell again." She vowed to herself.
"You don't have to anymore." He said and hugged the frail looking woman.
"Here is your baby boy, Fushiguro-san. We recommend you to hold him to your bare chest, so that the child will have skin-to-skin contact contact with you. It calms and relaxes baby, regulates the baby's heart rate and breathing, helping them to better adapt to life outside the womb." She thoroughly explained.
Yukiko just partially took off her hospital gown to do what she was told, as the nurse passed the baby to his mother.
"Isn't he just beautiful?" She looked at the baby, along with his father.
"Call Tsumiki to the room, please." Toji said softly to the nurse, in I order to not startle the baby. The woman instantly went out in search for the small girl.
"So, what did you decide on?" The woman looked at her husband, wondering about the name he chose for him.
"Megumi." He just uttered.
"Meg... wait what?" She was confused and shocked. "Isn't that a female name? Toji-kun!" She carefully freed one of her arms and slapped his arm.
"It sounds pretty." He said as if it was the mot obvious thing in the world.
"Yeah, but isn't it a girl's name?" She started repeating the name. It rolled off of her tongue pretty easily. And it seemed to fit him in a strange way.
"Megumi... why does it matter that it's a female or a male name?" Toji asked.
"I mean, you are not wrong, it sounds pretty... and it kind of feels right somehow..." She said and looked at her little bundle of joy.
"Okaa-san! Did you finally poop out the baby?" The girl excitedly ran towards the couple, making both of the crack up at her words.
"Geez, don't make me laugh, it hurts." Yukiko wiped the tear off of her face, as Toji lifted Tsumiki up for her to see her younger brother.
"Say hi to Megumi." The mother said with a small smile.
"Hi Megumi-kun, I am Tsumiki, your older sister. Nice to meet you!" She said with a bright sile mirroring her mother.
"The baby is a healthy boy, with the healthy weight of 3.5kg. Right now the baby would probably need some time to calm down and rest, just as much as the mother, so it would be advisable for the rest to leave." The nurse that brought her child, said.
"You go and get something to eat, darling." Yukiko said to her husband as he was going out. He just quietly nodded and took Tsumiki with him.
For the next couple of hours, Yukiko just held the boy in her arms. Not letting him go for even a second, before giving him back to the nurse and falling asleep.
