Some days later...

"Alright, let's get down to business," Gorou said as Ai filled in some paperwork in the lobby. "As a start, you should use an assumed name here at the hospital."

"Okay," Ai agreed.

Back up in the examination room...

"In a case like yours, a cesarean section will likely be necessary," Gorou explained.

The man beside Ai said, "Eh?"

"If one of the baby's skulls is large, for someone with your build it's common for the pelvis to open enough," Gorou explained.

"Ehhh? Really?" Ai asked.

"A scar on her belly will spell trouble for her job..." the man said nervously. "Sensei, aren't there other options?"

Lies are love. I've come to see that phrase in a good light - stars truly are amazing.

40 Weeks — Expected Delivery Date

"Thanks for today, Sensei," Ai said thankfully as the nurse pulled up the covers on her hospital bed. "But come back as soon as I call, okay?"

"Sure thing," Gorou said. "Besides, I live really close by. Well, if I don't make it, another doctor will attend to you anyway."

"No, I want you," Ai said stubbornly.

"I'm just joking," Gorou said with a smile. "See you later."

"Okay," Ai said.

"See ya, onii-chan," Luna said, waving.
