"It's a girl Mrs. Hibiki."
A smile broke out on the brunette's pale tired face. Hours of labour finally paid off in a form of a crying baby.
"C-can…I…see her?" She replied weakly. The women with blue hair nodded.
"Yes, but don't wear yourself out, alright? You're really weak right now."
The brunette's rosy lips curved again. "Of…course. But my dearest friend is here…if I do, right?" The doctor smiled,
"Usually."
The doctor brought the girl to her mother's open arms. Two lips curved, "She's really small huh?"
"All babies are, Via."
The doctor replied as she removed her gloves. Her friend could be such an airhead at times.
The other woman pressed her lips together, "But she seems really small. I hope she won't be small in frame while growing up. Then she'd get bullied, Natarle!"
It hadn't even been half an hour since the baby was brought into the world yet Via already started mothering. Natarle sighed; her friend was someone who could be a such a worrywart at times. Then again, the older woman's habit did help her a lot through out the time she studied in medical school.
"Via, I'm sure she'll be fine. You have years to worry about that. Right now, just think of a name."
"I suppose you're right, as usual."
The brunette grinned. Even though both women were the same age, Natarle always seemed to be the older one. When they were younger, she would make sure Via stayed out of trouble. Their childhood was rather monotone since one of them always followed the rules. Hardly any time for adventure. But there were those rare times when Via would presuade her into doing something and they would never get caught.
Natarle nodded at the statement, "You seem to have a lot more energy now. Do you want to wait for him or-"
"No. He doesn't deserve this child. You didn't call him or anything…right?" A flicker of fear shot through Via Hibiki's eyes. The divorce papers finally reached her idiotic husband. He didn't have the right to see their - her daughter. Via's anxiety came to an end when Natarle lightly hit her on the head.
"Of course. I felt like ruining your happiness." She replied sarcastically. Even if love wasn't her platform, Natarle knew the pain it caused. That was why she didn't bother to date anyone after seeing what happened to Via and Ulen.
Via chuckled, "I should have seen that coming."
"Yes, yes you should have." As the blue haired female walked away to discard her used gloves, the brunette's thoughts drifted to her husband.
That moron wanted to kill his daughter, thinking one child was enough.
'Abort the thing! We don't want it!' The blonde had told her as he left the house for the office.
'I want it!' She had yelled at his retreating back.
Via shook her head when Natarle spoke, "What are you going to name her?"
"Hmm…I'm thinking of Cagalli." Natarle closed an eye in thought,
"I don't know anyone else with that name…it's original."
Via smiled at the comment, "So be it."
"It's a boy, Mrs. Asuka."
Karen slumped back into the soft bed, thanking God for the safe delivery. They weren't sure about this one, as the doctors told them he was too weak to survive. But her son sure showed them!
She raised her head a little to look at the delivering doctor.
"Thank you Ms. Ramius for taking my yelling…" Karen regretted verbally abusing the nice woman for almost three hours.
Murrue laughed, "No, it should be me thanking you! For not throwing anything at me…" She shuddered slightly at her thoughts. The patients weren't kind this year. But no stitches for her today!
"Could I hold him?" Murrue widened her eyes a bit,
"Oh! I almost forgot!" She took the child to his mother,
"Did you want me to call Mr. Asuka in?"
"If it wouldn't be any trouble…" Karen was sure Ken would be happy to see a boy. Even if he didn't say anything about the gender for the past nine months, she caught the longing look thrown towards a father and son during a walk through the park.
Murrue waved a hand, "Of course not."
Karen smiled down at her child, "Welcome to our world little one. I'm going to make sure you stay happy."
When she heard footsteps, Karen looked up and found her husband at the foot of the bed. He put on a flashing smile, "Thank you honey."
She closed her eyes and smiled. The way the ravan haired man looked at the baby confirmed her thoughts. She was sure this one would become an athelete. Ken liked to play many sports.
He came up to the side of the bed, "Are you feeling alright though? I mean you did just give birth…"
"I'm fine! Really!" After smilng, he held out his arms, wanting to hold the child. But she didn't want to give him up. It was a different kind of protectivness.
"So…what do we call him?" The brunette asked, patting the boy's bald head. Ken followed her gesture, a little disappointed he couldn't hold him.
"How about Ken jr.?"
"No."
"Alan?"
"No."
"Thomas?"
"No."
"Hayate?"
"No…are you still watching Pretear?" Karen gave her husband a wierd look before looking back down at their son.
Ken blushed, "Uhhh…how about Micale?"
"No."
"What kind of name do you want?"
"Well, I was thinking along the lines of Tsubak or maybe…Shinn."
"Uhh…I think I like Shinn better."
The male kissed her forehead and they both gazed down at their crying newborn. Their pride and joy.
Natarle looked down at the young girl in her arms, "You know, now you make me want a child…Why don't you open your eyes? I smacked you but all you did was cry..."
"You really want to start a family?"
Natarle jumped slightly and turned around quickly. "La Flaga!"
The said man closed his eyes and grinned real big, "Mwu is fine, Natarle." The nurse patted down his perfect blonde hair as he made his way through the deserted hallway towards the two.
"Natarle is not fine La Flaga." She snapped at him. The woman didn't understand why is was Mwu had a habit of calling her by her first name. She hated that. No one called her that except for Murrue and Via but she knew those two for awhile. Mwu was someone she met only two months ago.
He looked down and sighed, "You need to relax." He now looked at her, "But do you seriously want to start a family?"
Natarle thought for a while before answering, "Yes, I really do."
Why she was telling him was unknown. But she wanted someone to give her love and wisdom to. Someone to continue her family's name.
"But would your schedule allow it?"
"You know, you're being such a hypocrite. You and Murrue want to start one as well right?"
Mwu stumbled upon hearing her words, "H-how did you know?"
He was sure no one knew about the proposal made to Murrue. And it was just two weeks ago he decieded to take the next step up. Did news get around that fast around this place?
Natarle rolled her eyes, "Murrue and I work together, remember? Which means she would tell me things, La Flaga."
"Right…right…"
"So how would your schedule's allow it? Murrue's a full time doctor and you work here as a nurse."
He flapped his hand, "We'll make it work…somehow."
She made a face at him before returning her gaze back to the baby.
"Natarle! Mwu!" Both adults looked to their right after hearing their names. They found Murrue striding over to them with a bundle in her hands. Her smile was wide and her steps were rushed, as a little girl's would be if she had a secret to tell.
"Murrue."
"Yo." Mwu looked at the bundle and then at Murrue,
"Not yours right?" The brunette would have hit him on the head had she not been holding the boy. That was the stupidest thing which came out of his mouth.
"No, I'm on my way to the nursery right now. I'm guessing you're going there too, Natarle?" She glanced at the bundle in her hands. Natarle nodded.
"What's his name?"
"Her name is Cagalli Yula Hibiki." Murrue chuckled nervously while Mwu held back a laugh.
"I hope she doesn't remember this…"
"Yeah, that would be bad…considering how she turns out, that is." Mwu put in. She could be an insecure girl or even a tough little lady who took no for an answer. He didn't know the mother's or the father's personality but it was fun to guess what the kids would be like when they were older.
"What's this one's name?" Nartale asked, looking down at the white bundle held by her co-worker.
"Shinn Asuka." The brunette's tone of voice contained a hint of pride and the blonde chuckled.
"You know, you two should be going to the nursery now, everyone here is throwing us dirty looks." He observed.
Murrue looked around the waiting room and sure enough, some people were glaring at her, as though saying, "You shouldn't be socializing when there are people here that need care!"
They all exchanged nods and left to their destinations.
The two women found two empty cribs in the far corner of the room.
After depositing the babies, they left to for their duties.
Not long after they left, Shinn stirred in his sleep as did Cagalli.
The first thing Shinn saw in his life were auburn eyes.
A/N- Yes, I know that babies' eye colours are pinkish when they are born but I thought I could bend realityness of it…Oh and by the way, I'm trying to centre my fics around those characters that you don't see much of.
Eg. Fllay, Shani, Orga, etc. So please don't count on seeing Kira, Lacus, Dearka, Miriallia, Yzak, etc.
