Chapter 1 - the birth

Please give me a better title.

The outside air was crisp, there were early signs of blossoms there were many indicators of spring approaching. The wind was strong enough to pick up the leaves. With the wind, it also brought in smells; it was a soft smell of blossoms.

And as the leaves fluttered beautifully, there was a decently sized mansion. The trees that decorated the mansion were swaying in the breeze, and the whole tree moved with elegance. The birds were singing, and the atmosphere felt peaceful.

Then a woman in a white kimono steps out in a rush, she was a beauty, she had delicate features blue eyes and dark blue hair that can have you on a daze by just a glance, but on her pretty face stuck worry etched on her and hands trembled on her stomach. as she headed into the nearby village. She was in a hurry; she was going to the nearby village to collect her mind.

Hours later

The beautiful woman who headed to the nearby village was back at the mansion, her body language showed clear anxiety oozing off her. Her hands shook, and the woman had a pale face. The thoughts that were clouding her caused fear and anxiety.

A man was sitting opposite her; they were in a dimly lit room, and the sun only shone softly into the room. There was one beam of sunlight that made a line separating the woman and the man. The beam of sunlight revealed many particles in the air moving inside it.

The man had a look of worry that turned serious. "What did you want to talk about, Ayame?" the man said with a serious tone, but there was a hint of worry.

Ayame started to tear up and with a faint smile on her face, she muttered, "I…think I'm pregnant." She said this with a shaking voice, as she gripped her kimono tightly.

The atmosphere froze, the birds stopped singing, the sounds of the trees fluttering stopped the silence was loud. Only the faint sound of wind was heard, not even a movement or breath came from the 2 people in the room.

'Is Akihiko angry…did this bring him displeasure?' Ayame thought as she started to feel cold and nervous and afraid, all these emotions piling up on her. She felt as if she had disappointed her husband.

Thump

Ayame lay sprawled on the floor as Akihiko hugged her tightly, his arms shaking. She stared at Akihiko, she was stunned, tears forming in her bright blue eyes, and the same was said about Akihiko. As they were hugging on the floor, Ayame felt tears hitting her neck. Akihiko was crying and spoke up.

"I'm so happy," Akihiko said with a trembling, joyous voice. As he looked at Ayame, noticing her emotions, he touched her chin and his hand stroked her face until it reached her eyes, as he proceeded to wipe away the tears from her face.

"Don't cry it can ruin your face… don't be afraid I keep telling you this…I'm so happy…why will I ever be angry at this?" Akihiko said with so much happiness and gentleness in his voice as he started to let his tears release, falling on the floor, and his body shook uncontrollably.

Ayame started to sob herself; she was so happy that Akihiko was pleased. The married couple were joyously enjoying their moment, then Akihiko stopped and stood up and said with a smile, his tears now dried.

"Are you sure that you're pregnant?" he said, still holding the same shoulders and with gentleness in his voice, as he looked at Ayame with bright black eyes. "I am sure, I haven't had my cycle for 2 months," Ayame said softly while pulling Akihiko into a tight hug. She felt safe and comforted by hugging Akihiko.

"Hey, what's with all the commotion in that room?" A sound of an aged man was heard as he walked up to the door 'Did Ayame do something wrong?" the old man thought to himself as he slid open the door. He froze, seeing the joyous moment of the married couple in front of him. His brows furrowed he was left without words.

"Ugh," the old man stood there shocked, "Father, I'm pregnant!" Ayame said cheerfully as she ran up to her father, who was only visiting. "Agh… I'm really…I'm so glad." The aged man's eyes softened as he started to tear up, his voice cracking. He was truly proud of his daughter and couldn't wait to become a grandpa.

Months went by, Ayame was holding on her belly, it was abnormally big, which was an indicator that she was too her due date. Ayame sang a beautiful lullaby to her baby in her womb. Akihiko watched this while pacing around the room. He was getting more nervous and nervous as the days went on. But the lullaby calmed him down a bit

A month later

Akihiko lay in bed with his wife sleeping peacefully, then Ayame lifted her body and started to wake Akihiko. "Darling…darling, wake up! I think my water broke," she said, this while sweat formed on her forehead, and her hands shook, her voice cracking with fear.

Akihiko instantly woke up from his drowsiness, leaving his body immediately. "Oh…uh okay, let me lift you," Akihiko said seriously. He gently grabbed Akihiko from the bed and ran out of the room to take her to a specific room, which would be the delivery room.

As he made it to the room, he placed Ayame gently on the bed. "Ayame, do not be worried, I'll be back. I'm just going to get the housewives," Akihiko said while he sweated profusely. Akihiko ran out of the room. Ayame's hair fluttered around.

Akihiko sprinted out, finding the housewives and telling them loudly, "My wife's water just broke, tend to her quickly. Please," he said, exhausted in a tone that almost sounded like begging them. The youngest of the 4 housewives dropped a basket she was holding, and all 4 calm faces turned serious as the rest placed their baskets on the floor and started to rush to where the delivery room was.

Hours later

There was a small scent of ginger in the air that covered the room, and there were sounds of panting. Ayame was lying on the bed, struggling to breathe. Her face was bright red, and her body was sweating. Her eyes showed pain.

"Aghhhhhhh" Ayame screams, screeching out of the room. "Lady Shimizu, stay calm, just breathe. The baby is almost coming out," the oldest of the 4 housewives said, trying to calm down Ayame.

Just outside the delivery room, Akihiko and Ayame's father were praying for the well-being of their wife and daughter. They were outside on their knees, sweat was clearly on their face, for hours they waited and prayed. Akihiko clasped his hands in prayer so hard his knuckles started turning white. Akihiko was praying loudly, but all he could hear was Agnes' cries. While Ayame's father was calmer. Then a voice called out It was from the midwife "You may come in now."

Both father and husband stood up, wiping their sweat off their face and preparing themselves, and slid open the door and stepped in, their worried expressions etched on their faces.

They saw the housewives stepping aside. Akihiko's full focus was on Ayame. His face showed extreme tiredness and sweat. Ayame's hair was messy, then both Ayame's father and Akihiko saw the newborn as the baby was about to let out its first cries.

They both heard a screeching cry of the newborn. "Waaaaah waaah." Akihiko was the first to step into the room, looking at the scene in front of him.

Their worries vanished when they saw the baby crying. While Ayame was holding her baby up to her chest. Ayame's father walked up to thank the midwife and bowed towards her

"I was only doing my job, but I'm glad to introduce a new person in the world, and there were no complications during labor. I'm happy to introduce a boy. What will you name him?"

The midwife waved off the thanks. She spoke with a natural, gentle voice and a smile etched on her face. She was truly passionate about what she does.

Akihiko felt as if he was dreaming, while his eyes watched his wife holding his baby, he felt so much happiness that he collapsed to his knees crying with joy, and quickly rushed towards his wife, comforting and hugging his wife.

Finally, he set his eyes on his child, the baby boy's hands were reaching for Akihiko. He felt so happy in that moment, felt like he had achieved everything he wanted to achieve.

Carefully and gently touching his son, he turned and asked gently, "May I hold him, Ayame?" Ayame stared at him with a tired expression but managed a smile. "Of course you can," and then Akihiko finally held his child. He turned to look at Ayame's father. "Tadakatsu, you may have the honor to name your grandson." Ayame's father, whose name was revealed as Tadakatsu, stood there in shock, and then a smile flashed on his face in an instant. He happily nodded multiple times.

"Yes…Thank you for this honor that you bestowed on me," he approached Akihiko and his daughter. "May I hold the baby?" Akihiko nodded and handed his son.

Tadakatsu stared into the deep light mesmerizing blue purple eyes mesmerized by its unique colors "soryu i will name you soryu kurozora" 'what!!!' Akihiko thought to himself, confused

"tadakatsu-San why is the boy not taking my surname" tadakatsu stared at Akihiko "forgive me but it's a selfish desire of mines please forgive me but I want the an heir to my family name" Akihiko stared at tadakatsu bowing body with a dumb founded expression and quieted down and softly said "but he is an heir what do you exactly mean" akihiko asked still not getting it.

"Well what I mean is my surname since my daughter took your surname, and their is no male relative that uses the surname I'm the last one" tadakatsu began looking at akihiko with sulking eyes. "so I ask a selfish request that your child…my grandson take my surname…since me and my wife couldn't have the chance to have a male since I'm 54 and I had my daughter at 28 we were trying me and my wife for a child since we were 20 but 8 years of trying we had ayame but her mother" tadakatsu started to shed tears and getting emotional continued "unfortunately…she had complications during childbirth and sadly died…so we never had the opportunity to have a male heir to the family but I will never switch my daughter for a son she is truly a blessing and I never blamed her for her mothers death it was just fate… so please grant my selfish request" tadakatsu bowing and shaking, his head on the floor akihiko was shocked and frozen

"No, no, it's fine, yes, he can get your surname but please don't humiliate yourself like that, please," Akihiko said, flustered, waving his arms around. "Thank you so much," Tadakatsu said, his eyes full of gratefulness as he cried silently.

The housewife watched this scene with happiness. She was truly mesmerized by this family; she would never forget this moment.

A contented smile reached her calm face.
