Chapter 40 - having the baby

Song I thought would work with the baby being born!

Baby mine - Alison Krauss

You most likely heard the song on Dumbo

‘Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
Never to part,

Baby of mine.’

She held the small girl in her arms looking down to her smiling weakly. Kyou sat silently on the side of the bed, looking down at the small girl. Yuki doing the same on the other side of the bed. Tohru looked up slowly to the two males smiling as the little girl slept silently with in the pink blanket. The two boys just smiled down at the little one, seeing the small little hands of the girl clenching the blanket.

"...She's a fighter... like Kyou-kun..." She spoke softly barely above a whisper as she closed her eyes halfway her head tilting to the side.

Kyou grinned slightly and nodded. "I'll make sure that she never has to worry about losing a fight either. She's going to kick Yuki's @$$ if I can't." Tohru giggled lightly as she laid back relaxing with the girl in her arms her eyes held a bit of sadness.

‘Little one when you play,
Don't you mind what they say.
Let those eyes sparkle and shine,
Never a tear,
Baby of mine.’

Slowly Kyou lay over and rested his head on Tohru's shoulder. "She's beautiful... just like her mother."

She blushed lightly giggling softly. "Her father is a prince though." She looked to Yuki smiling.

"Only thing she got from Yuki's the purple hair... the rest is all you Tohru..." Kyou said with a slight chuckle, looking at the thin little strands of purple that were barely visible on the girl's small head.

She nodded as she blushed still. "...I can't believe I was able to give you this gift..."

"But you did Miss Honda... you've only increased the size of our family now..."

"...I gave you a little more faith in me and hope to break the curse..."

Both boys nodded softly as they looked at the girl still. "She could be the end of the curse... we can only watch her grow and hope."

She nodded lightly looking to the child. "...I don’t know if you can hold her..."

"I don't know either..." both of them said, nearly simultaneously. “It's a difficult thing to say for sure what will happen if we hold her..."

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

"...Make sure the door is locked and we can try." She pushed herself up weakly the child cuddled close to her mother.

"It'd be best if we wait until we get home... the doctors can unlock the door if they need to get in and check on you or the child..." said Yuki as he looked at the child, Kyou frowning slightly at Yuki's having to shut him down.

She nodded sadly. "...You can hold her in your hands can't you?" She spoke sadly looking down to the small infant.

"I think so," said Kyou as he reached out and placed a hand on the child's head softly. Lightly brushing his thumb over her forehead. The child squirmed around at his touch as she placed the small child on the bed unwrapping her from the blanket. Smiling down at the little girl, he slowly places his hands under her arms and picks her up. Her eyes opened halfway as she wiggled around still getting use to the outside world. He smiled slightly as he held the girl up in front of himself and looked into her eyes. They were the color of Yuki's, but a little softer. Yuki leaned over next to Kyou petting the child's cheek softly with the back of her palm.

Smiling a bit, he slowly handed the girl to Yuki so that he could hold her in his hands as well, since he was the father after all. "They'll never believe she's mine when they see her hair and eyes..."

She looked down sadly. “... As long as Akito-san doesn't see our baby everything will be fine..." She spoke sadly as she laid back closing her eyes. Yuki held the small infant that let out a low yawn.

"I don't think Akito will mess with us anyway," Kyou said, as he looked at the child still, his hand coming to rest on Tohru's, holding it softly. She smiled weakly she kept her eyes closed she was still weak from giving birth to the small child. Yuki looked to her smiling before looking down to child laying her down softly in her blanket place his hand to her hand her small finger weakly gripping his index finger.

From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be,
Baby of mine.

Kyou laid his head on her shoulder still as Yuki played with the little girl. Slowly the doctor opened the door and walked in, "Do we have a name picked out for the birth certificate?"

"...Oh I haven't really discussed it with the father?" She spoke opening her eyes sitting up slowly in the bed.

The doctor nodded slightly as he stepped back a bit, "I'll check back in shortly. The certificate is waiting for a name on it."

She nodded lightly as she sat up petting the small infant. “... I’ll let you know what we decide."

Nodding, he closed the door once more and walked away. Yuki glanced at her with a smile, "What would you like to name her Miss Honda?"

She looked down to the small child. "I want you two to decide... Its only fair if you can't hold her..."

Kyou smiled broadly as he looked at the child. "I think Yumi fits her well..."

She nodded lightly smiling kindly at the child. "That's perfect."

"Yumi Sohma..." whispered Yuki softly as he looked down at the girl, nodding his head very lightly.

“... I’m glad that I didn’t give up on you..." She spoke softly looking down to the small child.

Quietly both boys laid back beside her, the child wrapped in the blanket once more, placed atop her stomach. The child slept silently curled in the blankets her purple hues hidden behind sleepy eyes. "...She's so small..."

Both nodded, feeling slightly sleepy themselves. Slowly the doctor walked in again, "Just checking up to make sure all's well. It seems that everyone is getting kind of sleepy." She nodded lightly holding the small child Yuki poking Kyou to get up and away from her while the doctor was near.


Kyou’s eyes glared over at Yuki with a look of defiance. He had every right to be close to her, after all, she loved them both.

"...We decided on her name Yumi." She smiled weakly sitting up slowly.

Yuki nodded softly as he looked at the doctor, "The name for the certificate should be Yumi Sohma."

He nodded lightly writing the name down. "The father's name now."

Both boy's glanced at each other, Kyou’s eyes holding a slight admittance of defeat. Yuki glanced up at Tohru, smiling as he lifted his hand. "Yuki... Yuki Sohma."

She watched the two boys watching Kyou sadly as the doctor wrote the name down. "Oh there's a visitor here he really wants to see the baby."

Tohru blinked then smiled. "It must be Shigure-san." Kyou shifted slightly with an uneasy feeling, jumping up from the bed and walking towards the door. He had this feeling that it wasn't Shigure, and he wanted to be ready. She watched him a little confused as she laid back against the propped up hospital holding her small infant. Kyou stood by the door, watching, waiting to see who would come through it. Yuki moved over to her side sitting in front of her as the door opened Akito walking in smiling with a vase of flowers. Her eyes widened in fear as the doctor left the room.

Kyou narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. "I thought I told you to stay away from her Akito... I told you I'd kill you..."

"I want to see the baby is that to much to ask." He moved over to where Tohru laid setting the vase of flowers on the nightstand as he sat beside her on the bed slipping the child from the tired mother's arm. “... This can't be your child little monster the wench would be dead." He smirked.

Kyou moved back over to the bed and grabbed Akito's collar, gripping it tightly. "You pull anything and I'll throw you out this fracking window..."

"I'd choose your words cat." The child slept silently in the bundle her features hidden by her pink blanket. "I do hold hmm I'm going to guess and say Yuki-kun's baby... You throw me out she'll come with me you can't hold her and the poor mother is weak and helpless right now."

All of those people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.

"There's one thing you're wrong about... I can hold the child, as long as I don't let her be in my arms." Kyou smirked evilly and glared at Akito still. "Give her back to Tohru and leave, now."

"You'll be going with me though cat. Your lucky I let you play caregiver to the wench while she was pregnant." He unwrapped the blanket looking down to the sleeping child. "...What a precious little girl..."

"I left you on the verge of death last time... I'll make sure that you don't make it out this time. You think that you're God, that you can just pick and chose what happens in this family, but you're wrong... and when you're dead and the rest of us are still here, you'll realize that..."

The child started to cry Akito slowly sitting beside Tohru the little girl's purple orbs shimmering lightly the man hushing her until she finally fell back to sleep. "...Its ok I'll protect you from that ugly beast."

Kyou’s hands moved to the vase, picking it up and squeezing it. "Put her down... and leave... now."

"Or what you'll throw the vase at me you must really hate the child if you do that." Tohru's eyes widened as she heard Akito speak she couldn't fight against him she was still weak from giving birth and the sedative the nurse gave her.

"Throw..? No, not throw. I'm controlled enough to not do that... Smash it on the back of your head... away from the child... that's a different story."

"This child is cursed you broke the rules Both of you when you slept with that wench... You've made the curse a whole lot worse." He spoke looking down to the child that held his index finger. "Your already screwed up cat."

"Just leave... before I do something that I don't want to have to do here in a hospital..." Kyou said with a growl, his eyes narrowed.

He shook his slowly. "You cursed this child..." He laid the small infant beside her mother as he stood. "I'll talk to you three when the time is right..." He smirked as he walked out closing the door.

Kyou followed him to the door and hissed, throwing the vase in the trashcan. "He's dead... I'm going after him and making sure he never messes with Tohru or Yumi again..."

"Kyou-kun..." She spoke sadly looking to him as she held the small infant in her arms. “... Please don't leave me now..."

Kyou’s hand fell from the doorknob as he looked at her and gave a slight nod, walking back to her. "I'm so sick of him..."

"...I know Kyou-kun, but I don't want you to leave me... Last time I thought you were going to die..." She spoke sadly looking down to her child.

Slowly he sat on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll stay... his time will come... but for now, I'll stay."

She nodded lightly leaning up kissing his cheek. "...I love you two so much..."

Kyou smiled a bit, still frustrated that Akito'd showed up at the hospital, but rapidly relaxing with Tohru at his side again.

"...Can you will the basinet over I can't hold her anymore the medication is really messing with me now..."

Nodding softly, he slowly stood and grabbed the basinet, wheeling it over to the side of her bed. Softly, Yuki picked up the child, placing her in the little bed.

Tohru looked over to the small child smiling. "...I can't believe I gave life to such a small creature..." Her eyes slowly closing.

Kyou slowly walked over and sat on the bed once more, taking her hand in his own. "Rest now... so we can go home, where we belong."

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be,
Baby of mine.
Baby of mine.
