At the hospital, Akito was in labor struggling to deliver his baby. As much as he pushed, the baby was not coming out. The doctors tried to help him along but were unable to ease the difficult birth.
"Just relax, sweetie." One nurse said. "We'll have your baby out soon."
The bluenette's only response was painful screams and trying to push the baby out, but his efforts were still in vain. The pains were getting even worse and the contractions were closer and closer.
A nurse came out with some needles and what appeared to be tools for a cesarean. The operation began with little preparation done. It was gruesome, it was painful, it was downright the worst thing he could have had done to him. Once it was all over, the doctor went out to tell the others the great news. But first he told him.
"Congratulations, Warajima-san. You have a baby girl.
Meanwhile, on the hospital bed, Akito was holding his new daughter in his arms he could not believe that after months of carrying her she was finally born. Things couldn't get any better at that point.
"My little girl, you're finally here. My darling." He said stroking his daughter's jet black hair.
"I'm going to call you Hikari." Then after that he noticed something very wrong. She wasn't crying.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" he cried. "Why isn't she crying? Why can't I feel her heartbeat?"
"Warajima-san, calm down." A nurse said gently. But her words did not pierce the bluenettes ears. He continued to panic for his new daughter's life. He knew something happened during the C-section to put his baby in the state that she is in.
"I WON'T CALM DOWN UNTIL I KNOW THAT MY HIKARI IS ALRIGHT!" He shouted. Then after that, Akito went into a severe panic attack that even the doctor could not ease. The panic attack was so servere that he was soon a lifeless shell, struggling to survive.
"HE'S GONE INTO CARDIAC ARREST!" the doctor shouted. "QUICK WE MUST REVIVE HIM!"
'of course this was to be expected.' The doctor thought. 'after all he had been in labor for thirty two hours. That would put pressure on anyone.
Meanwhile, in the waiting room another doctor went to Ikki and told him the good news.
"Congratulations, Minami-san." The doctor said. "You have a daughter."
Ikki , kazu and Emily all rushed into the delivery room to see Ikki's new baby girl. But what they found was devastating. The baby was on an oxygen machine and Akito was in a lifeless state.
"What happened?" Ikki half shouted. "What happened to Akito? What happened to my baby?"
"Minami-san," began the doctor. "I'm afraid that since Warajima-san went into premature labor, he had a hard time delivering the baby, so a cesarean was performed, plus the child's lungs have not been fully developed. Your baby and Akito will have to stay in the hospital for a while."
"What about Akito?" Kazu asked.
"Akito went into cardiac arrest shortly after the cesarean. We're trying to resuscitate him now. We don't know if we can."
No. Ikki thought. I can't lose my family, not now.
"Dammit, Doc! Do something and help him, and our daughter!" Ikki shouted. He wasn't about to let everything he loved slip away from him.
"Minami-san, we're doing everything that we can to revive your fiancée so please, be patient." The doctor pleaded. Then after that, Agito pulled him out of the delivery room. Kazu and Emily tried as hard as they could to calm Ikki down but nothing was working.
"How can you guys tell me to calm down after what just happened?" he asked.
"What am I going to do if…" Emily then took the crow aside in an attempt to console him.
"Listen, Ikki." She began. "If anyone knows what its like to lose the people that you love, it's me. I've lost my best friend in the whole world just because of that asshole Daisuke. Even right now I'm still dealing with that death. But you have got to be strong for Akito and your daughter."
A wave of doubt followed that sentence. On Ikki's part anyway; he began to think of the possibility. His heart broke even more at the thought of the worst case scenario.
"What if Akito's daughter really belongs to him and not me?" he asked.
"Ikki, you love that little girl, don't you?" Emily asked.
"Of course I do!" the crow answered.
"So why should it matter if she's biologically yours or not? Any idiot can make a baby, but it takes a real man to be a father. And Ikki, I know that you can be a great father to that sweet little girl; whether she is yours or not."
Ikki began to feel slightly hopeful about the future. He still had his doubts but at least now all he really had to worry about was whether or not Akito and the baby pull through.
After the others went home Ikki stayed behind and watched over an unconscious Akito and their baby. He couldn't help but worry about his family. Ikki soon thought about everything that he did and all of the events that led them to the hospital.
Flashback two years ago.
"Akito, this is Daisuke," Ikki confirmed. "he's gonna be your blind date tonight.""BLIND DATE?" the bluenette and his other half thought in unison. "This was what ikki was planning the whole time?"
Confused, akito switched the eye patch to a furious Agito.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG YOU? YOU SHIT FACDED DUMBASS CROW! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SET US UP ON SOME STUPID DATE WITH THAT DIPSHITTED GOTH WITH NO FUCKING SENSE OF TIME!"
"Dumbass that's the point of a blind date and I set up for Akito, not YOU!"
"YOURE THE DUMBASS, DID YOU FORGET THAT IM PART OF HIM YOU STUPID CROW?"
"Whatever, are you going with him or not?"
While the shark took a moment to think about it he switched the eye patch back and Akito was no happier about the blind date than he was. There was no turning back now, akito had nothing else to do but go through with the date, and maybe it would be fun.
"Okay, if that's what you want me to do Ikki-kun." He agreed. Even though he wasn't so happy about going out with someone else, he trusted his friend completely. There was no reason not to. Agito, however was still skeptical about it- the idea of going out with someone they didn't know made him suspicious.
End flashback.
He went over to his lover's bedside; tears began to form in his eyes as he began to doubt that everything was going to be alright.
"Akito," he began. "I really hope that we can get through this. You have to pull through. Our little girl needs her father."
Ikki then went to Hikari's side. He wanted to hold his baby so bad but knew that he couldn't risk her life.
"Hey there, little one." He said. "Daddy's here. I'm always here with you no matter what…Hikari.
While he was on his way home, Ikki bumps into a familiar but not so friendly face.
He knew that if Agito wasn't bad enough, this person was the worst person to run into at a hospital.
"K-Kaito!" Ikki exclaimed. He knew that he was in deep trouble now. Kaito may have been a bastard in the past but he was still Akito's brother and Hikari was now his uncle. But the family issues were now just getting started.
"What the hell is going on in there?" Kaito asked angrily. Then he grabbed the spiky haired boy by the shirt.
"Well, Akito just had your niece and..."
"I'm not stupid!" he shouted. "I know something went wrong after he had his baby! Is he going to make it or not?"
Ikki threw his hand up. "I don't know that yet. But he and Hikari are in very bad shape. I wouldn't shout so much If I were you."
"God dammit," Kaito continued. "I knew something like this would happen! I knew you would fuck up so bad that it would end up dragging my baby brother down with you!"
Ikki seemed confused at the silver haired man's reaction. He had no idea that Kaito cared this much.
"Hold on. Since when do you care about Akito's well being?" he grilled.
"Since when. How about maybe his whole life? I promised our parents that I would look out for him when they that is what I'm going to do and to start, as soon as he gets out of this hospital, he's moving back in with me. And you're gonna take that ring off his finger!"
It was then that Ikki had to put his foot down. He would be damned if he lost his Akito again. And ironically to the same person that he took him away from.
"I won't let you take him or my daughter!" Ikki said.
"Crow, please." Kaito taunted. "You don't even know if she is really yours. For all you know that freak might be her father."
The entire time Kaito and Ikki were arguing in the hospital; Simca and Daisuke were standing from a distance just across the long hallway. They figured that with those two distracted, they could easily carry on with their plans.
"I won't let that stupid crow have MY baby!" daisuke shouted. He appeared to be ready to take the baby from Akito. He had the clothes the bottle, formula, toys, food everything this baby would need.
"How do you know that his baby really belongs to you?" simca asked.
"Honestly, I don't." he answered. But I will prove that she is mine.
Meanwhile Ikki and Kaito continued to fight.
"Just get a DNA test done so we can find out!"
"What good would that do?" Kaito said. "You don't want Hikari anyway. You sent that letter to him saying that you didn't want him or Hikari. So why the sudden change of heart?"
I didn't even KNOW that your brother was pregnant or I would have been there for him and the baby!"
"Is that why you sent this reply back to him?" Kaito asked. Then he gave the spiky haired boy a letter containing these words.
Akito, you are the most disgusting piece of shit I have ever met. I don't know what the hell I ever saw in a dipshit like you. I don't want you and I don't want anything to do with that bastard of a child. There is no way that baby could be mine, after all, you did say that you cheated on me. So why should I believe anything you say. And if you ever come near me again, I'll kill both you and that bastard.
Ikki.
"I did NOT write that!" Ikki said defensively. Then Ikki told the silver haired cop what Kazu told him.
"Simca and Daisuke set the whole thing up so that Aktio and I would break up and that he could get Akito back. I don't think that he expected him to go to you."
"Whatever, I'll teach those assholes a lesson. But after that, I'm taking Akito back!"
"The hell you are!" Ikki yelled. "He and I are getting married soon, so you and I are going to have to learn to get along, for Hikari's sake."
Kaito knew that despite the fact that he hated Ikki, and how much he wanted to get back at him for making his brother go through the pain, he couldn't take his niece away from her father. They would have to learn to get along for her sake.
ONE MONTH LATER…
Akito did pull through but still has many complications. He would have lingering stomach pains and moderate migraines. At times his chest would feel tight too. But the important thing was that he and his baby made it through. This was also the day that the results of Ikki and Daisuke's DNA test would be revealed.
The doctor walked in with the moment of truth in his hands. Ikki's results were first.
"Probability of paternity for Hikari Minami: 99.999%
Next was daisuke's.
"Probability of paternity for Hikari Minami: 0%"
The results completely shocked everyone, but especially Kaito and Agito and Daisuke. Ikki sighed in relief with the satisfaction of knowing that this was his daughter.
