Northstar Vale sometimes fate is just as cruel

I am so sorry for the delay!!!!!

She had been struggling. Since he had proposed he pregnancy had grown harder and harder. She was sick constantly, and very rarely had the energy to do much of anything. He was worried. Extremely so. He had been unsure of her wishes when she went into labour. His mother had never had any children aside from him and his sister, and Yuudai hadn't ranked high enough to be anywhere near any births. This was an entirely new experience for him. So he had situated himself just inside the entrance of the den, waiting for her to call on him or need him in anyway.

He could feel her pain, every cry gripping his heart painfully. Yuudai softly spoke to her, despite his own tears at the children they lost. He did his best to remain strong for her. To be there for her. He had no idea she blamed herself, in fact Yuu had already started blaming himself. If only he had been more attentive. If only he had helped her more. Surely there was something he could have done to prevent this.

She was so tightly wound around their only surviving son when Yuudai finally found the courage to approach her. He was slow and methodical in his approach. Doing his best to ignore the tiny bodies to the side. He would deal with them in a moment.

Yuudai dropped his head to Hiromi's. Kissing her cheek gently as he frame shook with tears. "Hiro." He whispered in her ear, a sadness in his tone. "He is beautiful." Yuu thought it best to distract her, and focus on their son. "What shall we call him?" He smiled softly at her, as he dropped his head further, to gently brush his nose along his head.
