Chapter 20 part 2
"It's a girl!"
As soon as we heard the news we all cheered with joy happy for Yuko and Atsuko on their newborn girl. We weren't allowed to go in until they had finished up but when they were ready we all entered the room and saw Atsuko sitting in the bed alone. We wondered where the baby was and Atsuko said she was in the incubator since she was a premature birth and would need to be monitored for a while. Yuko went down to the room where the babies were held and we all looked through the glass. There were several other babies in the room so we had to read the tags and eventually we were able to find her. In the corner of the room there was a baby with a pink flower on the tag and there was Yuko's baby. On the name tag it said,
"Oshima Mai."
That must be the name that Atsuko gave the baby and by the looks of Yuko she seemed happy. There was a wide smile on her face but also tears of joy leaking from her eyes. She walked back into Atsuko's room where she was resting comfortably leaned back on the bed. Yuko walked over to her and said,
"She's beautiful."
"I know Yuuchan. She's going to be such a beautiful~"
"Just like her mother~"
The two started to get lovey dovey so the rest of us took this as our cue to leave. Mariko, Jurina and Rena all left but Yuki and I stayed to talk to Yuko about the thing with Takamina now that the baby is born. When Yuko had left to let Atsuko sleep, we took her to another room with a doctor where we discussed what was going to happen. The doctor said that if the baby shows signs of the disease then the baby will have two days to live. However if we're lucky we either have a cure or the baby doesn't have the disease at all. The signs don't show up for the first couple of hours so we'd have to wait until then. The thought of the disease scared Yuko to death because I could see it on her face. She was scared and I'm sure if Atsuko knew she would be terrified. We were all hoping that the baby wouldn't show signs of the disease but all we could do was wait. Therefore we all went home and I decided to spend the night with Yuko to keep her comfy since Atsuko wasn't going to be there. I had just finished changing and I walked in seeing Yuko sitting at her table drinking a glass of alcohol. I walked over and pulled the glass away from her saying,
"What are you doing?"
"Having a drink. What does it look like?"
"You should stop now Yuko. Do you want your daughter seeing this?"
"I may not have a daughter Mayu so what's the point?"
"Yuko don't you dare give up on your child. There's still hope she couldn't have the disease at all."
"Yeah a 32% chance."
Yuko was still pretty upset and I could see it in her eyes the way she stared at the alcohol in her glass. She was thinking of the future she may never have if their little girl doesn't live. I admit I felt bad for Yuko so I simply patted her back and tried to get her mind off the negative things. I decided to ask her questions about what she was going to do with the baby like what kind of clothes she got her and what kind of toys. What kind of games they would play together and places they would go to together. What kind of school she would go to as well growing up. I got Yuko to imagine her baby's first steps and her first word. Her first time in the rain and in the snow or her first pet. Meeting new friends and growing up into a beautiful young lady one day. I had to keep her mind on the positive side because I felt if I didn't then she would just give up completely. We stayed up most of the night talking about things but then Yuko said she wanted to sleep so we got ready for bed and I said goodnight to Yuko before heading to my room. I really did hope Yuko was going to be alright after all the madness that she has to put up with. The fear of losing her child is definitely going to effect her sleep tonight if anything. However I couldn't let that stop me so I took the negative thoughts out of my head and then went to bed.
I was sleeping in my bed quietly when suddenly I heard a shout and a crash. I ran into Yuko's room to see what was going on. Inside Yuko was jumping up and down with a huge smile on her face shouting cheers of joy and excitement. When she saw me she rushed over to me and grabbed me by my shoulders. She shook me hard nearly popping my arm out of socket saying,
"She doesn't have it Mayu! She doesn't have it!"
"Eh?"
"The doctor just called me and said my baby doesn't have the disease!"
"Really? That's great Yuko!"
"I'm so happy!"
Yuko stared running around the room jumping with joy happy that such good thing had happened to her. The happiness was overwhelming and Yuko was really getting into it until suddenly we got a call from the hospital again. Yuko's expression of happiness turned into a face of shock and horror. She said little words and then she hung up. She turned around and screamed in agony as if she was in pain and then she started crying. I asked her what was going on but she ignored me and started get dressed getting ready to head out to the hospital. She turned to me and said,
"It's Atsuko..."
We made it to the hospital and were confronted by one of the doctors. She came over to us and asked who was Yuko. Yuko stepped forward and the doctor took her to another room where they had talked for about a half hour and then Yuko came out with tears in her eyes. She told me that Atsuko had the disease and she wasn't going to have much time to live since it spreads faster in the adults. We didn't know how this could have happened but now all Yuko was worried about was the fact that she was going to lose her wife if she didn't do anything. Yuko rushed to Atsuko's room and held her hand trying to fight back her tears. Atsuko was passed out but she had a breathing mask on and she had a heart monitor along with a couple IV's. It wasn't looking good for Atsuko not knowing how much time she was going to have. I felt terrible for Yuko and wanted to do something to try to help her. Then I remembered Takamina was still in Osaka and there was still a chance to get a cure. I ran out the hospital and went to my house to get my fastest car. I got in and sped down to Osaka going 90 miles an hour speeding past people and driving like a mad man. I managed to make it to Osaka in two hours flat and I walked over to Takamina's house. I didn't even knock I just busted into the house and Takamina shouted at me.
"Mayu what the hell?!"
"Takamina listen you need to come back with me to Tokyo."
"I told you already Mayu I'm not going now get the hell out before I call the police."
"Takamina the baby was born and it's a girl."
"That's great what else is new?"
"Atsuko is sick Takamina.. she's going to die within in the next couple hours."
Takamina stopped and looked at me with a solid stare not even blinking. The air seemed to grow colder and time had stopped between the two of us. Takamina then said,
"You're lying..."
I couldn't believe what she had just said to me and so I responded saying,
"Takamina I'm not lying. Atsuko is in the hospital dying."
"You're lying!"
Takamina came at me with fists and tried to punch me but I dodged and avoided it. However Takamina tried to attack me again and managed to hit me good. I had forgotten how strong Takamina was despite the change in the body. I ducked and then tackled Takamina to the ground getting on top of her. I tried to pin her back but she punched me hard in the stomach knocking the air out of me. Luckily though I managed to pin Takamina's head down and I said to her,
"Why would I be lying about the woman you love?!"
"Because she's an evil lying bitch!"
"How could you say that about her?!"
"Because she banged me then left like I was nothing before I even had a chance to tell her how I felt. She didn't care about me at all!"
"Minami do you even know what she named her child?"
"No and I don't care!"
"Oshima Mai!!!"
"Mai?"
Takamina calmed down and I got off her helping her back up. She seemed shocked and surprised to hear that name and I didn't exactly know what that name meant to her but it seemed to have settled her down.
"Mai was my mother's name.. She died when I was young and I always told Atsuko that I would name my daughter that when I had a child.."
"See Takamina? She does care about you so please come back with me before it's too late."
Takamina was silent for a while but then she said,
"Take me to her."
I drove Takamina back to Toyko to the hospital where she talked to the doctors about the treatment option for Atsuko. They would need some of her blood and tissue samples but that was all. Takamina agreed to help and so they took her somewhere else while I went to go talk to Yuko. I walked in and saw her holding Atsuko's hand who was barely hanging on to life. I told Yuko that I managed to bring Takamina back and she was willing to give a cure. Yuko nearly collapsed right there and then when she heard the good news about Atsuko and Takamina. They were making a cure right now for her and so we were all excited and hoping they would hurry. An hour later they came out and said they had a cure and so they were going to administer it right away. We had to leave though so Yuko, Takamina and I all went out to Mariko's bar to sit down and have a drink. We all sat down at the bench and when Mariko saw Takamina she was very surprised as well.
"It's good to see you Takamina." Mariko said.
"Same to you Mariko. I've seen you on TV a lot lately."
"So how have you been?"
"Good. I get by with the fishing market and make a decent buck."
As the two chatted I looked over at Yuko who was sitting quietly drinking her beverage. I noticed she wasn't drinking alcohol but instead she was drinking soda. Looks like Yuko took my advice when I told her not to drink alcohol anymore. However I think tonight is an exception for her so I bought her a good glass and we had fun. We had all the right to be happy and celebrate for Atsuko and Takamina. That night we managed to convince Takamina to stay in Tokyo and she would stay with Mariko until she can find a new job and get a new place. We offered her money but she refused it and said she was going to make her own. We were all happy to have Takamina back and most of the gang was now here. Things were getting better now and hopfully that's all we need to worry about it and everything else has passed.
The next day I went to see how Atsuko was doing and I saw her and Yuko with their baby girl sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms. She looked so tiny since she was a premature birth and that also meant that she was going to be short. I made a joke with Yuko about it and she whacked me one but hey it was funny. Atsuko said I could hold out my finger and the baby would hold it so I did it and watched her tiny hand wrap around my finger. It was just a precious moment that I didn't want to end. However there was a knock on the door and in came Takamina holding a thing of flowers. She walked over slowly and placed the flowers in a vase. She then turned to Atsuko and said,
"Hello.. Atsuko."
"Takamino?"
"It's Takamina now. Long time no see nee?"
"You really have changed Takamina. It's good to see you again and thank you for everything."
"It's good to see you as well Atsuko."
"So you named the baby after my mother?"
"Un I remembered your goal Takamina I just made it real."
"Arigatou."
Takamina smiled and then said her goodbyes before leaving. With everything settled, I went back to the house to see how Rena and Yuki were doing since I haven't been home in a while. I walked inside and I was shocked to see Rena on top of Yuki and they were both half dressed. My face turned a different shade of red and I was speechless seeing Yuki's breasts pressed against Rena's and Rena's leg between Yuki's just touching that sensitive spot. I thought they were going to get it on so I apologized for stepping in and then quietly got ready to leave. However I felt myself get pulled back and then pulled onto the couch. Rena rushed over to me covering her chest saying,
"It's not what you think!"
"Don't get anything wrong ideas." Yuki said.
"T-then what happened?"
Rena explained to me how she was changing a lightbulb and was trying to get to it but she was too short even with the ladder so she had Yuki help her. Yuki wasn't tall enough either so Yuki got on the ladder and then she had Rena stand on top of her shoulders to try to replace the lightbulb. They managed to change it but then Rena had fallen and on the way down she grabbed Yuki's shirt pulling it down. Yuki on the other hand tried to catch her so she grabbed Rena's shirt and pulled it up actually pulling it off. They had fallen on top of each other and that was when I had walked in. So they weren't doing anything pervy as far as I know of but still it was quite a sight to see. I told Yuki and Rena the good news and the two squealed with joy. Everyone was happy and so we would have a big dinner tonight so Rena got ready to start cooking along with the help of the kids. In the meantime I went up to my room so I could lay down and relax after such a long day of rushing and fighting. I just wanted to lay down and take a nice nap so as soon as I plopped onto my bed I laid down and shut my eyes. I was about to fall asleep but then I felt the weight shift on my bed. I was going to turn around but I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist. They pulled me into a warm body and then a sweet voice said,
"I'm so proud of you Mayu."
"For what?"
"You did all that for Yuko driving down to Osaka and getting Takamina to come back. It must have been a lot of work."
"Well it wasn't easy." I said sighing.
"Then how about I give you a reward."
"Hmmm?"
Yuki flipped me over and then pulled me in closer to her body. I could feel her heart beating a calm and steady pace giving me a relaxed feeling. I was pleased where I was now but then Yuki suddenly took my chin and lifted it up making me stare at her eyes. She had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes as she stared down on me. Then she pulled me in and kissed me on the lips again just like last time. I felt a spark between our lips and my heart started to beat rapidly as I felt the warm and soft texture of Yuki's lips against mine. I had actually forgotten what it felt like to kiss Yuki but I liked the feeling. We held for a long time before Yuki pulled back and licked her lips giving me a sexy look. I could see it in her eyes with what she was trying to lead on but I wouldn't let her so I quickly turned around before she could do anything. I heard her giggle and then wrap herself around me once more smiling and stroking my sides. I told her I wasn't in the mood and she knew but she liked holding my sides. Honestly Yuki could be such a child sometimes but I guess that was one of the many things I adored about Yuki. I have to admit the feeling of her body next to mine felt really good and her scent reminded me of the flowers I used to pick when I was a child. Everything about Yuki was lovely to me and I want more of Yuki but I have to wait and be patient since we are still in a bet after all. If only we weren't in a bet then maybe.. maybe we could actually be together.
