Hello, it's me, Ryoshi again.
Since that day, when I saved her and finally gave that heartless Shiro what was coming, Ryoko's world has been no short of brighter. The events of that day became local news on television where Shiro's true motives were broadcasted to the world and he was exposed as the black hearted stalker that he was. Many of Ryoko's old middle school friends could not believe their ears or eyes when they saw video footage, courtesy of our friends at the Otogi Bank, that showed who Shiro truly was.
Because of his "latest" actions, Shiro was arrested and sentenced to solitary confinement. To me, that means he'll be FAR away from Ryoko for the rest of his life. And ever since then, I think Ryoko's "wolf veil" has completely lifted and she was free to tell me everything, knowing the "curse" of Shiro was no more. Ringo and I couldn't be happier to see Ryoko smile so purely now.
But that's not important right now. What IS important is that you've arrived at just the right time. Today is when Ryoko's baby is about to be born...
Okami-san and her Wolf Cub
Chapter 06: Okami-san's Amazing Blessing
Today opens in Otogibana Hospital, on a day which was a few months after the events of that day. We find Ryoko and Ryoshi in a separate hospital room all their own. Ryoko was seen in a hospital gown and resting in bed as Ryoshi showed her all the cards she received that wished her a safe birth. Most of them were from her old middle school friends, apologizing for not believing her about Shiro.
"Isn't it funny Ryoko? Here we are...about to become parents ourselves." Ryoshi asked. Ryoko looked to him and nodded.
"Yeah. Its totally weird. We NEVER would've thought of anything like this when we first met." she added. Ryoshi lightly chuckled, remembering back to all the times she struck him when they were in high school together and how much he would make her blush.
"So...any word from the doctor yet?" Ryoko asked. Ryoshi nodded.
"They're all set. They're just waiting for the "cue" from you. So, whenever you're ready..." he explained. Ryoko nodded.
"Oh. Okay." she said. Just then, there was a knock at the door and they both looked to see Liszt with the other Otogi Bank members there.
"Hello there. I hope we're not late for the baby's birthday." Liszt teased. Ryoshi chuckled.
"Nope. Not yet. The doctor's are just finishing getting ready." Ryoshi commented. They all entered and gathered themselves around Ryoko's bed. Otohime patted Ryoko's shoulder.
"Good luck in there Ryoko. We'll all be rooting for you and Ryoshi." Otohime said. Ryoko nodded, thanking her. Alice adjusted her glasses.
"No doubt things are going to get crazy in there. But hopefully, you're strong enough to get through it Ryoko." she said. Ryoko took those words a little "less" than what Otohime said, feeling Alice was teasing her. Otsu chuckled.
"I'm still so jealous of the two of you. A pair of lovers whose about to give birth to a new baby." Otsu said, beginning to cry.
"If you're so jealous, why don't you find a guy yourself Otsu? Hee! I can help you!" Majolica exclaimed. Otsu gasped and turned bright red, turning away from Majolica.
"M-Majolica! Seriously! Stop that!" she exclaimed. But just then, she found she turned face first into Taro, looking down at her.
"Don't worry my dear Otsu. I'm sure, one day, you'll be able to have such a happy moment yourself." Taro said, speaking softly into her ear. But Otohime heard him and grabbed hold of his shirt collar.
"Taro dear...WHAT were you just saying?" she asked, chuckling afterwards. Taro gulped and felt himself being yanked backwards by Otohime.
"O-Otohime! Listen! It...It was just me encouraging her! I-I wasn't trying to SUGGEST anything!" Taro exclaimed. The others continued to watch as Otohime dragged Taro into the nearby empty room.
"Oh boy. There they go again." Momoko sighed. Just then, there was another knock at the door and Ryoshi looked to see Machiko Himura. Her arms were tucked behind her back.
"M-Machiko?" he asked. She approached the side of the bed and bent down, looking straight at Ryoko.
"Hey Ryoko. Sorry I'm late. When Yukime told me you already left, I rushed here as soon as I could. I wanted to give you this." she said. She showed Ryoko a small vase of flowers with a large red ribbon around the vase.
"Its something I thought you'd like. Its to congratulate you on your baby." she said. Ryoko lightly chuckled.
"Thank you Machiko. They're absolutely beautiful." she said. Machiko smiled and asked Ryoshi if he could set them down somewhere. Just as he did, a nurse arrived at the doorway.
"Excuse me, Miss Okami? We're all ready for you. Are you all set?" she asked. All eyes looked to the door as Ryoshi looked to Ryoko nodding.
"Yeah. I'm all set." she said.
~ OKAMI-SAN and her SEVEN COMPANIONS ~
Ryoko and Ryoshi were moved together into the delivery room as everyone waited outside in the hall, each taking a seat for themselves. All was quiet for a while until they all heard the agonizing sounds of Ryoko screaming in pain.
"Oh my goodness! What's going on in there?!" Otsu gasped. Liszt chuckled.
"That, my dear Otsu, is the miracle of birth you're hearing." he said. But soon after, they heard Ryoshi yelling as well.
"And THAT?" Alice asked. Liszt seemed to remain quiet to that sound, not wanting to say a word.
"Geez. Just what is Ryoshi doing? There's no reason for him to be screaming." Machiko asked. Momoko looked on with concern on her face, probably guessing the pain Ryoko was in. Inside, we find Ryoko situated on her bed and Ryoshi at her side, grasping tightly onto his hand with all her might. Ryoshi was howling because of how tightly she grasped onto him.
"R-Ryoko! I know you're in a lot of pain, but that doesn't mean I have to feel it too!" Ryoshi exclaimed. Ryoko groaned and glared at Ryoshi out of the corner of her eye.
"W-Well, how'd YOU feel if you were trying to push a watermelon out your butt?!" Ryoko exclaimed "I need something to hang onto here!" Ryoko started to push again, yelling loudly as she gripped onto Ryoshi's hand.
"Just hang in there Ryoshi! This is for Ryoko! Just...ignore the pain!" he thought to himself. Ryoko stopped to catch her breath before the process continued, encouraged by the doctor to keep her breathing up.
"You're doing great Miss Okami! Almost there!" the doctor called. Ryoko stopped for a minute before giving it one last heavy push.
"DAGH!" Ryoko howled. As she kept herself clamped to Ryoshi, the sound of a baby's crying broke the air. Ryoko and Ryoshi gasped, both looking down towards her legs.
"Is...Is it...?" Ryoko asked. The doctor stood back up and nodded, showing her a small infant in his arms. The baby was seen crying, having taken its first breath.
"Congratulations you two! Its a baby girl!" he said. Ryoko gasped as Ryoshi lightly smiled. After a bit of clean up, the baby was wrapped in a blanket and given to Ryoko. The baby continued to cry in her arms as Ryoko looked down at the child.
"Hello there little girl. Welcome to the world." she whispered. Hearing her mother's voice, the baby began to coo quietly as its eyes slowly opened to see her and Ryoshi.
"Just look at her Ryoko. She's absolutely beautiful." he said. The baby looked in surprise at Ryoshi as he brought his hand in slowly to tickle her chin. She took hold of Ryoshi's hand and began sucking on his fingertip.
"Aww! What a cutie!" Ringo's voice exclaimed. Ryoko and Ryoshi gasped, looking towards the doors to see their friend entering the room via the nurse's permission.
"Ooh! She's so adorable Ryoko! She looks like an angel!" Ringo squealed. When Ryoshi asked what she was doing here, Ringo said that, as Ryoko's friend, she gets first glance at her new baby.
"Heh heh. She sure is Ringo." Ryoko said. She gently rocked the infant in her arms as the baby seemed to fall asleep in her arms. Ryoshi smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"So, what do you think we should name her Ryoko?" he asked. Ryoko looked to him and then back down at the child.
"If it was a girl, I had plenty of names in mind. But there was one I had in mind from the start. How about...Emi Morino?" she asked. Ryoshi lightly gasped, blushing as Ryoko gave the child his last name. He looked to her and saw she was smiling at him.
"Emi...what a beautiful name." Ringo said. Ryoko smiled, cradling the infant Emi in her arms.
With Emi Morino's birth, Ryoko's world just lit up. She was a mother now, something she wanted to be ever since her days in middle school. Soon after her birth, Ryoshi moved into Ryoko's dorm room with her and with hard work and dedication, Ryoshi saved up enough money for him and Ryoko to be officially wed. All their friends from Otogi Bank were there for the wedding as well.
Today, Ryoko has returned to her training at the gym, trying to become strong for her baby should anything come. But around home with Ringo and Ryoshi, having moved into his aunt's apartment complex after the wedding, she is a loving and caring mother, eager to show Emi everything about Otogibana City. So, with Ryoshi at her side while raising little Emi...
All's well that ends well...
