[CHUCK MCCOY]

✧ RIP ✧

Every day’s a pipe dream.

Me n’ my girl, my girl alone!! By herself she’s the whole dream come true, full send, the highest vibration of my soul’s essence. How the hell a guy like me end up with an angel like her? I’d never figured it out. Not in seven years, ain’t gonna comprehend it in all our lives to come. Anyway, we hit the heart of the summer n’ were full sailing. We had our house, got our bag from whackass Tink n’ all his evil machinations. Hung out with my cuz as much as we could, gawked at her collections. I quit my janitorial duties, helping get our house ready n’ doing things for Tomoko, Haru n’ Azusa on the side. The most insane thing ain’t even sunlight streaming through undulating endless waves of trees in the morning. It was still waking up to her in my arms. Like it ain’t all a fantasy I’d made up or something I’d started projecting onto reality. Biggest change of all to me? Kazashi was pregnant. Like, real pregnant. Like, gonna pop in a couple weeks, got me lookin’ at the calendar ten times a day.

Some things ain’t ever gonna change, tho. “N’ we’re here!” I was hella grinnin’, veering into the parking lot of one of the parks back in the city. It’s aglow with summer lanternflies, the light of kids laughin’ n’ couples racin’ around with each other. Young n’ old, it’s crazy how we’re everyone at once. I see parents with strollers walkin’ around nowadays and get such a gut punch of joy it almost has me spinnin’. I had on my summer fit, a weapon or two hidden at the holster at my waistline!! “Betcha can’t guess where I’m takin’ you, baby!” I parked the car, walking over to the other side so I could open up her door and hold my arms out to her. Very gingerly, fingertips practically jazzyin’ it up I was so happy. “C’mere, princess.”

Just like that, spring became summer and their old apartment was replaced with a brand new house. She was still getting used to the difference. She didn't feel like they lacked space in their old place, but the house was a whole 'nother level of big! She felt like they were the King and Queen of their own castle waking up next to him in the morning, no sound of the city outside, no car horns honking, no polluted air, just peaceful bird song to lull them awake.

''Already?'' She blinked her eyes awake, had she been asleep, or was it just a daydream? She was getting so fatigued these days that she sometimes couldn't tell. Looking out the car window she smiled seeing so many people about. ''It's beautiful here.'' She unbuckled her seat belt and took his hand as he offered to help her out of the car. She loved that he did it, had since day one, but these days she was needing it more and more with the extra weight she wasn't used to carrying around. ''Ya an' yer surprises. ~'' She hummed, ''Where, where?'' She grinned, kissing his forehead on her way out of the car. She was dressed in her own summer fit too, hella didn't care that she had a massive baby bump, she was still going to dress cute for her man!

She was feeling a bit of pain, but she buried it for now. She had accepted that while being pregnant her body was just going to do weird things, no need to freak out over every little thing she felt.

“Already,” I softly repeated after her, fighting the overwhelming urge to kiss her dewy eyelids then. It drove me mad wild, ‘cause cute as she was sleepy-like it so often was a sign of our demon snotlings feasting off her body n’ all the energy she had to offer. I worried about her all the time. It’s one thing to have one baby do it, but two? Damn!! I’d hella picked up more tasks around the house, meal prepped 10,000 breakfast burritos to get ready for the stork’s delivery - but no amount of things I could do would give her energy back. In so many ways, she had to be completely alone in that journey. Hang in there, baby. “Hella pales in comparison to you, tho.” I cracked a grin, eyeing her up n’ down as she got out the car like her lecherous husband I was!! My wife was HOTT! A supermodel angel with cotton candy hair strewn around vibrant cherry horns, I ain’t got a single doubt everyone would see the fit she was wearing n’ wonder what brand sponsorship Apparel ws rockin’ this time! I leaned in as she kissed my forehead, slipped my hands over her forearms n’ kissed her lightly on the lips.

“I like surprising you,” I teased, a thumb flicking up and down her right horn. Interlocking our hands together, another arm slung softly to her back, I’d walk us into the park. Not too far. Not too fast. It was a whole different tempo we’d become accustomed to, n’ angry ass, violent, impulsive me loved it every second. Gave me more time to marvel her, like I was hand-chosen by time’s current to live out each moment with her in its full saturation. All its sweetness, all her beauty spinning around me. “They have a helluva lotta benches whenever we want to stop.” I squeeze her hand, then grin again. “Your choice, Zāzā!! Wanna hot chocolate first, or do you want balloon animals?”

She cracked a grin too at his compliment. ''Yer just sayin' that. ~'' She cooed, wrapping her arms around him as she got out of the car. ''If yer tryin' ta flatter me so Ah'll kiss ya, it's workin'.'' She traced her arms along his body to cup his back and the back of his head, closing her eyes as they kissed. She loved every little adventure they went on, every surprise, every new destination discovered by driving in his car, she adored every step of the process all because her soulmate was here with her.

''Mm. Yer very good at it.'' She closed one eye as his thumb touched her horn, blushing lightly. ''Didn't we go to a park on our first date too?'' She still remembered that day, how much she wanted to impress him, how much fun she ended up having and the high she was riding all the way home and for the rest of the week after until they saw each other again. She squeezed his hand and playfully nudged into him. ''Looks like we weren't the only ones comin' out there today.'' She looked around at all the other people, young and old enjoying their time together. Her eyes lingered a beat longer on the baby strollers as well. ''That's nice, us tired people need the benches.'' She chuckled, ''how about some hot chocolate? Yer already sweet, but Ah don't mind gettin' some more sugar.'' She leaned in and kissed the top of his head.

The smuggest grin found my face, whole body falling deeper in love with her as she tugged me closer to her. “Bingo, baby!! That’s it!” My head n’ back rest into the cradle of her hands n’ all is right in the world. Always was, long as she was there. “You’re hella onto me… how’d you know?” I leaned up and in for one more kiss of those irresistible lips. Before we’d head into the park, I’d swing by the trunk, pull out a mini duffle bag n’ swing it over my free shoulder. It had a couple throw blankets, something to make the benches comfier or something she could put over her legs since she got colder there nowadays. Lotions, lil accouterments of the cutest pregnant wife and her fool.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her then, euphoria cascading into my spine seeing her enjoy the touch. Enjoying the memory of that day vicariously through her sweetest voice, infinity in every angle. “We did, huh? Met the obachan. Booked it back before that damn curfew.” Just our luck that the university would loosen up a lotta those rules soon as she graduated. Damn UAU!! You’ll piss me off forever!! “We hella do!!” I burst out laughing. “I’m washed by 9:00 pm now.” My eyes softened, baby strollers still coasting by in memory long after they’d already passed. A wide grin came over my mug at what she said, hand gently rubbing her fingertips in my own. I grinned up at her as she kissed the top of a head, bright as a damn kid in a candystore!! “Kiss me like that n’ you can have anything you want!!” Her just existing made my answer the hella same!! I walked us up to the hot chocolate counter, filled with all kindsa summer toppings n’ rainbow sprinkles n’ this n’ that. Who knew a park could do luxury hot chocolate? Whenever she picked exactly what she wanted, I’d make my choice too and pay for us.

''Don't be alarmed...'' She held him there for a second, closed her eyes as she kissed his forehead, cherishing every little second of that moment in his presence. ''But Ah've been watchin' ya ever since we started datin'.'' She winked, could he blame her? If he saw himself the way she saw him he would hella oogle too, she was lucky he was her husband! She leaned in to meet his kiss, kissing him back as her arms trailed to his back and she hugged him close to her. ''Ya really thought of everythin'.'' She smiled as he took out the duffel bag, reaching her hand over to take his once it was free again.

''Yeah.'' She chuckled, ''that damn curfew. Students today don't know how easy they have it.'' She joked, remembering full well the nights she considered saying screw UAU and staying out with Chuck, but she never did. Not that any of that mattered anymore, they had all the time in the world to each other and their growing family now. ''Right? Ah guess we're growin' old an' wrinkly.'' She mock-sighed, ''but yer still hella cute even if ya grow wrinkles or gray hairs'' She grinned cheekily, giving his hand a squeeze. ''Anythin'? Anythin' Ah want?'' She smirked, her tone a little deeper when she repeated it. ''Ya never know what Ah'd wish for, Chuck-kun, ya better be careful.'' She licked her lips, her mind going places that weren't appropriate for this park setting!!

Standing in line her eyes immediately settled on the rainbow sprinkles. They had a lot to be happy about, but times had been tough lately too. Between moving, building a house, Chuck working more than ever and her pregnancy almost being over they were both hella busy. All this to say, she was in the mood for a hot chocolate with some pretty colors.

Once they had paid and gotten their drinks she felt something from within her body again. Was her tummy upset? She hadn't eaten anything bad, only the most delicious Chuck breakfast burritos and she was generally never sensitive to food in the past. She chose to ignore it and try to push past it, didn't want to worry her soulmate when it was just a little bit of pain. What she couldn't hide was how her face was slowly getting paler. ''It's nice out.. Isn't it? Not too hot, not too cold.''

✧ RIP ✧

My body melts into her arms. Have you ever been swathed in warmth so great it made you immortal? It’s amatory awe and inspiration all at once, breathing in her soft skin so close to my face. No evil, no enemy. Long as we held each other like this, ain’t anythin’ coming between us or our kids. On God, swear my whole life on it. “Y-you have, huh?” Her wink made me weak at the knees, near buckling in the way she met my kiss. Hooded white eyes gazed upon her in interminable appreciation. “Cool, Zāzā. Cause my eyes ain’t leave yours, either.” An irideless, extra pair of them cut through the skin of my cheeks to marvel upon her. “SEE?” I was ugly cackling. I usually ain’t use my regen in that way ‘cause it ain’t like I see any better with extra eyes, but I’d do anything to joke with her!! Then I’d blush when she said what she did, too shy to say how I felt in those seconds. That she already did so much, and I was just playing my part as her fearlessly devoted husband n’ simp. “I love you,” I whisper instead, hooking her soft fingertips through my rough own as soon as she reaches for it.

“They ain’t even know!! Spoiled lil ■■■■’s.” The distance at the time had been killer, so was trying to squeeze in an infinity’s worth of our teenage fantasies into a few short hours on the weekends. I was hella proud of her for committing to it, despite all the trouble, n’ proud of myself for not driving straight into the school!! I grin at her hella cute mock sigh, looking up, so in love with her. “Y-you think so baby?!” I lick my lips as I squeeze her hand back, the stupidest, most feral expression over my face!! “Your wrapper may wrinkle but the candy’s still gonna be hella sweet.” See what I mean? Her sweetness gets my heart beating funny, blood rapid-fire rushing to places signed only by her name. “Anything,” I whisper back, falling deeper into the well of her seduction. My voice drops an octave. “Bet? Try me, baby.”

I was hella happy seeing my baby pick her drink. Rainbow sprinkles, fit for the celebration of our lives. On the inside tho, I was thinkin’ right along the same lines as her. So much shit had been happening lately. N’ just like that, with our kids coming, we were on the cusp of a whole other transition together. I was unbelievably happy… and also wanted quiet Disney movies on the couch together. Taking a slow sip from my own, pink, purple n’ blue sprinkles floating atop a mountain of cream, I’d nod at what she says. It was nice. “Hell yeah. Feel good, ain’t it?” I turn my head to hers and my heart suddenly drops through my stomach. “Hey-” a hand comes up to cup her cheek - “you alright?”

“Mm.” She confirmed, her hand brushing a strand of hair behind his ear. She loved holding him like this, would hella catch him and scoop him up if his knees buckled too. Hooded cross eyes looked back at him, then she was giggling when he used his quirk to make a joke. She saw a side of him that no one else did. The Chuck who was a hardened villain, killing people without skipping a beat, he also had a soft side. He was funny, handsome, and unbelievably gentle with her. His heartbeat and laughter? A top charting evergreen in her soul, she could play him on repeat and never get tired. Those fancy instruments scientists point at planets to hear what they sound like, if they all pointed them at Pluto they’d hella agree he sounds the cutest. “Ah’d grow eyes ta look at ya too if Ah could!” She nudged him playfully. “Love ya too, nerd.” She lived to see him blush.

Her doting on him, calling him cute even when he grew old one day was turned on her hella fast! “R-Really?” She blushed, her face tomato red as she rubbed a gentle circle into the back of his hand with her thumb. Her heart beat faster after his whisper, head spinning with thoughts of them together. “Ch-Chuchu what if someone hears us?” She glanced around, praying no one was within earshot of their sinful conversation. “Y-Ya just wait until we get home Ah’ll show ya.” She whispered back, lifting his hand up to give it a smooch. Totally nice recovery!! That’ll hella show him!

“Yeah. It’s hard ta put inta words, but days like this are special.” She grinned smugly, “days with ya always are.” She teased before taking a long sip of her hot choco. “H-Huh?” Suddenly something felt wrong again, was it the drink? No, there was no way it was poisoned. “Chuck-kun.. I’m gonna sound crazy.” She felt the cold sweat start to run down her face. Reaching out to hold onto him she started breathing a little heavier, dropping her cup. “Ah think..” She tensed up, taking a deep breath before she continued her sentence. The building pain was unmistakable. “It’s the lil ones.” She looked into his eyes, fear and panic painted across her face. They were out in public, why now of all times? Was something wrong? Wasn’t she due in a couple of weeks? “Ah think it’s time.”

A throaty groan of appreciation rumbles out my lips when she does that. Low key, I hella kept my hair long just for that!! Any excuse for her to touch me, lure her deep into my underworld. Could never fathom how exemplary perfection, an angel disguised under devil horns n’ the sharpest teeth with the cutest soul could have found me. My hip damn near gives out when she nudges me, I was swoonin’ that hard for her!! “I-I’ll gawk at ya with all four eyes for both of us then!” I swore, dazed, holding onto her with stars spinning above my head. She’s cosmic radiance. Charon, the brightest in the sky. I couldn’t bite back the smile at hearing her say it back, red fiercely climbing over the blue of my neck n’ face.

“Really, my lil nerd.” I bask in her blush, the softness of her thumb stroking my hand stirring up all my insides. Truth was, I couldn’t wait to grow old with my love. To see seventy years, seasons, birthdays, hot cups of cocoa next to the Chrstmas tree all pass under her lunar luminescence. Should the sins of my kills not crush me, or claim my life in the universe’s grand order, I’d gladly succumb to heartbreak. For if she were to go first I’d follow her not days after. Each hour, its own inescapable chasm. Our kids, in their 60s by then, would get it, right? “Then I’ll beat ‘em up, baby!” I start stupidly, dragging her hips into my pelvis with a rough-soft tug. Soft, so our babies know they’re being hugged by daddy too!! “N’ we’ll take their asses to court for every damn yen piece for overhearin’ us!! That’ll pay for our kids’ University, right?!” I flashed her a big grin! We were gonna be rich!! ‘Sides, I ain’t care what anyone thought. I loved my wife, staring so moonstruck at what she said next I swore my jaw dropped. My hand then was hella warm. A light of hers emanating over the spot long after she pulled back up.

I ate up her smug grin, fingers dancing on her thigh. A special moment for the most special person in the whole wide world.

Then it all changes in two seconds.

Watching the cold sweat run down her face poured ice down my spine. All four arms instinctively reach out to hold her, her hitched breath stopping my heart. “Kaz-chan!!” I reflexively look around us, a snarl stricken over my face - was it an enemy?! All to come right back to her, the drop of her cup like glass shattering in my soul. I breathe in again. No enemy. It’s just her, me, n’ the rest of our lives before us now. “It’s time.” My eyebrows cock up, heart racing in my chest - “It’s time,” I say again, overwhelming anticipation catching crossfire from bewilderment. Love won above all. “It’s time!” I stare into her panic-struck eyes, lean in to give her the biggest hug these arms were capable of. “■■■■!! You wanna go have our kids?” I’d pull back, stare deep into those cross eyes that haunt me every moment of every day with her beauty. Real life, memory or some dream in-between. “You’re going to be amazing.” I am here. I’d gather up our things stat and offer to carry her. If not, I’d gently guide her along every step to the car, squeezing her hand tight, a dozen different maps to my cousin twisting about in my overstuffed head!

She lived for his little groans, his smiles, his every reaction and all of his attention. “Okay then.” She held onto him too, giggling and making sure he wasn’t falling over even though she knew it took more than that. Still, just in case she wanted to be able to catch him. “But then Ah get ta kiss ya every time Ah catch ya lookin’.” She licked her lips, drunk on the red that flushed into his cheek.

Being called his little nerd did funny things to her heart, brought her to the happiest places with him. Cuddled up on the couch or in bed on a cold, rainy day and binging shows and movies until sundown. “Y-Yeah?” She blushed again, she was barely holding back the giggles, then burst out laughing fully once he revealed his devious scheme. “All of ‘em? There could be a lot of people out in public.” She took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him too and pull him into a hug. “Yer cute, did ya know that?” She muttered into his hair, giving him a small kiss on the side of his head.

The way she held onto him after dropping her drink was much more panicked, like he was her only anchor in a sea of darkness. “Yeah- Ah think so, Ah don’t know but somethin’ feels weird!” She was scared, speaking in a more hushed and fast tone than usual. Her heart skipped a beat when he asked her the question that would turn this walk in the park into a core memory. “Yeah.” She smiled, eyes getting watery just looking into the happiness of his. She had nothing to be scared of, even if it was all happening earlier than expected. She wrapped her arms around him as he offered to carry her, looking up at his face to calm herself down as she tried to focus on taking deep breaths. She just had to hold out until they got to Megumi. She squeezed his hand back but she felt weaker than ever.

This day would play on repeat in my memory the rest of my life. Just would, the fate-struck tale of our kids’ birthday. I had no idea then. Each moment with Kazashi was so special, her laughs n’ smiles like stars falling into my heart. I’m grinnin’ in these last moments of our lives pre-kids, so in love with her n’ her hold on me like I’d always be. “Hell yeah!! I’ll sneak extra looks then!!” Couldn’t tear my eyes away from her blush, a hand reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear - “It’s our lucky day then, baby!! Won the lottery suing all these ■■■■’s!” If I was five years younger I woulda twirled around in a circle then, middle fingers out, just so stupid and stupidly trying to impress her. I’m still stupid now, but there’d be no point to a gesture like that when I could tighten my hands to hers instead. Use our palms to build a future, a life, together. “T-thanks hun. But you’re the hella cutest. Ain’t no contest in the world to prove different!” There was no fight in my tone, somnolence on the edge of it when she wraps me up tight in her arms like that. My arms wrap around her back, one to the back of her neck, the kiss she gave me on the side of the head spinnin’ my world on its axis!!

I put on a tough face for her and that had to be one of the hardest things I’d ever done in my life. All the assassinations, mind-boggling black market operations, rival gang raids. All of that pales in comparison to those harrowing moments. Just hearing the panic pour through my girl’s heart, the way she held onto me - she was my whole world and if anythin’ ever happened to her I’d - “Hella weird!! We’re gonna figure this out, you n’ me and Megumi,” I whisper back, intentionally trying to speak slowly but prolly hella failing. But then I saw her smile, eyes watering, n’ I felt emotions I ain’t even able to name pass through me. Divine assurance? Overwhelming joy? I had no idea. My heart was racing as I ran us outta the park, curious onlookers a smudge in the periphery as I held onto her for dear life. I’d so carefully situate her in the car, jump the hood to get to my side and get goin.

“Hang in there, hun.” Her deep breaths echo across my soul. Squeezing her tight the whole time, another on the wheel, another pair would come out to get my phone and my cousin on speed dial!! “Hey cuz!!” I’d chirp if she picked up, “uhh we’re en route to you!” I was chokin’ back the most hysterical grin - “Gotta lil surprise!! Huh, Zāzā?” I’d hold the phone out to her if she wanted to say anything, swallowing the road by the second.

[attr="class","carvetext"]A neighborhood party happened the previous day which was why Megumi was still in bed at this hour. She had stayed up deceptively late compared to her usual routine, which put her in bed most days at 9. This time however, she was celebrating with the neighborhood with the start of summer which meant she didn't end up getting in until nearly 5 am.


The call from her cousin fully woke her up from her deep slumber. She took a moment to get her bearings and wipe the drool from her chin before answering her phone. "Heya Chuckie~ Oh? OH!" it would all click in her brain at once; she'd been keeping up with Kazashi's checkup for so long and preparing for this exact moment. She had taken the time to set up a Goose barrier for an adjacent room upstairs and cleaned out her junk to prepare a birthing area. [It went into a different closet]

"Ready for you two whenever! I've got everything set up!" she had called in a lot of favors to get actually proper medical equipment for this exact purpose. Her unorthodox medical methods weren't something she was willing to rely on when it came to the safe delivery of her 'niece' and 'nephew'. Tying her hair back, she'd get to work, sterilizing the area, and making sure the heart monitor, new bed, and epidural were ready to go.

''We'll be filthy rich.'' She smiled, nudging the side of her head gently into his hand as he tucked the strand of hair back. ''From yer perspective maybe, Ah think yer hella cuter.'' She took out her phone and put it to selfie mode, pointing the screen at him. ''See? Ya don't even have ta put in any effort yer just naturally cute.'' Hopefully something their kids would get from dad, his unending charm and rizz!!

She held onto him as they ran to the car, clutching to what felt like her only lifeline. She kept trying to take deep breaths, but could feel her heart pumping faster and faster as her nerves started acting up. She had stared down what should have been certain death more times than she could recall, but she was more scared of giving birth? She closed her eyes until they got to the car, opening them as he held her in so she could slowly put her seatbelt on. A cursory glance at the mirror and she could see how pale her face had already gotten. Her hands felt cold too as she held onto him, trying to keep her eyes focused on the road so that she didn't get sick. ''Ah'm scared, Chuck.'' She clutched his arm, smiling weakly. She looked at the phone for a second before answering. ''Hey, Megumi-chan? Ah think it's time even though it wasn't supposed ta happen for another two weeks... Sorry for the intrusion.''

While they drove all she could think about were the babies. Was what she was feeling normal? Were they going to be okay? They weren't somehow struggling and that was why all this was happening early? She would have to put her trust in Megumi and Chuck, that her pregnancy had been coming along without any complications so far and that everything was going to turn out okay.

''Ya think we're bargin' in? Ah hope she isn't mad.'' She smiled over at him, thinking about the smallest little details at a time like this. When he pulled up to her place Kaz was already taking her seatbelt off and ready to get out of the car.

I couldn’t stop gawkin’ at her. Hand alive where her head hugs the palm, every ounce of me pulsing with her essence. Kazashi had this way of bein’ straight up mesmerizing with everything she did - n’ when the phone came out, it was like I had all the more proof of an angel walking the earth in its glossy reflection. Horns swapped for her halo!! I gently tug her into the frame, the troll of me lookin’ so funny still next to a barbie. “Thank you baby. You’re hella the better half between us,” I start, pressing a fat kiss to her neck, “n’ have ya ever heard yourself talk in your sleep?! That’s the grand prize for all things naturally cute!!” I was evil grinnin’ with the tease!!

Every second from there was like an anchor to my soul. The love of my life’s deep breaths as the chain, her closed eyes casting darkness over an iron ocean. There’s a special hell in not being able to help the person you love the most. It’s like every moment we ever shared flashes before my eyes, her convo with my coworkers, lightning fast in and outta my tiny brain. I rub her shoulders and forearms best I can, clutching onto her all the tighter when she tells me she’s scared. Thought I prepared for what I’d say a thousand times over n’ it just ain’t right in the moment. Hearing Megumi’s voice was surreal, my moongirl’s after even all the more unreal. “ETA, x minutes from you,” I’d say lowly after Kazashi, cutting all the corners in my mental map to get there even faster.

Wake up wake up WAKE UP!!

At a stoplight, I take two hands off the wheel and SLAP my cheeks so hard the sky trades places with the road!! Then I look over to see the cutest girl in the whole wide universe, pale as can be, belly ready to pop, smilin’ at me. I blink. “N-no way, hun! She ain’t gonna be mad! Her, me, Mo, your mom, heh, listen, we are all just so goddamn excited for this.” When we got to the Hoard, I’d pull off my seatbelt n’ hop the hood, practically rip off her door with how wired I was. Then, gently, palms out, I bend down to my knees and take her hands. “Hey, listen. You are going to do so amazingly. It’s okay to be scared.” My voice is raw. “Our kids are so fucking lucky they got the best mom in the world. #1 Mom, Soulmate, MY HERO! They just can’t wait to meet you. That’s why they’re pushin’ early, a’ight?! You’re so good, singin’ to ‘em every morning, makin’ their lil devil zombie socks, they just can’t wait any longer! Can ya blame em?” I chuckle. “I love you,” I say before leaning in to kiss her tum. “it’s gonna be hella good. Whenever you’re ready.”

Whenever she was, I’d carry her over to my cousin’s station, hella in awe over all the advanced equipment she’d procured since the last time I was here!! A wave of relief and awe cascades over me, not just at the tech but really at my cousin being here. The weaver of miracles, white adhesion some kinda nectar from the gods. Way I thought of it, anyway!! “Hey cuz!” A free hand went up to the back of my neck, other ones not daring to let go of my girl. “W-what can I do?”

[attr="class","carvetext"]With nerves of steel as always Megumi had finished sterilizing the area and was now just waiting for the duo to arrive. Soon to be a quartet! She stiffled a yawn as she went into her makeshift kitchen and poured herself some coffee that had been warming for a while, she didn't drink often but when she did caffeine was always something she needed to get through to the next day.

Taking a single sip, she'd hear the rapid knock at the door and would take her time. Whether Chuck and Kazashi knew it being in labor still gave them plenty of time to get things sorted out, and she greeted the two eagerly, "Welcome future parents! You're fine don't worry come on in. Zaza, you want to go into the room on the right? It's nice and clean! Take a seat on the stool in there so I can use the epidural. As for mis primos~" she'd direct him to the kitchen. "Grab yourself some coffee and a snack. I got this! You guys are like the 15th couple I've delivered a baby for and like the third that are having twins~" The best lesson Megumi was taught by her parents was that as a doctor, you need to be calm for your patients, always even family like Chuckie.

Once Kazashi was situated Megumi would go into full-on doctor mode "Okay! Zaza, first you gotta get changed into this gown, then I'm gonna give you the epidural, and you'll get up on the bed and put your feet in the stirrups." the room was very organized compared to her normal lackadaisical method of medical practice and organization. "You ready to be a mom?"
