Mrs. Y: Honey, they haven't cleaned it yet... is it a boy or a girl?
Tai: *looks thoughtful* umm...I don't know, be right back *slides back into delivery room and rushes over
to where the nurses had his kid, and was offered to cut the umbilical cord before rushing back to
everyone in the waiting room* I have a daughter!!
Mrs. Y: I'm finally a grandmother!
Ken: How's Yamato-san doing?
Tai: umm not too bad he did quite well.
Dai: So what's it like being a dad Tai?
Tai: so far pretty good. though its only been two minutes.
Mrs. Y: He'll know when he holds the baby... I know from experience
Tai: i haven't done that yet! i gotta go do that. see ya all in a few gotta get back to my family...hee hee i

Yama: *has the baby cradled in his arms, a soft pale pink blanket wrapped around her. One finger
delicately runs down her tiny hand and his eyes are full of love and happiness at the birth of his little girl*
Tai: *sits beside them smiling down with pride and joy for both his koi and the little miracle they made*
she's so beautiful... *kisses Yama deeply then kisses top of her head*
Yama: Ya, she is. *watches as the baby opens her eyes, which are the exact same colour as Yama's*
Tai: *gets all chibi eyed* aww she has your eyes!!
Yama: *nods* Looks like you got your wish
Tai: looks like you got yours too!
Yama: I told you it was going to be a girl
Tai: yes yes you did
Yama: She needs a name still
Tai: *softly tickles baby* yes you do...yes you need a name... coochie coochie coo... *baby smiles and
makes noise* kee...kee!
Yama: Keeki?
Yama: *looks up at Tai* That's a kawaii name
Tai: *looks at Yamato and smiles* it is! I think it suits her quite well!
Yama: Keeki Ishigami it is then.
Tai: My Angels!
Yama: *leans up and kisses Tai's chin*
Tai: *kisses Yama's and Keeki's head* how about a pic?
Yama: Do you even have a camera?
Tai: Yep! *smiles and holds up Kari's camera* Kari let me borrow it before i came back in
Yama: Alright then
Tai: *backs up and focuses the camera* smile!
Yama: *smiles as he tickles the baby under the chin causing her to smile also, her blue eyes open wide*
Tai: *snaps a couple of pictures* Awww you guys look so adorable!
Yama: C'mere and let me see
Tai: ok *hands Yamato digital camera*
Yama: Ugh, my hair looks awful!
Tai: No it doesn't! You look beautiful just like our little one
Yama: She is beautiful... *runs his hand over the baby's small head*
Tai: 8 pounds 3 ounces...all ours for the taking *runs finger over Keeki's hand which she latches onto*
Yama: I'm guessing she likes her daddy.
Yama: Have you told your Okaasan yet?
Tai: I told her she had a granddaughter. And that Kari and TK had a niece. Everyone's ecstatic!
Yama: *grins* That's good. Who's out there?
Tai: Basically the whole gang is out there, plus my mom. I left a message for everyone else
Yama: Why don't you go show them the pictures? I'm sure they'd love to see Keeki.
Tai: Okay, I値l be back in a minute *walks into waiting room* Hey guys!
Mrs. Y: How is everything?
Dai: Do you feel like an Otousan yet?
Tai: Everything is great. *laughs* Yeah I guess I do Daisuke, I guess I do. Here take a look *hands his
Okaasan the camera*
Mrs Y: She looks so precious! *coos over the pictures*
Tai: Yep that's my girl! *grins proudly*
Kari: Here Onii-san *hands Tai a small stuffed white kitty cat* It's for the baby
Ken: Did you and Yamato choose a name yet?
Tai: Aww thanks Kari that's so sweet. Actually she kind of picked it for herself. She is now officially Keeki
Ishigami!
Tk: What do you mean she picked it for herself?
Tai: *shrugs* she sorta made that sound when i tickled her.
Miya: *peers over Mrs. Y's shoulder* Aww! She's so cute!
Dai: Maybe she just wanted some cake
Tai: *ignores Daisuke痴 odd comment* You guys will be able to see her and Yamato soon. The doctor
just wants to make sure everything's okay with them first.
Mrs. Y: Yamato's father called, he said he had to pick something up and then he'd be here
Tai: Did he? Okay. I'm sure Yama will want to see him.
Tk: He sounded really excited, I wonder what he's bringing though.
Tai: I really don't have the slightest clue.
Mrs. Y: Your father called to Taichi, he said it's going to take him awhile because he took the subway to
work this morning, so he'll be here in a bit
Tai: Oh yeah I forgot...*smile fades* do you think he'll like her mom?
Mrs. Y: I'm sure he'll love her when he sees her... just give him some time
Tai: *sighs* I hope so...
Kari: *rubs Tai's back* Don't worry Onii-san. Just think of your new baby, you should be happy
Tai: *half smiles* thanks Kari *smirks* If I can ever tear her away from Yama
Tk: I'm guessing he hasn't let you hold her yet?
Tai: Nope not yet
Tk: Did you even ask?
Tai: Nah...he looked so content holding her I didn't want to ruin the moment
Tk: *nods* Well he'd better let go of her when I get in there. I want to hold my niece for at least a few
seconds
Tai: *chuckles* you'll all get a turn! But I知 first, i am the father after all!!
Tk: Technically you're only one of them
Mr. I: *comes through the doors holding a dozen light pink balloons that say 'It's a Girl!' and a large
stuffed panda bear with a red bow tied around its neck*
Tai: true! *ruffles Tk's hair before noticing Mr Ishida* Hey Mr. Ishida!
Mr. I: *huge grin* Where's my lil granddaughter?
Tai: *grins* Right this way! *leads Mr. I to Yamato's room, and pokes his head in* You've got a visitor
who's very anxious to see our little girl
Yama: *looks up* Who is it?
Tai: *nods to Mr. I to go inside*
Mr. I: *walks into the room and ties the balloon to the end of the bed and places the bear on the floor by
the front of the bed and gives his son a hug before gently touching the baby's head* She's beautiful
Yamato, you and Taichi did a good job. *smiles*
Yama: *smiles up at his Otousan* Thanks Dad.
Mrs. Y: *pokes her head into the room* When's it the rest of our turns?
Tai: Come on in, ain't nobody here but us
Mr. I: *gets his finger latched onto by the little girl* She's got quite a grip
Mrs.Y: *walks into the room and stands on the other side of the bed* She's even better in person, look at
those large blue eyes. Can I hold her?
Yama: Actually, I think Taichi was next in line
Tai: *lifts his head eyes sparkling wildly* Aw c'mere sweety *gently takes Keeki from Yamato's arms*
Dai: Aww! Look at the lil baby... she doesn't look like cake to me.
Miya: *rolls eyes* of course not Daisuke it痴 a baby not food!
Dai: But the the name Keeki means Cake
Tai: That's cuz she's sweet as sugar *cradles Keeki in his arms while she sucks on her fist*
Dai: Now that you've held her... do you feel like a father?
Tk: Why do you keep asking that Dai-kun
Dai: *shrugs* I'm just curious
Tai: As a matter of fact Dai-chan I do feel like one now
Dai: How does it feel?
Tai: Quite interesting...its like I never want to let her go
Tk: But I haven't had my turn yet!
Tai: Sorry TK but my mom was next... *hands Keeki to Mrs. Y*
Mrs. Y: *coos* Aren't you a pretty lil baby... yes you are! yes you are!
Mr Y: *suddenly bursts through the doors of Yamato's room all out of breath*
Mr. I: *pats Mr. Y on the back* Congradulations, your a grandfather!
Mr Y: thanks! *walks over to Mrs. Y and peers down at his granddaughter. Smiling he looks up at Taichi
and Yamato* She's beautiful guys *gently he kisses her forehead*
Yama: Arigatou Mr. Yagami
Tai: Yeah thanks dad
Mr. Y: *gently stroked his granddaughter's head* what's her name?
Mr. I: Keeki
Mr. Y: as in cake? *chuckles* sweet as sugar she is! congratulations guys I知 proud of you! *hugs Taichi
and shakes Yamato's hand*
Yama: *smiles* Thanks
Tai: Thanks dad.
Dai: So Yama where's your mom? shouldn't she be here?
Miya: *elbows Dai in the arm* Shhh!
Yama: *frowns and bites his lip* I don't think she'll be coming
Dai: *rubs arm* why not? you'd think she'd want to see her grandchild
Miya: *clenches teeth* davis I知 warning u!
Yama: You'd think that, but it doesn't make it true Dai-kun
Tai: I'm sure she'll come around sooner or later
Yama: Maybe
Nurse: *walks in with bottle* sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to drop this off. *puts bottle down on table
and leaves*
Yama: I wanna feed her!
Tai: No I do!!
Yama: No, I'm going to
Tai: no i am!
Mrs. Y: *takes bottle and starts feeding Keeki*
Yama: *looks at Mrs.Y* Hey!
Tai: *whines* mooooom!
Mrs. Y: sorry guys but you gotta learn to quit arguing and just do it!
Yama: I can't get up though, how could I get her? *pouts*
Mrs. Y: you could have grabbed the bottle though *holds bottle up so Keeki can have better access to the
milk*
Yama: Aww c'mon, I want a turn Mrs. Yagami. She came out of me.
Mr.Y: don't worry Yamato you'll get her for the next 300 or so feedings. Especially the 3am ones! *smirks*
Yama: But I wanted to be the first to feed her... Tai can do the 3am feedings
Tai: sorry i work then remember?
Yama: Guess that means no sleep for me for quite a while eh?
Mrs. Y: *smiles knowingly* you'll get used to it...then before you know it they sleep right through it
Yama: That's good
Mrs Y: *puts down the bottle as Keeki drains it, than holds her to her shoulder and burps her*
Yama: *watches Mrs. Y, a small smile on his face*
Dai: may I hold her?
Mrs. Y: sure you can Daisuke *hands Keeki to Dai*
Mr. I: Now be careful Daisuke. Don't hurt her
Dai: *holds Keeki under arms* I値l be careful *smiles before Keeki spits up all over his shirt*
EWWWWW *hands baby to Mr. I*
Mr. I: *laughs and holds her closely*
Mrs. Y: here Daisuke *hands him a cloth she held under water*
Dai: Ick!! baby spit! *wipes shirt*
TK: *pokes Dai and laughs* You got spit on!
Dai: Hey it could have been u! *throws cloth at him*
Tk: No, she actually likes me
Mr. I: Well Takeru, do you want to hold her?
Tk: Hai! *takes the small bundle from Mr. I's arms* See Daisuke, she likes me
Dai: *Keeki spittles on TK* suuuuuure she does!
Tk: Ewww! *Keeki starts to cry* Uh oh.
Tai: give her here! *takes Keeki and hands her to Yamato*
Yama: *takes Keeki and starts to rock her gently* Shhh baby. There's no need to cry... Daddy's here
now... shhh... *kisses her forehead* It's ok, it's ok. *Keeki stops crying*
Tai: *smiles down at them beaming with pride!*
Mrs.Y: come on children lets leave them for a bit *ushers them out the door*
Mr. I: Hai, everybody out!
Tai: *sits on edge of bed and wraps arm around Yama and the baby* i can't wait to get her home!
Yama: *smiles up at his koi* Yeah, me too. I hope she likes her room
Tai: *thinks of all the toys, and winnie the pooh stuff* I知 sure she's gonna love it! Hell i love it!
Yama: *nods* How soon do you think we'll be let out?
Tai: probably tomorrow at the latest
Yama: That's good
Yama: *sighs*
Tai: what's up? you tired?
Yama: Well ya... but that's not it
Tai: well what is it? *is concerned*
Yama: How come your Otousan showed up... but my Okaasan didn't? They both felt the same way but it
looks like your father was able to cope with it... and mine still hasn't
Tai: aw koi don't you worry about a thing. I'm sure she's just busy and hasn't gotten my message yet.
She'll love Keeki! *hugs him reassuringly*
Yama: *sighs* If you say so
Tai: Don't worry. She'll come around sooner or later *kisses his forehead*
