Kiyoomi and I both sat by Ayaka. I was holding her and feeding her formula with a bottle. Kiyoomi played with her tiny feet, which had little duck socks on them.
He looked back when the doorbell ring, standing up to answer it.
"Perfect timing she's actually awake." I commented, continuing to feed her. As much as I wanted to sprint over to the door and hug 'Samu and Ma, I had a baby to feed. Plus I'll never get over the feeling of holding her.
Kiyoomi was yanked into a hug from Ma, holding him tightly. She dropped a large bag in the process, that by the looks of it had clothes for the baby. He tensed for a second before slowly hugging back. I noticed him smiling. He shook hands with 'Samu, since 'Samu was little more aware of his phobia.
'Samu trotted over to me, so quiet and yet so fast. He stared at Ayaka in shock, immediately crying with pursed lips. Ma came and stepped beside him, covering her mouth and also starting to cry.
"She's so tiny." 'Samu cried.
Ayaka stopped feeding, attempting to turn her head to look at the two. She still of course had little to no movement in her head.
"She's so precious.." Ma said. "Can I hold her?"
I glanced over at 'Samu, I wanted him to be the first to hold my child.
"Yeah, ya both can." I said, walking over to 'Samu. I gave her a second to digest before moving her around. "Make sure to hold her head up.
I slowly passed the baby over to 'Samu, who was crying even more. He was super careful with her, as much as I was. He smiled, rubbing his thumb over her shirt. It was a yellow shirt with a duck face on it, and matched her socks.
"She's so little." 'Samu repeated, watching her adjust his eyes to him. He tickled her stomach, making her squirm a little. Ma watched Ayaka eagerly, so 'Samu gently passed her over.
Ma was crying as much as 'Samu, running a knuckle over her soft cheek.
"She's such a beautiful baby." Ma commented, and she really was.
"I can't believe ya have a child.." 'Samu cried.
"Me neither." I commented, leaning against Kiyoomi. "She's pretty cute huh?"
Kiyoomi hummed in agreement, and I could feel the vibration coming from his chest.
"She's adorable." Ma said, rocking her slightly. She started to fuss after a second so I took her back. I passed her over to Kiyoomi so I could hug the both of them.
"Thanks f'r comin' guys, I missed ya."
"I would've come the second she was born if I could." 'Samu commented, and Ma nodded dutifully.
