Akaashi smiled, moving Emiko's legs. Emiko was gaining a lot of strength now and had managed to get on her elbows while on her stomach a few times. She enjoyed moving around and being taught to move and would always laugh, causing Akaashi to be happy.

A lot.

Bokuto had walked in on Akaashi giggling and laughing with Emiko laying on his chest once. It'd taken five minutes for Akaashi to notice Bokuto watching the both of them.

Yamaguchi had even come over a few times to hold Emiko for a while, feeling better slightly.

Akaashi had been helping him cope, knowing how hard it was for him. He'd been there before. He didn't want Yamaguchi to do the things he'd done after his first time.

"Why does she do that?"

Akaashi looked over. "Do what?"

"She makes bubbles." Yamaguchi mumbled. He wiped Emiko's chin.

"Oh. It's just something babies do." Akaashi got out of his chair and sat next to Yamaguchi. "You're holding her well."

"Thanks." Yamaguchi looked up. "Can I ask a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Should I keep trying? I know it's almost impossible. But I feel like I should… Tsuki wants this really bad and I want it really bad…"

Akaashi took a deep breath. "Yamaguchi… I don't…" He looked Yamaguchi, who seemed to know what he was going to say. "It'll hurt really bad. I don't think so…"

Yamaguchi nodded. He smiled at Emiko. "T-That's okay… I… I um… I-I'll…"

Akaashi took Emiko and put her on a blanket. He held Yamaguchi as he cried. "It'll be okay though… there are options. Don't do this for just Tsukishima though, okay?"

"M-mhmm."

"Good, good." Akaashi patted his back. "What are you going to do?"

"I just… I'll figure out something." He coughed.

"How about adoption? We considered adopting before we had Emiko."

"Mm." Yamaguchi pulled out his phone. "I-I'll be… be back." He walked into the hall.

Akaashi sighed. He rubbed his eyes and picked Emiko back up. "Hey there princess… you okay?" He touched her hair, smiling. "You've been so calm today."

Emiko huffed. She kicked a few times, wanting to find reason for sound.

Akaashi put her on his chest. "Better? That way you can feel when I talk."

Emiko whined, grabbing his shirt and kicking lightly. "Gah…"

Akaashi chuckled. "You're just like Koutarou."

Emiko kicked a few times and whined.

"Ah, ah calm down. It's just me."

Emiko screamed for a moment before giggling.

"Oh my God… quit that." Akaashi tilted her back. He made something similar towards a growl towards her and she yelped before continuing to giggle. "What's so funny…"

Emiko kicked lightly a few times.

Akaashi kissed her head. "I love you~"

"Bah!"

He clicked his tongue again a few times, laughing as she did. "You're such a silly girl…"

Yamaguchi came back in and sat down. "Hey."
