All of it was so... stunning. Like getting slapped in the forehead unexpectedly. To some, this was probably the worst outcome ever. Jiraiya was a father. He's a parent. Heh, even now it sounds weird. Baby. He has a baby. A daughter. A little baby girl. She's perfect in every way and he never knew he could love something so much. Hayami... that was the winning name so far. It meant rare beauty. What else could fit his beautiful daughter? She's so perfect he can't deal.

She took so long to get here. And now that she was here, he was absolutely stunned. All he wants to do is touch her but he's scared to. Babies are so fragile. She can't even hold her head up! How can he be expected to hold such a little thing? A fierce feeling of protectiveness overtook Jiraiya. Just as a sudden grim thought passed his mind. None shall harm her. Even if she is fragile, she has her father to protect her. No one will dare mess with his kid if they want to live. That goes for you as well. No one will live if they harm his family. He'd go to great lengths to protect them. It's the best thing in his life, he can't and won't lose them. His heart couldn't take it.

Speaking of you, Jiraiya looks over to the other side of the room. You are still asleep. Shifting only slightly in your kingdom of pillows before settling back down. You really are amazing. Squeezing out a kid was hell on the body. You took it like a champ. You endured hours of pain. Hours of clutching onto your husband and begging for it to end. You almost gave up. You clung onto Jiraiya and cried. You only wanted it to end and if he wasn't there you would have been in a much worse place. It was all new and scary. He was the calmness you needed. He told you that it was going to be alright. He told you that over and over. He never wavered. No matter how hard to squeezed his hand or cursed at him. He took it all with a smile, because he knew you didn't mean it. Labor is just one cruel bitch. Such an overwhelming sense of relief washed over you when the cries of a newborn finally filled the room. And the announcement filled you with joy.

"It's a girl!" Jiraiya practically screamed he was so excited. His whole face was lit up with joy. It's an expression you haven't seen on him in years. He held you closely as the baby was handed to you. "Look at her...." He gently felt her cheek. "She's beautiful."

You were a mess. You cried, but couldn't stop smiling. And there was that magical moment where your baby stopped her crying and just stared at you. She has big black eyes. Just like her father. They look so curious. Locked in a staring match with you. You couldn't look away. You felt a kiss pressed to the top of your head. The secure arm of your husband braced under yours and helped you handle the weight of the baby. You held her for what felt like an eternity. You were caught in an endless moment in time. Your newborn on your chest. Your husband holding you tightly. It was the start of your perfect family.

Little coos brought his attention back to his baby. Jiraiya focused back on Hayami. He smiled. He couldn't help but smile whenever he looked at her. He had to put the onesie on her as soon as he could and it was the greatest thing in the world. She was stirring from her rest. Her face twisted in a cringe and she began to cry. Her limbs wiggled about as her cries gained in volume. Oh. Okay! It's okay! Ever so gently, Jiraiya scooped her up. His brows in a tense furrow as he focused. It looked more like he was defusing a bomb than picking up his baby. But he's only ever held a baby like once before. It's harder than it looks! He supported her head with one hand and her back with the other. Baby cries are precious but also the most heartbreaking sounds in the world. The weak 'wahs' she made made his heart hurt. Now he really understands why parents work so hard to comfort their children. He rocked her up and down. It was probably futile, but he tried to hush her with quiet words of comfort.

"Come on, kiddo. You'll wake your mom up." Jiraiya somewhat whined to his baby. You had just fallen asleep.

It seemed to calm her for a moment. She quieted down at the new sound. The sound of her father's voice. It's a little foreign. It's deep and pleasant. It doesn't keep her quiet for long as she began to wail to the best of her ability. It's loud enough to rise you from sleep.
