~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I put the twins down for their nap. They'll probably be out until dinner time due to jet lag. I finished unpacking their things and walked downstairs. I walk into the family dining room. Everyone was sitting there.

"Why does this look like a board meeting?" I joke.

"I want to talk to them." Enji responds.

"Now? You want to do this now? When we just got back?"

"Y/N I'm going to fix everything so yes we have to do this now." I take a seat at the head of the table.

"Before you say anything which will be a bunch of bullshit, I need you to look at this." Natsuo says as he gets up. He slides a book down towards his father.

"What's this?" Enji asks.

"Mom's medical records. Mine and from the senior doctor." Natsu explains. Enji opens the book and reads. He turns the page and gasps.

"Oh my god Y/N...you were so frail." Enji whispers.

"What?" I get up and walk towards the other end of the table. I grab the book and flip through it.

"Natsuo, why do you have this?" I ask, looking at him.

"As she began to show, her body became weaker. She refused to eat until I force fed her. She was hospitalized seven times. Even when I force fed her, there were times her body just couldn't hold it down. I watched in horror as she constantly blamed herself for getting pregnant. For you abandoning us. She gave up a lot. But I knew she still had hope that you would miraculously come home. Each photo represents the date I documented her health. She was severely underweight until her final month of pregnancy.

We all prayed every single night that the three of them will make it. She couldn't sleep and she couldn't move. It was so hard knowing that my first patient was my own mother. I didn't want anyone else to be her doctor. I didn't want anyone else to see her in that state. But I eventually had to get a senior doctor for second opinions and what to do. They signed a non disclosure for sure. I could barely keep mom alive.

I was drowning in so much fear that if they die, it's my fault. That I failed as a doctor to save a life let alone three lives. I refused to cry because I needed to be strong. For everyone. I couldn't let my vulnerability get to me and cloud my mind from what I needed to do as a doctor. Wh-When she gave birth...our world shattered. Mom and the twins were pronounced dead. My only thought was that I failed as a doctor. That I failed to save lives. And I hated myself for it.

I was scared Touya, Shoto and Fuyumi would hate me for letting them die. I couldn't-I couldn't look them in the eye. We begged every doctor and nurse to keep trying to revive them. They were hesitant saying it's impossible. These doctors weren't the ones we were well acquainted with. There was a nasty school bus crash that had multiple injuries and these people were the only ones available. Our hospital team was unaware we were at the hospital.

One of them noticed us and rushed over as a doctor was refusing to keep trying. She demanded they keep trying and to show respect to the Todoroki family. I guess this name comes with a perk and because of that, they kept trying solely because of our last name. I guess they didn't want a bad reputation or fear that you would get that hospital shut down, I don't know. What they didn't know is that you had no clue what was going on.

And by the Grace of God, they pulled through. The first thing our mother said was: 'I'm sorry for not being strong enough.' She had the most weakest voice I heard from her. It gutted me. The next months got worse. When they were finally released from the hospital, they were looking healthy except for mom. After her postpartum hysterectomy, she was on strict bed rest. Time passed so slow. Mom stopped celebrating her birthday.
