Thump-thump-thump
In that moment, another thumping heartbeat echoed in her ears. Nhira was suddenly thrown to the exact moment she and Itachi first heard Heimich's heartbeat.
Thump-thump-thump
An overwhelming surge of emotion hit her like a lightning strike. The weight of what could have been pressed heavily on her heart, and for a moment, the pain threatened to consume her.
Thump-thump-thump
Granted it was a crummy underground clinic that Kisame somehow found. Messy and filthy but it was better than nowhere.
Nhira struggled to stand, Itachi had to pause and pull her up as they sneaked inside the building. Danzo's pursuit was relentless, it had been months after her escape and she was almost six months along and still, the dogs kept coming.
Itachi thanked Kisame for staying behind and dealing with the hounds that followed them, although it may have been to let off some steam and to practice his rusting skills. Either way, he was helping them even when he didn't have to.
It was a small clinic, the assistant that met them and led them inside had fried-looking hair shining a bright neon pink. The doctor at least seemed sane, although his eyes were red and there was a suspicious scent of smoke and drugs seeping from the walls.
The equipment wasn't the best but it was better than nothing and it was also her first check-up. Her hands felt cold and she was shaking, Nhira looked up at Itachi when she felt him draping his Akatsuki cloak over her.
Despite its appearance, it was soft and carried his warmth. "I'm here."
The doctor didn't even warn her of the coldness of the gel, just splattered it on her womb, huffing as he moved the wand around and grouchily told them to look at the screen.
It was small and the picture grainy but there it was, the tiny, tiny human born from both of them.
How can something so small and fragile be so precious?
Thump-thump-thump
Itachi looked like a completely different person from the hardened man he had become. The low-quality picture that was given to them by the highly illegal clinic was kept previously closed.
It wasn't the first time he'd seen such a picture, he saw his brother's a long time ago when his mother showed him the ultrasound picture of his baby brother and he remembered wondering at the time how something like a split of mud could be so cute.
Still, it was completely different holding and seeing a picture of his own child.
His son.
Nhira struggled to walk up the stairs, holding the bag of prenatal vitamins she had been given. The doctor, despite his gauche and crummy appearance and treatment of them, was kind enough to give her a few boxes worth for free.
