"Satoru, can we talk?" Shoko exits the bathroom, and she luckily bumps into Satoru. Satoru shakes his head, his eyes falling on you as you run out of the place. He's about to run after you, but Shoko stops him. Her hand goes to his forearm.
"What the fuck are you doing? Why the hell is she running off?" Satoru sounds irritated, and Shoko knows that if she lets go, he'll stop you. He's about to push her away, and she knows that he's much stronger.
"Let her go. It's an emergency." She says, and he furrows his brows. An emergency? Like what?
"Someone better be in the hospital." Satoru responds, and this wave of guilt hits Shoko. For too many of her actions, the biggest of all is her hiding his son from him. She shouldn't care, it's none of her business.
"Satoru..." Her heartbeat races, and she's about to stop herself from talking. She shouldn't, it's not her place. But you're not speaking up ever, and Satoru deserves to know about the existence of his son. "She's going to see Ren at the hospital."
"The cat? Why the fuck–" Satoru begins but he's cut off. The next words that leave her mouth, leave him dumbfounded.
"Ren isn't a cat. Ren is her son." Shoko blurts out. Satoru feels his blood boil at the mere thought of you being with someone else. He's confused though, why would you hide the fact that you have a kid? Shoko tries to read his emotions, but she can't. It's hard.
"Who's the father?" Satoru asks, wondering if it's someone he knows. It doesn't click in his head quite that second. Shoko gives him a moment to think about it, but it doesn't occur in his head. Shoko has to tell him,
"I don't think you get it... Why would she not tell you that she has a son?" Shoko feels like she's dumbing it down. Satoru isn't an idiot, but a million thoughts run through his head. He shrugs. "Ren is her son. Your son. She's leaving because you have a son together, and he's in the hospital."
"You're lying. She would tell me. She wouldn't keep that from me." Satoru answers, and Shoko lets go of him. He goes chasing after you, but you're gone. He'll just stop by every hospital nearby, until he finds you. He'll remember the name– Either Ren has your last name, or his. He'll ask about either name.

"Satoru..." You stand up from your chair, and you watch as tears well up in his eyes as he takes in the scene. Shoko wasn't lying– Ren doesn't have his last name, but one swift look at the kid and he realizes that is his son. That's his spitting image.
You stare at each other, frozen in time. Your heart feels as if it's in your throat, and your mind chases a thousand miles per hour as you think of what you'll say next. What can you say? You weren't exactly preparing yourself for this moment, you thought this would never happen. How fucking stupid.
While Satoru feels betrayed. Utterly hurt. He's always thought the best of you; you were damn near the perfect woman. Yet you've betrayed him in the worst possible way. You hid his own flesh and blood from him... For what?
But Satoru isn't going to argue, not when a little boy that he just met is in pain, and the kid is calling him daddy. Satoru rushes to Ren's side, pressing a kiss on his forehead. Satoru isn't quite sure what to say, what do you say to your son? A kid that's probably almost five, a kid you just met?
"He has appendicitis, he has surgery in the morning." You inform him. Should you tell him to go back to his event? And deprive Satoru and Ren from this sweet moment? You have no option but to sit back down and watch the scene unfold.
"I'll be by your side, buddy. Everything's gonna be okay." Satoru's finger pushes Ren's hair out of his face. Satoru takes in the little details of his son's face. Ren has your nose, but apart from that, he looks just like Satoru. Tears stream down Satoru's face, and his voice breaks, in disbelief that this is happening, "I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier, Ren. Your daddy is here now."
