What If, Gorou's Edition

Chapter 2: Beginning of busy days

My name is Amamiya Gorou. I'm an ob-gyn from the rural Miyazaki-ken. Long story short, the only idol I ever vowed to love and support came to the hospital I was stationed in, 20 weeks pregnant.

She was a natural born talent, almost as if chosen by Ame-no-Uzume herself. Even when her belly couldn't be hidden anymore, the starlight in her eyes still shone through, burning any admirers that dared to come too close. I was no different.

It was a shock at first for sure, but I would never exchange the days Ai was in my care for anything. That latter half of her pregnancy came by and went like an arrow, and during which, I was able to learn who Hoshino Ai really was behind the limelight.

Maybe it was my obsession with her, but I felt like the admiration I have for the normal life Ai wasn't any less than that I have for the centre girl of B-Komachi on stage.

She was devious, so determined to hide her twins, yet so carefree at the same time. Ai wasn't even fazed at the prospect of having to have a C-section. And so I was moved by how daring, how open-minded and how human she, just like us fans, was. I vowed to safely help deliver her little angels and protect her little family no matter what. Ai was probably going to go back to being an invincible idol just as before, and so shall I return to being an avid fan of hers, but if that's what it would take to safeguard her happiness, I shall see it to the end.

However, things took many turns I did not expect. After that night, I kept having dreams in which I return to that cliff.  I remembered it well. It was a place what few childhood friends I had before they all moved to cities, and I came to hang out after school. It was the place I resorted to for some peace and quiet every time grandfather started about my mother again. It was the place I...

Fell...?

"Aish... Dozed off again...?"

I quietly cursed my damn brain for the myoclonic jerk and sat up straight. My eyelids felt heavy, as if disagreeing with the startle caused by the falling sensation just now. The twins were still sleeping soundly, but I went to check their cribs anyway.

"Good girls..."

That's right. Hoshino Ai's twin daughters were now in my care. It was Saitou Ichigo's - the president of Strawberry Productions - idea. He proposed, now that I barely escaped the stalker that was after Ai and possibly my life, it was in the best interests for us both, for me to lay low. The first step of the plan was to transfer Ai away from the hospital I was working as soon as she and the babies were ready. Luckily, the twins were just as lively as Ai said they would be when she first came here. Perhaps even more so than I thought...?

"Ogyaaaaaa...!!! Ogyaaaaaaaahh!!!!"

Speak of the devil. 

"Yes... yes... Sensei's here." - Ruby's crying seemed to cease almost instantly as I staggered towards her crib and my head was in her sight.

What a magnificent feat of genetics, I thought to myself as I caressed the little blondie's head and rocked her slowly from side to side in my embrace. Both of the twins had shiny golden locks of hair as opposed to the smooth, silky violet their mother sported. The colours of the windows to their souls seemed to have been split from Ai's as well. Her amethyst became Ruby's magenta and Aqua's bright turquoise... Or at least that was what I thought the kids' eye colours were. After all, Ai did name them "Aquamarine" and "Ruby", so it was probably her gradient perceptions being better than mine.
