Her body begins to get used to the poison. Ever since she figured out she was pregnant, she paused for a while, and will continue after giving birth

But...

An incident came sooner than expected.

The developing fetus absorbs nutrients from the mother's body, it is the only way for it to sustain itself. The mother needs to keep a healthy diet to ensure a healthy baby.

However. Along with the nutrients it absorbs inside her body, the wisteria poison came along with them.

There is no shortage of poison within her system... she injected so much...

The poison is lethal to demons, and most of the time harmless for humans. But, a developing fetus has no resistance to such high doses of this lethal substance.

Shinobu felt extreme pain in her midriff. She fell to the floor in agony. Calling out for help, Aoi and the triplets came to her aid.

They began to do the best they can to ease her pain, and get the child out. It was an extremely painful procedure that caused Shinobu go scream and whimper.

After an our of unending suffering, the baby came out, but...

Lifeless...

A motionless and quiet newborn. Its veins were purple, because of the wisteria. Shinobu, realizing what happened to her baby begins to sob and blame herself for what happened.

She pleads for her premature child to wake up, just a cry from it will suffice. But, the baby remained silent. Holding her baby in her hand, she puts it on her chest, like most mothers do to a newborn to give it warmth, comfort.

"Please... please..." She sobbed "Don't leave..."

Aoi and the triplets watched with sadness. They wanted to be the best sisters the baby could ever have, but all those plans were shattered. Tears flow down their cheeks.

Giyu arrives in a panic. Seeing his lover holding their lifeless child in her arms broke his spirit. He ran here expecting a happy mother holding a healthy child.

He went towards his family, then embraces them.

Sniffling, he begins to bargain in his mind. Pleading for the one above the heavens to give them a chance to give her a good life, but his pleads fall on deaf ears.

Both of them were supposed to be loving parents. He has no clue why she was taken away so early in her life.

She hasn't even been able to feel their touch.

She hasn't been able to smile.

She hasn't even been able to say her first words....

"I'm so sorry... mama's so sorry...."
