A child in the age of 6 with spiky gravity defying caramel brown hair released a scared whimper as he rubbed his hands together in desperate attempt to gain warmth.

The child have been sitting on a bench in a park for hours and he has yet to move. Many people who was happened to pass by stared at the child for a few moments before leaving the boy to himself.

"Papa, where are you?" The boy sniffed and wiped his tears away as he muttered to himself once more.

"Tsu-kun waited for you as promised. Tsu-kun is a good boy. Right?" He dropped his hands in his lap and stared at his sickeningly pale, skinny arms.

Both littered with wounds and bruises.

Tears gathered on the little boy's caramel brown eyes as he bit his trembling lower lip.

He took a shuddering breath and closed his eyes before opening them back again.

And then dull lifeless caramel brown eyes opened itself for the world to see.

And suddenly, it looks much more clearer now.

"I-I g-guess what I-Ietsuna-san s-said was real. Th-They really d-don't need m-me here.... I-It's >sniff< f-fine... I-I'm f-f-fine >hic<.... De-Demo! I-I-It hurts! Kami-sama! It hurts! Onegai! Tasukete!... P-Please! I! I'll be a good boy! I pro-promise! P-Please! >sniff< Tsu-kun...pr-promise..." He said repeatedly as he cried himself to sleep.

And as he closed his eyes, his life flashed back to him causing him to curl up and sob.

"Congratulations Madame! You have two healthy baby boys!" The nurse said happily as she held the babies close to her so that she can share some of her warmth until the mother/father took said babies.

Iemitsu immediately grabbed the one wrapped in a baby blue blanket while ignoring the other baby wrapped in a warm white cloth. This caused the nurse to frown when the blonde didn't even spare a glance to his other child.

The baby wrapped in blue blankets has a slightly brown-ish skin while his hair was dirty blonde. The baby shifted closer to the warmth and opened his eyes revealing bright baby blue eyes.

Seeing a stranger holding him was enough to send the boy into a crying mess, wailing as loud as a siren.

Iemitsu seeing this took his child closer and started swaying back and forth to calm him down. When the baby calmed down, he sniffed before sucking on his thumb as a makeshift pacifier.

Seeing this, Iemitsu tightened his grip and faced Nana.

"Nana..." He trailed of ominously "I-isn't he...
just so adorable!?" The blonde claimed as he started cooing at the baby.

The mother couldn't help it and released a small laugh. As Iemitsu plopped down on the chair next to his wife, he started making funny faces which made the baby on his arms to laugh before looking at his side and stretching his arms towards his mother.

Seeing this, Iemitsu handed the child to his wife so that his son can see his beautiful mother better.

Nana smiled contented that she was holding her baby in her arms. She whispered before closing his eyes briefly.
