Chapter 9

Akashi' POV

As soon as Ryota stopped the car in front of the hospital, I immediately went out of the police mobile and carried Tetsuya inside the hospital.

"Help! Help us!" The nurses hurriedly moved towards us. They helped me place Tetsuya on a stretcher and rushed him towards the emergency room. There I saw Shintaro waiting.

"Shintaro! Save Tetsuya. Do everything to save them both."

Shintaro nodded at me and went after Tetsuya at the emergency room.

"Akashicchi, do you want to eat something? I'll go get it for you. You've been waiting here for an hour and a half."

"I'm not hungry Ryota." I glanced at the door of the emergency room. "I just want to see Tetsuya and our child safe and alive." Ryota approached me and tapped my shoulder. "Kurokocchi is a fighter. They will be safe, Akashicchi."

As we settled down on the chair in front of the emergency room, my phone suddenly rang. I took a glance to see who was calling. It was Daiki. "I'll be right back, Ryota. Call me if anything happens."

"All right, Akashicchi."

I walked away from the emergency room and looked for a place that has lesser people passing by. "Where are they, Daiki?"

"We're still here in the warehouse but we already captured the morons. What do you want to do with them, Akashi?"

I gritted my teeth in anger as I remember what they did to Tetsuya earlier. "Give them the taste of their own medicine. I want them to experience what they did to Tetsuya a while ago. I want every bit of their stupid body to remember the pain they've inflicted to Tetsuya."

"Request granted, Akashi. Leave them to us. We'll make sure they'll remember every single torment they'll experience."

I ended the call and headed back to where Ryota was. The moment I arrived in front of the emergency room, I saw Shintaro talking to Ryota. I hurriedly approached the two of them. My heart beating in an abrupt manner on as to what might Shintaro say to me.

"How are they, Shintaro?" I exhaustingly asked.

"Kuroko lost a lot of blood, good thing we still have some blood bags which matched his blood type. He's now out of danger and his condition is already stable. He will be transferred in his room soon."

"How about our child? What happened to our child?"

"Kuroko's body suffered a lot. But call it a miracle Akashi, your baby survived despite the damages Kuroko obtained. It's just that, I will have to advice Kuroko to stay here and be bed-ridden most of the time until he is to deliver your child for his chances on having a miscarriage grew higher. However, as long as he will not do anything that requires a lot of strength and stress as well, everything will be fine." Shintaro smiled a little. "You know what? Your very lucky, Akashi. You got yourself two fighters." Hearing those words, my chest felt light and my breathing slowly went back to normal. I smiled on what Shintaro muttered. "I really do am lucky to have Tetsuya in my life." Now, a new blessing is in its ways soon.

I was holding Tetsuya's hand when I felt him move. "Hmm. . ." I caressed his hair. "How are you feeling Tetsuya?"

"Sore but I'm fine. What happened to our baby Sei-kun?"

"Our little miracle is a fighter just like you." I saw Tetsuya smile a little as he gently caressed his stomach. "Thank you for holding on, little miracle."
