The Stars Above Us (Shu Sakamaki x OC)

37-Sakura

Hoshi's POV:

-1 month later-

I rubbed my aching back as I sat next to Shu, a cranky look on my face. I woke Shu up at noon so he could make me something but I was feeling extra hangry today. Shu ended up asking Reiji to cook since he didn't really have the skills to and he now spent the time passing to coo at my belly.

"Hurry up," I growled.

"Why must I do everything?" Reiji hissed, setting a plate in front of me.

"Blame your fucking brother for sticking it in."

I scooped some pasta into my mouth, my frown instantly turning into a smile. Our little girl was supposed to pop out anytime now and my cravings have been especially bad this past month. Shu had surprisingly built a crib already and decorated part of his room for the baby. His yellow room now had blue in the corner, along with some toys thanks to my brothers. He also bought some clothes for Sakura, almost as much as our closet combined. He really was excited.

"Shu, next time Hoshi asks for food, you are making it."

"Yeah, yeah," he muttered before rubbing my stomach again.

"Rank ru (Thank you.)" I said with my mouth full.

Reiji's face scrunched up in disgust as he got a clear view of what was in my mouth.

"Please do not talk with your mouth full, Hoshi." he practically begged.

I only grinned, continuing to eat my food. Suddenly, a clear liquid ran down my leg and I looked down at it questioningly.

"What the hell?"

"Did you pee yourself?" Shu asked.

I glared at him, about to retort when I felt a sharp pain come from my stomach. I gasped, tears collecting in the corner of my eyes as I held my tummy.

"Idiot, she didn't pee. Her water broke. She's in labor." Reiji cursed, helping me stand up.

I nearly collapsed as another sharp pain shot through my body, this time making me cry out.

"Take her to the room. I'll grab Subaru and we'll get started."

Shu nodded, carrying me bridal style to the room we had dedicated to delivering my baby. He laid me on the bed before changing me out of my pajamas and into a hospital dress. He helped me put my legs onto the leg rests, holding my hand. A light layer of sweat was covering my forehead as I felt the baby inside of me trying to make its way to the world. Reiji rushed in with a nervous-looking Subaru, who was holding multiple towels.

"Okay, we're ready to start."

He put a finger into my entrance and Shu growled, ready to beat him up but I gave him a look.

"She dilated 10 centimeters. Ok, Hoshi. I'm going to need you to push."

I felt the pain increase as I pushed, squeezing Shu's hand to the point where I heard a few bones crack. He flinched but stroked my hair, saying I was doing great.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, SHU. I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU AFTER I'M DONE WITH THIS." I screamed in pain.

"Do you want a painkiller?" Reiji asked.

"THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF YOU HAD OFFERED THAT THE FIRST TIME."

He sighed, turning to a pale Subaru, who was trying his best not to look at the scene.

"Subaru, I'm going to need you to take over a second."

"HAAH? THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THAT!"

"SUBARU, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE SO I CAN GET THAT STUPID MEDICINE."

The albino flinched, nodding and taking Reiji's place. He looked on the verge of passing out as he watched my private parts. Reiji turned me to the side, inserting a needle through my back.

"It should take about a minute or two before it starts working."

I felt my lower body become numb and I collapsed onto the bed, feeling weak.

"Okay, Hoshi. I need you to give me a few more pushes." Reiji said, taking Subaru's place.

I nodded, pushing as hard as I could before collapsing once more, breathing hard. Shu used a towel to wipe my forehead, encouraging me while I only weakly glared at him.

"One more push, Hoshi. I can see the head."

I took a deep breath, giving my all as I pushed before I heard a cry enter the room. I felt tears fall as Reiji held up a bloody baby, the umbilical cord still attached.

"Shu, do you want to cut it?"

He nodded eagerly, grabbing the scissors and following Reiji's instructions. Reiji handed the bloody baby to Subaru and he got to work, using the towels to clean her off. The cries died down and Subaru handed us our sleeping girl, sobs coming out of my mouth. I held her shakily, causing her green eyes to open as she looked at me. She cooed tiredly.

"Hi there," I whispered, touching her cheek with my thumb.

She grabbed my thumb with her hand, giggling.

"She's a fast grower since she has vampire genes in her. That means she can express herself fairly well. Congratulations." Reiji said, walking out of the room with Subaru.

I could feel the impatience radiating off of Shu and I chuckled, holding her towards him. He carried her gently, happiness shown clearly in his blue eyes.

"Hi, Sakura." he cooed, kissing her forehead.

The baby babbled, grabbing onto Shu's nose. I mentally 'awwed' at the scene, my face softening.

"Let's make another one," Shu said excitedly.

"No. Not for a while." I said firmly.

He pouted and I scooted over in the bed, letting Shu sit next to me. I laid my head on his shoulder, watching Sakura's eyes close once again.

"It seems like she's gonna be a daddy's girl." I hummed.

"Of course she is. I'm going to spoil her."

"Don't you dare. I don't want her to end up like those triplets."

"You can do all the scolding so she'll like me more."

I rolled my eyes, already knowing that that's what's gonna happen. Shu kissed my lips, giving me a soft smile.

"Sleep. You worked hard today, I'll make sure to watch her."

"You better not fall asleep," I warned.

"Don't worry, now that we have Sakura, I know I'll have to stay awake. Well, it's more like I want to stay awake to see her as much as I can."

"What a cute thing to say," I muttered, closing my eyes.

"Thank you, Hoshi," he whispered.

I smiled, falling asleep and dreaming of our future family.
