"Soon we will be welcoming our daughter into the world like her sibling." Aki was also proud like Nick was and the two men could barely contain their excitement. "I can tell it is a girl."

Aki may have been exhausted but he did not let that stop him. The remaining child was restless but the mother knew that was a sign of him or her being healthy. He also had a hunch that the such child whose gender was unknown would probably be an adorable, sassy little girl. He wanted this and other such silent thoughts to be truly true and so much more than that.

He knew that sometimes women who birthed children (no matter how many) had complained. It seemed that each time the child within them was moving but Aki did no such thing. He sighed from time to time, feeling as if he was a star close to exploding into many sparks, extinct from existence like a flame dying out and becoming many embers also fading away.

Life was so much like running an endless race, not knowing exactly when he would finish the race. He was eager to both birth the child and get to hold him or her. He may have been a man but he felt more emotional through the birthing and the many things that led up to the such child birthing like the large waiting of such an intense pregnancy.

He felt as though the hands of time was speeding up a bit more now that his once swollen opening was able to pass along the child. He felt the dreaded ring of fire as the such child slowly slipped down the birth canal and it's head had caused the ring of fire to worsen which caused him to express a wince and vocalize a snake like hiss.
