In late August, a little later than the expected delivery date, Yuna's water broke and she was rushed to the delivery room.
　Yuna's water broke with severe contractions, and she was rushed to the delivery room.

　As it was a holiday, when the Minamikas arrived at the hospital, Yuna was already in the middle of delivery on the delivery table.
　Cowering at the screams of anguish that came from Yuna's mouth, which she had never heard before, Tenri watched her sister and the baby's struggles from close quarters.

　If she could change, she would, but all she can do is hold Yuna's hand and encourage her.

　Meanwhile, Tatsuhito and Kohei are waiting outside, praying in earnest that both mother and child are safe.
　Tatsuto complains to himself that men are useless at times like this, and Watahira tells him that Mayumi once told him that this feeling alone is powerful enough to help him.

　Although not optimistic, Tatsunto's heart is lightened somewhat, and he waits for the moment of the baby's birth to come.　　

　─ ─ Oh my God!　Oh, my God!

I...

　The first birth cry heard from the delivery room.
　A moment later, Tatsujin stood up vigorously and stood in front of the room with his head blank.

　Not long after that, the door was opened and he was met by an obstetrician who came out from inside.

''Um, my wife........the child.......?''
'Your husband!　Yes, both mother and child are safe. We had a healthy baby girl.
I...

　Starting with those words, Tatsujin's tear glands broke down and he burst into tears all at once.
　Tenashi and Mayumi, who came out of the delivery room, were also very emotional, but most of all, Yuna was crying and laughing with happiness while showing her fatigue.

''Tatsuhi, Toh-san.......ehehe, I'm finally a mom.......''
'I'm a dad when I say that, right?　Thank you ... thank you so much Yuna ...
Well, that's a big compliment. It was so hard, but I'm so happy for you, aren't you?


　The couple's heartwarming conversation leaves not only the Nanke family in tears, but also the obstetrician and the midwife in tears.

　In the midst of all this, Amari suddenly asked the couple, in tears, about something.

'Speaking of which, have you decided on a name for your child?
'Oh, yeah, that's important,'
Yuna was supposed to think about it, but are you okay?
'Hmm, heck. Actually, I've already decided from the moment I decided to have the baby.
'Oh, you're so ready! What's your name?
All right, I'll teach you.

　Yuna, who hasn't changed her tune even after becoming a mother, says she will tell me the name of her child after saying it in a way that is not worth it.

　She slowly utters the name while giving a compassionate look to her daughter who has her eyes closed in her arms.

The name of the cat's child is.........







　It's Amana.
Amana...?
''Son. Tenashi's heaven and Yuna's na is 'Tenna'. Isn't it cute!
''It's cute, but why do you take my name instead of Tatsunin-san?''

　Although Amari's happiness outweighed her dismay regarding the use of her name, she felt embarrassed by the quicksilver, so she hid her embarrassment and asked why at the same time.
　In response to that question, Yuna opened her mouth with a big smile on her face.

''──When you got pregnant with Tenna, didn't Tenashi say that she would support you too?　That made me so happy.
Is that why?
'I didn't mean to say that, but if it was Tenashi, I thought you would object to it like your dads did?　But he actually says he's going to support me... and I'm sure he's happy about that!

　Amari was stunned by the reasons her sister had told her.
　Because she was told that her choice at that time was not a mistake.　

''Kyakka!''
'See, Tenna is happy to get her aunt's name too~'
'Keh, it's true that I'm related by blood, but I'm still a teenager!
I don't care, I don't care. If Amanashi had a baby like this, I'd be the same way.

　The conversation between the sisters remains the same even though one of them has become a mother.
　Watahira and the others looked at Tenna's quiet face.

''Tenna, huh.......yes, that's a good name.
''Well as it turns out, if I hadn't admitted it then, I wouldn't have been able to see my grandson's face like this...''
Yes, she's very pretty.

　Without any opposition, the name of Yuna and Tatsunin's child was unanimously decided to be Tenna.
　As if rejoicing at that, Tenna, whose eyelids were closed, seemed to smile.......

　===.

　It had been a month since Tenna was born, but Yuna's first time raising a child had been full of turmoil.
　Anyway, it was because Tenna was crying all day and night.　

　It took me a long time to figure out why she was crying, and I wanted to bite my teeth at my inadequacy because I woke up Tenashi and my parents.
　They say it's a baby's job to cry, but Yuna is inwardly disgusted that she cries too much, no matter what.

　But even so, she still felt so much love for her cute little child, Tenna, who doesn't hurt her eyes, that she records her every move with video recording on her phone.
　She frequently says, 'My daughter is so cute! Amari is disgusted and even annoyed by her sister's fatherly foolishness, saying, "I'm just like my father," but she's just as annoyed.　

　In the midst of all this, Tenashi suggests to Yuna to go out with Tatsunto on her day off from work.
　Since she was also taking care of Tenna when she had free time on her hands, she had unintentionally come with the board as her mother's replacement, so the two readily agreed to the proposal and went out.

''Mmm~........''
"Hmm.

　Tenashi looks at Tenna smilingly as she sits on the bed with a pacifier in her mouth.
　If she was this loving at the time of her niece, what would happen with her own child that might be born one day?
　Maybe it will be as hectic and fun as Yuna's.

　I was vaguely hoping for that.
　As I poked Tenna's cheek while secretly keeping that thought to myself........

''Whew........beeeeeee!
''Oh, I made you cry........''

　I held and soothed Tenna who started crying loudly.
　However, the frequency of crying is high, but it is unusual for Tenna to stop crying immediately, and at this time she did not seem to stop at all.

　You can't hide your doubts as to why, since it was still early in the mealtime and the diapers had just been changed.
　As I was doing so, the landline phone at home started to ring.

'Oh my God!　Mother, please pick up the phone because Tenna is crying and can't keep her hands off the phone.
"Okay, okay.

　Frustrated, she asked Mayumi to help her deal with the situation, and Tenashi continued to soothe Tenna, but she still wouldn't stop crying.
　Just as she began to suspect that she was sick or injured, Mayumi, who was answering the phone, suddenly fell to her knees.

'Mother!　Who was that call from?
"...Amanashi.....
...Mother?

　For some reason, Tenashi felt a tremendous chill in the face of her mother, whose calm atmosphere had vanished and who looked as if she was about to choke now.
　Even when Yuna was pregnant with Tenna, she hadn't been in such a panic, so she felt uneasy about what she had been told on the phone.

　Leaving Tenna, who was still crying, to her mother, she picked up the receiver she had dropped and took over the handling of the call.

''Excuse me, my mother seemed to have made some kind of crude mistake...''　
'Is that your daughter?　No, it's not surprising when you suddenly hear something like that.'
That?　Excuse me, but who the hell are you?

　The caller was a man and his voice sounded extremely heavy.
　It's not that the other side is intimidating, but rather, it seems to be a painful one, as if they are considering us.

　While holding the realization that her heart beats faster from anxiety and confusion, Amanashi asked for the other party's details.
　Then, after an apology was heard, ''Oh I'm sorry''.......









''──I'm a police officer. Please call me from the ID cards of Ms. Minami Yuna and Mr. Minami Tatsuhito, who are the victims of the events that took place just a few minutes ago.
...what?

　It was all too sudden.
　The news was that Yuna and Tatsuhito, who were out, had been hit by an overturned truck after jaywalking, and their deaths had been confirmed.

　She was so shocked that her mind went blank, and the only thing she could hear was Tenna's voice still crying and screaming in her ears.
