[ Sumina may not have Six Eyes, but she doesn't need vision better than what she already has to see so very plainly how joy and affection engulfs Satoru so fully, how full his heart must feel, after everything the two of them have endured to arrive to this point. From falling in love with one another slowly and then all at once, to not knowing if they would have a future together, to chasing and holding fast to it against all reason and fate, across worlds, to bind themselves together with their most sacred vows, and now to this... She knows how it must feel like his heart is fit to burst, because she feels it, too.
With her free hand, she frames the side of his face. ]
Come here...
[ She would sit up and lean over herself if not for how tired she still feels, so instead she is urging him to move so that she can kiss at the beads of tears at the corners of his brilliant blue eyes. ]
If we're any good at this, then they'll have both of our best qualities. I... I already can't wait to meet them, aha...
[ Oh, now she feels her own throat growing tighter, her eyes blurring with her own joyful tears.
This, among countless others, is yet one more moment with him that she never, ever wants to forget. A moment that someday, she'll tell their child about, too. To remind them of how much their mother and father have loved them from the very moment they came to know of their presence... She'll tell them everything, from how she'd foolishly let herself work even while feeling unwell, how papa had to rush back home with Tai-chan, how he shocked her with the revelation himself the second she'd woken up, how he then wept so joyfully on her stomach... all of it. ]
Satoru... We're having a baby. [ It bears repeating. ] Our baby...
[ They're having a baby. Hearing it from Sumina's lips, even when it was he who delivered the news to her himself, is another thing entirely, and as he slips up onto the bed next to her so he can gather her up in his arms, it's those words, spoken in her own voice swelling with warmth and emotion, that does him in.
It isn't often that Satoru has occasion to cry, and even less often that he cry tears of joy. It's still an unfamiliar concept in many ways, a shock to his system that he can cry because he's happy, but with how full and overflowing his very soul feels, there is nowhere else for his emotions to go, than to be shed as tears. Dragging in a shuddering breath, he cradles Sumina close, so very close, his entire body curling around her as he holds not only the most precious person in his life, but the two most precious people in his life, now. ]
We are. [ It bears repeating, again and again. He chuckles, before it dissolves into a sob. ] Damn right we are!
[ He's...waited his whole life for this. For love, for family, for a life that was never meant to be his — and yet despite everything, it is. Made from their hands, from their love, and it is...infinite. ]
I love you. [ He murmurs after a moment, fingers carding through her hair, as he kisses her brow, her temple, her brows and eyelids. ] I love you so much...
[ Though in many ways, Satoru has always been considerably more expressive than Sumina is, it's rare that his emotions burst forth like this, like a dam collapsing against all that he has held within his heart, flooding his eyes with tears and choking his words with sobs. She has no choice but to be swept by the torrent, too, as she presses her face into his collar when he draws her near, heedless of how messy she might make his clothes with her crying.
Within her womb is the very fruit of their love, the unmistakable proof that their bond can overcome barriers that most mortals wouldn't even think of, their baby - whom she will proudly bear and birth and raise to be the very best of them both. Who, like Satoru, she already loves so very fiercely. Within her womb is the very beginnings, twinkling of a bright, shining star, their little star.
Her fingers curl tightly into the fabric of his shirt as she tips her head up for each and every one of his sweet, wonderful kisses, and though she weeps with him, the warmth and affection on her features are unmistakable, unshakeable. ]
I love you, too. So very much...
[ She seals her words with a kiss to his lips. ]
You're going to be— [ her words are stifled by another sob, ] Just wonderful. I know it. I'll... make sure that they love their papa as much as mama does... Ahaha, and as much as Taichi, too.
[ He is their eldest, after all, and a fey hound who is very in tune to emotions around him besides. Needless to say, they'll soon be joined by the blink dog himself, who draws up to the side of the bed with his front paws on top of it, his tail wagging furiously while he yips as if to remind them that he's here, too, and he hates to be left out! ]
