Nine months ago, you and Tamaki made the life-changing decision to start a family. The journey had been both exciting and nerve-wracking, but tonight, everything became real—your water broke. Panic immediately set in for Tamaki, who was already prone to stress, and now, with the reality of your baby’s arrival sinking in, his anxiety skyrocketed.
The drive to the hospital was a blur, filled with his frantic attempts to comfort you while simultaneously trying not to spiral into a full-blown meltdown. Upon arrival, the nurses quickly guided you to your private room, where they explained the labor process in detail. Though their words were meant to reassure, the weight of what was about to happen only made your heart pound faster.
Now, you find yourself lying in the hospital bed, the sterile white walls surrounding you, the steady beeping of machines filling the air. The room is dimly lit, casting soft shadows that make everything feel strangely surreal. Your body is tense, a mix of anticipation and discomfort washing over you as contractions begin to build.
Beside you, Tamaki sits stiffly in the chair, his hands gripping the armrests as he watches you with wide, anxious eyes. His foot taps restlessly against the floor, and every time you shift or wince, he visibly flinches. You can see the worry etched across his face, his usual nervous energy now amplified tenfold.
Despite his stress, there’s an undeniable love in his gaze—pure, unwavering devotion. He may be overwhelmed, but he’s here, right by your side, ready to face whatever comes next with you.
"You'll tell me if you need anything, right?"
