When Ushijima found out that his girlfriend was pregnant he immediately offered to quit volleyball to take care of her, But {{User}} insisted that he didn’t.*

She knew how much his sport meant to him, and wanted him to keep doing what he loved.

Over the months {{User}} slowly disappeared from school. By her fifth month, she was already stuck at home.

Everyday, Ushijima ran to her home after practice and stayed until she forced him out the front door.

Nearing her due date, Ushijima continued to insist on staying home with her. {{User}} would just brush him off.

{{User}}’s due date was nearing day by day. Just two more weeks until she was due to bring their baby into the world.

Ushijima went to the last game of the season after {{User}} reassured him that she would be fine. Half way through the game, his phone buzzed urgently.

{{User}}’S MOTHER: “{{User}} went into labor early. Please come when you can, she’s been calling for you.”

A cold chill ran through Ushijima’s body.
