1 Silence between the snowflakes

"Hmmmm .... * pant * * pant * * pant *"

On a winter night, in a bathroom, two women were seen, the first woman lying on a futon with a slightly pale face and panting breath.

While the second woman was seen wearing a white doctor's clothes complete with a mask covering her mouth, and gloves covering her hands.

The first woman seemed to be in a critical period of birth, she looked difficult while still trying to remove the baby from her womb.

"Come on, Yashuhiro-San, the baby's head is visible, breathe in slowly through the nose, then exhale through the mouth."

The female doctor continued to instruct the patient whom she called Yashuhiro to breathe slowly.

Ms. Yashuhiro began to breathe slowly, according to instructions from the female doctor.

"Come on, I'm sure you can do it Yashuhiro-San, just a little more, just one more push."

Hearing the woman's doctor's words, Mrs. Yashuhiro gripped Futon with all her might, screaming to the end of her lungs.

" Hmmmm.... !!! "

.

.

.

After that, a baby came out completely from the body of Mrs. Yashushiro. The woman doctor readily picked up the baby who was still filled with blood. However, the first cry of a baby who had just seen the outside world did not come.

The atmosphere became silent, no sound was heard at all, not even anyone noticed that someone had been peering through the gap from the door.

There was no sound until Mrs. Yashuhiro, who was breathing heavily, asked in a low voice.

"Nanami-san, what about my son, is he alright? Is my son a boy or a girl?"

Ms. Yashuhiro asked the female doctor who called her Nanami. However, Mrs. Yashuhiro did not get any answer from Nanami, who was seen still holding the Baby in her hand in silence.

Realizing that the answer he had been waiting for from Nanami's mouth did not come, Mrs. Yashuhiro put on a confused face and again called Nanami's name.

"Nanami-san?"

Nanami finally realized after hearing the call from Mrs. Yashuhiro the second time, but her eyes could not be separated from the baby who was currently still in his arms.

"Uh ... Oh ... Ah ... this is a boy ..."

But he seemed to stutter when he tried to answer the question raised by Mrs. Yashuhiro.

His mind kept racing when he held the baby in his hand.

'Cold ... why is this kid's skin is so cold...?, it's as cold as Ice, my hands are even trembling in the cold now '

Nanami thought like that not without reason, but when she held the skin of a baby who had just come to this world, Nanami felt the same cold feeling as when she touched Ice.

It made her hands not go numb when she held the body of the baby, who looked very calm and didn't make a sound.

Whether it was crying or just a little noise, really quiet, Nanami was worried about the beginning, but when she touched the baby's skin, she felt a pulse, which indicates that the baby was still alive.

Without lingering, Nanami immediately opened her mouth and tried to call out her assistant.

"Hizuna, come in."

After that, a young woman entered into the room, the clothes and all equipment were almost the same as those worn by Nanami.

Seeing the baby in Nanami's hand, Hizuna smiled softly from under her mask and said.

"So the baby is already born, huh?"

Hearing Hizuna's words, Nanami only nodded, but her face still looked serious when she opened her mouth again, but in a very slow voice, with the aim that Mrs. Yashuhiro did not hear their chat.

"Take this baby and do your job."

Nanami said while handing the baby in her hand to Hizuna. When Hizuna received the baby from Nanami, she felt the coldness that Nanami felt.

She was immediately shocked and immediately widened her eyes, and accidentally murmured.

"This ..."

However, as someone who was already an expert in her field, Hizuna realized that she could not speak of things that would make Mrs. Yashuhiro worry and shock, so she only asked for an answer from Nanami with a questioning look.

Seeing the view Hizuna directed at her, Nanami only nodded with a resigned face.

Hizuna who saw that without a second thought also nodded and then left the room to check the organ system and cleanse the baby's body.

Because a newborn baby is still dirty from the blood and a layer of fat that sticks all over his body.

After Hizuna left, Nanami immediately took off her gloves and approached Mrs. Yashuhiro who was still trying to get up from her bed.

"How is my baby Nanami-San? Is he alright? Answer me !!!"

Ms. Yashuhiro was worried and panicked because she felt something was wrong when she saw the expressions on Nanami and Hizuna's faces as they held their babies.

Looking at Mrs. Yashuhiro, Nanami put on a sad expression while thinking.

'A mother's instinct for her child is truly amazing, isn't it? '

However, Nanami immediately replaced the sad expression on her face with a big smile as she tried to calm Ms. Yashuhiro.

"Yashuhiro-san, calm down first, right now Hizuna is checking the body condition of the baby and cleansing some of the impurities that are still clinging to his body, so you better sit down first. Your body condition is still very vulnerable due to the Postpartum effect, please sit quietly. "

Nanami tried to calm Mrs. Yashuhiro with as gentle a word as possible, but Ms. Yashuhiro was still stubborn and rebellious.

"No !!! I want to see my son."

When Mrs. Yashuhiro tried to stand up for the umpteenth time, the creaking of the door was heard then the wooden door opened and a little girl about 5 years old entered the room.

"Ka-chan ... Ka-chan"

Noticing the little girl's voice, both Mrs. Yashuhiro and Nanami immediately turned their gazes to the source of the voice.

And there they saw a little girl who called Mrs. Yashuhiro by the call of Mother.

"Shimizu, why are you here, didn't I tell you to sit nicely outside."

Said Mrs. Yashuhiro to the little girl named Shimizu. Hearing the question from her mother, Shimizu who was currently holding a broken doll in her hand said with an innocent face.

"Ehh ... but Kaa-chan looked in pain earlier."

Shimizu said while tugging at his mother's sleeve, Nanami could only silently watch this scene. However, whether due to emotions or what, Ms. Yashuhiro snapped at her child.

" Just Shut Up, Shimizu !!!"

Hearing her mother's shout, Shimizu who was still a child immediately fell silent, Nanami also could not believe that Mrs. Yashuhiro snapped at her child like that, after a few moments of silence, tears began to emerge from Shimizu's teary eyes.

"* Sniff * * Sniff * Uwaaaaaa ..."

Shimizu immediately cried loudly, well she could not be blamed because any child would cry if yelled at like that.

Realizing that she had done something he shouldn't have done, Mrs. Yashuhiro immediately widened her eyes and hugged Shimizu in front of her.

"Sorry ... I'm sorry, My Dear, I didn't mean to yell at you."

Yashuhiro tried to calm down her crying child for her fault, after that, slowly Shimizu began to stop crying.

"* Sniff * Shimizu only worries about mom * Sniff * Shimizu doesn't mean to makes Mom angry * Sniff *"

Shimizu continued to say as she rubbed her nose and eyes. Ms. Yashuhiro felt even more guilty, and she hugged Shimizu tightly.

"No, Shimizu is innocent, Mother was the one who was wrong because angry with Shimizu, so stop crying, okay?"

Hearing his mother's words, Shimizu immediately stopped crying and said while nodding his head.

"Um."

After a while, the door to the room opened, and Hizuna entered while holding a baby.

Seeing that, everyone's attention was drawn towards Hizuna. Yashuhiro immediately opened her mouth when she saw Hizuna enter while carrying her baby.

"My baby ... Is he okay?"

Hearing the question from Mrs. Yashuhiro, Hizuna put on a doubtful look, she then glanced at Nanami, who only returned her glance with a nod.

"Yes ... his Body Condition is Good, but ..."

Hearing doubt from Hizuna's tone of voice, Mrs. Yashuhiro led, as if her emotions had become unstable.

" But what ??? "

After that, without speaking again, Hizuna handed the baby over to Mrs. Yashuhiro. Yashuhiro then immediately took her baby into her arms.

However, when she touched the baby, she felt cold even though it was covered with a thick enough fabric.

There was no crying, the baby was just silent and noiseless. Mrs. Yashuhiro's eyes immediately widened as she held her child.

However, it didn't stop there, after feeling cold, Mrs. Yashuhiro saw a thing that made her heart stop.

She saw the appearance of a creature with a terrible form that was none other than his child, the baby's face turned into a black creature with golden eyes and a tense aura.

Upon seeing this horrible creature, without thinking, Ms. Yashuhiro reflexively removed her grip from the baby in her hands.

* Thump *

The baby quickly fell, fortunately, it fell on the Futon which, although thin, was better than falling on the floor.

Seeing that, Nanami and Hizuna panicked and shouted a little.

"" No!!! ""

Nanami and Hizuna immediately approached and lifted the baby who had just fallen from his mother's arms. Finally, after he fell, the baby looks like he wants to cry, but what comes out of his eyes is not water.

No, it's water, but in an instant moment, the water turns into ice droplets. Nanami who saw that was surprised but he was not as surprised as before, then he looked at Mrs. Yashuhiro who looked scared while sitting leaning against the wall.

"N-no, keep away that monster from me !!!"

Seeing that, whether it's Nanami, Shimizu or Hizuna made a confused expression. Nanami did not understand what caused Ms. Yashuhiro to put on such an expression of fear.

"Monster? What's wrong with you Yashuhiro-San? This is your child, why are you throwing it like this is rubbish?"

Said Nanami with a hint of anger, she could not understand that Mrs. Yashuhiro did such a thing to a newborn baby, moreover the baby was her child.

"My child? How can such a horrible-looking monster become my child, keep him away from me !!!"

Immediately after she said something like that, Mrs. Yashuhiro immediately saw a terrifying scene appear from behind Nanami and Hizuna.

When she saw that, she immediately shouted which surprised Hizuna and Nanami.

"NOOOO, DON'T EAT ME, I"M SORRY !!! KEEP AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Right after shouting while wagging his hand, Mrs. Yashuhiro immediately collapsed on the spot and fell from her waist.

The atmosphere was quiet, Nanami also still could not digest what was happening.

"Monster?"

She then looked back at the cute face of the baby, the cold feeling increasingly made her hands numb, but she still held it.

And gently stroking the baby's cheek.

"What a poor child, even his mother did not want to carry him."

Nanami put on a face of mercy and sadness, the young Shimizu didn't understand what was happening, while Hizuna examined the situation of Mrs. Yashuhiro.

"If your mother doesn't want to give you a name, I'll do it."

Nanami then looked at the winter night sky through the window.

"I'll give you the name Tetsuya, starting today, your name will be Yashuhiro Tetsuya, according to your name, I hope you become an intelligent and wise person."

Nanami then hugged the baby aka Tetsuya like his child.

That night, December 31, at 11:59 PM, New Year's Eve, became the birthday of a child named Tetsuya Yashuhiro.
