When everyone heard the doctor words, yuki felt her tears flowing down her cheek.
“ no, no. Linda will be fine. Right shige, right yuya… she is definitely going to be fine. She will never leave me. No.. she will not.” Yuki was hysterical and shige and yuya was trying to calm her down.
“ yuki, she is going to be fine. Hush now, Linda is going to be fine. Believe in her yuki ” shige and yuya tried in vain to assure her but yuki just keep mumbling to herself.
Yuki stared at Yamapi when she heard his comments. Massu grabbed yamapi by the collar and was going to hit him. Ryo and Koyama hold the fuming Massu away. Shige and yuya went to him and tried to reason with him but both were treated in the same cold manner.
At that moment, yuki stood up and slowly walked towards Yamapi. She slapped him real hard in the face. “ What did Linda and the baby do to make you so angry? What right you have to be angry at them? Whats wrong with you?” yuki screamed at his face.
“ answer me yamapi. What did they do? Linda had suffered so much for this baby. Do you care about her feelings if she see you this way! Yamapi answer me!!!!” yuki shouted and repeatedly hit his chest. “ I should have known that akanishi is better off with her than you” yuki lost her balance and fall to the ground clutching her stomach.
“ I hate you. I HATE you.” Yuki yelled at yamapi again as the tears just keep on flowing.
Shige and yuya helped her to the wheel chair. No one utter a word as everyone watched yamapi slowly walked away towards the exit.
All of them followed Linda to her ward. Yuki refused to leave her side no matter how much the others persuade her. Special arrangements were made so that yuki and linda’s wards are closer to each other and the NICU is just opposite their wards.
Shige insisted on taking yuki back to her ward for a rest, ignoring yuki’s pleas to stay with Linda. “Shige please, I want to stay with her, she needs me. Shige… please I beg you. Don’t take me away from her.” yuki was sobbing uncontrollably while gripping shige’s arm.
“ yuki, please don’t do this to me. I know you care about her and want to stay by her side. However, I believe that she do not want you to risk your health over her. Please rest now. You have been waiting there for 5 hours. Please spare a thought for me. You are making mi worried have you ever considered my feelings when I saw you faint in my arms.”
“ Gomen ne…Gomen ne shige… I’m been selfish and did not spare a thought for your feelings. Gomen ….” Shige hugged his sobbing wife in his arms as she cried on his shoulder.
The rest of the news members except for yamapi, yuya and shige had returned home Yamapi who was still in a daze was sitting outside Linda’s ward. He assured everyone that he is going to be alright though they know that he is just trying to put on an brave front. He never did once step inside to see Linda but look at his wife through the glass panel.
Koyama called yamapi’s mother, informing her of the latest development. Though she insisted on coming to the hospital, koyama managed to convince her to stay home to take care of the children.
Yuki did manage to get some rest but keep insisting on checking on Linda. No matter how reluctant shige was, he followed her wishes as he understood the strong bond they shared.
“ yuki please tell me if you feel unwell when you are there. Don’t try to bear the pain. Promise me that and I will bring you to her.” yuki nod her head and give shige a hug for being so understanding. Yuya who was sleeping at the sofa was stirred from his sleep.
“ yuya, I bring your sister to linda’s room. you get some rest alright.” shige pat yuya on the shoulder. Yuki mouthed the word thank you and yuya smiled and went back to sleep.
When they reach the door to linda’s ward, they saw yamapi looking at linda thru the glass panel. Yuki gave him a cold hard stare as they pass him. Yuki was wheeled to the bed and she held linda’s hand.
“ linda, wake up. Everyone is waiting for you. Akira, takizawa and Takahisa is waiting for you to go home so please open your eyes.” Yuki look at linda hoping she will open her eyes to look back. When there were no responses, the tears started flowing again.
Shige wiped the tears on her eyes and stand behind her. At that moment, both of them heard yuya and yamapi arguing outside. Shige went out to stop them.
“ yamapi, stop being in a daze. Your wife is inside, she is waiting for you to tell her that you will wait for her to wake up no matter how long it takes. Damn it.” Yuya punched his face.
Shige stopped yuya and had never seen the latter talk to yamapi in such a manner as yuya respected yamapi. “ yuya, its enough. Stop it.”
Yamapi still did not utter a single word. Shige had enough of it and dragged him to see the baby. Yuya walked behind yamapi just incase the latter tried to escape. As they got nearer to the incubator where the baby is, yamapi tried to run away but was hold back by both shige and yuya.
“ yamapi, this is the baby that your wife tried so hard to give birth too. This is the baby that linda is willing to sacrifice her life for. Look at the baby. Damn it yamapi, look at the baby.” Yamapi look at the baby through the incubator. The baby is awake and was looking at the people around him. He held out his hand to grab yamapi’s hand which was on the cover of the incubator.
Yamapi finally broke down and cried. He put his hand inside the opening of the incubator and touched the baby for the 1st time. The tiny hand gripped yamapi’s thumb tightly and yamapi smiled.
“ Look at him, He is so adorable right.” Yamapi said to shige and yuya.
“baby, forgive papa for the foolishness. I’m sorry.” Yamapi said to the baby then he look at shige and yuya who was trying their best to control the tears that threaten to flow.
Yamapi stayed with the baby for awhile more whereas shige and yuya left to accompany yuki. He came over shortly and held linda’s hand to his face.
“ I’m sorry Linda. Forgive me.” Yamapi uttered. “and yuki, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” Yuki had forgiven him as yamapi was also in a moment of shock to react that way.
[ next day ]
“Yamashita san, your wife’s condition has stabilized. However, I can’t guarantee if she will wake up from the coma. All you can do now is to keep talking to her” the doctor said to yamapi after examining linda.
“ what about the baby? Is he going to be alright?”
“ the baby is going to be fine. He is a strong kid though born prematurely.” Everyone felt relieved upon this good news, Yamapi’s mum who was also present hugged her son tightly at this great news.
Everyone gathered at linda’s room which was filled with flowers and fruit baskets. Everyone was talking among themselves when yuki suddenly asked them to keep quiet.
“ linda, did you remember the 1st concert we had? Our room was also filled with flowers from the fans. Did you remember those times linda?” yuki begin to talk about the old times.
