Cradling The Little One

As planned, Hisaki and Heisuke headed to Shuuya and Aino's matrimonial home. Shuuya's mother hired two women in their 40s to take care of Aino during her confinement period. They were also there for the newly born child.

But, Shuuya tried to do most of the things that he could. He took up the tasks of bathing his wife and child, including tending to their personal needs. He also changed the diapers himself, refusing any help from the nannies.

The precious child's name was Kiyoko, the same one from Hisaki's previous life. The name meant pure child.

When Hisaki and Heisuke arrived, Aino was with the child in the bedroom. It was eleven in the late morning.

Shuuya was out in the living room with Heisuke while Hisaki went to Aino. She gave gifts to the new mother; a home spa kit for Aino and a few clothes for Kiyoko.

Aino was truly delighted. She didn't expect to receive a gift for herself. Most of the visitors only brought presents to the baby.
