Challenge 5: Labor

[summerbutterfly]

My first drabble, and apparently I had the same sort of interpretation of "labor." Hope that's okay.

Challenge: Labor

Gojyo’s face was paler than Hakkai had ever seen it.  Which would have made Hakkai laugh if he hadn't been so focused on the tiny bundle in his hands.

“It’s a girl.”  He smiled up at Yaone.  “A healthy baby girl.”

Yaone’s lower lip quivered.  She held out her arms and Hakkai handed her the newborn, getting a little teary himself when Jien knelt down beside her to stroke his daughter’s cheek.

Hakkai went to Gojyo’s side.

“That’s a baby,” Gojyo whispered.

"Yes," Hakkai said.

"My niece."

"Yes." 

Gojyo tucked a strand of hair behind his ear. "You're gonna help me spoil her, right? And teach her all the stuff that uncles teach?"

"Absolutely," Hakkai promised, and Gojyo smiled.

Thank you! I ♥ the idea of Uncle Gojyo.

I'm smiling, too. That's a lovely and touching drabble, and Gojyo will be a fine uncle.

I love "You're gonna help me spoil her, right? And teach her all the stuff that uncles teach?"

The Uncle Gojyo idea was kind of kick-started by a piece of fanart in another fandom, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.

He's going to spoil that kid so much XD.

Lovely and sweet; Gojyo is very vulnerable here, inviting Hakkai to stay with him. And a congrats to the couple, heh, :D

I love to explore Gojyo's squishy side now and then. I'm glad you liked it :).
