Hime

“ Sweetheart?” Madara entered the room, concerned. Tobirama didn't have breakfast with Hikaku and the Beta couldn’t get an answer from his mate and was hesitant to enter Madara’s den, especially with a pregnant Tobirama inside, it was a huge taboo to enter one's den when their partner was expecting. But he was still concerned about the omega and without an answer he went to the tower to fetch Madara. “Darling?”

Tobirama was in pain, so much pain that he couldn't answer, only whimpering as another contraction wrecked his body. He started feeling them in the middle of the night, but at that time they were manageable. Curled in the bed, he whined and cried until the covers were lifted. Then he looked up to see his mate, his scent was pleasant to Tobirama’s nose but he couldn't enjoy it for long when another painful contraction wrecked his body. 

Madara paled at the scene. “Your water broke!!!” He realized in horror. Tobirama was in labour, and it seemed he was in a lot of pain, too much pain to use words. “I need to get someone - HIKAKU, IZUNA!”

“Madara-sama?” “Nii-san?”

“ Tobirama’s water broke!” The two men, without a word, sprinted for help, and Madara helped rearrange the pillows in a way that Tobirama was more comfortable, listening and following the sounds his mate made. “ There there, darling, I'm here for you. I know it hurts, I am sorry…” His mate groaned, more tears escaping his eyes.

“Tobi, we're here!” Hashirama cried out, with Mito, Touka and a few Senju healers in tow. Izuna appeared shortly after them. Hashirama

Hikaku brought some water, blankets and towels, and the midwife thanked him before he and the others left the room, which left Tobirama, Madara, Hashirama and the healers with their upcoming task, delivering the pup safely into the world.

“ There there, Sweetheart, will you bring our child into the world today?”

Tobirama nodded. He focused on his breathing as per the midwife's instructions. His thoughts wandered around, thinking about his yet unborn child and what day it was. He heard bells ringing in his brain. Today was Kagami’s birthday, Tobirama remembered, even in the same year. His breath hitched before fear froze him in place, he looked at Madara, the man clutched his hand and then he looked down at the midwife, frozen in fear because he knew that Kagami’s mother died in childbirth, tears started to stream down his face as dread overtook him with realisation, no Uchiha beta women were due this week and a few that were due this month already gave birth…does that mean that...he'll die. He started hyperventing.

“Tobi? Tobi, snap out of it. You have to start pushing!” Hashirama held his brother's back, patting his hair and sweaty nape. And so Tobirama focused on pushing.

After a few hours of hardships and a cry erupted, and there he was, his little Kagami. His hair was fluffy like Tobirama's, just that it was black like Madara’s. Tobirama teared up when he was handed his baby, kissing the tiny forehead. Kagami stopped crying. Everyone else looked relieved, and Tobirama felt exhausted with Kagami lying on his chest, drifting to sleep. He relaxed, content with having his baby. “ Kagami…”

“ Beautiful name, my love!” He felt Madara’s lips on his forehead. “ He has strong lungs, he'll be a strong warrior…” Madara patted Tobirama’s hair as the midwife started the task of cleaning him up.

“ A little prince…” Hashirama wailed. Children of the empress omega were always called princes and princesses and had large chakra reserves and Kagami would be no different if he was anything like Madara. “How are you Tobi?”

“Tired…” He replied as tears streamed down his cheeks, he was scared of what would come next, he wanted to raise Kagami with Madara, he wanted to see Konoha grow and expand. He was so happy how things went this time around. He felt happier, but he felt dread as he felt himself slipping again, it was a similar feeling to the one he felt before waking up in this crazy universe . He could see the sudden change in the midwife's expression. “ I don't want to die…” He whispered before he lost consciousness. 

And he woke up, immediately sitting up, his breathing was erratic. He was all alone in a dark room. Did he die again, is this a new universe, where was he? All his questions died down when a door opened, light hitting his watery eyes head on. It was Madara and he was holding a bundle of blankets. “My hime…” the man's smile warmed Tobirama’s heart, how he loved the man. “You worried us.” He walked closer, giving Tobirama their baby. Kissing the omega's forehead and he lifted him up. Madara rearranged them so they both lay in the bed with Tobirama’s head resting on the big muscular chest of his husband.“Tobirama, please never scare me like this…I don’t know if I could live without your…”

“Madara…” Tobirama hummed, reaching for the man with his free hand to wipe away the tears that ran down the strong cheeks. “It's ok, I'm here…” he said before kissing him on the cheek. “I'm happy, I'm with you.” He snuggled closer to the alpha as Kagami yawned. He was happy, with how things went. He not only had Konoha but also his own family, something he could only dream of in his previous life.
