Momi's Touhou Zone

"Ahh I still want to name them what we talked about before, Cordelia as one. W-with your family name, in truth with how poor my memory may be I'm not sure how much meaning mine would carry. But this way, I know they're yours forever, and...you know mine forever and.."

She bumbles a little, there's one name of two offered out, but she wants Alice to have a first say in the other. The one she seems interested in naming Coredelia seems to be the smaller of the two, the smallest with such a strong name.

She sniffles before using what small strength she has to try to wipe her eyes without disturbing her babies.

"Cordelia Margatroid," she repeats again, "and her sister...Lucille. Yes, I think Lucille is a good fit...we can even call her Lucy for short..." Just saying her daughters' names brings more tear to Alice's eyes as she starts to sniffle again. Her daughters are so beautiful, so healthy, so wonderful...She couldn't ask for a greater miracle.

"I left her in the most loving hands, and I'll only be gone a few minutes. Besides, just to motivate you, since you think so low of me!"

She strikes a fighting stance, and with a playful smirk.

"I didn't water the garden the yesterday, I'm holding them hostage for a good battle." A joke, she adores her garden after all.

"A few minutes? How optimistic. I don't think I've ever seen someone wake up and walk home in 'a few minutes' after I knocked them out. It seems all that joy you have has been cooking your brain."

Yuuka's posture doesn't change. The tip of her closed parasol sticks into the ground as both hands rest on the curved handle.

It's finally time, after months of anticipation, a visit to a plucky girl name Chengshu and some planning on at least tackling a natural birth set. It was just waiting for the right moment, the perfect thing about when Chengshu's abode is like Senkai, it really is through the nearest crack and right there when you need it.

The moment Alice is ready, Meiling has her in her arms and they're one second in Alice's room, and the next under the direct care of Chengshu and her suspiciously Seiga-like looking daughters.

Thankfully unlike the wicked hermit, these girls are professional and quick. Everything from hot towels, water and clothes, a gown and a cozy bed. From having Meiling directly help with their guidance, and helping Alice through the hardest parts.

All the way to the first cries of one small baby, then the whines of a second. A bed large enough for both of them to lay on, for Alice to rest her head against Meiling and for the two newborns to lay in their arms.

"Congratulations you two. We'll be cleaning up, take your time. Twins! Cute girls." Chengshu excuses herself, they take supplies away while one of the girls remains in the room to the side.

Just in case the mothers have things they need immediately.

"They're so small and cute Alice.." Meiling cuddles up, both of their girls in their arms. Looking at them compared even to Alice, such small precious life.

The next several hours race by in a blur. They're fortunate to have quick access to Chengshu, who moves with practiced certainty in preparing the couple for delivery. Before she knows it, Alice is timing her breathing with her pushing as she squeezes Meiling's hand for dear life. She feels like she might have popped a blood vessel if she had to push any harder. Shortly after, the first baby is delivered. The second child comes shortly after, thankfully easier than the first.

It takes a moment for Alice to fully regain her awareness of everything. Fortunately, she's holding her two new darlings by now. Just gazing at them and their light tuffs of blonde hair brings tears to her eyes as an overwhelming joy fills her.

"They're perfect, Meiling...Our baby girls...they're perfect...!" She sniffles, unable to hold back her tears. "They're so perfect...I'm so happy, my babies are the most perfect things I've...I've ever seen..."

She holds their swaddled forms tight against her body.
