Eh?!
Is it true?
It's a problem for me if you say, "Is it true?"
Isn't it so?
I see.
Ah.
I have been feeling queasy.
Yeah, that's right.
Are you okay?
Ah, uh, yes.
Whaa, what'll I do...
When...
When will it be born?
Well, "when"...
I wouldn't know that much yet!
I see. That's true, isn't it?
Ah, I have to tell Kazu-san!
Hang on there, hang on! Calm down!
Ah... yes.
Listening?
This is a very important thing for the Maruyama family.
Ah... yes.
Because it is, as soon as we know for sure, then we'll report it.
That's true.
I see...
Ah, that's right.
We'll have the midwife Saki-san examine you today.
It's Sunday, but I'll ask her and get you examined. Okay!
We'll tell them about it afterwards. Right?
Not until we're certain!
Understand? You understand, right?
Yes.
Are you okay, Yoko?
Hey!
You really didn't know?
No.
Hey, Yoko!
What was it, Yoko-chan?
You've been smiling, smiling, smiling since earlier. Right?
No, no, no.
Hey you, has something good happened?
No, no, no, it's nothing.
Say, say, say, say, Onee-chan.
Enough with that talk.
- Well, but... - But that's enough talk.
Still, there's something... Ah!
Eh, eh?!
Could it be!
Eh? Is a child to be born?
Eh?!
Have... have I said something I shouldn't have?
You said it.
Then... is it true?
Yes!
Really?
You've done it, Yoko!
Thank you very much!
I see!
Ah, um but, didn't I just tell you to say, "it's not so"? Right?
What's that?
Ah. I'm sorry.
Ah, never mind. Right!
I'll just trust my senses.
Congratulations!
This is great, isn't it?
Thank you very much!
Well then, I'm off first.
Thank you.
"I had said that, but I had become a little worried."
This is where I gave birth to Kazunari.
Ehh...
Is that right?
Yeah.
Here, huh...
Yeah.

This Saki-san, she's a little scary, but she's a good midwife.
Yes.
Yoko!
Ala!
"Sakurai Saki" Toku-chan, is it you?
Are you giving birth again?
What are you saying, Saki-san.
It's not me. My daughter-in-law.
Kazunari's wife.
Ah.
I'm Yoko. Please take care of me.
I see, I see.
Come in.
You go in and I'll be waiting.
Go on!
Ah, they've come back.
Welcome home.
Ah... I'm home.
How'd it go?
Thank you.
I'm happy.
I'm so happy!
Yes!
Kazunari. Yoko.
Yes?
You should go report this to those in Azumino.
That's true.
Be sure to report it to your mother.
I will.
Thank you very much.
Yo! What's up? You're all lined up.
Eh?
What is it?
Something strange about me? Something to do with me? Eh?
Um... Congratulations.
Ah, thank you very much.
Oi, oi, oi. For what?
Did something good happen?
- Ah, what'll we do! - Tell me!
I don't want to tell you!
I'm back!
Ah! Oh! What's up, you two?
Hey!
Hello. Sorry for our sudden appearance.
Ah... We have something important to tell you.
Huh? Something important to tell us?
What is it?
Ah, I'm sorry.
First off, I have to tell Mom and Haru-niisan.
Ah...
Mom.
Mom...
What's wrong, Toku-chan?
Shouldn't you be celebrating today?
Yeah.
That girl...
...she had this very lonely expression at the maternity hospital and she was trembling.
She was just like some small child.
Eh?
I was thinking how...
...hat child lost her mother at 10...
...and with just men around...
...she was the only woman that whole time.
She didn't have...
...a mother around to discuss what it is to be a girl...
...and tell her all the many things she was thinking.
So then...
...that girl had to go through it all by herself...
I think she had to overcome all that alone...
That was very brave...
...very brave of her.
"Ah, Yoko. What's up? You seem down."
"Eh? No, it's nothing like that."
- "Really?" - "Yes."
"Mom..."
"What should I do?"
"Mom..."
For those times that child had gone through before...
...I'd have wanted to grasp her in my arms...
...and told her, "It's okay."
Her mother must regret that, too.
So for that...
I'll use my strength to make up for her mother's part...
I'll definitely make sure...
I feel I should make sure she delivers safely.
Definitely!
It'll be okay, Toku-chan.
You can do it. Right!
Thank you.
