After discovering that both Kaito and Little Precious were alright, Akira was in a good state. With the help of Dr Jiang, the delivery was successful, but Akira was still too weak after her coma. She fell unconscious and did not wake up until three days later. 

Kaito remained in the hospital room throughout the entire period. He was too afraid of leaving Akira and Little Precious for too long. A deep fear had taken root in his heart concerning losing his family. He did not want to take risks. 

When Akira woke up, she found Kaito leaning beside her with his head on the bed. He was holding her hand lightly, refusing to let go even in his disturbed sleep. 

The moment she moved, he woke up without pause. Akira tried to smile as she looked at the scruff on his face. She rarely saw him in a state less than perfectly kempt. Even when they were casually living in the apartment, he would always be well-groomed. 

Now, he looked like a man marooned on an abandoned island. 

"How are you feeling?" Kaito asked. 

"As if I have walked through the underworld," Akira responded with a weak smile. "What about you?" 

"Fantastic," Kaito said with bright eyes. "I feel like I can run a thousand miles." 

Akira laughed, even though she hardly had enough strength to spare. The sound awoke the little baby sleeping on the side. Immediately, the little girl began crying. The sound was quite loud for a creature that was only three days old. 

At that moment, Akira realised that she had totally forgotten about giving birth. She felt a little awkward, especially when she remembered the earlier dream she had before awakening from her coma. 

It looked like she was the kind of person who would forget her baby. Of course, she would never let anyone know that she had put such an important matter from her mind. She coughed slightly before sitting up on the bed. 

"How is Little Precious doing?" Akira asked like a responsible mother. 

Kaito walked to the crib and picked up the little thing. The baby was healthy and perfect, but Kaito felt like his daughter was too small. When he held her, she seemed to disappear completely. It made him feel a little nervous. 

"She is a champion," Kaito said. "At crying." 

Akira laughed. "She must have inherited someone's cry-baby genes." 

The two people looked at each other meaningfully. None of them felt like they were the ones with the cry-baby genes. Their earliest memories were after they were both away from their parents and living with other people.

They did not have the luxury to cry then, 

Akira snorted after a long staredown. "Give her to me. Let me hold her. Maybe she does not like you." 

Kaito placed Little Precious into Akira's arms with care. She held the little creature for the first time and felt a deep rush of love. She had a baby. She and Kaito had made the cutest and most adorable baby in the world. 

Tears formed in her eyes as she thought about everything both her and Little Precious had gone through to get through this moment. In countless instances, it looked like they would not make it to the finishing line. 

It started with her biological mother trying to send her to a cruel convent and even sell off her baby. With that incident, the family she had thought she found after such a long journey of being alone broke apart. 

And then, she found out that Kaito had gone missing. 

When she started looking for him, things only got worse. Ayumi tried to take her out in the red light district, and the whole saga involving the International Health Alliance, mercenaries and Watch followed. 

The numerous attempts on her life made it almost impossible for her to survive or keep her baby. But she had survived somehow. 

After that, she ended up in Supreme City with Hu Lei and Zhong Feng. While she was safe, she was in constant mental distress, fearing for her life and Kaito's. She had to constantly worry about their future, to the point she could hardly sleep. 

Returning to Mountain Ridge did not make things better. The mercenaries continued pursuing her and trying to end her life, forcing her to be confined instead of enjoying shopping for baby clothes with Kaito.

Finally, when she was prepared to deal with the mercenaries, Watch and the traitors in the Immortal Sword Brigade, Bonnie and Clyde came from nowhere. They threw an unexpected curveball. 

Akira could still remember that moment when she and Bonnie were fighting for the gun. Both of them were at a disadvantage. She had her large belly, but she had also managed to stab Bonnie with the small knife Kaito put in her clothes. 

The short period of struggle had seemed like forever. She had tried to grab the gun when the restaurant was plunged into darkness. However, she could not pry it out of Bonnie's hand. For a woman who had lost a lot of blood, Bonnie was quite strong. 

Akira was not willing to let her have her way, but the gun was pointing towards her chest. Bonnie pulled the trigger without warning during the struggle. Akira only managed to move a little, preventing the bullet from piercing her heart. 

She did not know if she was crazy, but she thought that she saw Bonnie smile after shooting her. 

Moreover, she did not intend to stop at one bullet. She planned to pump Akira with all the bullets before she also died. However, Akira had a burst of strength and turned the gun upwards and forced Bonnie's trigger finger. 

The best she could manage at the time with her remaining strength was turning the muzzle to point at Bonnie's chin. Luckily, she did not miss, and Bonnie fell to the ground. Then, the lights turned back on in the Floating Pavilion. 

When all seemed over, Kaito was pushed out of the window by Clyde. 

The tears in Akira's eyes started trickling out like little rivulets. She felt so much relief at having her small family with her after the terrible things that happened. She could not believe that they had all made it. It was a genuine miracle. 

When Akira started crying, Little Precious cried harder. Akira also cried harder when she heard and looked at the crying baby in her arms.

Kaito was a little exasperated. 

And a small part of him wanted to point out to Akira that she was definitely the one with the cry-baby genes. 

But he was not an idiot. 

He simply gathered his two little cry-babies in his arms and held them to comfort them.
