Baby of
Mine
By Angel of the Deceased
Author's Note: I've heard several different versions of Soujiro's childhood; I'm
basing
This story on the one where his mother was a prostitute and his father took him in to
Avoid public
humiliation. Hope u like.

-Baby
of mine, don't you cry
Baby of mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby
of mine-
"Good news, it's a boy." Said the doctor as he walked up toward her head with the
infant, crouching
down and handing him to her.
She reached out and took her baby, holding him close. "Oh, aren't you beautiful?"
The
baby gurgled and stretched. She smiled and caressed his little cheek. "You don't know
How much I wish I could keep
you, my baby."
Again, the little boy squealed and stretched. She sighed.
"Mister Seta has arrived." The doctor
told her.
She nodded. "Could he possibly wait for just a moment?"
The doctor nodded and left the room.
-Little
one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of
mine-
When the door shut, she looked back down at the baby. "I'm sorry, my darling, I'm so sorry.
But they'll
take good care of you, better than I ever could." She stroked his little hand.
"I hope you grow up big and strong.
I hope you will be open minded and independent. I hope
you find the love of your life and have a loving family of your
own someday. I hope the Seta's
treat you right, and love you like you deserve to be loved. Maybe someday they will
tell you
about me. I hope you wont be angry with me, little one. I am doing what I think is best. What
kind
of life would you have, living with a prostitute? At least these folks can afford to keep
you and feed you and take
good care of you." She took a deep breath. "I love you so much.
I wish you knew that."
She wiped a tear from
her eye as the door slid open.
-If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those
same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you-
"Alright, come one, I don't
have all day." Said Mister Seta as he stalked into the room.
His wife, a fat, surly woman, walked forward and stooped
down, tearing the baby from her.
His wife turned and left the room, and Mister Seta began to follow.
"Please...please
wait."
Mister Seta turned around with a sigh. "What, don't tell me you changed your mind?"
She took a deep breath.
"If you would, please...name him Soujiro...after my father."
The only person who ever cared about her.
Mister
Seta snarled and turned back to the door, shutting it firmly behind him.
She turned, looking at the ceiling, trying
to choke back the tears. "Oh, my baby..." She
Whispered. "My little baby...what have I done?"
-From your head
to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine-
~The
End~
