That brings tears to my eyes! Please, write more Shiznat. I'm in love with the gentle loving Natsuki's become. please make a warm Shiznat family scene perhaps? *puppy dog eyed*

Exquisite!

Aww... The story's gentle but somewhat sad mood caught me. u_u

H-hey! How did t-they make the baby, by the way? .

A good read, it is.

*lets out a long low breath* Wow...utterly speechless here. So powerful. Almost too powerful, but so damn well-written. You amaze

OK, i am a little surprise by the question 'whats her name?'. Seriously, i thought Shizuru was referring to someone else Natsuki is dating! :P But i am a little confused as to why Shizuru is going home to 'get her things'. Is she moving away from Natsuki and the baby?

omg! you really surprised me with that! i never expected the child! i thought what shizuru was asking was natsuki's new girlfriends name! gosh! i love this and the fact that both might get back together-yay1 they had a child! i totally love these lines, truly!-Under the faint light, Shizuru studied the baby's long lashes fluttering lightly. The brief moment their gazes met, she only then realized how terribly shaken she was to stand here, holding the life they created—to be here to fulfill the promise she once gave Natsuki."She's got your eyes…
At Natsuki's whisper, Shizuru looked up. "What's her name…?
Natsuki looked saddened as she said, "I'm still waiting for you to name her.
Shizuru tried to still her body as tears eventually found their way out. It frightened her that Natsuki still saw beauty in all her flaws when she had failed to believe in herself. She was more than overwhelmed by the gentleness in Natsuki's eyes, the forgiveness she didn't deserve. She found no word of apology or assurance worthy enough to erase all the things they both went through.

Just a little higher, Shizuru raised the small form to receive the soft sunlight. And she made a silent vow to herself. She'd make their every winter full of sunlight.*sighs* very beautiful although unexpected...love their child..if you won't mind, what will shizuru name her/him?-heart warming story, two thumbs up!

Sweet, looking back on older stories and I found another one of your good ones. I like how you seem to portray the couple more realistically rather than having them be lovey dovey even though I do like that a lot too.

amazing as always.

Damn it, it was brilliant.

I hate it when authors toy with my emotions, but love the way they do it.

Great work!

So, just a question, what had happened between Shizuru and Natsuki to go so far apart? I mean I get it that they couldn't bridge a gap between them, but I'm a little confused about responsibility and truth...x.x

XD-

Heartbreakingly happy; absolutely beautiful. My heart truly ached when I read the end of it. 'I'm still waiting for you to name her.' Loved that so much.

I can't believe how I could have missed this story. Another beautiful written piece of!

Let me guess, the child will be named Akiko.
I hope you update "Nostalgia" soon.

so... they got back together in the end, right?

AH so touching!

I've always enjoyed your writing. Good job.

I'm still...terribly confused ._.

Nonetheless, it was heart-wrenching. (i suppose the blankie was for the kid? xD)
