“Tomoya: Nagisa! (gasps)
Nagisa!
Nagisa: (weakly) Tomoya…
Tomoya: She’s here, Nagisa. She’s-she's right here! You can hear her, right?
That’s our baby, that’s our baby crying.
Nagisa: (weakly) Y-yeah…
Tomoya: Here, look! I got to hold her before anyone else, see?
Nagisa: Oh…she turned out so cute…
Tomoya: This is our little baby, Nagisa. It’s our little Ushio.
Nagisa: Hey there, Shio…
Tomoya: It’s a girl, she’s as healthy as can be!
Nagisa: Yeah… I’m so glad I could have her here with you, Tomoya… I’m sorry I had to make Shio work so hard for it, but at least we were all together…
Tomoya: You did a great job. I mean it.
Nagisa: (Sighs) Hey…I’m sorry, but I’m starting to feel a little tired. Could you let me rest? Just for a second…?
Tomoya: Come on, let’s talk just-just a little longer, okay? You don’t have to say anything, just listen. Come on, you have to look at our baby. She kinda looks like a cute
little monkey, doesn’t she? See? She’s so tiny. Here, I’m going to call her name, okay? Ushio. Hey, it’s daddy, Ushio. And this is mommy, see?
Look at her, see?
(Sniffles and laughs softly)
She’s ignoring me. Guess, she doesn’t understand yet. I’ll bet she’ll grow up before we know it. She’ll be starting school. We’ll have to go clothes shopping with her. We’ll have open house and school festivals to go to. We’ll do it all as a family, even though I used to make fun of that stuff growing up. (chuckles)
Nagisa? (gasps)
Nagisa. Here, it’s Ushio’s cheek. Come on. Hey…
(Nagisa Breathes heavily)
Tomoya: Nagisa. You told me you’d always be by my side. You said, we’d always be together. You promised me that, remember? Over and over again. We both promised. That was my only dream. Nothing good ever happened to me until I met you. I thought I had a crappy life but even someone useless like me finally found something to live for.
Right, Nagisa? Right?
Nagisa…
NAGISA!!!

Tomoya thinks of flashback when they first met:
Nagisa's voice echoing in his head: Do you like this school? I have to say that I love it very very much! But soon, everything changes. Well, at least it does eventually. Fun things, happy things, they’ll all eventually change someday, you know. But, do you think you can still love this place anyway?

(Instead of meeting her Tomoya turns the other direction and walks away)
We never should have met. We should have kept going down our separate paths. We
never would have gone out. We never would have gotten married and Ushio never would have been born. Then, at least I wouldn’t have to go through so much suffering.
(sniffle)
(sighs)
We never should have met.”
― Key

“The French don’t valorize a pregnant woman’s anxiety. Instead, in the word cloud of French pregnancy, terms like serenity, balance, and Zen keep popping up. Mothers-to-be are supposed to signal their competence by showing how calm they are and by making it clear that they still experience pleasure. This small shift in emphasis makes a big difference.”
― Pamela Druckerman, Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting

“Cassian grinned and said to Azriel, 'We're going to be uncles.'

Feyre groaned. 'Mother help this child.'

Azriel's own grin bloomed at that, but Feyre's gaze slid to Nesta.

Nesta said quietly to her sister, 'Congratulations.'

For she'd said nothing, had only been able to stand and watch them all, their joy and closeness, as if she were looking in through a window.

But Feyre offered her a tentative smile. 'Thank you. You'll be an aunt, you know.'

'Gods help this child indeed,' Cassian muttered, and Nesta glared at him.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“I do not have fond memories of my ex after the first couple of years. It was all downhill once she was pregnant.”

“For iron and pep, I wanted to make a cold lentil salad with a zingy orange-ginger vinaigrette, handfuls of chopped herbs, and slices of white peach. (The purple-green Puy lentils, more common than the orange ones in France, just seemed too dark for a summer salad.) After unpacking half the kitchen while standing, against my better judgement, on a kitchen chair, I ended up not with orange lentils, but with a bag of yellow split peas. That would have to do.
The split peas had been hiding up there for a while--- I'm pretty sure I bought them after a trip to Puglia, where we were served warm split-pea puree drizzled with wonderful glass-green olive oil and a grind of fresh pepper. Still hankering after a cold salad, I tried cooking the dried peas al dente, as I would the lentils, but a half hour later, where the lentils would have been perfect, the split peas were a chalky, starchy mess. I decided to boil on past defeat and transform my salad into the silky puree I'd eaten with such gusto in Italy.
When the peas were sweet and tender and the liquid almost absorbed, I got out the power tools. I'm deeply attached to my hand blender--- the dainty equivalent of a serial killer's obsession with chain saws. The orange-ginger vinaigrette was already made, so I dumped it in. The recipe's necessary dose of olive oil would have some lively company.
The result was a warm, golden puree with just enough citrus to deviate from the classic. I toasted some pain Poilâne, slathered the bread with the puree, and chopped some dill. My tartines were still lacking a bit of sunshine, so I placed a slice of white peach on top.”
