Chapter 1 – We're Married

"To my Daddy and Father!" Ryoma shouted to the crowd of party goers inside Kawamura Sushi, and received a reply of, "To the happy couple!"

The five year-old was excited because today was the wedding of his parents. Everyone around him was happy and laughing, and he was especially happy because ever since Christmas almost a year ago, his daddy only cried one time and that was when his father proposed. He had been scared when he saw the tears and was about to yell at his father, but Fuji had pulled him into a hug and told him they were happy tears. Ryoma had accepted Fuji's words and smiled, but he still didn't like to see water dropping from his daddy's eyes. Today there was no tears, only smiles and laughs.

Fuji and Tezuka gave each other a brief kiss after the toast before they placed their attention once again on their son. Today was a joyful day; a day Fuji never thought he would be able to experience in this lifetime, but it was here. Glancing once again at the man seated next to him, Fuji felt a surge of love and giddiness that he thought he would drown with it, but he figured it would be worth going down like that. His breath caught as Tezuka turned and returned his gaze, and Fuji could see all of the love the other man felt mirrored there. Before he could help himself, he leaned over and gave his new husband another kiss basking in the feelings this man created in him. Their family was truly complete and whole now, and he knew the best thing he ever did for himself and his son was to give Tezuka another chance.

It had been a little over a year and a half since the day Tezuka found Fuji walking on the sidewalk after picking Ryoma up from school, and about eight months since the Christmas night that they got back together. Since that wonderful night, Tezuka Kunimitsu had not disappointed and proved himself time and time again proposing on Valentine's Day. The now happy couple had decided they did not want to wait to say their vows, and together chose to get married while Ryoma was on break from school. Today they had recommitted to each other, renewed their vows, and promised to love each other for eternity… with this time both individuals meaning it and not just the one.

The wedding had been a small affair with only close friends and family joining them at the little park in Chiba where Tezuka had popped the question. Ryoma had walked his daddy down the makeshift aisle made up of red roses and forget-me-nots. The aisle ended on top of the bridge that crossed a small lake in the middle of the park, and there Fuji found Tezuka waiting for him with the sun shining behind him as if he had a halo and was an angel sent to him wearing a black tuxedo with a blue brocade waistcoat and bow tie. Fuji thought that black was too severe for himself and had chosen a white tuxedo with the same blue brocade waistcoat and bowtie.

As Fuji approached his groom, a small smile appeared on Tezuka's face. The first wedding may have been thrust upon him and he rebelled throwing away the best thing he had ever been given in his life, but he had learned his lesson, and he wanted this wedding more than almost anything else in his life. As long as Fuji and Ryoma were there with him, he would be happy and jubilant. His family made him complete and whole. The man standing next to him and the young boy standing between them had done that for him. They were what he had craved and missed in his life.

After the vows had been said, everyone moved the party to Kawamura Sushi where the owner, and Fuji's now former boss, had closed the restaurant for the wedding reception. This was a time to celebrate the happy couple and wish them well into the future. They had been through so much and had enough darkness surrounding their past, it was time to look forward into the light that shined brightly for them now. Toasts were made for the couple and the last one had been their own child, who could probably be heard all the way to Tokyo with as loud has he yelled. It had been cute though, and Ryoma beamed when his parents kissed after the toast.

Grinning, Fuji watched as Tezuka was tackled by the enthusiastic child they had created together. His husband pretended to be hit so hard he went to the floor, although with Ryoma, it was altogether a possibility that the exuberant child threw himself with enough force to knock someone down. This was his family and he was once again reminded how lucky and overjoyed he was to have both of them in his life, loving him. Fuji felt tears well in his eyes, but he would not let them fall because Ryoma still didn't like it when his daddy cried. Even if they were happy tears, they still bothered his little boy because of all of the sad tears Fuji had cried in the past. That life was over though, and it was time to continue forward with this new one full of good tidings and blessings.

"Father, am I really going to stay with Aunt Yumiko and Uncle Yuuta for a whole week?" Ryoma asked hoping that his parents weren't going to go back on their promise.

Tezuka's smile grew slightly, but there was a softening in his eyes as he held his son on his lap, "You are… for a whole week." He chuckled as that response got a very loud yell from the little boy and he glanced Fuji seated next to him only to see a single tear run down his partner's cheek. Bringing one of his hands up to wipe it away, Tezuka leaned over a slight bit and wrapped that same hand around his husband's waist and pulled him closer before whispering in his ear, "I love you Syusuke."

"I love you too Kunimitsu," Fuji spoke softly but he knew the other man heard him.

"Are you telling secrets? I want to know a secret," Ryoma demanded when he saw his parents whispering together. He didn't understand it when both of them started to laugh, "Hey, what so funny?"

"Nothing Ryoma, nothing at all. You want to know a secret, ne?" Fuji queried and put a finger on his chin like he was thinking of a good secret to tell, "Oh how about…" He cupped a hand over his son's ear and whispered, "I love you."

Giggling, Ryoma squirmed in Tezuka's arms before stating emphatically, "I love you too daddy, but that isn't a secret. You're silly!"

"That's not a secret? Oh well, I will have to do better. Let me think," Fuji shifted his gaze to his new husband in silent question. They were going to wait to share the news with Ryoma after they got back from their honeymoon, but he was ready to share the news with their son. When Tezuka kissed him on the temple and nodded, Fuji knew it was alright to tell, "Ok, I have a new secret, but you can't tell anyone. Do you promise?"

"I promise daddy!" Ryoma shouted earning laughs from the others in the restaurant.

"Do you cross your heart?" Fuji probed jokingly.

"I cross my heart! See?" Ryoma crossed his heart like he and the other children did in school sometimes.

"I don't know. What do you think Kunimitsu?" Fuji snickered.

Ryoma was getting impatient and it was more than apparent in the way he whined his next declaration, "Daddy, please. I want to know! I promise! Father, please tell daddy to tell me!"

Chuckling, Tezuka looked from Fuji to Ryoma, "Well I think if that is the case, we can tell him."

"Saa you might be right," Fuji agreed and leaned over to cup his hand over his son's ear as he whispered, "Remember the house that you liked a lot with the swing set? We are going to move into it after your father and I get back from our trip." Although it had been the house that he had shared with Tezuka the first time they were married, Fuji hadn't really relished the idea of moving back into Tezuka's house when it had also been shared with the lunatic of a now ex-wife. His new husband had agreed and they immediately went house hunting. It was the start of a new life and that included a new home. Tezuka put his house on the market believing it might take a while to sell, but it had been bought in less than a month and they had not found a new home yet. However, about a week after that, the family was looking at house together and Ryoma had seen one house he had fallen in love with. It had a swing set in the back yard and enough room for his dog to play. The little boy had declared it perfect and his parents couldn't have agreed more putting in an offer on the house. They opted for a quick closing and the house would be theirs to move into when the honeymoon ended. The closing on Tezuka's house was only a couple of days prior to the wedding, but the old house was already empty and awaiting the new owners.

Ryoma narrowed his eyes on his parents and cocked his head to the side, "Really?" He remembered the house. He didn't remember the others, but he remembered that house. He would get his own room and everything too.

"Really," both Fuji and Tezuka said together.

Eyes growing, Ryoma launched himself at his parents trying to hug both of them at the same time, "Thank you! I promise I won't tell!"

Fuji laughed and ruffled Ryoma's hair, "Ok, we are trusting you." He could feel his son nod against his shoulder and he shared another look with the man he loved above their son. This was perfect and he could not ask for more than that.

Contentment encompassed his entire being as he felt Fuji at his side and Ryoma in his arms. He wasn't sure how he was ever able to push Fuji to the side when he felt such love for the other man now. Even throughout the course of his marriage to the woman he now believed crazy, visions of the other man would make their way into his thoughts and sometimes vision. The moment he saw Fuji walking with Ryoma down the sidewalk had been a turning point in his life; however, due to the insistence from those around him, he had tried to make it work with Minami and when he thought she was pregnant, he tried to not think about Fuji and Ryoma time and time again. It never worked because somehow the duo always made their way into his mind. When he had found out that Minami was faking her pregnancy, it was the excuse he was looking for to leave her behind and he hadn't looked back since except to make sure she could never hurt his real family again. He had loved her and had wanted to continue to love her, but somewhere in their marriage the affection had died and he knew he was searching for something else. The man next to him and the boy in his arms… that was what he wanted, needed, and it went beyond anything he could ever hope for.

Tezuka allowed his thoughts to briefly wander to his ex-wife who was now sitting in a mental asylum for years to come. After a short trial shortly after the turn of the New Year, it was found that she was mentally unstable and needed to be locked up. She had injured two people in the attempt to kill one of them and then attempted to kill again. She wasn't going to be getting out any time soon, and Tezuka made himself a promise that he would make sure she stayed there as long as he could.

"Syusuke, Kunimitsu it is about time for you to leave," Yumiko told the couple after she had taken a picture of the family of three sharing an embrace. She knew her brother would love it and she couldn't resist snapping it.

"Saa, you're right nee-san," Fuji looked at his watch and noticed the time.

Standing up with Ryoma still in his arms, Tezuka offered a hand to Fuji and helped him to his feet as well. Kissing his son's head, he spoke softly in his ear, "You behave for your aunt and uncle, and make sure you do what they tell you to. Okay?"

"I will father. Will you bring me back a surprise?" Ryoma inquired excitedly because what five year-old doesn't want surprises when his parents go away. He was still nervous about not seeing his parents for a week and had never really ever been without his daddy, but he was a brave big boy now and he could do it. A week wasn't that long and soon they would be home again.

"We will bring you back a surprise if you are good," Tezuka said smiling.

"I be good! I promise!" Ryoma exclaimed.

Shaking his head, Fuji pulled Ryoma into his arm, "I am going to miss you pumpkin."

"I miss you too daddy," the little boy said as he squeezed his daddy's neck.

"We will call you tomorrow and you be sure to be good for everyone," Fuji said softly, but was reluctant to let his son go. It would be the first time they would really be separated and he was timid about leaving his son… even if it was with his brother and sister.

"Hai!" Ryoma spoke a small catch in his voice the only indication that he wasn't exactly excited about his parents leaving for a week.

Yumiko walked up to the couple and rubbed her nephew's back, "Don't worry Ryoma. They will be back soon and we are going to have a lot of fun together. We will do whatever you want!"

Fuji smiled and handed his son over to his sister, "We will call you every day pumpkin, and you are going to have a blast!"

"Aniki is right. We will have so much fun, before you know it, the week will be gone," Yuuta declared trying to coax a smile out of his nephew. He could see the tears swimming in his eyes, but they did not fall.

"You two have fun, and don't worry about Ryoma. We will all make sure he has a good time," Tezuka Ayana reassured the parents knowing how hard it was to leave your child for the first time.

"Thank you mother," Tezuka gave his mother a small kiss on her cheek before putting his attention back on Fuji, "Are you ready?"

Fuji was ready and he was excited for his honeymoon, but he wasn't so sure he was ready to leave his son right now. He knew he didn't have much of a choice though since it would be very awkward to bring Ryoma with them. Clearing his throat and nodding his head, he finally smiled at his husband, "Yes, let's go."

The couple both gave their son one more kiss and hug good-bye before they made their way through the well-wishers and bubbles. Once they made it outside, they were able to get into the car and were soon off on their honeymoon together, a week for just them and the love they shared.
