There was no rhyme or reason to this fic. The idea came and I just ran with it. This is the fruit of my labour (or my plot-bunny's for that matter) and any helpful criticism is completely welcome. Hope you enjoy reading it! Many thanks!

Lambo had disappeared again in a puff of pink smoke and had been replaced by his ten years older self. It kept happening so other than being a little annoyed, nobody was really so concerned. He would return in another five minutes anyway.
"Rom..." began Bianchi. In a rare act of kindness, Reborn took her by the waist and kissed her soundly telling her not to think about other men. That had effectively distracted her from hurling anything poisonous his way so at least he would be more alive than dead when he got back. Haru sighed wistfully and watched as Bianchi was dragged away into another room.
"Nee Hayako-chan, where do you think we'll be in twenty years?" she asked looking at Lambo smiling at the little I-pin. They had all grown a little older and Reborn's curse had completely lifted in five years. Still, the future was certainly something to think about.
Hayako shrugged and grunted. She didn't really care about something so trivial and meaningless. The future was as it should be, or could be. She could get into a whole discussion about time and space and the paradox of what is to come and what could come, but it would be wasted effort on Haru. Besides, she didn't mean it in that sense.
"Who knows. I don't really care," she said and got up with her drink.
"Ah, Hayako nee-san," greeted Lambo with a gallant smile. Hayako glared at him, said nothing and went her way. He sighed and glanced briefly at Hibari who came into the room briefly and the Bovino smiled secretly. Well, his time was up, but he was sure his younger self would have been kept out of mischief. He had been on his way to the hospital and the trip really wouldn't have taken a short time.
It was better that way and he hoped his child-self behaved for a while.
It wasn't every day one got to visit Hayako as a brand new mother after all...
