Hello my MiyuSawa lovers.

Welcome to the continuation of Coping With it All.

While it isn't COMPLETELY necessary that you read the first fic to understand this one, I do suggest it as there will be small links to it here and there and small background links that I may or may not go into complete detail about because they have been described in the last fic.

This fic will most definitely be much more fluffy and happy than the other, but, at the same time, there will be ups and downs to it seeings as there must be a story to it and not endless fluff.

This fic is a continuation but it is 10 years later.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoy writing it.

For those of you reading my Gareki x Yogi fic: Please don't kill me I simply haven't found the motivation to continue it T_T

without further ado, Enjoy and thanks for reading,

Everyone Deserves a Little bit of Happiness

Chapter 1

Sawamura loved the smell of fresh baked pastries in the morning, it could account for about thirty percent of the reason he had strived to open his own shop. As the oven went off, the twenty six year old ex-pitcher pulled oven mitts on before pulling the door open and grabbing the tray.

"Daddy!"

Sawamura lifted the hot pan above his head as tiny arms wrapped around his legs.

"Careful Clara, hot pan." Sawamura stated before setting the pan down and reaching down for his baby girl.

"They smell so good!" The young girl stated, baby blue eyes washing over with happiness.

"Are you helping me set up today?" Sawamura asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Clara stated happily.

"If you do a good job, I'll put a pastry in with your lunch for school today."

Clara squealed with excitement before running off to find the small apron that had been made especially for her.

Sawamura jumped when a larger pair of arms grabbed him from behind, startling him.

"Don't give her too many sweets."

"Am I not allowed to spoil our daughter once in a while?" Sawamura asked while raising a brow. He turned in the pair of arms before pressing a kiss against the lips of the young man before him.

"Good morning, what time do you get home today?"

"Hm, Yoichi wanted to go out for drinks." Miyuki mumbled.

"You don't sound so thrilled."

"Drinks after a case. Now wouldn't it be ironic if I lost?" Miyuki asked while raising a brow.

"The great Miyuki Kazuya lose a case? The young blood that everyone speaks about? The lawyer that everyone strives to get but can't afford, lose a case?"

"Well, when you put it that way..." Miyuki's smirk appeared before he pressed another kiss to Sawamura's lips.

"Mimi!"

Sawamura could only smile as Miyuki bent down to catch his young daughter's hug.

"Morning Clara, did you sleep well?" The ex-catcher asked as he brought his daughter up in his arms.

Clara nodded before smiling.

"I'm gonna help daddy!" She said happily.

"Oh yea? Teach him how it's done right okay?" Miyuki stated before putting the young girl back down.

Clara nodded vigorously before turning towards Sawamura.

"I'm never getting over what she calls you." Sawamura stated with a smirk.

"It's been three years." Miyuki stated with a huff. "Move on."

Sawamura kept his smirk as he checked on the other pastries that were in the oven.

Miyuki had managed to help Sawamura in his new found admiration in sweets when he himself was hitting it well with his Law studies.

The couple had managed to score a small coffee shop that held a home just above. Although not huge, the two had found their home to be warm along with their five year old baby girl.

The doorbell went off, grabbing Sawamura's attention.

"Seems as though the employee is here." Miyuki stated while casting a worried gaze towards Clara as she ogled the ovens. "Let's put your hair in a ponytail, shall we?" He stated before ushering her back up the stairs, leading them into the private living area.

Sawamura made his way to the door, unlocking it and letting his best friend and co-worker into his establishment.

"Morning Eijun." Haruichi greeted with a smile.

"Morning Haruichi." The ex-pitcher stated with a warm smile of his own. "How was the game yesterday?"

Haruichi's face seem to brighten about three shades as the ex-pitcher in front of him spoke.

"I'll never get over watching them play together, they are the ultimate duo." Haruichi stated as the two of them made it back towards the kitchen.

"I didn't manage to catch the game, but I heard they won?" Sawamura continued.

"It was a close game, but Yoichi said that Ryosuke had the pitcher down by the second inning. Do you ever miss it? I do." The words of admiration and longing spilled from Haruichi's lips.

"Take a breath Haruichi." Sawamura said before chuckling.

The pinklet blushed before smiling.

"Sorry, I had a really good time." He said before going over to the display shelf and opening the back.

"Clara's gonna do the croissants. She loves putting them out." Sawamura stated as he headed upstairs to check on Miyuki and their little monster.

Clara kept struggling as Miyuki ran a brush through her knotted blond locks.

"I can't brush your hair if you keep shaking your head Clara." Miyuki stated as he set the brush down.

"It hurts..." Clara muttered.

The ex-catcher couldn't help the way his heart melted at his daughter's words.

"Just a little longer." Miyuki said with a soft smile before he continued to brush her hair.

Eventually, he pulled the blonde locks back into a ponytail and scrutinized his word.

"That won't work..."

"I'll say, go get ready for work, I'll do it."

Miyuki glanced up at Sawamura who was leaning on the living room door's edge.

"Mh... Thanks." The ex-catcher stated as he sat up off the couch and handed the brush to his partner.

Sawamura pulled Clara's hair into a tight ponytail with ease before the girl bounded down the stairs practically singing 'uncle Haru!'.

Miyuki popped out of their room wearing his business attire.

"You look handsome." Sawamura stated while giving Miyuki's body a once.

"I don't usually look handsome?" Miyuki asked while raising a brow.

Sawamura rolled his eyes before heading down the stairs.

"Want a coffee?" He called as Miyuki grabbed a couple things he needed for work, including car keys.

"Do I ever say no?"

"I'm poisoning you one of these days."

"Wow. I love you to."

"What's poison daddy?"

Miyuki popped his head into the stairwell, smirk in place as his ears picked up the question.

"Yea daddy, what's poison?" Miyuki asked as he walked down the stairs.

"It's something bad. Daddy was just kidding." Sawamura stated before patting Clara's head. "I thought that you were helping Uncle Haru with setting the pastries out."

Clara smiled broadly.

"We're done. I made it pretty!" She stated before nodding satisfactorily.

Sawamura made his way to the front of the shop, pleased to find Haruichi already brewing pots of the morning coffee.

"Are you taking Clara into school?" Sawamura asked, turning back towards Miyuki.

"Mhm. I'll also pick her up on the way home." Miyuki said as he watched the young girl run up to stairs, after having hung her apron, to presumably grab her bag.

Sawamura placed a croissant into the girl's lunch box before handing it to Miyuki.

"I thought you were going out for drinks tonight?"

"I can still bring Clara home. You want me to go out in my suit?"

"You're right, I don't want to scare the poor bartender." Sawamura stated before sighing.

"Oi, Oi." Miyuki muttered, reaching out for Sawamura and tugging him towards himself.

"I'm gonna restock the coffee." Haruichi stated quietly as he side stepped the couple.

"You're creeping Haruichi out." Sawamura stated before rolling his eyes.

"I'm heading to work." Miyuki stated before raising a brow.

"Congrats?" Sawamura then answered, raising a brow.

Miyuki sighed before pulling his arms away.

Sawamura stepped away, filling an away cup before handing it to Miyuki.

"I'm just kidding." The ex-pitcher muttered before reaching towards Miyuki's tie and yanking him down to his level, kissing him. "I love you, have a good day." Sawamura stated, small blush in place.

Miyuki smirk, eyes dancing with both love and amusement.

"I love you too. See you at the end of the day."

"Bye daddy!" Clara called, as she ran down the stairs.

"Bye angel, be good kay?" Sawamura said as he brought Clara up into his arms.

"Always!" the young girl stated, pressing her lips to Sawamura's cheek.

Clara had her tiny fingers clasped in Miyuki's as they made their way to the school's front door. Pressing the buzzer, the two stepped back and waited for the door to unlock and let them in.

"Anything special in daycare this week?" Miyuki asked as he pulled the door open, letting Clara in first.

"Mh… I donno." Clara said before shrugging her shoulders.

Miyuki casted a glance to the side as the two walked down the hall, the sound of many children's voices in the distance.

"I'm learning to spell new words today." Clara stated with a satisfactory nod.

"Oh? Do you know which words?" Miyuki asked as they stepped into a room.

"Nope, it's a surprise." Clara stated with a small smile.

"Ah Clara, good morning."

Miyuki looked up with a smile as one of the caretakers in the daycare program greeted his daughter.

"Morning!" Clara said, quickly detaching from Miyuki's hand and running to greet the group of kids sitting around a round table.

Both Sawamura and Haruichi finished taking the chairs down in the mini café before Haruichi flipped the sign. The door opened almost instantly, drawing both boys' attention.

"Good morning!" Haruichi greeted, turning towards the customer.

"Miyuki's been badgering me to visit, and I heard that the coffee is good, so I figured I'd say hello."

Sawamura's eyes widened before his head snapped up.

"Chris?!"

The catcher that the ex-pitcher had looked up to while training in the second string could only smile as the boy called his name.

"How are you?!" Sawamura continued. "Or, what can I get you?!"

Haruichi chuckled at his best friend's excitement.

"A simple cappuccino if you will, I'll also have one of those famous apple tarts."

Sawamura nodded vigorously as he punched it into the computer.

"How much will that be?" Chris asked.

"On me." Sawamura stated as he promo-ed his old trainer's meal.

"Are you sure?" Chris asked as he pulled out his wallet.

"Very, you came to visit me after all." The country boy stated as he worked on prepping Chris' food.

Haruichi busied himself with getting the pastry that Chris had ordered, setting it on a plate before putting in on a tray.

"How's work treating you?" The pinklet asked with a soft smile.

"Well, and yourself?" Chris asked, smiling as the younger Kominato spoke to him.

"Can't complain." Haruichi said as he leant up on the counter.

"I see both your brother and Kuramochi are doing well." The ex-catcher continued. "I caught the game, very close."

"It was quite the game." Haruichi agreed as Sawamura set the cappuccino on the tray for Chris.

"Thank you." Chris stated as he took a sip. "I suppose Miyuki wasn't kidding when he said your coffee was the best."

"He said that?" Sawamura asked, small smile breaking across his lips.

"Yes, our hard ass catcher gushes about you just about every chance he gets. If not you, then Clara."

Sawamura had a pink tint to his face as the three continued to talk. His attention was grabbed when the door jingled, indicating a customer's arrival.

"No worries." Haruichi said as Sawamura went to go take the order. "Catch up a bit."

Miyuki sighed as he leafed through the files in front of him. The case before him was rather complicated, though not impossible. He wished it was one of the normal washed up sports cases where he could simply go on autopilot for the whole trial.

"I can feel a migraine starting…" Miyuki mumbled to himself as he let the file fall close.

The ex-catcher leaned back into his desk chair, the noon sun shining in through the blinds that he had haphazardly ripped closed in annoyance as the sun blinded him. It was now closing in on one in the afternoon, his case starting two hours from now.

The catcher glanced down at his pocket when his phone went off. Pulling the device out of his pocket, he couldn't stop the small smile that tugged at his lips when Sawamura's name danced across his screen.

Mei offered to pick Clara up today. Heard your case starts at 3. Good luck, not that you need it. Love ya.

Miyuki rose a brow at the message before hitting the reply button.

I swear Mei spends more time with Clara than we do. I'll make sure to kick ass for you. See you later tonight.

The catcher set his phone on the desk as he gathered his files, putting them into his briefcase before standing.

"Alrighty… Time to get this over with then…" He muttered to no one in particular.
