Chapter 2 – You want us to be your family.

Hisao

I open my eyes and see that Hanako was resting her head on my chest, not that I'm complain… because of the events from two days ago she decided to give me a "present" every night and I very happy with that. Then I see the clock… "Honey is 15 past 10, wake up…" "Just five m-minutes, please…" she says this with her head fondling my chest. "It's Sunday". Then she gets up cutting me off with a big smile on her face, she smiling this way is difficult most of the times all that I can do is a timid smile from her but her smiling like this makes me feel that nothing could go wrong in the world.

"Hisao let's go!" what? Is she ready? I go down the stairs and see her on the front door already changed with a long skirt shirt with the classical hat and a jacket all ready to go… "That was fast." I say that with a face of surprise "Honey isn't you going to eat, take a shower or something?" She looks at me with a glare that says - like I funcking care for that – I never saw her staring someone like this… i-i-it's like she is staring my soul! "I-I-I going to change my clothes." I quickly change my clothes put a social shirt and a pair of jeans with a sweater vest and go to the car… I never thought that she could be so scary.

Hanako

Looking through the window I start to remember when we decided to start a family, it was one year ago.

1 year ago

"S-S-So… y-you want to have children?" I ask him with all my will waiting him to respond, but why would him want to have children with me, he has all the reasons to don't want it may be my scars or my shyness or his arrhythmia or…"Yes" I was cut off from my line of thought by a response and a kiss that is becoming wilder and wilder.

"Wait you really want to start a family w-w-with me?!" I say that with a face of surprise as I break up from the kiss. "Well of course, and wasn't this the answer you wanted?" It was the answer that I wanted, but why? Why he wanted start a family with me? "Why?" "Well because I love you and if start a family would make you happy so… let's start now!" I kiss him with all my passion and say "Show me how."

Present day

All he wants is to make me happy, when I notice we are almost there. "So yesterday I passed by the orphanage and I m-met s-s-some of the k-kids…" I say this not wanting him to be mad at me. "Good, how are the kids? Did you like any of them?" as he asks me this I try to find a way to tell him what I want to do. "Well… you know I met three five year olds girls, that got there one month ago… so I met them and they all liked me and I like them all… a-a-and they are the cutest things" but he cut me off agreeing to what I would say. "Yes we can adopt all them." I smile and say "Thanks honey…thank you very much." "So tell me about the girls" How do I start? "First there is thing an you should know". As I start to look nervous he tries to pay attention on both the road and me with a concerned look on he's face. Then he says "What's wrong?" I gather all my strength to say "T-T-They… t-they all h-have disabilities…" seeing the shock from his face makes clear that he doesn't want to adopt them anymore. He stops the car, starts smiling and says "Hanako you meet three girls, yesterday and saw yourself on them didn't you?" I can't lie I did saw myself on them no parents, hurt, and lonely and after all that I was put through when I was on an orphanage. I can't see then going through the same. "Y-Yes, Hisao" He keeps the smile. "You're so good sometimes. I thought something like that would happen, because you Hanako, you know better than anyone what's to lose your parents, to live in an orphanage. Hanako if want to become their mother – scratch that – to become their mommy I will be proud to be with you and to become their daddy." He then starts to drive again, and I start to smile and hug him and say "Hisao I think that I've fallen in love for you again" I plant a kiss on his cheek, now I'm just waiting to get at the orphanage.

We get there, Hisao parks the car and we go inside, as I see the place I start to remember my orphanage cold, sad… hopeless. "So where… are the children?" Hisao asks. "Well… you see the three girls that I talked about are the only ones in here…" I say to him. Then suddenly I hear a scream. "Purple-chan!" It's a 5 year old girl, with white hair, very pale skin with red eyes, dressed in a blue dress, her name is Aka Yuki. She gets closer and hug me "Purple-chan! You came!" she says and then stops hugging me and looks at Hisao. "Purple-chan, who is this?" she says that with a look of confusion on her face. "He's my husband Nakai Hisao, I told you about him don't you remember?" she then smiles and Hisao crouch and stands his hand. "Hello nice to meet you. What is your name?" Yuki then frown and gets away from him, trying to hide her arms from us. "No…" then I get closer to Hisao and whisper on his ears "She has scars on her arms she doesn't like to show them." Sadly Yuki listened… "Purple-chan! You promised you wouldn't say it no one. You meany!" "Wait, Aka-chan why you don't like me?" Hisao asks her making her speech less. "It's because… you don't have scars, now you will think that I'm ugly and because of this you will not like me." She starts to cry, I try to comfort her but she doesn't let me. "Aka-chan, I have a scar too." Her eyes widen and she asks. "Where?" "In my chest." She came closer to me again and asked "Beige-san… the bad man punished you?" Confusion was stamped on Hisao's face so I whisper on his ear again. "The bad man was the one who give her those scars, the headmaster of the orphanage said to me that it was her uncle…" a sad expression appears on his face. "Aka-chan, can I call you Yuki-chan?" "Yes, Beige-san!" she says this with a smile on her face, it's just so cute. "Yuki-chan you want us to be your family?" Hisao asks this, and I hopping that she says yes. "Me? Why?" She looks a little confused so I hug her from behind and say "Because you are polite, well behaved and very cute." She starts to blush then Hisao asks "So what is the answer?" she turns around and buries her face on my chest and says "Y-Yes". "Ok, then so honey where the others are?" …good question I have no idea but then I remember "On the library." I pick Yuki up, and she's crying? "What's wrong sweetie?' I ask. "I'm happy…now I don't need to be here anymore. She buries her face on my chest again and we go to the library.

We got there then we find a tall girl reading in a bean bag she has reddish brown hair, fair skin and light brown eyes dressed with green pants with a light green shirt with a flower stamped, she is Kona Hamu. "Hanako didn't you said that all of them were five? She must be ten at least." "She is five is that she is a little tall for age." "A little…" he says this with a look of – seriously- on his face so I ask "What?" "A little… you know forget it let's talk to her." Before he go I grab his arm and ask "Do you k-know sing language?" "Yes I do." Yeah I remember now, he learned two years ago, Hisao laboratory got new personal and one of them was deaf so he learned sing language. How I forget this stuff? So we go to her, she seems to be into the book, what is she reading… Life of Pi this brings me memories, good memories. Hisao gets closer to me "Do you saw the book she is reading?" he notices too "Yeah, I hope she is liking it." I say. I put Yuki on the ground and we go talk to Hamu. "Brown-chan!" Yuki say greeting her, she put the book aside and waves her, so I and Hisao get near her she grab a little notebook and a pencil and starts to write "Hi Ikezawa-san, hi Yuki-chan who is this?" she ask through her notebook I don't think she knows sing language. "This is my husband Nakai Hisao." "Hello what's your name?" she then proceeds to write her name "Kona Hamu" her handwriting is delicate and very feminine. "Kona-chan could I call you Hamu-chan?" Hisao asks crouched in front of her then she starts to write "Ok, Nakai-san" I bend in front of her and ask "Hamu-chan do you know sing language." She then proceeds to write again "What is sing language?" This take me by surprise I known she is mute but why she wasn't teach sing language? Then Hisao asks "Do want us to be your family?" So suddenly, now Hamu was taken by surprise her hand is trembling, but she still tries to write. "for real?" She starts to smile, and point at her notebook. "Yes, for real." As I say that she hugs me and so I hug her. "Brown-chan is going to with us?" asks Yuki "Yes." Say Hisao. "Cool." She replies. "Ok now we have to find Kura-chan." Then Hamu gets off the hug and goes to hold Hisao's hand but not before writing on her notebook. "I know where she is." "Where." Ask Hisao. She writes again "On her room." I don't know where the children's rooms are. But before I can ask for this Yuki and Hamu starts to pull us.

Two minutes later we found ourselves on a different part of the building where are lots of rooms, this reminds me of Yamaku, the dormitories. We stop. Hamu writes on her notebook "shhhh Kura and rabbit-san are sleeping." "Ok so can you two wait here?" Hisao asks the two of then agree. I get near her and try to wake her up. She has fair skin, Ciano hair, red eyes and dark circles around her eyes. She is hugging her stuffed rabbit, rabbit-san. "Kura-chan, wake up." I say. She starts to open her eyes put her bunny in front of her and say "She says hello" "Hello, Kura-chan, Bunny-san How are you two?" she put her bunny in front of her again "We are fine, who is this." She asks. "This is my husband, Nakai Hisao." Then Hisao stands his hands, in response Kura stands her bunny's hand and shakes his hand. "Hi, how are you?" he says. "We are fine, but Ikezawa-san and Nakai-san what you want?" I look at her little hands grasping her bunny with all her strength for some reason… "Is something wrong?" Hisao asks. "Are you going to leave us here? Like yesterday?" she says that through her bunny, not looking directly at us, I grab her and pick her up "Kura-chan do you want us to be your family?" I say this with a smile in response she smiles back and says "We want! Please." Then Yuki came and scolds her "Hey! I want to be carried too!" she looks at Hisao and sees him caring Hamu, her look of disappointment breaks my heart so I stand my hand to her… and she take it. "So let's adopt them." Says Hisao and we go through ward to the director's office to make our family official.
