Lemony: Ok, chapter two. I'm very tired and idk why, I just know sleep doesn't come easy for me. It must be all the StarBucks (cazzybaby don't say a word, lol).
It seemed as if after dinner was when the house was the quietist. Everyone was full therefore sluggish, therefore sleepy. Rukia lifted her children's groundance once they both agreed to make peace. Yes, the tiny house was so quiet Gin thought for a moment his whole family had dropped dead.
Now it was the evening and the hectic afternoon had long sense died away. Kiyomi was locked in her room of course, chatting away on her cellphone. Fumihiko was sitting in his room up to his knees in new books he had gotten from the library. And little Jiro was in the living room with his mother happily laughing at some children's show.
Gin had been sitting in the living next to Rukia on his laptop searching desperately for a new home. He couldn't take living in such cramped conditions anymore and he was positive his family would agree. But trying to move a whole family was difficult, there was the little matter of getting the kids back and forth to school. Then there was the commute to work everyday. More importantly there was a toddler to consider! Being a lawyer, money was issue. Gin had cash for days but he didn't believe in spoiling his children and neither did Rukia. Jiro was wriggling along to something on the TV once Gin looked up, Rukia was giggling at the excited tyke.
"Da-da!" Jiro exclaimed, "Ma-ma!"
Rukia's heart swelled with joy just watching her child. In the early stages of her adult life, Rukia honestly considered not having children. But then she met Gin and fell love and got married.
Then got knocked-up.
It seemed like after Rukia gave birth to Kiyomi she happily accepted the duty as a mother. Blame it on the hormones. After one came another, and then the last who was excitedly crawling about the living room.
"Look at this place," Gin said to his wife, Rukia leaned over to see the screen. The house portrayed was rather large, almost like a mansion.
"Its huge," Rukia said with furrowed eyebrows, Gin nodded.
"That's what I like most about it. We could fit this house, into this one." Gin said glancing around.
"Hmm…it looks nice. I wouldn't mind living in it." Rukia said smiling up him, Gin returned her grin.
"Alright, so then I guess its settled. I call the real estate agent first thing in the morning."
Rukia agreed but then got frantic!
"Where's Jiro?" She cried, they couldn't take their eyes off that kid for two seconds without him getting into something! Gin and Rukia shot off the couch in search for the child. Lo and behold, Jiro was hiding…in the oven!
"Now how did you get in there?" Gin said gingerly taking his child from the stove, Jiro always had a weird ability to get into the strangest places. The horrible thing was, Gin and Rukia had no idea how he did it. Jiro laughed at his father's blank expression.
"Ok, time for bed." Rukia said taking Jiro from Gin and marching him upstairs.
Gin sighed.
He's children where going to be the death of him! Gin rubbed his temples, if it wasn't one thing it was another. He made his way upstairs, he needed to talk to his older children.
Kiyomi somehow was just like her mother when it came to multi-tasking. She was a born prodigy. She was on the phone, on the computer, and doing her nails all in one!
Like mother like daughter.
"Oh my god…no way! Shut up!" Kiyomi said into phone, "Shut up! He did not! Oh please, Riichiro has a crush on me? Really? OMG he's so cute! I would love to have him as a boyfriend."
Upon hearing that, Gin burst into the room.
"Boyfriend?" He said with a quirked eyebrow,
"Gotta go, dad just walked in the room." Kiyomi said into the receiver and then hung up. Gin folded his arms, he wanted an explanation.
"What's this I hear about a boyfriend?" Gin asked his daughter, Kiyomi couldn't help but smile.
"Well, there's this guy who kinda likes me and…
"And?"
"I was gonna ask can I go on a date?" Kiyomi said with her eyes hopefully,
"Absolutely not." Gin told his daughter, Kiyomi visibly deflated.
"Daddy, why?" She whined,
"Because I said so."
Oh, a parents ace in the hole! There was no arguing with 'because I said so'. But Kiyomi was a clever 16 year old.
"I'll just ask mom," She thought with a smirk, Gin noted her expression.
"Don't even think about asking your mother."
"Dammit!"
"Anyways I came to talk to you about something very important," Gin began, Kiyomi looked up at him with curious eyes.
"How do you feel about us moving?" Gin finished, Kiyomi jumped and kissed her father on both cheeks.
"IT'S ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME!" She sang jumping on her bed, Gin expected to Kiyomi to pout about having to move, but he was mistake. Kiyomi was elated, she would no longer have to worry about her father listening in on her conversation. Maybe when she got her new room she'd have a lock on her door, or even no door at all but a secret entrance that only she knew about! Kiyomi danced around her room in ducky pajamas very pleased with news. Gin had long sense left and took two steps down the hall to his sons room.
The silver-haired man peeked his head inside to see his young son snoring with his glasses askew and his face buried in his latest book. Gin skimmed the title, 'The Properties of Photosynthesis' Gin shrugged leave it to his son to read something difficult. He flipped through the pages, the only pictures that could be seen where scientific diagrams. He sighed once he heard his Fumihiko's light snoring. This wasn't the first time he had fallen asleep reading and it wouldn't be the last. Gin gingerly removed his glass and sat them on his bedside table. He closed the book and sat it on Fumihiko's desk that was littered with small plants and notes with his microscope sitting in the corner. Gin decided he would talk with him tomorrow.
For now, he would let the future Noble Prize winner sleep.
Taking two more steps down the hall, he came across the nursery. He stood in the doorway with a genuine smile on his face. He watched Rukia tenderly tuck a yawning Jiro into his crib and kiss him on the forehead. Although his family drove him insane, he loved them all dearly.
Gin remembered when Rukia first told him she was pregnant. Gin nearly fainted. He was shocked and happy and worried and some many other emotions that would take a day to describe. Then when she gave birth to Kiyomi, Gin felt like superman! And this was a feeling he felt to more times once the nausea of watching child birth was passed. It was moments like this that made a parent being worthwhile.
"Shh…he's sleeping." Rukia whispered to her husband, who hadn't made a sound, pointing to Jiro's crib.
"I can see that." Gin whispered mocking his wife slightly, Rukia playfully elbowed him in ribs.
Upon closing the door the couple took three steps down the hall to their bedroom.
"Did you tell the kids about the move?" Rukia asked climbing into bed, she was rather concerned about how her kids may respond to being uprooted. If they didn't like the idea Rukia was not about to push her children into it.
"Kiyomi was happy, and Fumihiko was already asleep when I went to his room, and Jiro I'm sure wont care either way." Gin said also getting into bed.
"Ah, so ok, that's two outa three." Rukia rolling over, Gin nodded.
"So its settled, we're moving."
Lemony: And there off! Gin's kids are psycho! But what do you expect when the come out of my imagination? Anyways still tired, and anyways REVIEW.
