A\N: I apologize for the late update, I know that you're all mad at me right now for not updating, but this chapter is finally here.
When people say that your kids are not the same, they were probably right.
Shizuru Fujino was helpless for the first time in her life. She thought that she already knew all about children after having Ayaka, but what was happening now proved to her that she nothing about them.
A 4- months- old Saeko was crying loudly, no matter what Shizuru did, she wouldn't stop crying.
"Why won't you stop crying?" Shizuru asked with tears in her eyes
Natsuki and Ayaka were on their way to their house, Ayaka wanted to go to the park earlier so Natsuki took her there since Shizuru was busy bathing Saeko.
They entered the house and took their shoes off, well; actually Natsuki took their shoes off, since Ayaka was only capable of recognizing her own shoes.
"Tadayma!" Ayaka yelled, but they received no answer
"Shizuru?" Natsuki called entering the living room
"Na-Chan, where is mama?" Ayaka wondered too
"Don't worry, she's probably taking a bath, here, watch some cartoons" Natsuki switched the T.V on. Ayaka nodded and Natsuki went upstairs to look for Shizuru.
When she reached their bedroom she could hear a faint crying, she opened the door and saw Saeko lying on their bed and Shizuru sitting next to her crying
"Shizuru! What's wrong?" Natsuki said worriedly, Shizuru rarely cried, and this was definitely different than her teasing.
"Shizuru, please tell me what's wrong" Natsuki said hugging her, after Shizuru have calmed down she told Natsuki that Saeko was crying and she didn't know what to do to make her stop. Natsuki chuckled upon hearing this and said
"Who would've believed that the ex-kaichou of Fuuka Academy will freak out over something like this?" Natsuki giggled heading to the door
"Na-tsu-ki!" Shizuru said with her face slightly flushed
"Nani? Oi Shizuru, why are you blushing?!"
Indeed, Shizuru was blushing, but she won't let herself be in Natsuki's position, she is the teaser, and Natsuki is the blusher, not the other way around. She dismissed that thought as she left the bedroom with Saeko who was smiling widely.
"Are you ok now?" Natsuki asked as Shizuru entered the living room
"Ara, is Natsuki that concerned about me?" Shizuru said with a hint of teasing
"Baka! You were crying for real, I thought that something was wrong!"
"And why would Natsuki think that?"
"Shizuru, you were freaking out only because Saeko was crying"
"Do I have to mention that Natsuki never carried Saeko? Not even once?"
"Umm… well…t… that's different" Natsuki stuttered, she regretted trying to make Shizuru blushing again, it seems that Shizuru have developed some kind of immunity against Natsuki's teasing
"How come?" Shizuru pushed, she won't stop her attack until she saw a satisfying blush on Natsuki's face
"Well… s… she moves a lot, I can't carry her if she was moving!" Natsuki came up with something
"Ara, as far as I know, she never moves when I carry her, but how will Natsuki know? She never carried her before"
"No! That's not it! Besides, it's better when you carry her"
"Why is that?" gotcha Shizuru thought
"Umm… well…" Natsuki stuttered blushing, but Shizuru wasn't satisfied yet
"What is it my Na-tsu-ki?" Shizuru said in a husky voice
"Shizuru! What's with that tone?!" Natsuki's blush deepened
"Ara, what's wrong my dear Natsuki?"
"Stop it"
"Stop what? I haven't done anything yet"
"So you were planning on doing something!" Natsuki imagined what Shizuru might, or probably will do to her, which caused a major blush to appear on her face
"Ara, why is Natsuki blushing? Is she thinking about something perverted?"
"Iie!!" by this point Natsuki's face was completely bright red; she couldn't take all the heat in her face and passed out
"Ara, ara, maybe I've gone a little far?"
When Natsuki opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was that she was in their bedroom, the second thing was, she felt someone on top of her, she took a look at that thing and she saw a small raven head.
"Saeko? What are you doing here?" of course, a 4-months- old child couldn't speak
"Damn it! How I'm I supposed to leave the room now?" she turned her head to the side, and saw another small sleeping figure
"Ayaka? What the hell is going on?!"
She looked around her, and noticed that Shizuru wasn't in the room with her, and then she noticed a note on the bedside table next to her:
Dear Natsuki,
I have some business to take care of; I'll probably come back later.
Please take good care of the children,
With love,
Shizuru
It took a few seconds for Natsuki to fully understand the situation
"Me? Alone with the children?" she muttered to herself, then
"SHIZURU!!" she yelled on top of her lungs, which definitely woke up her sleeping children
"What?" Ayaka asked in surprise, and Saeko – being Saeko- started to cry immediately.
"Hahahahahaha! Poor Natsuki" Miyuki said between fits of laugher, Shizuru was trying hard not burst out laughing like her sister, and it was amusing to watch Natsuki trying to take care of the children all alone
"God, this is better than any comedy sitcom ever" Miyuki said wiping her eyes, it was her idea after all.
She have called Shizuru last night, and told her about her plan, and at morning, she came early and planted the cameras around the house, and took Shizuru with her, and here they are, watching a live Natsuki show from her apartment.
Sure, Shizuru wasn't approving this 100 but, it was interesting to see how will Natsuki act in such situation
"Oh my god, look how'll she get Saeko out of the room, poor baby!" Miyuki pointed looking at the screen, indeed; Natsuki had a very strange idea of moving her daughter around the house without carrying her.
"Ara, that's a little dangerous, don't you think?"
"Not really, but I wonder how'll she go dawn the stairs, she'll probably drop her"
"Ara, Ara, I'm starting to get worried"
"No worries even thought Natsuki-Chan is a total idiot when it comes to children, but I know that she won't do anything to hurt her babies" Miyuki reassured her
"I know that, but, isn't it a little cruel to do this to her?"
"Not at all, she'll have to learn how to take care of children someday"
"Well, if you say so" Shizuru turned her attention to the screen again; she was interested to know how will her wife get out of this sticky situation all by herself.
Natsuki was so… well, there isn't a proper word to describe how she was feeling, but she was standing next to her bed, trying to calm down her crying children, she knew that trying to calm down Saeko is an impossibility, not even Shizuru could calm her dawn sometimes, so she moved to the easy target, Ayaka.
"Ayaka, calm down" she said hugging her daughter
"I didn't mean to scare you" she patted Ayaka's back, after a while, Ayaka seemed to calm down a little
"I'm sorry ok? I didn't mean to yell like that" she said softly, Ayaka slowly nodded her head
"Where is mama?"
"Well, she's out; she said that she'll comeback later tonight"
Ayaka nodded in understanding, as much as Natsuki wanted to go downstairs to eat something, she realizes that Saeko was still crying, she'll have to find a way to make her stop her crying, or , she might not be able to have breakfast today.
"Saeko, calm down" she said as she patted Saeko's soft chubby cheek, but she doubted that Saeko even heard her, after sometime later, Natsuki decided to go to the kitchen to try to prepare some breakfast, as she went to the door, she realized that she can't leave Saeko in the room by herself, she thought of a way to move her daughter without carrying her, but she failed, then she had an idea.
She brought some small blanket, and pulled Saeko on it, then she slowly lowered the blanket to the floor, this way, she'll move her daughter around the house without having to carry her, her plan was successful until she reached the stairs, there is no way she'll get downstairs dragging her baby like that, she stood at the top of the stairs thinking, but her thoughts were interrupted by both Saeko and Ayaka's crying
"Now what?!"
She did all she can to make them stop their crying, but they wouldn't stop, Natsuki felt that she was going to cry too, but she have to pull herself together and find a way out of this.
She dragged Saeko with her to the bedroom again, she left the room and stood in the hall trying to think of how to make her daughters stop crying, after a while, she couldn't come up with anything, then she had an idea, she grabbed her phone and called Mai.
"Hey Mai" she greeted
"Natsuki, is everything ok? You sound kinda desperate"
"I AM DESPIRATE!! Mai, I need your help, can come over here as soon as you can?"
"Hang in there Natsuki, I'll be here soon!"
15 minutes later, the door bell rang, Natsuki ran towards the door, and opened it for Mai and her boys
"Natsuki, what's wrong?"
"Mai, Shizuru left for some work and left me alone here with the children! They've been crying for the last 20 minutes, they won't stop no matter what I did" Natsuki sounded as she was going to start crying too
"Don't worry Natsuki, let's start from the beginning, kids must have a reason to cry, have you fed them?" Mai asked as she headed towards the girl's crying voice
"No, I couldn't take Saeko downstairs"
'' And you expect them NOT to cry?! Anyways, have you changed their diapers?"
"Diapers!?" Natsuki said in horror
"Natsuki!! Are you an idiot or what?! You haven't fed them nor changed their diapers yet! How do expect them to react?"
"I… I don't know"
"There is no point in talking about this, Ryu, sit here with your brother" Mai told her 3- years old son as she picked up Saeko and went to the children's room, Natsuki followed her with Ayaka.
After changing the kids' diapers and clothes, they headed downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Else where (Miyuki's apartment)
"Aww, Mai-san's presence will ruin all the fun!" Miyuki whined.
Shizuru was relieved when Mai came, at least some one capable will keep an eye on the children now.
"But it's better than having Natsuki watch them all by herself"
"But it was fun!" Miyuki insisted, Shizuru sighed as she turned her attention back to the screen
"It's not fun at all; I prefer to be there, my poor Natsuki looks like she's going to snap at any moment now"
"She won't snap now that she has Mai-san with her" she turned her attention back to the screen.
After some minutes of watching.
"Ara, I think I should go back home, I never saw Ayaka this upset before" Shizuru said after seeing a very upset Ayaka who was even refusing to sit in her highchair.
"You're leaving already?" Miyuki asked as she saw Shizuru leaving the apartment
"I have to, my family needs me" with that Shizuru was out of the apartment and heading to her car.
Back in the house, things were in total chaos, Saeko was still crying, she had stopped for a while, but she resumed her favorite activity after a short rest.
Ayaka wasn't crying like before, but she was too upset, she refused to sit in her highchair, and she also refused to have her breakfast, instead, she was sitting next to Natsuki who was currently concentrating on keep feeding Saeko like Mai had taught her.
she wondered how long will she be able to survive like this, she also realized that Shizuru is so important to the family, she kept order in the house, and made sure that everyone was comfortable.
After she finished feeding Saeko, who had finally stopped crying, she turned to Ayaka, to be honest with herself, Natsuki didn't know how to approach her daughter, she have never seen her this upset before, but she'll try her best, she won't leave her little girl starving.
Slowly, she picked up Ayaka and placed her on the counter, Ayaka seemed to have a hate relationship with her highchair at the moment, Natsuki got a small jar of baby food from the cupboard above, and started to feed Ayaka, who refused to eat at first, but eventually she gave in and ate her food.
By the time Natsuki finished feeding Ayaka, Mai has already left after making sure that everything was ok, as Natsuki was heading back to the living room with Ayaka, she heard the front door open and Shizuru came in.
As if on cue, both Natsuki and Ayaka were in Shizuru's arms in almost no time, after a short while, Shizuru placed Ayaka on the couch and tended to her still-traumatized-from-all- previous-events wife.
Natsuki almost couldn't believe that Shizuru was back, but before Shizuru could 'make it up' for Natsuki, she placed her wife in the couch and went to remove all the cameras that her sister has planted.
xxxXXXxxx
at a very late hour that night, Miyuki was bored, so very bored, she hoped that Shizuru have forgot to remove at least one of the cameras, but she couldn't see anything, Shizuru have probably removed everything, but before she turned off the TV, she heard something, it wasn't clear at first, but when she turned up the volume she could hear clearly, first, she heard some panting, or more like gasping, then there was some moaning and
"Mmmmm, don't stop Shizuru, please…"
"as my Natsuki wishes"
Then
"Ahhhhhhh, Shi… Shizuru…. Please…. Ahhh"
At this point Miyuki turned off the TV and went to her room, hoping to forget what she just heard.
