Hi everyone.

Please read and then review.

It is Mai's seventh birthday in just three days, and she has made it clear that she doesn't want a party. "If you throw a surprise party, you will suffer a painful death." Mai threatened.

So Lin arranged for just the two of them to go out for dinner and then go home and watch movies at home. Lin went out and got Mai's favourite movies. Some were girlish movies, some were action movies.

He flinched when the cashier flirted with him. "Are you in to romantic movies?" She asked in a flirty tone.

"No, my wife does. It's her birthday." Lin replied. The cashier's flirty smile disappeared on her face when he said wife.

"Oh, that's romantic." The cashier said in a fake friendly voice as she gave Lin his movies. She also gave him her number. "Give me a call if things don't work out with your wife."

Lin couldn't believe that she was happy to have an affair with him… "No thank you. I'm in love with my wife. I'd be surprised if you get a boyfriend, that is not someone else's boyfriend and husband. How many relationships have you ruined? " Lin said and glared at her. The cashier flinched under the glare.

"Thank you." Lin said and left. Lin had a feeling that that girl won't give up. Just has he turned around he saw Madoka running up to him with Naru following behind her, but he wasn't running. He looked like he was dragged along.

"Madoka, what are you doing here?" Lin asked. The cashier was listening, he could feel it. "I'm planning a party for Mai's birthday." Madoka said joyfully. "Madoka, did you not hear what Mai said?" Lin said in annoyance.

"She does want a party, she just doesn't know it." Madoka said.

Lin groaned in frustration. "Let me make it clear, Madoka… Mai threatened to kill anyone who tries to throw her a party." Lin said. "And she meant it. She doesn't want people to make a fuss about her." Lin added.

"But-"

"No Madoka. At the point of death, do not throw Mai a party. I am taking her out to dinner and then we are going to watch movies at home, just the two of us." Lin whispered at Madoka. "Poo." Madoka pouted.

"We can still get her a little something though and take her out for lunch..." Naru said to cheer his girlfriend up. She squealed and turned around and kissed him with a goodbye they left. Lin shook his head and left the shopping centre himself.

Three days later Lin was listening to Mai who was telling him the presents she got. "They are just little things but they mean a whole lot more to me." Mai smiled. "They are priceless." Lin said with a smile.

Mai smiled back and said "That's right."

Lin stared at her for a moment and then said as he looked at their empty plates. "Are you ready to go home? I have something else planned at home." Mai nodded and placed her napkin on the table. Lin payed the bill and they went home.

There were candles everywhere around the living room. "What is going on?" Mai asked with a smile. "We are going to watch your favourite movies. Just the two of us. All night long." Lin replied.

"Mai squealed and clapped her hands. "Popcorn?" Lin asked. "Please."

"Pick a movie, while I get the popcorn." Lin said as he made the popcorn and got some soft drinks and placed them on the coffee table. Mai picked a comedy movie and sat down Lin sat down and pulled her in to his arms. Mai snuggled in to his chest. Half way through the movie Mai whispered. "You know, I enjoyed the birthday lunch with the gang and dinner with you… But I like this part of my birthday the most…"

Lin smiled and kissed her on her forehead. "I'm glad."

"This is what couples do." Mai pointed out. "What about married couples?" Lin asked looking down at her.

"And Married couples." She replied. "Well, do they do this as well?" Lin whispered and he gently took her chin in between his thumb and index finger and lowered his head and claimed her lips with his gently. When he finally pulled away Mai said, "Yes, they do that to." Lin grinned and kissed her again. Mai responded to the kiss and Lin pulled her closer to him, he picked up her legs with one arm and rested them on his lap.

He then gently pushed her down on to the sofa with him on top. The movie was forgotten…

Lin didn't push Mai in to things she wasn't ready for. He would be lying if he said that he could wait until she was ready, but in truth it was killing him. His desire for his wife is like the sun really, big and hot… Little by little she lets him explore her body… Just her neck and thighs… His hands would wonder under her shirt and run up and down her back. Mai's hands went under his shirt and up his stomach to his shoulders. He has a six pack, she discovered. He must work out… She gathered.

Naru rolled on to his back panting. Madoka grinned and rolled on top of him. Her chin rested against his chest. "One more year until Mai really makes her final decision about her marriage with Lin." Naru said as he ran his hands down her back. "Yeah, I hope they stay together. They are perfect together."

"Maybe she will get pregnant…" Naru suggested. Madoka raised her head and looked down at him in shock. "No, she won't. Not yet anyway." Madoka said. "And why not? It is clear that Lin wants Mai… You can see how he looks at her when no one is looking at him. I don't think he can hold it together for another year." Naru said.

"But Lin is a man of his word. If he said that he won't push her in to anything she is not ready for, then he won't." Madoka stated. Naru sighed. She is right of course. Lin makes good of his word. He is a good man. "He is a good man." Naru repeated the thought.

"That he is."

The next morning it was pouring down with rain. Luckily it was Lin's day off and Mai's so they decided to stay in bed. "Remind me to get a TV in here." Lin said to Mai when he came back in to the bedroom with two hot cups of coffee.

"I like watching movies on your laptop, I can snuggle up to you." Mai said with a grin. Lin chuckled and got back under the blankets. He nuzzled her neck. "You can snuggle up to me anytime…" He whispered huskily in her ear. Mai blushed a bright red.

No wonder Naru loved to tease Mai… She is cute when she is embarrassed. Lin thought as he watched Mai pick up her book and began to read.

"WHAT?" Naru screamed in to his phone. "Your mother and I are coming to see you, Lin and Madoka." Naru's father Martin Davis repeated what he just said.

"Yeah, I heard you the first time father… But why?" Naru said.

"To see you, Lin and Madoka, and see the Japanese branch and their employers…" Martin replied.

"When are you coming?" Naru asked. "We will land tomorrow morning…" Martin paused for a moment and then continued in a whisper, "It wasn't my idea. It was your mother's idea."

Naru sighed in annoyance, "of course it was." He said.

"She wouldn't stop hassling me until I finally agreed. I tried to make next week but it turns out she planned it two weeks ago and didn't tell me. She wants to surprise you, but I thought I'd ring and warn you…"

"Thank you father, for the warning. What time does your flight land?" Naru asked. "Midday."

"I'll be there to pick you up. It will show mother not to try and surprise me." Naru growled out the last part. "Father you know I love you and mother, but she can be well, you know…"

"I know son." Martin replied.

"See you tomorrow." Naru said.

"Tomorrow." Martin replied and they hung up. Naru collapsed on the sofa. "What is it Noll?" Madoka asked when he saw the expression on his face. "Mother and Father are coming tomorrow for a visit. Father rang me and warned me that mother planned it two weeks ago…" Naru went on telling her.

"We better warn Lin and Mai." Madoka said when he finished. "Yes, we better." Naru said getting up. He went over to Lin and Mai's apartment door and knocked. Lin answered it. "Come in. Mai is cooking breakfast." Lin invited Naru and Madoka in.

"Naru, Madoka, Take a seat. Tea?" Mai said when she saw them coming in. "Yes please." Naru replied. "Please." Madoka replied.

"What is it Noll? You look shell shocked." Lin observed.

"Mother persuaded father to come and visit… She wanted to surprise me but Father just rang and gave me a warning. She hassled him until he finally gave in." Naru explained. Lin nodded.

"Where are they staying?" Lin asked.

"Well, I don't have enough room…"

"They can stay in the spare room here." Lin got what Naru was hinting.

"They will probably be in the office most of their visit." Naru said. "It's fine Noll." Mai said with a smile.

Naru and Madoka were waiting at the airport for his parents. "Noll, what are you doing here?" His mother's voice came from nowhere. "You think you can sneak up on me?" Naru growled. "You know I don't like surprises." He added.

Luella turned to her husband. "You told him." She accused him. "I did, I had to. We couldn't just show up on his doorstep." Martin admitted. "I suppose not." Luella sighed. Naru went up to his mother and gave her a hug. "It is good to see you."

Naru drove back to his apartment building. "Mother and Father, I don't have enough room in my apartment…" Naru said as they stopped at a red light. "Don't worry son, we will stay at a hotel." Martin said.

"No, I can't let you do that. No, Lin said you can stay in his apartment with him and his wife." Naru said and the red light turned green again he continued on.

"Tell me about Lin's wife." Luella asked.

"Her name is Mai, and she is an investigator…" Madoka told her about Mai.

"I can't wait to meet her." Luella said when Madoka finished. "Me too." Martin admitted.

"But Noll, why didn't you come to me and your mother about Mai's situation?" Martin asked his son.

"There wasn't enough time, and she had a stalker. Lin did what he thought was the best."

They reached the apartment building and Martin and Naru carried the bags. Lin answered the door. "Dr Davis, Mrs Davis, welcome, please come in. Mai is in the kitchen making tea." He took the bags and put them in the spare room.

Mai came out of the kitchen with six cups of tea. "Hi, my name is Mai Lin." Mai said with a friendly smile. Lin smiled when he heard Mai introduce herself with his last name.

Mai talked with Martin and Luella all day. She talked to Martin about her abilities. She wasn't sure if she bring up Gene. She glanced at Naru and Lin in question. Naru nodded. "Mother, Father, Gene has been Mai's spirit guide since the day we met her…" Naru said in a gentle voice.

Luella chocked up, and Martin looked at Naru unsure what to say or what to think then he looked at Lin who nodded. Mai had tears in her eyes. Lin walked over to her and wrapped her up in her arms.

"I asked him why he hadn't moved on once and he smiled and said, "I don't know." I don't know if he actually doesn't know or he just doesn't want to tell me." Mai whispered. "I think he wants to help Naru." Madoka said.

"I do to." Lin nodded.

Luella and Martin still didn't speak. "Let me see if he comes…" Mai whispered and she went in to a sleep. "Can she just fall asleep?" Martin managed to ask.

Naru nodded. "Mai's dreams are helpful with cases a lot of the time." He replied.

Mai's dream…

"Gene?" Mai called out. "Hello Mai." Came a voice behind her. Mai swung around. "Gene, your parents are here with me… Is there something you want me to tell them?" Mai got straight to the point.

"That is why I'm here." Gene replied with a smile.

"What is it?" Mai asked.

"Tell them, that I love them and I'll see them again when it's their time, which won't be for a very long time." Gene said with a smile. And then he gave her a hug. "And give them a hug for me." With that he said he disappeared and Mai woke up.

End of dream…

Mai woke up and repeated what Gene said. Luella had tears in her eyes, Mai gave her a hug and whispered so only Luella could hear. "He said to give you a hug." Luella clung to Mai and after a minute she let her go and Mai went over to Martin. "He said to you both a hug." Martin pulled her in to his arms.

"He will see you again." Mai said. "When it's our time?" Naru asked. Mai turned to him and replied, "When it's our time… That is one of the reasons I'm not afraid to die. My family is waiting for me and family members I haven't met." Mai sat back down in her seat.

Lin smiled and leaned forward and kissed the side of her head. "You are amazing." He whispered in her hair.

Naru grinned at his friend. Koujo Lin is in love…

I'm sorry for not updating and I'm sorry if it's too boring.
