a/n: thank you everyone who reviewed with ideas.
I will surely use them somehow.
Also thank you for sticking with me despite my lack of updates.
I have an inflamed tendon in my right hand and actually need to fully rest it so who knows when the next update might be.
If you have any questions, feel free to like my fb page and message me there.

Also feel free to check out my new story Secrets Long Ago and my older story Fragments of life of the UnohanaUkitake family (this one is co-written by Teal Eyed Dragon).


Many months after the very eventful party, things went its way again.
Of course there would always be nasty gossips and harshly whispered remarks as the Ukitake members appeared in public, but the kids had each other and their parents so what others thought did not matter to them.
Shunsui and Jyuushirou were planning college and their futures together with Saki and Retsu.
They all knew that they didn't want to go to some elite college so they were looking up online schools.

"Business management..." Saki pondered.
Her brother looked it up for her and nodded approving. "All things you excel at and you always wished to join dad's business so give it your best shot"
Retsu scrolled through various things on her tablet while rocking Nanao to sleep. "Holistic therapies..."
Jyuushirou took the tablet and started reading for her.
Retsu grew excited at each study he read out loud. "I will have a hard time choosing..."
Haruki passed by and kissed her head. "Just choose whatever you want and I'll pay for it, hana hime"
The darkhaired teen gave her foster dad a sweet smile and nodded grateful.
"And did my very ambitious second Miyu make up her mind?"
Saki smiled up to her father and handed him her tablet with all information.
"Doll, are you sure this is what you want?" The teenager nodded
"Well then I'll be happy to guide you" Haruki smiled.
"Bear, did you reach your decision?"
Shunsui shrugged. "Nothing really appeals to me..."
"Well you still have time, you don't need to do the entire skip"
The young teenager flopped down. "School's boring...all I really want is to protect my mum and the baby"
Haruki ruffled his curls. "I know, son"
Jyuushirou watched his best friend and cousin silently.
He knew Shunsui was very bright but got bored so easily and always landed into trouble which is why he and Retsu always tried to cover so he wouldn't get punished too much.
The older teen his hand slipped into Retsu's and felt the cool material of the promise ring.
His dad had only allowed that because they were only 15 and 17.
Looking at his girlfriend and 5 years old Nanao, his heart filled with so much love and warmth.
Retsu was not only gorgeous but also very caring, sweet and smart.
She adored her foster parents and was always a silent support for Haruki whenever he thought of his missing best friend.
He loved Nanao as if she were his own daughter and wanted nothing more than to adopt her.
Retsu made a fantastic mother despite her young age.
