" " words ' ' thoughts

"Is anybody home?" A hip woman in her 70's knocks on Sakuragi and Rukawa's door holding her bag close to her and adjusts her sunglasses. Since nobody's answering, the woman just opened the door and ushered herself inside.

"Kaede? Where are you?" the woman hollered through the house.

Haruko that is in the living room at that time heard the shout and saw a woman walks right past her.

"Um, excuse me. Who are you? Who do you want to see?" Haruko asked the woman but seems to be that she did not notice Haruko at all.

Going to the direction of the kitchen he called out for Rukawa. "Kaede?"

"Excuse me, mis-" Haruko asked while trying to catch up with the woman. 'This old woman sure moves fast!'

Rukawa walks out to the living room when he heard the familiar voice of his grandmother and there he saw his grandma approaching him. His smile broadens as he greets his grandma, "Mamsy! What brings you here?"

Rukawa's grandmother smiled at her grandson when she hears the nickname she taught Rukawa to call her when he was still a kid. She doesn't want him to call her "grandma" because she feels like she is old and that is the last thing she wants to feel.

"Kaede! I've been calling you for a few minutes now! Where were you?" Mamsy asked.

"I was in the kitchen preparing lunch, of course!" Rukawa countered as he gives her Mamsy a hug.

"That's my boy! You don't want Hanamichi to go starving right? By the way where is your husband?" Mamsy inquired while winking at Rukawa.

Rukawa giggling answered. "He's in the shower Mamsy."

Mamsy's attention was converted to the garden as she sees beautiful flowers and various orchids are in bloom, it is just so beautiful. She walks to the garden and admired the arrangement of the place.

"Wow! You're garden has really improved Kaede. What happened? I don't remember you having a green thumb?"

"Do you like it?" Rukawa smirked as his Mamsy just giggled.

As if sensing her cue to appear Haruko steps in the garden and giggled because she got fond of watching the antics of Rukawa and his grandmother.

Mamsy looks at Haruko. "Who is this? She's so beautiful."

"Thank you," Haruko said bashfully.

"Too beautiful to be the maid. It's a pity," Mamsy said as she looks at Haruko nodding her head dejectedly.

"I take my 'thank you' back!" Haruko said looking hurt.

"Mamsy! That's not the maid!" Rukawa said as he rushed to his grandmother's side. "That's Haruko! She's responsible why we have such a beautiful garden now."

Mamsy looks at Rukawa then to Haruko and then to her stomach. "You hired a gardener that is pregnant?" She asked question marks floating around her head while Haruko pouted more.

"No, Mamsy." Rukawa said as he pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming. "Haruko lives here and that-" Rukawa said and points at Haruko's stomach. "-is Hanamichi's"

"The father is Hanamichi? Since when did you break up? And how come I do not know any of this?" She asks Rukawa hands on her hips and foot tapping the floor.

"I'll explain to you inside Mamsy." Rukawa said as he leads his grandmother inside the house.

After a while they were all seated in the living room Hanamichi already joining them. Sakuragi sits beside Rukawa while Haruko beside Mamsy bonding with each other.

"When this grandchild of mine grows up-" Mamsy is saying while she holds Haruko's stomach.

"Mamsy that's not your grandchild?! That's Kaede's and Haruko's child. You don't have anything to do with it." Rukawa said.

"No! This is my grandchild!" Mamsy stubbornly said.

"Yes, this is her grandchild ok?" Haruko announced.

"See?" Mamsy told Rukawa sticking her tongue out to him while Sakuragi nods in agreement and Rukawa pinched Sakuragi's nose seeing he was agreeing with his grandmother instead of him. It was just simple bickering between the two.

"As I was saying," Mamsy continued. "When my grandchild comes out, I'm gonna teach him/her a lot of things like acting, singing, dancing because I want him/her to be a star!"

"That's what you did to me when I was little. You even put me in a Christmas play!" Rukawa said.

"But you didn't partake in it because you refused to be St. Joseph! You wanted to play the part of Virgin Mary!" She recollected the past as she narrated it to Sakuragi and to Haruko who is now laughing because of the information she has just learned.

"Virgin Mary?!?! You wanted to be Virgin Mary?" Sakuragi was shocked by the news with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"Yes, I wanted to play that part. Is there a problem?" Rukawa asked Sakuragi coldly giving him the glare.

"No, no! It's just that I can't imagine it." Sakuragi trying to hold his laughter because he knows that look Rukawa is giving him now. "But I guess you'll make a very cute Virgin Mary baby." Sakuragi said as he pinches Rukawa's cheeks.

"Ouch!" Rukawa exclaimed. "I'll show you what's cute!" He said as he lunges himself to Sakuragi and tickles him.

"Don't they just look cute together?" Mamsy said to Haruko as she gives out a sigh. "They were meant to be together even though they're both males, I think they deserve to be together."

"How can you say that?" Haruko inquired as she smiles looking at the two bickering.

"You see, they already experienced a lot of things together. They always fight with one another but they manage to pull it through. You can see in their eyes their love for each other and their happiness. Being in love doesn't mean you have to have the right gender. If you feel what you're feeling is right whatever your gender is then that's love."

Haruko muses for a while what Mamsy just said and realizes that she is right. Just looking at the two they look so happy together. Haruko feels so happy for the two of them and sad at the same time wondering when is she gonna find the person that she will spend the rest of her life with.

Sensing they were being watched Rukawa stopped his actions and blushed when he saw Haruko and her grandmother looking at them both has a smile on their faces. Sakuragi stopped his actions and blushed too while both of them arranged their selves.

"So anybody up for lunch?" Rukawa asked as he stands up and headed for the kitchen.

"I am!" Sakuragi shouted as he follows Rukawa to the kitchen leaving the two behind who bursts into giggles when they were gone.

"Come on Haruko let's go eat."

"Ok."

"Pls. call me Mamsy and teach your child to call me the same." Mamsy said as she smiled at Haruko.

Haruko smiles broadly at Mamsy and follows the woman to the dining hall.

"So are you ready for your morning exercise?" Mamsy asks Haruko as she is dressed in her exercise outfit together with Haruko.

"Yup! I'm ready Mamsy!" Haruko exclaimed. "Hayaku Hanamichi, Kaede! Let's start exercising!"

"Why do we have to be part of this?" Rukawa said exasperated.

"Come on Kaede this will be fun!" Sakuragi said smiling at his koi.

"Fun?! I rather sleep than see Haruko exarcising and practice her breathing," Rukawa pouted.

"Now, now Kaede you will accompany us in doing this ok? At least you'll know something when the time you get someone pregnant!" Mamsy teased Rukawa.

"What?!" Both Sakuragi and Rukawa exclaimed.

"Stop it Mamsy," Haruko interjected. "Come on Kaede I would really appreciate it if you would come with us. This will be fun. Promise!"

"Oh, ok! How come i have a hard time saying to you these days?" Rukawa inquired seeming to be confused.

"Because you love me and you can't just take saying no to a beautiful pregnant woman and you have a golden heart." Haruko said while hugging Rukawa.

"Yeah, yeah. You don't have to say that you know. Come on Hana-kun let's get started so we can finish early." Rukawa commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Sakuragi said while giving his koi a salute.

"Come on, we're wasting time. First we have to do our stretchings, then brisk walk, go back here and practice Haruko's breathing exercises then we can all go to the doctor and have Haruko's weekly check-up." Mamsy narrated all their activities for the day.

"Do we have time to eat?" Sakuragi asked scratching his head while smiling.

"Of course Hanamichi. Actually I'm starving right now!" Haruko said.

"Good! then let's eat first. Wait here I'll prepare something for you guys." Rukawa said disappearing to the direction of the kitchen.
