It's been 3 months and still he hasn't tried to contact her. She knows that this time she will have to see him face to face. She again goes to his office. She ignores the stares from the front desk goes straight to the elevators. She quickly pushes the buttons for his floor. She inhales deeply as the doors close. The ride up seems like it takes an eternity. When the doors open she walks straight up to the receptionist and asks to see him. Of course, she is refused, as she expected, but this time she is prepared and will not give into her fears.
She asks when he will be in and says she will be back. She turns around and is faced with the one person she had hoped not to see, Itachi. The look of recognition is evident on his face. An eyebrow slightly raised at her. She squares her shoulder and greets him politely. She tells him she is there to see Sasuke, and what she must tell him is between them and them alone. He is about to say something when three men walk in behind him.
Sasuke stops when he sees her there in his office. In front of Itachi. No good can come of this he thinks. Why is she here of all places? He greets her by name, calmly standing next to his brother. She tells him she needs to speak with him, that it's important. Itachi is quick to remind him of a meeting starting in a few minutes.
She pulls something out of her purse and hands it to him. He is confused at first but quickly realizes that what he is looking at an ultrasound picture. He looks to her, questioning her, quick to point out that they used protection. She nods in agreement but stating it doesn't always work.
Itachi is quick to accuse her of lying, saying that that is the same story she told when she was in there a few years ago. All eyes are on her, she asks to talk with him in private. He leads her to his office, his brother follows. Not wanting his little brother to be taken in by whatever ruse this woman is trying for.
Before he can say anything to her she hands him a picture, of two smiling little boys hugging. Both with black hair and piercing green eyes. She tells him that the older one is Kenji, that she became pregnant with him during their last summer together. She says she wanted to tell him, but he wouldn't see her. She also recounts to him the time in the park when he had given a boy an ice cream. He remembers and can't believe he had been that close and had no idea.
She continues, the younger boy is Hiro, and that he was conceived during that one time in his car. She had tried to tell him. Even came down to this same office and had told his brother. At this he looks to Itachi, questioning. He nods and says that she was telling the truth, but he had thought that she was lying, that if she were telling the truth she would have been back, probably for money. She never returned so he never mentioned it to him.
He wasn't sure what he should feel. He was angry, at her and his brother. But he also understood why. He looks to her and asks what she wants to do. What she wants him to do. She tells him you can't change what is meant to be. They were meant to be, they both knew that, had told each other that time and time again. The way she saw it, even if they weren't together fate still had plans and together or not their children were still made. She tells him that she has everything covered, if he wants to be involved it's up to him. But if he isn't going to be in 100% than don't be in at all. She won't allow her babies to be hurt like that.
With that she leaves. He asks Itachi what he should do. They cancel their meeting and talk. He tells him everything. They make plans to tells their parents and seek their advice. He fears his father's reaction, of his mother's disappointment. He knows he could seek legal action for visitation, but he won't do that to her or them. She has been the only parent they have known, she gave them life and has been raising them. He wouldn't remove them from her care. He knows her love and wouldn't take away from them the one thing that he has always cherished most.
