Miki woke up the next day to have Tenshi tugging at her hair.

"Mommy did you have a good time with that nice man last night?" squealed Tenshi excitedly.

"Tenshi...Mommy is sleepy..." Miki moaned turning over.

"Come on mommy tell me!" Tenshi begged as she crawled on top of Miki and began bouncing up and down on top of her.

"All right! All right!" Miki mumbled as she sit up and rubbed her eyes. Tenshi just looked up at her with big brown eyes full of anticipation.

"I did have a nice time with Ginta, but we are just friends okay?" she said trying to explain to a three year old in the best way possible.

"Well you should go see him because he's downstairs!" laughed Tenshi as she hoped up and ran out of the room.

"Tenshi!" Miki called after her as she got up and ran after her.

"Ginta I-" she said becoming quiet embarrassed as she remembered how horrible the mornings made her look. Ginta looked rather handsome though as she noticed him dressed in uniform with a new morning clean shave.

"I'm sorry for barging in Miki, but I just had to see you and talk things over..." Ginta sighed.

"I see..." Miki said crossing her arms under her breast carelessly.

"If you don't ever want to talk to me again, then I understand...No hard feelings..." Ginta said as he headed for the door.

"Ginta wait!" Miki called after him.

Ginta slowly turned around to face Miki, "Yes?" he replied.

"Let me clean up and make you some coffee, and then we can talk...Will that be ok?" she offered.

"Yes that will be fine..." he said rather relievedly.

Tenshi watched Saturday morning cartoons while Ginta sat in the kitchen as he watched Miki intently brew his coffee.

"Do you like sugar or cream?" Miki asked.

"Yeah both will be fine." he smiled.

"Be careful it's hot." she warned him as she sit it down in front of him and then sat down herself.

"Thank you." he said smiling as he took a long sip of it and sighed.

"Is it okay?" Miki asked him.

"Yeah it's great." he said reassuring her.

"Good." she said smiling as she took a sip of her own and said nothing more.

"Miki I just wanted to apologize to you last night...I was way too forward with my feelings, so I want to make it up to you...I want us to start over and see where it takes us that is if you'll have me." he breathed.

"I'd like that." she said smiling.

"You would?" asked Ginta heart pounding.

"Very much..." she replied.

"Then where do we go from here?" she asked him.

"Why don't we start where we are right now? Tell me everything Miki...I want to know everything about you and your daughter. Tell me what I've missed..." he breathed.

"If I tell you everything, then you must tell me everything about you as well." she told him.

"Deal..." Ginta nodded.

She sighed as she looked at that man in front of her. She had never told anyone the whole story before, but it was only fair if they were going to be together that he know everything.

"Yuu and I got married after college...We were married for only two years before I got pregnant with Tenshi...He died a month before she was born...I have raised her all alone for the past three years, and I have not been with another man since Yuu died...I could never bring myself to do that to him..." she sighed.

"Miki don't get mad at me for saying this, but I think it's time you let yourself be happy again...Think of what's best for you and your daughter. Yuu would have wanted you both to be happy..." he told her.

"You're exactly right, but I don't know how to be happy..." Miki said as she cried into her hands.

"Shh...Shh..." Ginta said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm not going anywhere Miki...I want to be here for both of you..." he whispered softly into her ear as he let her cry and let herself cry, she did. On that day Miki started to let herself heal one piece at a time as she let Ginta hold her there in the security of his arms.
