Mel sat on the sofa holding Makoto who was holding Avery and sighed. She spoke to Makoto softly in her demonic tongue. "I truly do love you and I swear I'll never leave you again."
Makoto looked at Mel and smiled and spoke softly in the same demonic tongue. "Don't make promises you can't keep."
Mel smirked and spoke in her accent. "I've every intention of keeping it." Mel nipped the tip of Makoto's ear.
"We've had our share of close calls, I lost you three thimes…I don't want to lose you again." Makoto said resting her head on Mel's shoulder.
Mel smiled and looked down at her lover. "Angel I gave you my word that I'd never leave you and I meant it."
Haruka shook her head looking at the two. "I really don't know what to do with you two."
Makoto laughed. "You could hold her for a minute I really have to go to the restroom."
Haruka laughed. "I don't hold babies thats Michi's job. I'm afraid they'll break."
Mel chuckled. "You're not the only one Haru-chan."
Michiru walked over and took Avery from Makoto. "Arigotu Michiru-chan." Makoto ran off down the hall.
Mel went to stand up when Ivory took Makoto's spot in her lap. "What's up kiddo?"
Ivory simply leaned into her mother and rested her head on her chest and closed her eyes. "I love you mama." Ivory mumbled as she fell asleep.
Mel slowly and gently put her right arm around Ivory and whiped a tear from her eyes with her left and spoke to her daughter in her demonic tongue. "I love you too Ivory and I'm sorry I gave you up I just hope you can truely forgive me."
Makoto smiled softly looking at the scene on the sofa. She sat next to her demonic lover and cuddled up close and kissed her neck and spoke in the same demon tongue. "By the looks of it I'd say she does."
Mel smiled over at Makoto. "Thanks." Mel ran her fingers through Ivory's hair as she slept. Michiru sat down in a near by chair and smiled at the three on the sofa. "I better give you Avory back before I decide to keep her." Michiru giggled at the look from Haruka then handed the baby back to Makoto. Makoto stood and took the baby to her's and Mel's room and put her in the crib and walked back out by everyone and sat back down on the sofa and cuddled up to Mel as she held her daughter. Michiru smiled softly. "You know what Mel as long as we've seen you with your daughter this is the first time she's called you mom in front of us anyways."
Mel nodded slightly. "Yea she's told everyone at school I'm her older sister and I think she thought I told you the same thing."
After about an hour Ivory sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She looked back at Mel and smiled as Mel smiled back at her. "Sorry Mel didn't mean to doze off on you like that."
Mel chuckled. "Yes you did don't lie."
Ivory laughed. "You are such a brat."
"Yes you are but what does that have to do with me?" Mel chuckled. "Get to bed you have school in the morning."
Ivory nodded and hugged Makoto. "Oyasumi Mako-chan." Makoto hugged her back and told her good night. Ivory then hugged Mel. "Oyasumi okasa." Mel smiled softly and hugged Ivory back and told her good night.
Ivory went around the room saying good night to everyone and Mel chuckled. "Your stalling Ivory Marie."
Haruka laughed. "Damn the middle name comes out."
Ivory laughed. "Ok ok I'll go to bed." Ivory stuck her tongue out at Mel and waved good night to everyone and walked to her room.
Makoto sighed heavily and cuddled up to Mel. "Aishiteru."
Mel smiled. "I love you too angel."
Haruka laughed. "Marie huh?"
"Yea so?"
"Its cute is all." Haruka mussed Mel and Makoto's hair.
Makoto laughed. "What was that for? Why was I drug into this?"
Haruka chuckled. "Because you just happened to be snuggled up to Mel."
Michiru smiled. "So how are you feeling Mako-chan?"
Makoto smiled and wrapped her arms around Mel. "Alot better then I was nine months ago."
Mel kissed the top of Makoto's head softly. "You were way to hard on yourself about that."
Makoto looked up at Mel and smiled softly. "No ai you were too leanient."
Mel dropped the spell that masked her accent. "Oi angel stop it now. Its fine I ment wha I said nine months ago."
Makoto smiled. "I know ai I know."
Avery walked out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa by Makoto. "Whats up?"
Makoto raised her left eyebrow. "Just wondering why your still up."
"Not tired."
"Avery..." Mel looked at the young girl and sighed. "Come here for a minute. Let me up angel." After Makoto let go Mel and Avery stood and walked outside. "Avery what's wrong?"
"Its my fault okasa feels so bad...had I not told her..."
"Avery stop if anyone should feel guilty its me had I not died...had I just left her alone that day you and her wouldn't be half demon..."
Avery chuckled. "You know Mako-chan would have hit us both by now and said summin stupid to cheer us up."
Mel smiled. "Ya know a close friend of mine, he was a killer ninja, would always call me boss. Even though spiritually we were evenly powerful, magick wise i was stronger but chi powers wise he was stronger. Yet I was Boss to him. Vinnie was the only guy I ever really trusted. But anyways he's dead now sorry to get way off topic." Mel pulled out a cigerette and lit it. "But don't beat yourself up kiddo me and Maks love ya I guess we love Ivory too." Mel chuckled. "So come on now cheer up. Trinity made it so that you and Ivory could be together in the future so you two have nothing to worry about ok so go get sum sleep you got school in the morning." Mel offered the girl a smile.
Avery hugged Mel tight. "Thanks Mel-chan I feel alot better now." Avery turned to go into the house and saw Makoto standing there and hugged her tight. "Oyasumi nasai okasa."
Makoto smiled and hugged Avery back. "Night little one." After Avery was in the house Makoto walked over to Mel and kissed her tenderly. "You almost speak of him like you loved him."
"I did angel. He was like my little brother. He whipped Jay's ass after what he did to me. Vinnie ment alot to me." Mel looked at Makoto and kissed her deeply. "You mean the world to me angel and always will. Vinnie will always have a place in my heart. Jay shot him and well yea...The bullet was ment for me and he stepped infront of me..." Mel trailed off as Makoto caressed her cheek.
"Ai..."
Mel put her fingers to Makoto's lips. "Lets just go to bed angel."
