THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT EVERYONE, YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!
CHAPTER 11
2 weeks had passed, Mei and the kids visited Yuzu everyday and after waiting for what seemed like forever, Yuzu was finally getting discharged. The week had been long and she noticed that Mei seemed to have distanced herself a lot from her but she just guessed it was because of all the stress from being in charge of the Academy, looking after the kids and worrying about her in hospital.
Mei was on her way to pick Yuzu up, the kids all wanted to throw her a welcome back party so they were at home with Harumin, Matsuri, Ume, Sho and Himeko.
Mei was hurt when she heard Yuzu say Asuna's name in her sleep but she tried to not let it bother her, she knew that Yuzu was still in a bit of shock and knew it would take some adjusting.
After visiting Yuzu, Mei would see Doctor Heshi about anything she could do to help trigger Yuzu's memories. Unfortunately his answer was always the same 'show her photos, take her to meaningful places and be patient'
She opened the door to Yuzu's room and was met with bright green eyes and a wide smile, for a second all of Mei's worries seem to have melted away.
She looked like the same Yuzu Mei has been married to for the last 7 years.
Mei's smile faded as she looked down to Yuzu's left ring finger and saw that she wasn't wearing her ring.
"Mei you o.k?"
She looked up to see a concerned look on her wives face.
Even though Yuzu had lost her memories of the last 14 years, she still was able to read Mei like a book. She looked down at her hand and instantly knew why Mei's smile disappeared.
"Ahhh sorry Mei, its just I feel like I should wear it when I get my memories back, it would feel a bit strange for me to wear it the way i am right now" Yuzu grabbed the chain necklace that still had the 3 rings dangling on it and placed it around her neck.
Mei could feel the tears coming but she couldn't let Yuzu see her break down, she had to be strong for the whole family.
"O.k" Was all that Mei was barely able to let escape her mouth as she approached the side of the bed.
She lent down and kissed Yuzu on the forehead.
She had attempted to kiss her on the lips the day the breathing machine and mask were no longer needed, Yuzu didn't push her away but Mei couldn't feel any feelings from Yuzu's side.
The thought of Yuzu not in love with her anymore was slowly crushing her heart. She didn't want to pressure Yuzu, so she settled for kissing her on the forehead instead. She wanted to make sure that Yuzu knew exactly how much she loves her and what she means to her.
She knew that when Yuzu was ready she would know.
There was an awkward silence between the 2 until Doctor Heshi came through the door.
"O.k Yuzu, are you ready?"
Yuzu gave the doctor her biggest smile as she spoke "You bet I am Doc"
Heshi nodded as he walked over to the pair with a large bag, he handed it to Mei as well as some papers.
"O.k this is all the medication Yuzu is going to need over the next few weeks. All the instructions are in these papers"
Mei nodded as she placed the large bag in the back compartment of Yuzu's wheel chair.
"She will need weekly check ups, but if there is any pain you must come see me straight away or I can come to your house if thats easier"
Yuzu gave a thumbs up as she seemed to just be super excited about leaving.
Heshi took in a small breath as he looked to Yuzu "Now I know that you have been told you can be a little mobile on your own but don't push it ok? Don't be afraid to use the wheel chair if you need"
Heshi then looked down to Yuzu's Leg and up to her arm.
"This new reconstructive technology is still in the testing stages, and your arm was already in better shape than your leg so that is why you have a little bit of function with it now"
Yuzu started to wave her arm in the air "Dont worry Doc, i'll take it easy"
Mei bowed to the Doctor as she spoke "Thank you for everything Doctor Heshi, I will make sure she has the best care"
Heshi put his hand on Mei's shoulder causing her to look up at him as he spoke to her.
"Theres no need for that, I'm just doing my job"
His expression then turned to a serious one that caused Yuzu to sit up straight as she listened to the Doctor.
"Now i'm not going to lie ladies. The really hard part starts now. But I must say…"
Heshi then looked at Mei then to Yuzu as he continued to speak "If anyone can make it through this, I know you 2 can….." He then paused for a moment as he looked out the window at 2 birds sitting on a branch.
After a few moments he spoke again "You 2 really do love each other"
Heshi immediately looked to Mei and saw the confusion on her face, from all she knew she acted like any wife would in that situation.
The nurse then walked in to change Yuzu's dressings before she left.
"Mei there are a few papers I need you to sign, could you come with me for a minute?"
Mei followed Heshi and signed the papers he mentioned.
Just as she was going to return to Yuzu he tapped her shoulder making her turn around to face him.
"Dont give up Mei"
Mei was shocked at his words as she just stared at him. He gave her a smile as he spoke again.
"I'll tell you something Mei, the gas we used to subside Yuzu when she was first admitted here is extremely strong. About 8 times as strong as normal knock out gas. But because of the amount of pain she was in we had to calm her as fast as possible"
Mei continued to stand there with a blank expression on her face as she waited for the Doctor to continue.
"As expected she went under within seconds and should have been completely out, almost dead like. Unlike other gases, where the patient is known to twitch or mumble a little"
Heshi then looked towards Yuzu's room then back to Mei.
"But you were all that was on her mind. She continued to say your name and that she loves you"
Meis eyes widened and she could feel her eyes starting to burn.
He gave Mei a caring smile as he continued "I've been doing this job for over 20 years and i have never heard of anyone being able to talk under that gas. That just proves to me how much love you have for each other"
Mei couldn't hold it in anymore as the tears were falling now, Heshi comforted Mei until she was able to recompose herself.
"Mei?"
She quickly wiped her tears away as she turned to see Yuzu ready to go in the wheel chair.
She thanked Doctor Heshi once more before her and Yuzu left.
Yuzu took in the scenery outside as they drove through the city.
After Mei made a few turns, Yuzu realised she didn't even know where they were going.
Speaking in a nervous tone Yuzu turned to Mei "M…..Mei I thought we were going home?"
Keeping her eyes on the road, Mei answered her wife in a soft and caring tone "We are Yuzu"
She quickly side glanced over to Yuzu and saw the look of confusion on her face.
"We live in our own house now"
"Of course, sorry Mei" Yuzu placed her head down.
"You dont need to be sorry Yuzu" Mei reached out and gently placed her hand on top go Yuzu's.
A small smile grew on her face when she didn't feel Yuzu pull away.
"You can ask anything you like" Mei then intertwined their fingers as she kept her attention on the road.
The rest of the drive was in a comfortable silence, Mei and Yuzu both would steal side glances of each other which would only make the other one smile.
Yuzu looked at the beautiful trees as they turned down the street 'Isn't this like the super rich area?' She thought to herself as she looked at all the big mansions on either side of the road.
Mei then turned the SUV into a drive with a very large gate.
Yuzu's eyes widened as she followed the driveway that lead to a massive house at the end. She turned to Mei who was busy entering a code on the gate pad.
As the gate started to slide open, Yuzu spoke "Is this one of Gramps houses or something Mei?"
Mei gave Yuzu's hand a light squeeze as she spoke "No Yuzu this is our home"
She paused for a moment as she turned to her wife and they locked eyes
"You brought this for us"
Yuzu's mouth dropped as she was trying to process exactly what Mei just said to her.
The last thing she remembered was that she was in between jobs at the moment. Then she wakes up to this whole other life, a life that she thought she could only dream of having with Mei.
"What! Really? What exactly is it I do for work?"
Mei gave a small sigh as she spoke "You are the Directing Manager of the largest Fashion Label in the Country. You worked vigorously for years to get where you are today Yuzu. You should be very proud of yourself"
She looked over to Yuzu who held Mei's gaze in her own as Mei continued to speak.
"I know everyone else is proud, especially us"
She was lost for words as the SUV came to a stop and Mei turned the engine off.
She gracefully exited and went to the other side to open Yuzu's door.
As they made their way to the front door, Yuzu heard Mei take in a long breath.
She turned to her, looking at Mei more closely, Yuzu could see that she had matured but her beauty was still second to none. 14 Years and giving birth to twins didn't seem to slow Mei down at all. But if there was one thing that Yuzu knew she could see change in was her eyes. The way that Mei looks at her, she knows for certain what she feels for Yuzu and Yuzu could feel that from the raven haired woman standing next to her.
"Yuzu?"
She blinked a couple of times as she came back to reality. After Mei saw that she had her wives attention she continued to speak.
"Please let me know if anything gets too much for you in there. I know all of this is a lot to take in and I already told everyone that you may be tired"
Mei felt her heart skip a beat as Yuzu placed her hand on her shoulder and gave her a wide smile.
"Dont worry Mei, ill be fine"
They entered the house to fine everyone cheering and decorations everywhere.
"Welcome back Yuzu" they all cheered
Yuzu thanked everyone for their efforts as she slowly made her way inside.
Everyone was making a fuss but Yuzu kept brushing them off and saying she was fine.
After an hour everything started to die down, everyone was surprised at how much the blonde woman was eating.
"Yuzu you need to slow down" Ume growled her daughter as she went for her 3rd plate.
"Yeah Yuzucchi, are you even chewing?" Harumin gave her friend a cheeky grin.
"Have you ever had to eat Hospital food for 2 weeks straight?" Yuzu looked around the room as she placed some more food on her plate.
"I just missed your cooking so much Mama" Yuzu then took a bite.
Everyone laughed at the sight of the blonde stuffing her face.
"We cooked it Mama"
Yuzu turned her head to the 3 children as they had finished quite some time ago and all now sat next to their Mama as they didn't want to leave her side.
"Really? Wow you guys did a great job" Yuzu flashed a smile which caused all the kids to smile back at her.
But the next sentence that left the blondes mouth turned the whole atmosphere upside-down.
"Who taught you 3 to cook so good?"
Yuzu watched as the smiles on the kids faces faded, she then turned her head to the adults who were all giving her a sad, concerned look.
"Did I say something wrong?" She said as she swallowed the last bit of food in her mouth.
She waited for an answer from someone, when a small voice spoke causing her to look back at the children.
"You did Mama"
As she looked at the kids she could see the amount of hurt in their eyes, Lily already had tears falling, Ume ran over to Mei and buried her face in her lap while Hiro just stood there with a straight expression.
She tried to brush it off as she spoke softly.
"Of course I did"
Seeing everyone giving her those sorry expressions was starting to frustrate her. She excused herself as she slowly got up and went to walk into another room.
"Yuzu-onee where are you going?"
Without turning back she answered her pink haired friend.
"I just wanna stretch my leg a bit, sitting for to long you know"
Yuzu opened the sliding door that connected to the outside verandah, as she went to close it she heard one last thing which made her heart ache.
"Mommy, why doesn't Mama want to remember us?"
She quickly closed the door and made her way to the double seat chair near the railing.
Yuzu let out a loud sigh as she sat down. She closed her eyes for a minute breathing in the fresh air and she listened to birds chirping on a near by tree.
Slowly opening her eyes she took in the sight around her, the verandah was huge and looked like it wrapped right around the house. In one corner there is a BBQ with a outside entertainment set with a 12 seater table and chairs. A outside bar and a few extra sofas for more space for people to sit.
The yard was just as big as the outside was surrounded by large trees of all sorts, Yuzu noticed the Lily flowers in with other flowers.
There is a clear foot path that lead to a playground which would accommodate more than 6 kids easily.
Then the pool which has its own slide and waterfall.
She sat out there for a while as she slowly felt herself calming down.
One by one everyone slowly left.
Yuzu didn't see the kids again during the day, Mei had attempted to get Yuzu to come inside a few times and show her around the house, but each time she just brushed it off and said she would be in soon.
"Yuzu"
Yuzu jolted up "Ahhhh!" She quickly clutched her right side as she felt pain shoot straight through her.
"Are you o.k?"
Yuzu blinked a few times then wiped her eyes with her hands as she tried to get her bearings.
"Mei?"
"You fell asleep out here Yuzu"
As she looked out she could see the same foot path with lights to help lead the way. She then looked up at the sky and saw how clear it was and full of stars.
She felt a hand on her cheek and turned her focus on the person. She felt frozen as she stared into those captivating purple orbs that could see straight through her.
Yuzu found herself wandering what Mei was thinking at this very moment, and before she knew it those exact words had left her mouth.
"Mei what are you thinking right at this very moment?"
Mei held the gaze, unfazed by the question she answered immediately "I'm thinking how very lucky I am to have you as my wife"
Yuzu felt the blush on her face as Meis eyes were always able to hold her right where she was, it was as if time stood still.
After a few moments it hit Yuzu, this isn't her life, as much as she wanted it to be, it wasn't. She spoke in a soft whisper but Mei heard every word "I'm not your wife Mei"
Mei held her gaze as she spoke back, trying to keep her voice from breaking.
"What do you mean Yuzu, we-"
Yuzu pulled away which made Mei's heart ache.
She turned her head to avoid eye contact with the raven haired woman.
"I mean, I know that we are married but…" She pulled the necklace out from around her neck and looked intensely at the rings hanging from it as she continued.
"But, its just that i dont remember any of this" She moved her arm from left to right, gesturing to the House and outside area.
Mei was trying to keep any emotions from showing on the outside but on the inside she felt like she was slowly dying.
"Its o.k Yuzu, you will remember and-"
Yuzu cut her off again, her voice more stern this time.
"When Mei? Tomorrow? Next Week? 5 years from now?"
Mei spoke clearly as she looked out to the back yard "Does that really matter Yuzu?"
Yuzu turned her head to look at Mei who was still looking out to the scenery around them.
"What do you mean does it matter. Of course it matters Mei"
Mei looked at Yuzu and grabbed one of her hands and placed it over her heart as she spoke softly to her lover.
"My heart beats only for you, no one else"
Yuzu's eyes went wide as she spoke "Thats beautiful Mei"
Mei lifted Yuzu's hand and kissed the inside of her palm before she spoke.
"Those are your words you said to me not long after we got married"
Yuzu felt something wet running down her cheeks, after a few seconds she realised that she was crying.
"Why are you crying?" Mei gently wiped Yuzu's tears away with her thumb, she felt her heart stop as Yuzu looked at her with her bright emerald eyes.
Her eyes always spoke so much honesty when Mei would look into them and right now she could say that Yuzu was telling her she loved her.
"I'm not sure Mei, its just…."
Yuzu gripped her shirt over where her heart is as more tears were falling.
"It hurts so much"
Yuzu was feeling so many emotions running through her and crashing together.
One part of her was so happy that she was together with Mei and that they had built a family together and had their own home. In her eyes this life was perfect, everyone had accepted them, she has a great job and she has a loving family. She had always dreamed of having a life like this with Mei.
But on the other side she felt like a absolute stranger in this place. Even though she knew it was her life up till now, she didn't feel like she could have it. Yuzu closed her eyes tight as thoughts started to race through her mind.
'How hard did i have to work for all this? Mei, the kids, my job. What exactly did I have to endure to get to this point?'
She opened her eyes and looked up to the sky, the sight was really beautiful from where they were sitting.
'Asuna, what happened with us? I thought we were happy? How did Mei come back into my life?'
So many questions were coming to her, each and every question Yuzu knew that she didn't have the answers. Could she live this life knowing that she already missed out on half of it?
What kind of person was she now?
"Babe"
Yuzu blushed as she heard Mei, she never thought Mei would use those kind of couple nicknames.
She lowered her head and looked into the vibrant violet eyes that she knew belonged to her first love.
Mei could see the inner turmoil Yuzu was having and it was breaking her heart. She wanted to help Yuzu in anyway she could, she would be anything and do anything for the woman she loved.
"I dont know how to help you Yuzu. But whatever you need just say and I will try my best to do it for you. Even if you dont get your memories back, we will just make new ones"
Mei flashed her wedding finger to Yuzu, her Ring shining bright in the Moonlight "We do have the rest of our lives"
Yuzu felt her heart beat faster as she looked at Mei smile at her. She always thought that the raven haired girl was her most beautiful when she was happy.
Fear slowly started to make its way into Yuzu's mind. What if she wasn't as good as the Yuzu she used to be? Would Mei still want to be with her?
And the kids, she knew that they were all hurt because of her today, she couldn't stand to hurt any of them again.
Yuzu tried to keep her voice clear "Mei do you think that we will make it through this?"
Mei could see that Yuzu had a lot she wanted to say, she sat there quietly as she waited for Yuzu to continue.
"I mean what if im not like the Yuzu you fell in love with and married? and what if im not the Mama the kids had and-"
Yuzu jumped a little as Mei cut in with her Chairwoman tone in her voice.
"Dont"
Mei took in a long breath as she re-composed herself and spoke much softer this time.
"Please dont ever think like that again Yuzu"
Mei cupped Yuzus face as she looked into those bright emerald orbs.
"I will always love you, no matter what. You are you and losing your memories isn't going to change that."
Yuzu then cupped Meis face which she melted into straight away, it had been weeks since she had Yuzu's touch, her body was dying for more but Mei knew that Yuzu needed time.
"You are an amazing Mama to our kids, just be you. They will always love you too"
Just like magnets their faces started to move closer together.
Only centimetres apart now and…
"Mommy, Mama I had a bad dream"
Ume walked around the chair holding a large teddy bear with her as she attempted to wipe her tears away.
Mei immediately picked her up and kissed the top of her head lovingly.
"Do you want to sleep with Mommy and Mama tonight?" Mei whispered into the little girls ear.
Quickly nodding back to her mothers she then laid her head on Meis shoulder as she was rocked back and forth.
Yuzu smiled at the sight. Seeing Mei as a mother still surprised her, she always knew that Mei was a sensitive and caring person underneath all that heavy emotional armour that she put up as a defence wall.
But looking at Mei now, Yuzu could see how open she was and calm. She was brought out of her thinking as Mei stood up, still holding a now sleeping Ume. Mei gave Yuzu a look which she knew what she wanted straight away.
"I'll come in soon Mei"
Mei gave a simple nod as she went to go inside.
Yuzu looked up as a small hand grabbed the top of her shirt "Mama can you come to bed to?"
Yuzu looked at the little girl who was struggling to keep her eyes open at this very second.
Without a second thought Yuzu answered "Of course darling, if thats what you want"
Ume gave Yuzu a smile and she felt her heart melt straight away.
The 3 made there way inside, Mei was directing Yuzu where to go as all the lights were off, the only light was coming from the full moon outside.
Yuzu opened the door, her eyes widened at the huge master bedroom. The bed must have been a double king size, it looked like it could sleep 4 people comfortably. She pulled the blankets back for Mei as she laid their daughter down in the bed.
After making sure that Ume was comfortable Mei started to get changed into her pyjamas.
"Do you want help Yuzu?" Mei just finished putting her top on.
Yuzu just gave a nod as Mei was already grabbing some clothes out of the draw and walking over to her.
Slowly getting changed, Yuzu whispered to Mei as she didn't want to wake Ume.
"Thats a really big bed"
The moon lit the room just on time for Yuzu to see a smile on Meis face as she answered her.
"You travel a lot, so you got this huge bed because the kids like to sleep with me when your not here"
Mei giggled a little, she could see that Yuzu was wandering why she had just laughed, so before she asked. Mei spoke again "Sometimes even when you are here too"
Yuzu looked over at the bed with the small bump that was going up and down every few seconds, showing that Ume was having a more comfortable sleep now.
They made their way to the bed, Mei helped Yuzu to get comfortable, she went to climb over the blonde when Yuzu grabbed her hand.
Yuzu blushed as she spoke nervously to her wife "Mei, do we still do our one kiss-"
Mei didn't need to wait for Yuzu to finish, her body moved on its own as she pressed her lips onto the blonde woman.
To Meis surprise Yuzu deepened the kiss. She could feel how nervous she was and it only just made her smile as she instantly gave Yuzu access and their tongues started fighting for dominance.
Mei easily won, she pulled back reluctantly. Quickly taking a breath Mei went to lean in again to capture those soft delicious lips
-cough cough-
Yuzu covered her mouth as she continued to cough, she tried to be silent as she didn't want to wake Ume.
Mei quickly ran to get some tissues and water. When she returned to Yuzu's side she noticed how she was still struggling to catch her breath.
She looked down at the blondes hand that she was using to cover her mouth moments before.
Mei nearly dropped the glass of water as she saw spots of blood in the palm of Yuzu's hand.
Yuzu quickly grabbed the tissues to clean her hand. Looking at Mei she could see the worried expression written all over her face.
"Yuzu"
Yuzu shook her head as she spoke in between breaths.
"it o.k…Mei…..i just…got a little…to….excited"
Mei knew Yuzu was just trying to brush it off as nothing serious.
She watched as Yuzu drank the glass of water and her breathing seemed to be calming down. After a few more minutes Yuzu spoke again "Arent you gonna get in bed?"
Mei gave Yuzu a scolding look as she looked at the dirty tissues in the bin then back at Yuzu.
But before she could say anything Yuzu spoke again.
"Its been a really big day Mei, I promise if I still feel any pain in the morning I will call Doctor Heshi"
Mei let out a sigh of defeat as she lent down and kissed Yuzu on the forehead and then the cheek.
She climbed over Yuzu and quickly checked on Ume on her left and then turned back to Yuzu who was laying on her back looking at the ceiling.
Out of habit Mei moved closer to her wife and hugged her waist as she placed her arm around her and nuzzled her face into Yuzu's left side.
"I would be lost without you Yuzu"
Mei felt Yuzu's entire body go stiff for a second, but a calm presence soon came over both women as Yuzu placed her right hand on top of Meis arm.
Then lifting her left arm, Yuzu let Mei get even closer as the raven haired woman placed her head on Yuzu's chest.
It didn't take long for the 2 to drift off into a peaceful sleep.
Yuzu slowly woke up, for some reason her whole body felt really heavy. She opened her eyes and blinked a couple of times trying to get her bearings.
The scene she saw around her made the widest grin grow on her face.
Looking down to her left, Mei was clung to Yuzu in the same position they fell asleep in, Ume had her head on Meis back as she cuddled her teddy.
Yuzu looked to her left arm, Hiro had his head laying on it and was sleeping like a starfish.
She Trailed her eyes down to the bottom of the bed to see Lily clung to her left leg and snoring loudly.
She didn't want to move and risk any of them waking up, Mei stirred a little in her sleep. Yuzu could see her face clearly, a tear ran down her cheeks as she saw that Meis cheeks were tear stained.
'Did she cry last night?'
Using her free arm, Yuzu brushed a few strands of hair out of Meis face, a smile automatically came on Meis face as Yuzu touched her.
Yuzu felt her heart melt as she looked at her beautiful wife.
She just laid there taking in every detail of Mei's face, her long lashes, soft pink lips, beautiful pale complexion was so captivating to Yuzu.
"How long do you plan on staring at me for Yuzu?"
Yuzu's whole body jolted causing all the kids to stir a bit in their sleep.
A teasing smile came on Meis face as she fluttered her eyes open and looked up to Yuzu.
"M….Mei you are awake"
She lent up and kissed Yuzu lightly on the lips before she spoke.
"I've been awake for about an hour now"
"What? Why didn't you say anything before?" Yuzu tried to sound annoyed but the smile that Mei was giving her was making it pretty much impossible.
"You seemed like you were enjoying the moment on your own" Mei turned her head towards the children then back to Yuzu.
After looking at the clock Mei gently woke all the kids up to get ready for school.
Hiro was the easiest to wake as he was now sitting up on the bed. Ume was starting to blink her eyes open, Mei was now down the end of the bed trying to shake Lily a little to get her to wake up.
Yuzu giggled a little as she watched all 3 of them trying to wake up the little girl still holding on tightly to Yuzu's leg.
Mei let out a sigh of frustration as it seemed like she wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.
"come on lily, you are going to make everyone late" Mei used to Chairwoman tone, but it was having no effect at all.
"Is she always like this?"
Hiro, Ume and Mei all nodded in unison.
Mei then looked to Yuzu as she spoke "Your the only one who can always get her up without much or any effort at all"
Yuzu pointed to herself with a confused look "Me?"
She looked to Mei and then to Lily "Do you want me to try?"
Mei looked surprised at the blondes words but she happily accepted the help and thought that this was a perfect opportunity for Yuzu to get more comfortable with everything.
After seeing Mei nod back to her, Yuzu slowly sat up and lent over to the little sleeping girl.
"What do I usually do?" She whispered.
Yuzu looked up at Mei but it was Hiro that answered "Just do what feels right Mama"
Both women looked shocked at the little boy as he sat next to his sister and waited to see what was going to happen.
She smiled back at the boy then turned her attention back to Lily. She attempted the same as what the others had just done a few minutes ago, gently shaking the girl "Lily, Lily its time to wake up"
Not one movement from the girl as she stayed in her deep slumber. She looked up to Mei and shrugged her shoulders as if to say sorry.
Then an idea popped in her head. She started to run her hands through Lily's long silky red hair, then after a few seconds she started to sing. Yuzu didn't know where she knew the song from but the words left her mouth so smooth and easily as if it was a song she wrote.
On the bed Mei was in shock, Yuzu wrote this song only a couple of years ago as it seemed to be the only way to wake the small sleeping beauty. Tears were falling from her cheeks and hitting the bed, she always loved to hear Yuzu sing, her voice sounded so sweet and the look in her eyes always spoke nothing but love.
Yuzu's bright light is what saved Mei from her dark and lonely life and she knew that Yuzu was going to be her first and last love.
Yuzu smiled wide as she continued to sing the song. She looked to her side and saw Hiro and Ume swaying from side to side. Mei had a shocked expression on her face as Yuzu locked eyes with her, Lily started to move and after a few more moments she finally opened her eyes.
Finally letting go of Yuzu's leg to use her hands to rub her eyes the little girl spoke as she yawned.
"Good morning Mama" Yuzu kissed Lily on the head "Good morning Darling"
"You did it Mama" Hiro smiled widely at his Mama, Yuzu roughed his hair up "Thanks for your help Baby Boy"
Mei watched as Hiro stared intensely at his Mama, she noticed straight away that he didn't fix his hair like he usually would every time Yuzu would mess his hair up.
Ume stood up on the bed and gave Yuzu a hug which she returned happily.
"Come on, we have to get ready" Hiro grabbed the hands of both his sisters as he pulled them off the bed and out of the room.
As the door closed Yuzu let out a small sigh.
"I cant believe that actually worked Mei"
"Where did you hear that song Yuzu?"
Yuzu gave Mei a confused expression as she placed a finger on her chin while she tried to think.
"Well I actually have never heard that song before, those words kind of just came to my head so I just sung them"
Mei went quiet, she seemed to be lost in thought as she sat there not looking anywhere in particular. Yuzu went to ask her if she was o.k but Mei spoke before she could ask.
"You wrote that song"
She turned to Yuzu and gave a smile, the look in her eyes had hope.
"What do you mean Mei? When did I write it"
"You wrote it about 2 years ago. Ever since Lily was a baby she always responded to your singing or humming. So you wrote that song just to get her out of bed. She's always the last one to get out of bed"
Yuzu sat there as she nodded and giggled a little thinking about how she was like that 2 while Mei spoke, then it hit her.
"Wait, but i still dont remember anything, how can that be? is this a good sign then?"
-Knock Knock-
They both turned their attention to the closed door.
"Mommy Mr Uzumi is here" Hiros voice came through the door.
Mei immediately stood up and went to the draw as she spoke "O.k, can you tell him i'll be there in a few minutes"
Yuzu slowly made her way around the bed "Who is Mr Uzumi?"
Mei quickly placed her clothes on the bed and quickly ran into the shower, she left the bathroom door open as she continued to talk with Yuzu.
"He is the Vice Principle at the Academy, his name is Sai Uzumi, we have worked together for 5 years now"
Yuzu looked to the bathroom her eyes caught the mirror which reflected a naked Mei washing her body.
She instantly blushed hard and turned her head away.
"Yuzu?"
Yuzu could hear the concern in Meis voice.
"Yeah Mei, im still here"
Yuzu tried to keep her attention on anything else but the bathroom.
'I guess we have been married for a while now so showering with the door open would be normal'
Another blush covered her neck and cheeks as a thought entered her mind.
'I havent even seen Mei fully naked yet, we haven't even had s…s..sex'
Yuzu was brought out of her thoughts as the sound of the shower turning off caught her attention.
She made her way to the door as she spoke to Mei "I'm gonna go great out guest Mei, take your time"
Before Mei could reply she heard the bedroom door open then close.
Yuzu followed the sound of voices, as she made her way into the large living and kitchen area she saw Hiro setting the table for breakfast.
A tall man with short black hair wearing a freshly pressed dark blue suit had his back to Yuzu as he seemed to be cooking something at the stove with Ume and Lily assisting.
Yuzu gritted her teeth together, she didn't even realise that she was doing it until Hiro spoke to her.
"Mama are you o.k?" She snapped out of her trance as she looked over to the young boy and gave a smile "Yes baby boy"
Another voice from the kitchen caused Yuzu to turn her attention to the man.
"Good morning Yuzu, how are you feeling"
She gave him a confused look. He quickly bowed as he realised the situation.
"Sorry, i'm Sa-"
Yuzu cut him off which surprised him.
"Sai Uzumi, right?"
He gave her a smile as she spoke "Yes thats right, are your memories back?"
Yuzu shook her head as she slowly made her way to the bench and leaned on it.
She took in the sight of the man, he was handsome with nearly the same pale complexion as Mei but it was his eyes that caught her off guard. That red wine kind of colour, Yuzu had never seen anything like it before.
"No I haven't, I just heard Mei talking to you on the phone the other day"
He gave a small nod, Yuzu watched as Ume tugged on his clothes as she spoke softly.
"Ummmm Sensei breakfast is going to burn"
In that instant Yuzu felt something wash over her, the memories of Mei calling her Father Sensei seemed to be flooding her mind.
Even though this was her actual first time meeting this man since she lost her memories, she couldn't help but wander what exactly is his relationship to her family, why was he cooking breakfast for her and Meis kids? And she could have sworn that she saw a glint of disappointment as he saw her.
She watched as he quickly turned back to cook the breakfast, then a voice of an angel caused them both to turn around.
"Good morning Sai"
Yuzu looked to Mei who was making her way over to the kitchen. She looked flawless, her hair was done up in a small bun while wearing a white blouse with the first bottom undone showing Meis smooth neck.
Yuzu could see a small shine from the necklace which Mei still wore and it brought a smile to her face.
Yuzu then trailed her eyes down, Mei was wearing a fitting black skirt that hugged her in all the right places then stopped and showed off her beautiful long legs.
"Good morning Mei"
She turned and looked back at the man, his eyes completely focus on her wife.
She knew exactly what that look was, Yuzu remembered seeing that look everyday in her teenage years in herself.
That look of longing, want and most of all love.
