DISCLAIMER!: I don't own KHR.

The next days were a blast. Maria spent her days trying to avoid Reborn's and Mukuro's naughty comments and Gokudera's glares. After that pleasant activity she had to help into choosing pretty much EVERYTHING for the wedding. From dresses and suits to glasses and invitations to Tsuna's underwear for the night... that last one was kinda pleasant for her... They had decided the wedding to be after Chrome gave birth and got recovered from her birth.

Yoshinobu was running around all day with his panda bear in hand and tried to help his mama. He was the one to decide what he would wear. He even chose a suit for his panda. When he was asked why he said

"Its the little bwother mama gave me! He should be pwetty too!" and then he was drowned in hugs and coos. The whole mansion was worried the soon-too-be-bride loved her soon-too-be-official-son more than her fiance. But then Tsuna was coming to the scene and after his fiancée explained the situation he started to coo too... Maria didn't love Yoshinobu more... she had simply formed a sort of fan club with Tsuna.

A week after Reborn decided it was time to have a formal ball for them to announce the wedding.

He personally prepared the invitations so no one knew who would be coming. He ordered all the wedding preparations to be stalled and the balls preparations to begin. He gave the order at the 17 of the month and he organized the ball the 20!

A new frenzy began in which Maria and Yoshinobu were banned from participating. The two didn't really care and spent their remaining days in peace playing all sort of games. Yoshinobu's speech had improved so much he had dropped the cute 'w'. Tsuna tried to spent as much time as he could but paperwork was way too cruel on him. Maria had moved to his room and boy his nights were marvelous! He was finding himself spacing out looking out his window at the back garden were the two most important people of his life were usually playing. Today his son was sitting on his mothers laps and she was reading him a book. He was holding his 'little brother' and he had snuggled his face in his fur. A few seconds later he was asleep. A few more and his mother realised.

She looked at the sky and moved her head from left to right with a smile. She then caught Tsuna's eyes and smiled at him. He smiled back and then was smacked on the head by Reborn.

"Reborn!"

"Look lover boy! You can stare at them as much as you want but first finish this stacks ok?"

Tsuna sighed and looked out the window once more and saw Maria had fallen back on the grass and was laughing holding Yoshinobu protectively. She turned at her fiance and blew him a kiss. He pretended he caught. Then he kissed his fist and blew it back.

"Oooooo cub flirting..." said a sarcastic voice and Tsuna spoon his chair to find the sardonic smile of Savaglio.

"What do you want?" asked the young don " I thought I told you I'm not interested in your offer"

"I'm not here for that" he said and sat down on a chair. "I wanted to congratulate you on your wedding. Although, I was saddened when I didn't receive an invitation to neither the announcement ball nor the wedding."

Good job Reborn thought Tsuna. "And?"

"And?" repeated Savaglio confused

"You said you were saddened because you didn't receive the invitations. And?"

"Don't you think that an influential mafia boss like me should have to attend these events? Plus there is someone I have to meet there."

"Savaglio honestly if you think I'm going to let you do your nasty business-"

"Oh you misunderstood my friend!" said Savaglio smiling slyly and raised his hands in surrender. "The one I want to meet is simply a love interest!"

Tsuna looked at him with eyes the size of a plate a shown in anime.

"Huh?"

"OH Decimo! She is such a beauty but so heavily guarded as well!" He said "I think she feels the same about me but there is no way to contact her!"

"And she is invited to my party?" asked Tsuna looking at him like he is crazy. Who was she?

"Yes! Please Decimo! I simply want to give her a red rose to show her my passion for her." He said and Tsuna missed the sly glimse in his eyes

"Who is she?" he asked

"Someone you know very well... very very well" He said. Tsuna sighed and reached for his drawer. He opened it and took an invitation.

"Only for the ball!" he said. Savaglio took the invitation and smiled a bright a smile at our friend

"You are so kind Decimo." He stood up and reached for the door then he turned "My regards to your wonderful wife... and to the mother... of your son" then he left and left Tsuna feeling as if he was being bagged by something. He thought that he meant Marialina. But his institution was saying something else. Her. Tsuna tightened his fists in the remembrance of her and he let go only when a hand rested on his.

He looked up and saw Maria staring at him worried.

"My love whats wrong? I called you so many times what were you thinking?" she asked. Tsuna sighed and rested his head on her stomach hugging her waist.

"Just tired." he said and inhaled "Yoshinobu?"

"Hayato took him to bed" she said as she caressed her fiance's hair. "I saw Svaglio on the way. What did he want?"

"Apparently he didnt get an invitation"

"And you gave him one?"

"Only for the ball. His love interest will be coming" He said and purred as Maria massaged his neck.

"He has a love interest? I thought he was a misogynist."

"Apparently he changed" he said and sat her on his laps "You women have this effect on us men" he said and kissed her cheek

"Oh really?" she said and put her hands around his neck "In what way exactly?"

"You make us come to beg for something we didn't deserve, for instance."

"Hmm..." She said and snuggled into Tsuna's chest. They stayed like that for a while. Paperwork and responsibilities forgotten.

"Tsuna?" said Maria all of a sudden

"Yes?"

"Who is Yoshinobu's mom?"

"You" said Tsuna looking confused

"I don't mean that" she said and looked him in the eye. He knew. She wanted to know about her

"Oh..."he said and moved her too stand up. He walked to the drawer next to the couches and poured a drink. He looked at it for a while and dried the glass at once. He looked at her and closed his eyes.

"Can I tell you another time?" he asked and opened his eyes. His tired puppy eyes hit her hard.

"Okay..." she said and smiled. She would wait... It didn't matter.
