Later the same day, usagi came back to the hospital room with Izuru and Aiko. Usagi came in first. He analyzed my emotional state thoroughly and was pleased with the results. Usagi smiled kindly at me. He knew that I had found my answer, and that made my heart flutter. Izuru came in after, followed by Aiko. Both boys ran to the bed and hugged me. I patted both boys on the head and smiled. Aiko let me go and waited for izuru to do the same but he didn't. He continued to hug me. I looked down to my little bear and started to rub his back. He was shaking. He was crying. He must have been lonely without me at home.

"Izuru.." I called izuru's name softly. He stopped shaking and looked up to me. His purple eyes were glossy with tears. Seeing him look up to me like that reminded me of when he was just a baby, crying senselessly.

I smiled at the memory. I leaned down and kissed izuru on the forehead. Izuru stopped crying, wiped his face and pouted. I smiled and turned izuru's pouty face towards the incubator.

"Why don't you go meet your baby sister?"

Izuru got up want walked over to the incubator carefully and peaked inside. He stared at her for a little while before turning to me.

"daddy, what's her name? I looked to usagi and smiled again.

"her name is chiyo."

"chiyo…" izuru repeated the name and looked back to the figure in the case. He carefully put a hand on the glass and smiled a weak, non-enthusiastic smile. It was a front. I remember this smile very clearly; because this is the very first time that izuru has ever kept in his anger. Izuru doesn't remember this now, but if I had to guess why he was angry at his sister, was probably because she had caused me to be hospitalized, something, at the time was a very hard concept for izuru to understand. But izuru held his anger like he did, because he knew that if he let out the anger he felt, that it would be unfair to his sister, who had just come into the world. He knew she didn't mean to hurt me and so he put up the front.

Izuru looked to me with that fake smile of his. He didn't know what to say. His eyes were searching for something to say. He was eliminating choices that he knew would make someone angry. When he finally found something he stopped smiling and looked back to the case.

"Daddy, why is she purple? Where is her hair? Why does she have so many tubes?"

I smiled and waved izuru to come sit on the bed. He did and looked to me for an answer.

"Well, she has all those tubes in her because she can't breathe very well, and that's also the reason why her skin is purple. And little bear, she has hair; she just doesn't have a lot."

Izuru nodded his head and looked over to the figure again.

"oh…that's why she can't see huh?"

Izurus question like statement shook me. He said it as though it were plain as day, Like it was a known fact that she couldn't see. She could have just been sleeping or have her eyes closed, why in the world did he have to think she couldn't see?

"izuru, the doctor said that she will open her eyes in a few days, and then she will be able to see."

"Oh" was all he said before looking up to his papa. It was papas turn to answer some questions.

"papa, she's my Imo-imo-to?"

Usagi nodded.

"That's right little man, she's your Imoto. That means you have to protect her, okay? You too aiko."

Aiko nodded with passion while izuru looked down and nodded carefully, as if committing to memory his duties as a big brother.

"when will she come out of the box?"

I looked to usagi who nodded his head. He was going to answer.

"She'll come out when she's good and ready izuru. If we take her out too soon there might be problems later so she stays in the box until she's ready."

Izuru nodded. He looked to Aiko who smiled. Izuru smiled in return. His solemn face turned bright and golden again.

I could see that izuru had a lot of thoughts in his head, but I also understood that look he gave Aiko. Despite all of the troubling thoughts running through his head, aiko's smile and presence kept izuru from thinking too hard about any one thing. Izuru loved aiko, and having aiko with him allowed izuru to accept all of the new things happening to him.

I smiled at the boys.

You two will make great big brothers for chiyo.

When aiko and izuru started chatting with one another, usagi sat next to me on the bed and held my hand.

"misaki, what are you thinking about right now?"

I look into usagis eyes with passion, pouring my emotions into those purple orbs. I looked over to izuru and aiko who were cooing at chiyo who seemed to be moving a little more than usual.

"Our son has found someone who understands him with such passion. I wonder if the puppy love we thought they had was actually much more powerful than even true love…I wonder if there soul mates?"

Usagi looked over to the boys and chuckled.

"We probably will never know, but I think you might be right."

"usagi, do you think your daughter will find someone like izuru did?"

Usagi looked at with a displeased glance.

"I sure hope not. I don't want her dating until she's an adult!"

I smiled at the comment. Usagi was already so protective over our daughter and wanted nothing more that her safety and wellbeing, while I sat back and enjoyed the view. I love chiyo with all my heart, but my connection with her when she was young was minor compared to usagi's absolute dedication to her, a connection later strengthened by a fault that was already occurring in our newborn.
