The Honeymoon: Epilogue
During the following four days of their honeymoon, Tetsuya and Yuki had spent that entire time either swimming around in the resort's pool or getting soothing massages from the spa. It showed that what Yuki had told Tetsuya on the second night of their honeymoon was coming into fruition after all. However, being the considerate couple that they are Tetsuya and Yuki wanted to bring their perspective families a gift from the resort that they can give them upon their return. That was to transpire on the final day right before leaving the resort and concluding the honeymoon.
"That was a very wonderful honeymoon, sweetheart. What do you want to get out of the gift shop?" Tetsuya stating to Yuki who was looking at the resort's gift shop.
"Well I was thinking that we should give my mom and Kushina recipe books that are shown on the display case here." Yuki responded while staring at the recipe books.
"That is a great idea, sweetheart. If you want to you can get a copy of the recipe book for us?" Tetsuya said with consideration in his voice.
Yuki had a smile on her face and proceeded to get three copies of the recipe book. In that moment, placing the books in their duffle bag Tetsuya and Yuki left the resort in the direction for the apartment. Even though they were saddened that the honeymoon was ending, Tetsuya and Yuki felt that they were truly acting like a married couple. After unpacking their things at the apartment, Tetsuya and Yuki noticed that there was a note placed on the dining room table.
"Hmm…that's odd a note placed here in our dining room table. I didn't notice it when we got here, my love. Do you want to check it out?" Yuki stated in a curious tone looking at Tetsuya.
"Sure I will look at it while you are in the shower, sweetheart." Tetsuya responded with a smile on his face.
With Yuki taking a quick shower, Tetsuya looked at the note to see that it was written by Kushina. This note stated that once Tetsuya and Yuki got back from their honeymoon that their presence was required at the Sakagami Bakery. "Seems like my sister just wrote this note today. Hmm…why would she want me and Yuki to be at the bakery? If this is the case, then we should bring the gifts we brought with us." Tetsuya thought to himself once Yuki got out of the shower.
"Sweetheart, do you mind if we head by the bakery?" Tetsuya asked Yuki once she made it back to the living room.
"Ok, I will get on my shoes. What about you, my love?" Yuki responded once she headed near the front door.
"I will take my shower once we get back. If you were wondering what that note said it had something to do with us needing to be at the bakery. I will also grab the two copies of the recipe book we got from the resort gift shop." Tetsuya stated as he was heading back into the bedroom to grab the books and grabbed his shoes.
While on route to the bakery, Yuki started to wonder why her and Tetsuya were needed at the bakery immediately coming home from the honeymoon. Tetsuya noticed that Yuki was feeling the same way he did after reading the note Kushina placed on the dining room table. Once the bakery was in sight, Tetsuya and Yuki noticed two familiar faces standing outside of the bakery anticipating their arrival who were none other than Minato and Yosaki.
"Welcome back, Tetsuya and Yuki. If you were wondering why your presence was required here today. It's that Kushina and Shiznae were planning a huge family dinner for all of us." Yosaki said while greeting Tetsuya and Yuki.
"So how was your guys' honeymoon?" Minato asked out of curiosity.
"Not to be rude or anything, Minato. Me and Yuki are planning on answering that question once we get into the dining room." Tetsuya responded with a stern voice.
Yuki put a sigh underneath her breath and understood that Tetsuya with his statement was answering it trying not be selfish. With that all four of them proceeded to enter the bakery and went straight towards the living room. Noticing that Tetsuya and Yuki were in sight, Shia gave them a big hug to represent her greeting and right behind her was Shiznae who stated a quick greeting to the married couple.
"*sighs* I am guessing the mastermind of this plan is in the kitchen making dinner." Tetsuya said while noticing that Kushina was not nearby Shia and Shiznae.
"Mastermind, what are you talking about?" Yuki asked after hearing her husband's statement.
Tetsuya then explained to Yuki that Kushina was the one that wrote the note back at the dining room of their apartment. That put a little sigh of relief on Yuki after understanding the purpose behind this situation.
"I am going into the kitchen to greet Kushina. If you want to Yuki, you can visit with your mother and sister while I do this?" Tetsuya stated right before entering the kitchen.
Yuki nodded her head in response to Tetsuya's question and went into the dining room table to chat with her family and Minato. Tetsuya walked into the kitchen with a smile on his face seeing his sister cooking up a huge dinner.
"Hello, little brother. So, you guys got my note?" Kushina stated once she heard Tetsuya's footsteps in the kitchen.
"Yes I sure did, Sis. What are you cooking for dinner?" Tetsuya responded as he was standing right next to the kitchen sink.
"I am making my special dish, you know." Kushina responded with a smile on her face immediately after the Kushina Special was done cooking.
Seeing that the dinner was done, Tetsuya helped Kushina bring the food onto the dining room table where everyone else had been sitting at. Then Tetsuya proceeded to take a seat right next to Yuki and he blessed the food before everyone could eat it. After eating the dinner, the Sakagamis, Minato and Kushina had wondrous looks on their faces at Tetsuya and Yuki.
"How was your honeymoon?" Shia asked with curiosity towards Tetsuya and Yuki.
"It was great and we got to spend most of our time at the spa. The resort gave us a nice suite during our stay there. Kushina and Mom we brought back something for you guys from the resort." Yuki responded as she was getting ready to hand the recipe books to Kushina and Shiznae.
After receiving the recipe books from Yuki, both Kushina and Shiznae thanked both Tetsuya and Yuki for the gift. Not even taking a step out of the dining room, Tetsuya had been approached by Yosaki to come to the back porch. Yuki noticed this and decided to visit with the others while her husband and father were going to the back porch.
"Tetsuya, I am glad that the honeymoon turned out good. At least you made Yuki very happy. I came out here to tell you that your sister and brother-in-law have been helping us a lot while you were away. Me and Shiznae are grateful that they did that for us." Yosaki stated to Tetsuya with honesty in his voice.
"That was very nice of Minato and Kushina helping you guys out; I feel grateful just like you are about the situation. I just can't wait to be back at work tomorrow. I just have a feeling that Yuki might have real strenuous shifts at work for the next couple of weeks and it concerns me." Tetsuya stated with potential concern on his face.
"Why do you say that, Tetsuya?" Yosaki asked about the last part of Tetsuya's statement.
"*sighs* It's that more recently Yuki has been acting very strange after doing certain things which I know makes us happy. I am afraid that if she acts like this at work, then she would be losing her chances of getting a promotion that she always wanted." Tetsuya responded with honesty in his voice.
Yosaki understood what Tetsuya meant and he gave him assurance that there is nothing to be afraid of. In that moment, both Yosaki and Tetsuya went back into the dining room to see that everyone else was done cleaning up dinner dishes. It did not take long to notice for Tetsuya to see that Yuki was not in the dining room.
"If you are looking for Yuki. She went to the front entrance of the bakery and wanted to wait for you to get done with the conversation. However, Minato and Kushina went after her to have a little chat. See you tomorrow, Tetsuya." Shia said to Tetsuya who had a wondrous look on his face.
"Ok thank you, Shia. I will see you guys tomorrow." Tetsuya stated as he was going towards the entranceway to the bakery.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the bakery, Tetsuya noticed that Yuki had waited patiently for his arrival. With that both Tetsuya and Yuki headed back to the apartment, it left Tetsuya with curiosity into what Yuki's conversation with Minato and Kushina was about. Immediately entering the apartment, Tetsuya went straight into the shower while Yuki proceeded to sit in their sofa waiting for him to get done with his actions.
"Sweetheart, what did Minato and Kushina have to say to you?" Tetsuya stated the first thing coming to his mind upon sitting in the sofa after getting out of the shower.
"*sighs* they wanted to know if you were treating me well, being grateful to fill your position at work, and wondering how you are feeling. I told them you are treating me very good and you're feeling wonderful. So, what did you and my dad have to talk about, my love?" Yuki stated with honesty in her face.
"Hmm…. basically, the same thing you just said. We are very lucky that we did not tell them what happened on the second night of our honeymoon." Tetsuya said with a sigh of relief on his face.
Yuki was glad about Tetsuya's statement since the latter part of it she did not tell Minato and Kushina about it as well. Knowing that they were going to be real busy with their first day back to work the next day, Tetsuya and Yuki went straight to bed.
