...
Yuzu stepped out of the taxi as she breathed in the cool breeze of this sunny, autumn afternoon, sighing to herself and closing her eyes for a moment, before looking to the rather small two-story, detached house in front of her. Seeing that it was a little rundown and certainly did still need a lot of love and care, however not really minding about all of that since although they had been to see many houses over the last few months the blonde was almost sure this was the one they had been looking for all this time.
Having already visited this house a couple of times before, this was likely one of the last times they would be coming to see it, while Mei and Yuzu were still deciding whether they actually wanted to go through the process of buying it for them and their young daughter or not. Being glad that it wasn't too far away from where her Mother's apartment complex was, plus it was in a nice neighbourhood and it even had three bedrooms and a back garden, plenty of room for the three of them.
However nothing was set in stone just yet and there were still a few things to consider from here, but they were on their way at least from this point on. The blonde soon enough being joined by her dark haired wife as Mei stepped out of the taxi as well, having just unbuckled little one year old Maiya from her car seat and who was now being held in her birth Mother's arms. That not lasting for long though it seemed as she was put down after she kept wiggling to get out of Mei's grasp, and once she was free she immediately sprang into life, running off towards the front door of the rather old tumbled down house.
"Well she sure seems excited," the blonde chuckled as she watched their young daughter start to jump around the front door, waiting for her two Mothers to come over to her, while Mei just softened her gaze and sighed in response a little.
"This is her first time seeing the house after all," the younger girl simply shrugged as she glanced back to their daughter and let a small smile form on her lips, when seeing Maiya waving her arms around and calling back to her two Mothers, obviously trying to get their attention at the moment and causing them to just head to her call soon afterwards.
"Mama! Mommy!"
The cheerful one year old called out loudly, smiling brightly when her two Mothers both nodded to her and soon came to join her at the front door of the house, before they all entered into the main living area and were politely greeted by the estate agent that was meant to be selling the house to the them.
"Come on Maiya-chan; let's go see your room, its super big!" Yuzu bent down as she smiled to her daughter, causing the one year old to happily nod back to her blonde Mother, looking just excited as she did at this moment.
"Maiya-chan room!"
She cheered in reply, throwing her arms up in the air, clearly looking forward to seeing what her bedroom looked like now that she would have one of her very own once they had all moved into their new home. Maiya and her blonde Mother quickly running off towards the stairs, heading for the bedrooms while Mei was left to talk with the estate agent by herself.
However the dark haired girl not really staying to chat for very long at all, as once the estate agent had filled her in on all the preparations that they would be going through in the next coming weeks if they did decide to buy this house, Mei then let the estate agent take a phone call from another client, while she guessed she would look around the house a little.
Even though she had already seen it all before when first coming here along with Yuzu, but she still felt like having another wander throughout the house might be good for her, it might help her with deciding whether they should really get this house or not after all. Letting a long sigh leave her lips as she let a content expression form on her face, slowly walking around the lounge first as every room looked empty and bare at the moment, only the big appliances left in the kitchen still like the cooker, the counter, the fridge and a few wooden cabinets as well.
Mei seeming to be thinking to herself as she slowly walked into the dinning and kitchen area, which were joined together in the same space, it being quite surprising that although the house really didn't look all that big, the rooms were not small at all and it looked like the family of three would have plenty of room for everything if they did choose to live here.
Making her way over to the kitchen counter for a moment as she folded her arms across her chest and glanced at almost every corner of the down stairs area, seeming to be inspecting and taking in all her surroundings while wondering to herself just what it might be like to live here along with her blonde wife and their young daughter, after they had been living in that small apartment with Yuzu's Mother for so long.
Taking one last, long glance around the lounge, dining area and kitchen before she soon turned, and headed up the wooden stairs, deciding to have a look around up there instead. Doing pretty much the same exact thing in all the rooms upstairs that she had already done with all the downstairs rooms, inspecting the white bathroom, which was clearly the only room in the whole house that wasn't as empty, as everything was there for them already and although the bathroom was one of the smaller rooms in the house the bath looked big enough to fit at least three or four people inside at the same time.
Moving on to look around the other two bedrooms first, before Mei soon only had the last bedroom left to look around, as she walked to stand in the open doorway, seeing that this one was easily the biggest bedroom out of the three and that being just what both her and Yuzu had wanted for their precious daughter.
Leaning on the doorframe Mei soon let a soft smile form on her lips as she looked to her beloved wife and daughter gazing out of the rather large window together, Yuzu happily talking to Maiya all about their new house and her having her very own room for the first time in her life, having moved from sleeping in her Mothers' room by now, however sharing a bedroom with her Grandmother for the time being since the elder woman had insisted so much and clearly wasn't going to let Mei and Yuzu refuse her generous offer.
Maiya not really understanding much of what her blonde Mother was saying to her at the moment as she was still too young for that just yet, however smiling back up to her nonetheless as it was clear the joyful one year old was just content with listening to whatever Yuzu was saying to her, even if she had little to no idea what she was going on about. This just making a warm feeling come over Mei as she stood looking to Yuzu and Maiya gazing out of the window, glancing around the back garden together, while the dark haired girl rested a hand over her heart.
Sighing as she felt like this is all she really wanted from their new home, she didn't care how big the rooms were, or how nice everything may look, all she really wanted was to see that her little family could be happy living here together. Believing that she didn't need to think about this for much longer, knowing that Yuzu already loved this house the most out of all the others they had checked out over the past few months, and could clearly guess that Maiya liked it here as well, meaning that there was only her left to make a decision about it all.
'This house is nice...and I really think I can see us living here as a family...but...I feel like something is still holding me back from actually making the decision to buy it,' she thought to herself as the three of them were soon leaving in the taxi they had come in, being told by the estate agent that 'there really was no rush', so that they would be reassured that there was no pressure for them to make a decision when they might not be ready to do so just yet.
'Maybe I just don't want to let go of our home with Yuzu's Mother since we've all been living with her for so long now,' the dark haired girl sighed as she shrugged her shoulders slightly, giving the house one last, thoughtful glance, before getting into the taxi along with Yuzu and Maiya.
Still seeming to be lost in her own thoughts throughout most of the fairly short ride home since she obviously had quite a lot of things on her mind at the moment, meanwhile Yuzu noticing Mei's thoughtful expression, looking concerned for her but knowing it was best to just leave the younger girl to it, letting her make her own decisions about all this without her interfering at all and being patient until Mei would hopefully eventually tell her just what she had decided on by herself.
...
The small family of three soon returning back to their home, getting greeted happily by the blonde's Mother almost instantly as she began walking with Yuzu into the kitchen and dining area, while Mei took Maiya into the lounge, putting her down on the floor so that she could play with her toys. The cheerful one year old turning back to her birth Mother every so often, smiling and speaking incoherent words to her, Mei just softening her smile as she sat closer to her young daughter and stroked her short, black hair, causing her to giggle joyfully back up to her in response.
"So how's the house hunting going? Did Maiya-chan like the look of her room?"
Ms Okogi asked her blonde daughter as they stood beside the cooker, already having mugs of warm green tug in their hands, it not taking all that long for the elder woman to notice that Yuzu had quite the concerned expression on her face at the moment, while she glanced to the lounge and was clearly thinking about a few things.
"Oh yeah she loved it, and everything is pretty much sorted out with the house...all we need to do now is to actually decide if we do want to buy this house or just keep looking," the blonde shaking her head as she lowered her tone, it being obvious that her mind wasn't really focused on their conversation at the moment, Yuzu looking down as she sighed slightly to herself and caused her Mother to look worried for her.
"I thought you really liked this house,"
The elder woman looking like she wanted to offer her shoulder to her daughter, knowing she needed to get her feelings off her chest right now, and being happy to lend her an ear. Yuzu however quickly shaking her head, seeming to focus more of her attention on her Mother, while she rested a caring hand on the blonde's shoulder in a comforting manner.
"I do, it's just...I'm not sure how Mei feels about it all, she was being really quiet and distant on the taxi ride home, I didn't talk to her since it was obvious she had a lot on her mind. But..." pausing as she looked to her Mother with a bit of a nervous gaze, causing the elder woman to just sigh and smile, giving her daughter an understanding expression in reply.
"Talk to her about Yuzu, it's probably the only way you're going to find out what's going through her mind at the moment," she stated hoping that Yuzu would take her advice, as the blonde just nodded in response knowing that she had to eventually talk with her wife about all this if they were going to decide on it all together.
'That's if she doesn't shut down on me,' Yuzu thought to herself as she smiled to her Mother and soon hugged her, thanking her before she left to go and join her wife and daughter in the lounge, while Ms Okogi just leaned against the kitchen counter and sighed deeply. Knowing she was going to miss Mei, Yuzu and Maiya once they had moved out but at the same time she knew they would have to leave eventually, they unfortunately couldn't all stay in this small apartment together forever after all.
...
Deciding to wait until her and Mei were going to bed, since Yuzu thought it would be best to give the younger girl some more time to think over her thoughts by herself, seeing that Mei had continued to stay rather quiet and distant at dinner, and it being obvious she still had a lot on her mind as her and Yuzu were now dressed in their pyjamas and getting into bed together. The two having already put Maiya to bed in the room she shared with her Grandmother a little while ago, while the older woman was staying up for a bit longer, but would likely be joining her young Granddaughter in their shared bedroom soon enough.
The blonde seeming to be thinking to herself, glancing nervously to Mei as she tried to think of how she could bring up the conversation of how the younger girl felt about everything to do with them finding a home of their own, going over it all inside her mind a few times before she nodded to herself before turning back to Mei a moment later.
However before Yuzu could say anything at all Mei spoke up instead, surprising the blonde as it was obvious she wasn't expecting the younger girl to even want to talk to her at the moment, no matter actually be the one to start up a conversion between them and what she had said being even more of a shock to her it seemed.
"Yuzu, I've decided...I want to buy the house," she stated in what seemed like quite the confident tone, it being clear that she had put a lot of thought into this decision, looking like she was trying to come off as determined but it not taking Yuzu all that long to notice the slight nerves that were hiding behind her lavender eyes.
"Wait what...seriously?"
She questioned as she didn't really know what else to say at this point, thinking that it must have taken a lot for Mei to come to this decision, and although she was maybe pushing herself a little here, it was clear that the younger girl was quite certain on what she had decided as she just nodded in reply to the blonde.
"Well...that's great. I was kinda thinking that maybe you didn't like the house or something...you know since you haven't really said a word after we left and came back home," Yuzu thought out loud as it was easy to see she was glad about the decision that Mei had come to all on her own, however she was still wondering just how she had eventually come to this conclusion.
Mei looking like she was hesitating a little at first, before it seemed like she was pushing her nerves aside and shook her head, continuing on a moment later, looking back to Yuzu with the same determined expression as before, "That wasn't it, I actually think the house is really lovely...but I...the thing is I know we have to move out eventually I mean Maiya is growing up fast, we can't still be staying here when she's starting school and she really needs a room of her own. And even though I know all this I...I still feel like it'll be really hard for us to let go of this place as our home," she explained, pausing every so often as it looked like she was trying to collect all of her thoughts, while Yuzu just stayed silent for now, letting Mei just say what she needed without interrupting her at all until she had finished.
"Well you know this place with Mom will always be our home, I'm sure Mom would love us to come back whenever we want to, and...There really is no rush either; we still have plenty of time to decide on this," the blonde trying to reassure the younger girl, wanting her to know that there was no pressure being put on her with all of this, and if she wanted more time to think about everything then that was fine. However Mei just shaking her head in reply as it seemed she had most likely told herself the exact same things before now.
"I know, I know...but this is the decision that I'm sticking to, I mean all I've been wanting since we starting looking for a house of our own was for us to find a house where I could see us all living in happily as a family...and when I was saw you and Maiya together in her room today I realised that that house, as run down as it may be...it's the one I want for our family," the younger girl let a softened smile form her lips as her confidence looked a lot more genuine now, causing Yuzu to seem taken aback and unsure of what to say in response, however that not lasting long as she soon smiled back to Mei and nodded her head, before bringing her beloved wife into a tight and loving embrace.
"It's the one that I want too,"
She replied even though Mei already knew that she clearly loved that house, and had wanted to buy it from the very first time they had gone to check it out a couple of months back. Mei hugging Yuzu back as she felt the blonde nuzzling into her, but the happy atmosphere soon changing as the younger girl frowned slightly and pulled away from Yuzu, causing her to look a little confused and concerned in response.
"But...I'll still really miss this place," Mei simply whispered out as she leaned back against Yuzu's chest, causing her to look a little unsure of what to say at first, before she soon just shrugged her shoulders and rested her chin on top of Mei's head, letting out a slight sigh and holding the younger girl closer to her .
"Yeah...I'll miss it too," she whispered back as she pecked Mei's forehead lightly, before nuzzling into her again and smiling when she felt the younger girl relax in her warm embrace, it certainly seeming like she was glad that she had now gotten all her feelings off of her chest, and was no longer bottling them up inside herself.
Yuzu soon changing the subject and breaking the short silence that had fallen on them both, still speaking in quite the lowered tone, thinking that Mei would likely want to go to sleep in a little bit so they should probably start settling down, while they lay in each other's arms and were wrapped up in the covers of their double bed.
"You know your birthday's coming up soon, is there anything that you want for it at all?" the blonde asked as she lay combing her fingers through her wife's long, black hair, Mei knowing that she was just trying to make conversation at the moment and so shrugging her shoulders in response, it being obvious that she didn't have to think about her answer for very long.
"Yuzu we're already buying a house, plus I've got you and Maiya...what else could I need?"
She simply stated and even though Mei was being truthful right now, it was easy to see that Yuzu wasn't pleased with that reply, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, guessing she should have guessed the younger girl would say something like that since she had heard something like it before when asking Mei what she wanted for things like her birthday and Christmas before now.
"Come on Mei don't give me that, isn't there anything that you want at all?"
Yuzu removing her arms from being wrapped tight around Mei's waist, and instead just folding them across her chest now, causing Mei to give out a slight sigh, before she began thinking to herself, making Yuzu feel glad as it looked like she actually might be considering the thought of asking Yuzu for something after all instead of just settling for whatever she chose to get her like she always had done in the past.
The younger girl thinking of just brushing this off and not really putting a lot of thought into her answer, but her thoughts causing her to pause and refrain from doing so, closing her eyes and leaning back against Yuzu, as the blonde just looked back to her with a questioning gaze. Something still seeming to be on her mind, but Yuzu having a feeling that it was most likely different from what they were talking about only a few minutes ago, Mei biting her bottom lip as she bawled her hands into tight fists and seemed like she was lost in deep thought, wondering if she should really tell her wife about what had been on her mind lately that she had been keeping from her for a while now.
"Well...maybe there is something..."
She shrugged again as she hugged her knees up to her chest and held on to them both tightly, her voice being close to a whisper, while she caused Yuzu to light up in response, obviously seeming excited about actually getting something for Mei that she herself had asked her for, instead of the blonde just guessing each time she brought something for the younger girl.
"Really, what is it? It doesn't matter whatever it may be I will get it for you Mei, I promise,"
The blonde talking in a bit of a rushed tone, clearly being excited by the fact that she could get Mei something she actually wanted, however Yuzu's reaction only causing the younger girl to seem more nervous at the moment as she turned away from Yuzu and looked down to the bed sheets, before soon glancing back to Yuzu and making her more interested in just what Mei was going to tell her in result.
"It can be anything?"
"Yes, anything at all,"
The elder girl just nodding with a bright smile to her wife, it being obvious that she wanted to do this for Mei although judging by how much the younger girl was hesitating right now, was maybe starting to make the blonde feel a little unsure about it all, 'Within reason that is,' she thought to herself, as she still wanted to hear what Mei was going to say to her, whether it would be something she was kind of expecting or not, she would just have to wait and see.
Taking another deep breath Mei eventually nodded more to herself than Yuzu, then made a gesture to the blonde with one hand, telling her to 'Come closer', causing her to lean closer to the younger girl, while Mei reached up to Yuzu's ear, covering her mouth as she whispered her response into her wife's ear.
Yuzu's smile soon fading from her lips as her eyes widened and her face slowly formed into an all too surprised expression, clearly not expecting to hear what the younger girl had just whispered into her ear, causing the blonde to seem pretty speechless for a few minutes, while Mei sat back and looked away from the blonde again with another nervous gaze directed to the bed sheets.
"YOU WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER BA-
"Shhh!"
Mei cut the blonde as she quickly covered Yuzu's mouth, gesturing at her to even though this was no doubt surprising to her, she would rather her be quiet about it all so that her Mother wouldn't hear what their conversation was about at all, Yuzu just nodding in response and causing the younger girl to soon slowly remove her hand from covering her wife's lips.
"You want to have another baby?"
She asked as she clearly still looked shocked by what Mei had said, having never thought that the younger girl would even start thinking about having another child until a few years from now maybe, that is if she wanted to have a second baby at all. However that not looking like it was a concern anymore since surprisingly Mei had been the one to bring the subject up instead of it being her at all like she imagined she would do one day in the future.
Just nodding in reply Mei looked a little worried, unsure if Yuzu was just surprised which was definitely understandable, or if the blonde might not actually think the same as Mei when it came to them trying for another baby. Yuzu still seeming unsure of what she should say in reply as she tried to collect all her thoughts and work out what to respond with, trying not to think too much about this and see how exactly this topic had entered Mei's mind and just how long she had been thinking about it all.
"What...when...how long have you been thinking about this for?" Stuttering a little Yuzu tried to compose herself as she wanted Mei to know she wasn't opposed to the idea of them having a second child at all, she just wanted to know how much thought the younger girl had put into all of this, and from where the blonde was sitting it looked like it had been a lot.
"A couple of months maybe...and I'm not saying we have to start trying right away...it's just...whenever I see Maiya playing with her toys by herself, or finding that she has fallen asleep something, I just think... 'I don't want her to be our only child'," Mei explained in more of a lowered voice just above a whisper, as it was obvious she was still feeling nervous about how Yuzu would react to all this, hoping that although this was all most likely quite the shock for the blonde, maybe just maybe she wanted the same thing as her.
"Well I'm not worried about us not being able to cope financially, but...do you think this is the right time for everything that comes with having another baby?" Yuzu still seemed a little taken aback, but now starting to calm herself down and showed an understanding expression to Mei, knowing that money wouldn't be an issue as least since she was now earning more after being promoted to 'assistant chef' in the cafe she works in a couple of months back, plus it wouldn't be long until Mei would take over the school once her Grandfather had retired and she could start providing for their family as well. The blonde letting Mei know that she wanted to talk about this, and definitely wasn't going to change the subject or shut down on her at all.
Sighing slightly Mei turned back to Yuzu and rested a hand on her shoulder, pushing away her nerves and trying her best to be more confident in her speech so that Yuzu could tell just how serious she was being at the moment, "There likely never will be a 'right time' Yuzu, things are always to keep changing for us no matter what, but I've just been thinking that if we do have another baby then I would like to have more control over how it happens unlike we did when Maiya came along, plus that house we are buying does have three bedrooms, so we also won't have to worry about not having the space for a new baby very much," she said, getting all of her thoughts out as Yuzu just nodded in reply, then looking like she was thinking to herself for a few moments, not saying anything while causing Mei to look nervous once again as she seemed unsure if Yuzu's silence was a good or bad thing for her in this particular situation.
"Do you not want to have another child?" the younger girl biting her bottom lip after asking, as she felt like she wouldn't really know how to respond if Yuzu's answer was a 'No', however it luckily seeming like she wouldn't have to be too worried about that since Yuzu quickly shook her head and rested both of her hands on Mei's shoulders.
"Are you kidding, of course I do, I would want to have a hundred children with you if I could Mei," she reassured her wife, giving her an encouraging smile in response, causing the younger girl to sigh out of relief and chuckle after hearing the blonde's response, figuring that she probably shouldn't have been expecting anything less from Yuzu.
"I think two is enough for now," Mei let a smile form on her lips, causing Yuzu to chuckle back to her, as she moved her hands from the younger girl's shoulders and instead held on to her hands tightly, looking deeply into her eyes while Mei did the same to her.
"So...are we really doing this?"
"Only if you want to Yuzu,"
"Then...let's have another baby,"
Yuzu replied as she was back to being her cheery self, clearly more than excited for this new development, wrapping her arms around Mei and hugging her tightly a moment later, causing the younger girl to just chuckle again and hug the blonde back and relax into her embrace. Before it soon seemed like she remembered something and pulled away from Yuzu a little, looking a little nervous again and making the elder girl look back to her with a wondering gaze.
"Umm...but could you maybe the one to carry the baby this time?" she asked, as although going through her pregnancy with Maiya was all worth it, she would kind of like to be the one taking care of Yuzu though it all instead of the blonde looking after her again like when Maiya was on the way.
Again it looking like Mei wouldn't have to worry about anything at all, as Yuzu simply just nodded back to the younger girl happily, "I would love to carry our second baby Mei," she stated with a softened smile as she brought Mei into another tight hug, and caused her to just smile in return and nuzzle into the blonde lovingly.
"Then I'll warn you, you'll likely be in for quite the 'ride'," the younger girl breaking the short silence that had fallen on them both as she caused Yuzu to give out another slight chuckle, just nodding in response before she lightly kissed Mei lightly on her forehead.
"Oh I don't doubt that, considering everything I watched you go through while you were pregnant with Maiya-chan," the blonde nodded as she could easily remember all the troubles and happy moments that Mei went through in her pregnancy, wanting to take her place sometimes so that she wouldn't be in pain at all, and now this could be her chance to do so, but knowing it would likely be quite different for her.
The married couple embracing again as Mei soon lay on top of Yuzu, having her arms linked around the blonde's neck while Yuzu's arms were both wrapped around the younger girl's lower back, the two resting their foreheads against each other as they both let another short silence fall on them for a little while, gazing deeply into one another's eyes before Yuzu soon broke the blissful quietness between them.
"I love you Mei. I love you so, so much," she whispered with a content smile resting on her lips, as she caused the younger girl to just rest her head against her chest and give out a pleasant sigh in response.
"I love you too Yuzu, and I can't wait to expand our little family with you," she replied with a softened smile back to the blonde, causing Yuzu to beam back to her and blush slightly before she smirked slightly to the younger girl.
"Then let's not waste any time," she simply said in an alluring tone, moving her arms up and flipping Mei over before she got the chance to respond at all, pinning her down on the bed, causing the younger girl to look taken aback for a moment, before she just rolled her eyes and chuckled when the blonde kissed her lips lightly.
"Yuzu..."
Mei whispered out into the darkness of their bedroom, feeling the blonde soon kissing her again but this time much more passionately, as their tongues danced in a moment full of ecstasy and pleasure, the two becoming lost in their love making while their clothes were forgotten and moans could be heard from them both. The two Drifting off to sleep hours later once they had fully exhausted themselves for the night, as they still lay wrapped in each other's loving arms, holding the other close as they slept together peacefully.
...
-Two weeks later-
It being late in the morning as Yuzu sat of the edge of the toilet seat looking to the pregnancy test that she held in her hands, fiddling with it a little as she waited for it to show just what her result was, giving out a bit of a sigh while she knew Mei was eagerly waiting for her in their bedroom. The dark haired girl sitting on their double bed, trying to be patient as she hoped she could distract herself with other thoughts, however that not seeming to work for long as every so often she would glance back to the bedroom door, waiting to see the blonde walking through it to tell her the result.
Taking a deep breath as she knew she shouldn't let herself become impatient, but it beginning to get to her a little since she didn't know how much longer she was meant to wait for, however soon finding that she luckily wouldn't have to keep waiting anymore, as within a few more minutes Yuzu came walking to lean against the bedroom doorframe.
Mei looking a little anxious as she looked to Yuzu's expression, waiting to hear what result the test had given her, while also trying to guess how the blonde was feeling at the moment from her body language, but not needing to wonder for that long as Yuzu soon just smiled to the younger girl happily.
"It's positive,"
She simply stated as she pointed to the positive pregnancy test she still held in her hand, looking to Mei and seeing her lean back on the bed, sighing in relief while Yuzu just chuckled a little and came to sit beside the younger girl and wrapped an arm around her, while Mei just softened her expression and nuzzled into the blonde's warm embrace.
The two holding each other close, they clearly being overjoyed that Yuzu had become pregnant after only about a couple of weeks of trying for another baby, both of them seeming to be thinking to themselves for a few moments before Yuzu soon broke the short silence that had settled on them, "Do you think Maiya-chan will like being a big sister?" she asked as it did seem like a bit of an sudden question, but definitely one to think about, while Mei just stayed quiet at first and then shrugged her shoulders slightly.
"Honestly I'm not sure how she'll feel about it, she's still so young after all, but I'm sure in time she will be a wonderful big sister to this baby," she replied as she reassured the blonde, combing a hand through her long hair, causing Yuzu to just nod and smile brightly back to the younger girl, before she brought her into a loving kiss and soon felt Mei kissing her back in return.
Both Mei and Yuzu knowing this was another long journey they were heading into, but willing to face it all head on, having a feeling there would be many bumps along the way for them as they went through telling Maiya about the baby (as well as everyone else), everything that would change once they had moved into their new house and all the troubles, and moments of happiness they would go through together while Yuzu was pregnant.
Knowing raising two young children would be very different than just raising one, however they definitely felt willing to see this whole thing through, guessing that life would likely become more difficult for them all from here, but having confidence that they could work it out just as long as they did it together like they have always done. The two young Mothers believing that whatever the future may bring from this point on, they could continue to pull through it all together as their little family of four.
...
And that's it! My god it feels like I've only be writing this story for a couple of weeks and now here we are at the end with 55 chapters (this is offically the longest story I have ever written btw), and honestly I have loved every bit of writing it all. I do feel like I'll miss it and wish I could carry it on for longer but it does have to end eventually (and don't worry although this may seem like the end for now, I do have a little sequel story planned that I will be starting on soon enough). :D
Thank you to all my lovely readers of this story who have been following it right from the very beginning, I love you all and can't thank you enough for all your kind words and continued support throughout each and every chapter. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter and thank you all for reading as always. Hoping to hear from you all in my future stories. ^_^
