AN: Just a short Christmas bonus 😊 It's a shorter chapter, all flashback but I hope you enjoy it
Chapter Forty Three
Daddy always has a way of making Mommy have that huge smile on her face at Christmas. He always tries to do whatever she wants and he spoils her. I think that's what a prince does. At least in all of the books that I've read, that's what a prince does. This year we are spending time in Tokyo and going to Kyoto for New Years. There are some very pretty places here.
"Rose," Daddy says as he comes up to me with that huge grin on his face and I laugh happily before he scoops me up. "Are you ready to go to an amazing restaurant?" he asks and I see Mommy holding Ana in her arms. Ana's the youngest so she can be babied. I'm the big sister.
"Are you sure that it's okay to go there?" Mommy says eagerly and Daddy turns to her with a raised eyebrow. Yeah, is she serious? Daddy put this all together so it must be a lot of fun.
"It's home. I've arranged for some guests and yes, I did make sure to pay them for the expense but they would only take a small bit of what I offered. They love you but not more than I do," he says and Mommy looks at him with a look to say that she knows that already. Nobody loves Daddy more than Mommy. Nobody loves Mommy more than Daddy.
"Okay. Don't eat more than you feel comfortable with because you're attempting to impress Taisho again," Mommy teases and Daddy laughs before getting my shoes.
"I'm excited," I tell them and Daddy hugs me.
"Well, it's worth all of the excitement," he tells me. "These people are very important to Mommy. You've met them before but I don't think you would remember them. Okami-san has always been kind to us and then Taisho…let's say he's a guy who's worth trying to impress," he laughs awkwardly. Mommy has one arm holding Ana to her shoulder and the other is on her hip.
"You don't have to go so far to impress him. I know that he intimidates you. He's one of the few people who intimidate you, Kuon."
Daddy laughs and I run to get my coat and my shoes. Daddy said that today we get to celebrate Mommy and he arranged a special meal. I hope the food is special too. Mommy always says that this food is amazing and yummy. We leave to go out of the hotel room we're staying in. I like Tokyo a lot.

As we drive up to the restaurant, I see that there are lots of colorful signs and balloons. There are also Christmas stars and snowflakes but no pictures of Santa or penguins or reindeer. Daddy parks the car and as Mommy gets Ana from her car seat, Daddy comes to take my hand. I love holding Daddys hand.
He walks over to Mommy and puts an arm around her. Ana blinks and looks around, sleepy as always. As we take a couple of steps towards the restaurant there are a lot of people who appear. I remember some of them, the acting boss, Maria, Koko or Moko, and lots of other people and Uncle Yashiro. There's a large cake in the middle as well and then they all call out together.
"Happy Birthday, Kyoko-chan."
