Chapter 4

Kotoko's POV

Lying on her daughter's bed, stroked the hair of the little girl and watched as she snorted in her quiet sleep, distant from the problems that afflicted her parent's world and threatened her simple life...

Began to reflect on the same question that made to her husband: "How we arrived where we are now? The truth is that not even I know answer this... The impression I have sometimes is that we are too different to be together, but it's just look to my little princess that I understand what hold us together..." – Smiled – "Her personality is the join of both of us... Determined and affectionate like me, intelligent and objective like your father: you are the best of two worlds, my baby, and it is the proof that mommy and daddy should be able to get along well with each other... Oh honey, will you get a little brother or a little sister? God, I really would love another kid, a little boy that was just like his father as Mi-chan is my face... But not now, not now that all I feel is that we are from different planets, that is, reality has always been in front of me and I refused to see: A class F student could never be with a class A student... Well, it looks like we got the miracle for a few years at least, right?!" – Let the tears fall down her face, the room's silence and darkness matched with the cold empty that feel in her soul. This time the cry wasn't desperate, the pain that her heart carried was already deadened by the years... It was only a resigned, conformed cry... She cried for the end of something that never should have begun...

Naoki's POV

Lay down on the bed that shared with his wife, felt the side on where she slept cold and lifeless and started his own reflection about the last events... "I am not the sentimental type, I don't like to dealing with anything that disturbs my logical thinking... Celebrate anniversaries and things that are not simply result of a hard work don't make sense to me. Very different from Kotoko, who seems to have no logical thoughts at all..." – Smiled at this thought – "Yes, she has always has been very different from me... Clumsy, confused, hasty, always making scandals and calling attention for things without meaning... She is daydreaming at all times and mixing it with reality, it is even annoying... But at the same time, this is what makes things interesting... I can't remember how was my life before her anymore because in fact I didn't live, it just existed... Everything was simple, easy and so extremely boring! God, I don't want even remember how obvious was every little thing that would happen in the day... Now at any moment I can hear a yell from that crazy woman God knows why, or even in the middle of the night... How many times I already woke up hearing her scream or talking in her dreams, and thinking that really happen later? I never know what she is doing or thinking... She and her friends already follow me a lot of times and, even without know the reason, It's so funny hanging around just to make them get lost or simply let they know that I know that they are there and see them get desperate for being discovered..." – The smile died on his lips at the reality in front of him – "Kotoko, how can't you see that I love you more than anything in the whole world? That you and Kotomi are my life, don't you see that?" – Sighed, It was not the time to desperate himself, he had to do what he did best: think. "First a timeline since we got marriage, now the main fights..."

After almost a whole night of work, he developed a graphic scheme about his marriage, with all the information about their main fights and all the advice that had received...

"Okay, analyzing all that I can understand that she doesn't believe that I love her, because she says that in all the fights... Besides, it's very clear that anniversaries and all the imaginable celebrations are very important to her, while I never paid any attention to this since obviously don't make any sense...

Considering all this and plus the things that my mom Said, I can conclude that the problem isn't forget the anniversary of this year, but the disinterest in all these years that already past, and this was what made her think that I don't Love her... Why does she put so much importance in these things? It is obvious that we are happy together or we would be divorced already, but it is seven years of pure happiness... Wait a minute, that's it! She doesn't want to celebrate the marriage itself, but the fact that we are together for all these years, now this make sense... Inclusive all the hurt and anger that she is feeling, after all she thinks that I feel compelled to celebrate our relationship all this time, when in fact I fell like the luckiest man in the world... And in the end I came back to the scratch: I have to show that I love her but I don't know how... – Sighed – There is no other way, although I don't want to admit, there is only one person that can help me...

-Morning, grandma!

-Morning, Mi-chan! Come on, sit here and take your breakfast, I need to talk to mommy okay?

-Okay! – And with a smile the little girl starts to play with the cookies in her plate.

-Kotoko, Naoki ask me to tell you that he needed to go to the hospital early, but he asked to you meet him in the roof at 17:00 o'clock for you two talk... And be calm that I pick Mi-chan at school all right?

-I don't know... Things are very difficult between us lately, what happens in our anniversary was the last straw for me...

-I know my dear, but you need to have patience, my son loves you, he just doesn't know how to show very well... But you knew that when marry him, don't forget, because he won't and shouldn't change now, don't you think? It would be so unfair! – Giving a Kiss in the forehead of his daughter-in-law ended – Come on dear, smile, everything is going to be fine! Now it is better the two of you go because we don't want you to be late, right?

Still surprised by her mother-in-law's words, Kotoko finished packing her daughter and left, reflecting on what the older woman had said.

-Keita, can I talk to you?

-Of c-course, and what is about Dr. Irie? – Said the nurse, startled... "He barely says "Hi" to me, what the hell he wants now? "

-Come to the roof, please, it is quiet there and we can talk more calmly...

-Okay... It is about Kotoko, isn't? - '"It can only be this... "

-Yes.

"What he wants? I know that he's still very apprehensive after what happens in college, and I don't blame him, after all, I kind of asked his wife to be my girlfriend... But regardless of this, as a brother or boyfriend I'm still better for take care of her than him" – Smiling at this thought, realized that they arrived at the roof and make the question that was on his mind... " So, What you need?"

- I need your help...

- What do you mean?

-Look, I know that you and Kotoko are very close friends now, so I have sure that you know that we are going through some problems...

- Yes, I know, and she is suffering a lot, by the way... But I still don't understand how I am in this history...

-Listen, I really don't deal "the best way possible" in this kind of situation, okay? Ask for help to you already is my last hope so please, don't make this more difficult than the necessary for me... Look this – Taking the papers that he had created on the last night starts to explain to the brunet, that kept himself from laughing – Understand: I created a timeline with all the information about our marriage, but end up at the point zero when the only solution that I came was that I have to prove that I love her, because she believes in the opposite, since I do not show interest in celebrations all these years, but I don't know how and... Why the hell are you laughing?

- I thought that you are a jerk, treating her like that, but in fact you are just a big idiot that don't know how to deal with women, aren't you? – Keita continues to laughing and talking at the same time – Alright, I'll help you, but we won't talk anything of this to her, understand? Besides, I will go to explain just fill things to you, the rest is between the two of you, okay?

-Alright, thank you!

-I do this for her... Now come on, throw away this thing and give me your hand...

-My hand? I can't see how this can help, if you don't...

-Give me your damn hand and you will understand...

Shrugging, Naoki held out his hand when, suddenly, Keita took his own up and slapped Naoki's hand, leaving it extremely red.

- Hey, that hurts! Are you crazy?

- Put your hand there again and stop to complain that you will understand.

-But what will you...

- You want to be with Kotoko, or not?

He reached out again, this time a little more attentive, but even with Keita's warning "I'm going to hit you now, so dodge!", it was no match for the first's speed, and Naoki took an even tougher slap in his hand...

-Ouch! What is your problem?

- Put your hand again that I'll hit you even tougher...

-What?

- Just put your hand quickly, I'll explain to you later... Come on, I will hit you and you need to dodge...

-Okay, but after that I want to understand...

- I'll hit you after three, so dodge! One... Two, it's next huh... Three, now!

-Despite Keita's speed, Naoki dodge easily what, of course, it already was expected for both of them

-Very good, you finally dodged, huh?!

- Right, wonderful... But for what this shit was for?

-Calm down Mr. Genius, let's see if you understand now... Why I can hit you in the first time?

- You caught me off guard, I didn't know you were going to hit me...

-Exactly! And the second?

-I wasn't expecting that too, you warned me very suddenly...

- Great! And the third?

- It was obvious that you will hit me, you make this so clear that even warned me the moment... But what does all this have to do with my marriage?

-You are absolutely right, you dodged because I told you so... Now, think about the last two months, imagine that each time you acted in a loving way, said an "I love you" or did something Just to please Kotoko was a slap, how many slaps you have?

- I don't know, fifteen maybe...

- Fifteen? I think that was less, but still, in sixty days... Hmmm, this means that nearly each four days you make something that let your wife know that you Love her. Now tell me, if you could only dodge in the third slap and with so many warns, you think that she fits in the first, the second or the third time that I hit you? How much can she say that you Love her?

- I am understanding what you are saying... And couldn't you explain that without hit me? I would understand!

-It can be, but that way it was a lot more funny... – And smiling, complete – for me. Besides, I don't think you really understand the gravity of it, you only understand things through facts and numbers, so let's put this way: You had ten points when you married, if you get to zero you lose your wife and daughter... This number increases or decreases according to the things you say and do, and for all that you told me, you should have to points, at most... Understood now?

-This time I really know how serious are the things Keita, or I won't be here... And for the first step, I would like to apologize with you for all these years, you really are a nice guy... I have sure that you understand my position...

-Now, this is a truly surprise... Of course I understand man, it's water under the bridge... I Love Kotoko like a sister, and it is just that. Believe me, I like you and now I really know that you love her, if you can get her to rate at the third slap, that is, that she have sure about you love for her, you guys will be fine! But you need act quickly Naoki, or you will lose many important things.

-I know... Thanks Keita!

Smiling, Keita finishes the conversation – You're welcome! And by the way, whenever you want to get a beating you can call me! – Smiling even more, winked and left without wait for an answer.

-Dr. Imanishi? Can I come in?

-Oh, Ms Irie, long time no see... what can I help you?

- Thanks for wasting your lunch time with me doctor, I am having some symptoms like headaches and sudden changes of mood, this last it is what my friends say, but I thought it was better talk with you in the same way for we can confirm or not a new pregnancy.

- I understand, in fact these really are symptoms of pregnancy – Said the smiling doctor – And don't worry, it is a pleasure help a coworker, principally because I already accompanied Mi-chan, right? How is she?

- She is great, thank you!

-Wonderful! Come on, I think it's better we do the test of urine and tomorrow we can confirm with a blood test, okay?

- Actually, I'm still fasting, I was so anxious that I already came prepare for the exam... – Smile with guilty.

-Alright then, we can make directly the blood test, but try be careful Kotoko, pregnant or not, this isn't good for you!

- Thank you doctor, I promise that I will take care of myself! And sorry for ask you this, but could you make all this with my maiden name? I don't want to give false hope in home and don't want that Naoki found out before we have sure...

- Of course, no problems! Write your name in this block before you leave, right? Come on, let's collect your blood, the result will be ready today so come here at 05:30 p.m and we'll talk.

-Thank you so much doctor!

-And with her heart in the mouth, she accompanied the doctor to make the exam that, she knew, would change her life.

"I'm entering in an emergency surgery right now and couldn't meet you at 17 like the planned, but please wait for me, I want to take you for dinner so we can talk."

Stared at the phone, would she understand the situation? It wasn't been cold, rude or thick was it? Should complete with an "I love you"? No, he had to say this for her personally...

-Doctor Irie, we are ready, please be quickly – called the head-nurse.

-Damn it, I don't have time to think... – Naoki send the message and went to prepare himself for the operation, oblivious to the automatic message that the little device reproduced on it's screen: "Failed to send the message".

"He definitely thinks that I'm some kind of idiot, it doesn't possible... It's already 17:15, I knew that I shouldn't have come... I will leave this cold roof and see doctor Imanishi, and as soon as he confirms the pregnancy I go home, search for single mothers... – Smiling at the irreverent thought, she goes to see the doctor that was waiting for her, with a serious expression on his face...

- Come on in dear, sit down, please...

- Is everything okay with the baby doctor? You seem worried.

-Well Kotoko, I don't know how to say that to you, but... well... There is no baby, your symptoms are due to stress, probably... I'm so sorry honey.

- That is okay doctor, another child would be wonderful, of course, but if it is not possible this time... It is alright...

-So good that you think this way Kotoko, I'll come down then, but be sure to get help for this, right?

-It is okay doctor, I am already talking with doctor Nishigaki, Naoki cares a lot for nonsense so, could you please don't comment with him? If it is something more serious I'll say it myself, but I would like to know what it is before.

-Of course dear, no problem.

-Thank you doctor.

-You are welcome Kotoko, and give a Kiss in Mi-chan for me.

-Waving, Kotoko left the doctor's office more sad than she expected, the truth is that she hadn't realized how much she wants another kid, how much she already loved this "child"... Besides, she was restless - "If I am not pregnant, what will I have?"

A.N: And that was the fourth chapter, what you guys think?

I have to say that I just hate this chapter for myself, was the worst in the whole story I think... You know when you think that everyone will think that something is funny, and right after you talk you realized that is a completely nonsense and only you think that is funny? It is my feeling about the Naoki and Keita's conversation... Hope you guys think that's funny too, but I don't believe you will... Sorry for that =/... I really thought in change this of the original fic, but I promise to myself that I will translate exactly how I write in the first place, 'cause this is part of my evolution like a Pokémon, I mean, like a writer (I know, another joke nonsense and without funny but, come on, what will be life without that jokes huh? You guys don't think in Pokémons and Digimons when you hear evolution too? I know, I really should stop, but I can't... You still love me, right?! )

Tatistus: Muito obrigada pelos votos, te desejo tudo em dobro! E muito obrigada por acompanhar a fic.

Rockxy: Wow! I'm really glad that you like it so much, I really will do my best to update more often! Now the story became interesting!

Kisses and hugs (XOXO?) and until the next week!
