Chapter 2
Tadashi and his father were eating lunch in the hospital's food court when they found out the news. Tadashi's Aunt had called his father and frantically told him what happened. So, abandoning their food, they ran up to Tadashi's mother's hospital room, where everyone where a look of despair and hopelessness.
Tadashi didn't understand what was happening, and someone explained it to him in simpler terms. The news hit him like a truck. He had waited so long to become an older brother, and he was ecstatic when he heard he was getting two siblings. And now that they're gone, he felt all alone once again.
He wasn't the only one who felt the way he was feeling, obviously. The entire Hamada family was upset. The hospital staff checked the tapes, and found that someone snuck into the nursery and stole the twins, taking the stairs out of the hospital. The face hadn't been shown on the camera, so they had no idea who the man that had taken Hiro and Akari were.
Tadashi didn't know whether to feel hopeless, or grieve, he had barely known his siblings, and now they were gone.
He just wished he could see them again.
6 year old Leiko Tanaka and her parents were walking through the park. After an eventful day at the theme park, Leiko suggested they take a nice walk in the park. There were two reasons she wanted to do that, one, there was a playground in the park, and two, she knows her parents like to walk in the park.
Before Leiko could run off to the playground, the sound of crying caught hers-and her parents-attention. The sound was coming from a bush. Leiko walked over to the bush and spotted a set of twins crying in sync. Her parents walked behind her and gasped at the sight.
"Oh my gosh!" Leiko's mother exclaimed and picked up the baby girl, while Mr. Tanaka picked up the boy.
"Babies!" Leiko exclaimed.
"Yes, that's right Leiko. But why are they here?" Mr. Tanaka wondered.
"Perhaps they've been…abandoned," Mrs. Tanaka suggested.
"Can we keep them?" Leiko asked.
"No Leiko, we need to find who they belong to," Mr. Tanaka stated.
"They were just left in a bush! They could be anyone's!" Mrs. Tanaka exclaimed.
"But someone could be out looking for them," Mr. Tanaka argued.
"If someone were out looking for a set of newborns, then why were they in the bush?" Mrs. Tanaka asked skeptically.
Mr. Tanaka couldn't think of a response.
"Exactly. We can raise them. We did such a good job with Leiko," Mrs. Tanaka argued.
"Alright fine," Mr. Tanaka sighed in defeat.
"Akari," Leiko said.
"What?" Mr. Tanaka asked.
"That's what her blanket says," Leiko said, pointing to Akari's name on the blanket, "And that one says Hiro."
"Those names seem perfect for these two little bundles of joy. Don't you think?" Mrs. Tanaka asked.
"They do," Mr. Tanaka smiled.
With the park forgotten, the now family of five walked back to their apartment, preparing to welcome the new editions to their family.
No names yet for the parents, but I'm thinking pretty hard.
