Chapter 56

"One plus one equals two, right Papa?"

"That's right."

"Papa…where's daddy?"

"Still sleeping sweetie, Daddy doesn't have a lot of energy these days."

"Can you blame me? It's so bloody hot and when you look like this it's worse. I hate July. Yukito is free at least. Another healthy baby girl named Michiru."

"Well learn to deal with it, we have to go shopping. You rest."

"Oh no, I'm coming, I need some fresh air."

"Fine fine, but you have to take it easy! Come on Mystic, let's go for a ride."

"RIDE RIDE RIDE!"

~#~

At the store, Mystic had wandered off to get something sweet for her and her daddy to share and nearly jumped ten feet in the air when someone spoke to her.

"Hello little one, are you lost?" Yuui bent down to look at the little girl. There was something about her that looked familiar. "Where are your mommy and daddy?"

The little girl dropped the package of cookies she was carrying. "PAPA!"

Yuui stood up and watched as she padded over to a familiar figure, but it couldn't be, with that short of hair. Yuui approached the girl's papa. "Subaru?"

"Hmm? OH YUUI! HI! How was Italy? We got the message that you and Syaoron got engaged." So it was Subaru. He had cut his hair, it made him look older.

"Papa! Scary stranger!"

Subaru smiled. "Sorry about her, she's nervous."

"What's her name?"

"Mystic."

"Hello Mystic." Said girl tried to hide behind her papa's leg more.

A pair of arms lifted Mystic up causing the toddler to yelp in surprise. Yuui noted a gold band around the man's left ring finger. "Now Mystic, no need to be so shy, now is there?"

"DADDY THAT WAS MEAN YOU SCARED ME!" She reached up with her tiny hands and tried to remove the man's sunglasses.

"Seishirou? Is that you?"

"Who else would it be Yuui? You think Subaru and I fell apart? Never."

Subaru turned bright red. "SEI-KUN!"

"It's not that, I just heard rumors about you getting badly hurt while on duty."

"Oh that…I'm just on…." He gritted his teeth. "Maternity leave."

At this Subaru giggled. Seishirou wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of missing work and being waited on hand and foot. He was a very independent man.

"Subaru are we about finished? My head is spinning and my feet are killing me and I feel…fai—"

"Sei-kun!" Subaru had caught his husband who had passed out. "Yuui you have to help me get him to St. Mungo's."

"You take him, I'll take your daughter to..."

"Take her to Hokuto's shop in Diagon Alley, it's number 79. If her or Kakyou aren't home take her to 14 Seaside Lane. That's Kamui's place. If he's not home just bring her to St. Mungo's, I'll meet you there! Mystic you'll be safe with Yuui. He's Fai's twin brother, you know Fai? Sora's daddy?"

Mystic nodded as her daddy was levitated onto the stretcher and then out towards the car.

"Come on little one, let's see if your aunt or uncles are home."
