Chapter Thirteen
After a quit, or really giggly dinner, Fuu and Ferio sat down on
the couch with Suu.
The sun was just setting as Suu sat happily in Fuu's lap. Suu
drooled on the remote control for the tv while making baby
noises.
"I could get used to this." Ferio said as he nuzzled
Fuu's neck.
Fuu sighed happily. "Me too."
Suu grinned bearing what few white teeth she had. She looked up
at Fuu with her bright green eyes.
"Mama," Suu said still grinning. She looked to a wide
eyed Ferio. "Dada."
Fuu clapped ecstatic. "She said her first words!" Fuu
cried.
Ferio's eyes remained wide. "Oh man. She called me 'dada',
can you imagine me as a dad?"
Fuu smiled. "I sure could."
Ferio smirked. "But I can't be a father without a wife to be
the mother."
She smiled. How she wished she could be his wife. To be their
child's mother...
"Whatcha smiling about?" Ferio asked.
Fuu blushed. "I was... Thinking about being a mother."
"Ah." Ferio said softly.
"I think to much, ne?" Fuu said with a sigh.
"Heh. And you still find time to read my mind." He
joked playfully.
She kissed him on the cheek.
"It's a wonder that I can put up with you."
Now it was his turn to laugh.
"I bet you'd make a great mother. Look at how much Suu likes
you." Ferio said softly in a whisper.
Fuu looked down and realized that Fuu had fallen fast asleep
snuggled in her arms.
"Or else she got so bored with my talking that she fell
asleep." Fuu said with a smile.
Ferio grinned.
Fuu gently stood up cradling Suu in her arms.
"Such a sweet baby," Fuu whispered.
"Wouldn't have heard that two days ago." Ferio said as
he snickered.
Fuu put Suu in her crib and smiled. Taking care of Suu with
Ferio's help made her feel warm. It gave her a glimpse at the
future she hoped for. It was like being cradled in peace.
When she returned Ferio was flipping channels.
"Would you like to watch a movie?" She asked.
"As long as you sit next to me." Ferio replied.
Fuu laughed satisfied by his answer.
"Um, do you like movies with car crashes?"
Ferio blinked.
"Guess you wouldn't like guns either..." Fuu trailed
off.
She then spotted what she thought was the perfect movie.
"Ever After".
"This is a sweet romantic movie." She said.
Ferio shrugged. "Anything is good, so long as you get your
butt over here."
Fuu popped the tape in and then sat down next to him on the
couch. Ferio smiled and pulled her into his arms.
"You feel so perfect in my arms." Ferio said as he ran
his fingers through her hair.
"I know." She purred.
Fuu fell asleep in his arms, listening to the sound of his
beating heart. And there the two spent the night in each others
arms.
**************************************
Fuu's family returned that morning to find the couple on the
couch. They were all more than surprised...
"Aren't they just so kawaii though?" Kuu said as she
held her hand over her heart.
Fuu began to stir. She looked up at Ferio's sleeping face.
"Fuu, what on earth is going on?!" Fuu's mother said as
calmly as she could.
Fuu jumped up. "Mother!"
Fuu's mother nodded.
"This is not as it seems. Ferio has been helping me with
Suu-chan. He is a good friend also. We fell asleep on the couch
after a long day of watching Suu."
Ferio woke up due to all the noise.
"Uh..." Ferio said as he tried to rub the sleep out of
his eyes.
Fuu's mother looked Ferio up and down. Just then Suu began to cry
and Ferio quickly excused himself to check on her.
"I am glad you are all well." Fuu said slowly.
"I"m not sure I like that boy. He looks like the kind
to get into fights." Said Mrs. Hououji.
"Your mother said the same about me." Said Mr. Hououji
with a smirk.
"Ne...." Mrs. Hououji trailed off.
Ferio returned with a giggling Suu.
"She's taking a liking to you."
Ferio smiled. "Some day I want to have a family with your
daughter Fuu."
Fuu turned red, a shade of red you didn't know existed.
Ferio handed Suu to Fuu's mother.
"With your permission sir, I'd like to marry your daughter,
Fuu." Ferio said to Mr. Hououji.
Mr. Hououji looked to his wife, who had a mixed feelings sort of
look in her eyes. But then he looked at Fuu's eyes. There was
something in her eyes, a starry yet pleading look. The same look
Mrs. Hououji had in her eyes when they were young.
"Yes," Mr. Hououji replied finally.
Ferio bowed. Then he turned to Fuu and got down on one knee.
He pulled a ring from his pocket, a simple yet studding pure gold
ring.
"Fuu Hououji, will marry me and make me the most happy man
in the world?"
Tears filled Fuu's eyes. "Yes Ferio, I want to spend forever
with you."
