Sleepless nights came and went for the new parents as they struggled to cater to their two new babies. Even though they had the extra help from Yoh's parents coming over, a very pregnant Kalia and other friends of theirs. (Horo really liked to help) Kalia seemed to use every chance she had to get out of her own house. Yoh was slightly suspicious of this but said nothing, assuming she just wanted to be part of their lives. Anna, however, was even more suspicious of her behavior, knowing her best friend. She also had noticed the bruises that had been appearing on her dear friend but quit after Kalia had denied them so many times. Anna figured that Kalia would come to her if she was really in need.
Kalia, on the other hand, saw no trouble in her relationship. Although her boyfriend sometimes hit her, he did with reasons, and he did have his good moments. It was moments like that that she lived for. Those were the reasons she decided to be with him, and to stay with him even through everything that had happened to the young couple. With the birth of her child drawing nearer all she could do was try and work things out Atrus to make sure the newborn's world would be a happy one. Even now she already had plans of them going to Tokyo Disney or Sanrio Puroland together as a family. She saw images of Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty, rides and balloons, cotton candy and popcorn.
Yoh enjoyed the chaotic lifestyle that came with being part loving father, part merciless Shaman King. Of the two titles he quite possibly preferred the one of loving father, the one that, at least in his mind, suited him best. He couldn't wait until they were old enough to greet him at the door running and jumping into his arms, calling him daddy. Before Anna had gotten pregnant he had never really thought about what it would be like to have kids but now that they where there he couldn't hope to live without them. He thought Haru and Sakura were the two most beautiful children in the whole world and wouldn't want anyone else.
Anna, however, felt slightly different from her husband. Although she did adore the two children she had in her home, she longed for the one that no one ever got to meet. She wasn't sure if she could ever recover from her loss. Now it was starting to sink in that only two people came home with her on that day, which now seemed like yesterday and forever all at the same time, although it had only been a month. In secret she had spoken to Faust to bring him back but the two decided that it would be a life too difficult for the child to handle. Although she did want to be with him she also wanted him to lead a normal life, which was not something he'd be able to do if Faust were to revive him. Everyone perceived her as being strong and, at most times, heartless. This was caused for a reason she did not wish to think about nor remember, but something that still haunted her to this day.
