Ch. 7

Catching a glimpse at the boy was nothing compared to now fully looking at him. Naoki could not believe that the boy that was standing in front of him was an almost exact replica of him. Looking at Kotoko he could already tell that she thought the exact same thing. 'It must have been a little hard on her, still seeing my face for the past few years,' thought Naoki.

He was soon brought out of his thoughts when the mother introduced the son and father for the first time ever. "Naoki, I would like to introduce your son, Yuga. Yuga, this is your birth father, Naoki," said Kotoko. Yuga could hear all the emotions in his mother's voice, and squeezed his mother's hand. Naoki heard the same thing and also wanted to comfort her, but he knew the pain she was feeling was from him. When he looked at the boy, Yuga was glaring at him the way his mother was looking at him not to long ago.

To ease the tension in the room Naoki thought it best they sit back down and talk. "Why don't we sit down and talk for a bit," said Naoki motioning to the seats. Not saying a word Kotoko and Yuga walked past Naoki without saying a word and sat down. Taking a deep breath Naoki went over and sat in the chair again while the mother and son took the couch.

Surprising the adults Yuga was the one who broke the tension in the room. "So, is there anything you want to ask me?" Yuga said to his, father.

Naoki smiled a little, "That's what I was going to ask you," said Naoki.

"Well mom already told me a lot about you," said Yuga. Naoki was shocked and looked at the woman who was shocked as well. She looked nervous and embarrassed; it was almost like looking back at the old Kotoko he used to know.

Naoki took this time to tease her like he used to. "Oh and what did you tell him about me, hmm, Kotoko?" Naoki liked seeing Kotoko blush out of embarrassment.

Yuga saw his mom blush and how his, father, was looking at his mother. This of would have been the perfect time to tease his mother, but he didn't won't his fa- Naoki thinking they were having a bonding moment, at least not yet. However he didn't mind getting to the man.

"Mom told me about when she first introduced herself to you, and how she came to live with you and your family," Yuga said enjoying the expression on the man's face. "She told me how you ignored all the girls who proclaimed their love to you, and how you said you didn't like stupid girls." Naoki had a feeling Kotoko would say something negative about him; after all he did ditch her. "She also told me stuff about when you were a kid and your mom dressed you up like a girl; and that's how she blacked mailed you into helping her study."

At that moment both parents went pale. Yuga smiled at his accomplishment getting a little of his feelings out. He then decided to give the man a break; after all not everything his mother said about him was all bad. "But she also said you had you moments where you were nice, and how you helped her without being black mailed. When your father got sick you took charge of his company, and putting your dream aside to keep it going." That was all he could say, for now.

Naoki was happy that Kotoko said positive things about him, but he wasn't so sure about that last one. "Well since you know a little about me, you can tell me about yourself," said Naoki with a little smile.

"Well I like flowers and," Yuga started to say, but he remembered some other things his mother told him. He knew Naoki taught his mother to play tennis, and that the man had an IQ of 200; Yuga too was also good at tennis for his age, and he was real smart too.

His mother could tell what he was thinking as half the stuff Yuga was good at so was Naoki. She pat her son's should letting him know she was here for him. The boy smiled and his mother continued. "I'm really good at tennis and very smart as well. The day I learned about you I decided to become a florist like my dad. I'm also very protective over my mother and sister, especially now."

Naoki was very sure now that Yuga was his son. Just the way he was talking about himself almost sounded like him. He was happy to know, even if was due to him, Yuga already had a dream early in life.

"I think it's wonderful that you plan to take after your father," said Naoki smiling at the boy. "And I want to let you know you don't have to afraid about talking about him in front of me. The same goes for you Kotoko. I'm happy to know you found someone new to love."

Kotoko was happy and surprised to hear Naoki say that. She still in a little way wanted to talk more with him, but knew now they were going to have more time to talk now, especially now that Naoki knew everything.

Yuga was feeling a little better talking to Naoki now, but now he wanted to talk to him alone. "Mom can I talk with Naoki alone now?" said Yuga. Kotoko looked down at her son unsure. She could see that her son had a little more to say, and was determined to talk to his real father about something. When Kotoko looked up at her old love he just nodded his said saying okay.

"Okay, I guess," said Kotoko giving her son a small hug. "I'll be right outside if you need me," she whispered in his ear.

After Kotoko walked out the door Yuga began what he wanted to say. "I want to let you know that I promised my dad I would attempt to have a bond with you, but I still don't plan to call you dad." Naoki, even though he was disappointed to hear that his son didn't want to call him dad, he was happy to know that he would attempt to have a bond with him. He was more thankful to Sara for asking his son to bond with him, and for taking care of both his son and the woman he should have never given up.

"I also want to let you know that, even though she may never say it, I think she has forgiven you," said Yuga. Naoki was surprised at hearing this.

"What makes you think that?" asked Naoki looking curious.

"Every night when I hear mother pray, I always hear her ask for you to have happiness."
