Ch. 26

When Naoki and Sahoko got home there was a sourness in the air. Not saying a word Sahoko went to the room and slammed the door. Sighing Naoki went to the guest room which he was starting to call his. Flopping on the bed he thought about everything that happened towards the end of the dinner.

After Yuki's comment things had settled into an award silence until Mr. Irie started to make more conversation. "So Sahoko, how is your family's company doing?"

"Our productions have actually been increasing much lately due to my employs work, but if your company doesn't need our money we could pull out, that is if you want us too," stated Sahoko slightly glancing at Yuki

"Well even if we are doing pretty well for right now, I still want us to have some back up money just in case," stated Mr. Irie also glancing towards his youngest son.

"Well if you ever feel the need just let me know," she spoke before taking another bite of her food.

Dinner was mostly small talk with some conversations here and there. Sahoko was even able to get a little out of Yuga asking him what he liked to do. Naoki could see that Ayu looked like she was feeling left out, as Sahoko was only ever talking to Yuga or the other adults.

"So Ayu, now that we know you are as smart your brother what do you like to do?" Asked Naoki smiling at the young girl.

"I like to play doctor with my dolls, plant flowers with my brother, and practice math problems," the little girl said smiling back.

"That's so cute," exclaimed Sahoko. "You must want to take after your mommy." Through the way she said it, Kotoko was getting aggravated. The children and the Irie brothers could feel the tension in the air.

"Actually, I kind of want to be a doctor, just like you Naoki," the girl beamed at him. "Mommy is going on how great being a nurse is, but she said there's only so much that nurses can do. It's doctors who are the ones that can truly save lives, and they have a special way of leading other doctors and nurses."

Naoki couldn't help but smile, "Well in a way she is right, but nurses have a special way with their patients that most doctors don't even have. That's why we have nurses, to keep patients happy in their care." Naoki slightly glanced to Kotoko who had a small smile on her face.

However the peaceful moment was soon interrupted. "Well it's nice that you want to at least take after your mother wanting to go into the medical field," stated Sahoko.

Soon dinner was over and Naoki and Sahoko left. "Well that went well," everyone just looked at Yuki. "What, too soon?"

Naoki could feel that his wife was not happy, but he knew if he had kept in his pants none of them would ha… No, if he had chosen… No matter what he knew everything was fault, but he would do anything for those kids. Naoki just hoped that Sahoko would understand his wanting to be involved in the little girl's life.

However, as he thought about he was happy that not only did Ayu want to be doctor, but that the thought of working with Kotoko was probably going to be nicer than he thought.

"So how do you feel dinner actually went?" asked Yuki as they washed the dishes.

"I think for some reason Naoki is the dog house again," Kotoko stated, which was actually a fact. "As for the rest of it I hate to say this, but I wanted to strangle her. How she treated me and my daughter it was almost like she was insulating me, and I have no idea why but I felt like she was ignoring my daughter; or that she was down grating her because she was my daughter."

"Yeah I got that too, but don't worry about it," said Yuki. "She's just probably jealous because you have two kids, and she doesn't. But you know what, don't worry about that, think of the nice day you will have with your kids."

"Yeah," she said smiling at the thought of having a nice family day with her and her kids.

Hers.
