"Just keep your eyes closed okay?"

"Haruo, I'm holding our baby while walking down the hallway to our room. What if I drop her?"

"You won't drop her, just keep your eyes closed."

Yuko groaned, "Fine, but you better not have a pie shoot out of the door and hit me in the face."

"No, it's not that, I promise." They then stopped, Haruo then opened the door, he took her inside and stopped her halfway through the door.

"Can I open my eyes now?"

"No, not yet."

"..." Yuko sighed and waited a few seconds, "Now?"

"Okay, now."

"Thank god." Yuko opened her eyes, the room was mostly the same, but in the center of the room was a baby crib. She gasped and smiled at it, "Where'd you find this?"

"Well, since Haruka was born the guys and I have all been working on this industrial crib. It's guaranteed to last for a while," he took her over to the crib, "The mattress is soft so she should be comfortable." Yuko looked down at a blue mink blanket.

"What's this?"

"That?" Haruo looked at the blanket, "Oh, that's mine."

"That's yours?" She asked confused,

"I mean, it used to be mine. My mom found a storage room and inside was some baby stuff of mine, that blanket was my baby blanket. After a few runs through the wash and doing some new stitching and sewing it's good as new."

She smiled, "Well that's sweet of her, tell her thank you." Yuko then looked at Haruo, "Was there any OTHER baby stuff of yours?"

"Some photo albums, some old bottles, a stuffed bear."

"Photo albums of my baby Haruo and you didn't bother to bring them up?"

"I wasn't...the most attractive baby."

"Come on Haruo, I saw that home video of you the day you were born, you were adorable." She then laughed, "Granted you weren't born with your typical bad guy face."

"Bad guy face?"

"That's how Akira described your face and I thought it fit well."

"Alright,"

Yuko smiled, she then placed Haruka in the crib. Yuko smiled at her, Yuko suddenly helped as Haruo picked her up around the waist, "Haruo! Put me down!"

"Okay." He then took her to the bed and laid her down, he then got on top of her. He then looked intensely into her eyes. She swallowed nervously. Haruo then then grabbed a pillow and gently hit her in the face, "Ah! You've got me again!" She grabbed the pillow beneath her head and hit him in the face, Haruo then fell onto his side, he quickly pulled Yuko towards him and proceeded to tickle her, "Ah! Haruo no!" She said in between squeals and laughter. Eventually he stopped tickling her and he just looked at her, she smiled and looked back at him. He then rolled on top of her and the two of them started kissing. Haruo then lowered himself onto his forearms and he ran his fingers through her hair. He then pulled away and smiled.

"I've missed you."

"I've missed you too, I bet it's been lonely here at night."

"Yeah."

"Haruo..."

"Yeah?"

"You aren't going to leave me now are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well...I know I'm no longer as thin as I used to be...or as beautiful..."

Haruo frowned, "Yuko, Yuko look at me, you're beautiful." He smiled, "I'm in love your eyes...your pretty brown hair...your smooth natural curves..." Yuko blushed, "AND THESE!!!" He then planted his face in between his breasts. She let out an Umph followed by a laugh.

"Haruo you pervert!" He then looked back up at her, he started to kissing her and she kissed back. "Mmm~" Yuko hummed as she placed her hands on the sides of his face, he then kissed her cheek and started to kiss her neck. Yuko let out a soft gasp. "I like this side of you...but I like I real you better."

"What are you talking about? This is the real me." He said, "At least it has been since I met you, since we came aboard this ship, since Godzilla does, since our daughter was born. Our life is perfect and I couldn't ask for anything better."

"Mhmm, sure." She said with a smile, he then stopped kissing her neck and looked at her.

"What?"

"Nothin" She said shaking her head, "I just didn't think I made you feel this way."

"There's a lot you don't know about me."

"Oh really? Like what?"

"You'll find out someday."

"Hmmmmm, how about today?"

"No."

"Oh come on Haruo, do you really not remember what today is?"

"No, is it your birthday?"

"No," she smiled, "It's the anniversary of our first kiss. Remember?" He thought for a minute,

"Oh, yeah, of course. I totally remember."

She snickered, "No you don't."

"I do."

"You don't."

"I do," he smiled, "I believe, we were in this position. It was late, and we were in our little house in the tribe."

"Haruo! No! That was not the first night we kissed!"

"I don't know, that night was pretty magical to me."

"Of course it was you pervert." She said with a laugh, she bit her bottom lip, "You know, I think I've forgotten about what went down that night." She then leaned into his ear, "Maybe you should help me remember~" she then playfully bit his earlobe.

"Are you sure? I think Haruka is watching."

"She's asleep, she's not gonna find out, and even if she does who will she tell?" Yuko asked as she kissed his neck and pulled his body close to hers.

"Miss Tani, are you trying to seduce me?"

"What are you talking about? You're already seduced~"

Meanwhile Kazuya was in the gym. He was pummeling the punching bag as hard and has fast as he could releasing all of his anger. He sent a right jab to the bag, as he pummeled the bag he kept seeing X's face, his smirk, his visor, everything. Kazuya screamed and delivered a powerful punch to the bag. The bag swung and snapped off the chain, it then flew against the wall and it burst open causing sand to go everywhere. Kazuya quickly covered his eyes, he then dusted sand off of him and growled. Not that there wasn't a punching bag anymore he turned his attention to other things. He put as many weights onto the bar as he could before he laid down on the bench and started to lift. He lifted with difficulty but after a while it became easier, little did he know that he was lifting 400 pounds. After a while he stood up, he then put the bar on his shoulders and started to do squats. After a while his muscles started to burn and his bones started to shake. He grunted and then continued to lift, he kept lifting for a while until his body couldn't handle it. He screamed and then threw the bar behind him and it came crashing onto the floor. Kazuya took a few breaths to steady his breathing.

He walked to the exit and grabbed his shirt off the chair next to the door. He then walks down the hall to the shower room, he removes his clothes and then started to shower. He runs his fingers through his hair and shuts his eyes. He then heard X's laughter in his mind. He grits his teeth and let's put a quick scream and he punches the wall in front of him. Kazuya winced as a piece of the wall flew off and cut him just beneath his eye. He wiped his face of blood and shut off the shower. He went to the dressing room and got dressed except for a shirt, he carried the shirt with him and went to his room. He walked into his bedroom and then sat down on the bed, he then looked across from him at the table. On there was the tablet and it was glowing, he walked over and picked it up, he turned it on and found a video file. He then turned on the video file and saw Umika. She cleared her throat and then smiled.

"Hi Kazuya," she started, Kazuya swallowed and then went and sat on the bed and continued to watch, "If you're finding this then...I'm probably dead, and it's okay if I'm dead, because I'm doing it to protect the one I love the most. That's you." She adjusted her hair and then looked at him again, "I know, tonight is the night everyone is going to go out and fight X and probably bring humanity to safety. And knowing me...I sacrificed myself to save you before you got yourself killed like the hothead you are." She laughed, "Um...look...even though you don't feel the same...I need to tell you what you did for me. When I was a little girl...humanity was starting to run out of food rations, I started to starve myself because I wanted to save everyone else. One day I was just so hungry that I needed to eat...anyways...some girl came along and helped me get food, and that was Kairi, Kairi became my best friend...and little did I know it, but I think she was in love with me at one point." Umika then sighed, "Kazuya...when I met you, everyone told me to stay away from you. I didn't know why but I found out because of who your father was. I didn't care, I liked you and I wanted to know you. When we came to earth to fight Godzilla I asked to be put on your team...I spent time flirting with you, getting to know you...and eventually falling in love with you. You gave me a sense of hope that one Day humanity would get back on its feet, I know from the bottom of my heart that you're the man for me." She then laughed and started to cry a bit, "My strong, sexy, Godzilla fighting knight in shining armor. I love you Kazuya Mafune. I wish I could've been with you longer. No matter what life I'm in...my heart always belongs to you, you're the light of my life. I love you so much." She then put a kiss on her hand and then held her hand up to the camera, Kazuya felt tears escape his eyes, he kissed his hand and then placed it over hers on the video. "Take good care of Maina okay? Name your first daughter after me if you want." She laughed, "I love you Kazuya."

And like that the video ended. Kazuya grit his teeth and clenched the tablet tightly in his hands. Tears fell down his face onto the screen. "I'm such an idiot..." he said to himself softly. He then placed the tablet on the bed next him, he clenched one fist and took his other hand and ran it through his hair. Soon Maina walked in the door, he looked up at her. Her glee kind of softened and she walked over to him, he sat up and she then sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Okay?" She asked, he smiled.

"Yeah Maina, I'm fine." He placed his hands on her waist.

"Maina heard scream."

"Yeah, I was just letting off some steam in the gym. I'm okay seriously."

She glared intensely at him, "No."

"I am," He said with a smile, "I'm fine Maina, everything is alright."

"No. Not alright." Maina sighed, if she was going to open up to anyone on this ship it would be Kazuya, "Maina scream when upset."

"Why are you upset?"

"Maina lost people."

"Who did you lose?"

"Friends." She said, she then sighed, "Boyfriend."

"You had a boyfriend?" She nodded,

"Maina wasn't always mad."

"You didn't always glare like that?" She shook her head,

"Maina smile all the time. Not anymore. Maina hurt."

"You're hurt...yeah I understand feeling hurt, being hurt is not fun."

"Maina acts tough. Maina actually soft."

"Yeah me too."

"..." she paused, "Maina love Kazuya."

"I love you too."

"Maina won't lose Kazuya. Right?"

"Yeah, you aren't gonna lose me. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere I promise."

"Good." She glared, "If Kazuya leave, Maina kill Kazuya." Chills ran down Kazuya's spine.

"Yeah, I'm not leaving. Not going anywhere!"

"Good." She then rested her forehead on his and closed her eyes.

Haruo laid breathless next to Yuko in bed. Yuko rolled over and placed her hand on his chest, "Wow..." she said, "For having as many injuries as you do you still cease to amaze me."

"Yeah." He then took his hand and grabbed onto hers and squeezed it gently. "Was this your way of telling me you want another baby?" She giggled.

"No, I don't think I'll want another one until we've actually settled down and aren't in a post apocalyptic world."

"So when we return to Okinawa?"

She then laughed, "That's not at all what I meant you goof."

"That's what I heard."

"Mhmm, of course it was." She sighed and rested her head under his chin.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something..."

"What is it?"

"You know Hanabi right?"

"Yes."

"What if she came to live with us?" Yuko froze,

"Why?"

"Well...me and her have actually talked, she's scared, she's broken...she thinks the only family she has right now is me."

"She needs to learn that her parents are here."

"Yuko I'm serious," he then rolled onto his side and looked at her, "You didn't see the look in her eyes, she's genuinely terrified of our parents, she doesn't trust them and she doesn't want them anywhere near her. She trusts me."

"Haruo...I don't know..."

"What do you mean you don't know? She's family."

"Yes, she's family, but she's extremely rude to the family she already has!"

"Yuko put yourself in her shoes. She's been living here on Earth alone for the past 20,000 years! She was left here and had no one to turn too, no one to cry on, no one to comfort her. Could you not imagine what that's like?" Yuko sighed, she then rolled onto her side facing away from him, "Yuko talk to me."

"I just don't trust her is all Haruo...when she held Haruka I was terrified that Hanabi would kill Haruka or even kidnap her...I don't want to live with that fear my whole life." Haruo sighed, he wrapped his arms around Yuko and pulled her close to him, "What if we wake up one day...and Haruka is gone..."

"Hanabi is not going to kidnap Haruka."

"I know I just...that thought scares me...doesn't it scare you?"

"It does...it scares me a lot. Since she was born I was always scared that someday she wouldn't be there anymore." He smiled, "But look over there right now, Haruka is laying there asleep in that crib, no one is coming in to take her. You're here with her and I am here with her too, as long as we have each other nothing bad will happen. I promise."

"...what if you don't fly back to me one day...?"

"Yuko I can't fly, what are you talking about?"

"Haruo, stop." She said, "I know Alright?"

"You know what?"

"Your secret...what you've been keeping from me for a while," she sighed, "That hint that comes and fights monsters, that's you. Zone Smasher and the other one is Hanabi."

"Yuko how did you know...?"

"I had my suspicions...eventually Naomi told me herself." Haruo sighed, "How long did you think you could keep that from me Haruo?"

"I don't know."

"Well..." she groaned, "Why? Why can't we just have a normal life?! I'm happy we have Haruka, but I would have loved to have had a normal pregnancy! I would have loved to just spent the rest of my days in Okinawa with people that all care for me and-"

"I care for you..."

Yuko pasused, She then sighed and rolled over and faced him. She kissed his lips softly, "Of course you do. I just..." she sighed, "I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me..."

"Are you okay?"

"...I don't know..."

"What's going on?"

"...I just want to live in a world where there are no monsters...a world where everyone is human..." he then kissed her forehead, "I can still hear it..."

"Hear what?"

"The Nanometal...I still hear the noise t makes in the back of my mind...what if something like that happens again and you can't save me..."

Haruo sighed and wrapped his arms around her, "Don't worry. Nothing like that will ever happen again as long as I'm alive." He held onto her tightly, "I'm going to get our world back." Suddenly some wheezing was heard in Haruo's mind.

"Finally! I made it..." Mothra's voice came, Haruo smiled and almost started laughing, "I was not meant to crawl over mountains...so what did I miss Haruo?"

"Not much," Haruo spoke back to her telepathically, "A crew member of ours died."

"I'm sorry..." Mothra huffed, "Well...I'm just going to take a nap right in between these two buildings here..."

"Sleep well."

"Thanks..."

After a moment of silence Haruo then started laughing. Yuko looked up at him and smiled, "What's so funny?" She asked,

"Mothra just got here."

"Awww poor thing, has she been following us this whole time?"

"I think so."

"Awwe."

By nightfall Haruo had walked down to Hanabi's room. He knocked, she opened the door. "Hey..." she said softly.

"You alright?"

"Still a little shaken from getting my cage rattled by X...plus my back hurts..."

"Your back? What part?"

"Like right on the curve, but I'm fine, I got some pain killers from the medical bay and hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow."

"Alright,"

"What's up?"

"Just been thinking,"

"About what?"

"You."

"...Haruo I'm flattered but I'm your sister."

"That's not what I meant."

"I know, I was kidding."

"I'm worried about you, you took a pretty nasty beating."

"So did the rest of us...you didn't see him, he was fast, and strong, he could take all of us at once."

"I know, what do we do about this?"

"Well, I am going to sleep, and YOU are going to sleep, and we will figure it out in the morning."

"Okay," He said, he then paused, "Do you need help with your back?"

Later Miana was walking down the hall to the cafeteria to get a drink of water. She then heard moans of pleasure as well as some grunting, she walked to outside Hanabi's room and put her ear against the door. She heard some moaning and then she heard voices, "Oh Haruo~ Mmm~ Aaah~"

"You're too stiff Hanabi...loosen up a little!"

"Mmm~ Okay~"

"There you go...you're getting better."

"Mmm~ Haruo~ I'm so close~"

"Almos there...almost there!"

"Haruo~"

Miana froze, she swallowed and looked at Hanabi's door. She backed away slowly and then ran back down the hall to her room. Meanwhile inside Haruo had his hands into fists pressed against Hanabi's back, while Hanabi was laying on the floor. Hanabi started to breathe heavily.

"Wow..." Hanabi said, "You're a miracle worker with your hands...where'd you learn that?"

"Space..." he said a little winded, "You've been holding too much stress in your back,"

"I'm 20,000 years old and have never seen a therapist what did you expect?"

"I guess you're right..." Haruo then stood up and helped Hanabi off the floor, "Feel better?"

"Yeah, a lot better thanks!" She said stretching out her back.

"Good, if you ever need help with your back again then let me know."

"Okay."

Haruo then walked out into the hall, he turned and saw Miana down the hall trying to get back into her room. "Hey," Haruo said, Miana turned and made awkward eye contact with him. She swallowed and blinked slowly. Haruo waved and then turned and walked down the hall back to his room.

A/N

Heyyyy!!! A bit of a slow down before we pick back up again and get to the juicy stuff!!!
