"Daaaah!" The baby cried out and could be heard throughout the mansion, then it followed with a loud thud and everyone flinched at the sudden noise and looked at the staircase that leads upstairs.

"Guess Eli was being wrestled by her kid again.." Maki chuckled and Nico and Nozomi giggled.

"It has always been like that for the past few weeks." Nozomi responded and the redhead turned to her,"Hooh..she got your nose though, Nozomi." "And she got Eli's hair color and your eye color." Nico added and Nozomi giggled,"And she got Eli's face shape, kinda made me surprise that she looked a lot like Eli like they are twins instead." Nozomi giggled,"But again, you just said that she has my nose, don't forget that she has my smile. Eli was also surprised that Elno looks exactly like her."

"Yeah, so when are you gonna tell her?" Nico asked and Nozomi stopped, looking down sadly, she gently clasped her hands,"I...don't know, I might tell her tomorrow.."

Maki's eyes softened,"Nozomi, you can't hide that forever you know..."

"I know but...I'm just scared.." Nozomi then covered her face with her hands and Nico moved beside her, giving her a hug,"Don't worry, we are here for you.." "If there's anything we can do for you then we will do it, just say it." Maki added and the purple-haired rose her head up,"Then will you promise something?"

The duo nodded.

"Please help Eli take care of Elno.." Nozomi smiled sadly and the duo just nodded with a smile.

"No problem." Maki grinned.

"You can count on us!" Nico put a thumbs up.

And after a moment, Eli then walked down with Elno in her arms, drinking her bottle of milk, Eli's hair was slightly messy due to Elno's maneuvers to her,"Ah! Hey Maki and Nico!" She then walked towards them and the said two looked at her,"Hey."

"Awwww, is Elno being bad to papa again?" Nozomi giggled as she gently took the baby from her father and cradled her. The baby just looked up at her mother and it just made Nozomi giggled because of her cuteness.

"Uwaaaa, she really looked like Eli!~" Nico giggled and Eli chuckled,"I was shocked about that though."

"I wonder what people will think once she grows up?" Maki wondered with a teasing smile and Eli pouted,"Heeeey."

"Probably be shocked because they get to see the Eli look-alike and they will just be like: You are Eli Ayase's child?! You look like her twin!" Nozomi laughed and Eli turned to her with a pout,"Stop it!"

"Well, it's true, anyway, why don't we all go out this Sunday? There's a new amusement park just nearby and we thought that Elno might enjoy it there." Maki stated and the couple blinked as they looked at each other.

"Well, sure thing!" Eli grinned,"I don't have much work to do anyways so I'm probably free at that day."

"Great!" Maki then stood up and walked over to Nozomi and Elno, kneeling down in front of her,"Hey there, little buddy."

Elno blinked as she stared at Maki emotionlessly.

Maki blinked also,"What is-"

Elno suddenly threw her milk bottle at her.

The redhead yelp as she caught the bottle and deadpanned the baby,"Do you hate me or something?"

Eli just chuckled,"She likes you that way."

Nico then looked at her watch that reads 5:30 pm,"Oh! We better get going Maki." "Ah, right." Maki then gave the bottle back to Nozomi and then went beside her lover,"Well, we should be going now." Eli nodded,"See you on Sunday!" The duo nodded before they left the house.

The blonde then sat beside the purple-haired and then kissed her head,"How are they?"

"Oh they are good! They are getting married too and took me as one of their bridesmaids." Nozomi giggled.

"Ohhh, I see, it was already obvious that I will be Maki's best man." Eli grinned and Nozomi nodded,"Of course."

"Now are you hungry? I can cook!" Eli said.

"Well sure thing, I was about to tell you that."

"Alrighty then!" The blonde then stood up and went to the kitchen, leaving Nozomi looking at Elno sadly but with a smile,"I never wanted to leave both you and papa but.."

Elno just looked up at her, listening intently.

Nozomi giggled,"Things are just...complicated.."

~The next morning~

Eli yawned as she rubbed her eyes while she, Nozomi, Maki and Nico walk towards the new amusement park. Elno was in Eli's arms, just playing with her stuffed toy.

They then finally reached the amusement park and began to explore around it. Eli, Nozomi and Elno went separate ways with Nico and Maki and told each other to just see each other at the front entrance of the Ferris Wheel.

The married couple sure did have fun and have Eli play most of the games, the blonde was great at those that she had won all the games and would give the prizes to Nozomi and Elno. Maki, on the other hand, is on par with Eli and would give the prizes to Nico.

Then came night time and the couples went to the entrance of the Ferris Wheel. They didn't ride it though since they have a baby with them so they just went home.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Nozomi was in the kitchen, just cutting some vegetables with her pale face, after a moment, her eyes widened when she felt dizziness that she had to put down the knife, she then stumbled back and held her forehead.

"No..not this.." She whispered to herself but the dizziness got stronger that she is losing her consciousness.

Until a loud thud could be heard..

Everyone rushed inside the kitchen and Eli's eyes widened when she saw the unconscious Nozomi,"NOZOMI!" She ran towards her and gently carried her,"We have to go to the hospital!"

"W-Wait Eli, you migh-" Lucia was halted.

"I'll be fine mom." Eli smiled as she rushed outside of the kitchen and went outside to go to her car, once she settled Nozomi inside, she rushed to the driver seat and started the engine, driving away.

"Lucy! Take care of Elno!" Randolfo ordered and the maid nodded,"Of course!"

Randolfo, Alisa and Lucia then went to another car and followed them.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Mr. Eli Ayase, your wife was diagnosed to Leukemia." The doctor reported to the blonde.

They were inside the room where Nozomi was confined into. Randolfo, Alisa and Lucia was also there.

Eli's eyes widened in shock, cold sweats started falling from her forehead, it felt like needles struck her heart a million times after hearing such news.

"D-Doctor..you gotta be kidding me!" The blonde shouted in panic and the doctor looked down.

"Her condition got worse...you won't like but..." The doctor took a deep breath before continuing,"She will die in a month.."

It felt like Eli's world was torn apart as she stood there in silence. The pain got unbearable..it felt like her heart was smashed by a large hammer.

The blonde looked at Nozomi who started to open her eyes.

"I will take my leave to give you space.." The doctor then gently left the room.

Lucia softly looked at her daughter,"Eli.."

"Mm.." Nozomi looked around,"Where am'I?"

"In the hospital...Nozomi...why didn't you tell me?" Eli asked, tears are already forming from the corner of her eyes. The purple-haired looked at her sadly but with a smile.

"Don't smile like that.." Eli's voice shook.

"Elichi...remember that marriage?"

"Of course I do.."

"Elichi, that was the happiest moment of my life...second to finding out I was pregnant.."

The blonde just stared down at her sadly, trying to not cry.

"Elichi...I didn't tell you because I was afraid.."

"Afraid..?"

"Yes..afraid that you would leave me...I can't hande that..." Nozomi's smile faded.

"Nozomi, I love you for who you are...you should have told me..so then I could prepare myself.."

"I'm sorry..."

the blonde sighed deeply and placed her forehead on Nozomi's.

"I have something to say too.."

Nozomi looked at her eyes.

"I was also diagnosed to Leukemia.."

The purple-haired's eyes softened,"Elichi..."

"I'm sorry too.." Eli smiled sadly at her and Nozomi giggled,"It's fine.."

"I will be dying in a year if I won't take care of myself...but I can live up to 7 years more.." Eli added.

"Until then..please take care of Elno.." Nozomi smiled sadly.

Lucia then went over to Eli and gently places her hands on the blonde's shoulder,"Don't worry, Nozomi, we will take care of her.."

The purple-haired nodded,"I guess I just need to spend my time here to the fullest?"

Eli nodded and kissed her forehead,"I love you.."

"Would you leave me?" Nozomi asked.

"No, Nozomi, I will stay with you..we will stay together...forever, Nozomi.." Eli answered and tears started to fall from Nozomi's eyes.

"I'm so glad to hear that.."

Randolf and Alisa just bowed their heads down in sadness.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Half a month passed...

Eli and Nozomi went to the field, the leaves of the tree are falling around them romantically but it seems that it is also sharing their sadness. The tree has about 3 leaves left..

Nozomi then laid her head on Eli's shoulder and the blonde wrapped her arm around the purple-haired's waist to support her.

"Elichi...my death is getting near.."

"I know.."

"Are you really sure you want to stay with me?" Nozomi asked worriedly.

"My answer won't change.." Eli smiled sadly as she just stared at the scenery in front of them as the wind played around with their clothes and hair.

"Really?"

"Nozomi...I love you so much that I couldn't find someone else...we will stay together Nozomi...together...forever.."

The purple-haired just smiled gently and leaned up to kiss her cheek weakly,"Thank you...for finding me..and for loving me.."

"Thank you too...for everything.." Eli grinned.

And they shared one more passionate kiss...
