CHAPTER 13

45 minutes later: Setsuna is standing at the gate to the school with Masago in a sling waiting for Hotaru. 10 Minutes later Hotaru runs up to Setsuna with a new friend "Setsuna-mama!" Setsuna looks at her "hey girl who's your new friend?"

Hotaru smiles "this is Marie she just moved in and it's her first day and the teacher put us on a project together. Do you think Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama would mind if she came over so we could work?" Setsuna smiles "I don't think they would as long as you behave."

Hotaru smiles and looks at Masago "is she asleep?" Setsuna nods "just fell asleep a few minutes ago." Hotaru smiles "well let's get to the car do you need to go anywhere else Setsuna-mama?"

Setsuna shakes her head and they all head to the car and Setsuna carefully puts Masago in the car seat as Hotaru and Marie get in. Once Masago is in Setsuna hops in and drives home.

When Setsuna pulls in she sees Haruka working on her bike. Setsuna gets Masago and goes over to Haruka "Hotaru brought a friend over they have a project they are going to work on." Haruka stands and looks at Marie "how long has she known her?"

Setsuna sigh "she just moved here be nice Haruka I'm going to go put Masago down and catch a nap is that ok?" Haruka nods "yeah you still feeling a bit sick Setsuna?" Setsuna nods "not that bad I'm still up with her at night I think she's coming down with something to."

Haruka nods "see you later then Setsuna." Hotaru comes over to Haruka "I hope you don't mind Haruka-papa it's a last minute thing I would have called otherwise."

Haruka nods "it's ok Hotaru as long as you're not too loud I don't care when you bring friends over." Haruka then smiles to Marie "your family just move in here then?" Marie nods "yeah a few days ago I started school today."

Haruka smiles "this is a good town to live in its real safe." Marie nods and looks to the door when Michiru comes out.

Haruka looks over at Michiru "have a nice swim love?" Michiru smiles "yeah and who is this?" Marie bows "I'm Marie Hotaru and I are paired on a project together."

Michiru nods and Hotaru hugs Michiru "how are you Michiru-mama?" Michiru hugs her back "I'm fine lets head inside and I'll make you a snack then you can get to work."

Hotaru nods and she grabs Maries hand and leads her inside followed by Michiru and Haruka. Once in Michiru heads to the kitchen while Hotaru and Marie head to the living room and star working.

Haruka then comes in the living room "Hotaru I'm heading to the store did you need anything?" Hotaru shakes her head "no I good Haruka-papa." Haruka nods and leaves as Michiru comes in and sets the food on the table "here you guys go

Hotaru I'm going back to the pool let me know if the baby wakes up ok." Hotaru nods "ok Michiru-mama have fun." Michiru smiles and heads back out to the pool while Hotaru and Marie begin working again.

A few minutes later Masago and Haruchi begin crying. Marie looks at Hotaru "how many babies' are in the house?" Hotaru stands "my two sisters come help me please" and they both then head to the nursery. END CHAPTER 13
