Another Reason to Smile

Fujitaka shouldered open the door to the apartment to find sweet music playing and acrid smoke drifting lazily out of the kitchen.

"I'm home."

"It's okay. I'm happy just coming home to you and Touya."

"And Sakura, too, 'tou-san?" His son asked anxiously from the piano.

He looked at Nadeshiko, smiling at him with her hand on her stomach.

"And definitely Sakura, too," he agreed, pulling his wife and new daughter close.
