Years passed, 5 to be exact, and Gou got over it, simply dismissing it as another Rin Australia thing and now she was a very successful early childhood educator and childhood therapist. She specialized in helping young children get over loss or abandonment and she was very good at getting through to the children and helping them understand what was happening around them.

"Miss Matsuoka?" A friendly voice asked from behind her. Gou had run past the reception desk with a bagel in her mouth, running late for an appointment. She stopped and retreated back to the receptionist.

"Yes, Yanako-san?" She asked hurriedly.

"I just wanted to ask you if you could take Hana-san's 3 o'clock appointment. She can't make it and it's a new client so there's no data anyway. It's a young boy, Tsubasa-kun I believe."

Gou swallowed a mouthful of the bread and smiled, "Of course! Saya-chan finished her therapy so that slot has been open for a while now."

Yanako gave her thanks and then told Gou to get to her appointment before she was really late.

Three pm rolled around sooner than she wanted and the nerves bundled up that came with a new client.

She heard a knock on the door, "Come in," She responded calmly.

"It's just me," Yanako said and opened it, "Tsubasa isn't here yet, I just wanted to drop off his folder. Just a bit of family data and basic background stuff." She explained and placed it down, "I better go to make sure they are greeted. I believe his father is bringing him."

Gou nodded and Yanako left. Taking a quick look she skimmed through the words on the page, she liked to learn things about the children from them, but it did help to know trigger points and things to tread lightly on. Another knock was heard just as her eyes wandered to his full name, printed neatly at the top of the page:

Tsubasa Yamazaki

The door opened, and her head snapped up to watch the broad shouldered man walk into the room holding the hand of a small dark haired boy. The breath caught in her throat and she had to force herself to stay calm and keep the eye contact. Standing from her desk she put on a smile and purposely looked to the child.

"Welcome, you must be Tsubasa," He looked up from his position in utter terror before relaxing slightly, most likely due to Gou's natural motherly nature. Then she pointedly looked to Sousuke who had finally gave a glance in her direction.

She walked around the edge of the desk and kneeled in front of Tsubasa trying to get to his height, "Are you ready to have some fun?" She asked him cheerfully and his lips curled into a microscopic smile. She then rose to her feet and tilted her head to meet Sousuke's gaze. "Hello Yamazaki-san." She said simply and moved on, "These are some of the papers that you are going to have to look over and sign while I have the session with Tsubasa-kun. You are welcome to sit with his first session but we do recommend against it as children tend to open up and not rely on their parents when they aren't around. That being said we do ask you stay in the building, as sometimes a child might need the comfort and it usually calms them knowing that you are right outside the door if they need you."

"Of course, Matsuoka-san," He said, a little taken aback by her business professional side. He hadn't seen her in 5 years and obviously a lot had happened but he couldn't help but feel like she was treating him coldly.

"Now Tsubasa-chan, why don't you say good bye to daddy and we can play a game," She asked him.

Tsubasa looked up at his father then back at Gou and nodded, releasing his father's hand and taking a step closer to Gou.

"Is there anything I need to be made aware of? Allergies, medical conditions, habits, etc." She asked Sousuke casually while leading the child towards the couch and table with board games set up on it.

Sousuke didn't miss a beat before answering, "I don't know."

Gou had finished settling Tsubasa down with a few race cars and a small track and she stared at him, "How can you not know?" She gasped at her condescending voice, "I didn't mean to say it like that, forgive me, I think I just need some more information on the subject." She turned to Tsubasa once more, "Sweetie, do you mind if I have a talk with daddy before we talk?" He shrugged and continued playing but frequently glanced in their direction.

Sitting at her desk she gestured for Sousuke to sit across from her, "I think we need to talk. How long have you been in Tsubasa's life?" She knew it couldn't have been that long, however it was enough time for Tsubasa to become trusting of him.

"His mother dropped him off to be about 3 months ago. I didn't even know he existed so imagine my shock," He chuckled dryly. "His mother was one of my old girlfriends from college and she left promptly after giving him to me. His daycare advised I bring him here after an episode one day."

Gou nodded along and tried not to take on a pitying look, he was so obviously lost with a child. "I see, so you were recommended to come here. That usually signifies that something is seriously wrong. Now Yamazaki-san, do you believe he needs help?"

"I think he could benefit from it. He's not a bad kid but he needs some guidance and I don't know how to provide it for him." He said honestly.

"I think that's all I need to know from you. The rest I'll get from him." She said and kindly asked him to leave while Tsubasa waved to him.

Sousuke sat in the lobby, he had no idea he would ever meet up with Gou, let alone that she would be his kid's therapist. Seeing someone from so long ago made his head spin and reopened old wounds making dead feelings rise into his chest again. Why had he ever left her?

An hour later Sousuke was being hugged by little arms and he couldn't help the smile from seeping through.

"Yamazaki-san, I do hope you continue to bring Tsubasa to me," Gou said sincerely and then addressed Tsubasa. "Hey sweetie, let's play and talk lots more next week, okay?"

Tsubasa then hugged Gou around her neck and nodded vigorously.

Gou headed out at 4:45 pm, going towards her brother's house for dinner and to tell him exactly what happened today. She was still trying to wrap her head around the idea of Sousuke being a father, what was he even doing now? Did he go to university? She wanted answers but she wasn't there to give him therapy, she was there solely for Tsubasa, and for Tsubasa his world consisted of his mother for the first 3 years of his life and after he was roughly thrown into the incapable hands of Sousuke, she left.

No wonder the kid had some problems. He spent his entire life only knowing one thing before it was taken away from him for him to never see it again. She felt bad, but the way he trusted Sousuke instead of shunning him was comforting. At least it meant Sousuke was trying.

She arrived and knocked on the door only for Haru to open the door and two little figures jump out from behind him.

"Auntie Gou!"

"Auntie Kou!"

They both shouted and she bent to give both her niece and nephew a big hug.

"Mizu, Sakura. Mind your manners," Haru said expressionlessly.

"Yes daddy." They said and stumbled back into the house to whatever they were doing before.

Gou walked forward and gave him a hug, which he awkwardly tried to return, then bounded into the house herself looking for signs of her brother.

Rin and Haru had been together for as long as Gou cared to remember, and just last spring they had successfully adopted Mizu and Sakura, the crazy twins as the agency called them. Mizu, the girl, had dark pink hair and always seemed to rile her brother, Sakura, up even more than he did to her. Rin always gave into their childishness while Haru had an unsurprising calming effect making them perfect together.

She found her brother laying on the couch with the twins in front of him on the floor playing a racing game on the TV.

"Hey Rin," She said casually and sat near his feet watching as the twins played dirty to get ahead of each other. Haru sat next to Rin's stomach and her brother instantly put and arm around his waist making Gou smile at the two of them.

In the end she decided not to tell them about her encounter with Sousuke, either for their benefit or for hers she didn't know. All Gou wanted to do was go home and curl up in bed.
