Hi my wonderful readers!

I just uploaded this chapter but it did something really weird so I had to redo it all :(

Anyway, I figured that I get about 3 reviews a chapter (you know who you are) and I like that, hopefully you guys like this chapter, it's just a tiny bit shorter than other chapters but oh well.

Happy leap day! And happy birthday to all the leap year babies that may be reading my fics haha

Enjoy your day!

They ended up staying at the restaurant for much longer than they thought and by the time they were leaving Tsubasa was having some difficulties staying awake. Even Sakura and Mizu were holding hands and staying quiet as the five of them walked along the street back to the daycare where they parked their cars.

"Well this was fun, right Sakura and Mizu?" Gou asked while glancing down at them. They both nodded and rubbed their eyes.

Sousuke was already carrying Tsubasa who was fast asleep, "Ya it was. We should do it again sometime."

"I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm Tsubasa's therapist, I can't be having this kind of relationship with him, or you." Gou confessed.

Sousuke stayed quiet, "I guess that makes sense." He could bring Tsubasa to a different therapist in theory, but he didn't want him to think that Gou was leaving him too. Tsubasa seemed to have a bond with her already, he couldn't do that to him.

Gou's phone rang suddenly and the twins jumped in surprise. She looked at the screen and sighed, "Sorry I have to take this," She tapped the screen and brought the phone to her ear, "Hello?"

Sousuke looked to make sure that the noise hadn't woken Tsubasa up and then glanced at the twins who were watching Gou intently.

"Ah ya, we got sidetracked and went to a restaurant to eat," She paused, "Oh me, Sakura, Mizu, Tsubasa- He's a friend of theirs. And Sousuke, Tsubasa's dad."

Haru's eyes widened, "The same Sousuke?"

Rin's ears pricked up, "What?"

Haru held his hand out to silence him and listened to Gou's reply. "Sousuke was at dinner with them."

"WHAT?!" Rin roared and tore the phone away from his partner's ear, "Sousuke's there?!"

Gou held the phone away from her ear as Rin's shouts came from the phone, she was prepared for that. She chanced a look at the guy in question to see a smirk blossoming on his face.

"What? Yes of course he's being nice to me, what kind of ridiculous question is that?"

"Well last time you had an incident involving him it was because he left and broke your heart right?"

Gou blushed and avoided eye contact with Sousuke, "That isn't what happened! Anyway I'll give him your number so he can call you but I'm done with this conversation. I'm bringing the twins back tomorrow morning."

"Wait wait wait, before you hang up, why is he there in the first place?" Rin inquired. Haru leaned away for the information about to be unloaded onto Rin and the storm that was about to unfold in front of him

"Sousuke is Tsubasa's dad, the twins' friend." Gou stated and then hung up, unwilling to deal with him anymore. "Sorry about that, Rin and Haru were wondering how the twins were doing."

"No problem. Do you babysit for them often?"

Gou thought for a second, "About every second week, I love having them over."

She stopped in front of her car and loaded the twins in the back before turning to Sousuke who was still carrying Tsubasa.

"I guess I'll see you on Monday," Gou stated somewhat awkwardly.

Sousuke nodded, "And you're sure you don't want to do this again?"

She sighed and looked up at him through her lashes, "Of course I want to do this again, when I was seven you were the one who made me feel better about Rin leaving and I really trusted you. And then you left and, Sousuke! It's been five years and you're just back, like nothing happened." She paused, unimpressed with her own outburst, "I forced myself to move on from you, to stop staring at your name on my phone, stop hoping that it was you who was calling. And Rin was right pissed when you left, after he found out he wanted to beat you to death. It was different when you left after elementary school, you still called and came over sometimes, but I didn't have these feelings, I was 12." Tsubasa stirred and Gou put an ashamed hand over her mouth, "I'm sorry." She leaned down to look in the car to see the twins sleeping, using each other as pillows. "I have to go," She turn away.

"Wait, what feelings did you have?"

She couldn't look at him, "See this is why I never held it against you, but the more I think about it the more you don't deserve a way out. You left and that's fine but you didn't tell anyone, not even a good bye. And I was so caught up in figuring out exactly what I was starting to feel that I got hurt so much more than I should have." She opened the car door.

"But what were your feelings?"

She finally turned to look at him, "I fell in love with you."

As soon as the words left her mouth Sousuke's lips were on hers, Tsubasa safely tucked between them. Gou pulled back first very unsure how to react.

"You have no idea how much I've wanted to do that. I'm sorry I left and dropped off the face of the Earth, that was selfish, I didn't want to put myself out there. I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. And I know that our relationship has to stay professional but I wanted to do that just once." He confessed, "Please stay Tsubasa's counselor, he really loves you."

She cleared her throat, "Of course, I wouldn't want to leave him when he's so close to understanding."

Sousuke nodded and then took a step back, "I'll see you on Monday."

Gou laid both the twins down in their room at her house, "Good night you two. Love you."

She sighed and sank into her cushy couch with a glass of wine. Trying to understand her conversation with Sousuke was like trying to understand the physics of a cartoon, impossible. Was he saying that he had feelings for her too? Did he still? Gou couldn't remember if she kissed him back or not. She shook herself out of it, even if they both felt the same way right now she couldn't. It was against her morals as a professional, it was inappropriate to date someone who she was treating- or the parent of that someone.

Finishing her glass she decided to just go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. Gou briefly wondered when Mizu and Sakura were going to be picked up and then realized that she would have to deal with Rin and Haru's questioning.

HAI HAI! Hope you liked this chapter! Especially with that little kiss :*
