Recap
Yuki was sitting on the bed, looking absently at his hands, Kyo sat next to him and gathered Yuki's hands inside his own and brought it up to his mouth for a kiss and gently brought Yuki's frame to lean on his chest
"Baby what's wrong?" and with those words, Yuki broke down in Kyo's embrace.
Chapter 11:
"shhh shhh" Kyo whispered at his started rocking their bodies "It's going to be alright, now tell me why you're so sad" he said gently
"two things" Yuki mumbled as his tears lessened
"Sweetie tell me about them" Kyo urged, he hated seeing his baby cry like this.
"Ke...*hiccup* ...Ken." Yuki started sobbing again. He slightly turned his body and laid his head in the nape of Kyo's neck.
"Shhh baby what about Ken?" Kyo spared a look to his youngest son; panic started welling up in his body
"It's all *sob* my fault, my baby *hiccup* he's in discomfort because of me" to say that was not what he expected Yuki to say
"Baby why do you think that?" he asked as he tried to calm Yuki back down, he was going to make himself sick. Yuki let himself calm down before he explained
"Hatori was watching Ken as he was sleeping, and he says that Ken has anxiety. He's been having anxiety attacks since we got here. It's entirely my fault!" Yuki explained quietly, somewhere deep inside him was scared that Kyo would blame him too and decide to leave him.
"Sweetie pie that isn't your fault" Kyo said soothingly "We'll just have to watch him more closely
"But we wouldn't have to if it wasn't for me" Yuki looked over to his sleeping angel "it'd be better if they were Tohru's children instead of mine" he whispered
"What! Where in hell did that come from" Kyo asked bewildered
"It's just that I've been causing you so many problems, and I even made our baby boy sick" tears started welling up as he explained
"Honey listen to me, Ken having anxiety isn't that bad. It could've been worse, but luckily he has something treatable"
"Bu…"
"But nothing" Kyo interrupted "right now all we need to do is make sure Ken is feeling comfortable and safe" Kyo kissed Yuki's head "and on the other thing, I chose you for a reason sweetie. There's a reason why I'm with you and not with her" Kyo tightened his embrace, hoping to chase all the insecurities away
"Really?" Yuki looked up hopefully
"Of course, there's a big difference between you and her"
"What's that?"
"I love you"
'AWW' Yuki was pushed Kyo down on the bed; he just laid on top of Kyo's firm chest, he felt so safe and loved in these arms. How could he have ever doubted Kyo's love for him?
"Baby why is this suddenly haunting your mind?" Kyo asked "does this have anything to do with you spacing out in the restaurant?"
"Umm…..well …" he looked up at Kyo and decided he better tell "I saw Ms. Honda"
"oh….where did you see her, and is seeing her making all these feeling come up?"
"Well sort of….plus she sort of told me you would be betterwithher" Yuki rushed
"She said what? Say it again honey, but slower this time" Kyo gave a slight chuckle
"She said that you would be better off with her and that if Ken was her child he would never have developed anxiety or anything else that's bad"
"That bitch" Kyo hissed, he made sure Yuki was looking at him before he said anything else "Sweetheart listen to me, she's wrong. She's just jealous because we have a beautiful family, we have four wonderful children, and our love for each other is just as strong as when we ran off if not stronger." Yuki started crying tears of joy
"I love you so much Kyo, and I'm sorry I doubted your love for me"
"That's alright baby, I love you too, and I'm never letting you go. You're stuck with me forever" Kyo declared
*Giggle* "I like the sounds of that, I never want you to let me go" Yuki smiled as he dried his tears. Kyo kissed the top of Yuki's head
*hmmm* they laid there for a few seconds before Kyo gently rolled Yuki off of him, before sitting up. He got off the bed and walked away, leaving Yuki lying on the bed. Yuki heard Kyo talking in a hushed voice
"Come here my sweet baby" was all Yuki caught from Kyo, but he didn't have to wait long to understand what was going on. When Kyo walked back, sleeping Ken was in his arms "Here you go sweetie, you'll be safe in momma's arms. Momma won't let anything happen to you" Kyo said as he gently laid Ken's sleeping body over Yuki's chest.
Yuki wrapped his arms protectively around Ken's body, he snuggled his sleeping son. Loving the small breaths he was making
"Yuki baby, I'm going to get the others ready for the pool"
"Okay, can you also bring down Ken's swimsuit in case he wakes up because I want to go down too"
"Sure thing, you two just lay there for now and rest, I'll come get you when were done" with that Kyo walked off to get his children (who were being so good) ready for the pool. "You ready to go down to the pool?" he asked
"Yes daddy" Yuuhei replied, Yukiko just cheered, they followed Kyo into the bathroom where the bathing suits were drying from the other night. He closed the toilet seat lid and sat down,
"Okay who's first?"
"Me, Me daddy" Yukiko jumped up and down
"Daddy I can get my own on" Yuuhei said
"Oh I'm so sorry my bad, sometimes I forget you're a big boy now" Kyo smiled as he handed Yuuhei's bathing trunks, so he could put them on. Kyo helped put the one piece suit on his daughter "Okay you two go back out, but remember be quiet" he placed a finger to his mouth after he said that. Once the two were out, he closed the door a little so he could put on his bathing suit. He grabbed Ken's bathing suit and all of their floatation devices, and left the bathroom. Yuuhei and Yukiko were back over to the little table playing quietly. Kyo walked out and put all the extra stuff ,along with some towels for everyone, in a bag before walking over to the crib where Kayla was waiting patiently; she was sucking her little thumb. He bent down and opened the drawer where her clothes were, he looked for the little girls bathing suit. He found the bright pink one suit
"You ready honey?" He picked her up and went to the other bed and laid her down to change her into her bathing suit. Once he was done he picked her back up and positioned her on his hip, he went back over to the other bed and gently shook Yuki
"Sweetie we're ready" Yuki had drifted off a little, but became aware when he was being shook
"Hmmm okay" Yuki sat up, Ken still in his arms, and followed Kyo and Kayla to the door where his other two children were at. Kyo picked up Kayla's baby flotation seat, as he walked to the door.
"Momma is Ken still sleepy?" Yuuhei asked, he grabbed a hold of Yuki's leg
"Yea baby, Ken is really sleepy" Yuki confirmed. Yuki walked out the door with his two sons first and waited out in the hall for the other three
"I told the others I would get them when we decided to go down, why don't you five go ahead" Kyo said as he put Kayla on her feet "go to momma sweetie" she walked unsteadily to Yuki. Kyo slipped the bag over Yuki's other shoulder keeping the baby flotation device; Yuki shifted Ken so he was resting comfortably on his hip, as he held out his hand to his youngest daughter.
"Good job baby" Yuki walked slowly along with his baby, so he suggested to the other two "Why don't you guys go push the button for us" he said encouraging them. They giggled as they both ran to the elevator, Yuki right behind him, but at a steadier pace. The elevator dinged open "Good job you two."
Pool
"Okay sweeties we have to wait till daddy gets here before getting in the water, so let's pick out some chairs for momma to sit in" Yuki said as he opened the door to the pool, it was a good time to go, there was absolutely no one in there.
"Momma" Ken said sleepily
"Oh hey sleepy baby, you awake now?" he was responded with a sleepy nod "Do you want to go swimming?" as soon as he said swimming, Ken was immediately on alert
"Yea mommy" he wiggled to get down, he was raring to go. Yuki walked over to the chairs Yuuhei and Yukiko picked out for them
"We need to get you changed first silly" he sat him down next to his siblings, who were basically godsend; they were waiting patiently beside him talking amongst themselves.
"Yuuhei can you hold Kayla's hand please?"
"Okay momma" he grabbed Kayla's hand, and when Yuki was sure Kayla would stay put he put the swimsuit down on the chair, so he could take Ken's clothes off. He kneeled down, when Ken's clothes were all off, Yuki grabbed the swim suit and brought it down to Ken's feet
"Baby lift your leg up for me" he tapped on Ken's right leg. Ken placed his hands on Yuki's shoulders and did what he was asked, and Yuki slipped half of the suit up "Okay now the other leg" he tapped on the left leg. Yuki pulled them up "alright baby all ready," he smiled as he looked up at Ken, Ken smiled brightly back at him.
Yuki stood up just as Kyo was walking through the door
"Hey handsome good timing" Yuki said to his husband
"I try" Kyo replied, he walked up to Yuki and kissed him on the lips "mmmhn" Kyo was going to go deeper but was interrupted by his son
"Daddy can we go in now?" Yuuhei asked, Kyo and Yuki broke away reluctantly
"Of course sweetie" he pulled off his shirt and threw towards the chair before making his way towards the pool, his children following him
"Wait wait babies, you need to put your arm floaties on" Yuki said as he went to the bag and pulled out the floaties, his children came back to him. "I can't believe momma almost forgot these"
"Siwwy mommy" Yukiko said as she shook her little head
"Hey Hey I'll show you silly" he gently poked her in the stomach, causing her to giggle. Once he got the arm flotations on the three older kids
Kayla came up to him expectantly. "Baby girl daddy has yours; you get a big flotation device!" She looked over to Kyo where he was in the water and saw what her momma was talking about; Kyo motioned for her to come to him.
"Okay you guys remember to always walk" he led his kids, who were waiting for him, to the pool. Yuuhei and Yukiko were the first ones in, Yuki passed Kayla to Kyo, who put her in the seat. Yuki smiled at his children when he noticed only three were in the pool, he looked over to the side of him. Ken was still standing hesitantly by the stairs; he walked the few steps over to Ken
"Baby what's wrong don't you want to swim?" Yuki asked, Ken only nodded his head as he looked at the pool. Kyo noticed his son's hesitancy and walked over to the stairs, bringing Kayla with him. She let out a squeal of delight as she moved through the water. Yuki looked towards Yuuhei and Kayla just to make sure they were keeping to the shallow end, and when he was satisfied that they were he looked back towards his youngest son, and crouched down next to him.
"Ken it's alright come on in" Kyo encouraged the boy, Ken looked at his daddy and then back to his mommy
"Mommy" he said quietly as he threw his arms around Yuki's neck. The other Sohma's chose this time to come walking in
"Oh is Ken still tired?" Ayame asked
"Hmmm I don't think so….I think he's not feeling well with the anxiety" Kyo said
"Anxiety?" Shigure asked
"Yea Hatori diagnosed him today" Kyo replied back
"Oh the poor baby, is that why he's so clingy?"
"Yea, the boys become completely mama boys when they don't feel well, they get super clingy" Kyo said as he raised his hand to stroke Ken's hair
"Ah I see" Ayame said. The others looked sadly at Ken before going to place their stuff on the chairs. Kyo walked over to his other two, with Kayla, to play with them. Yuki unwrapped Ken's arms around his neck and stood up; he walked over to his chair. Ken following closely behind him
"Mommy" Ken whined pitifully, he grabbed a hold of Yuki's hand
"Just a minute baby, let me take off my shoes" Yuki said as he took off his shoes. He turned around and started walking back to the pool. The others were already in the pool swimming and playing with his other children; Kazuma was sitting on the pool edge with his legs in the water at the shallow end. That's where Yuki led himself and Ken towards. Seeing as he was wearing shorts, he just sat down and put his legs in the water. He brought Ken towards his side, "do you want to go in the water right here by mommy?" Yuki asked. Ken looked up at him and nodded; "Okay" Yuki picked Ken up and slowly lowered him in to the water right in front of him. Ken immediately had a huge smile on his face, but he placed a small hand on his mommy so there would be no chance of being separated from him.
"Baby show me your swimming skills, swim from grandpa to me" Yuki encouraged his son. Ken looked up at his mommy and nodded his head
"kay momma, I swim good" he let go of Yuki's leg and paddled the short distance to Kazuma's legs. "See mommy I did it!" Ken smiled brightly
"Way to go my baby boy" Yuki praised his son, Ken paddled back to Yuki.
"There are the most wonderful children I have come acrossed, you two have done good" Kazuma said, Yuki blushed at the compliment
"Thank you shishou"
"Please it's high time you called me dad"
"That would mean a lot to me….dad" Yuki replied. Kyo chose that time to walk over with Kayla
"Hey you guys"
"Hey"
"Hey daddy" Ken said has he continued to paddle back and forth
"Hey buddy, are you feeling better?" Kyo asked, Ken nodded his head
"We'll give him the medicine at dinner time" Hatori's voice came out of nowhere, everyone jumped in shock.
"Hatori don't scare us like that" Momiji chided
"Sorry" came the monotone reply from him, he walked over to an empty chair and opened a book he was carrying and started to read.
"Umm thank you so much Hatori" Yuki said to the man
"No problem Yuki" his gaze softened as he looked upon the little boy swimming between Yuki and Kazuma.
The Sohma family enjoyed their time in the pool; everyone was getting along so well.
Ken had tired himself out by swimming back and forth; he held onto Yuki's leg and preoccupied himself with kicking his legs in and out of the water. He found that hilarious, Yuki and Kazuma couldn't help but laugh as well at the boy's actions.
"Mommy when dinner time?" Yuuhei asked as he swam towards Yuki
"Are you hungry sweetie?" Yuki asked
"A little" Yuuhei shrugged
"Okay sweetie, we can go to dinner, so let's get out" he grabbed Ken and lifted him up. Ken let out a startled squeak, "Oh baby boy I didn't mean to startle you" Yuki brought the boy to his chest to hug the boy
"It okay momma" Ken placed his hand on Yuki's cheek. Yuki took the hand into his own and kissed it.
"Thank you baby" he sat Ken down next to him and motioned Yuuhei to get closer "come here my big baby"
*giggle* Yuuhei swam to the ledge where his momma was, and let himself be picked up out of the water.
"Let's get you two dried off before you catch a cold" they walked over to their chairs where he pulled out the towels and handed one to each little boy. "Okay dry off really good"
"Kyo" Yuki called out to his husband
"Time to get out?" Kyo replied back
"Yea, Yuuhei is getting hungry"
"Alright, come on you two you heard momma time to get out" he said to his daughters with a smile. He saw Yukiko was being helped by Haru, so he pushed Kayla over to the edge, debating how he should get her out
Yuki started walking over to the pool so he could get his baby girl, but stopped when he heard Ken's little whine
"Momma" Ken started to rush after him, but before he could Yuki stopped him
"Baby I'll be right back, I'm just going to get your sister, stay with your brother" he gave Ken a little smile, before turning back around to pick Kayla up out of the floating chair.
"Thanks" Kyo said as he picked up the flotation device and climbed out of the pool.
"No problem" they walked back to the chairs together, when Yuki got close he felt little arms wrap around his leg "Did you dry off really good Ken?" he felt the little head nod against his leg. He moved a little bit so he could sit on the chair, he placed Kayla down so he could dry her off. "Did you enjoy the water sweetie?" Yuki asked Kayla
"Mama" *giggle*
"I'll take that as a yes" he dried her off the best he could before wrapping the towel around her body. He picked her up in his arms and shifted her so she was resting comfortably on his hip; he brought his other hand out and gave it to Ken.
"Baby hold my hand" Ken unwrapped his arms and took his momma's hand. "Is everyone all dried off?" Yuki asked his other children
"Yes mommy" the two chorused, when he made sure all of his children had their towels wrapped snuggly around themselves he said;
"Alright lets go back to our room, and take a quick bath before heading off to dinner"
"Mommy it has to be wery qwick bwth" Yukiko said seriously, all the adults chuckled
"Alright sweetums I promise"
"We'll come get you when were ready" Kyo said to the others, as he walked with his two children towards the exit
"Sound great, we'll be waiting" Momiji said excitedly. They left the pool area; quickly walking through the lobby as fast as little chubby legs could go, in order to get ready for dinner.
