Shigure and Nightingale were setting on the couch, snuggled up and discussing plans for the wedding and the room for the baby, as well as their life together. Tohru and Mimi were upstairs in their room talking and playing card games. Kyou was at Shishou's and Yuki was out with Suki.
"I don't want the traditional blue for a boy and pink for a girl." Nightingale said, speaking of the baby's room.
"Then what do you want?" Shigure asked.
"Well, if it's a girl I want a pastel purple and a very light yellow." Nightingale answered. "And if it's a boy, I want a foresty green."
"I like those ideas." Shigure replied and kissed Nightingale's cheek.
Before Nightingale could say anything else, there was a knock at the door. Nightingale got up to answer it. She opened the door and saw her father and two other young men standing in the door way. A smile spread across her face as she realized who they were. She ran to them with her arms wide open. They pulled her into their arms and hugged her.
Shigure walked by and looked out. "Uhm, hello again Mr. Green."
"Hello, Shigure." Robert, greeted with a smile.
Nightingale pulled away from the young men and took their hands. Then she led them inside, pushing her father in as well. "Shigure, these are my older brothers, Matt and John. Guys, this is my fiancee, Shigure."
Shigure reachhed out his hand and shook both of her brothers' hands. "Glad to meet you both."
"Glad to finally meet you." Matt said.
"Yeah, Nightingale's been keeping you hidden all this time." John said.
Mimi and Tohru came down the stairs just then. Once Mimi saw her brothers she took off running down the steps and into their arms. "I'm so glad you guys are here!"
They all walked into the living room and sat down. Nightingale and Mimi's family visited for quite some time. They talked and laughed. Nightingale was so happy to have her dad and brothers close by. After a while the visit had to end.
Nightingale and Shigure got ready for bed and then snuggled up together. "Your brothers seem quite a bit older than you. Your mother must have stuck around for quote a while."
"Actually, they are only my half brothers." Nightingale replied.
"By your mother or your father?"
"By Daddy. He was married before. She died." Nightingale answered simply. "It was cancer."
"That's terrible." Shigure said and pulled Nightingale in for a hug.
"It is. She was a wonderful woman."
After a short time, Nightingale fell asleep in Shigure's arms. He watched her sleeping form, a soft smile was on her face. She mumbled his name a few times in her sleep and then snuggled closer. It wasn't much longer before Shigure joined her in the peaceful sleep.
A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been having issues with writer's block. I hope you all enjoy this chapter even though it is quite short (sorry about that too). Please read and review
