Chapter 12: Life is great

5 years later – Riku's POV

'Celeste! Time for school!'

'Yes mama!'

My name is Riku Niwa. I'm 23 years old. I have a husband, a 5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and one on the way. I run a fashion shop called Winged Heart. I fell in love in middle school, love came true in 1st year high school, I didn't finish high school, because, let's just say life became hectic. The father of my husband, tried to kill my first born and abused me. He was arrested and charged life sentence in jail. He deserved it! Life as it is now is great! And I wouldn't have it any other way.

'Come on Celeste! Let's go! You're going to be late for school and mama's gonna be late for work! Let's go!' I yelled to my 5 year old, first born child, Celeste Niwa. She was sitting in front of the TV, like every morning.

'Come…Coming!' She shouted finally peeling her eyes from the TV and coming into the kitchen where I'm packing my handbag. 'Are we gonna visit Daddy this afternoon?' She asked.

'You bet we are!' I answered.

'Yay!' She squealed.

My husband's best friend, Saehara, saved me from drowning the day I confronted Kosuke (my husband's father.) Saehara broke up with my twin sister Risa and fell in love with Mio (my 2nd best friend.) Saehara and Mio got married and have a child on the way.

'Fern, sweetie, it's time for day care!' I called to my 2 year old son, 2nd born, Jack Niwa.

'Awight (alright) mama!' Jack came waddling into the kitchen.

'Got your toy?' I asked.

'Yez (yes) I go (got) him an (and) hiz (his) mame (name) izn't (isn't) to (toy) it With.' Jack stated.

'Alright, alright. Let's go.' We went past the living room. 'Celeste, you forgot to turn off the TV again!'

['He stuck again last night. This Phantom Thief "Dark." Is showing that thieves can outsmart police while still looking good.'] I turned the TV off.

'What a dangerous man. You kids better keep away from people like that.' I warned.

"Yes mama" the replied in sync.

My children's wings haven't appeared yet. But, you never know when it'll happen. And when it does I don't know what I'll do.

After Work – Picking up Celeste

Celeste opened the door and got in. I pulled out of my parking spot and started driving down. Yes, I Riku Niwa, have a licence. Can you believe it?

'So, how was school?' I asked.

'Great!' Celeste replied then turned to Jack. 'Hey Jack.'

'Hi Cewezte! (Celeste!)' Jack answered.

'How many times do I have to tell you? Call me big sis!' Celeste complained. I couldn't help but laugh. 'What're you laughing at mum?' Celeste asked angrily.

'You sound just like me when I was young. When I first met your father he called me, Miss Harada, and I never could tell if he was talking to me or your Aunt Risa. When we started going out I asked if he could call me Miss Riku, so I could tell who he was talking to. Then I got sick of it, even after we got married, your father couldn't call me "Riku" he always had to add either Miss or Mrs. Then an accident happened, he was so worried about me that he completely forgot the Miss or Mrs and just called me "Riku" and he got used to it.'

'That's so sweet!' Celeste smiled.

'Ew!' Jack complained.

I stopped the car out the front of a bakery. Ding-a-ling! The bell chimed as the door opened.

'Be there in a moment!' Called a voice from the back.

'Is that any way to treat your family?' I teased.

'Honey! Kids!' Daisuke ran out and hugged Celeste and Jack.

Daisuke Niwa. Also 23 years old. My first crush (not that I had any others), my first boyfriend (not that I had any others!) and my one and only husband. He is also father to Celeste and Jack plus our "one on the way."

'What about me?' I asked when I didn't get a hug.

'You get something special.' He answered.

'Really?' I smiled.

'Yup!' He stood up. Daisuke had grown and was a head taller than me. He put his hand on my waist and brought me closer, then kissed me, and to my happiness he has long since gotten over that blushing habit. He pulled away.

'Very special indeed.' I commented.

'Yes. Oh! Kids, I have something special for you. Close your eyes and open your mouths.' The nodded, closed their eyes and opened their mouths. Daisuke placed a colourful feather shaped biscuit in their mouths. They then closed their mouths and ate it. They're eyes opened wide and smiles came on their faces.

"Yum!" They both yelled.

'It's so soft and it melts in your mouth. And the taste! It's sooo good. What is it Daddy?' Celeste asked excited.

'I made it today; it's something new for the bakery. I call it Rainbow Feathers. Rainbow because of the colour and the taste sensation and feather because of the shape and softness of it.' Daisuke explained.

'Di (did) Daddy cats (catch) rainbows four (for) this? (This?)' Jack asked.

'You bet your Daddy did Jack!' Daisuke smiled.

'Ya! (Yay!)' Jack squealed.

Daisuke owns the new bakery 'Heavenly Treats'.

'You know what? Your mama's good at cooking too!' I smirked.

'Weally? (Really?)' Jack asks.

'Yup, your mama's good at making secret recipes.' I said smugly.

'WOW!' Jack squealed again.

Kids Bedtime – Daisuke POV

Daisuke was telling stories, when the clock struck 8:30. 'Okay, enough of the excitement, if you get them too hyped up they won't go to sleep.'

'Aw, juzt (just) a wittwe (little) bit more?' Jack begged.

'Sorry Jack, the boss' (the boss = Riku) 'said no more, so no more, and I don't want to be on her bad side.'

FLASHBACK (WHEN RIKU WAS PREGNANT WITH JACK):

I was telling Celeste a story. The clock struck 8:30. 'Okay, time for bed Celeste.'

'Aw, just a little more mama?' Celeste begged giving Riku here best puppy dog eyes.

'No.' Riku started. Celeste started sobbing.

'Oh, come on Riku; just let me tell a couple more stories.' Riku's face went dark and her eyes went red.

'I'm tired. I said no. Celeste's got school. We've both got work. And if you tell her something scary and she has nightmares, I'll be the one that has to deal with it.' Riku then got an evil aura. 'And I don't want to deal with it, I want to sleep. So I said it's bedtime.'

'O-okay.' I stuttered. 'Celeste, the boss says it's bedtime so it's bedtime.

'No!' Celeste yelled.

'Hm, you really want another story?' I asked.

'Yes!' Celeste pleaded.

'Then, come on Riku, one story.' The evil aura became bigger.

'Celeste. Your daddy'll tell you a good story tomorrow if you be nice to me and go brush your teeth and get into bed.' Riku compromised.

'Fine.' Celeste went to brush her teeth. Then Riku turned to me.

'What were you thinking? Where you going to give into her act? I said I was tired and I didn't want to deal with any nightmares. And what if she got hyper because of your story? That'll be worse!' She picked up a chair. No not the chair. *THROWS CHAIR*

END FLASHBACK.

I shuddered at the memory. I remember the pain. Ouch. Chair's hurt. That's the second time she's thrown a chair at me while she's pregnant, first time when she was pregnant with Celeste, the second time while she was pregnant with Jack! Why? Why is it always a chair? Why couldn't it be a pillow?

'Celeste, Jack, please go brush your teeth and get ready for bed.' Riku said smiling but I could tell she was angry.

'Yes mum.' Celeste answered, leading a yawning Jack to the bathroom to brush their teeth. Riku then turned to me.

'Sigh. Why do you always have to tell that story?' She asked.

'Why not? It's not just any story! It's ours! Don't you like your life?' I asked.

'I love my life. But, they don't know that the story is about us. Someday their going to grow wings and we'll have to tell them the truth. But, right now, they're too young! They might notice something and figure it out, they'll figure out it's our story!'

'Yeah, that's true, but, if I get this story locked in their minds. Then when they do get wings. It'll be easier to explain because of the story.'

'Fine. Just, be careful.'

10 year later – Riku's POV

'AHH!'

'Celeste? What's wrong?' I ran to where the scream came from, the bathroom, I had a bad feeling as I opened the door. Is it time? The door was now fully open but Celeste was hiding behind the shower curtain, torn clothes on the floor. 'It's okay Celeste, you don't have to hide.'

'Help me, help me mum.' Her voice was shaky.

'I will, just stay here. I need to talk to your father.'

'O-okay, h-hurry!'

Downstairs

'Is it time?' Daisuke asked. I nodded. 'Do you want me to handle it?'

'No, I'll deal with it. You know, mother to daughter, woman to woman, because she's probably in love, and no offence but you won't be able to help. Just talk Jack, he is not to see Celeste, also, take Satoshi.'

'Okay.' Daisuke replied.

"Is Celeste alright mum?" came two in sync voices from behind. It was my 12 year old son, 2nd born, Jack, and my 10 year old son, 3rd born, Satoshi.

'Jack, Satoshi, don't worry, she's fine, she just slipped. Daddy's going to take you out for ice cream.'

"YAY! ICE CREAM!" The squee'd in sync.

Upstairs

'Celeste?' I re-opened the door; she was sitting on the floor, with big pale pink wings spread out.

'What's going on? Why do I have wings? And what are these strange memories I'm getting?'

'Do you remember the story, of the winged lovers with the dangers they faced?'

'Yeah.'

'That's the story of me and your father.'

'So that means I'm a winged person.'

'Yup, you have to take the vow and we need to get you cleaned up then early bed.'

'Okay.'

1 hour later

As I was getting Celeste ready for her first night sleeping with wings, a thought stuck me. 'So what's he like?'

'What?'

'I'm guessing you got your wings because you're in love right? So what's the guy like? Anyone I know?'

'Nobu and Nakao's son.'

'Ah, good choice. The memories you were talking about, can you tell me about them?'

'They're not very clear, but, from what I can make out, is red wings, a smiling face, then the face stops smiling, then I see chocolate brown wings, speeding, heading up into the clouds. Then I'm falling down, I hear a splash, I feel water droplets, but I see red wings again and I'm being flown up, I hear a shout then everything goes black. That's all I remember.'

'Daisuke and I do not speak of that night. Events that occurred after are also unspoken.'

'Mum, tell me, I want to remember, tell me what's happening?'

'Promise me. If you remember, you won't speak a word to Daisuke.'

'Yes mum.'

So I told her everything. She didn't say a word, just listened. When I finished, she remained silent. 'Sweetie?'

'I remember now. Why didn't I remember before now?'

'Maybe it's because you didn't have your wings, so your brain thought these figments of the imagination and locked them away.'

'Why did I get wings? He won't like me now!' She started sobbing.

I placed a hand on her shoulder; she looked at me, small tears still in her eyes. 'That's what I thought, but, out of dumb luck, he had wings too. If you want, I'll take to Nobu, see if I can get something set up for you.'

'Really?' She asked wiping away her tears.

'Really.' I replied.

'Yay!' She chimed.

'Now, there are holds in you PJ shirt, I don't know why, but it's something Daisuke did for me. Now, off to bed, call if you need anything.'

'Yes mum.'

5 minutes later

'We're home!'

'Shh, don't shout, Celeste's asleep.' I whispered.

'Sorry honey.'

"Sorry mum." My sons said in sync.

'Boys, go brush your teeth and go to bed.'

"What!" They exclaimed.

'Don't disobey your mother.'

"Yes Dad. Good night!" They went off to do as they were told. Once they were gone Daisuke spoke.

'So, how'd it go?

'Fine. She's asleep now. She has the shirt with wing holes in it. And I'm going to arrange something, so she can meet with him.'

'Him? So it was love! GRR! HE'LL NEVER GET HER! I'LL HUNT HIM DOWN!' Daisuke bellowed.

'Oh no. Why are all father's so protective of their daughters?' I thought.

'WHO'S THE GUY?'

'Who are you talking about?' I teased.

'YOU KNOW WHO! WHO IS THE PERSON AFTER MY SWEET DAUGHTER'S HEART!' Daisuke yelled.

'Oh, that person. One, Celeste is after his heart not the other way round. Two, your friends with the guy so don't be rude! Three, don't hunt him down if I tell you. Can you agree to all that?'

'Hmmm, can I still punch him?' Daisuke asked, and evil chuckle following.

'No.' Very blunt.

'Oh~' Daisuke complained.

'Now, are you ready to find out who it is?'

'Yes.'

'Okay, it's Nobu and Nakao's son.'

'Hmm, I guess he's worthy. But, either way, I won't make it easy for him. He he he.'

'Sigh. Whatever, I'm going to bed, coming?'

'Hm? Oh! Yeah.' Daisuke looked worried.

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing.' He lied.

'Really?' I asked, I wasn't convinced.

'Really.'

Little did I know, that tonight, I would get zero sleep.

Next Morning

As I awake, events of that night flooded back. Celeste did not even notice, but, she tried to fly out the window, she hasn't even learnt to fly! Luckily, we stopped her. Then, she had a tantrum, when we tried to calm her, SHE KNOCKED US OUT! And I can't even begin to describe the rest! But she started calming when Daisuke hugged her, he sat down with her on his lap on the rocking chair, she leant against his chest as he rocked back and forth singing the lullaby I used to sing for her:

'Hush no my baby, it's time to say good night, it's time for you to sleep, and listen to my lullaby.'

Celeste went to sleep and he put her back in her bed. We stayed with her for an hour, making sure she wouldn't wake up again. When we left, dawn was starting to shine through the blinds. I fell asleep on the couch. And I now hope, that the boys won't end up acting like her when they get wings.

A/N: Poor Riku. I love Daisuke! I'll report again soon. It'll be an Epilogue. It'll finish the story.

Loving New Dawn.
