I'd like to know your opinions about the previews at the ending of the chapter. Since it's something diferent to any of my other fics. I'm also starting to plan about the second YoI Aniversary Collection, where Countdown for Love and Aria's Advice of Love will have a new chapter. I will open the poll for the other 8 in twitter July 1st (If nothing goes wrong with me D: ), so please, check my Twitter ~ eiennosekai ~ for it. Also, thank you very much for enjoying my fics.

After the Judgment - Before Dinner
When Yuuri and Yuri arrive in Yu-topia, the boy turns to the boy and slides his fingers into his blond hair.
"From this day on, you will live with me, my sister and my children. This afternoon, after lunch, I will introduce you to everyone and guide you through my house." He says, and the boy looks at him.
"Children?" He asks, surprised.
"Yes. I take care of other children besides you. Children with problems that have come to me in different ways." Yuuri explains. "And you too will be my child."
"I want it." He says, extending his arms to Yuuri, who takes his belt off and hugs him.
"I promise, Yuri, that I will not leave you alone. Even though I'm busy working, you can always count on my sister and the children." And still hugged, they both enter Yu-topia, where they find Mari sitting at the desk.
" Tadaima ." Yuuri says, receiving a curious look from the boy in his arms.
"Okaeri, Yuuri ." She says, face down.
"Mari-nee, we have a new child." She raises her face and is surprised to see Yuri. "Yuri, this is my sister, Mari. Remember her?"
The boy nods tentatively.
"You know I'm going to have to give you a nickname now, do not you? You have the same name after all." She says in Japanese. "Oh, I know, otouto , I'll call you Yurio."
"Why do not you call me the same?" Yuuri complains, nibbling.
"Because it's boring." She just responds by implicating him.
With a sigh, he decides to leave it at that.
"All right, all right. Call the children, I want to introduce you soon." He asks, and turns away from Mari. "Yuri, cover your ears."
The boy obeys, confused, until he sees Mari put two fingers to her mouth and whistle loudly.
Soon, several boys and girls of different ages emerge from the aisles.
"What's it?"
"What is happening?"
"Oh, Oto-san."
"My children, this is Yuri, the youngest member of our family." Yuuri says, looking in their direction.
Timidly, the boy in his arms raises his hand and waves, receiving 'aww's from the girls and nods of most boys.
"Okay, Clockstrings School students, step up and introduce yourselves." Yuuri says, watching two girls and four boys take a step forward.
"My name is Mila Babicheva and I'm in the last year." The short-haired, red-haired girl says, smiling.
"Chihoko." The other girl, who is much younger than Mila, says. "Classmate."
Yuri then realizes that in fact, she studies in the same class as him, and nods.
"Kenjiro Minami, and I'm 15 years old." A blond-haired boy with a red fringe says, smiling.
"Otabek." A much younger boy says, with a cold expression. "Classmate, like Chihoko."
"Georgi Popovich, I am Mila's classmate." The third boy says, and the boy may realize that he was crying until very recently.
"Phichit Chulanont, master of selfies and social networks and also a colleague of Mila and Georgi." The latter says, excited.
Yuuri smiles, now looking at the boy and introducing the rest to him.
"Later, at dinner time, I'll introduce you to the others, okay?" The boy affirms, and blushes when his belly makes a hungry noise. "Mari, do you have lunch yet?"
"Yes, I'll warm up then for you both." She says, pulling away and entering the hallway.
Yuuri looks at the children, who watch them and nods.
"So let's take a shower and eat?" He asks, placing the boy on the floor.
He only nod again, now very excited.
"Okay, okay." Yuuri says, laughing and walking away with him.
...
After lunch, the cell phones of some of the kids play, and they get a picture of a woman and the following message: This is Yuri's mother. She will probably try to approach him. Guang-Hong, Takeshi, Yuuko, Leo, Charles, Christophe and Nathan, watch the streets and the inn. Mila, Georgi and Phichit, I leave school with you.
When 'Yes, Oto-san' comes up 10 times, Yuuri smiles and turns his attention back to Yuri.
"Eat while it's hot." He says, watching the boy hesitate. "Let's do this. Every spoon of yours will be mine and if you do not want to eat, I will not eat any more."
The boy looks at him in surprise, then at the two plates on the table. Slowly, he raises the spoon and begins to eat, noting that Yuuri does the same. Soon, it ends and Yuuri smiles, satisfied.

After dinner.
Yuri is surprised when she sees the dining room full of mattresses and sheets of various colors scattered on the floor and other children sitting on them, talking. He thought he was going to sleep only with Yuuri, just like that night. The boy named Minami notices and raises his arm, waving at him.
"Yuri!" He says and the boy waves back.
"Okay, kids, I want everyone on the mattresses now." Yuuri says, clapping twice.
He approaches a sound box and puts something in it. Soon, a flute begins to be heard and the children begin to lie down, holding one holding the other's hand. Minami shows Yuri where he should lie down and helps him. He then lies down next to the boy, taking Otabek's hand and his.
When Yuuri approaches him, he gives Potya to him.
"Do not let go of Minami's hand yet, okay?" He asks, stroking his hair.
And he is surprised when the boy reaches out his right hand to him, taking her with his while holding Mila's hand with the other.
"Now I want everyone to close their eyes and take a deep breath with me, slowly." He says, puffing his chest with air and letting go. "Again."
And after repeating several times, he becames silent and observes that everyone is asleep. Gently, he releases Yuri and Mila, and approaches the boy's face, beginning to whisper in his ear.
"You're safe here."
"Nothing bad will happen to you."
"Yuuri and Papa love you."
"No one will hurt you."
"You can do what you want."
"If you want to eat, eat."
"If you want to play, play."
"Everything will be fine."
...
Yuuri walks away from Yuri and gets up, now approaching Otabek.
"You're safe here."
"No one else will hurt you."
"Yuuri will not let anyone hurt you."
"Stay close to the others."
...
Yuuri does this with 4 more children before bedtime and finally sleep.

The days go by and more and more, Yuri feels more at ease with Yuuri, Mari and the other children. He does not ask for more permission to eat and is beginning to speak among them, saying good morning, please, thank you and good night. When he's alone with Yuuri and after talking to his father on the phone, he says he's worried because his dad is alone. Yuuri hugs him and says that soon he will be able to live with his father again.
Yuri also realizes that there is a certain routine there. To his surprise, it is the teachers Minako or Celestino who take them to school by car. At lunchtime he sits with the other six children, eating and listening to their conversation. When they get home, they gather in the dining room to do the housework and fruit snack Mari leaves with them.
Daily changes occur after Yuuri arrives home. On Mondays, before and after dinner, he and the children watch two children's films. On Tuesdays, he reads or a child reads a book. On Wednesdays, it's time to watch cartoons or cartoons. On Thursdays, they read comics and manga. On Fridays, it's the night of video games. Saturdays are sports day and on Sundays, the older ones help clean their home while the younger learn to take care of their things.
And then, one day, Yuuri gets surprised when Yuri calls him Oto-san too and embraces him, excited. For he knows that if a child calls him that, it is because he is comfortable with it. When Victor listens to him, he is also surprised but then only smiles.
~x~
When Victor finally remembers Yuuri and Mari, it was not on his own. After he hears his son calling him Oto-san, he is surprised. And then he decides to look for it on Google. He sees some recent news until he finds something strange:
A 15-year-old bullying victim gives moral lesson on trial.
'... Yuuri Katsuki, 15, gives lessons ... Orphan at age 8, lives with his sister, Mari ... His lawyer, Yakov Feltsman, then married to Lilia Baranoskaya ... "
He clicks on the link and opens it, finding a video along with the report. As he watches, the memory of that day comes into his mind because he was there, present at the judgment. And then, the rest of the memories come up and he sees himself crying.
"I'm an idiot."

Takeshi Nishigori is a policeman about 6 months old. He was 19 when his parents threw him out because he had impregnated his girlfriend at the time and his wife, Yuuko. Yuuri, then 17, was already studying at Havard and found him on the street that same night and offered him his own home. Since then, they have become friends and today, he became godfather of the triplets and the couple. Takeshi is proud to say that he became a police officer not only to protect his wife and daughters, but also to help Yuuri and his children.
Aware of the situation of the new member of the project, he hoped to find the woman in his rounds, around Yu-topia. Not there, at the police station.
"I'd like to report a kidnapping." She says, serious. "The name of the victim is Yuri Nikiforov, my son."
"Your son?" Takeshi asks, tilting his face to her.
"Yes." She responds, frowning at him.
"Your son has been kidnapped." He repeats, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms. "Continue, please."
"Someone named Yuuri Katsuki kidnapped my son, at the behest of my husband." She says, coldly.
"Hmm." Takeshi nods, looking at her.
"You have to help me! I have custody of him, signed by the judge!" She screams, banging on his desk with both hands.
"Are you married?" He asks looking from her face to her hands.
"Yes, unfortunately." She responds, getting more and more angry.
"So where's your weddding ring?" He asks, looking back at her.
He watches Suzan McCloud's face shift from red to white in the blink of an eye. She opens her eyes and looks at her hands, full of rings except her wedding ring.
"Funny you mention that whoever kidnapped was someone called Yuuri Katsuki. Now, is this Yuuri Katsuki here?" He asks her, showing her one of the photos of his wedding, with him, his wife and Yuuri.
She takes a step back, terrified.
"Are you lying?" He asks, getting up. "You know you could be arrested for giving false charges, do not you?"
"No, I ..." Terrified, she just turns away and runs away.
Takeshi takes a long breath and grabs the cell phone, sending a message to Yuuri.
Me
Bitch was here. Wanted to report you for kidnapping her son at the behest of your husband. When I confronted her, she cowed and ran.
