The next morning, grandparents were introduced to Saya, then everyone else before we all packed into vehicles and to the airport. Akito had us all sit with him in first class. The Sohma family and her parents took up the whole first class section. We made it to America and everyone smiled, several limos rented to fit in two to three households per vehicle. My uncles led everyone to where the new Sohma hose was going to be, and Akito nodded in approval when we got there. Everything was furnished and stuff that's been moved from the main Sohma house.
When they were all settled in, a place was set up for Kazuma's dojo, and Shigure's new place, also pre-furnished. After that was finishes and just about everyone was completely set up, Andrea and I went to look at the small house we were going to live in for a while. We walked in, and I smiled.
"This is… almost exactly like our apartment!" She exclaimed, excited. She opened each door. They all fit on what it was. There were a few extra rooms. Suddenly she turned around.
"Kyo! This is... this is wonderful." She exclaimed. She rushed over and kissed me. We unfortunately couldn't get much closer because of the baby having to be carried. But that was all right. It was better than having a beach ball in my way. We left, and we gave thumbs up to her parents, and we all went over to her parents' house for the time being until our new house was furnished.
-Andrea-
"Is this her?" Aunt Deb exclaimed. I nodded and handed over the baby, eyeing Kyo as he tensed. I smiled at him and rubbed his back. He loosened slightly, keeping his eyes on Saya.
"What's the full name?" She asked, bouncing her a little when she whimpered. Kyo cleared his throat.
"Saya Marie Sohma." Kyo said. I smiled and pecked his cheek. He looked at me and gave a small smile before watching Saya like a hawk again.
"Do you want to play a little card game? Then the guys go and hang out?" My aunt asked. I grinned.
"Sure." I said. Kyo sat up abruptly, turning pale.
"What?" He asked. I smiled at him and got up, going to the door.
"Hey, dad?" I called. He looked over at me. "Can you drag Kyo out? He's super glued to your granddaughter and won't let her out of his sight."
The guys hooted in laughter and my dad rushed in and grabbed Kyo and brought him outside, unfortunately for him. I quietly shut and locked the door so Kyo wouldn't know.
"What's that about?" Aunt Deb asked.
"If she starts crying, he can't run in." I smirked. They chuckled and we began playing different little card games until Saya started crying. I sighed and got up, grabbing the diaper bag and taking her from my aunt.
"Come on you little daddy's girl." I teased. My mom rushed in to help me out, taking out the changing table and crib for her. I laughed at her and smiled as I checked Saya real quick. "She need a quick change, then I'll just feed her till she falls asleep."
My mom nudged me and took over and I smiled and walked back in, taking a seat and quickly taking my turn. I noticed how everyone else's eyes were on me.
"What?"
"You two are such adorable parents." Aunt Deb said.
"Oh you, shush." I said, blushing out of embarrassment.
"Well, how's this. I was talking with Will and he wants to have a party next week. John, Lynn and the twins are coming in tomorrow, we can all just have a party for a family reunion next week. He had me do the go over. He's fine." Aunt Karen said. I nodded.
"That doesn't sound half bad. Kyo and I should be all settled into our house by then, and Saya and Kyo would be accustomed to how life is going to be." I said. Kenzi walked in and grinned.
"There's the mother!" He smiled. He came over and gave me a hug.
"Kenzi! Where's Hiroshi?" I asked.
"Oh, he's just parking. He stopped so he could turn and back in, but I jumped out and ran in myself." He said. I smiled, and sure enough, Hiroshi was rushing in.
"Hey!" He exclaimed. I jumped up and ran over, giving him a huge hug.
"You stand up to hug him, but not me?" Kenzi asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Hiroshi's like the conservative, can always go to him, type of brother I always wanted. You're the crazy, wild, all over the place brother I have already." I joked.
"So, where's the baby?" Hiroshi asked.
"Right here." My mother said. I smiled and she brought over the baby. I took the baby from her and showed the two, grinning ear to ear as much as they were. Hiroshi held out his hands.
"May I?" He asked. I smiled and nodded, handing him Saya as he took a seat by me. Kenzi sat by him.
"What about me?" He whined. I laughed, and gestured to Hiroshi. Hiroshi stood up and gave Kenzi the baby, and Kenzi happily moved around with the baby.
"Uncle Kenzi! Say Uncle Kenzi!" He said. I laughed.
"She's barely one month old." I said.
"She's barely one week old." My mom said. We all laughed.
"I'm going to go and hang out with Kyo, make sure he doesn't let this whole dad thing get to his head. Here." He said, smirking and giving Saya to Hiro. She started whining and Hiro cringed nervously. I laughed at him and he reached his arms out to give her to me. I waved him off and went into the diaper bag and took out her bottle and handed it to him. He grinned and took it, giving it to her and she kept quiet. I smiled at her and Hiroshi bonding over baby formula for a moment before turning back to my card game.
Kyo came in shortly after, taking off his shoes and putting them to the side before walking into the kitchen more, eyeing Hiroshi and Saya awkwardly before turning and looking at me.
"Hiro wanted to hold her, so why not put him to use?" I suggested, smiling as I finished my turn.
"Yeah, good point. I'm just glad it's not that stupid Kenzi out there. Oh, Kazuo will be in shortly to check her out. Your dad is busy talking about cars with him and Kenzi because Kazuo's car broke down in the alley in back of the house." Kyo said.
"Wow, that's so… convenient." I said, and took my turn again. Kyo smirked, then smiled. I looked up at him, smiling too. He came over and kissed my forehead before kissing Saya's and walking off into the bathroom.
As he walked into the bathroom and shut the door, Kazuo walked into the room, smiling. I was shocked at his suddenly open and apparent emotions, and he gave me a small hug before turning his attention to Saya. I grabbed him a chair, and he finished feeding Saya until she fell asleep, then after giving Kyo a look, he overpowered the fatherly protection and was able to put Saya to bed before he grabbed Hiroshi and Kenzi and they made their way back home.
The rest of my family finished chatting and soon it was just the regular group of us, plus Kyo and Saya. I told Kyo about my cousin's cook out and he shrugged, liking the idea. When everyone was to bed, I was all ready in my pajamas, and Kyo too. Saya was by the computers in her crib. I pulled out the bed while Saya was watched over by Kyo. I put on the sheets and set up the pillows before walking over to Kyo.
"Ready to go to bed?" I asked. He nodded before looking down at her, then me. I smiled and he leaned in. He brushed his lips against mine before pressing further, and I backed up into the wall. I pressed a hand on his to stop him as he began to lift my shirt. He broke it off and sighed, resting his head against the wall.
"Sorry." He whispered, aggravated.
"It's fine. We can continue where we left off after when we're at home, all right?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. He kissed me again, hugging me.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
We rushed off to bed, cuddling under the blankets innocently for my family's sake as we drifted off to sleep.
Soon it was time for Will's party. I let my mom get Saya ready while Kyo and I took a quick shower and got ready. I finished off my hair and bristled my bangs for a punk look before coming out and making sure the diaper bag was packed full of things I would need before preparing formula for a bottle and putting it in the fridge for later before setting up a few bowls of cereal for everyone. My mom grew a headache from my brother whining about not having any pants, so my dad fed Saya. I couldn't help but grin and take pictures at random as I watched my dad feed her. He looked so cheerful. I haven't seen him with such a goofy grin since Patrick and I were little.
"Aww. Grandpa and Saya bonding." I smiled. He looked at me like I was crazy before he just smiled at me and went back to tipping the bottle for her. She reached out and grabbed at his fingers and the bottle.
"Feels weird to be called 'grandpa' after being called 'dad' for most of my life." He said. I laughed and pecked him on the cheek, crinkling my nose.
"You need to shave." I teased. He chuckled and nodded. "Want me to take her?"
"I'll take her." Patrick said. I nodded and my dad handed Saya over, bottle and all. Patrick took his place at the table before adjusting his old and feeding her.
"So then, I suppose I should get the seat in the car? Or would it be better if we just carried her out there in it and strapped her in then?" Kyo asked.
"It'd be easier if we strapped her in after. You can bring out the diaper bag if you want though." I said, pointing to it. I then took another bite of cereal.
"Hey, what are you going to do about a car?" Patrick asked. I paused a moment.
"Well after we're all settled into our house, Kyo's getting himself a job, then we'll get some money and get a car then or something." I said, slightly shrugging. Saya fussed and pushed away the bottle. Patrick put it on the table and held her up uncomfortably. I smiled and grabbed a burping mat and taking her from him, resting her on my shoulder. I got up and started walking around, patting her back. Once I got her burping a few times I smiled and held her up in the air cooing at her.
"Are you guys about ready to go?" Mom asked. I grinned and nodded. Kyo brought over the carrier and I sat her inside. I got her ready so she wouldn't be attacked by the son and grabbed the diaper bag. Kyo grabbed the carrier and brought her out and strapped her down. We sat next to her, my parents in front and Patrick in back.
We drove off and met up at my aunt's. Patrick ran out to go hang out with everyone, and my parents went off to hang out with everyone else in the family. I put on my diaper bag and Kyo took out the carrier. I grabbed her out of it and carried her with me. Kyo took the diaper bag from me and put it in the carrier to lay the weight off of me. I smiled and he leaned in to brush his lips to mine, before shouts were heard from my family. I pressed our lips for a peck then laughed as I waved to everyone, making my way over.
"ANDREA!" My cousins shouted. I walked over.
"Kyo…" They grinned. Kyo nodded them in acquaintance.
"Let us see her!" Trish and Courtney exclaimed. I laughed and handed her over. Kyo put the carrier on a table nearby.
"Hey cuz" they greeted. I hugged them all, Will last because he was over at the barbeque.
"Welcome back!" He greeted "A party for you!"
"Are you serious?" I asked. He nodded matter of factly.
"Well of course I am." He said. I squealed and hugged him again.
"Oh thank youuuu," I exclaimed.
"Andrea! Will!" John called. We broke away and looked over to see Kyo doing hand stands and walking along the yawn. I laughed and we walked over.
"Since when can you do this?" I asked. Kyo stood back up.
"Um… now?" He said. I laughed and hugged him, my arms around his neck. I brought my lips closer to him and we kissed before we just stood there hugging. I heard noises and blushed. We broke away and nervously laughed.
"Kyo! I came!" Kazuma called. I looked over.
"Oh my god, KAZUMA!" I exclaimed. I ran over to him and jumped into his arms. He hugged back laughing.
"Calm down now, don't push me too hard. I'm a grandfather now." He joked.
"Oh, you can handle it. If you can handle Kyo, you can handle me." I smiled. He draped an arm around me and we walked back to the party and everyone began getting reacquainted with Kazuma.
"Present time!" Patrick shouted.
"Presents? What do you mean prese- OH MY GOD!" I exclaimed, clutching onto Kyo. Will and Joseph drove into the yard with two vehicles, bows on top. They were both SUVs. One was a dark purple, the other was dark green.
"Welcome back!" They exclaimed. I started crying, clutching onto Kyo. He hugged me back, smiling. I ran over, Kyo following behind in a regular pace. I practically tackled them both to the ground, crying terribly. Out of Joy.
-Kyo-
I held back laughter as she tackled down her cousins. I felt a little bad for her since she was crying, but at least it was because she was happy. I walked over to the dark green one, checking it out, smelling the new car smell.
"Come on, stop crying!" Someone said.
"We got your guy a job too." The other said. I shot up at that. A job?
"Here you go, Kyo." Joseph said. He handed me an envelope and checked it out. From what I understood from skimming the words I knew, I got a pretty good job. Andrea smiled as she walked over and hugged me.
"Kyo, isn't this wonderful? We have cars, you have a job…" She sobbed. I smiled and hugged her. She wiped her eyes happily before one of her cousins brought over Saya. She took the baby happily and held her up to show the two vehicles.
"Saya, look! Look! We have a car! A car! Isn't that great? Cousin Joseph and William and everyone got it for us, isn't that great?" She cooed. Then she faced Saya towards me and I walked closer, smiling down at Saya's curious face. "And look at that! There's daddy! Daddy's got a job!"
"That's right." I said, bending down to see her. She grinned and reached out and rubbed her hands on my face. I smiled and gently gave her Eskimo kisses. She cooed and giggled. Andrea held her laying down, and soon we were called over when food was ready. I grinned. I was starved.
"Let's go, Kyo." She said. My heart raced as she smiled innocently, our daughter in her arms, and turned and rushed towards the tables. I followed after her as she put Saya in the carrier and her uncle happily took over and held the bottle while she dragged me off for some… American food.
"Those are called hamburgers…and those are hotdogs. That's Polish sausage, spicy sausage, mild sausage… then that's pig roast…" She explained. There was so much food.
"What are you getting?" I asked.
"Me? Oh, I'm going to have myself some good ol' HOME COOKIN'!" She exclaimed, some kind of a crazy accent in her voice. I watched her as she grabbed one of practically anything, placing different things on bread and putting different things on them. I just watched her, unsure what to take. She smiled.
"Come on, try it." She said. I blushed as I felt eyes on us. She fed me each thing until I came across something spicy. I jumped back my tongue stinging. She giggled.
"WA-WA-WASABI!" I exclaimed, pointing at what she called 'spicy sausage'.
"Oh no… this isn't nearly as bad. Don't worry, it's the only thing we have here that's similar to wasabi. Try some of the pig roast." She said. I tried it, and it seemed to help get rid of the sting. I nodded. She gave me her plate, taking the wasabi sausage off of it and eating it herself. I sat down by Saya and started eating. She came back over and sat across from me, since her uncle was next to me feeding Saya. He took her out of the carrier and I put the carrier down on the ground. He held her, feeding her with a grin on his face.
"It's rare. I was surprised when I found out, you know." She said. Her uncle and I looked up.
"What's rare?" He asked.
"Having girls. Dad and Uncle Fred were the only ones to have girls." I said.
"Yeah, but just about every single one of your cousins has a girl." Her uncle said. She pondered a moment.
"I suppose you're right. John and William have both, Joseph has a girl, the only thing Jack has ever had were girls, then there's me with my brother." She said.
"It's up to your Cousin Michael, your brother, and maybe even Trish to have any girls. I say the most probable will be your brother." He said. She smiled.
"Auntie Andrea." She smirked. "Aunt Andrea… I don't like that tune. To many Ans. It bothers me."
"You'll get over it, like always." I teased. She pouted her lips and kicked me under the table.
"OWW!" I exclaimed. Saya giggled. "Oh great. We have a daughter that enjoys her father's pain."
"Scheudenfreude." She grinned.
"Oh hey, by the way, you were never told but your house is all furnished." John said, coming over and hanging out at the end of the table.
"Are you serious?" She asked. He nodded. She squealed and hid her face. "My… god."
"What?" I asked.
"So many things are being done for us." She whispered. She looked up crying before smiling and wiping her eyes. "I swear I'll cry myself out after this is all over."
"It's all right. Come on." I said. I reached out and I grabbed onto her hand. She smiled.
