The Judge entered the court room. "You may be seated." The Judge sat there in silence for a minute, and then she sighed and took off her glasses.

"This was the most hardest decision I had to make. But I believe that this is the right decision. I hear by give full custody to Houshou Takigawa and Ayako Matsuzaki. Who I hope will take care of them."

Monk-san and Ayako could hardly control their smiles. "We will your honour. Thank you."

The Judge nodded at them, getting up she was about to leave when she turned to Mai. "Mai-san." Mai turned her attention from her family to the judge. "Yes ma'am?" "Congratulations on your engagement." The judge smiled. Mai returned the smile, remembering the events from last night.

*Flash back*

Mai and Naru sat on a bench in the park, watching a family of ducks swimming, when Naru turned to Mai. "Mai?" "Hmm?" Mai turned to him. "Will you marry me?" Naru asked.

Mai gasped in shock. Her mouth opened then closed. Naru was scared that she might say no. Then the one simple word made him the happiest man in the world. "Yes" He smiled and hugged her closer to him.

They kissed for a while. Then after an hour they went home. They told their friends and families.

Everyone cheered.

*Flash Back*

The court was a gerund. They hustled out of the court room. The family were at their car, hugging each other. It was all over. Over Monk-san's shoulder Mai could see the Bennets walking slowly towards their car. Rich (Mr Bennet) had his arms around his wife. Their faces were red. They had been crying.

Then...

*Flash Back*

The girls were only four years old when Sonia and Rich gave the girls to the orphanage they had tears in their eyes. The girls tried to run after them but they were being held back by the staff. The girls cried out for their parents. "Mummy Daddy come back." They banged on the windows to get their parents attention but they didn't look back...

The last thing that the parents said was, "I love you" to each girl.

*End of Flash*

She untangled herself from Ayako and ran to catch to her birth parents. "Mai?" Minko asked.

Mai stopped a few feet away from the Bennets. "Daddy." Rich turned around to see Mai running towards him. He caught her and spun her around. "Oh my baby girl." He whispered in to her hair over and over.

Then Minko and Nina were close behind her sister. The Bennets had their girls back.

Back at the house Naru woke up to the spot next to him empty. Then he remembered that the Judge makes her decision today. Naru bolted out of bed and went in to the bathroom where he found a note on the mirror.

Naru,

When I woke up you were still asleep and I tried to wake you but you wouldn't wake up. I decided to let you sleep. I'll see you when we get home.

I love you

Mai.

Then as he left the bathroom and went down stairs to find his parents, Gene, Lin Madoka, Monk-san, Ayako-san, Minko, Nina, Mai and the Bennets.

"We want to stay with Bou-san and Ayako. But we want to see you as well." Mai said. Naru walked over to her and sat on the arm of the chair Mai is sitting in.

The Bennets nodded to what Mai said. "Just as long we're in your lives." Sonia said.

"And we'll meet your parents." Minko said.

The Bennets smile grew wider.

"Next week?" Nina asked. "I'll arrange it." Sonia said as they got up to leave.

The girls hugged their birth parents. Then when the Bennets left Monk-san screamed, "What the hell is going on?"

"I remebered when we were four years old when they couldn't keep us they took us to the orphanage where Sonia knew that the staff would take good care of us."

"How did Sonia know?" Ayako asked.

"She was adopted when she was ten years old. Before she was adopted the staff at the orphanage took good care of her."

"I remember the last thing they said to us. 'I love you.' And then they left. Minko, Nina and I banged on the windows to thier attention. We cried for days. We didn't eat or drink." Mai paused and sighed before she went on.

"At ten years old we were-"

"You were taken in to foster care here you girls were abused for years." Bou-san finished for her. Mai nodded and grasped Naru hand that rested on her shoulder.
