Double Trouble
I quickly opened the doors of the hospital and ran to the front desk. The nurse looked a little startled at my sudden appearance.
"Which room is Kuga Shizuru in?" I asked the nurse.
"Um..." The nurse began to look through files.
"I don't have time for this." I began to panic.
"Natsuki!"
I turn my head and see Asuka running towards me. I turn to her and follow her to the elevator.
"What happened? Where's Shizuru? Where's Shizuka?"
"Look just calm down." Asuka responded.
"Calm down?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Your gonna need it for Shizuru."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
"Okay, what happened?"
"We were at the house and Shizuru had just put Shizuka down for a nap. I...don't know what happened but Shizuru...I heard her scream and I ran over to her. She was breathing heavily and bleeding between her legs." Asuka turned pale.
"No...are the twins okay?" I felt my heart race.
"I'm...I'm not sure..." I noticed her hands began to shake.
"Asuka..." I grabbed a hold of her hands.
She looked up at me, her face still pale and extremely worried. She gripped my hands and took a deep breath.
"She'll be fine...I know she will." I said as I saw her wipe away some tears falling down her face.
"I know, she has you." She smiled at me.
I smiled back for her and for me. I want to cover up the worry and anxiety building up inside me. I almost jumped when I heard the elevator doors open. We quickly exited and I followed Asuka wherever she lead me.
"Ara, the doctor's at her room." Asuka said as we neared a room.
The doctor looked up at us and seemed to notice Asuka. She looked at me and took a deep breath.
"Is this Mrs. Kuga's wife?"
"Yes this is she." Asuka pointed to me.
"Is Shizuru in there?" I asked.
"Yes-"
I began to go into the room when the doctor stopped me.
"There's something you need to know before your wife gives birth to your babies."
"What is it?"
"What happened was your wife had a uterine rupture. It was a complete rupture which means the contents of the uterus may spill into the peritoneal cavity-"
"Just get to the point." My patience was wearing thin.
The doctor took a deep breath and gave me an apologetic look.
"Right now...the rupture is life-threatening for the babies and the mother."
"Wha...what?" I swear I think something inside me died.
"There is a chance that either your wife or one or both of the twins will die. I'm sorry"
I put a hand to my mouth and tried to keep that lump in my throat down. No...my babies...my Shizuru...a chance of dying?...NO! I haven't even meet my babies yet. Hell I haven't even held them in my arms yet! Shizuru...Shizuru...we've only been together for 9 years, that's too damn short! I don't want the end of anything!Why can't it be me instead?
I looked up at the doctor and Asuka, they had their head's low and avoided eye contact with me. After a few moments I stood up straight and took a deep breath.
"What...what are the chances that they all make it?" I asked the doctor.
"Well...the odds are small, but there is a chance we can save them."
I thought about something for a moment, and then I walked into the medical room alone. I quickly closed the door behind me and set my eyes on my wife. Shizuru was panting and in pain on the medical bed. I hate that. I wish I was the one on that bed, taking all that pain for her. When she saw me she smiled. I put on my brave face and walked over to her side.
"Natsuki...I'm so glad your here." Some of the pain in her eyes disappeared.
"The twins ready to come out?" I asked with a smile.
"Almost..." I think she knows.
"Shizuru..." I grabbed her hand and she gripped mine hard, "Y...Your gonna be okay. I'm here so everything's going to be okay."
"Natsuki your a terrible liar." She smiled.
That was it, the walls came down and I began to cry. I placed a kiss on her forehead and looked at her.
"Shizuru I love you. I love you so much. Babe we can get through this, you and our babies. We're gonna hold them together, love them together, feed them together, we'll do everything with them together. You, me Shizuka and our babies. Just one big happy family."
"Natsuki I love you too. I want to do all those things with our family too. Please...if anything happens-"
"Nothing is going to happen to you! I swear it!" I gripped her hand.
Her face twisted in pain and she gripped my hand harder. I ignored the pain as I can only watch her suffer. I swear I saw the years we had together flash before my eyes, its so damn short. She then looked at me panting heavily but with a pleading look.
"Natsuki forget about me, make sure our babies are okay."
"I'm going to make sure you all are okay."
"Promise me if you have a choice, save them not me."
"But-"
"Promise me!" She gripped my hand tighter.
I wrapped my arms around her and the tears running down my face wouldn't stop.
"I promise, but you have to promise you'll be their mother along with me."
"I promise."
"Shizuru I love you."
"I love you Natsuki."
XXXX
"Okay, just one more push."
"Shizuru..." I felt helpless as she continued to crush my hand.
She didn't say anything as she tightly closed her eyes and began to push again. I clenched my teeth together as to not yell out loud. Then a crying of a baby would be heard. I felt Shizuru's grip on my hand lessen and I saw a small smile form on her face.
"Well baby number one is out." The doctor smiled.
"Shizuru our baby." I felt tears form at my eyes.
"That's...great..."
I felt her hand let go of mine. I felt my heart drop as I quickly looked back at her. Her face began to pale as she laid back on the pillow. It looked like she was going to sleep. The heart rate monitor began to scream at everyone in the room.
"Sh-Shizuru!" I began to shake her to see if she would wake up.
"Sorry but you have to leave." A nurse began to force me out of the room.
"No I have to stay by her side." I began to fight back.
"Get out of the room." The nurse yelled as she pushed my out of the room.
I stumbled backwards and ran into the wall behind me. Before I could balance on my two feet again, the nurse closed the door on me. I just took deep breaths as I felt gravity grow heavier on my shoulders. On the floor I looked up at the ceiling and tried to let my emotions get the best of me.
...I fucking hate the hospital.
XXXX
It seemed like forever since they kicked me out of the room. Though in reality I think only 3 hours had passed. Bringing my knees close to me I wrapped my arms around them and buried my head into my knees. A little later I felt a tap on my shoulder and someone sit near me. I looked up and saw Asuka looking at me. I sat up and tried not to show my worry.
"Natsuki...how was it?"
"...Awful...Shizuru's so brave...our oldest twin was born but then..." I couldn't finish the sentence, no matter how hard I tried.
"...You know the bench over there is a bit more comfortable. Let's go sit over there, ne?"
I slowly rise to my feet and follow her to the bench. She sits besides me as if trying to comfort me. It's working...just a little.
"Asuka...I love your daughter. I love her so much that the worry is killing me."
She chuckled a little and ran a hand through her hair.
"This was all my fault."
"Not it wasn't."
"Before we put Shizuka to her nap, Shizuru was asking about her brothers and sister." Asuka had a painful look in her eyes.
"...I don't think that would have done anything."
"I know, but it's just a feeling."
"...I wonder when I'll get to see my babies." I attempted to change the subject.
"What names did you decide on?" Asuka seemed to get the hint.
"Your daughter 'insisted' that our twins be named Yuma and Yumi." I said with a small smile.
"Ara, that's my daughter." Asuka smiled.
"Yeah..."
"...I hope Shizuru's okay." Asuka said.
"Me too..."
"Mama!"
"Onee-chan!"
I looked up and saw Shizuka and Alyssa running towards me. I felt the heaviness on my shoulder lift up as I began to fast walk towards them. Once we were close enough I knelt down and wrapped them both in my arms. They let me go and I stared at Shizuka for a moment. She might have my face but she has Shizuru's hair and that voice of hers. I smile as she looks at me with her head turned slightly. I just wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. Even being a three year old, I think she somewhat understood what was going on. She wrapped her small arms around me and I felt a few tears run down my face. Regretfully I let her go when I heard another pair of footsteps walking towards us. I looked up and saw my mother looking at me. I stood up and looked at my duplicate.
"How...how did everything go?" She hesitantly asked.
"...I'm not sure..." I answered.
"Mama, is mommy okay?" Shizuka asked.
"...Yeah baby, mommy's okay." I managed to answer with a smile.
"Are my sister's okay too?"
"Yeah, their good."
"When do we get to see them?"
"I don't know Speedy."
Damn...why do I have to lie to my precious child about this? No...I'm not lying...Shizuru's gonna be okay, and our babies too...
"The doctor is coming." Asuka reported.
I stood up and saw the doctor walking towards us with a smile. This can only mean good things right? Oh please let it be good news. I think I ran to her, which I could care less about right now.
"Well congrats. You have healthy twins and your wife's going to be okay. She's resting right now so no visits from anyone for awhile."
"...Thank you..." I let out the air and the tears I had been holding in.
"Would you like to see your babies?" She asked.
"Yes." I smiled as I wiped away the tears from my cheeks.
"We'll stay here." Asuka nodded her head.
"Okay."
As I followed the doctor I felt my heart race again. My babies...my Shizuru...they're all okay. Our family...our family...I love them.
"So what are going to name your babies?" The doctor asked.
"Well my wife 'insisted' we name our girls Yuma and Yumi." I smiled.
"That's nice but...well you'll see soon." She smiled.
"Huh?"
Before I could as the doctor anything, we came to the nursery room. From the glass wall I began to search for my babies.
"They're in the same basket right over there." The doctor pointed out.
"In the same crib?" I asked.
"We tried to put them in their own cribs but they started crying when they were separated." The doctor smiled.
I smiled as I began to search for my babies. After a few seconds looking for them about to ask which crib but then I saw them. Two beautiful babies sleeping next to each other. My God their beautiful just like their mother. From that black hair to their pink skin to their pink blanke-
...Eh?
XXXX
The pain is over, it doesn't hurt anymore. More than anything I want to see our babies. Our Shizuka too and my Natsuki. I want to see my family. This is really nice though, sleeping...
"Shizuru."
I moaned and felt extremely tired as I tried to move. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my Natsuki smiling. I feel like this is all a dream...or heaven.
"...I'm dead aren't I?" I smiled.
She chuckled and laid her forehead on mine.
"Far from it...I love you."
"I love you too." I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.
She rose up and I opened my eyes to see her smile at me.
"Shizuru...I saw our babies, they're beautiful."
"Our Yuma and Yumi. When do I get to see them?" I asked.
"Um...about that...Shizuru I'm sorry but we have to give up on the names Yuma and Yumi. Or maybe just the name Yuma." She chuckled.
"Why? Don't you like the names?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I do but you wanted our oldest twin to have the name Yuma, right?"
"Yes."
"Well Yuma has a little wee-wee." She grinned.
I felt dumb for a moment. I just looked at her and felt my head turn.
"Are you saying that...we thought...we have a little boy?"
"I was surprised too but the doc said that it happens sometimes. Still a shock though huh?"
"Indeed...not that it matters. I can't wait to see our new son and daughter," I smiled at her, "What do they look like? Do they look the same?"
"Yeah, they both have my hair." She smiled.
"Maybe for now." I chuckled remembering when Shizuka lost her black hair.
"Yeah maybe, but I think they have your face so they're on the right track. I didn't get a chance to see their eyes but I bet there beautiful." Natsuki chuckled.
"I love them already," I laid back on medical bed, "Is Shizuka okay?"
"Yeah, she's with my mom and Alyssa. Your mom's trying to get your father over here."
"Ara, he'll be here. I can't wait to see the expression on his face when he finds out he has a grandson." I smiled.
"Yeah...so what do we name the twins? I don't think our son would want to be called Yuma."
"Well we can just pretend he's a girl for a few years. No one will know." I smile.
"We can't do that."
"Ara okay, I was thinking...I have the perfect names for our son and daughter."
"Really? So what is it?" Natsuki asked.
"Haru and Hana."
"...They sound the same. Like Yuma and Yumi."
"It's cute, do you like?" I smiled.
She sighed but she leaned to me and kissed my forehead.
"I love the names." She gave me a warm smile.
I smiled back and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek before she rose up again. She smiled as she rose up.
"Did you have those names as a back up or was it just the spur of the moment?" She asked.
"Actually they're the names of my brother and sister."
"Oh..."
Before another word could be said, the medical room door opened and our family came through the door.
"How are you feeling Zuru?" My mother asked me as she came to the side of my bed.
"Tried, but I'm happy" I smiled.
"Mommy, I missed you." Shizuka looked like she had been crying in my father's arms.
"Kanin na, come here Shizuka." I smiled at her and raised my arms to her.
"So I heard their was a whoops with one of the twins?" My father asked with a smile as he gently placed Shizuka in my arms.
"Ara, now who was the one to spread the rumor?" I asked with a smile as I looked at my mother.
"Ara, I wonder..." She smiled.
"Like mother like daughter, Shizuka don't be like your mommy or grandmother." Natsuki sighed.
"Okay." Shizuka smiled.
"What's the whoops?" Alyssa asked.
"We have a little boy and a little girl." I answered.
"I have a grandson?" My father asked with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Yup, but I get to blow up stuff with him first." Natsuki stated.
"Okay, I'll teach him how to write his name in the snow." My father smiled.
"How do you do that grandpa?" Shizuka asked.
"It's a super secret special technique." My father answered.
"Can I learn it?" Shizuka asked.
"Can I learn it too?" Alyssa asked.
"One day my students, one day." My father laughed.
"Shin, don't trick the girls like that." My mother looked sternly at my father.
"Can't help it." He smiled.
"I'm glad everything turned out okay." Saeko smiled.
"Me too." I held Shizuka closer to me.
"I'm gonna go see if I can get Haru and Hana in here for a little bit." Natsuki began to walk out of the room.
"Hurry back." I asked.
"I'll be back." She said with a smile as she left the room.
"Haru and Hana..." My mother looked at me with surprise.
"If you don't mind." I looked at my mother.
"They're perfect names." My father smiled as he wrapped an arm around my mother.
I smiled as my mother blushed but smiled at me. Shizuka began to wiggle in my arms but I held on tighter to her.
"Ara, stop being a slippery child or you won't get to see your new brother and sister."
"But...but mommy, you said I was having two sisters."
"Yes but now you have a little brother to play with." I smiled.
She turned her head like Natsuki, all confused about the new situation. I smile as I kiss her forehead and pet her hair. She then looks up at me.
"Does this mean I have two sisters and a brother?" She asked.
I chuckled as did my parents and my mother-in-law.
"No, you have one new brother and one new sister."
"Mmm...so I have a brother and a sister? No two sisters?"
"Right."
I think she's still a bit confused as her head is still tilted to the side a little.
"So cute." I run my fingers through her hair.
"Here, I'll take her." My mother offered.
"Okini."
"I can't wait for the new grandchildren to arrive." Saeko smiled.
"First dibs." My father grinned.
"Hey wait a minute now, ladies first." My mother smiled.
"What about me? I'm the mother." I asked as I pointed to myself.
"Grandparents first." My parents and Saeko said simultaneous.
"Ara..." I chuckled.
"Yeah right, Shizuru gets to hold my babies first."
I looked up and smiled when I saw Natsuki enter the room with a transparent crib. I felt something warm swell up inside me when I saw two beautiful babies sleeping peacefully in the same large crib. Beautiful...both wrapped in their own blankets with their mother's hair...oh I love them so much already.
I watched as Natsuki rolled the crib closer to me with a smile on her face. She took a moment to light touch the hair of our twins before looking up at me.
"So who do you wanna hold first? Haru or Hana?"
"Mmm...I'll hold Haru."
She smiled as she gently picked up our baby boy wrapped in his blue blanket and placed him gently in my arms. Immediately my little Haru turned in his little body towards me in his blanket. I smiled and held my son close until I felt his soft head near my neck. As I rubbed his back he moved in my arms and opened his small mouth for a large yawn.
"Your perfect my little Haru." I placed a small kiss on his forehead.
"Hey that's my baby!" Natsuki complained when my mother stole Hana from her arms.
"Hello Hana, it's me your grandmother from Kyoto," My mother smiled at Hana, "You're gonna be a Kyoko girl just like me, your mother and onee-chan."
"No, no more Kyoto girls." Natsuki responded.
"Mommy, do you not like my accent?" Shizuka asked with a sad look on her face.
"Shizuka, I love your accent." Natsuki quickly smiled.
"Really?" She asked.
"I do."
Shizuka smiled which caused me to smile, she is my daughter. I have taught you well Shizuka.
"Natsuki, would you like to hold our son?" I asked.
She blushed for a moment but then she smiled as she saw our son yawn again. She gently took Haru from my arms and began to rock him slowly.
"Wow, your a handsome little guy." Natsuki smiled as she traced her finger on his cheek.
"Mother I'd really like to hold my little Hana." I smiled at my mother.
"Ara, I'll hold you later." My mother winked at my youngest daughter.
"Hey stop stealing my babies!" Natsuki yelled as my mother-in-law took our son from her arms.
"Stop whining, you'll have plenty of long nights to hold your son." My mother-in-law chuckled.
As my mother helped put Hana in my arms, I smiled as she began to make noises. As soon as Hana was in my arms she stopped making noise and yawned for me. I chuckled and watched her mouth slowly close. Then something amazing happened.
"Natsuki, our Hana is opening her eyes."
My Natsuki quickly rushed over to my side and watched as our little girl began to open her eyes. I'm not sure whether I gasped or Natsuki or even both of us, but when Hana opened her eyes I felt my breath being taken away.
"She has your beautiful eyes Shizuru," My Natsuki leaned herself closer to me and put a finger on our daughter's cheek, "Definitely got the best looks from you."
"She's adorable." I chuckled as Hana began to suck on Natsuki's finger.
"I think she's hungry." Natsuki chuckled as Hana tried to bite her finger.
"Hey, the little man has the Fujino eyes. That's my grandson, a true Fujino." My father smiled as our son looked up at his grandfather with his crimson eyes.
"Hey he's a Kuga." Natsuki remarked.
"He's a Fujino too." I chuckled.
"Yup, a true Fujino." My father repeated with a grin.
Natsuki rolled her eyes as she walked over to my father and stole our son from him.
"Don't be like your grandfather Haru."
I just smiled and watched as my family fought over who got to hold Haru and Hana next. This is wonderful and so amazing.
XXXX
"Natsuki...they're so beautiful." Shizuru said as she leaned on me as we watched our babies sleep in their new crib.
"Yeah just like their mother." I laid my head on hers.
She just chuckled as she gently wrapped her hand around mine. I smiled as we continued to watch our babies sleep. Week one had passed for our twins, still so beautiful.
"Do you think Shizuka will get jealous of the new babies?" I asked, thinking random thoughts.
"I don't think so...I hope not." Shizuru answered.
"You know...in about two years she'll be ready to go to school."
"Mmm...she's growing up so fast." Shizuru sighed.
I smiled and placed a kiss on her head. She looked up at me with a small sad smile.
"I almost wish they could stay like this forever." Shizuru smiled.
"Yeah...me too."
"Natsuki?"
"Mmm?"
"When was the last time we had sex?" She said with a mischievous smile.
"Um...about 10 months ago."
"Hmm...well good night." She smiled as she began to leave the room.
"No sex huh?" I sighed as I followed her to our room.
"Maybe...maybe not, I am a little...how would you say? Aroused." She smiled as she began to lower her robe.
I blushed as I wrapped my arms around her waist and began to breath on her neck.
"Shizuka is asleep, right?"
"Of course." She sighed as I began to kiss her neck.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
XXXX
"I'm exhausted." Shizuru crashed on our bed.
"Your telling me. Twins and a kid...ugh..." I crashed on our bed.
The twins are now 4 months old. Cute, adorable, fun...and messy, screaming, crying...exhausting. Shizuka just turned four, she helps or tries to at least with her new brother and sister. I think she's more like Shizuru, hopefully she doesn't end up with Shizuru's dark side. That would be scary...especially when she hits teenager years...ugh.
I turned over and looked at Shizuru who looked just as exhausted as I did. I haven't felt like this since Shizuka was a baby. Its all worth it in the end though.
"Did you put Shizuka to sleep?" Shizuru asked with her head in the pillow.
"I did, she went to sleep. Did you put the twins up?"
"Yes, they-"
Suddenly crying came from one of the rooms. Its kind of cool how our twins each have a distinct cry. Haru's crying is not as high pitched as Hana's for unknown reasons, might be because he's a boy. I groaned as I listen to the cry and tried to get up from the bed.
"I'll go so what Hana wants." I walked out of the room.
When I arrived at the twin's room I walked over to the twin's crib. As I guessed Hana was crying and rolling around in her crib. As I picked her up and tried to get her to go to sleep, I had to smile for a moment at my son. Haru is such a heavy sleeper, thanks goodness for that. As I was carrying Hana around the house I began to rub her back to try and calm her down. It worked for Shizuka, I'm sure it will work on her little sister. I smile as she begins to calm down and relaxes her little head on my shoulder.
"Good girl." I place a small kiss on her soft head.
Once I thought she was finally asleep, I walked back to her room and gently placed her in her crib besides her brother. I took this moment to watch my twins sleep together. Gently I picked up Haru and rocked him in my arms. His warm little body on mine made me feel relaxed. Giving him a small kiss on the head I gently placed him back in his crib with his little sister.
I walked out and back tracked my steps to my room when I saw Shizuru with Shizuka. I watched as Shizuru began to comfort Shizuka. I smiled and went on my way to my room. I landed back on my bed and pretty much fell asleep instantly. A little later I felt something tap my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw Shizuru smiling at me.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Shizuka wants to see you."
I groaned as I got up from the bed. It never ends.
"Hana's asleep." I said.
"Okini." Shizuru laid on our bed.
I just smiled as Shizuru began to fall asleep. I walked over to Shizuka's room to see that looked scared. I sat on her bed and put a hand to her cheek.
"Hey Speedy what's wrong?"
"I'm scared." She tightly hugged her sock monkey.
"Scared of what?"
"The dark."
Oh...we don't have a nightlight do we? Hmm...better go get one for her and the twins.
"Don't worry, I'll get you a nightlight tomorrow." I placed a kiss on her head.
"I'm still scared..." She gave me a sad puppy dog look.
I sighed...maybe I am wrapped around her finger. Thought I'll never admit that. I smiled as I picked her up and began to walk her to my room. She seemed a little surprised as I gently laid her down on my bed.
"Just this once okay." I smiled as I placed the covers over her small body.
She slightly smiled and cuddled near me when I laid down on the bed. I placed a kiss on her forehead when she drifted to sleep. I saw a hand gently rub her head and I smiled at the owner.
"She really likes you." Shizuru smiled.
I smiled up a her as she lightly ran her fingers through Shizuka's hair.
"I would hope so." I said.
"She did ask for you."
I sighed as I closed my eyes for a moment. I opened them again and looked to Shizuru.
"I love you Shizuru, you and our family."
"I love you and our babies."
XXXX
"You ready Speedy?"
"Ready!" Shizuka smiled as she held on to her lunch her mother prepared her.
"Natsuki-chan, be careful with my first grandchild." Asuka warned me as she was holding my youngest daughter.
"Don't worry mother-in-law, we'll be fine." I rolled my eyes.
"Me and mama will be back, okay mommy?" Shizuka looked up at Shizuru.
"Be safe and do what your mama tells you okay?" Shizuru smiled as she put a small hat on Shizuka.
"Okay." Shizuka smiled as she pulled on the hat.
I've always wanted o do this. Bring by kid to work and make everyone jealous of my cute daughter. That and she'll keep me from doing any actual work. Its a win-win situation for me. Shizuka stood by my side and grabbed my hand that I was holding out for her.
"Ready!"
"Alright hold on." I smiled.
Hana was smiling and playing with Asuka's hair as I placed a kiss on her head.
"Be a good girl for mommy and drive your grandmother nuts."
"She'll never do that." Asuka rolled her eyes at me.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Shizuka at work. We'll be back love." I assured Shizuru as I placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Just be safe." She smiled.
"Alright Haru, your the man of the house. Take care of your little sister and mommy." I smiled as Haru gave me a blank stare.
"Hey what about me?" Asuka asked.
"Okay Speedy let's go." I placed a quick kiss on Haru's head and turned to Shizuka.
"Have a good day." Shizuru chuckled.
"You too," I gave her another kiss, this time on the lips, "I love you."
"Love you too." She smiled.
"Mama were gonna be late for work." Shizuka began to worry.
"Heh, heh, alright let's go." I smiled as I extended my hand for her to take.
"Bye mommy!" Shizuka waved back to Shizuru.
I smiled as Shizuru waved back with her free hand. This is gonna be great, I can't wait to show her my office and stuff like that.
XXXX
"So its almost a year until Shizuka starts school." My mother said as she was changing Haru's diaper.
"Indeed..." I sighed as I began to feed Hana.
"I remember when your first day of school. Your father had to keep me from running after you into your classroom." She chuckled.
"Ara, I hope I won't have to do that for Natsuki." I chuckled.
"Don't worry Shizuka will be fine. She'll have lots of fun at school."
"I hope so." I sighed.
"Isn't it time for Natsuki and Shizuka to be back?" My mother asked looking at the clock on the wall.
"Any moment now."
As soon as I said those words, I heard the front door open and small footsteps running towards the living room. I smiled as Shizuka came running towards me and sat on the couch.
"Mommy I'm back." She hugged me.
"Welcome home Speedy." I placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Mommy guess what?" Shizuka looked excited.
"What?"
"I got to help mama make paper."
"Oh? How did you do that?" I smiled as Natsuki came into the living room.
"We put a paper in a big machine and then it made lots and lots of papers." She smiled.
"Wow that's amazing." I began to pat Hana on the back.
"Mommy I made you something." She took the paper that was in her back pocket.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I drew you a picture," She unfolded the paper and showed me her drawing, "See? This is me with Hana and Haru, that's mama and that's you mommy and grandma and grandpa and grandma and onee-chan."
"It's beautiful Shizuka, let's go put it on the refigerator." I smiled as I stood up.
"I look the best." My mother chuckled as she began to put a diaper on Haru.
"You look like a stick figure like the rest of us." I heard Natsuki sigh.
"Why thank you." My mother chuckled.
I just smiled as I put a magnet on Shizuka's artwork. She smiled as she admired her work on the refrigerator.
"Did you like going to work with mama?" I asked.
"Uh-huh, I can't wait to go to work tomorrow." She smiled.
I chuckled as Shizuka walked with me back to the living room. Just in time I saw a line of water from Haru spray towards my mother. Natsuki leaned on to the wall and laughed as my mother had a displeased look on her face. I covered my mouth to not show my mother the small smile that was appearing on my face.
"You okay Asuka?" Natsuki asked.
"Fine, I'm going to the bathroom." Asuka put the diaper on Haru and walked away.
"That's my boy." Natsuki smiled as she picked up Haru who began to giggle.
"Haru that wasn't nice what you did to your grandmother." I sighed.
"What did Haru do to grandma?" Shizuka asked.
"Umm..." I tried to think of something to make up.
"Oh gross!"
I looked to Natsuki and saw that Haru had spit up on her shirt. I chuckled as Haru giggled at his mama.
"Karma strike again." My mother smiled as she walked back into the living room.

"Mmm...Shizuru?"
"Natsuki?"
I sighed as I laid my head on her chest that was slightly covered in sweat. Placing a few kisses on her chest and neck, I laid my head next to hers and looked into her eyes.
"Are you happy?" I asked.
"Extremely." She smiled.
I smiled back and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She wrapped her arms around my waist and placed her lips on mine. I kissed her back and began to slowly move my hands down her back. As the kissed deepened I felt her hand move in opposite directions, one resting on my neck, the other on my leg. I break from the kiss and she begins to kiss down my neck. I moan but then the thouht I had in my head returned to me.
"Shi-Shizuru..."
"Mmm?"
"I'm...I have to leave."
I'm not sure when I'll have the next chapter up now that December is coming and finals are on their way (T.T) Sorry but you might have to suffer for awhile :) I'll try and write the next chapter asap as life permits me.
