Chapter Three~Mars' Rainy Day Out

Tuesday

Day One

1:40 pm

Yuuki's House

Yuuki was back at her house with Kanon, after when her older brother, Ethan, had to go to his psychiatrist.

Kanon had a long morning, with her uncle Ethan, since she was at his house, this morning, playing around in the living room, or even started talking to him. Yuuki places her into her crib, as she was still asleep, in her arms. She tiptoed quietly out of the room, without stepping onto toys, that Kanon, always lay around. The mother decided to get some rest, until it was time for her friend, Sara, to come over to babysit, Kanon.

Over an hour went by, until Yuki heard her phone ringing, she was hoping that it was someone who dialed the wrong number, or it wasn't work, calling for her.

"Hello?" Yuuki said, tiredly.

"Yuuki? Hey." Ethan greeted.

"Yeah?"

"I'm coming over, to spend some more time with you and Kanon, before I pick up Shaun, from school." Ethan stated.

"Ok *yawn* you have my key." Yuuki said. "So, you can get in yourself." She hanged up her phone, before trying to get out of the bed.

Slowly getting up, Yuuki walked into her daughter's room, to find her, still asleep. She also heard the front door opening, downstairs. "Yuuki, I'm here." Ethan called out, before closing the door.

She climbed down the stairs to meet her brother at the foyer. "Hey." Yuuki greeted, before yawning. "How was therapy?"

Ethan started walking to the couch to sit down, so Yuuki followed him. "It was great. He told me to start over, just like you did. Is that true?"

"Yes, I believe that he's telling the truth and I know it's not easy for me and you, but...in my heart, it's my fault that Ryan's dead." Yuuki said. "If he didn't go to work, he will be still alive."

"Hey, me too. He was a great father and husband to you and Kanon." Ethan said. "Jason would still be alive, if I been looking after him."

"Ethan, we can't blame ourselves forever." Yuuki said. "We have to move on, because...our love will never die."

Ethan and Yuuki started looking at the stairs, as they heard Kanon, crying for her mama.

"She's up and I better get her." Yuuki said, before getting up off of the couch to climb up stairs to get Kanon.

Ethan was alone waiting for Yuuki and Kanon, until he saw a memory of the past.

"Yuuki, what's the matter?"

"...Ry"

"What?"

"...Ryan…got... killed…"

"No, that's impossible. He's at home with you and Kanon."

"I told...him to...go to work...and... Blake came...at my door...with bad news…AND RYAN IS DEAD!"

"Ethan?"

Ethan snapped out his mind to find Kanon, touching his knee cap and smiling at him.

"It's almost time to pick up Shaun from school." Yuuki said, she was next to him, until he recognizes her voice.

Ethan check the clock on the wall, and it was two forty five.

"Oh, I didn't know that it was time."

"Ethan, what's wrong with you? You're acting like you're back in high school, when you tried to impress Grace." Yuuki said, picking up Kanon.

"Would you mind coming with me?"

"You just want to drive my Fusion." Yuuki said. "How did you get here?"

"I walked here from my house."

"You're lame, brother." Yuuki said, which make Ethan smile, along with Kanon.

4:10 pm

After picking up Shaun from school, the older Mars, decided to take Shaun to the park with him. Of course, he had to dragged Yuuki and Kanon, the baby haven't went to the park, since she was a little baby, or haven't gotten any fresh air.

The Mars family was sitting down on the bench, trying to think of a conversation, until Kanon did a cry, which made Ethan say something. "Kanon, be quiet." Ethan whispered be quiet, so she can understand.

"So, how was school today?" Yuuki asked her nephew.

"I was yelled at for not doing my homework." Shaun said.

"Ethan, did you ask him about his homework?" Yuuki asked.

"I forgot to ask him." Ethan sighed. "Next time, I'll keep an open mind about it."

"Aren't you going to take Kanon with you and play with her?" Ethan asked.

"I don't feel like it."

"Is there something wrong, Shaun?" Yuuki asked.

"No, I'm alright."

"I'm going to get Kanon something to eat." Yuuki said. "Do you want something, Shaun?"

Shaun didn't respond, so she thinks that was a yes. She walked, while carrying the baby in her arms, to the candy cart, hoping they have something that Kanon and Shaun would like.

"I'll have a packet of strawberry and tropical flavored chewies, please." Yuuki places Kanon on the ground, she was on her feet, holding onto her mother's leg.

"You have a cute daughter." The candy cart man complimented her, as she payed the man two dollars.

"Thanks." Yuuki smiled, as she started to pick up Kanon, and the baby started to grabbed the small bag of the strawberry flavored chewies. She walked back to Ethan and Shaun, who are now playing together and smiling.

"Aunt Yuuki, Dad thought me how to throw the boomerang!" Shaun said, happily.

"That's good." She gave him the packet of tropical flavored chewies. "I got you your favorite kind."

"Thanks." Shaun said, and started eating his bag. Kanon started waving her packet in front of Shaun, so he helped his cousin opened them, which she was happy.

"Feed your cousin, while I go talk your father."

Shaun grabbed Kanon, out of Yuuki's arm, and places her on the bench, next to him.

"I never told what happened with me today, at the crime scene." Yuuki said

"What happened?"

"When I arrive, Blake started giving me an attitude, about me showing up later." Yuuki said. "And I also met the profiler, which he was nice."

"Really, maybe I have to check him out for you." Ethan said

"Ethan!" Yuuki said. "We're not in high school."

"Hey!" Shaun called. "Dad, Aunt Yuuki. Look at me and Kanon!" Shaun and Kanon were on the merry go round, spinning by themselves, as Kanon was giggling, along with Shaun. When it slow down, Yuuki immediately grabbed Kanon out of his arms, her head was still spinning, as she was still happy.

"You two had a wild ride." Ethan said, grabbing his son, and hugging him.

Yuuki noticed the swings, so she decided to put Kanon in the baby swings. "Were going to play on the swings." Yuuki told her brother.

"Do you want to go play on the swings?" Ethan asks Shaun. "I'll push you."

"Ok" Shaun replied.

Shaun chose the swing that was closest to Kanon and the baby swings, so he can make her smile with him. Yuuki started swinging slowly for Kanon, so she wouldn't have to be scared of heights. Ethan started swinging Shaun also, he was laughing, as his father was swinging him higher.

"That was cool." Shaun said, before Ethan ruffled his hair.

Yuuki picked up Kanon, before kissing her cheek. She was clapping her small hands. The mother looked up at the sky to see more rain clouds forming and she also felt her phone ring and vibrate.

"Ethan, my friend is waiting for me." Yuuki said. "We better go."

"Actually, I wanted to walked back home, with Shaun." Ethan said. "You can go and meet up with her."

"Ok, I'll talk to you tonight, when I'm on my break." Yuuki said, before leaving the park.

"Bye, Aunt Yuuki. Bye, Kanon!" Shaun said, waving to them.

Yuuki places Kanon in her carseat, she notice something suspicious about the neighborhood she's in. There was a blue car, parked on the other side, but she decides to ignore it. As she started driving, the blue car starting moving too. When Yuuki got to a nearby stop sign, the blue car decided to turn down another street, so it wouldn't get suspicious of her.

She was relieved that it was gone and not following her.

Yuuki left Kanon with her friend, Sara to watch over her, until she returns home from the police station.
