Maria woke up to find everyone gone and Teddy asleep in his crib beside her bed.
She went into the living room, where Haze, Her Wolf familiar, sat and found two notes.
Went out for the day, No, I will not tell you why. Sirius, wait for Maria to get up to make breakfast, I don't want you burning the house down. Maria, Make sure He doesn't do anything entirely stupid.- Luna.
Maria smiled and shook her head.
I went out to look for a job...hahahaha, yeah right! I got bored So I decided to explore Japan a little more, Besides, Maybe I'll get cooking lessons! Oh, Molly would like you to write to her, She misses you and Luna. - Sirius.
Maria Laughed.
"Well, Teddy, Haze, Looks like it's Just us today." She said as she set Teddy in his play pin.
She turned on the TV and flipped Channels.
She left it on a News Channel and began to clean a bit.
There was a knock at the door and Haze growled.
Maria walks to the door slowly and opens it.
On the ground there is thirteen red roses.
Her hand shakes as she picks them up.
"Looks like you have an admirer, there." One of her neighbors says smiling.
"I'm already taken, I'm afraid." She says, and smiles slightly.
She opens her door and shuts it behind her quickly, she fumbles with the lock then her cell phone.
She punches in Kyoya's number, and he answers on the second ring.
"Kyoya, I know it's early, but could you come over? It's just me and Teddy, and I-I There's- I'm scared." She says she feels like she could cry again, but doesn't.
"I'll be right over." He says, hanging up.
She leans against the wall and sinks to the ground letting her head hang.
After fifteen minuets she hears a knock at the door and is relieved to find Kyoya standing there.
She pulled him in quickly and shut and lock the door behind him.
He notices the roses in the garbage.
"Maria, whats wrong?" He asks, he notices her familiar sitting on the couch, it pays no attention to him.
"It's a long story." She lets out a shaky laugh.
"How about a movie?" Kyoya asks, and Maria agrees.
She puts in a animated movie for Teddy and sits on the couch with her head resting on Kyoya's shoulder.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, you know." Kyoya says, running his fingers through her hair.
"Yeah." she says, moving closer.
"Kyoya?" She asks after a minute.
"Hmm?"
"I love you." He smiles as she says this.
"I love you to."
She shivers and moves even closer.
When it gets to be around nine o clock Kyoya reaches for his phone.
"Don't go, Please?" Maria asked, Looking up at him with her green eyes sparkling.
"I will inform my family I am busy." He said.
Maria smirked, turning her head to the T.V. Screen, Where one of her many American movies was being played.
After they had had dinner they had layed on the couch, Her head on his chest and his arms wrapped tight around her.
Luna arrived home first, Smiling at the scene.
She grabbed Teddy, Being sure not to wake him or the sleeping couple.
When Sirius got home, Luna was sitting at the table and The Credits of the movie were rolling.
He grabbed a blanket and Draped it over the two.
"They look so adorable." Luna cooed as Sirius sat down.
"She's more at peace then I've ever seen her. I'm glad she found him." Sirius said, Grabbing a soda out of the fridge.
"So, Luna, Where did you go Today?" Luna smirked but it disappeared quickly.
"Look." She said, pointing to the trash.
The roses were still in plain sight.
"That can't be good." Sirius said, shaking his head, Suddenly, His eyes widened. "He escaped?"
"No, They let him out. That's what's bad. He knows that because of his status, He can get away with it."
"I don't think He's stupid enough to go To Far this time, As much as I hate to admit it, He isn't any fool."
"You know, Teddy asked for Mommy the Other day." Luna said, "He asked for Mommy and reached for Maria."
"Ahh yes, Mini Moony. Moony, He's..He's not coping well. I fear he's going to dive the deep end."
"It's hard." Luna sighed, smiling again at the scene of Maria and Kyoya.
She turned of the T.V.
"I'm Going to bed, Sirius, Please, don't wake them up early, It's not smart."
Maria yawned.
She felt arms around her, and she felt rather comfortable.
She blushed furiously as last nights events came flooding back to her.
She could smell Coffee, and heard Luna Humming. She glanced at the clock.
11:30! She thought surprised.
It was the first time in a long time she hadn't had any nightmares and had slept in.
"Good morning." A silk voice whispered.
"Morning." She said, She smiled and blushed again.
"They're alive!" Sirius shouted laughing as Teddy giggled in his arms.
"Oh, Sirius, shut it." Maria said sliding gracefully off the couch.
Kyoya stood and stretched, pushing his glasses up.
"Mummy!" Maria looked up surprised.
"Come here Teddy." she said softly. She laughed as she lifted him up into the air and caught him as he fell back down.
She smiled sadly.
"I Don't want him to forget about Tonks, Even if she wasn't there for very long."
"Don't worry, We'll never let him forget." Luna said.
Maria laughed slightly.
"Of course not."
