About five hours and three cups of coffee between Asahina and Isaka each. Tsumori came back with great news, Sapphire tested negative for any cancer. The bruising that Usagi saw was a result of a vitamin deficiency that her last doctor didn't catch. Isaka sighed in relief, they were finally allowed to see her but were warned she might be asleep. Isaka and Asahina walked into the room to find Sapphire wide awake drawing a picture with crayons. As soon as the door opened Sapphire looked up scared before seeing it was her parents and jumped out of the hospital bed rushing over to hug her parents.

"Daddy!" Sapphire exclaimed hugging Isaka who had kneeled down to her height.

Isaka held her close. "It's okay angel, We're here."

"I wanna go home," Sapphire whimpered.

Isaka and Asahina looked at each other before Asahina kneeled down as well. "We're taking you home soon, we just need to ask the doctor a few questions, ok?"

Sapphire just nodded holding onto Isaka like her life depended on it. Isaka picked up the little girl before sitting on the bed trying to relax her. He then noticed the picture Sapphire was drawing and tried to coax her into talking.

"Angel, what's this?" Isaka asked holding up a random drawing.

Sapphire looked at what Isaka was holding before blushing. "That's you, Daddy. I drew you as a superhero."

The crude drawing indeed had a cape and a symbol on their chest. Isaka started to smile looking down at Sapphire. "Oh really? You think I'm a superhero."

Sapphire nodded before Asahina sat next to them. "You look tired sweetie."

"Don't wanna sleep," Sapphire said softly obviously tired "You might not be here when I wake up."

Isaka and Asahina looked at each other again before Isaka said "Don't worry Angel, I'll be right here when you wake up."

"Promise?" Sapphire asked holding out her pinky finger.

Isaka hooked it. "I promise."

Sapphire fell asleep in Isaka's arms a few moments later breathing softly. Isaka was rubbing slow circles on her back to sooth her, making sure she stayed asleep.

"One of us has to stay with her once she gets released," Asahina said.

"I can take a few days off," Isaka said looking over to Asahina "Could you handle everything at the company?"

"You know I can." Asahina said looking down at Sapphire "I'll try and be home early to help take care of her."

"You don't have to…" Isaka started but was cut off.

"I want to," Asahina said bluntly "She's my daughter as well."

Isaka blinked before smiling and kissing Asahina's cheek relishing how his face went red.

A few days later, Sapphire was at home sitting in front of the TV watching a Japanese horror film Isaka had put on for her. Isaka was sitting at the kitchen table attempting to work from home, he had already called the school and informed them Sapphire would be starting a week later than anticipated, now he was just conversing with Asahina who was relying all of the work that needs to be done.

"Ok, and we still need to reschedule the Emerald print meeting," Isaka said looking through a manila folder "The most I remember from that meeting is the numbers."

"How many copies did Takano want?" Asahina asked.

"300, 000," Isaka said looking at his notes, he had started taking notes in secret during meetings in case of emergencies like this one. "Yokozawa lowered it to 250,000, but Takano won't compromise on a low number."

"Daddy," Sapphire suddenly said appearing right next to Isaka who nearly fell out of his chair. "I'm hungry."

Isaka sighed getting up before he got an idea. "Sapphire, do you want to talk to Dad?"

Sapphire brighten up nodding her head as Isaka handed her the phone. "Hi, Dad!"

Isaka smirked to himself before heating up leftovers in the microwave as Sapphire started talking Asahina's ear off about what she and Isaka did today, which was mostly watch TV and play pretend.

"And Daddy took me to the library today," Sapphire chirped excitedly as Isaka set down a plate of noodles in front of her mix with pork "I got a bunch of new books to read. Oh, will you read one to me when you come home?"

"Hai," Asahina answered warmly "Sapphire, I have to go now could you give the phone back to Daddy."

"Ok," Sapphire said handing the phone back Isaka and started eating.

Isaka who was smirking a little then said "I'm going to go as well, what time do you think you'll be home."

"Six or Seven if I'm lucky," Asahina replied, "Please try not to spoil her dinner with sweets before I get home."

"Hey, I'm a responsible parent," Isaka pouted. "I promise I won't let her spoil her dinner."

"I'll hold you to that," Asahina said, "I need to go, I'll see you later."

"Later," Isaka said hanging up.

"I thought I said not to let her eat anything sweet before dinner," Asahina said a little peeved.

"I didn't!" Isaka protested as he mopped the floor which previous had Sapphire's vomit on it "She snuck behind my back and ate the entire jar, what was I supposed to do!?"

"You're supposed to put the jar on the second shelf," Asahina said, "That's the shelf she can't reach."

"Well, excuse me!?" Isaka said crossing his arms "I'm sorry I didn't notice the shelf you put the damn jar on."

"Maybe if you didn't act like a child so much you'd have known that," Asahina shot back.

"And maybe if you weren't a hardass half of the time, you would know not everything is my fault!" Isaka snapped at Asahina out of was about to snap back at Isaka when the pair heard the soft creak of their floorboards. The pair turned to see Sapphire looking scared at what she was witnessing, Asahina's eyes widen while Isaka tried to speak to her.

"Angel…" Isaka started.

"Are you and Dad fighting?" Sapphire whimpered clutching her teddy bear close to her.

"No, no, no," Isaka said going over and kneeling to her height "We're just having a small disagreement."

"Is it because I ate the entire jar of sweets," Sapphire said tears in her eyes before going up to Asahina hugging his waist "I'm sorry, please don't be mad at Daddy."

Asahina sighed softly picking the little girl up. "I'm not mad, I've just had a long day."

Sapphire nodded hugging her teddy bear. Asahina still feeling a little bad then said "How about I read you a story like I promise."

Sapphire nodded again starting to smile. A few moments later Asahina stepped out of her room to find Isaka leaning on the wall waiting for him.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you," Isaka apologized "I should have kept a better eye on her."

"I'm sorry too," Asahina replied, "I've just had a really long day."

Isaka pushes himself off the wall. "Then let me take care of you for once, I'll heat up some leftovers and we can watch a movie together."

Asahina gave Isaka one of his rare smiles. "I'd like that."

Isaka smiled back at Asahina before giving him a quick kiss and headed into the kitchen.
