SailorStar9: With Chapter 1 uploaded, this is Chapter 2 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Pairings: Furuya Rei/Mizuno Ami
Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing, except this plot and pairing.
Chapter 2: Family Day Out
"Konbanwa, tou-san." Fumio placed a call to his newly-discovered father when Ami was taking a bath.
"Konbanwa, Fumio-kun." Amuro returned the greeting.
"Tou-san," Fumio started. "Are you busy tomorrow?"
"Mama!" Fumio shook his mother awake the next morning.
"Hai, hai, I'm up." a groggy Ami slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
"Ohayo, tou-san." Fumio dialed his father's number. "Kaa-san's getting ready."
"I'm already in the lobby, Fumio-kun." Amuro informed.
"Mama!" the excited Fumio pulled his mother out of the lift. "Look, it's papa!" he pointed to Amuro who was sitting on one of the chairs in the hotel lobby.
Ami looked down at her son, then at the amused Amuro, then at her son again and sighed. And here I thought my match-made days were over.
"Tou-san!" Fumio freed himself from his mother and ran towards his father.
"Don't say it." Ami growled at the smirking Amuro.
"I'm not saying anything." Amuro's smirk widened.
"Our darling son set this up, didn't he?" Ami shook her head, the five-year-old pulling both adults out of the hotel.
"You certainly don't hear me complaining." Amuro grinned. "Now, how about I treat us to breakfast?"
"Tou-san," Fumio found what he was looking for. "Can we go here next?" he showed his father the glossy two-page spread of the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa in the guidebook he brought along.
"Fumio," Ami sweatdropped. "I really need to restrict what you read."
"Like mother, like son, huh?" Amuro's eyes twinkled.
"Just drive." Ami sighed.
"It's been quite tough on you for the past six years." Amuro remarked, both parents looking on as Fumio bent over the aquarium touch pool. "If I had known..." he tucked a strand of hair behind Ami's ear.
"You couldn't have done anything." Ami cut him off. "For all it's worth, I never hated you; I never could, not after you've given me such a precious gift."
"Tou-san, kaa-san, let's see the corals." Fumio called out.
"We're coming." Amuro answered.
"How long will the two of you be staying?" Amuro asked, later in the evening as the sun was setting, both parents having brought Fumio to Beika Park.
"We'll be leaving for the airport tomorrow morning." Ami replied, the two adults watching their son play on the slide.
"Isn't that a little to short for a vacation?" Amuro wondered.
"Don't give me that look." Ami chided. "I still have around six months before my contract is over. Fumio and I will most probably be returning to Japan after that."
"Six months, huh?" Amuro mused. "I... don't think I can..."
"It's one of those long-term jobs, right?" Ami guessed. "It doesn't matter; just take as long you need. Fumio and I... we can wait."
"It's times like these that make me wonder if I really deserve the two of you." Amuro pulled his partner into a hug. He then took out a simple, curved ring from his jacket pocket. "That's why..." he slipped the ring onto Ami's left ring finger. "A promise: when everything is over, let's get married."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
