Later on that day everyone was enjoying their peaceful time as the kids were playing outside, and burning their energy after they ate lunch. Yoshimi was glad to see everyone, more importantly Yuki and Naoki sort of getting along, and seeing Yuga and Naoki getting more acquainted with each other.

"I'm glad yesterday didn't have too many problems," said Yoshimi.

"Yeah, but its only day two and a new situation will arise as soon as someone returns back to Japan," said Yuki.

"Let's not bring that up right now please. We have already talked about that last night," said Kotoko.

"And I already have a good idea wants I tell her tonight," said Naoki.

"Well it's a good thing you have a guest room, because I don't a doctor would get a good night sleep on the couch," said Yuki looking out the kids chasing their grandfathers while his mother was taking pictures.

"Yeah, you have a point there," said Naoki.

"Speaking of which, when do you plan to start working?" asked Yoshimi.

"After this week," said Kotoko. "I wanted to be fully settled in and have sometimes with my kids before they go back to school."

"Here's another question, who is going to watch the kids while you're working?" asked Yuki. "I'm sure we can a few times, but we are finishing up a few last things before we go back to college."

"Why I can watch them of course," said Mrs. Irie taking a break from taking pictures, once she heard the younger adults talking about the children.

"Um, well if you think you can, I guess it would be okay," said Kotoko looking over to her kids. She knew her daughter wouldn't mind, but was a little worried about her son.

"After all isn't that what grandmothers are for," said Mrs. Irie. "Besides it will allow me to know my grandchildren a little better, and I can even help get their school things ready for you."

Before Kotoko could protest Mrs. Irie went off to take more pictures.

"I'm sure they will be okay," said Yuki.

"Yeah, and she is right since you will be leaving here it's important that they get to know each other more," said Yoshimi.

"And after today the kids are going to have to get to know one, or more people," said Yuki glancing over to his brother.

"Well since you keep bringing it up, I think it is time that I head to my apartment, and have something nice set up to lower the blow," said Naoki.

"Make sure it's really nice, or we may never see you again," said Yuki.

Kotoko and Yoshimi just looked him shaking their heads. The kids stopped playing as they heard that Naoki had to go home. "Are you leaving already, Naoki?" asked Ayu.

"Yes, it's getting late and I need to get home before…" Naoki didn't really know what to say to the little girl who just yesterday found out that he was her brother's birth father.

"Before your wife gets home," finished Yuga for him. "It's okay, but I think you will be okay. You got punched by my mom, make sure she knows that."

Naoki just smiled, "I'll make sure she knows that wants I tell her…" Naoki took a deep breath, "Everything."

"Good luck son," said both his parents.

"And make sure your will is done before she kills you," said Mr. Aiharo.

"I'm so glad I have so much support behind me.
