Ch. 16

"What?" spoke Sahoko after a short while.

"Kotoko and I have a son together and his name is Yuga," Naoki then went, and carefully, told Sahoko everything.

"I can't believe you!" shouted Sahoko getting up from her seat. "What were you thinking?"

'That I wanted to be with the only woman I'll only ever love, if only for once,' thought Naoki. "I…"

"No, I don't want to hear anything else tonight," sighed Sahoko. "We will talk about this in the morning, and you can sleep in the guest room tonight."

"I'll just get my things for the night then," said Naoki calmly as he could walking to their room to get his things. After he came out Sahoko went into the room and slammed the door.

'Well that wasn't as bad as I thought, but of course we aren't done talking yet,' thought Naoki as he went to put the dishes in the wash and got ready for bed.

As he was setting down for bed his cell phone stated to ring. To his surprise it was his brother calling him, but when he picked it up he was even more surprised who had called him.

"Kotoko?" whispered Naoki so his wife could not hear.

"Since you used my name I only can guess you are in the guess bedroom," teased Kotoko, but it almost sounded like she was a little concerned. He just played off that last part and sighed.

"You guessed it," Naoki just rubbed his tired face. "However she said that we will talk more in the morning."

"Well I guess that's good. Anyway I will see you when I see you I guess," said Kotoko as she was about to hang up.

"Wait," shouted whispered Naoki really not wanting to hang up like that, but had no idea what he really wanted to say. "Um, I'll make sure Sahoko knows what we talked about, even though she really didn't bring you up, and only was blaming me."

"Thank you, but you need to get some rest, after all you have to get up early to deal with your unfinished doom," Kotoko half joked.

"Again I have so much support," Naoki smirked into the phone. Then he smiled a real smile for the first time in forever. "Good night, Kotoko."

"Good night, Naoki." Kotoko just sighed as once she hung up her phone. She felt a little bad for him, but not too bad. She was once again sitting outside on the swing bench looking at the stars. It was now the end of day two and for now, besides on Naoki's part everything seemed okay, for now.

From the kitchen Yuki and Yoshimi were looking out the window as they washed a couple of dishes. "You think we should ask her for advice?" inquired Yoshimi. "Only after things start to cool down."

"I think so, but I think we will be better off with my parents since my brother is now a bigger idiot then she is now," Yuki said amusing himself.

"I though you were starting to get along better with your brother now?" asked Yoshimi.

Yuki just looked out the window to the woman who had almost become his sister-in-law, but his brother's blonder made him cost him being there for the birth of his child and not seeing him grow these past nine years. He still wasn't sure how well he could get along with his brother, but Yuki knew his father was right and he had to do it for Kotoko and the kids.

"I will, but it will still take some time." Yuki gave his girlfriend a kiss on her head and rubbed her abdomen. "But I, we, need to focus on this most of all. Come on, I'll walk you home," putting his arm over his girlfriend and leading her away.

Before they fully walked out of the kitchen they looked out the window to see Kotoko still looking up at the stars.

As she watched the stars twinkle she thought about all those nights thinking about when she was pregnant with her son, and thinking about his father and the night they shared together. She never would admit this, not to anyone, but there was a secret part of her that did still long to be with him.

There was one night when she heard her father and Sara talking. Sara had told Shigeo that he had a feeling that Kotoko might still might still have some left for Naoki, and that was reason she never wanted to go back to Tokyo incase she ever ran into him. "If there was a chance that she could be together with him again, I would give her that chance as long at made her happy."

That night when he had come back to their room Kotoko through her arms around Sara, "I love you so much; you are the one that makes me happy." As if the need to prove it she kissed him which eventually made them move to their bed. Nine months later it lead to the birth of their daughter.

A tear slid down her face. 'No matter what, even if I wanted to be with him, there is no way that will ever happen.' With that thought she went to bed with tears for her husband, for her forgotten love with the first man she ever loved, and for herself.

As Naoki lied in bed he could not but wonder if there was another reason Kotoko had called him. Was she worried over him? He knew that, thanks to their son, that she prayed for his happiness; but there was part of him that wondered if there was a secret place for him in her heart.

The next morning Naoki woke up with the first sun rays hitting his face. As he rolled out of bed he knew there was still some music that had to be played.

Walking into the kitchen he saw his wife sitting calmly. "I'm ready to talk."
