Ch. 19
Naoki looked over at Dr. Funatsu after he put down his broken pen and put his work to the side. "Yes, I know the new nurse, Kotoko Mikado," Naoki finally spoke. "She is family friend."
From the looks he had given the other male doctors, and especially Dr. Nishigaki, Dr. Funatsu had a feeling that this woman was not just a family friend. "Well isn't that nice, you two could even work together," said Dr. Funatsu seeing what else he could get out.
Naoki thought about working with Kotoko. He thought if she was her old self and she heard that would be able to work with him, she be doing all she could do to help him, and probably be in the way or mess something up. But the new Kotoko he could tell had matured, and he was looking forward to see her nursing skills in action; but he knew that even though she wouldn't ignore him, he had a feeling she would find it unpleasant or awkward to work with him.
"I highly dout that and I won't explain that right now since we need to get back to work," said Naoki right as a nurse came in to tell them that their patients were there to see them.
Funatsu let it go for now as he went to see to his patient, but had a feeling next week would be interesting.
That afternoon Kotoko, her friends, and all the kids had finally made it to Kinnosuke's restaurant. "Kotoko!" shouted Kinnosuke and a very Chris as they glopped Kotoko. "And it's good to see you kids as well," exclaimed Chris as she gave the kids her own hug.
"Now can I say something," Kinnosuke started to say in a calm manner. The women and the kids just looked at each other before shrugging. "KOTOKO, YUKI AND YOUR DAD ARE PLANNING FOR YOU TO MOVE IN WITH THE IRIES' AGAIN, AND IF YOU WANT YOU AND YOUR KIDS CAN COME STAY WITH US FOR A WHILE!"
Everyone just sweet dropped at the screaming man. "Um thank you Kinn-chan, but I'm okay with living with Iries', and besides I think in a way it would be good for Yuga to get to know his other grandparents. Besides that Ayu is getting along with them pretty well.
"Unlike the other pare of step grandparents who disliked you and that sweat boy because he is someone else's child by birth," sneered Jinko.
Yuga just sighed but smiled when his mother put her arm around him. However, the short gloom was over as Kinnosuke and Chris's seven year old son, Sogen, came out of the kitchen. "Aunty Kotoko, Yuga, and…" Sogen stopped when he saw Ayu and a blush and a smile came to his face, as he glumped the girl in a big hug. "Ayu, I missed you!" the boy cried.
"I missed you too," Ayu weakly said trying to pull the boy off. "Now get off of me."
"Oh, right," he said as he let her go. Sogen was still happy to see one of his best friends back. It was sad the last time he saw her, as he along with his family had gone to say good bye to his Uncle Sara. He told himself that he would take care of Ayu when she moved to Tokyo.
"Young man how many times have we told you not to be back there when we are not?" lectured Chris to her son.
"Um, three," muttered Sogen.
"Try over fifty," said Chris crossing her arms.
"Well it's your fault for leaving me back there when you saw Aunt Kotoko come in," quirked Sogen. "Besides have you even told them the news?"
At this everyone was looking at Kinnosuke and Chris. Then everything clicked as they looked over at Chris. "Oh my gosh, Chris!" said Kotoko as she gave her friend a hug. "How far along?"
"Well it's going on three months now," Chris shyly said. "We would have told you sooner, but…"
Kotoko just smiled as a few tears slid down. "I'm happy for you guys," Kotoko said smiling for two of her friends.
"Yeah congratulations you guys," said Jinko haply.
"What's going on?" asked the two younger children.
Yuga just smiled at them and said, "Uncle Kinn and Aunt Chris are going to have a baby."
"And I'm going to finally be a big brother just like you Yuga," said Sogen haply, as went to jump right beside the older boy he thought of as an older brother.
"Yeah, but you will make a better older brother to your new brother or sister," Yuga said patting the younger boys shoulder.
As the afternoon went on and into the evening at her father's restaurant, everyone enjoyed their time laughing, and only talked about the good times. Kotoko even though it hurt her to move back home was happy to be back with the rest of her family.
However when the next day came over Kotoko got a call she had waited and dreaded for. Sahoko had finally called her.
