Ch. 33

When Kotoko got home she was almost ready to crash on the couch from her long day at her new job, especially from the times she had to deal with what Naoki had told everyone. She just hoped that everyone didn't learn about…

"Mom/mommy," Yuga and Ayu ran to their mother as soon they heard her come through the door. All of her stress from that day melted as she hugged her children to no end. Yuga could feel that she was worn out. He never out word asked what was wrong or what had happen if he had a feeling, but he did what he could to make his family happy. "We helped make dinner!"

At the mention of her son helping with dinner, Kotoko almost paled until her daughter corrected her brother. "It's alright mommy he just helped prep the vegetables, I did the main helping." Kotoko just laughed with her kids and took their hands as the three of them walked to the dining room.

With the smile back on his mom's face he knew that he done what he does best, make his family smile. Ever since his father's sickness had gotten worse he could see his mother looking sad, sometimes even forcing a smile. The happiest times he saw his mother truly smile was when his dad was feeling better on some days and they would go on a family outing. Yuga was scared that after his dad past away if his mother would never show her truest smile ever again; but after coming to live with the Irie's and getting to meet his biological father, he could tell that his mother would be able to smile, a genuine smile, once again.

Though he was almost certain that when he finally met Naoki, his mother wore a smile that she only ever gave his father. Yuga was almost certain that if Naoki wasn't married to that other woman, there could be a chance that they probably would have gotten together again.

Looking around at his family and his mother sitting and talking with his nicest grandmother, could tell everything would be fine for now. However, he somewhat wished that Naoki was here to eat with them instead.

Little did he know that the very same man Yuga was thinking of was thinking the same thing. Naoki had just finished warming up the food that his house keeper left for him and ` when she came through the door.

"Oh, how nice, I was afraid I eating alone tonight," stated Sahoko as she sat down at the table as Naoki put the food in front of her, than did the same for his side.

"You know if that's ever the case you could always go eat with the family," he made sure not to use the word your, as sometimes he could feel a since of separation, mainly with his; however, even though they tried to make her feel part of the family, they were better at making her feel always welcomed. Whenever he ate with Sahoko's side it always felt too formal for him.

"Well it's funny that you mention eating dinner with our family," she started to say, and using the word our, as she always liked to use ever since they got married. "I told them about Yuga and they want to have a big family dinner with all of us."

"You what?" asked Naoki trying to keep calm, but on the inside he was actually feeling a little fear as to what Oizumi family would do about the situation, and what Kotoko was going to do him once he tells her. Though he thought he might wait to tell her after Karin's surgery tomorrow so she'll work well with him.

"I thought since I was able to finally meet with your son that it would be okay if I told my parents about him, so they thought it would be a good idea to welcome Yuga into the family," Sahoko said as if it was a good idea. But Naoki could tell she listed out two important people.

"What about Kotoko and especially Ayu?" Naoki questioned trying to hold back a glare to his wife.

"Oh they are invited to, I just meant that way because Yuga is technically my stepson and is technically part of the Oizumi family," she stated. She was telling the truth, but Naoki still didn't feel right about it. "Besides it's not this weekend anyway since the kids start school next week, so I told them we should make plans for two weeks ahead."

"Sahoko, you had shouldn't have done that without at least talking to Kotoko about that," Naoki's anger was pushing to the top, and so was Sahoko's.

"Well didn't you think at some time my family would have to know?" she shot back. "Besides at least I planned the family dinner for two weeks so the kids could focus on their first week of school, and Kotoko just started work." Naoki had to admit that she was correct in all her reasoning, but he still thought that Kotoko should have a say.

"Your right, but Kotoko is still his mother and you should still should have talked with her first," at this point Naoki knew that he had screwed up, as he could now fully see how mad his wife was.

"Naoki are you kidding me, why does it always have to be through Kotoko! Your Yuga's actual father and you should have a say too! You need to stop acting like you are walking on thin ice when it's already broken! You need to start taking some action here and get everything straighten out, or else I will straighten everything out for you!"

Naoki was shocked at how his wife was acting and not just from his actions of late. There was lots of things he was noticing about his wife as of late, and he had somewhat of an idea; however, he did not have full proof yet.

Taking a deep breath he calmed his own anger and thoughts, for now. "Your right, after I explain to Kotoko we will all work this out after our big family dinner.

Something in Sahoko's smile left him with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Thank you dear, now let's finish our dinner.

Sahoko had finished her dinner like nothing had happened, while Naoki hardly ate any of his, as his brain was to full from all the thoughts and feelings he had today.
