Ch. 34
(A/N): So, sorry there wasn't an update Friday, but here it is. But the real sorry was not updating last weekend. I'm been coming down to the wire on a lot of assignments and these last two weeks have been killer, I'm hoping to update another chapter Wednesday and there will be new chapter Friday. I want to thank everyone for following and reading and for all the reviews. I do not own MK-LT.
Ch. 34
The next day that morning at the hospital Kotoko and Naoki were getting prep to do surgery on their old school mate. Nurses Kikyo and Ogura were prepping Kikyo, while Watanabe was waiting in the waiting room with his mother-in-law. Finally was the time for the surgery.
"You know I never thought I'd be helping in a surgery so soon, especially since it's only my second day here," stated Kotoko as they walked back into the room to perform the surgery.
"Well from what we were told, even though it took you some time to be more of use, you quickly became one of the top nurses in these situations," Naoki told her as Ogura pushed in Karin.
As Naoki began with the assistance of Kotoko, both were unaware of the smiling nurse behind them making sure everything was running smoothly. After they were finished Ogura along with Kikyo wheeled Karin back to her room to recuperate, while Naoki went to inform Watanabe on the surgery.
"Thank goodness," Watanabe let out a sigh. "Can you call the kids and let them know while I check on their mother?" to his mother in-law.
"Of course, thank you again Naoki," said the older woman bowing then went to call her grandchildren.
"Can I go see her now?" asked Watanabe.
"Of course you can," said Naoki as he led the way to his patient's room.
"So where is Kotoko?" asked Watanabe. "I wanted to thank her too. I'm still surprised she became a nurse."
"I was too, but we heard she became one of the top nurses at the Kobe hospital," replayed Naoki. "She said she had to go get something after cleaning up.
When they got to Karin's room Kotoko was already there putting some flowers down on a table. "That's what you had to go get?"
"Well besides seeing her husband when he wakes, it's nice waking up to something nice besides a stuffy hospital room," stated Kotoko. "Plus it became a force of habit for me when my husband was in the hospital."
"Well I appreciate you're your kindness," Watanabe said with a smile. "Also we talked about this after you left; we wanted to know if you and your kids would like to come to a party we are throwing for the kids, a kind of back to school pool party."
"Sure, I'll talk to them, besides I think it would be nice since their going to be in the same classes," Kotoko said smiling,
"That's right, you said your kids were very smart," said Watanabe with a chuckle.
"You two can talk about this later," stated Naoki. "Ns. Mikado why don't we let them be?"
"Of course," said Kotoko. "We will check on her after a while.
"Yes and thank you again," said Watanabe as they walked out the door.
Now that they were alone, Naoki knew was the time to tell Kotoko what Sahoko had done. "So it was nice that they invited you and the kids to their party."
"Oh yeah, I'm just hoping the kids will make friends," said Kotoko with a small smile. "They were pretty sad to leave all their other friends behind."
"That pretty understandable," said Naoki keeping his cool like he normally does, but on the inside he had a since of fear growing. "But I should tell you something."
"What's that?" questioned Kotoko.
"Don't make any plans for next two weeks, basically for the first weekend after the kids start school," said Naoki like it was nothing.
"What?" Kotoko questioned.
Naoki let out a sigh, "Sahoko told her family and now we are all invited to dinner after the kids first week of school."
"WHAT?!"
"That sounded like mommy," said Ayu as she and Yuga played ball outside.
Yuki just shook his head. 'What did he do now?"
"How could she do that without asking me first?!" exclaimed Kotoko, her face getting read from anger.
"She did make a point that they were going to have to know at some point," said Naoki trying to defuse the situation to no avail.
"I don't mind that, but I would have liked it if the three of us could sit down first and work something out before we told them! This is what I have been constantly saying; EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOING TO FAST!"
"Now I'm sure that was mom," said Yuga.
'He must be more screwed than I thought.'
