Erina' birthday is here!
"speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
Today is March 23rd. Erina's birthday date
In Totsuki, the God Tongue and the headmistress was doing paperwork after paperwork as she even nearly forgot her own birthday date, yet again
"is that all, Hisako?" Erina asked finished signing the paper
"yes, you're free for the rest of the day" Hisako replied while looking at her tablet
Erina sighs a bit tired before the door to her office was opened and her little girl, Aki came running in
"Mama!" Aki squealed as she runs towards her mother
Erina smiles as she got off her office seat and kneels down with open arms
Aki jumps into her mother's arms as Erina hugs her and gives her loving kisses
Erina stands up carrying Aki before seeing Soma coming in with their baby boy, Haruki
"yo" Soma greeted them as he carried Haruki who was asleep "I see that Aki got here first again"
"Papa is slow!" Aki giggles as Erina smiles before looking to Haruki who was waking up while doing a cute yawn
"did Haruki have a good nap?" Soma asked his son who stretched his little hands while yawning again
"what a sleepyhead" Erina giggles seeing her son all sleepy as the child closes his eyes and fell asleep again
Both parents switch kids as Erina carries Haruki and patted the child's back
"come on" Soma said as the two the parents went out
"be back, Hisako" Erina said to her aid who nodded before heading out with her husband and kids
Going around the school, Soma and Erina were greeted by the new generation chefs
"hi!" Aki greeted some of the students as they awed to how cute she was
Soma and Erina smiles seeing their little girl being so open hearted to everyone
Walking around the hall, Soma and Erina went to their private room where there were maids in the middle of cleaning and arranging some toys on the floor
"I can see that you and Aki have been playing around" Erina said, knowing that the being cleaned mess was the making of her husband and daughter
"you can say that" Soma said with a grin before Aki runs to the couch and jumps upon it
An hour in the room, Erina and Soma played around with Aki while Haruki was sleeping in his mother's arms
Aki played around with her kitchen toys as she played pretend chef
"I made it!" Aki said while holding up a toy hamburger
"ooh, what is it?" Soma asked with a smile while twirling around a toy fork in his hand
"hambargur!" Aki replied
"it's Hamburger, Aki" Erina corrected her as Aki just smiles
The door to the room soon opened as Alice and Ryo came in
"Yahooo!" Alice greeted them while Ryo just looks bored as he carries his son
"auntie Alice!" Aki greeted her as she runs towards Alice who instantly scooped up Aki into her arms and gives her raspberry kisses, which made Aki laugh in glee
"aaawwww, Aki so cute!" Alice squealed before lifting Aki up and down and then started twirling around
"Alice!" Erina exclaimed in worry that her daughter might get hurt and on cue, Aki went flying "AKI!"
Soma catch Aki before falling on the couch as Aki just clapped her hands
"again! Again!" Aki cheered while Soma just sweatdropped and Erina started nagging at Alice who nags back
Ryo just looks lazy while carrying his son who was sucking on his pacifier
Haruki was sent into his crib as the child sleeps so peacefully while sucking on his pacifier
Erina gives her son a peck to the forehead and caresses his head before placing a blanket on top of him
"nappy nappy" Aki whispered to her little brother before giving him, her favorite bird doll
Erina patted her head with a smile before turning on the lullaby toy for Haruki
Soma was talking to Alice and Ryo as they were asked to be babysitters
"so, Aki needs to get to bed before 7" Soma said while handing a paper of what to do before putting Aki to bed "while for Haruki, you just need to give him his bottle if he's hungry or change his diaper if he cries, other than that, he's calm"
"not fun, I always let my little boy wake up before 9" Alice said before caressing her son's head while he was carried by Ryo "why the so strict curfew?"
"Erina said so, she said something about it being good for a little girl like her to get to bed fast, better growth or something" Soma said while shrugging his shoulders before Aki runs towards him and he carried her up "but if it's for my little girl's future, I guess it wouldn't hurt to do so"
"I guess so" Alice said before gently pinching Aki's cheeks and got a giggle in return
eve came as Soma and Erina were going out for dinner
Soma wore a formal suit while Erina wore a night purple dress and had a small purse in hand
"remember, Haruki's baby formula is two scoops in teaspoon size, at a lukewarm temperature, not to hot nor not to cold. Aki is not allowed to have any late night snacks, and when it is her bed time, read her a bedtime story, I had already read the little red riding hood story for her, now read the story of Jack and the Giant bean stalk next, when reading it for her, remember to have the side lamp on so that her eyes won't get hurt when reading it, make the light bright enough but not to bright, because it could damage her sight" Erina said as she listed off the things to do for her kids that she and her husband usually do "do you remember all of that?"
"yes yes" Alice said while carrying Aki "now go on your date, you lovebirds"
"I ask do you remember all of that?" Erina said crossing her arms while raising an eyebrow to her cousin
"I got it, I got it" Alice said while in truth, she didn't pay a single attention to her cousin's instruction
"come on, Erina. Our rides here" Soma said as a limo came driving in
"we'll be back by 8-9, I better see Aki in bed by then" Erina said before looking to Aki and gives her a kiss on the forehead and to the cheeks
"remember to be good, okay?" Erina said as Aki nodded with a smile
Erina smiles back before she walks towards the limo's door to which Soma had opened for her and gets in
"see you guys by 8 or 9" Soma said before he gets into the car and close the door
The limo then drives away as Aki waved good bye
"bye bye!" Aki waved goodbye to her parents
"now that the fun spoiler is gone.." Alice said "let's have some fun!"
"yay!" Aki cheered while not knowing what a sleepover is
"yes.." Ryo said lazily
The black limo was driving out of Totsuki as Soma had planned their dinner at somewhere near it
"our reservation at 6.30, and we're on 6, we should be there by 10-15 minutes" Soma said looking at his watch "you're going to love the dishes there"
Soma looks to Erina who seems to be worried of something
"what's wrong?" Soma asked before knowing what was she was worrying about "hey, I know that Alice and Kurokiba aren't our go to 1 babysitter, but give them a chance, maybe they learn to be better than last time"
Meanwhile…
"giddy up!" Aki squealed as she rides on Kurokiba's back while the man was wearing a horse mask
"yes…" Ryo said lazily
"me too!" Alice squealed as she jumps on her husband's back and instantly made him fall down
"Ojou, you're heavy.." Ryo said lazily
"rude!" Alice yelled at her husband
"probably…" Soma whispered the last part as he could imagine something crazy happening back home
"it's not that" Erina said while rubbing her right hand "It's just that I'm worried that they might not even like me"
"what're you saying? Of course they all like you!" Soma said as their dinner date was a reunion party date where all of Soma's relatives were coming "and besides! It's your birthday and if any of my cousins try to do something strange to you"
A black aura rises around Soma as the man had a dark grin just like how he once wielded the black knife in the past
"I'll just feed them a new dish of mine" Soma snickered
"Still…" Erina said a bit worried
"don't worry" Soma said before pulling Erina into a hug "everyone will love to meet you!"
The limo stops as they arrived to a high classed restaurant
"here we are" Soma said as he opened the door and reached his hand for Erina to take
Erian steps out and she could hear lots of chatters coming from inside of the restaurant
"just park at the place with my name reservation" Soma told the limo driver before holding Erina's hand "come on"
Erina gulped a bit nervously before nodding as they entered into the restaurant
Alice was staring at her hands of cards as she was in the middle of playing Uno with Ryo and Aki
"Uno!" Aki cheered as she had empty cards in her hands
"awwww~! Why does Aki beat me just like Erina!" Alice whined while Ryo had 10 cards in his hand as he just looks bored
Entering into the restaurant, Soma and Erina went to the receptionist
"name please" the receptionist asked
"Yukihira Soma" Soma said before looking to Erina "and Yukihira Erina"
"yes, your names are on the list" the receptionist said before the staff opened the door for them "please enter"
"thanks" Soma thanked the man before entering into the restaurant
Within the restaurant, dozens of people were chatting and drinking as they all were enjoying themselves in the restaurant
"yo!" Soma shouted out loud as everyone's attention was to them "we're here!"
Instantly everyone started to walk towards Soma and Erina, and started greeting them
"yo, Soma! Erina-chan!" Joichirou called out to his son as he was in the middle of drinking some wine
"still drinking, typical dad" Soma said before looking to Erina "oh yeah, Erina, meet the rest of my family"
"my Uncle, Ginman, to which you have already met with my grandpa Kazuhito" Soma said as Erina looks to Ginman and Kazuhito
"long time no see" Ginman greeted with a grin
"how are my great grandkids?" Kazuhito said with a smile
Erina bowed to them before she looks to Soma who was in front of a large group of people
"my aunts and uncles" Soma said motioning to the group of women and men together "aunt Nasai, Uncle Ippei, Aunt Sake, Uncle Yoichi, Aunt Maya, Uncle Dasai….. my cousins, Haru, Natsu, Fumi, Akiza, Lala, Nara, Bato, Rika, Naka….."
the list of just goes on and on as Erina felt her head spin trying to remember their names while Soma was easy in naming them out "and my little cousin, Kato"
"you ok?" Soma asked seeing Erina holding her head
"uh, yeah, just feeling lightheaded" Erina replied
"yo, Soma!" someone shouted out as Soma looks to the side and sees someone who looks exactly like him but has brown hair and a cowboy hat on
"oh! Rikki!" Soma greeted the man as he did a fist bump and a special handshake which ended in a high five "been good?"
"been good" Rikki replied before looking to Erina "this missy must be your bride, howdy"
"uh, howdy?" Erina replied
"he's Rikki, he's my 14th cousin, second removed from my aunt's uncle's brother's and sisters family side" Soma said as Erina just sweatdrops to how long he spoke out his cousin's relations "Rikki here comes from Texas, and man, he's one hardcore cowboy"
"and a darn good one" Rikki added in with a grin
The reunion party goes on as Erina chatted with some of Soma's family members as they all said of how lucky Soma was to have her in his life
"you two have two kids, right? A boy and a girl." Rikki said as Erina nodded "planning to add more little ones to the family tree?"
"e-e-eh!" Erina blushed hard
"hahaha, just messing with you, missy!" Rikki laughed a bit
The reunion party keeps on playing before reaching to the special part and that is Erina's birthday
"so, everyone" Soma called out as everyone's attention was to him and Erina "thanks for coming, sorry that I had to bother you all in your time but today is a very special day for us and for my wife"
A birthday cake was pushed towards them by Rikki as it was a quite nice cake
"sing a lot with me!" Soma exclaimed as he started singing a birthday song that was soon followed by the others
Erina smiled everyone before she took a deep breath and blows the candles
Everyone clapped their hands as some whistled
"hey, cous! Give her a kiss! Some of us didn't manage to see your wedding after all!" Rikki shouted as everyone started to chant
Erina blushed while Soma just chuckled and rubs the back of his head before looking to Erina
He gently holds her shoulder before tilting her chin up
Soma smiled to her before leaning down to capture her lips
Erina's hands circled around Soma's neck as she deepens the kiss
Everyone clapped, whistled and started wooing to the deep kiss
After the party was over, everyone was heading home
"thank you for coming" Rikki said as everyone bid goodbye to Soma and Erina who were going home on their limo
"thanks, Guys" Soma said as Erina bowed in gratitude
"have some more kids will ya? So that I can tell them all about my glorious soldier days" Ginman said before laughing
Erina blushed while Soma laughed a bit before the two gets into their car and drives off
"see ya!" Rikki waved them off with the others as the limo drives away
"that uncle of mine sure is some wisecrack" Soma said chuckling before looking to Erina "right?"
Erina was still blushing as she twiddles her thumbs together
"you're not seriously that embarrassed, are you?" Soma asked "my uncle loves to joke around, well not that much when he has a whip in hand, but not that much"
Erina leans her head to Soma's shoulder as the man looks to his wife
"i….want to….." Erina muttered out while giving Soma, the most cutest gaze to Soma "….i want to have…more"
Soma instantly went red as he started planning a honeymoon in his head
Meanwhile at the mansion
"and Cinderella married the prince and lived happily ever after, the end" Alice said reading a story book before throwing it away "what's next?"
"Snow white!" Aki cheered as she had the story book in hand
"ooh! I haven't read this one since I was 6!" Alice cheered as they started reading the story together
"um…..it's nearing 9, though" Ryo said while carrying a tray of drinks
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
