"It's good to see you enjoying time with your little sister," Rosa smiled as they went outside. They were standing in the yard So Rosa could talk to her alone.

"She's amazing." Rena smiled as she looked at Nao.

"So are you." Rosa giggled as she patted Rena's back. "You're going to be a fantastic mother someday."

"You mean like you?" Rena blushed as she looked back up at her.

"Hopefully, a lot better than me." Rosa sighed. "Speaking of, there's a few things I need to talk to you about."

"You're mad at me, aren't you?" Rena frowned as she looked down.

"I'm not mad." Rosa lifted Rena's chin. "I'm just worried you hid this from me. You should have told me this once it happened."

"I was scared you'd be mad." Rena lowered her voice. "Even though your sister was mean, I thought you'd be angry that I yelled at her. I thought convincing you Hinamizawa was better and would make you forget about her cause you'd be happier."

"Rena, I love that you want me to be happy, but that's not the way to go about it." Rosa let go of her chin. "This isn't even about my sister. I need to know you won't hide things like this anymore from me. I don't want you bottling this up, thinking that will help me."

"Okay." Rena slowly nodded. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Rosa smiled as she placed her hand on Rena's shoulder. "I know you were only trying to help me and Maria, which I can appreciate."

Rena smiled back as she listened to Rosa. Nao also giggled as she looked up at her sister.

"I know everyone says Maria looks like your little sister, but you can see the obvious resemblance with Nao." Rosa giggled as she tickled Nao.

"I see it too." Rena continued to smile.

"I think she wants to know her big sister." Rosa smiled at Rena. "I know you might be mad at your mother, but Nao isn't part of that."

"I know." Rena frowned as she looked back up at Rosa. "But I don't think I'm ready to forgive my mom."

"And that's okay, Rena," Rosa replied. "As I said, Nao isn't part of that. Also, I told your mom that if she wants to earn your forgiveness, she should let Nao be part of her life. Which she agreed to."

"Really?" Rena's eyes went wide.

"Yep." Rosa nodded. "Whether you ever forgive her or not, Nao should be part of your life. So be the sister I wish Eva were to me."

Rena's lip quivered as she looked back at Nao, who still smiled at her. A little bit ago, she was ready to tell her mother and Nao to get lost. Now, she couldn't picture missing out on her sister's life.

"You're the best, Rosa." Rena started to cry.

"Come here." Rosa smiled as she hugged Rena. "If anyone's the best, it would be you."

Once Rena calmed down, they went back inside the house. Both of them stopped as Rena looked at her parents.

"How bout you go back to your room and help Shion?" Rosa patted Rena's back.

"Okay." Rena nodded as she walked back to her room. Rosa then turned to Reiko.

"I talked to Rena, and she wants Nao in her life, too," Rosa explained.

"Oh, thank you." Reiko smiled. "You have no idea how great that is, too,"

"But that's it." Rosa held up her hand as she cut Reiko off. "She's not ready to talk about you being in her life again. Not saying that will never happen, but you're a long way off from her even thinking about that."

"Okay." Reiko nodded as she frowned.

"Now, with that said," Rosa sighed. "I would like it if you could discuss some arrangement with Rena so she can spend time with her sister before you go back wherever you live."

"Actually, my husband and I are looking for homes closer to here now." Reiko smiled. "Not in Hinamizawa, but close enough that it's easier for Rena and Nao to see each other."

"Live wherever you want," Rosa replied. "Just come up with a schedule for Rena and Nao to have time together."

"Yes, ma'am." Reiko nodded.

"Good." Rosa then turned to Mr. Ryuugu. "And what about you? And don't just stay quiet like you've been doing."

"I just want my daughter to be happy." Mr. Ryuugu replied.

"Good enough." Rosa nodded as she turned back to Reiko. "Now, would you mind if Rena watched Nao for the rest of the day so my daughter can have someone to play with?"

"That would be fine." Reiko nodded.

"Good." Rosa smiled. "I'll let Rena know."

Rosa left the kitchen and walked back to Rena's room. Rosa giggled as she saw Shion frowning after lifting Maria off the ground.

"I don't know how you and Rosa do this." Shion groaned as her face looked a little green. "I keep feeling like I'm going to be sick whenever I change her."

"Or Satoko." Rena giggled as she held Nao. "According to Rosa, she was able to do that with no problem."

"Stop rubbing it in." Shion groaned and glared at Rena.

"I take it Shion had to change Maria again?" Rosa walked into the room. "If it makes you feel better, I had trouble changing babies at your age too."

"How long did it take for you to get over it?" Rena asked.

"It went away after Maria was born." Rosa giggled. "Even as Battler and Jessica were close to being out of them, I still acted like Shion."

"Jessica?" Shion raised an eyebrow.

"My niece." Rosa sighed. "She's the same age as Battler."

"How come you never bring her up like Battler?" Rena asked.

"Her father, Krauss, was home more, so I rarely had to watch her," Rosa explained. "We never got close like me and Battler did."

"Wait," Shion stepped closer. "Krauss? You mean your brother who kept money from you?"

"Kept money from Rosa?" Rena frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"When I went back to my room, Eva was on the phone with Shion." Rosa pointed to Shion as she faced Rena. "When I took it back to yell at Eva, I brought up how Krauss never gave my share of our inheritance to start my own business."

"Is anyone in your family besides Battler nice to you?" Shion gritted her teeth. "I'm about ready to fight every member besides him for how much of an as…"

"How bout we don't say certain words in front of my daughter or Rena's sister?" Rena nervously laughed as she placed her hand over Shion's mouth. "With how fast Maria has been learning new words, I'd prefer if that wasn't one she was saying as much as the other ones she knows."

"Mama." Maria smiled as she looked up at her.

"See what I mean?" Rosa smiled as she lifted Maria out of Shion's arms. "Maria, would you like to stay with Rena and play with your new friend Nao?"

"You're leaving Maria here?" Rena raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"I told your mom to let you watch Nao for the rest of the day," Rosa explained. "She agreed, so I thought Maria could stay and play with her since she seems to be having fun."

"Really!?" Rena smiled as her eyes grew huge. She looked down at Nao. "I get to spend all day with my two favorite babies!"

"That's the spirit." Rosa giggled as she handed over Maria. "I'm going to go with Shion to see how Satoko and Rika are doing, so they may want to come and meet Nao, too."

"I hope they do, do." Rena smiled as she held both Nao and Maria in her arms.

"I guess we'll head out then." Rosa smiled as she turned to Shion.

"I'll meet you outside." Shion smiled as she walked out of the room. "I gotta call Mion and tell her to come over too."

"I'll see you out there." Rosa left the room before turning around and waving to Maria. "Be a good girl while Mama is gone."

"I'll make sure she is." Rena giggled. "Bye, Rosa."

"Bye."
