Summary : Kazumi wants to be a writer but her work got rejected again and on her way back home, a stranger made her fall in the metro station.
[Chapter 9]
15 days after her discussion with her boyfriend and giving her notice to Kuwabara-san, Kazumi was with a cardboard box containing a few things in front of Jun's office door. She knocked as she could, somewhat excited to work for the young woman. She came to open it and greeted her with a broad smile.
- Please, come in and sit down, Kazumi-chan. I made tea. By the way, can I call you Kazumi-chan?
- Oh ... yes, yes ... She answered by putting her cardboard next to her on the sofa where she had settled.
The publisher sat in front of her and served her a cup of tea, then grabbed her famous Harry Potter mug before adding a generous dose of honey.
- Still obsessed with honey, I see. Said Kazumi, amused.
- Absolutely, and I feel that it gets worse with the growth of the baby. Jun said, taking a sip of her infusion. So ? Glad to work with me?
The youngest nodded sincerely and drank some tea, too.
- Satoshi-kun told me that your boss was a big asshole and that you didn't want to work for a big business anymore.
- It's more or less that.
- Um, don't worry, I reaaaaaaaaaaally have to be in a bad day to misery someone else than my husband and as you can see, I only manage a humble publishing house. I hope we will do a great job together.
- Ano ... What will my work be like here? Satoshi told me that it would be in the same style as what I was doing already.
- He's all wrong. You were a secretary that's it?
- Hum.
- Here you will be my assistant. So, of course, this involves doing some paperwork and arranging appointments, but for the rest, it's different. The most of the work consists of reading with me texts that are submitted to me and discuss it to point out what's good and what's wrong, to have two opinions. Even if I reject a text, I try not to let its author leave without saying anything, I advise him on what he should change and I encourage him on what has been retained in his text.
- Wow, I didn't know that.
- Now yes. Smiles the pregnant woman. Your text was no exception, I had the opinion of Satoshi first, then my former assistant read it with me and we all loved it.
Kazumi blushed. The compliment went straight to her heart.
- And otherwise you'll help me in my tasks but nothing complicated, reassure yourself and you will not be my servant either.
- But I don't have the training required to work in publishing ...
- No need, you are especially my advisor, don't hesitate to give your opinion, it is very valuable. Smiled Jun.
Kazumi gave a long, sigh of relief.
- If everything is ok, then here is your contract, you can read it at your ease and sign it.
Jun handed her a bunch of paper sheets and a pen. Kazumi read it carefully and, finding nothing wrong, affixed her signature and her seal to the places indicated.
- Yosh! I'm happy to work with you, Kazumi-chan. Said the publisher, shaking her hand vigorously.
- Arigatou ... Matsumoto-san ...
- You can call me Jun.
Kazumi smiled.
- Well, I'll show you your office.
The two young women got up and the publisher led her new assistant to an office not far from hers in the room.
- That's your workspace but you can really enjoy the whole room. My office is the one right here, I let you take your ease and install your things, my daughter is treading on my bladder briskly.
Kazumi chuckled and saw her boss walking away to a door in the back of the room that she thought was the toilet before taking her things out of the cardboard she had placed on the table and installing them there. Jun was not coming back yet, she went around the room, which turned out to be rather spacious.
On the publisher's desk, she found a frame that clearly contained a photo of Jun, her husband, and Satoshi at their high school graduation. All were obviously much younger and she could see that her boyfriend had only beautified with time. She followed the row of other photo frames until she came across a calendar set for May 10, 2014, just over two years ago. She did not have a lot of time to ask the question of why and how Jun reappeared not far from her and startled her.
- You wonder why I keep this old calendar, right?
- Eh ? No, I... I was looking... These are not my things.
The pregnant woman smiled bitterly and spoke again.
- This is not the first time I get pregnant. The first time was two years ago. But the obstetrician diagnosed me with what is called a contractile uterus. Basically, I easily have contractions that must be monitored so that they do not trigger the birth. That's why I gave birth to my first child nearly three months in advance. Doctors could not guarantee the survival of our baby, especially since he was a fairly small size even for his prematurity, but Toma and I, we believed. We believed until the pediatrician came to see us in my room the next morning, asking us to come say goodbye.
The young woman could see a tear slide along the publisher's cheek. Jun wiped it quickly and continued without being disconcerted.
- We had hoped all night that he fought and we could bring him home one day but he was much too weak. They let me take him in my arms for the first and last time, then they let him go and he left us peacefully, this famous May 10th.
- I'm sorry, I didn't want to bring back painful memories. Kazumi said.
- Don't worry, it is me who keeps this calendar not to forget. I struggled to recover and my husband too, it's true, but we often think that if it had not happened, our couple might not be as strong and our little girl might not be on the way right now. Jun replied with a new, clear smile.
- It was a boy?
- Hum. A little boy that we called Kagerô, with the characters for "ephemeral".
Kazumi smiles in turn.
- It's a very beautiful name.
- Thank you.
- And this one, did you find her a name?
Jun rolled his eyes and put his glasses up on his nose.
- Not at all, we're still searching and Toma is just calling her "Mini Jun-chan".
- Hahaha, it's so cute!
- Not after more than 6 months, I assure you.
The publisher settled down again on one of the sofas and put both hands on the top of her belly.
- We'll see, maybe her face will give us divine illumination.
- I hope for you, "Mini Jun-chan" it's not great for entry into society. Said Kazumi coming back to settle near her new boss.
- Well ... it will not be worse than those who called their son Pikachu.
- That's for sure.
The young woman looked at her watch for a moment.
- Well, I think it's time for me to give you your first job as an assistant.
- And what is it?
- Accompany me to the restaurant for lunch. We will celebrate your arrival in the company. Said Jun getting up to grab her bag.
*****
Later that day, Kazumi had already returned home and Jun was preparing to do the same. After taking up all her belongings, she came out of her office, humming and locked the door with a turn of the key. As she took the first step towards the exit, she winced, bringing a hand to her belly. A throbbing pain had seized her, reminding her of bad memories. The panic seized the young woman for a moment but she tried to remain calm.
"It's okay, I'll be back in 10 minutes and I'll lie down, it'll be okay." She said to herself, resuming her way.
But with the fourth pain between her desk and the driver's seat of her car, she realized that it was not just contractions that would subside at rest and, while trying again to keep her cool, she made a phone call to her doctor to inform him of her condition and of her imminent arrival at the clinic where he was working.
"Pity, not a second time ..." she begged, crushing a tear before starting the contact and drive to the hospital.
*****
Toma ran in the corridors of the hospital, so much fear overwhelmed him. He had managed to articulate to the receptionist the reason for his arrival and she had told him a room in front of which he was standing now and he opened the door on the fly.
Out of breath, he scanned the room. His wife was lying in the only bed in the room, the sheet covering her legs, and stared at him with the same astonished look as the obstetrician who held a scanner stuck to the belly of his patient.
The young man began to breathe normally and then rushed to the bedside of his wife, whose hand he kissed.
- Toma, you alright? Did you run up here or what?
- Why do you look so serene so you just scared me saying you were in the hospital?
- Ikuta-san, your wife has had painful and frequent contractions and has seen fit to come to emergency. Rest assured, everything is fine, we stopped them and it didn't affect the baby. The doctor said, putting away his stuff and handing Jun a piece of paper.
- Yokatta ... sighed Toma. So why is she still hospitalized?
- It's only for a week or two, I prefer to monitor her. Then, with the fright we had today and in view of her background, I ordered her to rest at home until birth. I prefer to be careful. Now I will leave you, good evening to you. Said the obstetrician leaving the room with a small nod and a smile to the couple.
There was a long moment of silence in the room before Jun spoke again after lowering the hospital gown that was dressing her to her legs.
- I thought we would relive the same events as the first time. She said in a low voice without looking at her husband's eyes once.
He moved closer to her and hugged her as hard as he could to comfort her.
- No more danger, she'll be fine, Jun-chan. Toma whispered kissing his beloved's forehead to close his sentence.
The architect soon heard his wife chuckle, her hands still on her stomach.
- What are you laughing at ?
- It looks like she just meant the same thing as you by a kick.
He walked away and his hand joined his wife's to feel the baby's movements in turn. He smiles in the wave.
- I'm so happy to have met you, Jun.
- And I therefore. She said as one of her hands was going to land on her husband's cheek. Now if you could hurry to go home to take me clothes? I don't wear anything under this blouse and we see my buttocks as soon as I get up.
- It's shameful, I should be the only one enjoying the sight of your dream body. Teased her husband.
- Are you aware that there is a time when I have to show it to the doctor too?
- Ok, apart from him.
- Go ahead. Visiting hours will be over soon.
- Hai hai. Said Toma kissing his wife before leaving the room.
*****
Sho rang at his parents' gate and waited. His mother's voice answered him on the intercom and soon, the huge gate opened, leaving the passage to the couple.
- Let's go? Sho asked, grabbing Masaki's hand next to him.
- Hum. Acquitted this one.
Her lover could well feel his anguish. He walked down the aisle and, too quickly for his taste, found himself in front of the front door that his mother soon opened. When she saw them, her smile, ready to greet the one who might soon be her daughter-in-law, vanished immediately and her eyes passed several times from one to the other without understanding or rather with the fear of understanding, her son thought.
- Okaa-san, I introduce you to Aiba Masaki, this is the man I am in love with and who shares my life.
- Konbanwa. Masaki saluted, bowing. Sh ... Sho told me that you like daisies.
The woman accepted the bouquet handed to her with a quick smile and, with a suspicious eye, let the two young men in and led them to the dining room.
*****
The atmosphere was heavy around the dinner table. Sho's parents sometimes glanced stealthily at Masaki just before plunging into their plate with embarrassment. Himself was embarrassed, and to say that Sho had preserved him from that moment for months ... Why didn't he let him do it longer?
- Okaa-san, Otou-san, stop looking at him like that. This is not an extraterrestrial. It's a man. Said Sho.
Masaki could almost read "That's the problem" on their forehead.
- What are you ... doing in life, Aiba-san? Asked the mother of her lover.
- I am a kindergarten teacher.
Both nodded and silence returned to the room.
- I know you're disappointed but do not treat Masaki as anything less than nothing. He's the one I love and not another. Said Sho.
- We are not disappointed, rather ... surprised. Replied his father.
- Yes, we didn't know you would be attracted to a man, Sho-chan. No offense to Aiba-san.
Masaki gave a small nod.
- Why didn't you tell us?
- I realized it at the university and I never dared to say it to you for fear that you take it badly. But Masaki is my first serious relationship and I love him, I will not leave him to give you grandchildren. The reporter finished in a firm tone.
- We never said that! Said indignantly his father. If you're happy, that's all we care about. Ne ?
Mrs. Sakurai nodded.
- Well we are very happy if you want to know everything.
Sho's hand grabbed Masaki's hand to hold it tight. At that moment, as if these two years spent with him were not enough, he knew that his companion would never let him down.
- Have you been dating for two years?
- Two years we live together. Said Masaki.
- We met because we lived in neighboring apartments. By force, we spent more time in one or the other so I sold mine and moved in with him.
Sho's parents nodded with a small smile.
- How long have you been a teacher? Asked Ms. Sakurai.
- Since the end of my studies, so about 6 years.
- And what are children of what age?
- I mainly take care of the class of children between 4 and 5 years old.
- They are not too difficult?
- Sometimes, but not all of them. As a rule they are all very kind.
The conversation continued well and everyone relaxed. Masaki felt accepted in his lover's family as the evening went by. The Sakurai proved to be less rigid and intimidating than he thought before coming home and he was sorry to have to leave them at the end of the evening, not without some Tupperwares full of leftovers of the delicious dishes of Sho's mother. She had thrust them into his hands with a broad smile and made him promise to come back whenever he wanted, and then Sakurai's father had patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
- They're nice finally your parents, Sho-chan. He told his companion once in the car.
- Hum. They are the best, as I thought. He replied with a broad smile.
- Ne ? Can we come back for dinner before the end of the month? Or we could invite them home!
Sho laughed and kissed Masaki.
- We'll see.
- In any case, I hope that Kazu-chan passes such a good evening as me.
*****
Only the light of the moon flooded the room, projecting on the wall the shadows of two beings drunk with love melting into each other in a languorous rhythm.
- ... Satoshi ...
It was pretty much all that the young woman managed to say before the man above her cut her breath once more into one of his perfect thrusts. Her hands grabbed the architect's hair abruptly and she could not hold back a shriek as he withdrew briefly and plunged back into her. Seeking to be one with the chosen of his heart.
- Oh god ... she whispered just before Satoshi seized her lips to stifle their moans in perfect synchronization.
Every time they made love, her boyfriend made her head spin a little more, so that Kazumi was sure she was going crazy fast. He was perfect. It was as if he knew every single part of his body by heart. Each movement of his hips seemed calculated to bring her a little closer to the gates of Nirvana, and his agile hands with unparalleled agility during the entire amorous act could only be a gift from God to the entire humanity but of which she was the only one who had the opportunity to profit. One of them rested on her hip while the other slipped with infinite softness to her knee to dislodge her left leg from his waist and install it on his shoulder. Satoshi then leaned gently towards her and kissed her briefly before tracing a path of fiery kisses along her cheek to the junction between her jaw and her neck.
The change of position allowed Satoshi to slip deeper inside her and she moaned again, almost on the edge. But she really lost her head the second after, when Satoshi closed his teeth on her tender shoulder and thrust faster and harder, trying to hold back his own moan. He too was close to ecstasy and his girlfriend knew it very well.
- Satoshi ... I ... Panted Kazumi without being able to finish her sentence as the pleasure overwhelmed her by clinging more strongly to the hair of the architect, even if she had to lacerate his scalp.
He understood it instantly, accelerated again then, in a final hard movement stifled their orgasm by taking again possession of his partner's mouth.
Once down from the heights of their shared pleasure, he parted from her, panting, pressed his forehead to hers and released her leg. He smiled, her too. Kazumi's hands slid from his skull to his cheeks, leaving his hair behind, and she kissed the tip of his nose.
- Gomen. I had to tear you some hair. She said with a chuckle.
- It's nothing.
He looked down at Kazumi's shoulder, where a reddish tooth mark now appeared. He brushed it with his thumb.
- It hurts ? I got a little carried away.
The young woman shook her head.
- You were perfect. As always. She reassured him. I'm not made of sugar.
Satoshi nevertheless kissed the mark and then her lips before sticking his forehead to hers again.
- I love you, Kazumi. He whispered.
*****
It must have been the third time that Mitsuki had pressed her little brother's bell without getting an answer from him and it was starting to annoy her. She sighed.
- Mou ... What is he doing, uncle Satoshi? I will be late ! She said, looking down at her two girls next to her.
- He may have gone fishing. Said Konami.
- I hope not. Said her mother, pushing the door handle that turned out to be open.
She entered the apartment, calling her brother. No answer. She glanced at the living room and the kitchen before going to the hallway.
- Satoshi? Are you there ? You promised to keep the girls during my doctor's appointment!
Mitsuki reached the door of his room and opened it.
- Be careful, I go in and the girls are with me. She announced.
Indeed, it was there that she found her brother, but not only. A young woman was with him in his bed and their apparent nakedness under the bedsheets testified without problem of their activities the day before. Both of them were startled when they heard her go in and they stared at her now, looking bewildered.
- Nee-chan ... I ...
- "I" nothing at all! You didn't come to open to me! Me, your dear sister!
- Nee-chan, could you wait until we're dressed at least?
Mitsuki was already hearing her daughters giggling in the doorway.
- Nah, I'll be late. Domo, Ohno Mitsuki desu, I'm the big sister of Satoshi. She said to the young woman with a smile.
- Ni ... nomiya Kazumi desu ... she articulated, blushing violently.
- Jaa ... Sorry to be rude but I have to go. Nice to meet you!
And immediately, without giving them time to answer, she kissed her daughters and left the apartment. Her little brother was going to spend a hell of a quarter when she came back.

Summary: Sho felt shaken in all directions as a familiar voice called him. Emerging from the mists of sleep, he identified the voice as his son's, his terrified son moreover. That's what woke him up totally, his instinct regaining control of his muscles.
[Enjoy !]
Sho and Satoshi were deeply asleep. The twins who were just two month old had to wake them up in about one hour to eat. But the awakening was more abrupt than the cries of two hungry infants and also more premature.
Sho felt shaken in all directions as a familiar voice called him. Emerging from the mists of sleep, he identified the voice as his son's, his terrified son moreover. That's what woke him up totally, his instinct regaining control of his muscles.
- Doushita Masaki? He asked, noting that the child was crying.
- It's ... Jun-chan ... He's ... hurt ... he sobbed while Satoshi emerged too.
Indeed, he could hear his other son crying and moaning in pain in the other room. His heart sank and he rushed into the hallway, opened the door of the triplets' bedroom and lit the light to find Jun curled in the middle of his bed, shaking and sobbing. Stuck against his back was Kazunari who was whispering "Daijoubu, daijoubu" in a loop trying to contain his tears as well as he could as he tried to calm his brother.
- Kazu, I know you want to do well but let me take care of Jun, okay? Go join Papa and Masa in our bed, will you?
The child left the bed of his twin brother but stood at his bedside while Sho sat on the edge of the bed and turned his son toward him, trying to calm him first by running his hand through his hair. When he lingered a little more on his forehead, he found the child burning with fever and immediately his heart, already battered by the tears of his little boy, tore.
- Jun-chan, calm down honey, I'm here. Where does it hurt ?
Jun did not answer, his tears subsided a little and Sho noticed that both hands were pressing his right side.
- Your belly hurt ?
He didn't even know why he was asking since the pallor of the little face and the tears could testify alone: his little boy was suffering and moreover, he was burning with fever.
- It'll be fine ... Sho said as much to reassure himself as to reassure the child.
When he raised his head, Satoshi was there, in the doorway, looking as serious as him while Masaki still hiccupped in his arms.
- Satoshi, I think we have to go to the hospital, Jun-chan is not well.
His man nodded and then they went into action.
All this had happened several hours before. And Sho was now at his son's bedside in a hospital room. The child was sleeping and his father was gently stroking his hair.
Satoshi arrived in the room with a bag that he placed on an armchair in the room and then kissed Jun on the forehead and went to join his lover.
- So ? Asked he.
- This is an appendicitis, they will operate Jun-chan this afternoon and in the meantime they give him antibiotics to prevent the infection from getting worse.
- Hum.
In front of Sho's silence, the older man understood that his anxiety would not leave him anytime soon. Of course, that was his case too, but he knew that when one of their children was ill, it was always his lover the most distressed of them. His hand went to Sho's in a reassuring gesture.
- Don't worry, it'll be fine. The surgeon knows what he is doing, it's a very common surgery.
His words did not seem reassuring for his husband.
- And you know that Jun-chan is tenacious, just like you.
A small smile appeared on Sho's face and Satoshi shouted victory in his head.
- I know all this but they are my children, they were a part of me, I ... I really can't bear to see them suffer, especially not Jun-chan. He has always been so small and fragile.
- I know. I will always remember the first time he looked at me with his big eyes when he and his brothers were born. That's when I really started being proud of being their father.
- And do you remember his eyebrows already at birth? I always wondered where it came from. Laughed Sho, brushing his son's eyebrows with the tip of his index finger.
Satoshi smiled.
- He'll be fine, Sho-chan.
*****
A few hours later, Sho and Satoshi were walking beside the bed on which their son was lying, pushed by nurses. Jun was awake but obviously not for long, and each of his parents held one of his little hands in his. The caregivers stopped at a large door and let the parents reassure the boy one last time before taking him to the operating room. Sho and Satoshi stooped to meet Jun who was obviously not reassured.
- Don't worry Jun-chan, you will not feel anything when the doctor will put you asleep. Sho reassured him.
- Will you be there when I wake up?
- Yes of course.
- I want to see Masa and Kazu. Jun lamented.
- They can't come to see you now but as soon as they can, Papa will pick them up. Ne ?
Satoshi nodded.
- Jaa, see you soon my champion. Sho finished with a kiss on the boy's forehead, imitated by his lover.
Once they were raised, the nurses took their son to the other side of the door and they continued to wave at him until the last shudder of the door. Sho then fell, sighing on one of the chairs in the hallway. Satoshi imitated him and wrapped his arm around him before kissing his temple.
- Everything will be fine, Sho-chan.
- I know.
*****
Ms. Sakurai went to her room where an extra bed had been set up for her two youngest grandchildren. They were still sleeping since she had been lying there with her husband 1 hour earlier. But when she turned her head, she could see their two big brothers curled up against the wall and pressed against each other, staring at the void.
- Masa-chan? Kazu-chan? What are you doing here in the dark? She asked.
She knew it very well, her son-in-law had warned her: as soon as the triplets were separated for a certain period of time, and even more when one of them was not well, the two remaining were seeking the most comfort from each other as possible, just like today.
- Jun-chan is sick. Said Masaki without letting go of his brother.
- Um, I already know that, darling. But he will heal quickly, don't worry. Your dad just phoned, the doctor will operate Jun-chan and after he will be much better. He also promised to call when he woke up from the operation. Instead of staying here, don't you want to make a nice drawing or a nice card for Jun-chan to feel better?
The two children nodded briefly and their grandmother held out their hands to bring them back to the living room.
*****
Several hours later, the phone rang in the Sakurai's living room and the boys jerked while their grandfather went to take the phone.
- Hai, Sakurai desu ... Hai, Sho-chan ... Hmm ... Yokatta ... He woke up? That's good news.
While talking to his son, Sakurai turned to his grandchildren who seemed to beg him.
- Sho-chan, I pass you your boys, they are dying to talk to you I think.
Kazunari and Masaki rushed to the phone that their grandfather handed them.
- Hello, Daddy?
- Masa, honey, how are you?
- I'm fine.
- And your brother ?
- I'm fine too. Kazunari replied, a big smile on his face.
- And Jun-chan he's fine?
- Yes, yes, he just woke up. He is still a little in the clouds but he is fine.
- Can we come to see him?
- I'm sorry, I know you really want to come see him but the doctor said not until tomorrow.
- Ooooh ... the two children let go, disappointed.
- Do you want to talk to him a little bit?
- We can ? Asked Kazunari.
- Yes, but not very long, he need rest.
There was a moment of silence and then a small, familiar voice echoed in their ears and made them smile broadly.
- Masa-nii? Kazu-nii? Asked the slow, tired voice of their brother.
- Jun-chan! Are you okay ?
- Hmm ... I didn't feel anything ... But now when I'm laughing it hurts a bit. The doctor said it's because of the threads in my belly ...
- Yokatta ne? said Masaki.
- Hum ...
They heard the little boy yawn and their father pick up the phone.
- I'll let you, okay? Jun-chan will go back to sleep. Papa will bring you back with the little brothers at home tonight and bring you to the hospital tomorrow okay?
- Okay ! nodded the two children.
- See you tomorrow, I love you, boys.
- We also love you Daddy!
The young man hung up and Masaki handed the phone to his grandfather, impatient just like Kazunari for the next day to come.
*****
- Wait for me ! Satoshi threw to his sons, who were walking ahead of him in the corridors of the hospital.
He even wondered how the two children could know the way to Jun's room but it did not last long, it was not the first time his sons acted as if communicating telepathically.
He caught them quickly and took them by the hand.
- I know you're impatient but remember what you've been told many times.
- We must not get away from you or Daddy. Said Masaki.
- If not ?
- We are punished at home. Kazunari finished.
- Well, be gentle, Jun-chan needs rest. Said Satoshi sliding the door of the room.
Immediately, all three were greeted by Jun who was already taking colors and his huge smile while Sho installed him comfortably in the chair next to his bed.
- Ohayo Patoshi! Ohayo Kazu-nii, Masa-nii!
But where their sons surprised Sho and Satoshi was when they stood for long seconds motionless without saying anything, to fix their little brother.
- Jun-chan ... Masaki whispered in a voice filled with sobs.
Kazunari ran ahead of him, holding Jun in his arms and sticking his forehead to his temple without being able to stop crying. Masaki joined them. The room was then animated only by the tears of relief of the two children. Sho tried to comfort them and Satoshi likewise with more or less effect until they ended up drying their tears themselve.
- Gambatta ne? Kazunari said with a big smile, ruffling Jun's hair.
- Hum!
Note: Here's two works for the price of one and again, sorry for the delay ^^". Also, since yesterday I can't get over Fake it and you ?

Summary : Kazumi wants to be a writer but her work got rejected again and on her way back home, a stranger made her fall in the metro station.
[Chapter 9]
15 days after her discussion with her boyfriend and giving her notice to Kuwabara-san, Kazumi was with a cardboard box containing a few things in front of Jun's office door. She knocked as she could, somewhat excited to work for the young woman. She came to open it and greeted her with a broad smile.
- Please, come in and sit down, Kazumi-chan. I made tea. By the way, can I call you Kazumi-chan?
- Oh ... yes, yes ... She answered by putting her cardboard next to her on the sofa where she had settled.
The publisher sat in front of her and served her a cup of tea, then grabbed her famous Harry Potter mug before adding a generous dose of honey.
- Still obsessed with honey, I see. Said Kazumi, amused.
- Absolutely, and I feel that it gets worse with the growth of the baby. Jun said, taking a sip of her infusion. So ? Glad to work with me?
The youngest nodded sincerely and drank some tea, too.
- Satoshi-kun told me that your boss was a big asshole and that you didn't want to work for a big business anymore.
- It's more or less that.
- Um, don't worry, I reaaaaaaaaaaally have to be in a bad day to misery someone else than my husband and as you can see, I only manage a humble publishing house. I hope we will do a great job together.
- Ano ... What will my work be like here? Satoshi told me that it would be in the same style as what I was doing already.
- He's all wrong. You were a secretary that's it?
- Hum.
- Here you will be my assistant. So, of course, this involves doing some paperwork and arranging appointments, but for the rest, it's different. The most of the work consists of reading with me texts that are submitted to me and discuss it to point out what's good and what's wrong, to have two opinions. Even if I reject a text, I try not to let its author leave without saying anything, I advise him on what he should change and I encourage him on what has been retained in his text.
- Wow, I didn't know that.
- Now yes. Smiles the pregnant woman. Your text was no exception, I had the opinion of Satoshi first, then my former assistant read it with me and we all loved it.
Kazumi blushed. The compliment went straight to her heart.
- And otherwise you'll help me in my tasks but nothing complicated, reassure yourself and you will not be my servant either.
- But I don't have the training required to work in publishing ...
- No need, you are especially my advisor, don't hesitate to give your opinion, it is very valuable. Smiled Jun.
Kazumi gave a long, sigh of relief.
- If everything is ok, then here is your contract, you can read it at your ease and sign it.
Jun handed her a bunch of paper sheets and a pen. Kazumi read it carefully and, finding nothing wrong, affixed her signature and her seal to the places indicated.
- Yosh! I'm happy to work with you, Kazumi-chan. Said the publisher, shaking her hand vigorously.
- Arigatou ... Matsumoto-san ...
- You can call me Jun.
Kazumi smiled.
- Well, I'll show you your office.
The two young women got up and the publisher led her new assistant to an office not far from hers in the room.
- That's your workspace but you can really enjoy the whole room. My office is the one right here, I let you take your ease and install your things, my daughter is treading on my bladder briskly.
Kazumi chuckled and saw her boss walking away to a door in the back of the room that she thought was the toilet before taking her things out of the cardboard she had placed on the table and installing them there. Jun was not coming back yet, she went around the room, which turned out to be rather spacious.
On the publisher's desk, she found a frame that clearly contained a photo of Jun, her husband, and Satoshi at their high school graduation. All were obviously much younger and she could see that her boyfriend had only beautified with time. She followed the row of other photo frames until she came across a calendar set for May 10, 2014, just over two years ago. She did not have a lot of time to ask the question of why and how Jun reappeared not far from her and startled her.
- You wonder why I keep this old calendar, right?
- Eh ? No, I... I was looking... These are not my things.
The pregnant woman smiled bitterly and spoke again.
- This is not the first time I get pregnant. The first time was two years ago. But the obstetrician diagnosed me with what is called a contractile uterus. Basically, I easily have contractions that must be monitored so that they do not trigger the birth. That's why I gave birth to my first child nearly three months in advance. Doctors could not guarantee the survival of our baby, especially since he was a fairly small size even for his prematurity, but Toma and I, we believed. We believed until the pediatrician came to see us in my room the next morning, asking us to come say goodbye.
The young woman could see a tear slide along the publisher's cheek. Jun wiped it quickly and continued without being disconcerted.
- We had hoped all night that he fought and we could bring him home one day but he was much too weak. They let me take him in my arms for the first and last time, then they let him go and he left us peacefully, this famous May 10th.
- I'm sorry, I didn't want to bring back painful memories. Kazumi said.
- Don't worry, it is me who keeps this calendar not to forget. I struggled to recover and my husband too, it's true, but we often think that if it had not happened, our couple might not be as strong and our little girl might not be on the way right now. Jun replied with a new, clear smile.
- It was a boy?
- Hum. A little boy that we called Kagerô, with the characters for "ephemeral".
Kazumi smiles in turn.
- It's a very beautiful name.
- Thank you.
- And this one, did you find her a name?
Jun rolled his eyes and put his glasses up on his nose.
- Not at all, we're still searching and Toma is just calling her "Mini Jun-chan".
- Hahaha, it's so cute!
- Not after more than 6 months, I assure you.
The publisher settled down again on one of the sofas and put both hands on the top of her belly.
- We'll see, maybe her face will give us divine illumination.
- I hope for you, "Mini Jun-chan" it's not great for entry into society. Said Kazumi coming back to settle near her new boss.
- Well ... it will not be worse than those who called their son Pikachu.
- That's for sure.
The young woman looked at her watch for a moment.
- Well, I think it's time for me to give you your first job as an assistant.
- And what is it?
- Accompany me to the restaurant for lunch. We will celebrate your arrival in the company. Said Jun getting up to grab her bag.
*****
Later that day, Kazumi had already returned home and Jun was preparing to do the same. After taking up all her belongings, she came out of her office, humming and locked the door with a turn of the key. As she took the first step towards the exit, she winced, bringing a hand to her belly. A throbbing pain had seized her, reminding her of bad memories. The panic seized the young woman for a moment but she tried to remain calm.
"It's okay, I'll be back in 10 minutes and I'll lie down, it'll be okay." She said to herself, resuming her way.
But with the fourth pain between her desk and the driver's seat of her car, she realized that it was not just contractions that would subside at rest and, while trying again to keep her cool, she made a phone call to her doctor to inform him of her condition and of her imminent arrival at the clinic where he was working.
"Pity, not a second time ..." she begged, crushing a tear before starting the contact and drive to the hospital.
*****
Toma ran in the corridors of the hospital, so much fear overwhelmed him. He had managed to articulate to the receptionist the reason for his arrival and she had told him a room in front of which he was standing now and he opened the door on the fly.
Out of breath, he scanned the room. His wife was lying in the only bed in the room, the sheet covering her legs, and stared at him with the same astonished look as the obstetrician who held a scanner stuck to the belly of his patient.
The young man began to breathe normally and then rushed to the bedside of his wife, whose hand he kissed.
- Toma, you alright? Did you run up here or what?
- Why do you look so serene so you just scared me saying you were in the hospital?
- Ikuta-san, your wife has had painful and frequent contractions and has seen fit to come to emergency. Rest assured, everything is fine, we stopped them and it didn't affect the baby. The doctor said, putting away his stuff and handing Jun a piece of paper.
- Yokatta ... sighed Toma. So why is she still hospitalized?
- It's only for a week or two, I prefer to monitor her. Then, with the fright we had today and in view of her background, I ordered her to rest at home until birth. I prefer to be careful. Now I will leave you, good evening to you. Said the obstetrician leaving the room with a small nod and a smile to the couple.
There was a long moment of silence in the room before Jun spoke again after lowering the hospital gown that was dressing her to her legs.
- I thought we would relive the same events as the first time. She said in a low voice without looking at her husband's eyes once.
He moved closer to her and hugged her as hard as he could to comfort her.
- No more danger, she'll be fine, Jun-chan. Toma whispered kissing his beloved's forehead to close his sentence.
The architect soon heard his wife chuckle, her hands still on her stomach.
- What are you laughing at ?
- It looks like she just meant the same thing as you by a kick.
He walked away and his hand joined his wife's to feel the baby's movements in turn. He smiles in the wave.
- I'm so happy to have met you, Jun.
- And I therefore. She said as one of her hands was going to land on her husband's cheek. Now if you could hurry to go home to take me clothes? I don't wear anything under this blouse and we see my buttocks as soon as I get up.
- It's shameful, I should be the only one enjoying the sight of your dream body. Teased her husband.
- Are you aware that there is a time when I have to show it to the doctor too?
- Ok, apart from him.
- Go ahead. Visiting hours will be over soon.
- Hai hai. Said Toma kissing his wife before leaving the room.
*****
Sho rang at his parents' gate and waited. His mother's voice answered him on the intercom and soon, the huge gate opened, leaving the passage to the couple.
- Let's go? Sho asked, grabbing Masaki's hand next to him.
- Hum. Acquitted this one.
Her lover could well feel his anguish. He walked down the aisle and, too quickly for his taste, found himself in front of the front door that his mother soon opened. When she saw them, her smile, ready to greet the one who might soon be her daughter-in-law, vanished immediately and her eyes passed several times from one to the other without understanding or rather with the fear of understanding, her son thought.
- Okaa-san, I introduce you to Aiba Masaki, this is the man I am in love with and who shares my life.
- Konbanwa. Masaki saluted, bowing. Sh ... Sho told me that you like daisies.
The woman accepted the bouquet handed to her with a quick smile and, with a suspicious eye, let the two young men in and led them to the dining room.
*****
The atmosphere was heavy around the dinner table. Sho's parents sometimes glanced stealthily at Masaki just before plunging into their plate with embarrassment. Himself was embarrassed, and to say that Sho had preserved him from that moment for months ... Why didn't he let him do it longer?
- Okaa-san, Otou-san, stop looking at him like that. This is not an extraterrestrial. It's a man. Said Sho.
Masaki could almost read "That's the problem" on their forehead.
- What are you ... doing in life, Aiba-san? Asked the mother of her lover.
- I am a kindergarten teacher.
Both nodded and silence returned to the room.
- I know you're disappointed but do not treat Masaki as anything less than nothing. He's the one I love and not another. Said Sho.
- We are not disappointed, rather ... surprised. Replied his father.
- Yes, we didn't know you would be attracted to a man, Sho-chan. No offense to Aiba-san.
Masaki gave a small nod.
- Why didn't you tell us?
- I realized it at the university and I never dared to say it to you for fear that you take it badly. But Masaki is my first serious relationship and I love him, I will not leave him to give you grandchildren. The reporter finished in a firm tone.
- We never said that! Said indignantly his father. If you're happy, that's all we care about. Ne ?
Mrs. Sakurai nodded.
- Well we are very happy if you want to know everything.
Sho's hand grabbed Masaki's hand to hold it tight. At that moment, as if these two years spent with him were not enough, he knew that his companion would never let him down.
- Have you been dating for two years?
- Two years we live together. Said Masaki.
- We met because we lived in neighboring apartments. By force, we spent more time in one or the other so I sold mine and moved in with him.
Sho's parents nodded with a small smile.
- How long have you been a teacher? Asked Ms. Sakurai.
- Since the end of my studies, so about 6 years.
- And what are children of what age?
- I mainly take care of the class of children between 4 and 5 years old.
- They are not too difficult?
- Sometimes, but not all of them. As a rule they are all very kind.
The conversation continued well and everyone relaxed. Masaki felt accepted in his lover's family as the evening went by. The Sakurai proved to be less rigid and intimidating than he thought before coming home and he was sorry to have to leave them at the end of the evening, not without some Tupperwares full of leftovers of the delicious dishes of Sho's mother. She had thrust them into his hands with a broad smile and made him promise to come back whenever he wanted, and then Sakurai's father had patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
- They're nice finally your parents, Sho-chan. He told his companion once in the car.
- Hum. They are the best, as I thought. He replied with a broad smile.
- Ne ? Can we come back for dinner before the end of the month? Or we could invite them home!
Sho laughed and kissed Masaki.
- We'll see.
- In any case, I hope that Kazu-chan passes such a good evening as me.
*****
Only the light of the moon flooded the room, projecting on the wall the shadows of two beings drunk with love melting into each other in a languorous rhythm.
- ... Satoshi ...
It was pretty much all that the young woman managed to say before the man above her cut her breath once more into one of his perfect thrusts. Her hands grabbed the architect's hair abruptly and she could not hold back a shriek as he withdrew briefly and plunged back into her. Seeking to be one with the chosen of his heart.
- Oh god ... she whispered just before Satoshi seized her lips to stifle their moans in perfect synchronization.
Every time they made love, her boyfriend made her head spin a little more, so that Kazumi was sure she was going crazy fast. He was perfect. It was as if he knew every single part of his body by heart. Each movement of his hips seemed calculated to bring her a little closer to the gates of Nirvana, and his agile hands with unparalleled agility during the entire amorous act could only be a gift from God to the entire humanity but of which she was the only one who had the opportunity to profit. One of them rested on her hip while the other slipped with infinite softness to her knee to dislodge her left leg from his waist and install it on his shoulder. Satoshi then leaned gently towards her and kissed her briefly before tracing a path of fiery kisses along her cheek to the junction between her jaw and her neck.
The change of position allowed Satoshi to slip deeper inside her and she moaned again, almost on the edge. But she really lost her head the second after, when Satoshi closed his teeth on her tender shoulder and thrust faster and harder, trying to hold back his own moan. He too was close to ecstasy and his girlfriend knew it very well.
- Satoshi ... I ... Panted Kazumi without being able to finish her sentence as the pleasure overwhelmed her by clinging more strongly to the hair of the architect, even if she had to lacerate his scalp.
He understood it instantly, accelerated again then, in a final hard movement stifled their orgasm by taking again possession of his partner's mouth.
Once down from the heights of their shared pleasure, he parted from her, panting, pressed his forehead to hers and released her leg. He smiled, her too. Kazumi's hands slid from his skull to his cheeks, leaving his hair behind, and she kissed the tip of his nose.
- Gomen. I had to tear you some hair. She said with a chuckle.
- It's nothing.
He looked down at Kazumi's shoulder, where a reddish tooth mark now appeared. He brushed it with his thumb.
- It hurts ? I got a little carried away.
The young woman shook her head.
- You were perfect. As always. She reassured him. I'm not made of sugar.
Satoshi nevertheless kissed the mark and then her lips before sticking his forehead to hers again.
- I love you, Kazumi. He whispered.
*****
It must have been the third time that Mitsuki had pressed her little brother's bell without getting an answer from him and it was starting to annoy her. She sighed.
- Mou ... What is he doing, uncle Satoshi? I will be late ! She said, looking down at her two girls next to her.
- He may have gone fishing. Said Konami.
- I hope not. Said her mother, pushing the door handle that turned out to be open.
She entered the apartment, calling her brother. No answer. She glanced at the living room and the kitchen before going to the hallway.
- Satoshi? Are you there ? You promised to keep the girls during my doctor's appointment!
Mitsuki reached the door of his room and opened it.
- Be careful, I go in and the girls are with me. She announced.
Indeed, it was there that she found her brother, but not only. A young woman was with him in his bed and their apparent nakedness under the bedsheets testified without problem of their activities the day before. Both of them were startled when they heard her go in and they stared at her now, looking bewildered.
- Nee-chan ... I ...
- "I" nothing at all! You didn't come to open to me! Me, your dear sister!
- Nee-chan, could you wait until we're dressed at least?
Mitsuki was already hearing her daughters giggling in the doorway.
- Nah, I'll be late. Domo, Ohno Mitsuki desu, I'm the big sister of Satoshi. She said to the young woman with a smile.
- Ni ... nomiya Kazumi desu ... she articulated, blushing violently.
- Jaa ... Sorry to be rude but I have to go. Nice to meet you!
And immediately, without giving them time to answer, she kissed her daughters and left the apartment. Her little brother was going to spend a hell of a quarter when she came back.

Summary: Sho felt shaken in all directions as a familiar voice called him. Emerging from the mists of sleep, he identified the voice as his son's, his terrified son moreover. That's what woke him up totally, his instinct regaining control of his muscles.
[Enjoy !]
Sho and Satoshi were deeply asleep. The twins who were just two month old had to wake them up in about one hour to eat. But the awakening was more abrupt than the cries of two hungry infants and also more premature.
Sho felt shaken in all directions as a familiar voice called him. Emerging from the mists of sleep, he identified the voice as his son's, his terrified son moreover. That's what woke him up totally, his instinct regaining control of his muscles.
- Doushita Masaki? He asked, noting that the child was crying.
- It's ... Jun-chan ... He's ... hurt ... he sobbed while Satoshi emerged too.
Indeed, he could hear his other son crying and moaning in pain in the other room. His heart sank and he rushed into the hallway, opened the door of the triplets' bedroom and lit the light to find Jun curled in the middle of his bed, shaking and sobbing. Stuck against his back was Kazunari who was whispering "Daijoubu, daijoubu" in a loop trying to contain his tears as well as he could as he tried to calm his brother.
- Kazu, I know you want to do well but let me take care of Jun, okay? Go join Papa and Masa in our bed, will you?
The child left the bed of his twin brother but stood at his bedside while Sho sat on the edge of the bed and turned his son toward him, trying to calm him first by running his hand through his hair. When he lingered a little more on his forehead, he found the child burning with fever and immediately his heart, already battered by the tears of his little boy, tore.
- Jun-chan, calm down honey, I'm here. Where does it hurt ?
Jun did not answer, his tears subsided a little and Sho noticed that both hands were pressing his right side.
- Your belly hurt ?
He didn't even know why he was asking since the pallor of the little face and the tears could testify alone: his little boy was suffering and moreover, he was burning with fever.
- It'll be fine ... Sho said as much to reassure himself as to reassure the child.
When he raised his head, Satoshi was there, in the doorway, looking as serious as him while Masaki still hiccupped in his arms.
- Satoshi, I think we have to go to the hospital, Jun-chan is not well.
His man nodded and then they went into action.
All this had happened several hours before. And Sho was now at his son's bedside in a hospital room. The child was sleeping and his father was gently stroking his hair.
Satoshi arrived in the room with a bag that he placed on an armchair in the room and then kissed Jun on the forehead and went to join his lover.
- So ? Asked he.
- This is an appendicitis, they will operate Jun-chan this afternoon and in the meantime they give him antibiotics to prevent the infection from getting worse.
- Hum.
In front of Sho's silence, the older man understood that his anxiety would not leave him anytime soon. Of course, that was his case too, but he knew that when one of their children was ill, it was always his lover the most distressed of them. His hand went to Sho's in a reassuring gesture.
- Don't worry, it'll be fine. The surgeon knows what he is doing, it's a very common surgery.
His words did not seem reassuring for his husband.
- And you know that Jun-chan is tenacious, just like you.
A small smile appeared on Sho's face and Satoshi shouted victory in his head.
- I know all this but they are my children, they were a part of me, I ... I really can't bear to see them suffer, especially not Jun-chan. He has always been so small and fragile.
- I know. I will always remember the first time he looked at me with his big eyes when he and his brothers were born. That's when I really started being proud of being their father.
- And do you remember his eyebrows already at birth? I always wondered where it came from. Laughed Sho, brushing his son's eyebrows with the tip of his index finger.
Satoshi smiled.
- He'll be fine, Sho-chan.
*****
A few hours later, Sho and Satoshi were walking beside the bed on which their son was lying, pushed by nurses. Jun was awake but obviously not for long, and each of his parents held one of his little hands in his. The caregivers stopped at a large door and let the parents reassure the boy one last time before taking him to the operating room. Sho and Satoshi stooped to meet Jun who was obviously not reassured.
- Don't worry Jun-chan, you will not feel anything when the doctor will put you asleep. Sho reassured him.
- Will you be there when I wake up?
- Yes of course.
- I want to see Masa and Kazu. Jun lamented.
- They can't come to see you now but as soon as they can, Papa will pick them up. Ne ?
Satoshi nodded.
- Jaa, see you soon my champion. Sho finished with a kiss on the boy's forehead, imitated by his lover.
Once they were raised, the nurses took their son to the other side of the door and they continued to wave at him until the last shudder of the door. Sho then fell, sighing on one of the chairs in the hallway. Satoshi imitated him and wrapped his arm around him before kissing his temple.
- Everything will be fine, Sho-chan.
- I know.
*****
Ms. Sakurai went to her room where an extra bed had been set up for her two youngest grandchildren. They were still sleeping since she had been lying there with her husband 1 hour earlier. But when she turned her head, she could see their two big brothers curled up against the wall and pressed against each other, staring at the void.
- Masa-chan? Kazu-chan? What are you doing here in the dark? She asked.
She knew it very well, her son-in-law had warned her: as soon as the triplets were separated for a certain period of time, and even more when one of them was not well, the two remaining were seeking the most comfort from each other as possible, just like today.
- Jun-chan is sick. Said Masaki without letting go of his brother.
- Um, I already know that, darling. But he will heal quickly, don't worry. Your dad just phoned, the doctor will operate Jun-chan and after he will be much better. He also promised to call when he woke up from the operation. Instead of staying here, don't you want to make a nice drawing or a nice card for Jun-chan to feel better?
The two children nodded briefly and their grandmother held out their hands to bring them back to the living room.
*****
Several hours later, the phone rang in the Sakurai's living room and the boys jerked while their grandfather went to take the phone.
- Hai, Sakurai desu ... Hai, Sho-chan ... Hmm ... Yokatta ... He woke up? That's good news.
While talking to his son, Sakurai turned to his grandchildren who seemed to beg him.
- Sho-chan, I pass you your boys, they are dying to talk to you I think.
Kazunari and Masaki rushed to the phone that their grandfather handed them.
- Hello, Daddy?
- Masa, honey, how are you?
- I'm fine.
- And your brother ?
- I'm fine too. Kazunari replied, a big smile on his face.
- And Jun-chan he's fine?
- Yes, yes, he just woke up. He is still a little in the clouds but he is fine.
- Can we come to see him?
- I'm sorry, I know you really want to come see him but the doctor said not until tomorrow.
- Ooooh ... the two children let go, disappointed.
- Do you want to talk to him a little bit?
- We can ? Asked Kazunari.
- Yes, but not very long, he need rest.
There was a moment of silence and then a small, familiar voice echoed in their ears and made them smile broadly.
- Masa-nii? Kazu-nii? Asked the slow, tired voice of their brother.
- Jun-chan! Are you okay ?
- Hmm ... I didn't feel anything ... But now when I'm laughing it hurts a bit. The doctor said it's because of the threads in my belly ...
- Yokatta ne? said Masaki.
- Hum ...
They heard the little boy yawn and their father pick up the phone.
- I'll let you, okay? Jun-chan will go back to sleep. Papa will bring you back with the little brothers at home tonight and bring you to the hospital tomorrow okay?
- Okay ! nodded the two children.
- See you tomorrow, I love you, boys.
- We also love you Daddy!
The young man hung up and Masaki handed the phone to his grandfather, impatient just like Kazunari for the next day to come.
*****
- Wait for me ! Satoshi threw to his sons, who were walking ahead of him in the corridors of the hospital.
He even wondered how the two children could know the way to Jun's room but it did not last long, it was not the first time his sons acted as if communicating telepathically.
He caught them quickly and took them by the hand.
- I know you're impatient but remember what you've been told many times.
- We must not get away from you or Daddy. Said Masaki.
- If not ?
- We are punished at home. Kazunari finished.
- Well, be gentle, Jun-chan needs rest. Said Satoshi sliding the door of the room.
Immediately, all three were greeted by Jun who was already taking colors and his huge smile while Sho installed him comfortably in the chair next to his bed.
- Ohayo Patoshi! Ohayo Kazu-nii, Masa-nii!
But where their sons surprised Sho and Satoshi was when they stood for long seconds motionless without saying anything, to fix their little brother.
- Jun-chan ... Masaki whispered in a voice filled with sobs.
Kazunari ran ahead of him, holding Jun in his arms and sticking his forehead to his temple without being able to stop crying. Masaki joined them. The room was then animated only by the tears of relief of the two children. Sho tried to comfort them and Satoshi likewise with more or less effect until they ended up drying their tears themselve.
- Gambatta ne? Kazunari said with a big smile, ruffling Jun's hair.
- Hum!
Note: Here's two works for the price of one and again, sorry for the delay ^^". Also, since yesterday I can't get over Fake it and you ?
