You are the only One <>
At first, it was hard for her to accept them but now she knew that she and her husband had made the right decision
Chapter 16
Present...
Sho's routine remained the same for the next 2 days. He left his office an hour earlier to fetched Ryo from his kindergarten, brought him to visit Rei and fetched his in-law home. Both his and Masaki's parents rotating their time to accompany Rei in hospital while Sho was at work. Sho's parents will come in the morning after he left to office and his in law will come in the afternoon after lunch and will stay till Sho came to fetch them. His sister or his brother will accompany Rei in hospital till she was asleep or till Sho came back to hospital after having dinner at home. Although both mothers volunteered to stay in hospital, he didn't want to trouble them and prefer them to sleep comfortably at home. He felt sorry for his son but he glad Ryo didn’t show any tantrum like the first night after his husband flew off to work. His father in law left a day before Masaki arrive to help his brother at the restaurant, while Masaki will send his mum home the day after he came back. Its tiring for him especially with his expected tight schedule these two weeks since the preparation for the hotel's summer promotion will be starting soon. But his family had always came first in his life.
Masaki will be back today, but he had to work late, unable him to fetch Masaki from the airport. He had informed Masaki when they talked on the phone last night and he felt bad for him. Sho waived his hand when he saw Nino entered the cafe near to Nino's office. They were supposed to meet for lunch but Sho had to postponed it to later time due to his meeting extended. He wanted to reschedule it to another day, but Nino insisted it was urgent and they must meet that day. "Yo!" Nino usually way of saying hello. "So, what was the urgent thing? Sorry, my schedule was tight today so I really need you to come straight to the point." "I can see that but have you even had your lunch?" Sho shook his head negatively. Nino went to the counter to order drinks and sandwiches for both. "I think it's better for you to eat before we start talking. I don't want Masaki to blame me after you fainted with all the stress". Sho ate his sandwich in a rush that he finished it in less than 5 minute. Nino just laughed at him. He passed a name card to Sho. Sho took it and look at the name, sounds familiar but no one came to his mind. "She is Yuri's best friend and he came to see me two days ago." At first Nino was reluctant to let Sho know and rather talk to Masaki directly but he had no other choice. Masaki was always away, and Keiko is going to leave soon. He also didn't want Sho to feel left out especially when he is the one who spent most of the times with the kids. "You mean her Gynaecologist friend? Why she came to see you instead of meeting Masaki directly?" Sho wondered why she suddenly appeared again in their life after these years. "Firstly, she doesn’t have any contact of Masaki and secondly, I think it's because of the promised that she made to Masaki before. When Masaki decided he would take care of the kids, Masaki made her promised not to come into their life as he didn't want to have anything to do with Yuri. May be at that time, he believed that was the best way for them to start over and I think he did made the right decision. He didn't hate her but he can't forgive Yuri for lying to him." Now Sho understood why Masaki avoided to talk about his late wife when he asked him before, when they were back together. "I believed she has a good reason to look for Masaki now." Sho forgotten about his rush to go back to office. He called to inform his secretary that he will be back to office later than he expected. "Yes, she is getting married and will leave Japan to follow her husband. Yuri left some saving and her apartment when she passed away. Masaki had given Keiko all the rights before but since she will be leaving, she wanted to return it to the kids because they are the right owners of the inheritance." Nino sipped his drink, his throat turned dry to continue his next sentence as he knew how it will affect Sho more than Masaki. "There was another reason," Nino took a deep breath before he continued, "the twin's father was looking for them." Sho's eyes widened he can't believe his ears. "What! Why? For What?" Sho lowered his voice when he realized he attracted attention of others in the cafe. "She was not sure of the reason too but he knew she passed away and had a twin when he came to meet her. She was unsure how that guy knew it though." Nino saw the changes in Sho's reaction. "Sho, I've informed her that Masaki is not alone and both of you are happy with the kids right now. It's best for you and Masaki to discuss this matter and decide if you want to meet her or not. She will be leaving in two months but if both of you dont want to meet her, let me know and I will contact her" Nino patted his friend's back to calm him. "I know what is in your mind and don't worry the kids belong to both you and Masaki and no one else can deny that fact." Sho left the cafe with heavy hearts, what if the father wanted to take them away from him and Masaki. Thanks to all the meetings, he managed to forget about his discussion with Nino that afternoon
Masaki went to Narita Airport parking lots to look for his car. Sho had left their car there this morning since he can't fetch him today. Masaki had always kept their spare car key with him whenever he travelled in case Sho was too busy to fetch him. He fetched Ryo from his kindergarten before going to hospital. His son ran to him as soon as he saw him in front of the gates. He passed Toma, his lover souvenirs for him. Jun had flown directly to US. Like Sho, Jun will also be tight with summer promotional plans for their hotels in US. They reach hospital when his mum was feeding his daughter her dinner.
"Mama!" He kissed and hugged his mum. He missed her as much as he missed his family. His work didn't allow them to spend so much time together. He lifted his daughter and let her sit on his lap, taking over to feed her from his mum. Ryo was seating on the bed also asking to be fed by his father. "I missed you papa" "No! You have daddy with you every day. I missed papa and daddy a lot." Ryo said almost crying. Masaki knew Sho didn't get to spend much time with Ryo since he had been overnight in hospital for the past few nights. "But Niisan you get to spend time with grandpa and grandma at home." Ryo thought for a while and gave her a smile. "You were right but I'm still bored because you not around too. You must get well soon so we can play together again. I'm bored to play alone." Both Masaki and his mother just smiled listening to their conversations. "My grandchildren grown up and know how to comfort each other" Masaki agreed on his mother's comment. "Papa! Where are daddy and J-ji?" Rei asked. "J-ji went back to LA and daddy has to work late today so he won't be able to accompany you tonight." Rei just nodded but Ryo started to complain again. "I won't get to see daddy again tonight? I miss daddy so much. He spent so little time with me." Ryo tried to use his finger to show how little it is. "Papa is here with you and papa will make sure daddy will spend more time with you this weekend." Ryo nodded and asked his father to make a pinky promised. " What time Sho will end work tonight?" His mother asked. "I'm not sure mama, he just said he will be late and his late usually meant after midnight." It just 3 days but Masaki missed his husband so much "He must be very tired, but he never complained and always smiled. You are lucky Masaki to have him by your side. I will kill you if you ever hurt him again." Masaki pouted. "Mama, sometimes I felt that you love your son in law more than your own son." His mother laughed. "You will know how I felt when your kids are married." "No! I don't want to get married grandma, I want to stay with papa and daddy forever" The two adults laughed at Rei's spontaneous reply. His mum insisted to stay overnight to accompany Rei at the hospital. "You must be tired after the 6 hours flight. Go home and rest, Sho needs you” Masaki understood what his mum meant. They left after an hour. Rei was excited to hear her grandma will be with her tonight. Nino dropped by their apartment after he finished his work.
“It’s surprising to see you here unnoticed Nino and Toshi-ni?” Masaki asked his unexpected guest. “He is at home after fetching Kaoru. I saw Sho just now and he said he will work late so I just dropped by to check if Ryo want to come over tonight. Satoshi can send both Ryo and Kaoru tomorrow since he will send Kaoru in the morning before his meeting with the gallery. So, both of you don’t have to wake up early or rush to send him in the morning.” He really loves his friends so much. They are so understanding, and it was a good idea to let Sho sleep a bit more after those uncomfortable nights sleeping on the chair or sofa in the hospital ward. “Okay I will ask him, by the way you had your dinner, mama cook some stew for us this afternoon. If you want I will reheat it for you” Masaki asked Nino while waiting for Ryo to finish his shower. “Its fine, I’ve promised Toshi that I will be here for just a while and will eat at home. He will be sulking if I don’t keep the promised. He became more sensitive since he is getting older.” Masaki just smiled at him. He knew how much they loved each other despite all the whining. Ryo jumped up to Nino's lap when he saw his Ni-ji. “Ryo-kun do you want to sleep over my house tonight. Tomorrow Shi-ji will send you to school with Kaoru. I have new game at home and I will let you play for a while before you sleep. Deal?” Ryo agreed as soon as he heard about the game. He ran up to his room to take his bag. “You really know how to bribe him Nino. If Sho know how you bribed him with games, he will be angry.” “Come on Masaki, I’m helping you here.” “Yes, I know.” Ryo came down and went to the fridge looking for the chocolates that Masaki bought for them from Singapore. “Papa can I bring some of this to share it with Kaoru?” Masaki nodded his head. “That’s so nice of you Ryo-kun, you always care about her.” Nino cupping his cheek, but the boy’s reply left both Nino and Masaki speechless. “of course, I care about her because I love her and when I grow up I will marry her.” “Eh!” Nino look at Masaki. “Maybe I should change my mind about bringing him home tonight.” Masaki laughed “I don’t mind being your in-law Nino” “Ya! right, But I do mind. I seriously need to talk to Toshi about this.” Masaki grinned at Nino's reply.
“Satoshi, your future son in law is here,” Nino shouted as soon as he entered the house carrying Ryo who was sleeping in his arms. “Eh!” Satoshi tried to understand Nino’s statement. “He declared in front of me and Masaki that he love our daughter and will marry her when he grows up” Satoshi laughed and carried sleeping Ryo to their bedroom. “Did you tell Masaki about it?” Satoshi asked as soon as he sat beside his love to join him ate his dinner. “No! I think Sho should be the one telling him about it. That’s why I brought Ryo here, so they will have some time to talk in the morning. You know how sensitive our Sho can be when it came to his kids” Satoshi nodded and take a look inside the bag full of souvenirs from Masaki, "But I doubt they will have time to talk since Sho will be late and you know how hot they are whenever Masaki is off" Satoshi said without looking at Nino “Maybe! Anyway, tonight Ohno-san will sleep with your future in son in law in our room and I will sleep with our lovely daughter in her room.” Satoshi pulled his wrist before he could leave. “Its fine with me as long I get what I want before that because I'm hot too.” Nino understood the meaning behind his husband wink. “Not tonight when your son in law is around.” Satoshi flinched when Nino pinched his arm. Nino kissed his pouted husband and left for a hot shower.
Sho reached home at the wee hours. Dark, he had told Masaki not to wait for him and he was also told that Nino fetched Ryo to stay over at his house. He knew Nino did that so they could have some time to talk about Keiko. Thankfully he is going to work from home later but Masaki will need to send his mother back to Chiba. She need to help with the restaurant. He went up to their room and saw the bed cover was thrown on the floor while half naked Masaki curled on his side with his face half buried in his pillows and his arm hugging Sho pillow. He laughed at the sight. "Do u miss me so much my sunshine?" He asked him in his heart. He went for a quick shower. He need a cold bath for his sweaty body. The weather started to get warmer since summer will be starting soon.
After shower and with just his boxer, he moved closer to their bed looking at the love of his life. The dim light from the night lamp made him looks more beautiful. He was tired but he need to feel him to sleep. He missed him so much. Nino called him pervert because of their active sex life but at least his "pervertness" only with his husband. He moved his pillow carefully and slip into his husband arms to feel his warmth. "You were back honey, what is the time now?" Masaki tighten his hug. He pulled his love closer to him and kissed his shoulder blade. "Hmm.. it's almost 5am. Sorry for coming back this late." Sho felt loved. His back resting at his love torso. Masaki shook his head, eyes still closed half asleep. Sho brought Masaki left hand to the front, to his half hard member slowly guiding it to stroke it up and down. He heard his husband uneven breath "Sho-chan, aren't you tired?" His eyes opened but still let Sho's hand guide his. Sho turned his body to look at his husband. "I'm tired but I need you to put me to sleep" his hand now stroking his husband member. Masaki moaned with his eyes stared directly into his lover eyes. His hands slipped in the other boxer mirroring the other action till both are hard. Masaki pulled him into a lustful kiss and slowly moved on top of him. "Nice way to wake your husband up honey and your order is my command my dear" he threw both of their boxers on the floor. He took out the lube from the side drawer and applied it to his three fingers. He leaned closer and pulled Sho into another deep kiss while his fingers preparing his love fast. Sho moaned and broke the kiss when he felt Masaki pushed in his member deep inside him in one fast move replacing his fingers. "Ma...kunnnn". "I miss you so much my dear" Masaki fastened his move. His hand pumping Sho's member in the same rhythm. Moaning each other's name like a mantra, Masaki felt his husband muscles were clenching around him, "come for me honey" Masaki whispered into Sho ears and sucked the most sensitive area around Sho's neck while thrusting harder deep inside him. Both came together moaning each other's name. "I miss you too my sunshine" Sho's peck his husband lips. Masaki went to washroom and came back with wet towel to clean them. Back in their boxers, Masaki pulled sleepy Sho closer to him and hugged him tightly. Sho snuggling to him to smell his scent, Sho had no strength to talk about Keiko and both went to dreamland.
The endless ringing next to his ears woke him up. He moved his left hand tried to reach for the phone on the side table with his eyes still closed without realizing whose phone was ringing. His right arm still hugging his love who was still slept soundly beside him. "Aiba speaking" "Masaki-kun, this is your mother in law, why are you answering Sho phone, were both of you still sleeping?" "Morning! Kaasan, yes we are still sleeping, Sho came back very late this morning. Why do you call so early?" Masaki mind was still felt muzzy. Sho started to stirred restlessly beside him. Holding the phone between his left ear and his left shoulder, he patted Sho's shoulder, soothed him back to sleep. He heard his mother in law laughed at the other end. "Stop pampering my son Masaki and it was not early. It is almost 11am now, shouldn't you come and pick your mum? She is waiting for you, I'm in the hospital with her right now." "Eh!" Masaki blink his eyes and look at the clock on the wall. His eyes bulging. "Gommen ne, Kaasan, I've overslept. I will be on my way now." Masaki moved his hand and placed Sho head on his pillow. He went for a quick shower and when he was about to write a note for Sho, he received a message from his mother in law on his phone that she will send Masaki mother home and they will reached around lunch time while his father in law will stay to accompany Rei at hospital. He called her to apologised and thanked her. "You have to stop pampering my son Masaki-kun else it will be trouble once he got used to it" his mother in law always nagged him for pampering Sho and he just laughed it off because it is his job to pamper his love. He rummaged their fridge to see if they have enough ingredients to cook for lunch. He moved as fast as possible. Although his head can't do multi task but his hand can especially when he was cooking. With enough ingredient and the leftover stew from yesterday, he managed to prepare a complete meal for lunch in less than 30minutes. He went to woke Sho up before the mothers reached else Sho's mum will nag again if she saw Sho still in bed.
Sho's mother pulled his ears as soon as he saw him. She nagged him for being too pampered and made his mother in law waited for them at the hospital. He ran to hide behind Masaki's mother once he manage to free himself. "I'm sorry, Mama." Sho hugged his mother in law. "It's okay Sakurai-san, he must be tired after sleeping on hospital sofa for few days and with his work." Aiba-san defended his son in law. "Even if he worked late he should be considerate to others. This boy was too pampered." "Kaasan, I'm too old to be called a boy" Sho protested. " and yet you acted like one Sho because Masaki keep pampering you." She looked at Masaki with Narrowed eyes. "It's okay kaasan, I'm the one who is pampering him because I love your son and I've promised you that I will make him happy so I'm just fufilling my promise to you and Tosan. Come let's eat. I've cooked lunch for us." He gave his mother in law his sweetest smile to cool her down. He gave them the souvenirs that he bought for everyone. This is not the first time he flew to Singapore but it was his way to show his gratitude to his family members who had been helping them since Rei was admitted to the hospital.
"So when are you flying again Masaki-kun?" His mother in law asked. "I've managed to change my schedule so I will be home for the next 14days but after that I will need to fly for long trips." "Really? Thats great but after that I'm not so happy to hear it." Sho replied referring the long flights after the Masaki's long break. "Stop whining son. Can't you just be thankful for what he did for you? That is why I've told you not to pampered him so much Masaki-kun, you see how spoilt he is now. You really made me ashamed in front of your mother in law" Mrs Sakurai shook his head. He never imagined his stubborn son will be this pampered. Sho didn't answer and just look down on his plate. Masaki pat his thigh to calm him. Of course he was happy to see Masaki at home especially but next two weeks he will be busy which meant he have to work late most of the time just like last night. By the time things cooled down for him, Masaki will start flying again for long trips which meant less time for them to spend together. He was glad Masaki will be at home for the kids but he was sad that he wont have much time to be pampered by him. "Nothing to be ashamed of Sakurai-san, I'm glad he love Masaki so much. I can't be more thankful for that" Sho smiled widely when he heard his mother in law defended him. "My mum always loves you more than me." Both mother's laughed at Masaki's remarks. After lunch, Sho drove his mum back to hospital. Masaki packed some food for his father in law. Masaki will send his mother and came back to spend the night at the hospital so Sho can spend time with Ryo at home. Mrs Sakurai looked at his son in law hugged and kiss his son's forehead before they left. Although she always nagged him for pampering her son, she was thankful to Masaki for loving her son whole heartedly. At first, it was hard for her to accept them but now she knew that she and her husband made the right decision.
Rei was excited to see her daddy."Do you miss me my princess?" Rei nodded his head. "I miss you so much daddy. Where is papa?" "He went to send your grandma home but he will be here to accompany you tonight." Rei asked him to read her a story book. His parents left when it's almost dinner. Satoshi came with Nino, Kaoru and Ryo. "Did Masaki tells you that we will be in laws?" Satoshi asked. Nino laughed seeing Sho confused faced and signaled him to look at Ryo who is feeding a chocolate to his two years old daughter. "Your son declared his love in front of me and Masaki when I came to fetch him last night. "Really! I afraid Masaki forgot to inform me about it. I'm happy to have her as my daughter in law although I may have some doubts how you will treat my son. You know how precious prince Ryo to me." He winked at Nino "Yes and I will make sure he became my daughter's slave" everyone laughing and didn't even realized Masaki entered the room. "What's with the happy mood?" Masaki asked. "They were discussing how they will treat their son and daughter in laws." Satoshi explained and it took a while for Masaki understand the conversation. Nino whispered to Sho, asking if he had talked to Masaki about Keiko. Sho shook his head saying he didn't get the chance too. "She called me just now to asked. Don't be too late, she is leaving soon." They spent some time before everyone left Masaki and Rei alone. Sho kissed his daughter and promised her that he will be coming tomorrow morning. Ryo was happy to finally get to spend time with his daddy. He asked Sho to carry him on his back till they reached the car.
"Do you feel sad because daddy not here today?" Masaki asked his daughter who was clinging to him on his lap. The drip was taken out from her two days ago as she was well enough to eat her medicine by mouth. She may be able to go home tomorrow if all the test came back with positive recovery. "No! It's fine because papa is here and I miss you so much and Niisan miss daddy too. So it's okay to let him spend time with daddy tonight." Masaki kissed his daughter forehead. He carried her back to her bed and look at her. Except for her nose, she has no other features that resembled her mother. Masaki wondered what would happen if he had made different decision back then. How his life with Sho will be? Maybe their life will be incomplete without the two of them. "Papa! I Love you and daddy so much" Rei looked at his father and kiss his cheek. "We love both of you so much too, my princess. Both of you completed our family and we can never imagined our life without our prince and princess." He forgot about it when Rei was hospitalized but seeing his daughter glistening eyes, he knew his daughter still had this worry in her mind. "although we are not your real children?" Masaki carried her back to his lap and hugged her closely. May be it will be good for them to talk now when Sho was not around. His lover will cry a bucket if he was there with them before they could even start to talk about it. He was so sensitive when it came to their children. "Princess, both of you are my children and no one can deny it" he wiped the tears that started to fell on her cheeks. "I know everything Papa, I've heard my two grandma talked about it when daddy's mum visit us in Chiba during winter when you were working and daddy in LA. I heard she said you take care of us although you are not our real father and mummy lied to you about it" her little hands wrapped his father's neck still sobbing on his chest. Her words left him speechless and his heart pained to see her cried. He pulled his daughter chin up to look at him, "Rei, you may not be my real child by blood by you are my child by heart. Both of you and Niisan belong to me and your daddy, both of you are our prince and princess and we can't live without any of you because both of you are our most precious gift in this world." Masaki patted her back. "That is why daddy gave something from his body to me?" Rei started to feel calm but still with soft sobs. "Yes not only daddy, even papa will it to you or Niisan if you need it because both of you are our kids Aiba Rei and Aiba Ryo and both of us love both of you so much." He ended his word with a kiss on her forehead. "Is this why you hate your mummy?" Masaki asked. Rei nodded "because she lied. She made daddy and you sad." "Rei-chan, you can't hate your mummy because she gave birth to you. She was not well but she still cared about both of you when you were in her stomach" his thumb wiped away the tears mark on her cheek. "Don't you hate her papa?" She asked. "I'm angry with her but I didn't hate her because she gave me and daddy our two precious prince and princess." Masaki felt relieved when Rei started to smile again. "Did your Niisan also know about this?" Rei shook her head negatively. "He was playing outside". "Always remember papa and daddy will always love both of you." Masaki kissed her forehead and carried her back to her bed to sleep.
At home, Sho was struggling to get his son to sleep. Ryo demanded him to play games, read him a book and watched cartoon with him. He finally fell asleep beside his daddy when it was almost 1am. It was the most tiring 3 hours for Sho but seeing how his son sleeping soundly beside him made him happy. The boy kept saying how much he missed his daddy and how happy he was to spend time with him tonight. He can't imagined his life without his children. He will never allowed anyone to take them from him even if he has to fight for it. He had no strength left to talk to his husband and just sent him a message to say good night and they will come tomorrow after breakfast.
