Chapter 23: Moments to Come shall come.

As the curtains were pulled away, the bright shines of the sun came through the glasses of the window, revealing a bright day as birds were flying through the sky, chirping happily. Haruka was only covered by the thin sheets of the bed smiling as she was staring through the windows through her fingers from the glaring sun. Kunimitsu was still laid on the bed, until he too started to open his eyes slowly. Awaken by the bright light over his eyes. He laid his gaze upon Haruka who was gently smiling at him from the windows.

"An angel…" Muttered Tezuka under his breath as he curved a smile on his face.

"Jeez…Mitsu…" Haruka started to blush furiously as she heard the mumbling made by Kunimitsu.

Slowly, Kunimitsu got out of the bed and walk towards Haruka with bare chest and slowly wrapped his hands around her waist, hugging her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. Breathe in into her scent before curving a smile.

"Good morning, Haruka…" He whispers into her ear sweetly making her to flinch and blush.

"Go-good…morning…Mitsu…" She said as she started to feel comfortable under his embrace and it all ends when the door was suddenly knocked.

"Rise and shine! Better hurry up before you guys missed the flight!" Shouted Ryoga from the outside.

"Okay, Ryoga-nii!" Replied Haruka.

She sighed and Kunimitsu started to loosen his embrace when they suddenly heard a loud yell. Haruka giggled as she realise just whose that voice is, Ryoma. Kunimitsu just curved a broad smile and patted Haruka's head before he went into the bathroom.

"Ryoga, you idiot!" Ryoma was yelling.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Ryoga was laughing loudly as went down the stairs.

"Bald head!" Ryoma yelled again.

"Hai, hai Chibi!"

Haruka heard the slam of the door and sigh again.

"Why can't they just be nice to each other?" She mumbles under her breath as she was taking out her dress to wear.

Rinko just sighed as she was waving towards her sons and daughter along with her son-in-law as they passed by the security towards their respective flight. A sad smile curved on her face. Nanjiroh saw this and patted her shoulder gently, easing her. A small smile curved on his face as Rinko turned to face him.

"They will be okay…" Nanjiroh said.

"It's…lonely…without them…." Rinko stated as a strand of tears was glistening on her cheek.

"We won't be that lonely again soon." Ensured Nanjiroh as he wiped the tears off from her face (Yeah he can be nice when he needed to).

"Hmm…you're right." Rinko said and curved a broad smile on her face.

5 years later…

Haruka was humming happily inside the kitchen, preparing teas and snacks. Her hands sometimes would gently pat her exposing bumps. Yes, she is pregnant, with her second child, a pair of twins to boot. Hearing the news, everyone was very excited especially her parents and Kunimitsu's parents as well.

Far in the kitchen she could hear the giggle and laughter of her 4 years old son, Kimihiro with her husband. She slowly picked up the tray and went to the terrace. She could see both son and father were playing tennis against each other. How it makes her remember of the times when she was still small, watching both of her brothers playing against their father. A small smile curved on her face.

"I've brought some snacks and tea." She said, as she lifted the tray for them to see.

"Yay!" Kimihiro shouted excitedly and run towards his mother.

Kunimitsu walks towards his wife and helped her to lift the tray which earned him a pout on his wife's face. Kimihiro tilted his head towards his father, wondering what had happen between them but was replied with a broad smile from his father.

"Hiro, go wash your hands first." Said Kunimitsu.

"Okay, papa!"

"I can lift them just fine, Mitsu…" Haruka finally said.

"But still, there's no harm with me wanting to help my wife, right?"

"Mou…"

Suddenly the doorbell rang in which made the Kimihiro to run towards the door instead of going back to the living room after yelling that he'll get it instead of letting his parents to do it instead. Kunimitsu hurriedly put the tray on the coffee table and escorted Haruka to the sofa.

"Mitsu…I'm just pregnant…not an invalid person…" Haruka pouted.

"Just a precaution…you're on your seventh month already…" Kunimitsu tries to reason with her.

"Hai, hai…"

Suddenly they heard the door being closed and a loud squeal came from Kimihiro. Both of them were curious of their guest when they heard Kimihiro calling the person's name excitedly. A broad smile curved on Haruka's face and a small smile formed on Kunimitsu's face, showing how delight they felt to know the person that came to pay them such a rare visit.

"Uncle Ryoma!" Kimihiro shouted excitedly.

"Wow! Watch out Hiro!" Ryoma sounded panic.

"You came! You came!" Kimihiro said excitedly with sparkles on his eyes.

"Of course! I did promise you didn't I? Look at how big you've got, Hiro. Did you practice well?" Ryoma asked as he lift Kimihiro and gave him a big hug and just brought him into the living room.

"I did! I did! I just play with papa!" Kimihiro said with a broad smile.

"Did you win?"

"Hmm…" KImihiro just remain silent and pout while playing with his fingers. "No…I didn't…" He said.

"Come on…don't worry. What if I become your coach, then you'll win in no time!" Ryoma tried to lift his little nephew.

"Really?" Kimihiro asked with such anticipation in his eyes. "You'll coach me, Uncle Ryoma?" He asked.

"Yeah, really, really." Replied Ryoma, amused by his nephew cuteness.

"Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear." Ryoma answered and wrap both their little fingers together.

By the time they ended their conversation, both of them were already in the living room. Ryoma slowly put Kimihiro down on the floor before ruffling his hair and look towards his little sister who's waiting on the sofa beside her husband with a broad smile. Ryoma gave her a light hug before patting her head and curved up a broad smile.

"Are you planning to stay in States for a while, Ryoma?" Haruka asked as Ryoma greeted Kunimitsu with a nod and sat across both of them.

"I was planning to." Ryoma replied and smile.

"When did you arrive?" Asked Kunimitsu.

"Yesterday…and I'm staying at a hotel for now." Ryoma replied.

"You should have called us!" Haruka stated.

"Well…I don't really planning to stay at first…"

"Hmm? Why so?" Kunimitsu asked, curious about it.

"Did something happen?" Haruka asked, obviously worried about Ryoma.

"We-well….just…for…something…" Ryoma was hesitant about it.

Before Haruka could even pried more, suddenly Kimihiro tugged Ryoma's sleeve slowly.

"Uncle Ryoma…your phone is buzzing…" He said.

"Ahhh…that…thanks Hiro." Ryoma said as he took them out before burrowing his eyebrows and sighed.

"You won't be answering the call?" Asked Haruka.

"No…not now." Ryoma said before once again tugged his phone onto his pocket.

"Hmm…I smell something fishy there…" Haruka said in which made Kunimitsu to sigh before gently patted Haruka's hand.

"Sometimes…secret are better off remain as it is…" Kunimitsu said and smile.

"…" Haruka just look at Kunimitsu's face before switching them to Ryoma who has an apologetic kind of expression on his face. "Okay, okay…I won't dig it out…for now." She stated which made both of them to sweatdrop.

Ryoma stays over for dinner, he even helped Haruka and Kunimitsu to put Kimihiro to bed. He tugged him in and read him a storybook. Kimihiro was very delighted that his favourite Uncle had spent the day with him which is very rare.

"Uncle Ryoma…"

"Hmm?" Ryoma asked as he patted Kimihiro head lightly.

"Did you get into a fight with Uncle Keigo?" Kimihiro's question made Ryoma to remain silent and just keep on playing with his hair.

"Hmm…not a fight, Hiro…I just want to have my own time alone…that's all." Ryoma finally answered.

"Mm…kay…Night, Uncle Ryoma."

"Good night, Hiro…" Ryoma gave him a kiss on the forehead before fixing his blanket and leave the room slowly.

Ryoma went downstairs and was greeted by Haruka with a smile. Ryoma curved a smile on his face before taking his seat on the sofa beside Haruka. He sighed as he lay on the sofa comfortably. Haruka notices it and pushed a cup of hot cocoa to Ryoma gently.

"I thought that you might want some…" Haruka said.

"Thanks, Haru. Where's Kunimitsu?" Ryoma asked.

"We-well…suddenly I got the urged to eat something sour…."

"Cravings…should have known." Ryoma curved a smile on his face.

"So…did something happen between you and Atobe?" Haruka went straight to the point.

"We-well…even Hiro asked me about that…" Ryoma stated and sighed as he lifted the cup of cocoa and take a few sip.

"Ryoma…"

"I just…need some time alone…that's all…" Ryoma answered.

"Really?"

"Yes, Really, really."

And the night goes on with the sound of both twins chatter and laugh filled the chill and quiet night. Till Kunimitsu came back with the goods that were asked by Haruka that is.

It had been a week since Ryoma stayed over Haruka and Kunimitsu's house. Kimihiro was happy of course and so did Haruka and Kunimitsu. Since Kunimitsu now has a rival to play against and as for Haruka someone to watch over Kimihiro, like a the phone rang, Haruka picked up the phone only to be greeted by the cheerful and excited voice of his eldest brother, Ryoga. Something good must have happen to him.

"Hello, Haru-chan!" Ryoga greeted cheerfully.

"Ryoga-nii…please slow down your voice…" Haruka grumbled.

"Ah, sorry, sorry."

"So? Is there something you need to tell me?" Haruka asked.

"We-well….actually there is. You see…A-Ai was finally being released from the hospital for almost half a year now…and…I finally…proposed to her." Ryoga said nervously.

"KYAHH! And?" Haruka was excited to hear the news. "What is her reply?" Haruka excitedly asked.

Hearing her squeal had made Kunimitsu and Ryoma along with Kimihiro to run over to reach her. They felt relief when they see there's nothing wrong had happen but curiosity kicked in. They keep on listening to her conversation.

"She…" Ryoga trailed on.

"She?" Haruka was really curious about Ai's answer.

"She…said yes! She said YES!" Finally Ryoga burst the news filled with happiness.

"Congratulations, Ryoga-ni!" She squealed happily.

"Thanks, Haru-chan."

"I can't wait to tell Mitsu and Ryoma about it."

"Ryoma? Is he there?" Ryoga suddenly asked, quite puzzled by her words.

"Yeah, he's here for almost a week now." Haruka states the obvious.

"Ehh…so that's why that monkey was so frantic about it."

"Huh? Atobe? He's searching for Ryoma?" Haruka repeats in which was overheard by Kunimitsu and Ryoma and it made Ryoma to flinch.

"Yeah…something about decision and Los Angeles." Ryoga trailed on.

"Haaa…I guess I know what that means…" Haruka said with a smile.

"Maa…not that I care about that Monkey. So, is Ryoma okay? How's my favourite nephew? And are you okay?" Ryoga's brother mode is on.

"I'm fine, Ryoma's fine, he's coaching Hiro and yes, he is fine too." Haruka answered with a light giggle.

"Ehh…Ahh, I heard that Kunimitsu had won over a tournament, send him my congratulation."

"Yeah, sure. I will."

"Well, I need to go now… see you later, Haru-chan!"

"Okay, see you later, Ryoga-nii." Haruka said and finally hung up the call.

The news of Ryoga's upcoming wedding had spread out widely to all their friends and the wedding was coming even closer than they anticipated. Ryoma's issue with Atobe was finally over and things just get better and better. Haruka was finally in his last month of pregnancy and had to stay over in the hospital, before she suddenly relapsed with the labour pain.

Kimihiro was taken care by Ryoma and Atobe who seems to be staying at one of Atobe's villa in California for a while, since Kunimitsu was taking care of Haruka in the hospital before both their parents arrivals. Haruka was laying on the bed with Kunimitsu beside her bed, reading a book silently while she looks up to the window watching the serene scene.

"Everything…is well…" She said.

"Haru?"

"It seems that…everyone had found their happiness." She said with a smile.

"Yes…it sure does. So is you." Kunimitsu answered with a broad smile on his face before he leaned closer to Haruka and gave her a light kiss on the lips.

"Yeah…me too…I meant, us as well."
