A whole new World

Kikisu was writhing in pain. "MAMA!" She yelled.

Ushio ran over and kneeled beside her. "W-what?"

She wrapped her arms around her. "Mommy, it hurts." She moaned. Kikisu looked Ushio in the eye, her eyes filled with tears. "It hurts mommy. Make it stop."

"B-but I'm not a mommy," she stammered. "What do I do?"

The pain went away as she held her. "If you are daddy's wife, you are my mommy, Ushio-chan." Kikisu said, nuzzling her head against Ushio's chest. "You can't have a family without a mommy, so you have to stay."

"But... I'm not even married to him," she said sadly. "I don't know just how much I mean to him. How much he wants me in his life."

"You mean enough to him that I hear daddy cry your name at night. Mama, we all love you. If you ever think he feels differently, it might be because he's trying to be accommodating. " She kissed her mommy's cheek. "And if he doesn't want you in his life, then I leave it too. Mommy will always be Ushio."

".... I've been lonely all this time and people keep trying to take away Kaji-kun," she said weakly. "I keep feeling like people want to leave me in the dark like I used to be."

"I'd never take daddy away! Uwa, he'd hate me if he lost you because of me." Kikisu said sadly. "Please, mommy, stop it. We all love you, and will tie you down if you try to leave forever. We want you here, and NO ONE here is trying to take daddy away from you. Mommy must be with daddy."

"Then why do girls keep coming after him," she sobbed. "Why do they want him for themselves when they know I gave him my heart."

"Are you talking about me and Imouto?" Kikisu stroked mama's hair. "A lover's touch can never be replaced my a daughter's love. He has room for all three of us."

"Everyone ...everyone keeps leaving me except for my family...am I not good enough?" she asked sadly.

"I love you. I did leave you as Naka, and I won't leave you as Toshi." Kikisu said, "Unless you want me to leave Kaji and you, Ushio-chan, alone."

The word 'leave' triggered it. She started bawling. "No, don't go! Don't leave me all alone again! I waited years, decades, centuries, eons for Kaji-kun...!"

"Fine. I just wish mama would be consistent." Kikisu said, rubbing her back.

Kaji walked in "breakfast is ready sweetheart, kikisu "
Kaji blinked as he noticed they toshi was sobbing " Hey what happened "

Mama's being stupid again and worked herself into a cryin' fit." Kikisu said, sighing. "Mama, breakfast's ready?"

"Mama...is an idiot, yes?" She slouched out of the room and threw herself onto the couch.

"No,b ut Mama can sure act like a real baka sometimes." Kikisu sat on mama's lap with a plate of food and held the fork up to Mama's mouth because she liked feeding people. "But we love you for it. Makes me feel like I don't have to be perfect."

"No one's perfect. I wish your papa could see that." She bit into the food like it owed her money.

"Daddy does. Do you know what he says about you when you're not around? He talks about how wonderful you are." Kikisu put more food on the fork and held it to mama's mouth. "He really loves you. Makes Imouto and me jealous." Kikisu looked at mama's stomache. "How long til I have my little sister?"

" Okay I get it " he said " I wish youd see that ... first time in three years I kiss one other girl" kaji sighed and walked into the kitchen

"Enough from the peanut gallery!" Kikisu yelled at Daddy. Her hand felt Mama's stomache. "Mm, I bet she'll be beautiful as her mama."

"It's a boy. Kou," she said to Kikisu, then to Kaji, "Then how many more in the next year?"

"Then as handsome as his mama is beautiful." Kikisu corrected herself. "Mama, eat." She commanded, waving the fork slightly.
