At about nine PM, Suki reached the daycare
"See madame, we're already here."
Keisuke said with a joyful chuckle, making her smile seeing his so happy too
She herself felt a bit more relieved knowing her babies are closer to her and she'll see them in no time, making her sigh in relief as they reached the daycare building
But that relief was short lived. When they parked the car, In front of the building, they saw an ambulance waiting there, the woman they met and gave her babies to this morning was getting out of the building in a stretcher
All while Keisuke and Suki sat in the car, frozen in worry
Suki's heart almost stopped. She felt her blood run cold. She couldn't breathe properly
Her heart, the new mother's heart screamed to see her babies. She felt her body start shaking
There were parents all around, hugging their kids with a worried look on their faces, adding more to their worry
"Don't worry madame. I'll go see what's the matter. I'll bring the kids, you stay here"
Keisuke said, getting out of the car
But as he tried to go inside, a man stopped him
"Excuse me. You can't go there. It's seized"
The man said, adjusting his glasses
"What do you mean? We have our kids there"
Keisuke argued, glaring at the man heatedly
"We can't do anything. Your life might be endangered if you go inside. I can't let you in, I'm sorry "
As the conversation kept going on, Suki watched it unfold all before her eyes. She saw how agitated Keisuke was getting, his shouts were getting louder and she felt her heart heavy
All the bad scenarios started to rush to her mind. She felt like she couldn't take it anymore
She quickly came out of her car, despite the insistence of her body guards. She quickly went to Keisuke
"W-What's going on here? Where are my babies?"
Ijichi's eyes widened, looking at Suki. It didn't take him more than one look to know who it was. Her body guard circled around, protecting her from getting approached
"M-miss, there is danger in the building. It's seized. We can't let anyone in"
Her heart dropped, she wanted to scream bloody Murder at the man. But now, she couldn't think about anything other than her kids
"I don't care. Let me in"
She said, physically trying to get inside and pushing Ijichi out the way
"Ma'am please try to understand. We can't let anyone in. It might cause danger to your life"
She froze for a moment before snapping
"What do you mean danger? My babies are there! Let me go! I wanna see my babies!"
Ijichi was taken aback. He didn't expect this so early
But he couldn't say anything. He was tongue tied watching those beautiful violet eyes shine with tears. He didn't know what to do
"Please.... Please let me see my babies... I don't have anyone other than them... I can't live without them... Please... Just please"
She begged, getting down to her knees. Her head was down as she began to wail. She couldn't do this anymore
"Please... Just -
"Ma- Mama!"
Her head shot up hearing the familiar baby voice. She looked forward, in the night dark both of her baby's eyes shone like a beautiful portrait of the sky
Two individuals were walking towards them, they had her babies
.
.
.
.
"Mama! Mama!"
Both of the twins kept wailing in maki and Yuta's arms as they made their ways towards their mother
"I know I know. We'll see your Mama in a minute. Wait for a bit"
Maki said to the baby in her arms
They could hear their mother's cries coming closer as they left the building. But they got really concerned when saw a group of people flocking around, jamming the whole street
"What happened here"
Yuta asked with wide eyes
There ware atleast dozens of men in all black, handling crowd
"We don't know and have no need to know. Let's go Yuta. We have two crises in our hands. Let's give these trouble makers back to their mom and leave before the reporters show up"
Maki said, grunting as Aqua wiggled in her hold to get freed for lord knows how many times
One the other hand, Ruby was just sniffling in Yuta's arms. Not to bother the man she took a liking for
Yuta soon felt a small hand lightly come in contact with his face, making him look down at the child in his arms. Again, he felt his breath hitch. Those beautiful royal hot pink eyes stared up at his with hope. Now looking even more shiny in the dark because of the tear
She pointed at the directions they were hearing the commotion
"Mama... Mama"
She mumbled, looking up at him with her big doe eyes that reminded him the most important star in the skies
At that moment, Yuta felt a connection he never felt before. He knew he'd do anything and everything to protect this child from anyone and anything in this cruel world
A commitment come from his heart that he didn't even realize, he'll kill and die for this little girl.
"Oi Yuta, are you coming?"
His daze broke hearing his teammate's voice
Maki had already gone a lot far, making him speed walk to reach them
But not before, looking down at the little girl and smiling
"Don't worry, little princess. I'll get you to your mommy safe and sound"
Saying this, he placed a caste kiss on her forehead
He then quickly joined Maki, making their way towards he commotion
As they went closer, they could see a man berating Ijichi and a woman on her knees, sobbing
"Ma-Mama"
Aqua screamed, his eyes desperate
The woman's head shot up, looking directly at the two teens
For the third time that day, Yuta felt his breath hitch
This woman was completely gorgeous. Pale face, long violet hair and her eyes, oh those eyes, looking at those eyes made him feel like he was looking at a whole galaxy
Like you see in TV. Galaxy, milky way, 🌌 space, everything all at once. Those were the most beautiful pair of eyes he had ever met in his life. He felt his heart Hammering out his chest like it never did before
He didn't know why but it felt like the moment their eyes met with each others he was stripped off all the independence he'd had and felt a sense of loyalty and honesty for this woman. As if his wold resolved around her, his happiness connected with hers
As if she was his destiny
He didn't know why, he didn't know how and he couldn't describe what made him feel like that but it did
And the moment a beautiful smile, a smile of joy and relief washed over her, he couldn't help but feel he wouldn't mind spending the rest of eternity with her
It was clear with those eyes that she was none other than the mother of the children they were carrying. They also figured out this is probably the reason why they were so
On the other hand, Suki got up and rushed towards the duo
"My babies!"
Suki yelled and hastily took Aqua from Maki's arms
She giggled loudly, though her eyes remained tearful. Squeezing her little boy closer to her chest, kissing him all over his face
"My baby Aqua, Mama's so sorry. I promise, I won't ever leave you alone. Mama's so sorry babies. I'm so sorry..."
She whispered, bringing the child even closer to her chest
Aqua had long stopped fussing as soon as he came to his mother, his eyes felt heavy, feeling tired
"Ma-Mama!"
Suki looked up from her son to see her babygirl giving her the most irresistible puppy dog eyes
"My baby girl, Mama's sorry to you too. I promise to never do something like this ever. Mama's sorry, baby"
She said smiling at her baby
After all of this, she finally noticed the two teens. She gave them a guilty smile
"Sorry for not noticing you till now... Thank you for protecting my babies though"
She told Maki, giving her a genuine grateful smile
"It's fine I can understand your reasons"
She replied with a smile of her own
She then looked at Ijichi with a guilty smile
"To you too, Mister. I'm sorry for my outburst. I didn't know what to do. My children are all that I've left in this world, my only family. So hearing they were in danger, I lost my mind. No offensive"
Ijichi just smiled and nodded
"None taken. I understand why you behaved like that and you'll be surprised to know I've seen a thousand time worse reactions. You're all well, no hard feelings"
She smiled, looking back at her daughter to see her pouting, probably hating no one was giving her any attention
She looked back at Yuta and felt a tug on her heart, her cheeks unconsciously heated up and she felt shy like she never felt before
But she pushed those feelings aside and smiled at the young man, coming closer to him
"I hope you won't mind me taking my baby girl"
She said with a charming smile
Yuta gulped, looking down at her,
he felt weak on his knees. She was just too beautiful
"Y-Yeah, it's okay. You can take her"
He leaned down to give her Ruby. But accidentally her hand was on his bare arm and that's when he felt it
The unbearable burn, making him hiss in pain. He never felt anything like this before. He almost dropped Ruby if it wasn't Maki's quick reflexes. She just grabbed Ruby in time
Suki's eyes also widened and she quickly retrived her hand.
When she did, there it was. The purple burn mark of her of her hand prints
Everyone stared it in shock, the visible mark on his arm, a print and prove of who he belonged to
The mark of his soulmate
