51. Can I be Happy Too?

The present Tomoe sighed out weakly as he laid there, his eyes clsed slightly as he tried to think and fall back asleep for like the fifteenth time that day. Why? Maybe because he was on and off all night,

Why was he on and off all night?
Maybe, Just maybe it was because there was a child in one of these rooms that was supposed to be his son...

His son, his little boy.. His... Whatever! The present Tomoe groaned menatlly to himself, pulling a pillow over hs face. Dispite the sunlight from outside he didnt want to get up, Why? Because of that little problem...

He had a son in the future... and he wasnt' sure he ws to happy about this situation... he whind and laid on his stomach, his hair messy from tossing and turning like mad. Why? Why him of all people. Him? A father?

And then there was that wedding ring, that wedding rng that drove him crazy. It even had something engraved onto it. Something like a specal saying of some sort, btu what he had no idea. What could be so important to him as to engrave it on his wedding ring. But what shocked him even more was that he was wearing a wedding ring to begin with.

Married and with kids, Oh how muchhe had fallen. He went from being a fugitve to a familiar.. to a father ad a husband! What was this!? The present Tomoe sighed out weakly and tried to think, his head now hurtng like mad.

What made it worse was that... when that little boy started crying and all.. it.. His little face, crinkled up like that.. It reminded him of Nanami. And that in itself left him blanching and blushing like mad.

There was no way he would marry her, or even remotely get her pregnant... It wasn't happening, if it did what would that make him? She was a human for gods sake! And that to him left him screaming mentally. She was a human which meant she could die any minute or second.. and that was somthing he could not take. How could he? If he allowed himself to love her, She'd die one day and leave him all alone with the babies and kids.

That scared the crap out of him and he didn't know if he'd be able to take that at all. He swallowed weakly, his head now spinning like mad before he paused and looked up. He bit his lip and swallowed, his head still hurting before he decided it was about time to get up...

Tomoe threw his covers off and got dressed, hsi head still spinning from the horrid facts around him. He fxed his Hakamashita and straightened the folds perfectly. Her fixed his hair and yawned slightly before walking out of the room and noticing no one was up expect his futue self..

This made him blink in shock, but really got him was his future self was talking to someone on a note. e was whispered to one of those notes again and then before his eyes, just like yesterday... he caught it on fire and sent it out to the world.

So that was how he was talking to his wife, sadly to him the future him lookd slightly out of it. He rubbed hsi eyes and groaned slightly, although his lips were pulled into a smile which left him confused.

" You can come out of the shadows now... " He muttered leaving the Present Tomoe to pale and blink slightly.' HOW DID HE KNOW HIM LIKE THAT!? He meant he knew that he was him, but still he was confused right now.'

" And If your wondering how I know your there? I've been there, done that.' he snickered, He still kept his eyes closed, his hand over his eyes as well, but his lips was pulld into a deep smile. This left The present Tomoe twitching as he walked in and shivered,

" Thats freaky...'

" Well yeah but I am you." he smirked as he looked at him, " And I try to be the best to my abilites in everythng, right?" he smirked at his younger self making the present Tomoe blanch.

" I-m not asking to know anythng..' he whispered as the future Tomoe just shrugged slightly,

: Oh I know..' he snickered slightly, " Believe me.. I've been there done that." he smirked slightly at him and laughed a bit.' He ten finally sat up, his head straight as he stared at him slightly... this left the younger Tomoe blinking slightly.

" W-Why are you..' he paused slightly, " I mean what troubles you?" he arched his brow and sat down as the future Tomoe poured him some tea, This left the furture Tomoe to blink but smile all the same.

" Ah..' he whispered and then sat down the olderen tea pot. He then breathed out and swallowed as he looked at the present Tomoe, a weak smile pulled on his lips as he shrugged,

" My wife knows Im stuck here.." he sighed out slightly, " And she decides this is the best time to drop the news thats she is pregnant again.' he sghed out leaving the present Tomoe to nearly choke on his tea. He looked at his future self in shock, his eyes wide.

" What!?" he gasped leaving the man to shrug.

" What can I say? Our relationship is rock solid." he sighed out leavng the younger to gulp. Not just one child now... now it was gonna be two! TWO! He paled and bit his lip a bit leaving the older to laugh slightly,

" You don't need to be pale.. I should be the pale one. Im stuk here and I can't get back to my pregnant wife.. do you know how sad that is?" He glared slightly making him pale weakly, " And Now My son is probably running aorund like normal..' he muttered and then sighed out as he pointed at the door, " See?" he muttered leaving the younger to blink.. his eyes wide before the little boy ran in and clung to the future Tomoe like a magnet.

" Dadwdy.." he whispered and nuzzled him leaving Tomoe to sigh out weakly,

" Why are you up already?" He arched hs brow slightly.

" Is.. nowt twired!" he giggled happily leaving him to sigh slightly and then hug the child. He nuzzled him and let the little boy sit in his lap slightly.

"'Im in dawdys lawp.." he giggled before blinking when he saw The present Tomoe. He paused and the younger Tomeo sucked in his breath, his heart nearly pounding from the lttle boys eyes...

" Liwwtle daddy!" he gasped leaving the future Tomeo to suddenly crap up laughing. The present Tomoe winced and felt his ears pin, gee thanks kid... He sighed out a bit while the older just shook his head and kissed the boys crown.

" Good observant skills Hiru..' he smiled gently leaving Hiru to giggle and nuzzle him slightly.' This on the other hand left the younge rgrindng his teeth... Shoot... This chld.. he was.. sweet. He didn't know what to say to this...

Hiru smiled and nuzzled Tomoe before pausng when he saw the tea cup, he cooed and whined as he reached for it making the older Tomoe sigh out and then sighly blow on it.. The child watched with huge eyes before the father added sugar and then let the child hold the cup firmly n his hands...

Hiru lit up and then slowly tried to drink the tea, he smiled and sipped it happily making the younger Tomoe tilt his head.

" He has to do everything I do...' Tomoe snickered, " hes in that copy age.." He snickered but smiled softly, " He'll grow out of it Im sure.. then he'll start saying Im gross and eveyrthing else.'he laughed but nuzzled the little boy...

This left the younger Tomoe nodding slightly... why.. He didn't get it. Why did he seem so close to this child? Could he be this happy? This happy and smiling brightly with a baby like this? And now with another on the way? A married man with kids...

Could he...

Could he be like this?

He wasn't so sure anymore..

Tomoe sighed out and stretched a bit as his older self looked out the window and sighed out a bit. His hair was a bit more shaggy and down his neck while he had his purple haori over his shoulders to keep him and his son warm.

The present Tomoe used the fire and sighed out gently as he did so, he rubbed his hands together and shivered a bit.. Still cold from the night. He looked up at the cold room and bit his lip slightl.

" It doens't surprise me that this place looked like this before I became a familiar..' he whispered as his older self nodded slightly.

" Indeed... Seems smaller.." he muttered, " but then again I had to build on an extra room." he sighed out a bit leaving the younger to cringe, " But now I think its bg enough for baby number two." He whispered and then bit his lip.

The younger Tomoe nodded and then sighed out before they heard something scatter into the room.

" GET TO WORK TOMOE!"

" LEAVE ME BE WOMAN!" The past Tomoe whined as Nanami once again smacked him upside the head... Both Tomoes in the living paused and titled their heads.

" How do we not remember this?"

" I have no clue... and neither do I want to know." The older shook his head and winced when his younger self got the crap smacked into him from the broom. Nanami then cocked her hip cutely and huffed.

" Get to work!" She whined and scattered him along. This caught the older Tomoe's attention slightly as she walked over and smiled a bit,

" Goodmorning gentlmen."She smiled brightly, "Sleep well?" She smiled but the older Tomoe paused and looked her over.

" Flatter.." he muttered making her freeze and then blush rapidly,

" W-WHA!?" She gasped as he smirked and drank the rest of his tea.

" You heard me... " he then smirked slightly, " Mature more... " He winked making her freeze up and cover her now beet red face from the shock. The present Tomoe glared at him slightly while the older just smirked to himself and drank his tea without a care in the world..

He loved how he made her blush...
