Jewel: I don't own Shugo Chara or their characters. Enjoy!
~Happily Ever After... I Think~
Two years later, a one-year-old with her midnight blue hair tied into two small pigtails waddled around the house, excitement evident in her golden eyes. (A/N: Like Yaya's hair in the anime) She wore light pink footie pajamas and held a sippie cup as she continued to explore their two story mansion. She was about to crawl her way down the stairs until a pair of strong hands grabbed her by the waist and hoisted her up, causing her to giggle.
"Where do you think you're going?" The owner of the hands teased as he tossed his daughter into the air and catching her. He wore a black and midnight blue v-neck and white skinny jeans. His azure hair fell past his sapphire eyes. The child laughed and waved her arms into the air.
"Ikuto! Be careful!" A woman with pink hair and gold eyes like her daughters in a yellow sundress shouted at her husband from the bottom of the twin staircases. The man named Ikuto did as he was told and stopped, both pouting at the angry lady. She rolled her eyes and stomped up the stairs. He suddenly feared his wife but the child in his hands giggled and reached for her mother. He expression softened slightly as she took the baby from her husband.
"But Amu~! I do this all the time! Why are you getting mad?!" He whined. The two girls in front of him just stared at him. Amu raised an eyebrow.
"...You're kidding, right?" She asked. Ikuto just stared at her. She sighed and massaged her temples with her left hand as she carried her child in her right. "You think throwing our child up into the air on the second floor, near the stairs, is a good idea?" She asked dead serious. Ikuto thought about it and realized everything that was wrong.
"...No..." He answered. Amu sighed and shook her head before smiling at her daughter.
"Let's goto your room Umai!" She cheered and tickled her daughter. Umai laughed and clapped her hands. Amu hugged her daughter before walking down the stairs, sticking her tongue out at her husband in the process. Ikuto chuckled and shook his head.
'She doesn't even realize that she lost track of Umai and I saved her from falling down the stairs...' He thought and inwardly sighed. He walked down the stairs and headed towards Umai's room. He stood in the doorway as he watched Amu play with their daughter.
"Do you wanna play with Chococat or Hello Kitty?" She asked and held up the two stuffed animals. (A/N: I don't own! Just love them) Umai reached for Chococat and Amu laughed. "You really love cats, don't you?" She asked. She gave Umai the stuffed cat and got up to put away the Hello Kitty toy with the rest of Umai's stuffed animals. For some reason, Umai loved giant stuffed animals.
"Well she is my daughter." Ikuto said. Amu lightly glared at him before laughing. He walked over and sat next to her and brushed a strand of hair from his daughter's adorable face. She grabbed his hand and giggled. He smiled and picked her up. "Oh, Utau's coming over with Kukai. They wanted to see Umai." He said and Amu's eyes widened.
"Really?! I haven't seem them ever since I was in the hospital!" She shouted and Ikuto flinched. "So when are they coming?" She asked calmer. He opened his mouth to answer but the doorbell rang. She jumped and sprinted to the door. Her husband and child watched her and he sweat-dropped.
"...I hope you never turn into that... I can only handle one crazy person." He half-teased and sighed. They followed her to the door and were greeted by a woman with violet eyes and blond hair in pigtails that reached an inch below her shoulders in a white tank top and red shorts with yellow flip flops and a man with messy chocolate hair and emerald eyes in a light blue short sleeves and faded green shorts with black Converses. The two girls chatted away while the man stood to the side laughing. He walked over to Ikuto.
"Yo! Ikuto!" He greeted and gave a thumbs up. Ikuto chuckled.
"Yo." Was all he said before the woman rushed over to look at her niece. He saw her eyes sparkle as she admired how cute Umai was. Amu smiled at her sister-in-law and smiled. She walked over and laughed at the woman's behaviour.
"Umai~! You're so cute~!" She squeeled. They all sweat-dropped and laughed. Ikuto carefully handed Umai to her aunt. She held her and smiled. She glared at Kukai and he froze. "Kukai! Greet your niece!" She ordered. He laughed nervously and nodded.
"At least I greeted your brother Utau... I was about to say hi to Umai..." He mumbled and walked over. Being the only one who heard this, Ikuto chuckled. Kukai flashed a quick grin and picked up Umai. "Hey Umai. You're looking cute as ever." He said and poked her stomach. She laughed and reached for his face. He laughed and leaned a little closer.
"Oh! Kukai! You shouldn't-" She was interrupted by Umai's and Kukai's laughter. Umai was pulling at his cheeks giggling as Kukai let her and laughed nervously. They sweat-dropped as Amu pulled Umai away. "I forgot to say that she has a habbit of pinching people's cheeks if they get too close." She explained as she tried to contain Umai's hands as they reached up to grab her mother's cheeks.
"Ha. It's alright. She's only one." Kukai said and ruffled his hair.
"It just makes her ten times cuter~!" Utau squeeled. Ikuto rolled his eyes.
"So when am I getting a niece?" Amu teased and smirked and Utau. Utau blushed while her husband laughed like there was no tomorrow. Ikuto smirked at his wife and chuckled.
"You're starting to turn into Ikuto!" Utau shouted and stomped her right foot. Kukai came down from his fit of laughter and wrapped his left arm around her shoulders. Ikuto's smirk grew as he wrapped an arm around Amu's waist from behind. Amu and Ikuto smirked at couple in front of them, causing them to shiver.
"Good." They said in unison and started to laugh at the shocked couple.
"...Even the smirk... I pray that Umai doesn't get that smirk." Kukai said weakly. Utau nodded and started to fear her brother and sister-in-law. They continued to chat until there was a knock at the door. They all looked at the door confused.
"...I thought we were the only ones coming over... Who else did you invite?" Utau asked her brother, completely perplexed. Ikuto shrugged and shared the same look.
"I thought so too. I didn't invite anyone. Not even you guys. You practically declared that you were coming over without my consent." Ikuto said. They all looked at Amu who just stared blankly at them. Then, she looked as if she had forgotten something.
"Oh... I forgot to mention that Yaya, Kairi, Rima, and Nagi were coming over..." She said and laughed nervously. "Oops." Ikuto sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Of course you did..." He said and held Umai so that Amu could answer the door. Her friends, she invited them, so she answers the door. She opened it to reveal all their friends.
"Amu~!" A girl with thin light orange hair in pigtails that reached the middle of her back and wide brown eyes shouted as she tackled Amu. She wore a light pink sleeveless shirt with ruffles at the top and around the waist and light blue capris completed with a pair of baby blue sandals. She held the hand of a man with neat dark green hair and sharp blue eyes. He wore a white button-up with a collar and short sleeves with black pants and green Converses.
"Hey Yaya! Hi Kairi!" Amu replied with a huge grin. She pouted at the other couple. "Where's my hello Rima?" She asked petite woman with wavy dirty blond hair that reached her shoulders and golden eyes that always seemed bored or uninterested. She shrugged as she straightened out her brown overall dress that went to her mid thigh on top of a white sleeveless collared shirt with a red tie. She also wore woven sandals that wrapped around her calf.
"I don't know. Where?" She teased and slowly started to smirk as she hugged Amu. She returned the hug and laughed.
"Hey Nagi. Come in!" She turned to a man with short purple hair that was slightly messy and kind gold eyes. He wore a teal long sleeve with a white short sleeve on top and black jeans with a brown belt. He finished trying his grey Nike hightops and stood up before entering. He smiled and thanked her. They all headed towards the living room and sat down. (A/N: Mwa ha ha! I decided to change their hair since I didn't really like how it was in the anime)
"Where little Umai?" Yaya asked from her seat next to Kairi. Amu laughed and was about to answer until her husband cut her off.
"She's right here." He answered and walked into the room. Umai looked at the people around her amazed. She held onto her father's shirt with her left hand as she leaned forward and reached for her mother with the other. Amu smiled and got up. She picked up her daughter and sat back down with Ikuto next to her. Rima sat to her right and smiled at the small child. She ran the back of her fingers along Umai's cheek.
"Umai's really cute..." Nagi stated as he watched his fiance play with Umai, laughing. Rima nodded. "Can she walk?" He asked, turning to Ikuto. Ikuto chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah. But when she walks, it's a disaster." He said. Umai laughed and played with Rima's fingers. Yaya jumped out of her seat and looked like she was about to cry.
"Yaya wants to hold Umai too!" She whined. Amu laughed and nodded. She set Umai on the ground and she walked towards Yaya. She tugged at Yaya's capris, causing Yaya and Kairi to laugh. Yaya picked Umai up and tossed her into the air, causing Umai to laugh.
"So Rima, how's the modeling business right now? Discover anyone new?" Amu asked slightly excited. Rima smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. Three actually. How are your designs selling?" She asked sounding quite interested despite her usual tone. Nagi's eyes widened at the mention of Amu's work.
"I forgot that you design clothes!" He shouted in surprise. Amu laughed and nodded.
"Yeah. And it's going great!" She replied. "I'm working on selling a design right now but I can't seem to find someone who wants it." She pouted. Ikuto chuckled at his waife and wrapped his right arm around her waist.
"I'd love to see your design." A voice called from the entrance to the living room. They all turned to a girl with black hair that reached the back of her knees whose dark brown eyes looked at them all mischieviously. She wore a black shirt with one short sleeve while the other was a spaghetti strap and a teal floral pattern across the bottom with white short shorts. Her light teal and black socks reached her knees and her grey Nikes left at the door.
"Kanari! How'd you get in? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?" Amu questioned as she got up to hug Kanari. Kanari lost a lot of blood on the day they confronted Tadase and frequently made trips to the hospital for the doctors to check up on her condition, which had only gotten slightly better over the two years.
"Oh... Well, I knew you forgot to lock the door, as usual, and decided to let myself in!" She explained and laughed. Amu sweat-dropped and laughed nervously as she felt Ikuto staring at her. She motioned for Kanari to sit on one of the smaller couches
"O-Oh. That doesn't explain why you're not in the hospital." She said and took her seat next to Ikuto and Rima. She looked around for Umai and she was playing with Kukai's cheeks again. '...I warned him, right..?' She thought as she tried to remember. Kanari scratched the back of her head and laughed.
"About that... I was bored in the hospital so I decided to come here and chat!" She explained as they all heard a knock at the door. Ikuto looked at Amu and sighed. "Don't open it." Kanari ordered with a grim look as she stopped Ikuto from getting up. They all stared at her with the question 'What the fuck did you do?' in their eyes.
"Kanari! Come on! You have to go back to the hospital!" A light female voice shouted from outside. Kanari cussed and ran to the door. She threw it open, pulled in the girl, and shut the door.
"Dammit Llynne I'm fine!" Kanari shouted at the girl with orange hair that reached the middle of her neck. The girl rolled her deep blue eyes and sighed. She wore a white shirt with purple stirpes running across along with black shorts with clip-on lime green suspenders. She took off her white knee-high boots, revealing her black knee socks.
"I don't care if you are. You were told to stay until they got the results!" Llynne scolded. Kanari scoffed under her breath and went over to the others. Llynne frowned and followed. Kanari sat down on the small couch and Umai walked over, reaching up. Kanari laughed before picking her up and smiling. "Hey Umai." She greeted and turned back to Amu. "So what were you saying about a design?" She asked as she tickled Umai, completely ignoring Llynne's shouting.
"Oh." Was all she said before frowning and groaning at the mention of her unsellable design. "I have a design for a dress that I've been wanting to sell but it looks like no one wants it." She whined as she slouched in her seat. Kanari laughed.
"It'll sell. Knowing your designs, you just haven't reached the right group." Utau reassured the moping Amu. Amu smiled and sighed.
"Okay, before we start talking again, is there anyone else that might walk through that door?" Ikuto asked, looking at everyone for an answer. They all paused and thought about it.
"Nope." They all replied one by one. He looked at Amu and waited for her answer. She looked like she was about to say someone's name but she stopped and shook her head. She did that about four more times before smiling and shaking her head. He sighed and motioned for them to continue. They laughed and started their own little conversations.
"...I just realized something." Kukai said aloud. They all turned to him with raised eyebrows and contained their laughter when they realized that he had made a mistake letting Umai play with his cheeks because they were a bright red that could challenge Amu's blush. "Is it me, or is this sorta like a family reunion?" He asked. They all stared at him amazed that he could point something like that out. They shared glances, even Umai, before smiling.
"...You're actually right for once..." Nagi said completely mistified. Kukai grinned and gave a thumbs up, not realizing the insult in Nagi's sentence. Utau was shocked by her husband. Ikuto laughed and smiled.
"It really is like a family reunion." He said. They all laughed and nodded. Soon, the rest of the day flew by in what seemed like minutes. They all went home, except Kanari who was dragged back to the hospital by Llynne, and Amu was in Umai's room, putting her to sleep. Ikuto was in the kitchen making dinner.
"Did you have fun meeting your family? I bet you had fun playing with Uncle Kukai's cheeks, huh?" She asked quietly with a smile etched into her soft expression. Umai giggled. "Did you like Auntie Yaya? She acts just like you anyways." She teased. Amu continued to talk to her daughter about her 'family' as she rocked Umai back and forth in her arms. Once she was asleep, Amu headed to the kitchen and smiled as Ikuto greeted her.
"Is Umai asleep?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her slim waist. She nodded and sighed before winding her arms around his neck.
"It was nice to have everyone over today... Umai looked like she was having a blast." She commeted and started to play with his hair. Ikuto chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah... I've never seen her that happy." He said.
"Me too. I'm glad we have a daughter like her..." She said softly. He smiled and nodded.
"We're lucky to have her... Just how I'm lucky to have you." He said and kissed her. She smiled against his lips and kissed back. It was short and sweet, both satisfied. "You know... I remember the night we-"
"Be quiet!" She shouted and shoved him away from her. He chuckled as he ruffled his hair and sat at the table, a blushing Amu following. No matter how many times Umai pinched Kukai's cheeks, they could never come close to Amu's blush around Ikuto. They sat and ate their dinner, Ikuto making random perverted commets causing Amu to blush like a strawberry.
...And that's way it should be. The way it will stay. Forever.
~Happily Ever After... I Think~
Jewel: It's finally Done... (Sobs)
Amu: It was a nice story... At least I don't have to listen to Ikuto's pervertedness anymore.
Jewel: ...Well... I have an annoucement!
Ikuto: What the hell do you want?!
Amu: I was about to ask that... Just not as loud or angerily.
Jewel: THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL CALLED Tsukiyomi Umai!
Ikuto: ...I love you!
Jewel: No! Love Amu! (Shoves towards Amu)
Amu: What the-
Jewel: Please R&R if you want a sequel! Goodbye for now!
