As the pair walked out of her house and she turned to lock the door. He stopped and looked at the sky. The sun was shining and was brighter than normal. He hoped it was a sign of some good things to come. When she joined him in the front, she looked at him. “I think since we drove in your car yesterday, I will be the one driving today.” He said as he walked around to the passenger side and opened the door and bowed as she moved passed him. “Your chariot awaits, my dear.”
“I have I told that you are weird?” she asked as she sat down and put the seat belt on.
They saw Kyle, who was looking over a file in front of him when they walked in. he looked up and smiled at the sight of the pair. Kit had to wonder what it was about everyone looking at them like they were a thing. It was simply two friends helping each other out. She had to keep telling herself that otherwise, the way everyone else was looking at them would get to her as well. That was something she could do right now. She had to stay focused.“Well, I am glad you both are here. So, what do you want first the good news or the bad news?” Kyle said as he walked over to the two of the
The parking lot was completely full, and the news cameras and trucks were still parked on the street as they got to the facility. They both had to look around and see everything that was going on. It was total chaos with all the activity. The police were there looking at everyone, including the detective who they had talked to the night before. He looked at the two of them and nodded as he told the person standing at the door, they were free to go in. Everyone else had to have ID’s checked and verified as to their purpose there.“They are not allowed to be here!” The nurse at the front desk almost yelled as they walked in. The woman had a scowl on her face as she started pointing at them. Kit and Mitsuhide were looking around w
Kit looked up to Mitsuhide’s face after he said that, and she was confused with his words. He wanted nothing more than to hold her close, though. He moved his arm around her when there was a person at the door who coughed to let them know they were there.“Sorry to interrupt.” They both heard Simon’s voice enter the room, “I wanted to check on my patient and to see if she could be moved.”“You found her a place?” Kit asked as she turned to the other man at the door. She was almost surprised that he had found a place so quickly. Many places would never want a person like June in their center because of the risks invol
As Mitsuhide and Simon walked out of the room together to go start the paperwork of having June moved to another place. Kit walked around the room and was judging what was June’s in the first place and what they needed to pack it up. She glanced to the woman who was on the bed.“You know June, your brother is something else. I know more about him now because of you. I can only imagine how it must have been for you as his sister.” Kit said softly. “We have been friends for a few years, and I learned more about him in the past two days than in those years. I knew he was a good man, and I did let my guard down a bit around him knowing it was safe, but he never let his down until this happened. I guess it is his way. I unders
Mitsuhide watched Kit over the next few days as they settled June into the sleep study center and made her semi-permanent room more like a real room for someone who was at the sleep center to rest instead of why she was there. Kit was the one who was making sure everything was in place for his sister in a way that he didn’t know how too. He was in awe of her every time he watched her handle some of the major hurdles that were put in their way. He was coming to grips that he was ousted as his sister’s primary caregiver, and he was okay with all of that. Kit would spend the nights researching everything she could get her hands on about cases like this one or anything like it. As she would continue to read them, he could see they were
He ignored her comment and tried to make the rest of the baby shower memorable not only for her but everyone who was around her with his reaction to her. She was used to being the one on the sidelines and not in the true spotlight. He watched her cousin receive all the attention because of her state, and he wanted that for Kit as well and the twins. He wanted her to have something like this where they celebrated the twins. No matter what he wanted to do, he wanted to celebrate them and her. He could see how she was seen within her own family. It was surprising to him because she was so open to people. They all thought she was beyond having a man around her, and it showed with the questions that she
“I think we should get the twins used to our voices.” Kit said as they settled into the couch at her house.“How do you purpose we do that?” he asked as he moved his head to glance at her.“I think we should make like a recording of us talking into a cheap mp3 player or something like that and have headphones play them for the babies on repeat. That way, they hear us and will know our voices when they are born. We should also go and get a few tee-shirts and wear them and not wash them.” Kit said.“And why would we do that?” he asked, c
Things moved forward like it was supposed to. June began to pass every goal that was made for her as everything was going normal as could be for her situation. Now at twenty-seven weeks, everyone was keeping their fingers crossed that they could push her for another few weeks along. The twins were doing well, as well. They were meeting the goals set for them. They both were still measuring about the same and seemed to be weighing a little bit more than they hoped for. Things were going great.Kit and Mitsuhide went in every day at the end of the day to just talk to June about everything and anything. Though it was always the same. Kit had started to cut her main working hours to help with the transition of becoming a parent when the time came. S
Four months later…….Kit was lying in the hospital bed tired with beads of perspiration still running down her forehead as Mitsuhide refused to leave her side for even a second. He looked at her, and then he craned his neck to the two small creatures that were taking up most of the attention in the room. “Let’s get you finished up here, and then you can see them both.” The doctor said as Mitsuhide began wiping her forehead again.“You did
Kit and Mitsuhide stood at the entranceway to the vined archway that led into the butterfly garden. It was now past dusk but not yet fully dark. The lights shimmered around them as they just held hands. Today had been a celebration of life, and it had turned out better than either of them could hope for. This would have made June happy.The three weeks of planning since the day after the explosion had taken their toll on the pair. Though they had finally managed to make everything come together into a wonderful day event that not only celebrated June’s life but the two lives, she brought forth into the world. Kit’s sisters had made sure that Sara was
They got everything ready to go to the courthouse for the day. She knew taking them would set her family off, and she didn’t care. She wanted Cindy to see that the babies were hers now, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Mitsuhide also knew why Kit wanted this, and though he didn’t like the idea of using the babies, he would go along with it because everything she had done for him in the past, she never wanted anything in return. However, this one thing she wanted to do. He thought to himself if this helps her, in the end, it could not hurt. He would be there, and nothing could hurt them or her if he was.They loaded their car and started off to the courthouse. “Are you sure you want them to be there?” he ask
Kit knew for the rest of the week she was going to hear from her family in the vicious cycle that they loved to run rampant with. Kirsten’s arrest and the charges that were pending that involved Kit were on the forefront of everyone’s minds. However, it was the fact that she was also being charged with conspiracy along with her mother on some, if not all, of the same charges. That made them all pause for a little bit and start to think about everything that Cindy was charged with. Kirsten snapped in the interrogation room and would not stop talking. She went on and on about the entire plan and how it was a perfect way for her and her mother to bond. She would get the accolades of being a
As Kit looked out into the backyard, she could see the pieces of trash thrown everywhere that was coated in the slimy concoction that looked like congealed blood. It was something that could inspire horror movies from the looks of it. She understood why Mitsuhide didn’t want her to see it or the other guys in the house as well. She knew they would downplay anything just to keep her calm. She almost smiled at that. She knew they all were trying. Things were looking like that other shoe was falling right now. She took a deep breath and turned around and looked at the door for a minute.She walked back into the house and then looked around at the men standing there. They were all looking at her like she was going to explode. Instead, she look
“That was perfect.” The DA said to her as they walked back to the room where the witnesses were being held. She had almost forgot about the things that went on before she took the stand. She was riding a high of knowing that she probably sealed the deal on Cindy’s conviction with her testimony. She was smiling when she entered the room. It was beyond a smile, though. It was that she was beaming in a way. She knew after that Cindy would be put away for the longest possible time. All because her lawyer brought it up.“That is a nice look,” Mitsuhide said as he looked at his wife who was smiling with the happiest smile, he had seen her with, probably ever. “What is for?”
Mitsuhide was called up to the stand first. He had to go over the things that he saw firsthand on his sister’s condition in the facility. They were trying to make it seem like he was crazy for noticing things. As the records were doctored at some point and everyone knew that by now, they had the proof but wanted to give the human element to the case. He knew it was going to be this type of questioning. “And what happened after you came to the facility after you were informed of your sister’s condition?” The Da asked as he walked around the open space.“The first night, I was accused of po
She looked around the room they would be in most of the day and saw that a few of the other families were there along with the young infants with them. It seemed no one was going to take a chance with the welfare of the babies in question. Six half-siblings that were born a week apart and most of them on the same day. This was the end result of the actions taken by one delusional woman. Kit had to sit down as she looked around and saw them all in one place except for theirs who were at home being guarded by an entire team of special forces.“Where are your two?” One woman asked. Kit remembered her from the care facility as being the sister of one of the women. She held the baby girl close to her.
As expected, Cindy did not take the deal that was offered. She said she thought a jury would understand her plight with everything in her life and why she had to do what she did. Kit was beyond angry about the whole thing, knowing they would all be dragged through a trail and have to relive everything again. Now they had, even more, to deal with, with the upcoming trial. The prosecution already had everything ready because of the trail before. It was all going to happen quickly, and then they hoped things could calm down for all the families involved.Kit and Mitsuhide were both going to be called as witnesses. They would have to talk about the things they had tried very hard to forget on the stand. Everything was getting to her right now though
