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
Kit was over her head when she thought about the situation all day about everything. The more she thought about everything she knew, the more she felt lost. This was not something she really could get her mind to follow one step and then the rest. It made perfect sense one time, and then it made none. She seemed to be in a hallway of mirrors that nothing was as it seemed it to be. It was exhausting to think about. She was so far deep into her thoughts the day past to fast, and she had been doing nothing but thinking.When she got home, she saw Mitsuhide’s car, and she felt a tiny bit of relief until she walked in the house and saw him in the middle of the main area. He was still mad. He was going through this as well, and she wanted nothin
Mitsuhide went on his days like normal though his house didn’t seem like his anymore. He was struggling with the concept of not having her to talk too. He knew he had to try to make this right. He had lost more than just a friend. He had lost his heart that night with his words. She had been his rock. His safety net in so much more than just this situation, and he had completely thrown it away. He hurt though he never let anyone else see it through his mask. He couldn’t because he knew he was completely wrong for this.He didn’t know how to fix it. Every day was harder than the one before it. He was getting by with just doing what he had too at work. His visits with June were getting longer every day as he hoped he would run in
Kit walked in the room and instantly wanted to leave it. She hated saying goodbye. She looked at the growing abdomen that held the twins she had begun to think of as her children, and she wanted to cry know this was the last time she would be able to see them. June and the twins had been the center of her life with Mitsuhide. This was the last thing to remove his memory from her mind. It was the hardest as well.It was later than he would normally come, so she knew she was safe from having to see him. she placed the box on the nightstand by June’s bed. It had his name written on the top of it. She took off the headphones that had her voice talking and turned off the mp3 player and placed it on the nightstand as well. They didn’t have
Mitsuhide took Kit back to her house, where he went on to show her how much he missed her the past few weeks and also how much he did truly love her. It started with a simple back rub and then progressed. He knew he would spend the rest of his life paying for that one mistake, if only his mind. He knew it had cost them both something that he wished he could completely take back, but he knew he couldn’t. He also, for the first time, realized the simple power of love in those hours. She was willing to say goodbye to all that she had come to love only because of him and his words and actions. She had been broken and defeated but she still had the heart to want to say goodbye to June and the twins because simply her heart wouldn’t let h
Time passed again in the way it always does. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Though Mitsuhide wanted Kit back on the base but she kept her offices in the hospital to be closer if anything happened to June and the twins. It was a debate they had almost daily. She had decided to keep the post, but she would work via link from now on. Life was moving on, and so were they. After a debate on him moving into the house which he had won. All of Mitsuhide’s things had been moved to her house, and they were striving to make everything work between them. They were stronger now that they at least knew the basic truth of the situation. They knew they were stronger together anyways.
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
