“What do you mean?” Mitsuhide asked as they went into the room. She was tired he could already see. The loss of June was going to take a toll on her. She softened her gaze as she looked at the baby who was lying in the small crib. They both were starting to wake up slowly. Kit looked around the room and got the bottles ready for the twins knowing that they would be hungry when they woke up in a few minutes. She also got the diapers ready for them to be changed. Instantly she had gone from grieving to wanting to care for her sons. Mitsuhide had taken the sight in and smiled to himself at it. Kit was one of a kind in everything she did.
“Call the detective please while I get them ready for this.” Kit said, “Have him c
The doctor went over everything with them in about an hour so they could be discharged early. The twins had to come back within three days for another round of bloodwork, but everything was that simple. As Mitsuhide went down to his car and got out the two car seats. Kit was packing up the supplies they had been given by the nurses. They had loaded the two adults up with many bottles and diapers that the twins could probably last about three or four weeks on those supplies alone. Kit knew they had their reasons for this. She smiled and thanked them and asked if the other families, regardless of the outcomes, could get the same amount of supplies for their new ones as well. She even offered to have her department pay for it if it was an issue. The nurse smiled and then told her, &ld
Mitsuhide had completely settled into the couch after he had ordered dinner, and it had arrived. He watched Kit as she did the smallest of things and knew that he was just amazed by her. Though he also knew she had many things on her mind. The day had completely taken a toll on the both of them. It had been good for so many reasons, but at the same time, a part of him was now gone. They had gone from two people living together who were best friends to man and wife and then within hours had become parents for the first time. Life had a funny way of balancing things. They got two lives to take care of instead of the one of his sister. He watched the two small helpless creatures in front of him now in their swings as they watched him back. The way
The detective called an hour later. He was talking to Mitsuhide as Kit was dozing on the couch. Mitsuhide was listening to the man as he was rambling himself at the way everything had come to light. Mitsuhide had to shake his head; it seemed the detective was over his head as any normal person would be in sifting through this horribly tangled mess. Kit had been doing just that since the beginning, and it nearly tore her apart because she actually cared for people on both sides of it.“I could use some help with talking to this one. I think I may have to do something completely unconventional.” The detective stated. “She really won’t talk, and when she does, it is in scriptures.”
Kit walked to the room where the three males in her life were there waiting. She could hear Mitsuhide talking to one of the twins as he walked around with the other. He was almost begging it sounded like. “Mommy will be here as soon as she can be. I swear to you, Jaxon, she will be. Now I know your brother is being loud, but can you not start crying too?”“I don’t think reasoning with them will work out too well.” Kit said as she walked into the room. “They don’t exactly understand what you are saying.”“Did you get what you needed?” Mitsuhide asked. As she walked further into the room and looked around h
It seemed as they laid down in bed with the boys tucked into their bassinets at the end of the bed, everything hit her. It was like watching a replay of the day from the moment that she left the house to the point they came back everything that happened, every decision she made. It was completely overwhelming her. She could feel the tears well up in her eyes, and she knew the second Mitsuhide realized she was about to cry. He had always been good at reading her cues. She couldn’t hide it if she wanted too.“Hush now, my love.” He whispered in her ear. “It is okay now.”“But, it isn’t.” Kit said as she looked up to hi
Mitsuhide was groggy when his eyes opened, and for a minute, he wondered where he was. He was still getting used to living in her house as well. Though it had been two months of him always there, he still had some mornings where he was confused when he opened his eyes. The morning sun was in the window, and Kit was standing before it as she talked softly to the bundle in her arms. “You know I never expected this. I never thought I would have two wonderfully perfect babies in my life. I didn’t know everything would feel like this. You two are simply everything I ever wanted; it is a little overwhelming.”“It will get better,” Mitsuhide said as he tried to clear his throat
A week went by, and the pair of adults knew they were on the right path with their sons. They had fallen into a basic routine that allowed both of them to get some rest during the day as the twins transitioned to sleeping at night. It seemed like the newborns had their timetable messed up, and they want to sleep during the day. At first, it was daunting, but now as they had figured out somethings, it was getting easier for the pair.“Figures,” Mitsuhide said as he looked at the two sleeping in the pack and play in the main room of the house. Though his tone was that of playful disgust, his eyes betrayed him with the amount of love as he looked at the two small monsters in front of him. He was simply too happy to really mind the lack
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
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.
