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
The day was long, and it seemed like nothing was going to go right for Doctor Kit Jones. When it was finally over, she drove home, enjoying the peace in the car. Though she was still frustrated from the day and the fact that it seemed that no one around her could do the simplest of things she was trying to unwind during the traffic jam as she drove home. It was not the place she normally would unwind, but it was the only place she could at the moment.As the music was turned up, Kit waited somewhat impatiently for the whatever the obstacle was to be cleared as she drove about two miles an hour tra
She had to sit back for a second and think about what he just said. It was a shock, and she now understood why he was so completely and utterly lost in his mind. He hadn’t even thought of this because he had not properly grieved for his sister yet either. Though they were good friends, some might even say best friends, she had never known about his sister. She didn’t even know he had a twin at all. That was for another time.“Okay, let’s start again at the beginning.” She said as she tried to clear out her mind. “When did you receive this call?”
Inside, the building was pandemonium as they walked in together. The staff was off to one side, and the police and investigators were asking questions. As soon as they were spotted, they were rushed into a small room. She had Mitsuhide’s hand in hers as he watched them want to get him alone. He was not having any of that as he kept her close to him. Holding her hand even tighter at times that should have hurt, but it never did. he was not letting go of his lifeline at any costs.“Mr. Akechi. I have to ask you a few questions.” One of the detectives said as he looked over the two.“Okay,” Mitsuhide replied.
She was watching as a pair of young doctors were going over the woman. It seemed that they were shocked and puzzled at what they were finding. The nurses were hovering and trying to interject their thoughts on everything the doctors were finding. As if this was a routine event, and nothing was really wrong. Kit looked around the room to the small monitors and everything else that was in the room. Kit had to wonder why this place was supposed to be one of the best care centers in the country with what she was seeing. There was a vase of fresh flowers by June’s bed, and Kit knew those were from Mitsuhide. It looked like he had brought in some of her things over the years he had watched over her
Mitsuhide snapped out his mental fog as he looked at Kit and then June. He had been lost in his fog as he thought of only his sister since he got the call, but it seemed he wasn't processing all the words he had heard. It wasn't until Kit said it like that did he realize there was another human involved as well. The baby, his sister, was carrying. The same baby that just kicked him as he touched his sister and it. “Kit, there is a baby.” He said as he realized how dumb he sounded. Of course, she knew that already. It seemed she was much better at this than he was. Though he had to think he was still in shock. He had no idea what to do. What was going to go on with the baby? What the baby was? This was never a place he thought he wou
Kit had to take a second to herself as Simon packed up his things and started to give Mitsuhide all his contact info. Simon was more than willing to take on the case and work for Mitsuhide as a private physician for June. This was a challenge all its own, and the other doctor liked those. As far as Simon was concerned, this could be the one that made his career. Kit continued to look out the window without thinking or really listening to the two men in the room as they had a conversation behind her.“I will write up a detailed report and have it sent over to the police and to you,” Simon said as he reached out his hand to Mitsuhide. “Thank you f
After about an hour, more of them going back and forth with the three people Kit and Mitsuhide exhausted with the other people. Finally, they were allowed to leave. As they did, they knew this was going to be a fight. Every paper they wanted Mitsuhide to sign had some other clause written into it that would basically sign over his sister’s care to the facility and the same was for the babies as well. He was fuming as he made a stack of papers in front of him. The lawyer went to remove the papers in front of him, but Mitsuhide was faster in picking them up. Kit could see another standoff was about to happen. She moved to stand between them. “If you have any other questions or papers to sign, please have them directed to Kyle Mitchel,
“I don’t want to think of the what-ifs.” He said softly as he tried to focus on something out the window as she drove.“Well, you do have to think about them regardless of you wanting too or not.” Kit said equally as softly. “Mitsu, no one wants to think about those, but you have to know them.”“I think I already do.” He replied.“Oh well, some of them for sure. However, you have choices you need to make, and the only way you can make those that are right for you and for June is if you actually hear them.” Kit said as
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
