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
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.
