[Sephy]

Tai happily ate what his auntie fed him

Ren smiled as he ate and said "Trish honey I was thinking, what about a trip?"

Haru smiled as he suckled gently on his pacifier.

[Anon17a]

"A trip where, darling?" Trish asked as she looked at Ren.

"Aww sweetheart. You are so cute." Haruko said as she nuzzled his cheek a little

[Sephy]

"Wherever you like my love" Ren replied.

Haru regressed to what is now his more normal and happy age. He sat in his mommy's lap and looked at her with adoring eyes.

[Anon17a]

"Well I'm not too sure, honey so you can pick where." Trish said and smiled.

Haruko smiled lovingly at him as she held him close and kissed his forehead

[Sephy]

"I was thinking about a tropical trip to Hawaii or the Caribbean" Ren replied.

Tai heard this and whined and fussed while reaching for his mommy.

Haru suckled his pacifier while he nuzzled into his mommy.

Hanae come around and saw Haru with Haruko. Hanae was on the fence about Haru's treatment. He saw his son smiling. "I guess Dr. Trish is right" he said to himself.

[Anon17a]

"Oooh that sounds lovely." Trish said as she took Tai in her arms. "Shhh what's wrong Tai Tai? Does your diapee need changing?" She cooed as she checked his diaper.

Haruko gave her baby a few kisses as she cuddled him closely to her

[Sephy]

Tai was wet and only slightly messy.

Hanae went to see is daughter. "How did you sleep honey?"

Haru giggled happily, letting his pacifier drop, with a line of drool.

[Anon17a]

"Aww how's about we get you fresh diaper when we get to the car hm?" Trish said

"I slept alright, is Haru okay?" Hana asked

Haruko caught his pacifier and gently wiped his drool away

[Sephy]

Tai nodded while he clinged to his mommy.

Ren asked his sister. "Would you might watching over Tai when we leave. You could stay at our place if you like"

"He's with mom" Hanae stated back to his daughter. "He seems so much happier than I've ever noticed"

Haru let himself feel safe and cooed to his mommy. "My mommy"

[Anon17a]

"Sure, I won't mind." Rin said happily.

[Sephy]

Much like any meal Tai had had lately, he started pooping. His diet was starting to match that of a 18 month old.

Ren nodded along. "He's going to hate it. He'll probably be a sobbing mess"

"I'm sorry Hana. I truly am. I..... We never meant to leave you to feel alone and hurt. We only wanted the best for you and your brother" Hanae kissed Hana's cheek and said "I hope you found what you need in your new relationship." Hanae said feeling horrible about what he had done to his children.

"Hungie mommy" Haru cooed happily.

[Anon17a]

"Mmhm but he'll be okay. Oooh looks like this little one is making a stinky. Let's head to the car hm?" Trish said

Hana sighed as she tried to fight back her tears. "I-I know.. I know you work so hard to give us the best. Yes, I'm quite happy with my relationship and I think.. I think its time you bring Haru along with you wherever you go. That way he won't feel sad anymore."

"Ooh shall we go downstairs and eat those pancakes?" Haruko said and smiled

[Sephy]

Ren let his family leave while he paid.

"We're talking about opening a more stable company structure here in the city. It'll allow us to be here for Haru after school and on the weekends." Hanae told his daughter.

Haru nodded happily into his mommy's chest.

[Anon17a]

Trish got into the car with Tai. She laid him in the back as she began changing his diaper. "Oh goodness, Tai Tai. You made such a big poopy mess." She cooed as she opened his diaper up.

Hana nodded. "I think he'd like that a lot." She said

Haruko went with Haru as they went to the kitchen

[Sephy]

Tai cooed softly while he was being changed.

"Didn't Dr. Trish's husband work in building design?" Hanae asked.

"Can you feed me mommy?" Haru asked.

[Anon17a]

Trish soon got him into a clean diaper and strapped him in his carseat.

Hana nodded. "Yes, he does. His buildings are amazing." She said

"Sure, baby." Haruko cut up his pancakes as she began feeding him.

[Sephy]

Tai whined as he tried to get out of his car seat.

"I'll have to call for a estimate" Hanae told his daughter. "I heard you moved into a new place."

Haru happily ate what his mommy feed him

Ren returned to his family and started their drive home.

[Anon17a]

"Shh. You have to stay in your carseat, honey." Trish said as she got to the passenger seat.

"Yes, I've moved in with Trish and Ren. I'm dating their son." Hana said

Haruko ate her pancakes as well as she fed Haru

[Sephy]

Tai whined, but calmed down before he started to suckled on his paci.

"Isn't that rather cramped?" Hanae asked back.

Haru tried to clean his face with his hands. This only caused Haru to get even dirtier.

[Anon17a]

Trish smiled as she looked at him through the mirror. "Someone needs a nap when we get home."

Hana shook her head. "Their place is huge." She said

Haruko giggled. "Oh Haru." She took a damp napkin and began cleaning him up

[Sephy]

Ren agreed. "He looks sleepy"

Tai was in and out of sleep on the drive home.

Haru giggled happily as he went to kiss his mommy's cheek.

[Anon17a]

Trish nodded as she smiled a little.

Haruko giggled as she kissed him back

[Sephy]

Ren got them home and went to get Tai out of the car. He brought him inside.

Haru nuzzled into his mommy.

[Anon17a]

Trish helped tuck him in and smiled a little

[Sephy]

Ren smiled as he looked down at Tai in his crib. "Hon I know how attached you are to our little one, so I was thinking of adding a nanny cam in here."

Hanae smiled and said "I'm happy for you honey"
