18: Love

TRIGGER WARNING

While having late nights with baby Hinata I started my research on my family. I started with Facebook the last name Keiji I didn't know many. And my adopted parents had a different last name. The first lead I had was a girl. I did further research, and found she had both parents. Next was a male. Nothing again. When that failed I turned to phone books. Looking up people in the area at the time I was born with the same last name. Most elderly people who with a Google search could find had moved on.
" What do you think you mama's odds are of finding a family member? " I looked down at the baby crow who smiled while sucking a bottle.
" I hope that's a good luck smile"
Every night was the same old situation. I'd get my hopes up, and only have them crushed. One night I did come close when I found an Aiko. She lead me to who u assumed was a friend of hers that had an old picture of my mom. I messaged her asking if she knew the girl in the photo, and if she'd be willing to tell me anything about her. I never got a response only a thing popping up saying she had blocked me.
I groaned setting the crow in his crib watching to make sure he stayed asleep. Then back to my research. I was close to making an account on a website to find out my family tree. But that would change one night.
Sitting down in the rocking chair with Hinata in my arms rocking him softly. I picked up the book me and Hinata had started during our late nights. Currently me and my little crow were reading The Giver
" 'Gabe' the newchild stirred-" I was interrupted by a ping on my phone. I looked down seeing it was an unknown number so I ignored it.
" Stirred slightly in his sleep Jonas looked over him. 'There could b-" The message texted me again. This time I checked it.

867-5309: Akaashi Keiji right? Well it's Kōtarō now by your profile. A friend messaged me saying you were looking for some answers about your family?

I raised an eyebrow hesitantly texting back.

Akaashi: yeah that's me... Who are you and what friend?

867-5309: I'm Jenny with Abby village! I'm a care giver, and we have someone who might be related to you here. The friend was a Kenma Kozume?

I laughed softly. That damn cat always a step ahead.

Akaashi: course it was Kenma.. What do you mean by you might have someone related to me there?

867-5309: we have a patient here who always tells us stories about her daughter. Her names Kuwa Keiji. Her daughter was Aka Keiji.

So I have my mom's last name. Wanted to leave me with something

867-5309: Kuwa has told us about how her daughter got pregnant at a younger age. The father was killed in a crash. Kuwa said Aka never showed she cared for the man.. Kuwa also has told us of how her daughter committed suicide a few years after giving birth to a son. She felt guilty for giving him up, but had no choice.. I could set up a time for you to come bye if you would like to see if she is your grandmother.

Akaashi:... Friday at 2 works?

867-5309: PERFECT!! I'll tell the ladies at the front desk to be on the look out for ya!

I sat my phone down looking back at the book.
" There could be love' Jonas whispered " I looked down at the sleeping crow in my arms. I closed the book setting it aside. Laying hinata in his crib, I kissed his cheek and softly whispered to him.
" We'll see if there is Love.. "
