Whenever Senjuro would invite you to the Rengoku estate for dinner, Kyojuro would always answer for you and politely decline. You know that he means well and only ever wants the best for you but you were starting to think that he didn't want to introduce you to his father because he was ashamed of you. Although he has introduced you to his little brother, you couldn't help but be insecure.
You sat at the three tatami mat floor of the laundry room, folding your recently washed and dried sheets. The shoji door sliding, revealing your husband. He sighed, sitting next to you, grabbing the sheets from your hands to fold them himself, "My love, If you needed help with chores, you could have just asked for me." You pouted "Kyo, You don't let me do anything around the house anymore. I feel like I'm being lazy." he brought you closer to him kissing your forehead. "You're pregnant, my love. Not lazy. Just relax and sit back." You sighed as you snuggled in closer to Kyojuro, his warmth instantly relaxing your body. The peaceful moment interrupted by Senjuro's messenger crow.
"CAW CAW, A MESSEGE FOR L/N Y/N AND RENGOKU KYOJURO!" The bird yelled out as it landed on the window sill, dropping a scroll on to the floor. You and Kyojuro looked at each other with questioning looks and opened the scroll together.
"Aniki, I would like for you and Y/N-kun to come visit, if it isn't much trouble to the two of you especially them, since they're pregnant, Father has been asking about them and I don't know what to say most of the time, he gets upset but doesn't nudge further that that. I'll cook dinner. Hope you accept the invitation, I love you."
-Senjuro
You both looked at each other as your husband sat with a conflicted expression. "Well, Kyo. Accept the invite. I'm sure Senjuro would be elated." You said as you pulled out paper and ink from the cabinet. "I-I don't know love, we have to travel quite a bit to get there, it might be too much of a strain on you and the babe." It was that thoughtagain. Was he just making excuses at this point? "Kyojuro, if you don't want your family to meet me, because you're ashamed you can just tell me. Stop trying to make excuses." You said tears welling in your eyes as you tried to blink them away. His eyes widened at the accusation. "Why would I be ashamed of the love of my life. My love, I'm not trying to make excuses, I'm just worried." You sniffled as he held you, his chin resting at the top of your head as he held your arms, rubbing them gently. "Then why don't you want him to see me?" Slightly pushing him away as you turned your head, a tear running down your cheek. He lamented at you rejecting his affection. "You're not the problem, sunbeam. It's my father. I know I tend to avoid these kinds of topics but I'd rather do that then see my darling cry. My father drinks very often and is quite verbally and physically aggressive. I-I just- I don't want you to get hurt." He said with a saddened look in his eyes, his statement making you soften up and go back to hugging him. "I-I'm sorry, Kyo. I didn't know..." Nodding he just smiled. "It's not your fault, darling. It's mine for not talking about it. We're married as I shouldn't be keeping things from you." You shook your head. "It's no one's fault, love. Let's go to that dinner hmm?" He smiled making you smile too.
Stepping out of the carriage you came face to face with the tall wooden gates that surrounded the Rengoku estate. The massive doors cracked open, revealing Senjuro whose glum expression suddenly morphed into a happy one, his bright gold eyes lighting up as he ran to you and Kyojuro. "Aniki! Y/N-kun! You're here!" he hugged you making sure to be careful of your stomach. Smiling you hugged him back. His hands grasping yours as he gently dragged you inside. "Y/N-kun. hurry hurry! I made your favorite sweet." Giggling at his adorableness as he sat you down and giving you a glass of water. The three of you were all talking happily then the door slid open, the sheer force making the wooden frame seemingly crack. It was a disheveled man, holding a gourd of barley sake. His eyes scanned the room, landing on you and narrowing making you feel anxious. You bowed your head curtly.
"Rengoku-san, It's nice to meet you. I hope you take care of me!" You say as respectfully as you could, the man stood silently for a while making you more nervous. Looking up to meet his intimidating stare. "Tch, whatever. Senjuro get me another bottle of sake and stop with that stupid smile of yours!" He grumbled turning away to go back to his room. You understood now what Kyojuro meant when he said 'he has an aggressive man' He scared you. Senjuro looking down dejected as he stood up to do as his father said. You looked at the boy sadly as you turned to Kyojuro to gage what he would do but he just looked down evidently upset and hurt.
As the dinner progressed, it went along uneventful. Shinjuro not coming out of his room nor making a noise which at first worried Senjuro upon checking up on him, he was seemingly passed out. With the dinner coming to an end you decided to fix your father-in-law a plate of food, that maybe he would see it as some sort of a peace offering. Kyojuro was sure his father wouldn't hit a pregnant person, but worries bubbled in his chest. You were a sweet and gentle soul, although you were patient, his father wasn't, he didn't want you to be verbally lashed at. but he let you, trusting the both of you and himself that he would be there to protect you.
You opened the shoji screens to his bedroom, his figure lumped over as he had his back turned to you. hesitating before taking a deep breath and entering quietly sliding the door behind you, He turned to look at you and you gulped. "Rengoku-san. I've bought you dinner. Please eat." You say putting the tray of food before you before bowing, getting ready to leave when he called out for you. "Y/N." He called out sternly, making a shiver run down your spine. You turned to look at him. "Yes, Rengoku-san?" Standing nervously, you fiddled with your fingers as he approached you. Looking up surprised when he lunged towards you.
You stood there shocked as Shinjuro hugged you, the smell of alcohol wafting off of him. You could hear him sobbing. "Rengoku-san? Are you alright? Do I need to call for a physician?" His sudden change in behavior startled you. "No. I just want to say thank you." He said quietly as he finally let you go, turning his head away, his wild hair obscuring his face. "Thank you?" Did you bringing him dinner make him this emotional? What the hell is happening? You asked yourself, confused. "For making my son happy. His mother passed when he was but a boy. I didn't help much with him turning out to be the phenomenal man he is today. After I saw how he looked at you today, how happy he was. I just want to thank you." He said genuinely as he sat back down looking gloomy. "After Kamado-kun came over, seeing how other people saw my boy. It made me want to be a better person..." His normal rough voice softened unexpectedly. "I just hope it isn't late now that Kyojuro is starting his own family too." You sympathized with the man as you knelt down beside him
"Rengoku-san, it's never too late to be a better person. You should see Kyojuro and I starting as a new opportunity, after all I'm sure my baby would love to grow up with their grandpa by their side." You smiled. Shinjuro's eyes widening as tears welled as he now bowed respectfully to you. "Thank you. So much." He said, gratitude clear in his voice. You stood up and walked towards the door. "Well then, I'll be taking my leave. I'll make sure to visit with Kyojuro regularly." You smiled leaving him alone once again.
Walking towards the dinning room to where Kyojuro was you slid the door open revealing him relived face. "How did it go, love?" He asked. "Y/N-kun, are you alright?" Senjuro asked worried still. "It went fine, the both of you. He was kind to me." You say smiling while the brothers sat looking at each other with weird looks on their faces.
