Our children played in the fields with Taiju's kids, giggling away. The wolf pup I rescued was the large black wolf that was running around with them. Music class was going great for all of the students, an official choir was now formed. Five years had passed since the wedding, and I was not feeling that well. Nauseous all of the time, and unable to hold my food down again. Also I was late for the past couple of months. Of course I took a test and it was positive. I was always told that I couldn't have any more children, the surprise was the most pleasant one.

"Hello, my moon." Senku called, walking over to me. Grease covered his white outfit, his hands were filthy. Bya and Min ran over, hugging his legs. They immediately chatted away about school and their latest scientific project. He laughed and smiled through it all.

Dinner was over, and the kids were sleeping. Slight stubble dotted his chin, bags under his eyes. He leaned on the railing gazing at the sky, going away into his thoughts. My fingers wrapped around his, him nearly jumping out of his skin.

"I have something for you." I announced as I gave him a brown box. "Go on, open it." His eyes glittered with excitement, the box whispering as it opened. In it sat a blue paper, his eyes welling up.

"You're pregnant." He stammered, wrapping his arm around my waist. "I was told that you couldn't have any more kids." Tears fell down his cheek, a soft smile spreading across his face.

"I am." I babbled happily, placing his hand on my bump. "So you better get ready." I rested my head on his shoulder, knowing that everything was going to be alright. A shooting star flew by my window, both of our smiles radiating the night.
