The Murderer's Wife

Welcome Home

If you asked Tae how she was able to deal with being the wife of a former serial killer, she would look you dead in the eyes and smile. The only words she would say were, "I have my ways." The doctor would make sure everything was done just the way he liked it. As soon as her keys unlock the front door, she hangs her coat on the coat rack, does some cleaning and starts dinner. She always made sure his plate was made as soon as he walked in.

She stood at the stove, cooking and humming to herself as she smiled. The sounds of the food cooking and the aroma made her mouth water. Tae smiled to herself while cooking. She stopped focusing on the stove, so she could start on the rice. Once her rice started, she proceeded to cut the meat. The knife glided across the cutting board as she cut the steak before seasoning it and placing it on the stove to cook. While she was cooking, the door opened again and her husband walked inside. "Good evening my love." Yoshikage smiled softly and placed a kiss upon his wife's head. "I know I'm home early, but I got done with everything early, and the boss said I could go home." His voice was soft and suave as he put his coat away.

"That's good honey." She smiled and looked up at him before he sat down. "So what's for dinner tonight, my sweet?" "Oh Gyudon." The doctor went back to cooking before grabbing some eggs and starting to fry them. "It's quiet around here.." Yoshikage spoke again before gazing at his wife. "Did Hatori and Sayaka decide to run amok again?" "No dear. The kids are out of the house for the weekend. Sayaka is at her friends house, Maki and Akari are at some type of event and Hatori... He decided to see if he was able to stay in jail for a day or two. He was caught, but luckily, it was only misdemeanor charges. I tried to get him to come home after paying his bail, but he decided to say no and that he wasn't moving so I let him be."

Her words cause him to shake his head. "What are we going to do with him? At least tell me that Money Honey was at least trying to stop him?" He was asking about his son's stand. "Nope. Money Honey was laughing... On the floor of the cell according to Hatori." Tae sighed and looked at her husband before giggling. The doctor wasn't able to see stands, but she knew of their existence. Soon, the eggs were done, and she made their plates. She slid Yoshikage his, and placed hers next to him before sitting down. "I have something to tell you darling." Yoshikage grabbed his chopsticks and looked at her. "Yes darling?" "With the kids gone, we can go on that weekend getaway we've been wanting. And also..." She smiled and grabbed his hand.

"There's going to be another little one joining us." She spoke softly causing her husband's eyes to light up. "Oh sweetheart! That's wonderful!" Yoshikage kissed her deeply before looking into her eyes. "I'm so excited." The rest of dinner was full of excited talks for the new addition to the family. Yoshikage smiled before getting up to do the dishes. As he washed and cleaned up the kitchen, Tae went into the bedroom to change before going into the shared office to work on some charts for her patients. She owned and operated her own small clinic in downtown Morioh. As she typed, Yoshikage walked in and handed her a small cup. Inside the cup was her favorite ice cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter Overload. She hummed softly and took a small bite. "Thank you baby." Tae continued her charts until Yoshikage grabbed her hand. "You're getting tired, my love.. Let's go to bed."

Soon, the two of them were cuddling and enjoying each other's company. As soon as Tae's eyes were about to shut, Yoshikage's phone went off. In a hurry, he answered it, only for a frantic voice to be screaming from the other end. "DAD, TAE, I KINDA NEED YOUR HELP. I escaped from jail, and Money Honey isn't helping! He's just throwing money everywhere and running around!" The voice on the other end was Yoshikage's only son, Hatori. "I'll get my coat." Tae groaned as she went to grab her lab coat. A few minutes later, the two of them were at the police station, picking up the crackhead child. "You're lucky I don't have to be at my clinic tomorrow, Hatori." His stepmother sighed and held her temples. He sheepishly chuckled, and the mafia raccoon at his feet looked down at the ground out of embarrassment. After the trio well.. quartet got back to the house, Hatori noticed the leftovers and proceeded to eat. "Thanks Tae." She smiled softly and looked at him. "No problem, sweetie." She ruffled his hair. "Just behave yourself.. to the best of your ability." Hatori gave her a thumbs up.

Tae walked back into her bedroom, and smiled again as her husband embraced her. "Let's get some sleep darling." He cooed softly and she nodded. "Yes. I've been on my feet all day." With that, Tae and Yoshikage went back to bed, and enjoyed a restful slumber.
