A few years pass...
And they are still together...
Their lives are a whirlwind of love, support, and adventure. Kolton, now a successful artist, paints Tomoko's beauty as often as he can, capturing not just her stunning features, but the light that seems to radiate from within. He also writes stupid love songs for her too. Tomoko, meanwhile, has found her passion for photography, chronicling their lives together with an artist's eye for detail and emotion. They travel the world, exploring new cultures and cuisines, expanding their horizons and deepening their connection to each other.
They have settled into a comfortable routine, waking up together in their cozy apartment, making breakfast in bed, and laughing over their favorite anime shows. Kolton takes Tomoko to work, where he brags about her to anyone who will listen, and she returns the favor by telling everyone about his latest exhibition. They meet for lunch, often at their favorite sushi spot, where they reminisce about the day they first met and how far they've come since then.
One day Tomoko finds out that she is pregnant... With Koltons child.
They are overjoyed and terrified, but they know they'll face this challenge together.
They spend the next several months preparing for their little one's arrival, painting the nursery and debating names. Kolton even takes up cooking, determined to make Tomoko's pregnancy as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
The pregnancy progresses quickly, and before they know it, Tomoko is going into labor. Kolton holds her hand as they make their way to the hospital, their hearts racing with anticipation and fear. The nurses usher them into a private room where they wait, breathing exercises and jokes filling the silence. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, they hear the first cry of their child. Kolton tears up as he holds their tiny, wriggling son in his arms for the first time.
Tomoko looks on, her face a mix of exhaustion and joy, as she watches Kolton fall in love with their baby all over again.
They spend the next several weeks adjusting to their new life as parents. Kolton takes time off from work to help Tomoko recover and care for the baby...
It quickly becomes apparent that parenthood isn't easy, but they wouldn't trade it for anything. They laugh, they cry, they lose their minds a little, but they do it together. They learn to navigate the tricky waters of sleep deprivation and dirty diapers, and in the process, they fall even deeper in love with their little family.
Kolton loves Tomoko...
Tomoko loves Kolton...
And they both love their son very much...
