Confabulation. (A Skip Beat! Fanfic)

Cherry Blossems and Butterflys

The next 2 weeks were...well... they were simply amazing, Julie thought as she watched Kuon, Kuu and Kyoko playing with Rosa on the grass by the house. Kyoko had taken to motherhood like a duck to water while Kuon was a born father and husband and as the days passed Julie watched as Kyoko's and Kuon's relationship blossomed into something beautiful. She loved watching her small family, but there was something that worried her. What if her son never got his memories back in order? The fact was it had been almost a month now since the accident. How would Kuon be able to work again? Would they have to take the truth into their own hands and tell the world of Kuon? Would they have to remove Ren from the world and just tell them he would never recover? They were already asking where he was and how he was? Lory was already struggling with the press. The fake hospital Ren was supposedly staying in was being swept by undercover reporters and other such people daily.

"So I was thinking maybe we could go out tomorrow, there is the cherry viewing tomorrow and I thought it would be a nice day for all of us to go out. Of course we would have to get a little dressed up but what do you think?" Kuon asked looking at Kyoko, who smiled at him sitting there on the grass with Rosa. She had run out of reasons not to allow Kuon out of the house. Lory and the doctor had told him two weeks ago to give it another two weeks to make sure he was fully recovered and there had been Kyoko's comments about wanting to spend family time with Rosa, but what excuse did she have now? What could she possibly say to try and stop him from going out into the world? She smiled at Kuon then shot a look at Kuu who sat beside him, giving the slightest nod.

"It sounds wonderful Kuon." she heard her own voice replying. Well it had to be done sometime if Kuon was to remain this way. She supposed though she would have to tell Lory as soon as possible as she was sure he would have considered this eventuality or at least she hoped he had. As lunchtime neared she excused herself to make something for all of them, taking this moment to call Lory. Kyoko stood quietly in the kitchen as she heard ringing through her phone.

"Hello Kyoko-chan? Everything OK?" Lory asked. Kyoko swallowed deeply before replying.

"Hello President. Yes everything is OK apart from the fact Kuon has decided he wants to go to the local cherry blossom viewing tomorrow." Kyoko waited as silence met her words on the other end of the line, Lory sat on the couch in his office and inhaled deeply, he had known this day was coming.

"Kyoko we cannot stop him any longer, you realise that, don't you?" her voice was small in answering but Lory felt the strength behind it and smiled to himself.

"Yes sir I understand. I will do everything I can." she wasn't quite sure what she would be required to do but she had accepted her love for Kuon and Rosa if that meant their protection.

"Shall I have Jelly come over tomorrow around 8?" Lory asked hoping to put his favourite Love Me girl at ease if only a little bit.

"Yes, please. Thank you." with her parting words Kyoko snapped shut her cellphone and breathing deeply began making sandwiches. She had to admit to herself she was beginning to feel a little excited by the whole outing with her faux husband and her daughter.

Kyoko dressed Rosa in a beautiful dress. The shoulders and neckline were made of a soft pink netting flowing down above the chest into silk decorated as if the sun was shining through pink cherry blossoms. Below the small waistline was a swirl of what seemed to be purple and blue flowers with a colony of swirling pink and blue butterflies rising from them. She popped a small blue cardigan over the top and a blue flower headband in her hair with small blue pumps on her feet to complete the outfit. Kyoko couldn't help the tears that rose to her eyes as she picked Rosa up, cuddling her baby girl to her chest.

"You look just like a little princess, Rosa." she said kissing Rosa's forehead as Rosa giggled, grabbing handfuls of Kyoko's now waist length black hair courtesy of Jelly. Kyoko was dressed in a very simple but elegant white summer dress, that ended mid thigh and had a plunging v neckline with spaghetti straps over her shoulders and small white pumps on her feet. She looked at the two of them together in the mirror as she picked up her white wide-brimmed sun hat.
