"Aaaaaw  ​just look at those cute baby clothes Yuma wore." Cat exclaimed while holding a baby pram suit.

"it's a good thing I kept those baby clothes. I knew they would come in handy once." Haru said.

Yuma and his friends were seeking through some boxes of old babies stuff for some useable items. They found toys, clothes and Yuma's favourite baby blanket.

"Hey, haven't seen this blanket for years." Yuma said with a smile. He held the light blue blanket with white stars in his hands.

Haru chuckled. "I remember that Yuma wouldn't sleep without that blanket. He then kept crying for his 'blue blanky'. It took a while before Yuma didn't need it anymore."

Everyone of his friends laughed loud, even Astral laughed softly, while Yuma was blushing like a red tomato.

"Thanks Grandma." Yuma mumbled.

"Oh sorry sweetie. But you were so cute back then." Haru said.

After they stopped laughing and they continued to search through the boxes when Astral suddenly gasped. He reached to his abdomen. Immediately everyone stopped searching and looking with concern.

"Astral, everything alright?" Yuma asked in concern.

Astral nodded. "Yes, it's just the baby."

Everyone gasped. "Is the baby coming?" Yuma exclaimed in panic.

Astral shook his head chuckling softly. "No, no relax. The baby isn't coming." Astral assured them. "I just felt a wave of energy from the baby pulsing through me. It sometimes surprises me." Astral explained so everyone sighed from relief.

"You know that's sounding just like a baby kicking." Kotori said. Astral's confused face told Kotori to explain it further. "At one point the baby starts to kick inside the tummy of the mother. And it's the mother who feels the most of it, just like you did then."

Haru chuckled. "Yuma was quite a kicker when his mother was 5 months pregnant. And he didn't make it easy for Mira and Kazuma. Poor Kazuma always panicked whenever Mira gasped."

"It seems to run in the family." Tetsuo said with a grin.

"I am going to pick some of the other boxes Grandma." Yuma suddenly said and went upstairs.

Kotori just took out a baby rattle when she saw Astral looking at the stairs with a frown.

"What's with the frown on your face Astral?" Kotori asked.

"There was a hint of sadness in Yuma's voice for a second." Astral answered.

"Why would Yuma feel sad?" Caswell asked.

Astral shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but I will see if I can talk with him." He then alone floated up the stairs towards Yuma's room.

When he entered Yuma had his back to him while looking inside some boxes.

"Are you alright Yuma?" Astral asked.

Yuma didn't answer immediately instead he kept looking at the boxes in front of him. He sighed deeply. "Yeah I am fine Astral." Yuma answered.

"Then why did I hear a hint of sadness before you went upstairs?" Astral asked.

"What? There was no hint of sadness. Where did you get that idea?" Yuma asked confused.

"Yuma, I am far better with understanding human emotions now. And I know you. I know when something is bothering you." Astral said.

Yuma turned around and looked annoyed. "Stop being so observant Astral. Do you know how annoying that is?" Yuma snapped.
