And Then It Was Goodbye

Keiko sighed happily, staring down at her son asleep in his crib. He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

The nursery door opened behind her, and she smiled over her shoulder at her husband. Yusuke walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her. "Kuwabara and Yukina just left, with threats to return tomorrow and kidnap our son."

Keiko giggled, resting her head on Yusuke's shoulder. A comfortable silence filled the room; for a while, all the parents could do was watch their child sleep.

"Our son," Keiko repeated wistfully. She raised her head from Yusuke's shoulder and leaned against the crib. A wry smile tugged at her lips and she shook her head. "Their godson."

Yusuke "mmm"ed thoughtfully, his eyebrows knitting together. "You know," he began slowly, "that's kinda scary."

"What is?" She asked, not bothering to look at him. "That we have a child, or that Kuwabara is the godfather?"

Yusuke scratched the back of his head. "Both."

Keiko nodded in agreement; and that wonderful, comfortable silence filled the room again.

She sighed and wrapped her arms around her husband's waist, nuzzling her face against his chest. He grinned down at her before kissing her chastely.

Keiko was smiling when he pulled away. "I love you, Yusuke."

"I love you too, Keiko," he replied in a sing-songy sort of voice.

She giggled and leaned against him again. "So, Hiei really said no?"

"Yeah," Yusuke nodded, bending down to kiss her temple. "But I got a feeling he'll be around anyway."

Keiko watched the rise and fall of her son's chest as he slept. She watched his tongue loll out of his mouth, and the way his fingers twitched. She noticed, again, how wonderfully peaceful he looked and how beautiful he was. And she couldn't stop the smile that overtook her lips.

"I'm glad."
