Three years later
Blaz POV: Age - 19
I wake up happy as feeling my boyfriend's lips on the back of my neck I stretch and twist into a kiss with him.
-Morning.
Jesse-Good morning to you too.
We kiss a bit more before I move and lean on my side as I caress him.
-I really like waking up with you.
Jesse-I was scared at first. When we moved in together but now, I'm scared of going back to how it was.
-I was scared too. Still, we did it and now we're happy.
Jesse-You know something, I want to stay with you forever.
-Me too. I don't think I want to be without you anymore.
Jesse-And?
-And what?
Jesse-What if we marry?
I get off from him surprised but as his words sink in I find myself smiling happy from the idea.
Jesse-Blaz?
I laugh and kissing him deeply I smile as we cuddle with our bodies very tight together.
-Of course I'll marry you. You're the love of my life. We'll marry and eventually have one or two kids.
Jesse-Three or four.
-We're definitely going to need a new house.
Jesse-A bigger house.
-With space at least for two kids, right?
Jesse-Oh yeah. Hopefully more.
-How many kids you want?
Jesse-You tell me first.
-I prefer a small family. One or two kids is enough for me.
Jesse-A want many kids but I really can't have that many kids so I have to be realistic.
-What's your dream and what's the realistic number?
Jesse-I want to have all the kids in the world but I can live for four, three at least.
-I can handle three. Now we just have to wait and see how it turns out.
Jesse-For now, let's start preparing for the first step.
-The marriage.
He nods and giving him a passionate kiss we get up and ready to prepare our future together.
Mako POV: Age - 73
I sigh as I finish part of my work and leaning comfortably on my chair I can't help but think of Neil, my middle son and his daughter, my granddaughter, Arezo Mahin. I can't help but stand and start pacing around the office. I loose my suit a little bit as I lean to breathe on the window.
-Where are you Neil? Where?
I sigh again standing straight when I hear the door opening but I keep my face hidden.
Winry-Hi dad. How is your work progressing?
-Good.
Winry-I'm going to take some files on the Ohio serial killer case. On both aspects, serial killer and rape.
-You can take what you need.
Winry-Dad, are you alright?
-I'm fine.
I feel how she grabs my arm and I let her pull me to her.
Winry-Tell me what's wrong.
I take comfort in her presence and as I do I realize I have to tell her what she already knows to feel better myself.
-Is been four years. I miss him and it worries me, the way he dissapeared without a trace.
I let her go and I sit again on my seat on the desk.
Winry-I get it that you're worried but I'm also completely sure that they're alright and fine.
-I'm still worried.
Winry-Let's try this then.
-What?
Winry-Think deeply about this. Are you worried because you miss him or because deep inside you, your very essence tells you that they're in danger and you should be worried. Miss him or in danger?
I lean back and with a deep breath is surprisingly easy answering her hypothetical question.
-I miss him.
Winry-Let me try one of my contacts if he can find him. He's already on it but, who knows? Let me try to find him in my own way.
-I don't really know what else to do so alright, you can help me and as you say, who knows? Maybe you do find him.
Winry-Thank you. I'm better going back to work and let him know about it so we can find him.
She kisses my cheek and with a swift movement she grabs the papers she needs and goes to her own office leaving me alone to think and relax a bit before is time to go home.

Neil POV: Age - 42
I smile happy as when I got to go shopping for groceries that I'm getting the things on the cart I can see how my eldest daughter Arezo Mahin is teasing and toying with her year old baby sister. Yayra, the baby sister, reaches out laughing loudly.
Arezo-Who loves the baby sister? Who loves you? I love you. I love you a lot baby sister.
She makes nonsense speech to Yayra and they both laugh.
-Arezo. We're done shopping.
Arezo-So soon?
-We have everything we need. Unless you want something for yourself.
Arezo-I'm good. I want something else.
-Oh, what do you want?
Arezo-I.....
She keeps teasing with her sister and I save that in the back of my mind to ask later. I stretch and so we go pay to go home.
Arezo Mahin POV: Age - 15
I realize how we get home and something else that I identify when dad speaks.
Neil-Arezo, I think you got a visit.
-Tell me how it looks.
Neil-Is a guy and I'm not happy with that.
-I'll handle him. Ciao ciao Yayra.
I get down and I recognize who it is as he calls me out.
?-Arezo. Hi, how are you?
-Heriberto. Is been so long.
We laugh as we get into a hug where he lifts me slightly from the ground. I hold to him tightly, very tightly before I let go. If only I could kiss him right now.
-What are you doing here? I thought it was going to be later in the night.
Heri-I wanted to talk to your dad before our date.
-Dad?
I nod and stepping away I knock on the door window.
Neil-Is everything alright?
-He's here for you.
Neil-That hug says otherwise.
-Can we speak inside? You can be more comfortable inside.
Neil-Let's go.
With a movement we all go inside and once inside I grab my baby sister and I play with her slightly.
Neil-Arezo, Heriberto. Is there anything you want to tell me?
Heri-I thought you knew or suspected about us but that's not right. That's why I came. I just recently turned eighteen and I'm aware of the legal consequences that can bring us and me.
Neil-Eighteen and fifteen.
Even being blind I can still see the gears turning on my dad's head as he thinks the situation.
Heri-I would like to ask for your blessing to keep dating your eldest daughter Arezo Mahin. If you say no I'm willing to come back and ask her when she turns eighteen.
-That long?
Realizing I said that out loud I cover my mouth and sit back with my sister again. Dad still asks.
Neil-Do you love him?
I nod silently and I feel the weight of them as they both sit at each side of me. I can tell who is on each side but I keep focused on my baby sister until dad grabs her away.
Neil-You can keep dating. You got my blessing but you have to keep her safe.
Heri-I will. I'm going to keep her safe, always.
I smile and so I lean against him letting him hold me.
Neil-I'm cooking. Do you want to stay or go?
Heri-Arezo?
-We're going out.
Heri-And?
-Go get well dressed or wathever while I get ready and beautiful.
Heri-You are beautiful.
-I know but tonight I want to be more beautiful tonight. Go on, go.
I hear him laugh and as we're at the door and at the top of the stairs I stop and look down the stairs.
-Hey.
Heri-Yes?
-I love you.
Heri-I love you too. My moon eyes.
Feeling myself blushing I keep going to my room hearing how the door closes silencing his laughter.

Neil POV: Age - 42
I smile bittersweetly as I cook while watching over my baby daughter but thinking of my eldest daughter. How did I not realize that she had a boyfriend sooner. Why didn't I?
-Arezo, come down here.
She arrives quickly and I chuckle low when she kisses my cheek from behind.
Arezo-I think I know what I have to say to you.
-Then say it.
Arezo-He was the first friend I got when we moved here. I'm not sure how or when but after a while until now we've been dating for a year now. He treats me good, courteous, a gentleman, he's my perfect guy. Hmm, does that cover all of your questions?
-All but two.
Arezo-Yeah.
-Have you been intimate with him? If you are I'll kill him.
Arezo-No! No dad. He, he's an old fashioned guy.
-Hmm, so then, why didn't you trust me enough to tell me you had a boyfriend or even since before, when you started having these feelings for him. Why didn't you trust me to guide you?
Arezo-I guess, I didn't felt like, I mean, I though you didn't believed in love and therefore you wouldn't be able to help me.
-Come here. I might not believe in love anymore but I once did and as sad as it is I got the experience and knowledge to guide you.
Arezo-You don't believe in love?
-Not anymore and not for myself but for you, you can love and you are already loved. Heriberto, I can tell he loves you sincerely.
Arezo-I really like him.
-I know.
Arezo-Can you help me choose an outfit.
-For tonight's date? Sure.
She laughs in joy and I laugh as she rushes back to her room upstairs. I save everything safely before I go upstairs to help her. She hears me come in and so she asks.
Arezo-Wich do you recommend?
-Let's see. My recommendation, as always, would be blue. It suits you but today we can make it more special.
Arezo-Still blue?
-Yes. This is good. Blue is beautiful. Is white and blue. Here, see this.
I hand her the print copy for the dress and as she touches and sees it she smiles.
Arezo-This one is beautiful.
-That one is my suggestion.
Arezo-I love it. Thank you dad.
-You're welcome. I'm taking your sister again so you can change.
Arezo-Sure. Thank you dad, love you.
-Love you too baby girl and you're welcome.
I cup her cheek gently before I leave taking Yayra with me. I poke her face playfully and she laughs joyfully as we go.

A while later, after I eat dinner that I'm straddling Yayra to sleep in my arms after her dinner while watching a kids friendly show.
-Good night baby girl.
I change the tv to the news and as I do there's a knock on the door. I get there slowly, softly so I don't wake her and opening the door I sigh as I see who it is.
-Heriberto.
Heri-Just to pick her up for our date.
-Come on in. I'll let her know you're here.
As I feel how Yayra wakes again I let her playing and then watching her show before I close the space and go upstairs. I stop to look at Yayra before I keep going.
-Arezo, Arezo, oh.
Arezo-Hey dad, how do I look?
-Perfect. Marvelous. He's downstairs waiting.
Arezo-Just a moment. I'll be ready in a moment.
-I see you ready now.
Arezo-And I am. I just want to take a moment for myself.
-Alrighty then. We'll be waiting.
Arezo-Don't be too hard on him.
I nod as I leave again and as I get to the living room I find that Yayra is quite interested with Heriberto. He moves slightly and I take it as my pass to get in.
He stands to me quickly.
Heri-That baby scares me. She just keeps looking at me and I'm not sure what to do.
-She likes you.
Grabbing my daughter in my arms I laugh as she turns and reaches out for him.
-Do you want to carry her?
He hesitates but he stills comes to grab her and he looks at her curiously before he smiles and laughs with her.
Heri-She's so cute and adorable. Does she speak yet?
-Not yet but she might soon.
Heri-And walking?
-She starts trying but she hasn't gotten her first steps yet.
Heri-You don't mind if I ask your age, you don't have to tell me.
-42.
He looks at me shocked before he shrugs.
Heri-42.
-Yes.
Arezo-He's a young dad that looks younger of what he is.
She comes from behind him grabbing her sister from him. Yayra squirms unhappy and of course is forgotten once her sister giggles her to me with faces and baby talk.
Heri-You look alike.
Arezo-Yayra is as cute as me or I'm as baby as she is.
Heri-A bit of both? Maybe.
He shrugs and she laughs as she holds on to his arm tightly.
Arezo-Yayra.
-Yayra look there.
Arezo-Bye bye.
Yayra just looks between us confused before she settles on me.
Arezo-Did I ever made you looked that good when I was a baby?
-Of course you did.
Arezo-Well then, bye dad, see you later.
-Enjoy your date.
She waves bye at me as she leaves with her boyfriend and I almost instantly tense up with worry. Yayra is sleeping again and so leaving her on her crib I start trying to occupy myself with anything that makes me not worry.
