Chapter 6: Bundles of Joy

Kagura's pregnancy had gone very well. She finally gave birth to three healthy children: two girls named Hitomi and Hinako and baby boy, Makoto. Even with 5 children already running ramped through the house, Kagura and Chin-Han still wanted more, so they adopted a little boy named Yuta. 6 children were definitely a handful, so Kagura quit her job to be a stay-at-home mother. Chin-Han reached retirement and stayed home with the kids as well. Kagura and Chin-Han believed that school was important and that the children should understand the importance as well. Kagura decided to read beside the children as they tried to complete their homework. This encouraged Yuta, Azula, and Asami to do well in school. As expected, they were all on honor roll and received high achievements in elementary school.
Even with Yuta, Azula, and Asami going off to school everyday, the parents found it very hard to manage their time with the triplets always crying. Immediately Chin-Han shamelessly called for a babysitter. The babysitter came by almost everyday and soon became the nanny. Time flew by and Azula, Asami, and Yuta were all teenagers while their younger siblings Hitomi, Hinako, and Makoto grew into young children. The nanny was no longer needed and Chin-Han was happy to no longer pay for her mediocre services. With all of the children old enough to attend school, Kagura and Chin-Han finally had some time to themselves. They worked together trying to finish errands and chores around the house. Kagura went out to town to collect revenue from the town and Chin-Han stayed home to water the garden. Even with so much time on their hands to complete many of the things they couldn't do before, Kagura and Chin-Han were still very stressed. The two decided they deserved a two day vacation away from the kids and the house, so they packed their bags and left for a romantic getaway. While their parents were away, the teens threw themselves a wild party. Asami called their cousins and their friends to have the party of a lifetime. With prom right around the corner, Yuta thought it was a good time to get to know Magdalena Lawson better. The two spent much of the night together alone, ignoring the rest of the party. After some time, Yuta worked up the nerve to ask Magdalena to the prom. She immediately said yes and the two began to coordinate their night. With all of their plans for prom completed, Yuta gave Magdalena flowers and invited her to the family garden to watch the stars

together. Even when all the other guests had gone home, Magdalena stayed behind for a few hours longer to spend more time with Yuta. Unfortunately, their romantic night had to come to an end since Kagura and Chin-Han were on the way home from their vacation. Seeing their house in shambles, Yuta and Azula were instantly grounded. Asami barely escaped the wrath of her parents since she was clever enough to avoid their path. Yuta and Azula were stuck doing chores around the house to make up for their mistakes. With prom only a few days away, the two tried their very best to get on Kagura's and Chin-Han's good side. When prom was only one day away, Yuta and Azula resorted to begging for forgiveness. Feeling that they had learned their lesson, Kagura and Chin-Han lifted their punishments. Prom night arrived and all three teens were ready to go. Yuta was all dressed up in his tuxedo and Azula and Asami decided to wear the same dress with different colors. The limo arrived and they were off to have a grand time. Azula knocked down the backdrop while chasing down her crush for a dance. Despite her clumsiness, Azula was crowned prom queen. Yuta and his date, Magdalena, were enjoying their slow dance when they kissed for the first time. Having mutual feelings for one another, the two love birds chose to make it official. Yuta had his first girlfriend and was in love for the first time, but in the midst of bliss, Yuta's name was called to receive his crown as prom king. He was very surprised but was very happy to be the prom king with his sister as prom queen. As her siblings were basking in the glow of popularity, Asami was off flirting with one of her classmates, Kathryn Dietz. Asami and Kathryn were virtually stuck together the entire night. Something began to spark between the two and they became romantic interests. Prom night was over and it was time to return home. The three all had an amazing night to remember and especially Yuta loved his prom picture. He proudly placed the picture on his dresser. Time went on and the parents were

stressed again. Feeling that their children had learned their lesson before, Kagura and Chin-Han felt it was safe for them to take another two day vacation. Knowing better, the teens helped around the house by looking after the garden and their younger siblings. Hitomi, Hinako, and Makoto were very obedient and always completed their homework. Having lots of free time, the children spent much time in the new treehouse in the backyard. It was apparent though that some of

the children were having too much fun. Hitomi called Asami over to the treehouse only to dump a bucket of water on her sister's head when she arrived. Naturally, Asami was not too happy about that. Despite the children's mischief, the teens still enjoyed their parent-free home. Yuta went out on a date with Magdalena and Asami invited over Kathryn to spend more time with her. Both couples let their love blossom and it was only a matter of time before their significant others had to meet the parents.
