We had gone over to Megumi and Sano’s place as they invited us over to dinner. Izumi was outside with Sano and Aoshi while I helped Megumi with making a couple of salads.

"Misao I want to apologise." I looked over at Megumi who was still chopping away and hadn’t looked up. She was silent and I placed my hand over the one that was chopping up the tomato and she finally stopped. My eyes widen when she brushed a couple of tears away and I turned the taller woman towards me and hugged her tightly. She cried into my shoulder and I rubbed her back soothingly. I had no clue as to what was wrong with her, but hoped she would tell me soon. Minutes went by and Megumi calmed down and walked into the living room. I followed close behind and she sat down in a chair. I kneeled on the floor placing my hands over hers encouraging her to tell me what was wrong.

"You were right Misao…I was hurting Sano…" I gave her an encouraging smile and she continued.

"I told him everything about Aoshi and how I felt about him and he took off. He ran away from here, from me... I cried for two straight days that he had been gone. When he came back, Sano found me a complete and utter mess crying brokenly to myself. I looked worse for wear, not even going to work or answering the phone. I was terrible and heart broken that I actually did that to him. I made him run away from me. I felt as though my heart had been ripped out at all the pain that I had caused him. Sano's chocolate brown eyes showed so much love for me and yet I couldn’t even tell him that I was lost without him. Sano is the one for me, just like you said and I never told him. You were right, no matter whom I had loved in the past he was it. Sano is mine forever and I wanted to tell him how much I loved him with all my heart and soul. I just couldn’t do it…I guess I was afraid."

"Why Meg?" We both gasped and turned our heads to see Sano standing at the glass door leading out to the backyard. Megumi and I both stood up and I watched as Sano made his way over hugging Megumi desperately to him and she sobbed into his chest, her arms snaking around his neck to hold him close. I walked out into the backyard hoping they would sort everything out.

* * * *

I sat in the swing that hung from the tree smiling happily knowing everything would work out in the end and found Aoshi walking over with a curious look on his face. I turned my face upward to look at him and my smile widened. He too had a small smile on his face, as he knew exactly what I was thinking without me even voicing it. He bent down kissing me slowly and passionately and we stopped when we heard a happy squeal come from Izumi. She was running around trying to catch the 20 butterflies that happen to roam into the small garden.

* * * *

The day was perfect and had come to an end as I tucked Izumi into her bed and she went off into her dreams whispering "mummy" and "daddy" as she always did. Megumi had squealed with delight at hearing I was pregnant and Sano went nuts smacking Aoshi across the back like a thousand times. An evil glare on Aoshi’s part stopped Sano from doing anymore congratulations.

I walked into our room and found Aoshi only dressed in some shorts and lying exhausted on his stomach. He had been running around all day playing with Izumi as well as training and studying. He was very energetic and strong but he would come to his senses and let his body rest. I brushed my fingers up his spine looking down at him and his heavy eyelids fluttered open to glance up at me. He gave me a cute lob-sided smile and closed his eyes again sighing loudly but contently. I lay beside him and even though he was fast asleep he still consciously held me close as though making sure I was protected from everything. I stayed awake staring into that peaceful face he usually got when he dreamed. He seemed so young at the moment but I watched curiously as his mouth curved into a lecherous smile and he mumbled my name while pulling me a little closer to him. I bent down pressing my lips softly against his and heard his slight mumble against my lips.

"Misao…go sleep…" I giggled a little as he sounded like a small child and I complied with his wishes wrapping an arm around him holding him close and fell into a blissful sleep full of dreams about our family.

* * * *

Months flew by as I was on my way to see the doctor. I was in my sixth month of pregnancy and it was getting harder to walk everyday. Some days I would cry doing the whole "I can’t believe you did this to me" or "I’m so fat and ugly" routine. My breasts were bigger then usual and I really hated that. My body ached when I’d come home from studying but then I had Aoshi who took care of me. It was a bit sad as I would take the bus and then walk the rest of the way to the hospital by myself.

Everytime I had an appointment it seemed as though Aoshi had tests or miniature/trial exams. I could tell he desperately wanted to come all the time but I would not let him. He needed to study hard and I was truly fine going on my own. I wasn’t really on my own because when I got to the hospital I had Megumi waiting for me with a big smile on her face.

I finally arrived and was ushered into the ultrasound room. I declined everytime the doctor had asked me to have one because I was scared that something might happen, but Megumi coaxed me into experiencing one telling me everything would be perfect. Its like she said, 'it was time for me to see mine and Aoshi’s miracle'. I sat back on the bench and lifted up Aoshi's baggy shirt. Cold gel stuff was placed on my belly and I watched amazed as I could finally see and hear our child. Tears spilled from my widened eyes as I could hear two heartbeats and not one. Megumi held my hand while I cried happily. I was having twins.

"Ms Makimachi? Would you like to know the sex of your babies?" I froze at what she had said and couldn’t say anything. I bowed my head not knowing what to do. The gel was wiped away and they had left the room as I sat looking at the piece of paper I had in my hands. I shakily opened it up and smiled at what was written inside. I got off the bed taking the recorded tape and walked outside hugging Megumi excitedly and thanked the doctor. I said my good-byes to Megumi as she was still working and I hummed a happy tune. I stopped walking when I was stuck at what I was supposed to say to Aoshi.

* * * *

I arrived home to see Aoshi coming out of Izumi’s room. She would either be playing or having an afternoon nap. His hair was wet and droplets of water fell down his bare chest. He was in a pair of loose black pants and nothing else. I took a deep breath and walked over kissing him passionately. He was a little taken back but returned my kisses with his own. He pressed me close to his body but I stopped and grabbed his hand leading him to the chair. I sat on the coffee table but watched as Aoshi kneeled on the floor between my legs, hugging me around the waist and pressing his ear against my stomach.

"How are my loved ones going?" I froze thinking he must know but then realised as his hands stroked my back softly that he was talking about our child and me.

"We are good…and healthy." I spoke softly while placing a kiss into his dark hair and laying my head against his. I raised my head as he lifted his up to look at me. His eyes glittered tearfully and I was in a state of shock as to why. His lips pressed lightly against mine and he whispered passionately against my lips.

"I love you my Misao." Tears fell down my cheeks but I gasped as Aoshi's kisses turned heated and I moaned louder as he pushed my lower body against his more firmly. I pulled away and spoke breathlessly to him.

"Wait, I need to show you something." I got off the table and stood up grabbing my bag, which I had placed on the floor. I brought out the tape and watched Aoshi’s eyes widen. I placed the tape in his hands as he was still sitting on the floor and I frowned as he had a sad expression etched all over his face. I kneeled in front of him and observed as his finger ran over the name on the tape: "Misao Makimachi – October 2000" I knew exactly what this was about. He wanted me to be a Shinomori and when our babies where born he wanted them to be Shinomori as well. I cupped his face in my hands and spoke softly while never taking my eyes away from his.

"Aoshi if I asked you to marry me tomorrow, would you?" I watched his eyes widen in shock, as I knew what he was thinking but he nodded his head.

"Give me two weeks to sort some things out and we’ll do it." I spoke again. He kissed my lips quickly but passionately and got up to watch the tape.

"WAIT!" I spoke loudly to get his attention. He turned around rather confused but waited for me to continue.

"On the tape, it won’t be what you expected…" I spoke and then waved for him to place it in and press play. He sat leaning against the coffee table but I made him lean forward as I sat on it and made him sit in between my legs. He watched fascinated and paused the tape in utter shock when he noticed two small bodies and not one. I smiled as he turned around his mouth gaping open as he stared up at me with wide eyes. I began to giggle a little, as he looked quite funny. My own eyes widened a little when he kneeled up on his knees bringing his lips hungrily to mine. He sucked and nibbled on my now swollen ones as his hands roamed up and down my back sending small shivers down my spine. I felt my body being lifted up slightly off the coffee table as one of Aoshi’s hands trailed my skirt down my legs so it fell silently to the carpet. His mouth moved away from mine going down to nibble at my neck. My hands fisted on his shoulders when he sucked harder on my pulse point and pressed me closer to him telling me what he wanted. He was very much excited just as I was. His hands trailed down the front of me undoing the buttons on the shirt. It too was pulled away from me and lay on the coffee table. My breathing had become shallow as he roamed his hands over my body. A louder moan escaped my lips as I placed my hands on the coffee table and arched into his mouth that kissed and caressed my breasts as he unclasped my bra letting it fall to the floor. One hand was slightly massaging the other while his other hand massaged my heated sex through my underwear. I withered as he increased the sensations and gasped and moaned louder and louder. Misao NO! What about Izumi? The voice inside of me spoke and yet I did nothing but move my hips against his fingers. I opened my eyes when he stopped his movements and stood up. I tried pouting cutely at him and it seemed to work as he bent down kissing and caressing me once more making my body feel aroused even more! Aoshi stopped again as he picked up my clothes and then myself taking me to the privacy of our room.

* * * *

Aoshi was leaning on his side, eyes closed while cradling my head against his left shoulder and chest region. I was lying on my back and occasionally murmured a little at the soft caresses that Aoshi was giving me on my stomach.

"Aoshi?" I spoke quietly getting his attention.

"Hmmm?" I looked up realising his eyes were still closed but they would open when I spoke again.

"Do you want to know what they are?" His caressing had stopped and he turned over lying on his stomach looking at me intently.

"You know?" I nodded my head and he nodded his wanting to find out.

"A boy and a girl." My eyes watered as Aoshi gave me the brightest smile ever as it showed on his entire face. He kissed my lips softly and then cradled me in his arms speaking softly into my ear.

"Rest Misao Shinomori." I smiled against his chest and spoke back tiredly.

"Mmmmmmm Misao Shinomori…I love that…"

* * * *

Morning had come and I was standing in the bathroom getting ready to have a shower but placed my hand on my stomach when I felt a tiny kick. I smiled happily and ran out of the bathroom.

"Aoshi! Aoshi come quick!" I spoke excitedly while running back into the room. I stood at the door as Aoshi was sitting on the end of the bed looking sleep deprived. He raked his hand through his already messy hair and was about to stand up but I placed my hands on his shoulders stopping him. He looked up confused at me but I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach so he could feel the kicking as well. My eyes teared up as he sat in wonderment at what he was feeling. He placed his cheek and ear against my stomach wanting to be closer.

"Mummy? Daddy? What the yelling for?" I glanced over my shoulder to see Izumi walking in wearing her purple pyjamas. Aoshi lifted her up and placed her in his lap facing my large belly. I watched as Aoshi picked up her small hands placing them on my stomach as well as leaving his over the top of hers. I watched as her eyes lit up in excitement just like Aoshi’s had and her mouth parted as she giggled happily. Unshed tears glistened my eyes once more when Izumi leaned forward placing a kiss on my belly as well and spoke to it.

"When are you coming out? I wanna play with you and hug you and share mummy and daddy with you!" She giggled happily once more and brushed her small hands over my entire stomach as Aoshi had taken his away just watching her silently like myself.

"Mummy you lied…" My eyes widened and I stuttered out a question of my own.

"W-what do y-you mean Izumi?"

"You said it was gunna be a beach ball but it looks like a basketball instead." And with that said she giggled some more and Aoshi chuckled as well. I smiled down at them and watched as Izumi grabbed Aoshi’s hand placing it back on my belly.

"Look daddy it’s happening again." They both had the same intense and fascinated gaze as they both stared at my stomach feeling the little ones kick inside. An amused smirk crossed my features as the two sitting in front of my frowned sadly as the kicking had stopped and didn’t return.

"Hey, it’ll happen again some day and when it does I’ll get both of you even if you are sleeping okay?" I watched happily as both pairs of eyes brightened and Izumi spoke standing up looking demandingly into my eyes.

"Promise?"

"I promise… Now come on, we must get you dressed. We have a big day ahead of us." I walked out the room taking Izumi with me.

* * * *

I walked back into our bedroom and squealed lightly as Aoshi picked me up taking me to the bathroom while absently talking to Izumi on the way.

"Izumi be a good girl. Daddy’s gotta give mummy a bath since she’s to big to do it herself okay?" I frowned slightly at that and heard Izumi’s voice as she flipped on some cartoons.

"Okay daddy."

* * * *

I sat lying in the bath with my back against Aoshi’s chest as he gingerly poured some of the water over my exposed skin and massaged my shoulders. Doubt seeped through me and I spoke to Aoshi in a small voice.

"Am I really that fat?" I felt his hands stop caressing my shoulders and he wrapped them around me instead and spoke softly into my ear.

"No you’re pregnant, which is a big difference. Besides I had to say something to her so she wouldn’t come join us. I made sure it was today as her favourite cartoons are on. I just wanted it to be you and me." I shuddered as he grazed his teeth against my neck and shoulder but he stopped. I felt his hands lean me forward slightly and he began giving me a shoulder and back massage.

"Mmmmmmmmm feels good…" I spoke softly lulling my head forward.

"I promise I’ll bath you everytime you are exhausted and feel like having one okay Misao? Morning or night it doesn't matter." Aoshi spoke into my ear. He kneaded my lower back and I mumbled out my answer.

"Mmmmmm can’t pass that up." I felt the bath ripple as Aoshi got out and I opened my eyes and placed my hands on the side of the bath ready to get at as well but was stopped. Aoshi’s finger prompted me too close my eyes once more and he bathed me head to toe not leaving anything unwashed. I whimpered a little as his small ministrations stopped and he lifted me out of the water placing me on my feet. I still had my eyes closed as Aoshi grabbed the towel wiping me dry and wrapped it snugly around my body and led me out of the bathroom. I opened my eyes to see Izumi watching Astro Boy intently. I was guided back to the room were I was dressed in some comfortable under garments and lifted up my hands as Aoshi placed a dress over me. He stepped forward wrapping his arms loosely around me to do up the zip at the back. I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck placing my lips close to his and spoke passionately to him before caressing his lips softly against mine.

"I love you so much." He groaned into the kiss and tightened the embrace a bit but we stopped and Aoshi turned me around brushing my hair. He grabbed a sash and placed my hair in a low ponytail and did it in one simple bow. I stepped into my flat shoes grabbed my sling bag and walked out into the main room feeling refreshed and more awake then ever in my life. I truly am blessed to have him, I spoke to myself. I grabbed Izumi’s hand waving goodbye to Aoshi, as he was unable to come with us to the markets as he had studying to do. I didn’t have classes today and was damn thankful.

* * * *

My hands shock nervously as the two weeks passed and today I was to be married. I had another appointment with the doctor last week that said our children were healthy and this time Aoshi was able to come. He may not have acted like it in front of the doctor but inside he was like an excited child waiting to open his present. I guess these two were our presents though. The doctor had laughed that day when she asked us what their names were going to be. We were at a total loss and hadn’t even thought of any yet, but now wasn’t the time to think about that.

Last week I had rung Aoshi’s parents hoping that Mr Shinomori picked up and luck was on my side when he did. I told him everything and he said he would come and drag Shiris with him. I sent my parents a letter telling them the brief news as they seemed to never be at home and 'unable' to come to the phone at work. I wrote them the date, time and the place if they wanted to make an effort and come. I phoned Tosh and squealed excitedly when he told me Miriam was expecting a baby and teased him about being so fast with having kids. He did the usual coughing scene but I let it pass as my brother was going to lead me down the aisle with great pride. They’d be on their way over as fast as possible. I had pumped into Kenshin and Kaoru walking arm in arm down the street and smiled happily for them. They both were rather shocked at the way I was but told me I was positively glowing. They were unable to come, as they were leaving to go on a small trip together, just a weekend thing. It was to be a small wedding one that was inexpensive but beautiful.

I stood standing in front of the mirror looking at what I was wearing. I was wearing a long cream silk dress with a blue underdress. The sleeves wear long so that the blue stuck out further then the cream. This also occurred around the neck area and at my ankles as well. There were also two splits on each side of my legs going up to my knees. I wore cream slip on shoes not wanting to be in high heels. The blue colour matched my eyes perfectly making them shine brightly. Megumi was getting ready in the bathroom and would be wearing a dress the same colour as the blue of my under dress and made of complete silk. I had asked her to be my bridesmaid and she happily accepted with unshed tears glistening in her eyes. It was long with a split up the right leg just above the knee and had spaghetti straps. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door open.

"What do you think?" I looked over at Megumi and found her doing a slight pose against the door, the dress parting at the knee. I smiled as it fit her perfectly showing off her curves.

"I’d watch out if I were you…Sano’s going to go nuts." I spoke while moving away from the mirror. I frowned when I saw Megumi’s eyes tear up and I raced over bringing her into the room and closing the door. I led her to sit on the bed and she tried unsuccessfully to bite back the tears but they fell down her face destroying her make up.

"Meg what’s wrong?" I spoke worriedly sitting in the chair in front of her taking her shaking hands into mine forgetting all about my nerves.

"Oh Misao it’s Sano and me…" She spoke breaking off to wipe her tears away from her face. I watched worriedly as she pressed her hand to my bulging stomach and then looked into my eyes and pointed to herself. A wide smile covered my entire face and I hugged her excitedly.

"Oh Meg that’s wonderful! Oh wait till I tell Aoshi. Maybe Sano’s telling him already!" I spoke excitedly to her.

"NOOOOOOOO!" I jerked back a little at Meg’s abrupt voice and she shock her head. Sano doesn’t know, I concluded in my head.

"Oh Meg you gotta tell him. I could just see a little Sano running around couldn’t you? Please Meg for me, you must tell him. I know it will be hard but he’ll be there for you I know it."

"R-Really?" Megumi’s voice was uncertain and I hugged her and spoke softly into her ear. She nodded in kind and I got up as did she and we looked into the mirror together. We laughed a little at Meg’s make-up but soon fixed it up. There was a small knock at the door and Megumi opened it up to reveal Izumi in her purple and black dress with the matching hat. She was absolutely gorgeous.

"Oh mummy, Aunt Meg you two look so pretty." We all laughed happily together and I grabbed our flowers and we walked out of the room and then out of the building. We were on our way walking to the park I had chosen for the ceremony. I had gotten permission to use a small section of the park near the lake.

I wore my hair down as it fell in soft wavy curls and lighter pieces blew around in the afternoon breeze. Izumi was my little flower girl and she had purple petals to throw around when walking down the grassy path. She was skipping ahead as I held her small basket of flowers and Megumi spoke turning her eyes to look at me.

"Nervous Misao?" I looked into Megumi’s face and spoke honestly to her.

"Terrified." She placed her hand on my shoulder giving it a small squeeze and we walked the rest of the way in silence. People turned to stare at us knowing we were attending a wedding. I received congratulations from elderly couples who walked by and smiled my thanks at them. We walked through the large trees making sure no one could see us and found the faint music as Izumi came out of hiding first walking down the grassy path which had been created as chairs where placed on either side for our small amount of quests. I received a hug from Megumi and she spoke softly to me.

"I’ll see you out there." I nodded my head and peeked around the large tree to have a look and found Izumi tipping the left over flowers over her head and stood to the side waiting for Megumi to arrive. I took a deep breath and walked out into the clearing. Tosh was waiting for me as I asked him to walk me down the aisle. As I expected my parents never came. I smiled at him as he kissed my cheek and we began the slow walk to Aoshi and the priest. My smile widened even more when Aoshi turned around to face me. His hair was ruffled and I could clearly see the happiness in those blue-green eyes, as they never left mine. He was wearing a black suit but his shirt was the same blue as Megumi’s dress and my under one. I arrived standing face to face with Aoshi, giving my flowers to Izumi and I grabbed his hands and he chuckled lightly as they shock from being so nervous. The priest cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention and spoke up.

"Dearly beloved…"

* * * *

The wedding was quick and simple and in a matter of minutes tables and chairs where brought into the area as well as food and a separate table for Aoshi, Sano, Megumi and myself and one for the small cake. The area was lit up with kerosene lanterns placed everywhere. Candles flickered on the table some occasionally going out from the wind but were always lit back up seconds later. Sano had brought his huge stereo equipment and we were lucky that it could be run on batteries. Some of the mothers from the park came to the wedding wishing us happiness and all the best for years to come.

I was profusely hugged by Sano, Megumi, Tosh and Miriam many times as they congratulated me over and over again. I laughed happily sitting down at the table Tosh and Miriam where at and knew Aoshi was watching me silently. He was over with his brother and sister. They hugged me happily and were completely ecstatic about how happy I have made their older brother. I finally met his Aunt and Uncle who were really sweet and both spoke with excitement about Aoshi being a father again. They told me some stories about Izumi when she was a baby and how Aoshi would freak out everytime she cried. I laughed and gazed over at him waving silently to him. He smiled and waved back but was stuck in some deep conversation with his brother.

"May I have this dance daughter?" I jerked my head up looking at Mr Shinomori as he had his hand out to me bowing slightly. I lightly blushed at being called daughter but accepted his hand and we walked onto the small "dance floor" area, which was just a grassy section near the stereo. We slowly danced around and Mr Shinomori spoke once more.

"How are you feeling daughter?" I faulted in my footsteps at hearing that once again.

"Do you not wish for me to say you are my daughter Misao?" I looked up into his eyes, which were older but still were like Aoshi’s. I shook my head and replied honestly back.

"It just sounds weird that’s all. My real father never called me that, actually he really didn’t acknowledge me at all. I-I would love for you to call me daughter…" I spoke shyly up at him and he smiled while kissing my forehead and spoke once more.

"As long as you call me…"

"Dad, be quiet and dance." I spoke cutting him off and smiling brightly up at him. He laughed and we moved slowly around once again.

"May I cut in?" We stopped to see Aoshi standing near us. He had taken the coat off and the tie as well and untucked the shirt and stood there holding a red rose in his hand. My new dad kissed me on the cheek and he walked off to sit down with the others to watch. I stood in the lightly lit area looking at my husband as he walked closer towards me holding the single red rose in front of him. I brought my fingers out to take it but he pulled it away placing it against his chest. I smiled as he pointed at me and wanted me to come closer. I complied with his wishes and watched as he kissed the rose and placed it in my hand and held me close to his chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist holding him close while keeping a death grip on the rose listening to the beating of his heart. I smiled against his chest and opened my eyes to see Megumi walking over to Sano with a determined expression on her face. I gasped and Aoshi moved slightly away to see if I was all right and I whispered into his ear what was about to happen and we stopped and watched them.

Sano was sitting down on one of the chairs and Megumi walked over and lifted up the dress so it wouldn’t get any grass stains and kneeled on her bare knees speaking to him softly. Aoshi and I chuckled away when Sano fell out of the chair at what Meg had spoken. He got on his knees to look into her eyes making sure what she said was true. I watched as Megumi nodded her head and Sano wrapped her up in a powerful hug and kissed her with so much passion that when they stopped Megumi got up turning around and blushed profusely. I clapped my hands for Sano and Megumi and everyone else joined in as well. Aoshi walked over to congratulate Sano and hug Megumi. She ran over to me thanking me happily at knocking some sense into her and Aoshi’s sister walked over as well. I was distracted from the conversation as Izumi was patting my leg wanting my attention.

"Mummy can I dance with you? Please?" I nodded my head picking her up and walked into the unoccupied area and moved slowly to the music.

"I love you mummy." I smiled tearfully at her and hugged Izumi to my chest and she wrapped her arms around my neck lying her head on my shoulder. I replied in kind making sure she was nice and snug in my embrace.

"I love you too my daughter." I closed my eyes shuffling around in a circle sending Izumi off to sleep. I felt a pair of arms embrace me and I opened my eyes and found Aoshi’s intense ones looking down at me.

"My mother wants to speak to you." I bit my lip but placed Izumi into Aoshi’s arms and walked over to were she was sitting.

"Mrs Shinomori you wanted to see me?" I spoke nicely to her. She pulled out a chair and I sat in it placing my hands over my stomach.

"I am still not used to the idea of this but looking at my son I see he is rather happy with you. I guess I’ll have to come around to the idea that my son wants to be with someone like you." I nodded my head silently and got up walking away going back over to Aoshi realising that to be the only thing she was going to say to me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he placed his left arm around my shoulders as a sleeping Izumi occupied his right.

"That was fast Misao." I nodded my head and spoke quietly into his chest.

"She still hates me but I won’t let her ruin anything. I have my friends, my brother and a new dad, but most of all I have you, Izumi and the little ones and that’s all that matters to me." I felt Aoshi tilt my head up and he pressed his lips softly against mine kissing them possessively and wouldn’t stop until we both gasped for air. I placed a hand on his cheek and spoke softly up at him.

"My husband..." I knew my cheeks burned red at this but I watched as Aoshi’s eyes darkened in colour and then returned too normal. I felt the heat from my cheek’s fade until Aoshi spoke huskily into my ear and kissed me once more bringing back my blush.

"My wife…" He thrust his tongue into my mouth quickly and took it out before I could respond and walked off chuckling away a little. I creased my eyes and vowed I would get him back for that one day.
