You'd made many mistakes in your life. Sure, you slept around a lot. Who cares? Plenty of people did it. But when one of your flings somehow got pregnant, you realised just how deep you were in.

The girl - you couldn't even remember her name - usually had the kids on weekdays, while you had them on the weekends. But you were doing her a favour and having them all week - just while she had a vacation.

Sonoko and Makito - the kids - were currently getting dressed for daycare, Sonoko wearing a beautiful frilly blue dress, and Makito wearing little Khaki shorts and a red t-shirt.
