"Babe, are we taking Nao with us?" I looked down at our son who was happily jumping around me and Gojo. This was going to be his first time in any jujutsu event, hence why he's unable to settle down.

"Yes. Who else is going to watch our son? Not your parents. My parents are always flying around the world because they're old and retired!" He slid his blindfold on as it pushed up his hair. He looked like a walking broomstick if the bristles were white instead of a sandy brown color.

"You're right. At least he'll get to watch his seniors fight." We both stared at Naozumi who ran outside our room to Yuji's side. He was excitedly talking about seeing Yuji fight on screen.

Gojo's strong arms wrapped around my body as he pulled me close to him. His chin rested on my shoulder. "Our little boy is growing up so fast. It was just yesterday where he was just a tiny baby." Hearing that made my heart hurt. I couldn't believe that five years has actually passed. In ten years from now, he'll be 15 and we'll be 38. I've never felt so old thinking about the future.

"I know babe... He's growing up too fast. Maybe we should go to the doctor so I can take some medicine to increase my hormones and produce more eggs." I half joked about it. Having another child wouldn't be bad since I'm still young, but was the timing bad? The major events from last year to this year tells me that we're not going to end on a good note.

"You really want to?!" Gojo spun me around, pulling his blindfold up to his hair as his eyes widened from my sudden news. His blue eyes shined like glistening water by the bright sun on the ocean.

Patting his cheek, I said to him, "You're that eager to become a dad again?" He nodded rapidly, and I sighed giving him the disappointing news. "Let's wait until the new year comes because you already know the air is shifting, so it's not going to be easy to protect a pregnant Ena and Naozumi."

"Of course, baby. Next year sounds great." Gojo leaned forward and pecked a quick kiss on my lips.

"Eww! Can't you kiss when I'm not around?" Naozumi cried in disgust, and we turned our direction to him. His face was contorted as if it'll burn in his memory until the day he died.

"Nope! I'm showing mommy how much I love herrrr!" Instantly, Gojo gripped me firmly, letting me know I'm in for a long run.

My heart fastened from this sudden change. "Satoru, control yourself—" my cries were drowned out by his rapid kisses all over my face.

"Grosssss!" His little feet ran off to another part of the house.

Then Gojo pulled away, shooting his head out to the hallway. "Nao, you'll do the same when you find the love of your life!!"

I mentally sighed, yanking my man away from traumatizing our little boy. "Stop ruining his innocence! What's next? The talk about the bees and birds?" My hand slapped his shoulder, and he winced in pain.

"Ouch!" I didn't even hit him hard, and I never hit him hard either. They're usually light hits. "So hard, mommy." He said in a high pitched voice which brought shivers down my spine.

"I—" My head couldn't comprehend what he just said. I didn't even know he had a mommy kink. I needed to leave now. "I'll see you later..." I awkwardly exited the room, wishing I had run off with Naozumi.

At the goodwill event, Naozumi and I walked up the stone stairs where everyone else was waiting. "Snowbear, don't let anyone know that Yuji is alive. He's going to surprise everyone!" I whispered to him and Naozumi nodded.

"Yeah I know. Yuji told me." My son was a good listener and a good boy too. He's well disciplined for his age. Naozumi doesn't whine or cry a lot; he's very observant and he listens. Sometimes he does retort if it's necessary. We don't scold him much.

"Look we're almost at the top! We're going to see daddy's students and coworkers!" That's when Naozumi stuck onto me like glue. He gripped the back of my shirt and followed me up to the top where we met everyone.

"Ena-sensei!" Gojo's students greeted as they bowed.

"Hi, kids!" I smiled, patting Naozumi's head so that he doesn't have to be shy. I didn't think he'd be this scared of strangers. "Nao, it's okay. They're not going to hurt you. Look, it's big brother!" I pointed to Megumi, and he peaked out to see his big brother gesturing for him to come over. "Brother Megumi wants you! I'll be standing by the adults if you need me."

Naozumi hesitantly ran over to Megumi.

"Wow, that's Gojo's son in the flesh. It looks just like him." Maki watched Naozumi from afar.

I forgot that the second years never saw our son in person. I'm pretty sure Gojo bragged about it to them. This is their first time, but they should be happy that he's more like me than his dad. If Naozumi was a clone of his dad... I don't know how I'll survive in the house.

"Ena, where's your idiot husband?" Utahime sighed in exasperation. Just like her, I've dealt with Gojo's shenanigans. I faced this more than she ever will.

"He's coming soon... You know him, he loves to show up fashionably late, and he loves the spotlight to be on him."

"I see that your son has grown." Utahime commented, gazing at my little boy. "That idiot won't stop boasting about his fatherhood to me..." She quickly rubbed her temples, recalling many times her poor head had to deal with Gojo. "Like I keep telling him that I don't care but he doesn't listen."

"I apologize for his vexing behavior. I can't control that man either. Nonetheless, I doubt anyone can control him... Perhaps our son can but I won't know until we actually use him." Gojo was a handful. He's a man with a lot on his plate. Sometimes I question how I came to be with him. We were polar opposite... I guess they say opposite attracts.

"Makes me wonder if he's going to be a Gojo 2.0," Utahime snickered, but wouldn't that be worse for her if it did come true? She'll be having two Gojos popping her blood vessels.

I patted her back, "Oh, I'll let you know if that happens!"

Dun dun dun!

A trolly was being rolled over on the concrete ground. "Well that's my cue to head inside first." I called Naozumi over, and we made our way inside the camera room. We didn't need to see Gojo making a big fuss and giving people a heart attack because of Yuji's sudden revival. I don't wanna get clumped with him.

Making our way to the room, me and Naozumi were talking. "Are you excited?! Because I'm excited!" I gleamed at my little boy with my eyes smiling. This was going to be our first time at a jujutsu event. I'm not really involved unless I have to by the higher ups. Other than that, I have a mother's life. I barely even help Gojo out during his class when I'm employed by the school.

"Yes I am, mommy! I'll get to see everyone fight spirits! I want to be like them someday."

Naozumi was going to be like them anyways. He has a bright future ahead of him, and he's going to train very hard to be better than his dad and mom. "You will, Nao— Ack!" I choked from a sharp pain in my heart as I stopped moving. My body curled forward, clutching the fabric of my shirt. It felt like a muscle cramp but located at my heart instead. My whole body began to tremble from the increasing pain growing in size. It was rippling in me as cold sweat formed at the back of my neck. My head was filled with suppressing the pain because my little baby was watching me go through this. "Mmm...!" I bit my tongue to hold in my cry of help. I didn't want to worry anyone when this event was important for the students. The weight of my body couldn't hold me up anywhere that my knees buckled, and I slowly began falling forward but my little boy caught me.

"Mommy!" Naozumi yelped, holding me in his tiny arms. He frantically looked around for help, but it was only just us in the hallway.

"Shhh...!" I strainedly said, wrapping him in my arms now. I'll hold him to assure him that I'll be okay even if I'm hurting too much. I can't have him crying for me. I don't want his tears over my small pain. "Baby, I will... be okay! Just hug mommy and it will go away...!" My fingers ran through his soft white hair as I bit my lips, holding back all the throbbing sensation roaming in my heart. It was having its own civil war as it was fighting each other than helping each other out. I don't understand why I suddenly felt like this, but I hope it'll go away.

After three minutes, the pain subsided and I finally let Naozumi go. I fell on my back, trying my best to recover from what just happened to me. My laborious breathing wouldn't calm down as my heart subtly returned back to normal. It was one excruciating pain which could send me into cardiac arrest. The quivering feeling lingered even after all was done. I twitched just a bit on the ground. All of this made me tired.

"Honey, why're you on the floor?"

My eyes widened from Gojo's voice and footsteps approaching me. Before I could make up a lie, Naozumi beat me to the chase and told him what happened. "Babe!" Gojo dropped to my side, scooping me up in his arms. "When did this start?!" His voice was filled with distress.

Lifting up the fabric which covered his beautiful eyes, I made him look at me. "Just today..." I said breathlessly, staring at his eyes and not breaking away. I'm tired from this level ten pain, but I know I'll manage to get myself together after resting.

His pink lips frowned, and he pushed me to his chest. "Ena, you look pale... Please, I want you to rest, and if this is Sukuna's doing... I'm going to handle this personally." Gojo whispered in vengeance, as if I'm dying—to which may be the case, but I don't want him to be careless about this.

I shut my eyes, feeling his warmth fill me up with security. As long as Gojo was with me, I'll always feel better and safer. He's my knight and shining armor who will always protect me. "Satoru, don't do anything irrational. I don't like that. If you want me to rest, I will nap for a little bit in the camera room. I want to be near both my husband and son." Being close to them will make it easier to fall asleep than being by myself in this.

"Alright babe. I'll carry you there. Just hold on tight!" Gojo hoisted me up as my legs were wrapped around his waist. "Come on, Nao! Let's go!"

I let my drowsiness take over until I felt like waking up.

30 minutes later, I woke up to Gojo's handsome face on his lap.

"Hi babe, how do you feel?" He quietly spoke to me as I realized there were people in the room. They didn't care about me laying in his lap. They minded their own business.

My fatigueness was gone, and my chest pain disappeared too. I don't know what happened right there, but I really hope it wasn't from Sukuna marking my soul. I casted a solace smile for his mind and body. "I am fine now. I don't know what it was, but I hope it doesn't happen again."

I sat beside him as we held hands from watching the students fight each other rather than the spirits itself. Naozumi sat on the opposite side of Gojo. His eyes were glued to the screen as he looked astonished at the students showing off their skills. He looked so inspired by them that I know one day his seniors are going to train him.

Suddenly on the screen, one of the Kyoto students fell asleep due to Inumaki's ability. "Yikes! She fell asleep." Gojo commented, and Utahime rose up from her seat.

"I'm heading over. It's dangerous leaving her in a forest filled with cursed spirits." Utahime rushed off for the safety of her student. Seeing her being concerned about her student's well-being made me reflect upon Gojo's past actions. He barely showed much emotions but positivity towards his students. He never had a heart-to-heart moment with them or expressed his fears. Earlier this year, he sent Megumi to get Sukuna's finger. Gojo only came in to check on Megumi because of the higher ups. If it wasn't for the higher ups, then Megumi would have been dead by the hands of Sukuna or something. The situation wouldn't have been easy for him.

"Show compassion to your students, Satoru. You barely do that. Utahime is a caring teacher towards her students."

Gojo looked over at me and pouted. Was he really butthurt over this? "I'm all about tough love for my students. I'm training them to grow stronger, so I don't have to keep saving everyone."

"Mommy, I have to go to the bathroom." Naozumi glanced at me, asking me instead of his dad since he's currently busy analyzing the videos.

"Of course, Nao. Let's go." Naozumi got off his seat, and I let Gojo know that we'll be back. "Don't miss us too long!" I patted his thigh and left with Naozumi in hand.

During his potty break, I waited for Naozumi to be done outside the hallway. I looked at the window in front of me to see a big deconstruction of nature resembling a big wave. That didn't look natural, nor any spirits or students can manipulate nature like that. Then I realized that a curtain was in place. An unsettling feeling dropped in my stomach. "I need to get Naozumi out of here!" I can't possibly put our son at risk. I'm not that strong to protect him from the danger that lies ahead of us.

Pushing the door open to the men's bathroom, I heard a male's voice talking which wasn't my son. He hasn't hit puberty since he's only five. Cold water poured over my heart as intense fear took over. Who's in there with my son? No one else was allowed to come into this building because it's only for staff. Everyone was in the camera room, and the students were outside.

Fully slamming the door wide to retrieve my son from the stranger, I immediately crumbled down in horror and possibly false imagination. Who stood right next to my son by the sink was a dead man. Words couldn't break through the gate in my throat. My body shook in confusion and terror for my son standing next to Geto Suguru. Being in his presence, I had no muscles to lift myself up and take Naozumi away from him.

"Long time no see, Ena." Geto smiled gently at me, then looked over at my son. "Your son looks just like Satoru, but he has your eyes instead. What a beautiful child!"

What did he do to my son? How long has he been in there? When did he get here? I had so many questions, but Naozumi's safety was more important than asking why or how Geto was alive. Gojo said he died, but that's impossible for someone to be resurrected from the dead. He looked like Geto from many years ago but with stitches in his forehead.

"Mommy, he said he's daddy's friend. Is that true—" I couldn't stand it. I'm about to cry from my turmoil feelings twisting and turning inside of me.

I found the power in me to snatched my son away from Geto, and I used my cursed eyes on him. "G-get away from my son!" I screeched at the top of my lungs as Naozumi was pressed against my chest.

Hastily, I wasted no time running with my trembling, fear-injected legs. "Baby..." My voice palpitated. I couldn't lie to my son about Geto because even I couldn't wrap my head around what I just saw. "That man was daddy's friend. He's been dead since last year." I hugged Naozumi tightly to me, in fear that Geto actually did something to him.

"But mommy," the next few words leaving Naozumi's mouth froze me in place. "He patted my head. There's no way a dead person can do that." My breathing was unsteady and shallow. There's no way he could lie about that. "Mommy?" His voice cracked, sensing my odd behavior.

"My my... That's how it feels like to be under your cursed eyes."

My hyperactive senses were on guard as I snapped my head in his direction. Sparing a quick glance at my son, I debated if I wanted him to run or stay with me. If he ran, Geto might summon a monster to go after him, and I wouldn't be able to save him. If I let him stay, I'm scared I can't protect the both of us. I couldn't even feel my legs anymore; they went numb from seeing him and hearing that he's real than dead.

"Don't look at me with so much trembling fear in your eyes, Ena." Geto slowly began approaching us. "I'm not here to hurt you or your son. I'm just—"

Gritting my teeth, I couldn't trust his words at all. I wanted to let my baby run, but he can't protect himself from low rank monsters, and there's not enough people to save him if it did happen. This could be a cursed spirit technique of an illusion. To test out this scary theory, I released my domain expansion. My pointer and middle fingers were standing as the rest of my fingers were closed. I brought the two fingers against the tip of my nose, I curved it downwards as I summoned my domain. "Seraphic exorcism domain expansion!"

My domain covered this entire campus, breaking the weak curtain at the same time. The whole area was engulfed in bright heavenly, divine light as relics appeared to burn the illusion away. However, the supposedly dead Geto wasn't disappearing. He was still standing.

"No, no, no, NO!" This was the worst case outcome that I could ever encounter besides Sukuna. I'm not going crazy. He's actually alive. "NAOZUMI, RUN AWAY! NOW!" I yelled at my little boy since my domain will kill any spirits of all levels. He will be safe.

"Mommy, I'm not leaving you!" Naozumi tugged my arm. "You're coming with me!" He whimpered, scared to lose his mom to a bad person. I won't know what kind of emotional confliction he's going through, but this was my selfish act to push him as far away from me as possible. Naozumi needs to leave for the brighter future of his.

Gently peeling off his fingers, I spoke to him softly as I was on the verge of crying. Geto said he wasn't here to kill us, but maybe he said that because he's in front of a child. "Baby, mommy will come back alive." I don't want to leave Naozumi soon, so I'm going to fight if I have to. Gojo and Naozumi will be okay if something does happen to me. "I love you, Nao. Don't ever forget that!"

Naozumi reluctantly ran out, turning to look at my one last time as he exited the area.

"Aw what a cute kid."

"How can you be alive? Satoru said he saw you die." My voice quivered as I tried to be strong to face this dead-alive man. Not even a jujutsu can resurrect the dead. He's not a cursed spirit, but a walking corpse... Or maybe a cursed spirit who can regenerate saved him when he was on his deathbed?

"Why are you so afraid? I am Geto Suguru, alive and well! I think you heard wrong from your dear husband." Geto began approaching me, and I stumbled back from him. He emitted an unknown feeling like a dark void that shouldn't be sought for or else a person will get lost forever.

As I lost my balance, I landed on my butt, staring up at him as he smiled peacefully. "Oh? I didn't expect Sukuna to mark you. Do you want me to get rid of it? I'm able to do that...just like how you're able to do it too." Geto can even sense it?! "It's going to get worse each passing day, and then you're going to slowly get weak and wither away."

I shook my head. "No! You're lying! Why would I trust a person who wants to eradicate humans?!" He's speaking words of nonsense. There's no way he could be knowledgeable about this because he's...he's been dead for a year.

Vwooooom!

A loud rumble shook the whole ground like an earthquake was hitting us, and my domain slowly faded away from whoever created that.
