So the next day came around. I decided to go take a walk at the beach while Jotaro slept in. I had no idea how this man could sleep so much after basically being comatose. But he deserves the rest, so I didn't fuss or argue.

I sat down in the sand enjoying the fresh air. I pondered one what would be the best course of action for Jotaro's recovery.

I felt like keeping him home all the time would be unhealthy. That was why I suggested to go see his family with him. Maybe seeing Joseph, SuzyQ and Shizuka would be the first step. Then we could go to Japan to see his mother. She was getting up there in age, and it worried me having her alone for so long. Maybe we could visit Morioh and see how things were going.

I only wished him the best and keeping him cooped up here and attached to me would not help at all.

"Good morning."

I nearly squealed as I turned to see Giorno holding Polnareff behind me. I placed my hand on my chest and said, "Good morning."

"Sorry for the scare," he apologized formally. "We wanted to come since we were leaving for Itsly tomorrow."

"Oh, it's okay. Want to come in for some tea?"

"Sure," he said.

We in the house settled in at the kitchen. Polnareff was on the counter while Giorno and I sat on stools at the island.

"So," I said starting up a conversation. "What's it like in Italy?"

Giorno began talking about how great it was especially since he got drugs off the streets. I could barely believe he was fifteen when he took over the mafia.

While he was talking, Jotaro came in quietly.

Then I cringed really hard. I discreetly pointed at my neck when I got his attention.

Jotaro noticed and inhaled sharply. He unclipped the collar and placed it in his pocket.

Finally, Giorno turned around noticing that Jotaro was there. "Good morning."

Jotaro nodded.

A snicker came from Polnareff. Did he see? I was barely paying attention to him while Giorno was talking. He said, "Jotaro, I'm surprised you had such hobbies."

Jotaro reached up to pull his hat down, but there was no hat. He averted his eyes instead.

Giorno looked between us puzzled. Then he suggested, "You should come to Italy. It is in fact a great place."

"That's not a bad idea." I looked over at Jotaro, who was still frozen at the doorway. "What do you think?"

He said stiffly, "Yeah."

I sighed, "Come in, Jotaro. We don't bite. Well, I'm not sure about Polnareff here."

Jotaro was still feeling embarrassed from being called out by him, but he came to my side and stayed close. He peeked at me. He was waiting for something.

I chuckled quietly. "You remember that now?" I placed my lips on his cheek and said, "Good morning, hun."

Then he left me to go to the fridge.

He remembered his good morning kiss.

When I turned back to Giorno, he seemed shy. I guess display of affection wasn't the norm for him, or at least right in front of him. He gathered his composure as we began to talk about some other things.

For the next few hours, we talked and spent some time. This time, they got Jotaro to speed as in what was going on with them despite him still not knowing who they are. It seemed to put Jotaro at ease. And then finally, they had to leave.

We were all at the doorway.

"Jotaro," Polnareff called. He reached with his turtle front legs.

Jotaro picked him up from Giorno's arms.

"Give me a hug, mon ami."

Jotaro did what was told, but he didn't both to let go of him soon. He held him to his chest as his breath became shaken. He just hugged him tightly. Then he said, "It's been so long."

He has remembered something.

"Aw, Jotaro," Polnareff said. "Don't worry. We'll see you again! Or you can come visit us."

Jotaro nodded as his lips trembled slightly.

I could feel myself tear up from the sheer emotion he was exuding.

"Alright," he said. "Goodbye."

Jotaro passed Polnareff to Giorno.

I reached for Jotaros hand and held it gently for support.

We said our goodbyes and watched them drive away.

I gave a supporting squeeze, and he squeezed back. I let go and reached to wrapped my arm around his waist. I asked softly, "Want to go to the beach? Take a walk?"

Jotaro sniffed and gulped. It was like he was trying to hold something in. He shook his head. "I'll... go to the office."

"Hun," I said, concerned. "You shouldn't push yourself trying to remember everything. You should focusing on getting better."

He mumbled, "How can I get better if I don't remember?"

"It's okay to try to get better, but you're over doing it," I said. "You already spend hours in that office."

"But I want to understand," he sighed. "I feel like I will never see them ever again. I don't get it."

I held him tighter. "Hun, it's okay. You are slowly remembering anyways."

"But..." He was at a loss of words.

"Come on," I said. "Get your hat and we can get some fresh air and exercise."

He nodded. He looked troubled.

I reached for chin and pressed his lips to mine. "Don't worry about a thing. We can work on it together if you need a little bit of help. Okay?

He nodded.

"I love you, hun." I gave him another kiss, but this time on his cheek.

He replied, "I love you too." He said quietly, "Let me get my hat."

"Okay."
