Oh my gosh, sorry for the abrupt start! *bow*

I got this splash of inspiration after listening to the song Baby Romantica for like the millionth time and reading soooo many Hiroki-Nowaki-having-a-kid fanfics! XD I thought it should be another certain couple's turn!

Please do let me know what you think and I'll get started for the next chapter soon!

-Kusama Orphanage-

"Oh, but Nowaki! Onegai!" Sister Kaworu bowed slightly to Nowaki's huge figure. She was holding a small bundle with apparently, a baby boy inside. The baby boy started to cry.

"Please! He has nowhere else to go..we have too much infants here at the orphanage already...we can't take care of him.." she begged. Nowaki stood there, unsure of what to say. Or if he was, he was sure it would be a sad answer.

That was the thing. About 2 months ago, he and Hiroki already took in a one-year old girl for adoption, since the Kusama orphanage could not accomodate her and it was her homeless mother's wish. And sadly, her mother died a couple weeks later in his hospital after catching a terrible disease. For the first month, it was hell, since they had struggled so much taking care of a baby for the very first time. The sleepless nights, crying and endless attention had wrecked both his and Hiroki's schedules, his part-time jobs (which he had to quit a further two), Hiroki could not submit his thesis' on time and they nearly had just about enough, not to mention the stack of how-to books on parenting 101 on Hiroki's desk.

Yet, they loved their little Aiko. She had become their little bundle of joy. The schedules had soon eased and slowly returning to normal, and somehow, he could only enjoy the times they spent together as a family. Hiroki had become really awkward about the whole 'being parents even-though-they-were-both-men" thing, but seeing his Hiro-san's happy pink-cheeked face while feeding Aiko-chan was proof enough. She spent the night with her papa Hiro and the daytime with her papa Nowaki.

As happy and content he was having Aiko-chan. He and Hiroki knew just about one was enough. They couldn't handle anymore children, nor take care of them.

Staring at the light brown-haired child in the bundle crying had just reminded Nowaki of himself many years ago, and it twisted his heart. He had to do something for this child, find him willing parents at least. Nowaki wanted to make sure this baby boy would be alright.

"Uh..I...Sister Kaworu..." he really wasn't sure what he could say. He knew he had to do something. As an act of desperation, knowing he would probably be barraged with a rack of yelling, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Hiroki's number.

Sister Kaworu watched with nervousness and anxiety as Nowaki walked a little distance away and was explaining the situation to his lover. She hoped Nowaki can help the little baby boy, he wasn't even named for all she knew. He was only about one month old. And just like Nowaki, the moment she saw the child after his mother had handed him to her, she was washed with a wave of nostalgia of that night 20 odd years or so ago that she picked up baby Nowaki from the steps of Kusama orphanage.

Interrupting her thoughts, she noticed Nowaki close his phone and made his way to her and the child. He had a happy but slightly uneasy expression on his face.

Nowaki tenderly smiled at his "mother" and gently took the baby boy from her arms.

"Don't worry sister, it'll be alright, I'm afraid it won't be me and Hiroki who would adopt his child, but another couple we know. Well, another Hiro-san knows." he gave her a comforting pat on the back.

"And I know, for sure, they will take very good care of this baby boy." he reassured her.

As he turned to walk way with the child, Sister Kaworu hesitated and gently tugged Nowaki's sleeve. "Who will adopt the child? At least tell me, Nowa-chan..." she pleaded, concern in her eyes.

"Do you know the famous award-winning author Usami Akihiko? He also has a lover named Misaki. They have been together and they are a very good, strong couple for a few years now and Hiro-san will talk to them. He's pretty sure they would love to have the child." Nowaki explained, beaming.

"I'll bring the legal papers later, then."
