Both detectives were sick and tired of the same question; "When will you guys have kids?"
Everyone, from the police to their families, had asked them multiple times since they had gotten married six months ago. The only one who seemed to understand was the little boy giving them pitying glances at crime scenes and who had once slipped a foster care leaflet into Sato's bag. That silent support from someone who shouldn't have understood kept the two going for a while now but their patience was wearing thin.
Takagi Wataru was one of the last people you'd expect explode so destructively, but that's exactly what he did one afternoon in the break room of the precinct.
"What did you just say?" His voice was emotionless and the nameless newbie took it for his usual shyness and kept on digging his grave.
"I said you should just fuck her raw and be done with it. Everyone knows you want a kid but that wife of yours just won't give up her job. The easy solution is to just fuck her and get her pregnant, women can't kill so I'll doubt the thought of abortion will even pass through that tiny little brain of hers."
At this point everyone in the break room had gone deadly silent. Chiba raised his eyes skyward and asked whoever was up there to please forgive the soul Takagi was about to send, gift wrapped and in a hand basket.
The newbie was shoved against the wall with an forearm to his neck, coffee splashing everywhere.
"If you even think for a second that you're getting off lightly for what you just said, you'd be dead wrong. Let me make things abundantly clear. Miwako and I do not want a baby. Children, yes, but a baby? Hell No! We are police detectives, our work is danger 24/7 and we are not bringing a defenseless BABY into it. And before you even mention the word 'housewife', I would rather die than see my wife reduced to that. She thrives here! This job is her life and I will never take that away from her. But this job is also my life so we decided that we are not having a child of our own. We are adopting and that is final! If anyone else has anything to say about it I will personally skin them alive."
After his speech, the detective kneed his captive in the groin and stormed out, leaving everyone in shock. Everyone except the little boy who'd been filming everything in the corner.
Later that night he would use that film to win the biggest betting pool in the precinct and go home with enough money to buy Ran that matching diamond earring, necklace, bracelet set she had been oohing at the previous Saturday. And maybe even a ring to match for later, when Haibara finished her antidote.
A little bird in glasses made sure that everyone knew that he was supporting them and that anyone caught harassing either of the two detectives would be found dead, no evidence to prove who did it and they would be left forgotten among the unsolved cases. Sato and Takagi were happy to say that after that everyone backed off. They also found it strange that in the precinct, all those involved with their harassment would never come near Conan and the two detectives were left playing 'keep up with the 10 year old' on every single case.
