"Alright team, one more lap around the courts and then hit the showers."

The Seigaku team already covered in a heavy layer of sweat took off around the tennis courts, more than ready to feel the relaxing spray of the warm water against their aching muscles.

"Kikumaru!'

The entire team looked back and Shuichiro Oishi was crouched over Eiji Kikumaru who was laying on the ground drifting in and out of consciousness.

" Out of my way. NOW!"

Kunimitsu Tezuka knelt next to the red head, "Are you okay?"

Eiji mumbled, " I'm sorry Buchou, I didn't mean to stop practice."

Tezuka sighed, "Don't be, Syusuke finish practice, I'm taking Kikumaru home."

Kunimitsu Tezuka lifted the neko into his arms and set him in the front of his Toyota Supra and placed a trash can between Eiji's knees, before climbing into the driver's seat and letting the car roar to life.

************************

"C'mon Eiji lets go inside," Tezuka groaned as her lifted the red head from the car.

"Bu- chou."

Tezuka placed a finger over Eiji's lips, "Shh, don't talk."

"Tezu."

Kunimitsu put his finger over Eiji's lips again, "What did I just say?"

Much to Tezuka's relief, Eiji was silent when he finally laid the neko down on the bed that he and the neko shared and kissed Eiji on the forehead, before pouring himself a glass of brandy and walking out onto his balcony.

" What am I gonna do," he sighed.

Tezuka was never at a loss for words for any reason, but for the first time the words escaped him. Eiji's pregnancy was getting harder to hide each day, and Kunimitsu was getting to the end of his rope.

"GOD DAMN IT!"

Tezuka had broken the brandy glass in his hand and the alcohol burned as it flowed into the open cut on his hand.

" Tezu-kun."

Tezuka whipped around, " Eiji you're awake."

"Uh- huh," Eiji gasped, "Tezuka your hand!"

"Oh," Tezuka jerked his hand away from Eiji, "I'm fine!"

Eiji walked forward and walked into Tezuka's arm as tear began to flow down his cheeks.

"Eiji, please don't cry, I'm okay," Eiji continued to cry, "If I let you fix my hand will you stop crying?"

Eiji looked up into Tezuka's golden orbs and sniffled, "Uh-huh."

******************************

Tezuka flinched as Eiji wrapped his hand in the bandage.

"Ow!"

Eiji taped the bandage, "I'm all down."

The captain smirked at Eiji and pulled the neko into his lap. " Tezu, the baby kicked today."

Kunimitsu pulled the neko closer to him and nibbled on his counterpart's ear. "Mitsu- chan."

Tezuka giggled.

"What is it Mitsu?"

"I felt it too."

Eiji smiled his signature grin, but to Tezuka's dismay it quickly faded, "Buchou, what are we gonna do?"

Tezuka tucked Eiji beneath his chin, "Eiji, If I knew I'd tell you but I'm at a total loss."

Tezuka and Eiji were deep in conversation when Eiji heard a voice coming from outside Tezuka's door, "Tezuka!"

Eiji stiffened, "Tezuka, who is that?"

"Someone that I've been able to confide in."

The bedroom door opened and Syusuke Fuji stood in the doorway, "Hey Eiji, how is the baby?"

Eiji blinked for a moment, then stole Tezuka's glasses and stuck them down his shirt, "Eiji what was that for?"

"For not telling me about Syusuke."

Fuji smiled, "So how does our Buchou go about getting his spectacle back?"

Eiji pouted, " I want kisses."

Tezuka pulled Eiji into kiss of pure fire and before releasing the neko's lips he drew his glasses from Eiji's shirt.

Eiji's look of surprise caused a rarely heard chuckle to escape Fuji's lips, "Eiji can I feel the baby?" "If you want to."

Fuji's cold hand caused Eiji to shiver for a moment before he placed his hands over Fuji's, "Move your hands right here."

Fuji's eyes went wide, "I FELT IT!!!"

Tezuka smile glowed with pride as he looked at Eiji and Fuji, "It's amazing isn't it Fuji?"

"Amazing isn't the word Kunimitsu"

Tezuka felt a weight lifted from his shoulders now that he had someone to share his happiness with, but there was still the problem of telling Coach Ryuzaki and the team. And if he didn't tell the team, what city her and Eiji were gonna have to move to.
