L twisted slightly in his chair, letting out a low groan which incidentally caused Light to raise his head and look at his partner questioningly. Out the corner of his eye, he saw the rest of the team looking at L inquisitively and felt the rush of protective love he always had when other people glanced at his L..

His L. He liked that… Light hid a smile as he watched L settle down back into his chair. L's posture was twisted and seemed to be sitting in his usual position like a man in pain, however sheer determination kept his crouching to his regular height.

Light heard the muted whispers behind his back, gossiping about the state of L's displeasure, yet ignoring them, he settled back into analysing the large pile of paperwork that had been assigned to him this morning.

L moved again, sliding carefully off his chair and gazing around the room at the people crowded in, he finally rested his gaze on Light's long body which was draped on one of the long black settees. Feeling a flutter of butterflies accompany the soft nudge that emitted from inside his body, L blushed quickly and mussed his dark hair to cover the now-obvious primrose tint on his cheeks.

"Lunch" L muttered and walked casually to the adjoining kitchenette. He heard the relieved gasps that came from inside the workroom, and listened to his comrades unwrap their carefully packed lunches. He felt a pang of nostalgia as he remembered that not a time so long ago, when he used to find his cake wrapped up in the fridge with a note from Watari. As he reminisced of forgotten times, he felt a familiar pair of arms gently drape around his waist. L felt Light's hot breath fan his ear.

"Hey daddy" Light whispered and chuckled darkly, spreading his fingers across the soft bump that was carefully disguised by L's baggy jumper. L jumped slightly at the new name and wound his way out of Light's arms, but linked his fingers within Light's firm grasp.

"It's going to take me a while to get use to that" L laughed nervously, and with a seemingly unconscious gesture he placed his hand on top of the slight swell of his stomach.

"Well honey we've got a few more months until it makes a appearance" Light smiled, unaffected of the quiet atmosphere that surrounded L. Light gently reached out and caught the soft warm bump, and rubbed his hand across the textured surface, marvelling at the valleys and peaks that would soon be elbows and knees. L looked down and felt the hot heat of the blush creep across his porcelain face

"Amazing isn't it Light-kun?" L whispered and looked at Light's face. To his surprise, Light was staring warmly and L's own face

"Completely amazing" he grinned, and stood up, towering over L's slight frame, still stroking the tiny life force in between them. L felt his breath speed up at Light's proximity and stared at his full lips that were glinting in the harsh light.

Light leaned down and caught L's mouth with his own and gently felt his true love's happy sigh fill his mouth. L curled his hands against Light's hard chest and relaxed into the kiss, feeling for the first time at home.

Between them, a hard kick came from L's body and caught the couple's attention. Light pulled back lauging and, bending down, he brushed his mouth across the swollen bump and sliding his cold hand under the supple material of L's sweatshirt.

"Don't think I haven't forgotten about you baby" he whispered and, kissing the soft bump once more, he rose fluidly to his feet, and handed L a large slice of cake from the cabinet across from them.

"Eat your cake" he scolded to L and dropped a light kiss on L's forehead, before stalking out of the kitchen, grabbing a apple as he went.

L smiled, and looked down at the beautifully decorated cake, adorned with a iced strawberry and felt the slight nausea curl in his stomach. He gulped down the rapidly threatening urge to vomit and dumped the cake into the bin, scraping the plane clean before chucking the plate into the trash as well.

Morning sickness sucks..
