So this has been an idea of mine since last year and I finally decided to write it up cause I couldn't sleep...so I hope you like it but like I said it is an Mpreg or has mentions of it and it is a yaoi so if you don't like that type of thing don't read it...so without further adéu I present

When you were gone

Rei's honey eyes fluttered open as he knew his flight was drawing to an end. He could only sigh...Russia. He was moving to Russia. The last place where he ever thought he would move. This was where he was from and Rei never thought he would want to even be in the same continent as him...but he had no choice. The contract his company had signed him for entailed to years in Russia. Besides what where even the chances that the two would ever meet? Russia was a pretty big country! The chances of running into one person where very slim were they not?

Rei sighed. As he had done many times in the past weeks of learning he was moving here. His life was changing and whether it was for the better or worse he was not yet sure. The only sense of comfort that Rei had was the fact that Tala was going to walk him through everything. If it hadn't been for that Rei would have probably refused. But he knew that, that would have been the wrong choice. He needed this. They needed this. It was the break he had been waiting for.

But it brought back memories. Memories that Rei wished he could just forget. Memories he was reminded of each day that broke his heart more and more each time but Rei had to stay strong. He could not break down and fall apart. Not yet. He needed to stay strong for them.

Rei's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the announcement saying the plane was about to land.

He sighed once more.

Fate had a cruel sense of humor. The young man thought dryly. He had not been in Russia for six years. For five long yet joyous years he was away from this place. Yet here he was dreading every moment of it.

As soon as the plane made impact with the ground Rei's heart picked up. He wished the plane would just turn around back to China. Back to his village and the home he left unattended. Rei's eyes held unshed tears. His heart clenched. Why had they chosen Russia of all places? The unshed tears Rei had been holding back began to spill. There was no turning back. This was his home for the next to years.

The plane stopped.

"We have reached our destination" The announcement was said in Russian. Rei took one more deep breath and wiped away his tears turning toward the two small bodies beside him. The lights of his life.

"Lifen, Liqin" Rei said in a gentle voice, shaking the two gently. "xing lai"(1) Lifen simply turned to the other side.

"5 minutes..." She grumbled. While Liqin simply yawned and stretched out proceding to raising his arms that could be translated to 'carry me'.

"Lan duo cong" (2) Rei said with a chuckle.

The boy did not respond. He just simply lay his head on Rei's left shoulder as Rei juggled the child and their carry on bags. Sliding the bags onto his shoulder so his right hand was free.

"Lifen!" Rei called.

"Hah!" The girl finally awoke with a grumble. She snatched her carry on bag from Rei with a glare and proceeded to hold his hand. 'If looks could kill' Rei thought jokingly to himself. He knew where Lifen had inherited that look from, it both saddened and elated him that she should so much of her father's traits. Though she would probably never meet him. Rei was pulled out of his thoughts with a tug on his sleeve.

"Mama why were you crying?" The little girl said in a bit of a forceful tone. Liqin looked to Rei with wide sunset orange eyes. Tears beginning to show in the youth's eyes.

"Huh? I'm just tired, I did not cry." Liqin's expression showed obvious relaxation. Rei knew this would not satisfy Lifen as her name meant she was clever. But he knew that she would not push it because Liqin would become upset if he thought Rei was upset. Lifen gave him a look that told him that later they would discuss this.

Rei sighed she was to smart for her own good. The young girls hand grasped his and the three exited the plane as the last ones, walking through the giant air port. As soon as they entered the Luggage room Rei made quick work. He hauled the big suitcases and put them on a cart. After that was accomplished he bundled the two twins with winter coats that he had recently purchased. As well as boots, hats (the hats covered the white roots of the twins hair only revealing the black portion of their hair), mittens, and scarves. But the end of it the two young children could barely move their arms. Rei made a quick not that he would later take pictures of the two.

Rei then checked his watch 4:33 pm. Rei quickly rushed the two off with him. He was late! He had promised to meet Tala at the gates at 4:30! Running half dragging Lifen and Liqin along he reached his destination with five minutes Tala was waiting for him in a carmel coloured fur jacket and a brown ushanka (3). The red haired male let out a yawn.

"TALA!" Rei yelled. The redhead sprung to action.

"Kitten!" He ran to Rei and gave the White Tigger a bone crushing hug. "How was your flight? Did you get here okay? How's the old man doing? Did you get warm clothes? How's Mariah doing?" Rei could hardly understand the Russian talking a thousand words per minute.

"Umm one at a time?" Rei pleaded.

"Huh? Oh sorry I'm just excited to see you is all! You don't understand how boring Bryan can get!" Tala said with a wink. "I mean a lover is good but a best friend is irreplaceable! Yah know?" Rei blushed slightly at the compliment. It was rare he felt special. "Hey are those the twins!" Tala exclaimed, pushing past Rei. "HOW CUTE! The last time I saw them they were just baby kittens!" Tala assaulted the two with a hug. Lifen did not move from the hug but Liqin dogged diving and effectively found the safety of behind Rei's leg trying to hide himself but failing. Tala's eyes widened. "He's shy how cute!" the redhead exclaimed.

"Uncle Tala please stop teasing Liqin the cry baby will dirty himself." Lifen stated with a sigh. Liqin's cheeks puffed and he glared at her from behind Rei.

"Will not! Your just a meany cause your older by a few minutes!" The boy stuck out his tongue.

"Your just a cry baby! And those few minutes made a BIG difference " The other yelled sticking her tongue out making a silly face at her younger brother.

"MEANY!"

"BABY!"

"That's enough!" Rei said in a motherly tone. "Lifen don't call Liqin a baby because he's shy. And Liqin do not call your sister a meany you know that she cares dearly for you. Now why don't you two hug and make up." Liqin reluctantly left the safety of behind Rei's leg and hugged his sister. She hugged the boy as well.

"Sorry" They mumbled simultaneously. A click of a camera was heard. They both turned to be met by Tala's camera.

"Sorry it was to cute to pass up!" Tala said innocently.

To say Kai was pissed off would not describe his emotions. He'd asked for a simple cup of black coffee, no milk no sugar. Instead his stupid assistant had given him a frapuccino! How could anyone be that stupid! Needless to say he had dumped the frapuccino on the employee and fired them on the spot.

However that did not help with Kai's mood. Because now he would need to find a new assistant and he still did not have his coffee. Kai let out an audible growl. Damn people...things just couldn't get done properly if he didn't do it himself. Kai turned up when he heard a noise.

Damn employees taking him out of his thoughts.

Another knock and then a slight creak of the door being opened.

"Mr. Hiwatari?" The man said shaking with fear.

"What?" Kai said in a tone that clearly screamed get out or die. Kai sent a bone chilling glare to the innocent employee.

"U-Umm a-ah it's t-th-the phone its f-for-"

"Get on with it" Kai said in a cool tone.

"Mr. Voltaire would like to speak with you sir!"

"Was that so hard?" Kai said eye twitching in annoyance.

"N-No sir!" If the employee looked scared coming in he was petrified now.

"Well?" Kai said with a glare. "Get out." His tone of voice was not pleasant in the least. The boy ran out immediately.

Kai pressed park and picked up the receiver.

"What is it old man?" Kai said angrily.

"You missed your lunch with Miss Anya, Grandson." The man said anger in his tone as well.

"If you haven't noticed Grandfather, " Kai stressed the word as if he was being forced to say it. "I am launching a new branch to the company the last thing I have time for is the whiny females you set me up with for marriage purposes. I will marry when I see fit. I will make heirs when I see fit." Kai nearly growled the last part.

"Fine. Fine. But Kai you will get married within the year just you wait!" With that his grandfather hung up.

Kai simply let out a sigh of annoyance.

'Whatever' he thought to himself clearly angry.

Just because Kai threw away those he had sexual relations with after he had used them it did not mean that he had to be married. He wouldn't just stop because Voltaire asked him to. He'd done it to many people already and had done it to his once best friend. And as long as Kai was the leader Beyo Corp he would not stop.

Rei and Tala closed the door to the room the twins were now sleeping in. This was Rei's temporary home until the contract ended but the company was providing the pent house and paying for it. Rei would have preferred a small house instead of the pent house but he was in no condition to argue. He was not one to waste money and besides the house was temporary in two short years he would get to return to his small home in the village. How he missed the village...

But his fan base was increasing along with the jobs he was receiving. That's why he was in Russia. A photographer by the name of Spencer (who was a former school mate) was promoting new fashion lines and had asked the models he thought were most capable to do the job. He'd found Rei when Tala was going threw photos of jobs he'd done. Rei had just happened to be one of the models in a picture that Ivan adored and voila here he was.

Rei didn't refuse the job because it offered a big sum of money and if there was a chance of Rei doing more jobs he had to take them. Because Rei wanted to support for his children. He didn't want them to suffer the way he had when he was young and without parents. Being sent from school to school and always coming up for excuses as to why you couldn't watch movies, or go to restaurants with your friends. Rei would give them the love and security that he never had and to do that he needed this job.

"You know Rei they really are precious" Tala said pulling his long time friend out of his thoughts. "I'm glad you kept them..." Rei turned to his friend a smile on his face.

"I am too...I don't know where I'd be without them...and even though everyone told me to get an abortion...I'm glad I didn't...they're the lights of my life Tala...without them I would have just done myself in." The boy said solemnly. Tala gave the boy a hug.

"I know Rei Rei...I know."
