Childhood
A/N: I haven't written a fanfiction in a very, very long time. Now I'm doing it out of boredom I suppose. Always good to beat boredom with constructive methods.

Summary: The children of celebrities generate headlines even before they're born, and Kuon Hizuri is no exception. This is a collection of those headlines.
A Bun in the Oven for the Hizuri Couple?
October 3rd
Los Angeles – At the red carpet premiere of his new blockbuster, action star Kuu Hizuri was spotted on the red carpet with his wife, model Julie Hizuri. Mrs. Hizuri was spotted wearing a lose fitting red dress with an empire waist. Could this be an attempt to hide a baby bump?
The couple eloped two years ago after dating for six months. With no signs of a baby bump previously, and both Kuu and Julie expressing their interest in having children, there's been much speculation about when the couple would finally welcome their first child.
Our sources say that the couple has been keeping in constant contact while at work the past month, and Julie is said to be looking into opportunities to launch her own fashion line in California so that she can be closer to Kuu. She has been living in New York City while doing modeling in Europe and New York. Last week we reported that Julie and Kuu had put their Los Angeles and New York luxury condominiums on the market and were looking at homes in Beverly Hills and Malibu. Could this be due to a pregnancy?
When contacted, neither Hizuri's agency provided us with a comment.
It's Official: A-List Couple Announces a Baby is on the Way
October 15th
Los Angeles – After much speculation, the agency for Julie Hizuri has finally released a statement revealing that she and her husband, actor Kuu Hizuri, are expecting their first child. The agency says that she will not be walking in any more fashion shows this year, and will instead focus on designing her new fashion line, which will make its debut next spring. A preview show this fall at London Fashion Week received rave reviews despite only showing off five looks. The statement also revealed that she had also begun working on a line for matching mother-child ensembles, inspired by her desire to match with her own child.
The couple will be living in Beverly Hills, where they reportedly bought a $14.5 million dollar mansion last week. Kuu is working on several projects right now, including a season long appearance in a popular crime drama as a depraved serial killer and a modeling contract with a cologne brand in his native Japan. He has stated that after these projects are complete he expects to take a year off of big acting jobs, focusing more on modeling and promotion of his current projects so that he can focus on family.
No due date was released by the agency, but it is likely that the baby will be born sometime this spring.
It's a Boy!
February 14th
Los Angeles – The agencies of Kuu and Julie Hizuri released a joint statement today announcing the birth of the couple's first child on February 10th. Both mother and child are reported to be healthy, and both new parents are very excited to welcome their son. The statement also revealed that the child had been named Kuon – a Japanese name derived from his father's name.
Julie will have her hands full with the newborn and her upcoming fashion show in New York in April. Last month a heavily pregnant Julie was said to still be in the studio preparing, but now sources are reporting that she will be working from home until the show, and all photoshoots for the line's upcoming features in fashion magazines during the next month will go on as scheduled without her.
Paparazzi caught the couple leaving a hospital two days ago, although the date of birth was unknown until today.
Kuon Hizuri's Baby Pics Revealed!
February 10th
New York – In celebration of their child's first birthday, Kuu and Julie Hizuri have released the first official pictures of their child in a recent interview with a top entertainment magazine. The pictures show their son, Kuon, sitting outside in Central Park at a family picnic, and posing in front of Buckingham Palace. There is also a picture of them with their son at the couple's Beverly Hills home.
These pictures show that their son has inherited his father's good looks and green eyes, with his mother's signature golden hair. In another 15 years, it's certain that he'll grow up to be a major teenage heartthrob like his father was back in the day.
Kuu also revealed that he would be starring in a new spy thriller, his first major project since the birth of his child, while Julie has kept the couple travelling to London and New York for the last week looking at locations for boutiques in which to sell fashions from her successful clothing brand, which is about to come out with a lower cost consumer line. She already runs one boutique in Los Angeles.
The Birth of a Star? Kuon Hizuri is Cast in His First Major Role
January 23rd
Los Angeles – At the young age of eleven, the son of action star Kuu Hizuri has been cast in an as of yet unnamed project. Following in his father's footsteps, this movie is reportedly a big budget action movie. He will reportedly be playing the kidnapped son of the main character. This is Kuon's first major role after making various cameos on TV programs since his first birthday. Kuu revealed this information while he was praising his son during the taping of a popular talk show yesterday.
Sources say this announcement has caused a rift between the young star's parents and the producers, as the film studio had not announced anything about the film and had intended to keep the details of it under wraps for another few months. The producers reportedly feel that Kuu has "ruined their marketing strategy" by "undermining their surprise announcement" of Kuon's casting. Spokespeople for the agency are currently offering no comment on the situation, but have confirmed the casting of Hizuri's son for the role.
