It had been a year since Izaya had left Ikebokuro and Shinjuku and for some unknown reason as well. Shizuo was actually staring to miss his fights with the male. Everyone else in Ikebokuro had forgotten about the torment he had caused and went about their lives happily, he instead cherished their times together and was starting to miss the pain in his ass.

Izaya walked back into Ikebokuro holding a small raven haired girl in his arms. She was resting her little head on his shoulder and was babbling away happily, "You're a chatterbox today. Eh Yumi," he laughed then walked into a small retail store where he walked over to the female behind the cashier who looked bored out of her mind. When her eyes met his she perked up and smiled at him.

"Hey...I'm here to collect a delivery. It's for a Mr Orihara," he stated. The female nodded then watched as he juggled the child and the child's bag. He took out his credit card out of his extremely tight jeans front pocket and payed for the parcel and walked into the streets where he was face to face with Shizuo.

The blonde only stared at him with shock, then noticed the little girl he was holding. He wated to hug the male as he was some what happy to see him but decided he'd act casual, "I thought I spelt something disgusting?" Shizou's casual is different to any normal person.

Izaya only simply laughed, "I'm gonna change her soon. I've been busy," he sighed then walked away. Shizuo was shock to see the little girl. She was so beautiful. She was so gorgeous, her eyes were so memorising and her smile was so breath taking. Most babies were ugly, but not her.

Izaya went into a child care store and led her into the males bathroom where he sat her on the bunker and got her changed into a clean nappy. He sat her up and kissed the girl on the cheek.

He watched in the mirror as Shizuo walked in behind him and stared at the girl for some time. He walked over and gave her a smile. "Bnaaa," The girl tried to hit him away. She turned to Izaya with tears in her eyes and held her hands out.

"Come here...Stop following me," Izaya hissed quietly as he picked her up and let her head rest on his shoulder. He headed out quickly but was still followed by the blonde male. Izaya head over to the shops selections of buggies and saw one that looked nice.

It was a simple pram that allowed her to sit up or lie down. It was black with a shade and had some pink lines on the stitching.

"What do you say Yumi? Do you want that one?" he asked pointing to the buggy that looked rather nice. The girl laughed and reached out for it.

"S'cuse me sir. Are you interested in that one," Izaya turned to see Masaomi. He hadn't changed that much, he was taller, and looked more grown up. His baby face being replaced with a slender and more masculine face. Izaya simply nodded his head then watched as the male recognised him.

"Izaya! What are you doing here...who's this?" He asked reaching out to touch the girls hand.

"Can I just get the buggy. Go and sell me it. Come to my house after you've finished work and I'll explain if you want," Masaomi nodded his head then saw that Shizuo was behind him. Masaomi turned back round and gave Izaya a genuine smile

"Since when did you two not try and kill each other?"

"He's following me and I have my hands full...just let me get this buggy," he pointed to the item. Masaomi led the male to the back of the store where he took one that was in the box and took it to the front and scanned it through.

"That'll be ¥6900, please," Izaya put his card into the machine and tapped his code in. Masaomi helped Izaya to assemble the buggy and watched as Izaya put the girl in.

"Don't fall asleep," Izaya whispered to the girl pushing her little cheek in. The girl laughed and reached her hand out and took his finger.

"Thanks. I'll be off," Izaya put the parcel on the bottom and put the child's bag onto the handle's and headed out. Izaya and Yumi headed home, to sleep as both of them were exhausted.

Izaya was a sleep on the couch when he heard his door bell go. He sighed and looked up to his messy house and got up and saw Masaomi and Mikado at the door. He held the door open and invited them up.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" He asked walking over to his kitchen. Izaya heard Yumi cry up the stairs and sighed. He put a tin of beans into the microwave then put it on for a minute. Kida ran over and pressed cancel and looked to his friend who was confused as well. He took the container out and watched as Izaya walked down his stairs with his child.

He sat her on the couch and closed his eyes. The male sighed realising that he still had visitors. Kida walked over and sat on the couch beside Izaya, "Dude what happened?" He asked looking to the child.

"If it wasn't obvious. I had a child. Her mother left me though and abandoned Yumi. I'm not too bothered about Natsume though," Kida nodded then held his hands out for Yumi.

"Go up stairs and get some rest. I'm gonna bring another friend and we'll tidy up," Izaya looked to the two males and then to his daughter.

"I don't know...why should I trust you after all I did?" Kida shrugged then watched as Izaya kissed his daughters cheek and headed the stairs, he needed to sleep and now was the time, he couldn't miss the oppurtunity.

"Come up here for a moment one of you," Kida gave the child over to Mikado and ran up the stairs and saw a small nursery that was getting painted.

"No one goes in here except you. Yumi's stuff is in there if she needs it," Izaya trudged into bed then turned to Masaomi, "Thank you," he whispered before getting into bed and falling asleep.

Kida texted his friend and waited for a reply before heading down and took Yumi from Mikado who began to tidy up the messy apartment. Clothes, food, nappies lay scattered every where and the place stunk.

Yumi began to cry as her daddy wasn't with her. Her amber eyes looking at Masaomi with worry. Izaya got from the bed and headed down the stairs and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Daddies going night nights. Be good for Masaomi and Mikado. Okay?" He kissed her cheek once again and watched as she snuggled into his body. "Be good. I'll be back soon," Yumi watched with attentive eyes as her daddy walked away from her and up the stairs.

Masaomi sat on the couch and turned the girl around to face him. He held her hands and gently bounded her up and down, "I wonder who her mother is? Who is this Natsume person?" He asked Mikado who was stuffing the litter and nappies into a large black bag.

A small knock came to the door and Masamoi got a text. The blonde stood up and headed to the door and opened it to revel Shizuo. He stepped in and took the girl who was looking very sad.

"Shizuo do you know a Natsume by any chance?" The blonde nodded then walked over to Izaya's computer as he saw that he had a few frames. He picked up one and showed them it.

"This is Natsume. She was my friend in high school and had a large crush on Izaya. Is this her child?" He asked looking at the girl he held in his arms. She looked nothing like Natsume, only her dad.

Shizuo sat down on the couch and took the house in. He had never been invited to Izaya's. It was very messy indeed. The blonde opened a few windows and saw his smaller friends tidying up.

"It's never this messy. He must be having a hard time," Shizuo smiled then sat on the couch and watched as Yumi began to sway her head from side to side babbling away to herself. Shizuo laughed at the girl and then heard someone behind him.

"I didn't give you permission to be here," a hiss came from behind. Shizuo turned to Izaya who was in a pair of grey shorts and a dressing gown that was open. "I don't want you holding my kid," he held his hands out for Yumi and she happily held her arms out for her daddy.

"I would never hurt your child or a child as a matter of fact," Izaya shrugged and sat down beside Shizuo and lay Yumi on her back, with her legs facing him.

A knock at the door startled Izaya. He watched as the door opened and a ginger headed female walked in with a few items, "Hows my princess?" She asked walking over to Yumi and touching her forehead.

Her eyes laid on Shizuo and she hissed, "I see I've already been replaced," She saw the horror in Izaya's eyes and grinned maliciously. "Oh so he doesn't know does he. I think I should tell him. Don't you?" She laughed before turning to Shizuo. "Guess what Shizuo?" She laughed.

"Please no," Izaya begged standing up while holding Yumi. Masaomi took a hold of Yumi as Izaya began to shake.

"Natsume. Don't tell me. I don't care for his life. Izaya seems to be very stressed. Can you leave?"

"And bring her stuff!" Izaya screamed at her.

"I will as soon as you tell him what you did," she grinned evilly. Izaya sat down on the couch in defeat and looked to his knees. "Tell him," Izaya shook his head then turned to the the younger two in the room. He leaned closer in to Shizuo and put his lips to his ear.

"Don't freak out. I'm sorry. I'm in love with you. I moaned your name out while having sex and then she caught me masturbating to you," he whispered quietly going bright red. Shizuo went pale then turned to Izaya in shock. He took his hand and gently massaged it.

"Natsume...that was just harsh. Give Yumi her stuff now," the ginger disappeared for a few moments then came in with quite a few suitcases and boxes, in various sizes.

"Bye," She said before walking away. Izaya looked to Shizuo and went bright red before making his way up the stairs in a rush. Shizou sighed then looked to Yumi who was sleeping. Shizuo stood up and took her into Izaya's room where a small basket lay.

Shizuo walked over and shook Izaya who had fallen asleep. He didn't move and remained to sleep, "I'm going to tidy your house then we'll chat," he whispered before heading down the stairs to tidy the house up.

He helped the younger two with tidying and allowed Mikado run down to the nearest grocer to pick up some food for the male. Shizuo sat on the couch beside Masaomi sipping cups of tea, "What was it?" Kida suddenly asked. Shizuo looked at him confused, "You know the secret...Izaya whispered it into your ear,"

"I can't tell you that. That's just between us three," he stated then heard Yumi crying up the stairs. The older blonde stood up and went to see to the female only to see Izaya standing over the cot touching his child's cheek.

The raven looked to Shizuo before blushing heavily, he picked up his daughter and kissed her forehead, "Was it a bad dream?" He asked her softly patting her head. He walked past Shizuo and headed down the stairs to find that his house was clean again and Mikado filling his fridge, freezer and cupboard with food. He walked over so the sink and made Yumi a bottle of milk and took a seat on the couch beside Masaomi and fed his daughter.

"Who was that?"

"That was Natsume...she was my wife,"

"Why'd you marry her though you were erm..." Shizuo paused.

"Dunno. I just did. And it wasn't like I was going to erm...it wouldn't work out," He stuttered trying to keep his secret from the two boys.

"Want to fill us in,"

"Na. Too much effort. Anyway the marriage is off. The good news is that she had Yumi and didn't sign her name on the papers so she's all mine," Izaya lifted his daughter and sucked on her his daughters cheek. "Daddy is so greedy. I'm not sharing my little girl with anyone," he laughed as he heard his own daughter laugh as well. He brought Yumi in for a hug and lifted his legs up and put them over Shizuo who sat beside him.

Masaomi asked to watch a movie as a group as he saw one that looked pretty good. Izaya sat beside Shizuo and could only look at his face. He was beautiful. He watched as his desire of affection turned to face him with mocha eyes and only frowned when he realised that he was being stared at.

Izaya blushed then saw that it was getting some what late. He stood up with Yumi and changed her into a pink one piece. He brought her down again and cuddled into her body, she again was babbling to her daddy happily, talking about what ever.

Shizuo could only laugh at how cute she was. She was so beautiful, "Go to sleep. You," Izaya pressed his head against her forehead and felt her hands go onto his cheeks. He looked up and saw her smiling face.

"Come on. Let's go to sleep," he snuggled into Shizuo's arm and closed his eyes. Yumi laughed and was brought into her daddies arm and was cradled.

"We still need to talk. Don't sleep,"

"I figured. Rip the bandage of nicely will ya," Shizuo laughed then shook his head.

"I'm not going to hurt you...don't worry," Izaya nodded then looked to see that his daughter was peacefully asleep in his arms. The male bent down and kissed her lips.

"It's getting late," Masaomi yawned.

"It's it past the leader of the yellow scarfs and dollars bed time?" He laughed.

"We have school tomorrow sadly," Kida stood up. Izaya handed his child to Shizuo then went over to his jacket and pulled out his phone.

"Hi, I'm looking for a taxi...to this address please," Izaya went into his wallet and pulled out cab fair for the two.

"Keep the change. It will be a thank you for babysitting and buying in food and here," Izaya handed over a ¥3000 bill to both of them.

"That's my thank you," He smiled. Kida thanked the male then gave him a large hug before heading down the stairs with his friend.

Izaya turned to Shizuo and took his child and headed up the stairs with her and put her into her bed. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching her sleep peacefully, "Izaya," The blonde called. He sat beside him on the bed and put an arm around his waist.

"How long...how long have you felt this way towards me?" He asked quietly looking at the males daughter.

"Since I was 16. At the time I didn't understand it...why I had such dreams of you and it frustrated me so I took my frustration out on you so I wouldn't wake up and be hard," He whispered quietly. "Then when I finally understood it was too late. You hated me. I continued to do horrid things to you, so that you'd have someone to think about and you'd run over to see me. That's what I settled for,"

"Izaya," The male turned and felt a pair of lips against his. He was pushed back and felt Shizuo straddle his hips. He felt a warm tongue lick at his bottom lip and slowly Izaya gave in and let him explore.

"I have loved you since then...that's why I lashed out the first time. I was getting hard and I didn't understand why then when I figured out...you were so set on hating me that I just settled for it. You seemed to love getting chased so I chased you. The way you laughed and it seemed like you were having fun made me feel better," Izaya smiled then kissed him again.

He moved up the bed so they weren't lying on the edge and kissed Shizuo's neck softly unbuttoning his shirt and kissing his belly softly and licking the hot flesh.

...
Izaya woke up at three in the morning to the sound of his daughter gurgling. He turned to see a sleeping Shizuo. He smiled then stood up slowly, feeling a shooting pain in his back and hips. He put a pair of boxers on and picked up his daughter and headed into her nursery. He changed her nappy knowing that she had already been and gave her another bottle down the stairs.

He heard footsteps and turned to see Shizuo walking down the stairs completely nude. He walked over to Izaya who was sitting on the couch holding his daughter as she drank her warm milk.

"I didn't hear her cry," he stated sitting down beside him.

"She always cries at the same time, so I've adapted a few minutes earlier so she doesn't," he smiled then looked to Shizuo's naked body. He went red in the face as he saw his groin.

"Why are you going all red? You've seen it already," Izaya nodded his head then looked to his daughter who was happily sucking on a bottle.

"That's probably the first time, I've felt so good having sex and had such a good orgasm," he smiled then looked to Shizuo.

"That was my erm first time," he blushed nervously. Izaya smiled then stood up, put the bottle into the sink then headed up the stairs with Shizuo following behind.

"I'm glad that I was your first. You're really good," Izaya complimented as he sat down his daughter, gave her a light kiss on the forehead then crawled into bed with Shizuo.

Izaya was walking around Ikebokuro with Yumi in her buggy. She was sitting up and was facing away from him as they walked around the town, "Daddy still has to work regardless...but Daddy'll make sure that you are safe," he sighed as he stalked a male in red.

The raven sighed as he watched the male he was following to kiss another woman and he quickly tapped some information into his phone then walked away. Izaya bumped into Tom by mistake and watched as he pushed the buggy off his foot. Yumi fell back and hit her head against the rim and began to cry heavily.

"You'll pay for that," Izaya hissed running to his daughters aid and picking her up and holding her as she cried. He rubbed her little head slowly and ran circles into her back as he bounced up and down and she shrieked.

Shizuo walked over to Izaya and patted the girls head, "What happened?" He asked touching her cheek.

"I accidentally bumped into Tom here and he pushed the buggy back and she hit her head against the side," Izaya gritted his teeth then kicked Tom in the groin. "That's for hurting my girl, you dumb ass," he hissed again. Shizuo turned to Tom and shook his head.

"I was going to see Shinra...are you wanting to come...you're finished aren't ya?" Shizuo nodded and went behind the buggy and pushed it towards Shinra's while Izaya cuddled his little girl as she whimpered.

"What happened to her?" Izaya turned to see Kida with Anri. He glared at the girl and watched as his daughter sprung out his arms and went to Kida who happily gave her kisses and patted her back.

"She hit her head on the pram," Anri went to touch the child but watched as Izaya stepped in.

"You don't touch my child," He hissed and pushed her away. Izaya turned to see that his daughter was peaceful again and was babbling to Kida, most likely about what happened. Kida only nodded his head as she spoke incoherently.

"Where's Mikado?" Izaya asked as he took his child back whispering traitor to her and received a giggle and a slap on the cheek by his daughter.

"He's working," Izaya nodded then said good bye to the male before walking with Shizou to their friends house.

The two made their way up the steps and knocked on the door. Shinra opened the door and lit up when he saw his friends standing with a smile. The under ground doctor saw the girl and held his hands out, "Celty! Oh Celty," the three were allowed in and Izaya took a seat on the couch and kissed his daughters hand.

The dullahan walked in and saw Izaya with a child and Shizuo. The female walked over and saw that Izaya was playing with the girl, "He is such a meanie hurting my baby," he kissed her cheek again and watched as Shinra walked over.

"You had a child...ohhh. May I?" Izaya nodded and gave his daughter over to the male who sat her on her knee.

"BDAAAA!" Yumi screamed and held out her hands for her daddy. Izaya took her back and kissed her cheek.

"What a racket. That's Shinra. Daddies friend," The girl cried more and felt a hand on her back. She looked up to her daddy and gave him a lick on the cheek.

"Who's her mother,"

"Natsume," He sighed leaning back. "She's left me...I'm not upset about that. I have someone else in my life...I'm just angry at her for kicking me out the house," Izaya sighed and lifted his child in the air and kissed her cheek.

"Who have you got now?" Shinra asked with curiously. Izaya smiled and pointed to Shizuo with a smile.

"We're dating now," he grinned with a smile.

"So you told him the truth then?" Izaya nodded his head and watched as Shinra smiled and then put the kettle on.

"What are you talking about Shinra?" Shizou asked looking to his friend who only grinned.

"Izaya told me a while back that he was in love with you. When I tried to hook you up together, everything went into chaos," He laughed. Shizuo grinned then leaned in for a kiss. Izaya happily gave him the kiss then heard a gasp.

They turned to see Mikado, Anri and Masaomi standing in shock, "Hey you two," Izaya laughed going bright red. He didn't recognise Anri's existence.

"Izaya there's three of them," Shizuo hissed. Izaya shook his head slowly then lifted Yumi up and kissed her cheek.

"There is only two," Shizuo sighed then took his lovers hand and brought him in closer. Masaomi laughed then looked to Izaya.

"So I'm gonna assume that last night was magical,"

"Hell yeah," Izaya laughed with a slightly red face remembering the wonderful night.

"So want to tell me why Natsume left you?" Izaya handed his kid over to Shizuo and brought Kida onto his knee.

"You want me to tell you?" Kida nodded his head. "It's grown up stuff," Kida nodded his head again. "When I had sex with Natsume I moaned out Shizou's name and she caught me masturbating to him," he whispered into his ear. "Tell 'her' that and I'll rip your ear off," Kida knew he was referring to the booby-licious girl that stood behind.

"That could kill a marriage," Izaya laughed nodding his head.

"Girls don't seem to like that for some reason," Kida laughed and saw the bags under Izaya's eyes. He touched his cheek and smiled.

"If you need me to babysit any time. I will. If you want to get some sleep or have a nice night. I'll baby sit for you," Izaya nodded his head then wrapped his arms around Kida.

"It's been nice without you, what have you been doing?"

"Dealing with my Natsume's pregnancy and raising my baby," Shizuo hissed under his breath then played with Yumi's chubby arms.

"When did you tell her about that thing," Izaya sighed then looked to his angry lover.

"Two days ago. That's when she caught me. She kicked me out after and said that she was leaving me," Izaya looked to his daughter who was blowing bubbles with her spit. Shizuo looked uncomfortable with her. Izaya took his child back while pushing Kida off of his knee.

The door opened again and Izaya's face dropped as he saw the excitement in Yumi. He lifted her up and allowed her to be taken from him, "She needs mummy's milk not random bottles," Shizuo stood up and took a seat beside Celty while Natsume sat beside her ex.

"I can't believe you'd do this to me and her," The woman sighed as she un-did her top and lifted her bra up. Izaya leaned back on the couch and looked to Shizuo who looked pretty much pissed off. Izaya smiled at him then turned to his daughter who was reaching out for him. He took her hand and gently shook it.

"Listen...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this,"

"What, falling for me or getting caught,"

"I have a beautiful daughter that I'd never trade in. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I shouldn't have proposed to you I guess but if I couldn't have Shizuo's, I'd have you," Izaya whispered to her. Natsume looked over to Izaya with tears in her eyes.

"I love you...but I'm your second choice. If you ever want to let loose, come find me. Mummies and daddies do that," Izaya nodded his head but was never going to take her up on that. He had Shizuo and though they only had done it once, he was contempt with the male and was happy to be with him.

"Yeah what ever," Izaya deadpanned. He was never going to get with her again. Natsume unlatched Yumi from her breast and brought her in for a cuddle but the screamed. Izaya took the sad girl and held her close to his body. The girl happily shut up and closed her eyes against her dad's chest.

"See you Yumi," the ginger stood up and kissed Izaya on the lips, which he kindly returned but it wasn't of lust, it was of a friendship. Izaya sat back on the couch and sighed.

"Daddy messed up," he whispered to his sleeping child then brought Shizuo back over to his side. He rested his head against his shoulder.

"Don't mind her. She still means a lot to me," Shizuo nodded his head. He was happy that his friend and new lover were going to stay in good terms. He didn't want that precious child to get hurt from the hatred most divorced couples feel. The kid would feel like that they have no where to go and it's their fault they argue.

Shizuo looked to Izaya and his daughter with a smile. He wanted to be a big part of the child's life even if it was just a big brother. He wanted to be with them both and support them.
