The Married Life
A/N: I don't own Detective Conan and I never will.
Louie08dvm: The typographical errors are there because English is not my first language. Sometimes I just translate the word I have in Dutch, sometimes that doesn't work to much. I've changed Ai Edogawa-Haibara to Ai Haibara-Edogawa, that was indeed better.
Numbkid: Thanks for the review. Those kind of words motivate me to write more.
Episode 2: Living after the dark
"So are you ready to go home, Conan-kun?" Satou spoke up when she was cleaning up her desk. "We're the last one's remaining, the clock tell's us that it's almost six, so our duty is over for today."
"Yeah, I know." Conan spoke up, he was already packing his things so he could go home.
"So, how's Ai-chan?" Satou asked the younger boy. "Is she doing fine?"
"Well, yeah." Conan said with a smile on his face. "Actually we're trying to make a baby, but it doesn't go that well."
"Oh well," Satou began to respond to Conan. "If you do your best, it assure you it will come someday."
"I know." Conan spoke as he and Satou were ready to leave the building to home, the one goes to Ai-chan and the other to Takagi.
"See you tommorow, Conan-kun." Satou said while waving at the younger boy.
"See you tommorow." he replied to her while he was trying to open his car.
As Conan drives home to his house, he was already thinking about what Ai-chan could have cooked, he was starving and was snacking for food. Finally Conan arrived at his home?
"Hi Ai-chan, I'm home?" Conan shouted with a childish accent in his voice. "What do we have for dinner?"
Ai walked out of the kitchen with, what he could tell, an annoyed look on her face.
"A good afternoon to you to!" her voice was in sync with the look on her voice. "Do you have any, any, any idea what time it is?"
"Ehehehe, about that." Conan gulped, he know that Ai-chan would notice that he was much later than he said this morning. "There was a case, and I just had to finish it today."
"Yeah, right." Ai replied to his, what she thought, lame excuse. After staring at him for a minute, she sighed. "Let's have dinner."
Conan and Ai were enjoying their dinner, when Ai looked up at Conan's face and began to speak.
"You know, Conan." she said in a soft but sweet tone. "Today is the day?"
"What dat?" Conan replied while he was shocked to his bone. "Don't tell me that you are pregnant?"
"What?" Ai asked in disbelieve. "You know that today's the day that we defeated the Organization nine years ago?"
"Nine years already?" Conan mumbled when he changed the subject. "So you're not pregnant?"
"No!" Ai screamed, then her eyes looked down and she began to speak in a sweet tone. "You know, I will never forget that day. The day you saved me from those crooks. And the day we've got together."
Flashback
&& Nine years ago &&
"Give it up, Gin!" Conan screamed while he was trying to point his gun at Gin, but that was difficult because Gin had a hostage, a hostage which he could not afford to lose. "Shut up, little detective." Gin smirked while he pointed his gun at a red-blondish girl. "I know you and Sherry share some time together." "So what!" Conan screamed at the man but he had a little of fear in his voice. "If you hurt her I'll make you suffer your whole life long!" "Heh, I don't know how you and Sherry managed to get to shrink to children again." Gin smirked with his evil face. "But I'll tell you, I don't care. I want to seer her dead face, and if she screams for you I'll send you with her! Only to give her a little company." While Conan was standing in front of Gin, Jodie of the FBI was helping him out with a lot of people he didn't know. They were trying to shoot Gin with a sniper, but that was easier said than done. "I have one thing left to do." Gin spoke up with still his gun on Ai's head. "I have to blow up Sherry. And I let you die together with the one you love." "Shut up, Gin." Ai said scared as hell. "Damn it, kill me, but don't kill him." "I knew it." Gin said while smirking. He bowed his head and licked her cheek. "So that's the boy you love so much? The boy who made you soft and the boy who made a crybaby of her." However something popped up in Conan's head. The thing he did years ago. The day he shoot Ran in her leg so he could save her from the murderer. The same way how Kogoro shot Eri to save her. This was the first time that Gin wasn't paying his attention to the little detective because he was busy with scaring the hell out of Ai. Conan pulled the trigger an was ready to shoot. "Gin." he his voice gave a angry moan. "This is something I have to do. For me and for Haibara." Conan shot Ai in her leg, which caused her to pass out. With this Gin was confused, for the very At that time Jodie appeared and captured Gin. Conan rushed his way to Ai and she regained "Don't worry about it." Conan said in comfort. He got her head up to his chest. "If I didn't meet you there would a lot things be different." Conan got his hand through her hair, caressing through her strawberry blonde hair. "After Ran gave up on me, and all the time we spent together, I couldn't afford to lose you." Ai putted her arms around his head. "Kudo-kun, now that this is all over I want to tell you something." Ai was blushing now and her head was a few inch away from his. "You know, for four years of our life we've been together. I mean you were the detective and I well, I was your parner, and I finally wanted to tel you that... I love you... Kudo-kun." Conan was silent for a moment. Thoughts were going crazy in his mind. What do I have to do? I mean Ran gave up on me 2 years ago, after that I enjoyed being her little brother. Maybe it isn't so bad to have a second childhood with her. I mean every time I see Mitsuhiko with her, I get some kind of feeling, the feeling that I don't like that they spend time together. Does that mean I love her too? No. I'm certain of it, I'm in love with this girl, Ai Haibara or rather Shiho Miyano. Maybe it's for the best, we could at least try it... "Haibara listen." Conan spoke up to her. Haibara's hope of that he would love her back just faded away. The way he started didn't gave her any hope anymore, she felt like she could cry already. "I've been thinking about being together, you know? And the more I think about that, the better I feel. So what I want to say is, that I love you too." It took a while to get this in her head. She was so deep in thought that she didn't hear him immediately. When she finally got his message in her head she widened her eyes. "What did you just say?" Ai asked with the full disbelieve in her eyes. "I said that I love you too." Conan kissed her on her lips, it didn't last very long, but for Ai it felt like it were hours. End flashback
"Kudo-kun, I'm sorry." Ai mumbled with a weak voice. "I really am. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have to go through this."
"Indeed." Ai spoke up to her. "However there was a little nightmare later on. It's something I still can't believe."
"Yeah!" Conan mumbled with a worried voice. "Gin was the most dangerous of them all. Thanks to his lawyer he got the lightest punishment he could get."
"The man was known as the 'lawyer of the devil'." Ai shaked her head and looked down at her plate. "The way he looked at me when he entered the courtroom, he shot me a look that I will never forget. I was so glad that you grabbed my hand to comfort me."
Conan walked up to Ai and picked her up. She then carried her to the couch. He wrapped her arms on her waist. She lay her head next to his.
"I'm so afraid Conan." she spoke up and looked him in her eyes. "So afraid that he'll come back to kill us both. You know he swore that to us."
Flashback "This room is so big." Conan spoke up. "I've seen this kind of things a lot in detectives, but I've never known it was this big." Conan was at the lawsuit of the organization's members. Vermouth however was a undercover agent for a police station somewhere in Japan. Conan and Ai were forced to testify, how much they didn't want to. But many were dissent that Ai and Conan were to deep in this case for kids and that they needed to testify. However their lawyer, Eri Kisaki, had a different thought on that. She thought that she needed to defend her 'adopted son'. Even if she wasn't living with him, he still was the adopted son of Kogoro and the adopted brother of Ran. So she thought of him as her son. Eri could convince the judge that the children were to scared to testify. After speaking with the judge for hours, he finally agreed on that. The declarations from Conan and Ai were included before the lawsuit. "Conan, I'm scared." Ai said while she grabbed his hand. "I'm so scared that they would clarify Gin innocent." "Don't worry about that." Conan spoke to her while he kissed her cheek. "He'll get it's punishment, most likely they'll put him to death." "This is the lawsuit for Gin and Vodka." Conan continued with his story. "The boss of the organization was already put to death. And Vermouth was just an agent on duty." "But, but Co-chan." Ai said that with the most scared voice Conan had ever heard. "Gin has the most evil lawyer ever! He's know as the 'lawyer of the devil'." "Don't worry about it, Ai-chan." Ai heard Ran's voice and shot her head up. "My mother wil make sure that man will get punished for what he did to you and Conan-kun." The lawsuit began. Gin and Vodka did arrive and Gin shot Conan and Ai a nasty and evil look. He moved his lips but there was no sound. But they could tell what he was trying to tell them. 'I'll be back'. The lawsuit was not going to well. However, Eri could get Vodka the punishment he deserved. But Gin was a different story. He got punishment, but not half as much as Conan and Ai thought he would get. The judgment they gave Gin was 12 years of prison. Because everyone Gin had killed was blaimed on Vodka. They only blamed Gin for his gun battle against Conan and Ai. Gin's lawyer said that he didn't know what he could do but that Vodka was trying to let him kill. The judge believed this and the lawsuit was ended. Ai cried, she laid her head on Conan's chest. She just couldn't believe that he was going to survive this. "Conan, please tell me that I'm dreaming." Ai sobbed in his chest. "Tell me that they'll put him to death!" "I'm afraid I can't Ai." Conan placed his hand on her head. "But I'll promise you, he'll never hurt you ever again!" End flashback.
"You know." Ai said to him with a huge smile on her face. "All I have is thanks to you. Thanks to you I have something to life for. Thanks to you I have not to be scared. And thanks to you the organization is gone."
"Everything for my little girl." Conan smiled at her.
Ai got up from his chest and began to talk to the love of her life, "Are you coming to bed?" Ai asked slyly at the boy. "I'm certain that we will be able to make a kid tonight. And if not, then I'll tell you that I want you, now!"
Conan just grinned and followed her upstairs.
So this was the end of this chapter. The inspiration came a little from the second Detective Conan movie that I watched yesterday. The movie where Conan/Kogoro shot on Ran/Eri to save them. I thought it would help out in this to. The plot is little coming, little by little. I'm having a very good idea, but I need to work it out a little, so I thought that this was the ideal way to do some flashbacks. I'm not going to guess the Boss' name so I just simply refer him as Boss who is just putted to death. Nothing special. Well this was the second chapter, please rate and review!
