Izaya was walking back to his apartment, with an annoyed expression. As ikebukuro's residents been staring the shit out of him.
"It wouldn't be long before rumours spread" he sighed as he saw people whispering to each other.
Well, the focus of attention wasn't entirely him rather a tiny creature holding his hand was.
The little girl was walking with him, her small hand was curved around his finger tightly. She looked up at him with a big smile.
"What are you smiling about? Are you not aware of the trouble I am in because of you?" He mumbled to himself.
Should have taken a cab we're attracting too much attention for my comfort.
The little girl's steps became slower as she started huffing, izaya noticed it and halted his movements.
"Tired already are we? We still have a long way to go, I'll carry you I guess"
with that Izaya leaned forward and picked the little girl up, easily carry her with one arm he continued his way back.
"My, you're really light" Izaya said looking at the girl in his arms who only giggled in response.
Thou this way they attracted more attention.
"I hope I don't bump into someone I know, it'll be a very awkward to explain why I suddenly have a daughter, I can't dismiss it as babysitting my cousin's child or something like come on the great orihara izaya babysitting a child, nope not happening" Izaya said shaking his head.
And as if the satan heard Izaya's call. A trash can sped fast him inches away from hitting him.
Great. Of all the people in this city. You choose him. to pop up right now.
"I am not in the mood to play with him currently, can't a guy just peacefully go home?"
"As much as I'd like to see his expression of seeing me with a child, now is not the time"
He hid the little girl inside his jacket and turned to face the angry fake blonde thundering towards him with a street sigh in his hands.
"Haven't your mother taught you that it's rude to hit people who are just passing by"
"Shut up, you flea! I'll kill you" shizuo said getting to throw the sign at Izaya till he noticed something.
Izaya noticed shizuo's stared and Said "change of heart? I thought you were gonna kill me?"
"Oi flea... are you like... pregnant?" Shizuo said lowering his weapon and pointing at Izaya.
Izaya's smirking face fell as he realized he shoved a child in his jacket.
which from the outside any normal person would think he just put up some weight. But apparently a certain someone has other ideas in his mind.
A vein popped on izaya's head but he still remained calm and gave shizuo a smile which meant I'll fucking kill you.
Using shizuo's confusion or stupidity izaya used this chance to get away from him running as fast as he can.
Shizuo stood there confused by that appearance of his arch nemesis but shrugged it off thinking
"Can fleas get pregnant?" Shizuo said as Tom walked up in hopes to calm him down but rather he gave shizuo a wtf look.

Izaya finally reached his apartment his opened and stepped inside, namie was standing near one of the many bookshelves in his apartment looking at him as she heard the door open.
She look at Izaya with the same blank look she gives him everyday but then noticed something different around Izaya's arm. It was holding a little girl who was smiling up at Izaya.
Izaya noticed namie's stare at the child and Said. "Don't ask. I don't even know myself" with that he took off his jacket and threw it on the couch and put the girl down on it too.
At first namie thought her boss have kidnapped a child or something but taking a closer look to girl's face she dismissed those thoughts.
The little girl had a shocking resemblance to izaya, same colour of eyes. Same raven hair she looked like a mini version of Izaya.
A relative maybe? It can't be his kid... right? Shaking her head she dismissed the thought.
- - - - -
Who's kid is that? Namie asked to izaya who just got back from the kitchen with a water bottle in his hand, drinking from it.
"Kid? Oh her, she's mine" izaya replied casually taking a sip from the bottle.
"Oh, so she's yours- wait what?!" Namie's eyes widen in surprise as she heard her boss.
"Geez, no need to yell. You'll wake her up" Izaya said pointing to the bundle of blanket curled up on his couch.
"Can you please elaborate, the curiosity is eating me up" namie said waiting for her boss to reply.
"I don't really know myself but it happened like this"
izaya reached her office.
"well here it goes a quick visit and i go~"
little did he know that visit was going to change his life forever.
Izaya knocked twice and went in As soon izaya entered he saw a middle aged woman with blonde hair sitting behind a wooden desk, but to his surprise there also was a child.
The woman looked at him with a smile, " ? I have been waiting for you"
"Ah yes, now may I ask why was I called here?" Izaya said as he sat down in one of the chairs in front of her desk.
"It might come as a shock to you this is probably going to sound crazy, Mr. Orihara, so I'd like to ask you a few questions to prepare you." The woman sounded a little flustered herself.
"I'm not easily flustered, Ms. Millers" izaya said raising an eyebrow.
Izaya was starting to get irritated as the woman looked like she was about confess her dirty secrets in the church.
Well, prepare to be enlightened. Do you remember anything from approximately 2 years ago?"
"I Remember being twenty two? What's this about?"
"Well, this is going to be quite a shock to you, Mr. Orihara, but I have someone here you might like to meet"
"Oh really? Is that so? And who is this mystery person?" Izaya started feeling a sense of excitement.
"W-well... this young lady here is your daughter..." she pointed to the child sitting next to Izaya.
"I am sorry, what?" Izaya Said as he looked at the child who was wearing a hooded jacket.
The child looked at him with the same auburn eyes as him, their eyes locked. she was staring at him with innocent yet curious eyes.
Izaya froze in his spot and sighed lowly, putting his thumb and finger on the inside of his eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose with a troubled expression.
"It is true, sir" the woman replied handing him a glass of water.
"Where's the mother? I would like to have a chat with her" Izaya asked after a long pause. Though his expression frighten the woman in front of him.
"Th-th-there's no need for that... It's actually impossible... The mother is dead."
"Tch" was all Izaya said as he still was trying figure out his situation currently.
He stare at the child next to him and she stared back, soon both were in a staring contest neither backing down.
"Also there is something else too..." the woman said to Izaya.
"What now? Another shocking news?" Izaya asked clearly now fully irritated.
You see.. Mr orihara... we'd put her in orphanage but then we found out that her father was still alive, judging by your reaction. You had no idea about this child, but since You are the father you will have to take responsibility of her.
"Responsibility? What if I just put her for adoption?"
"I am afraid you won't be able to ,at least not for an year.
