Ran slowly opens the door to the agency feeling Conan tightly gripping her hand. She hears the loud yell fill the house "YOKO-CHAN!" Kogoro yell letting out a few whistles, eyes glued to the T.V. Conan sees Ran's eyes twitch slightly from anger and he quickly wraps both of his small hands around one of hers. Ran sighs and squeezes his hand before pulling him in front of the T.V. "Ack Ran what are you doing!" Kogoro says leaning left and right trying to see around her. Ran hits the power button on the T.V causing the screen to go black "Otou-san I need to talk to you." Ran says in a small voice.
"Can't it wait until Yoko-chan is over?" he whines. Ran shakes her head and looks down at Conan with hesitant eyes. Conan blushes lightly and presses a kiss to the back of her hand. Ran blushes brightly and squeezes his hand. "What makes you think you could kiss her hand like that brat?" Kogoro yells. "Maybe the fact that she's carrying my child." He mumbles low enough that Kogoro can't catch it, but enough for Ran to let out a small giggle. "Ran what did you want to tell me and make it quick or I'll miss Yoko-chan?" Kogoro asks.
Ran feels tears of anger and sadness fill her eyes "Do you not even care that I'm going to have a baby in five months!" she yells in frustration. Kogoro slowly comprehends the words his eyes widen and then he does something that sends Conan and Ran aback; he laughs. "This is a joke right? Playing a prank on the great detective Mouri Kogoro!" he laughs "right Ran?" Ran doesn't answer her eyes downcast to the ground. His laughter slowly dies out into a demanding and serious expression "Ran!" he yells wanting an answer. The mere tone of his voice causes large tears to pool at the corner of her eyes threatening to spill over. "She's pregnant." Conan whispers. Kogoro's eyes widen and his face flushed with anger "your what?" he yells at her. "I'm pregnant" she confirms in a teary voice. "Who's the father? I bet it's that boy from a few days ago on that case! He kept looking at you like you were a piece of meat!" Ran shakes her head slightly offended, but before she can speak Conan interrupts "Wait what guy?" he says looking up at her eyebrows furrowed. "No one." She assures. "Ran the father!" Kogoro demands. "It's Shinichi." She says in a broken voice.
Kogoro looks as if someone had smacked him across the face "That detective brat?" he mumbles shocked. Ran nods "why are you so surprised?" she says quietly. Kogoro lets out a breathless laugh "He may be a stupid detective brat, but I did trust him with you. I figured if anyone would ever be able to take care you in the future it'd be him, but I guess I was wrong considering he got you pregnant and left." Kogoro spits.
"You're wrong" Conan says in a firm voice "Shinichi-niisan loves Ran-neechan more than anything in this world. Shinichi-niisan thinks the world of Ran-neechan and knows she's strong and can do this but, she'll never be alone as long as he's alive. Shinichi-niisan is going to pay for everything and take care of her." Conan smiles and softly says "He's also really excited to be a dad and he knows their baby is very lucky because he's going to have an utterly amazing mother." Ran gasps softly in awe and kneels down wrapping Conan in a tight hug laying her head on his shoulder "I love you too." She whispers to him. Conan gently touches her hair. Kogoro lets out a frustrated sigh and gets up "I'm going out." He grumbles pulling his coat on as he leaves the agency slamming the door behind him. Conan feels Ran's form shake with sobs in his arms. Conan gently pushes her away guiding her to her room, knowing she was going to cry herself out and be exhausted after.
Conan and Ran sit on her bed, Conan holding her as she cries her eyes out. He rocks her slowly in his arms rubbing soothing circles on her back. Conan presses his forehead to her shoulder "I'm so sorry Ran. I made you throw away your future because of one stupid night."
Suddenly Ran pushes him back "Stupid?" she says voice full of hurt "Do you realize that night was the best and most important night of my life and I was hoping it was yours too, but you think it was stupid." Conan reaches out for her "Ran I…" Ran jerks away and lies down on her bed curling up on her side yanking the covers over herself. Conan sits on the edge of the bed watching sadly as the girl he loves cries her kind heart out with her back turned to him. Conan gently lays a hand on her side stroking it softly "Ran listen, I didn't mean that. That night…" He pauses slightly and his voice becoming softer "it was also important to me too. We may have lost something but we gained something so much better; a claim to each other." Ran sniffles "a claim?" He nods slowly lying down next to her placing a small hand on her stomach from behind "We belong to each other now. Your mine and I'm yours and this little miracle…" he says stroking her stomach "has a little of both of us. Our baby is going to have bright blue eyes and hopefully your chocolate brown locks" he whispers to her tucking her hair behind her ear.
Suddenly Ran gasps sitting straight up in bed cradling her stomach "Shinichi something's wrong." Conan quickly sits up placing a hand on her stomach "What's wrong? Does something hurt?" he asks worriedly. Ran guides his hand to the bottom of her stomach "Something keeps hitting me from the inside." She says worriedly with frightened tears in her eyes. Conan puts slight pressure on her stomach and his eyes widen as he feels the soft tap on his palm. He lets out a laugh and smiles at her "Ran the baby's kicking."
Ran's eyes widen "K-kicking?" He nods with a soft smile and guides her hand to her stomach "See? Can you feel it on your hand?" Ran giggles softly at the feeling this being her first real connection with the child. Sure she had sonogram pictures and hearing the small heartbeat over machines in the hospital, but this was completely different. She could feel the baby moving inside her proving this was real and she couldn't help but smile in love but deep down it scared her. She knew she'd love the baby, but the future for the baby and all the pain of the birth scared her.
Ran looks down seeing the proud loving smile of the father to be as he caresses her slightly swollen belly and all the fear disappears. She knew she had him and that he'd always be there for her no matter what. She knew just from looking into his eyes that he loved both of them more than anything and there's no way this baby could have a better father then him, even if he was caught up in a 'little' situation right now. Conan looks up at her with that gentle smile that causes her to see through those thick black rims and into the Shinichi's azure orbs. Without thinking she leans down giving him a quick chaste kiss that was nothing more than their lips touching, but it was enough to feel the amazing sensation they had missed out on over the last few months.
Ran quickly pulls back pink blooming on her cheeks. "You kissed me…" he mumbles touching his lips with red cheeks. Ran looks down cheeks still red "I thought you'd like my thank you gift for being there for me and our baby. It's not like I'm going to kiss you a lot when you're Conan so I thought you would like it." She says facing becoming sadder with every word. Conan quickly picks up on her growing sadness and places a small hand over hers "Baaro, of course I liked it. I haven't gotten to kiss you in a while either, not since the night our little one came along." Conan chuckles lightly as Ran's cheeks light up "Hey don't laugh it's embarrassing!" she half squeals. He simply smiles pulling her to him resting his chin on her shoulder while his small arms wrap around her waist the best he can. Ran gives him a small squeeze before letting him go and looks at her watch "Ah it's almost six o'clock. Shinichi what would you like for dinner?" She asks smiling a little. Conan blushes looking down "A-anything is fine."
Ran blinks confused "Why are you blushing?" Conan turns his head to hide his blush "We sound like husband and wife" he mumbles barely audible. Ran catches it and smiles kissing his forehead with a light chuckle "We're having a baby; I don't think it can get any more like a married couple then that." He laughs lightly holding her hand as she gets off the bed "Love you Ran." He says letting her hand go as she heads to the kitchen "Love you too." She calls.

I'm sooo sorry it took so long to update. My friend wanted to try her hand at writing a fanfic and I helped her write the first chapter, but I'm not sure if she wants to continue, so I'll be taking the story for a while. That does mean MUCH quicker updates though. Again apologies for the wait T-T
Thank you reading! Please Review!
