"Akihito."
"Nnngh."
"Akihito!"
"What?" the boy hissed groggily as he raised his disheveled head from the bed to look at Asami through sleepy eyes. He leveled his best groggy/angry glare at the man for disrupting his beauty sleep so early in the morning.
"My private Doctor will be here today for a check up so don't go anywhere without my permission, understood?"
"Bastard," Akihito mumbled before placing his head back on the soft pillow and slowly drifting back into never land. Akihito was curled in a fetal position so as to not put pressure on the baby in his womb.
Asami had turned to leave but took a thoughtful look at his lover, the bearer of his children (Yes children, he'd make sure of it). He smirked, never imagining he would put little Asami and Akihito in the same sentence. He was a little bemused at first at the news Akihito was pregnant, and with his child, but looking back he realized he had probably shown Akihito more care in the past 3 months than in the two years they've been together. He didn't know if it was anticipation or genuine excitement he felt at the idea of the man he had fallen for carrying a child, HIS child inside him.
Asami had gotten dressed for work at five in the morning and had made sure to tell Akihito to expect his Doctor. He headed out the door and gave both his bodyguards strict warning to keep a sharp eye on Takaba, pregnancy only made him more restless. He made his way to his waiting limo at the front of the apartment, getting in before heading straight for Club Sion.

"Takaba-san,"
tap! tap!
"Takaba-san."
The darkness in Akihito's mind was invaded by a light tapping noise and the calling of his name.
'I swear, I'll kill every one of them for disrupting my sleep,' he swore inwardly while he slowly got up from the bed. He could make out Suoh's voice calling him as the tapping continued.
"CAN'T YOU GODDAMN WAIT?" he shouted before stealing a quick glance at the digital clock by the bed while he threw the covers off his body. It read 8 am and he stormed to the door and yanked it open, shooting daggers at the bodyguard on the other side.
"Asami keeps a 9mm semi automatic pistol in a shoebox in the closet, disrupt my sleep again and you won't live to regret it," the youth snarled and Suoh took a step back from the evil gleam in Akihito's eyes.
The man bowed and Akihito noticed the Doctor behind him, a slight smile on the man's face.
"Takaba-san, this is Dr Shiko, he'll be the one to give you prenatal care," Suoh said while he kept his head bowed.
Akihito looked at the Doctor menacingly, who had a small smile on his face, causing him to become angrier that someone else was NOT having a bad day too.
"Hello Takaba-san," the Doctor greeted and Akihito growled.
"Lets get this over with," he muttered before going over to the living room couch.
The Doctor opened his black bag and took out a measuring tape. He placed it from the top of Akihito's belly down to the area above his pelvis, measuring in centimeters how much Akihito's stomach had grown over the past 14 weeks, he informed the boy his linea nigra had appeared. The boy didn't know what that was and he explained it's a dark line running down the centre of his abdomen.
Takaba squirmed slightly because the area was sensitive from the constant licks he got from Asami the night before in that same spot.
"Fifteen inches, my, you're a little large," the Doctor replied casually.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Akihito asked while he glared suspiciously at the man before him.
"Nothing Takaba-san, I'll schedule a ultrasound for the next two weeks so you can better know your baby's condition and sex," the Doctor replied with a sly smile.
'God he's irritating,' Akihito thought and the Doctor scribbled his finding on a little blue card.
"What's that?" Akihito asked as he looked at the card in the man's hand.
"Oh this? its your maternal card, whenever time I visit I'll record my findings on this card for your reference," the Doctor said and Akihito made an 'oh' sound. The Doctor then measured his blood pressure and wrote 110/70 on the card, letting him know his pressure was ok. The Doctor then took a sample of blood to test his level of hemoglobin and serology . He then listened for a fetal heartbeat, placing the stethoscope on his abdomen. He saw the Doctor move it around on his stomach a little before the man gasped.
"What is it?" he asked in a fearful voice as the Doctor looked at him.
"There's two heartbeats," the man replied and it was Akihito's turn to gasp. His hazel eyes widened at the news that he might be having twins and only one person came into his mind, Asami.
"Shit, you've got to be kidding, maybe they'll be the equivalent of the doublemint twins? I'll hope their sweet," Takaba said sarcastically, trying to hide the tears threatening to spill from the corner of his eyes. He held his stomach as he got up from the couch, making his way over to the house phone and dialing Asami's number.
***************VF*******************
Asami stood before the figure doubled over in pain on the cold floor in the lower levels of Club Sion. The man's dark hair was matted with blood and he coughed and spat up blood. Asami looked disdainfully down at the man before him.
"Tell me Itou-san, why did you try to steal from me?" Asami asked in a cold voice. The man begged, pleaded for Asami to spare him, but goldeneye would have none of that.
"Spineless piece of shit!" he said and gave the man a hard kick to the face, causing him to fall to floor unconscious.
"Muraki," he called.
"Yes Asami-sama."
"Get this piece of garbage out of my sight and make sure he never uses those hands to steal again," Asami instructed while he reached for a cancer stick in his breast pocket.
"Yes Asami-sama," Muraki replied and Asami turned to leave the heated room with the stench of blood as Muraki dragged the figure away.
Asami was pissed! Extremely livid. He couldn't believe his most trusted accountant tried to swindle him out of eight million yen. Serves the bastard right, he thought to himself. He sat at his desk going over the reports of the man's treachery when his phone rang.
"ASAMI!" Akihito shouted before the man could greet him over the phone, "Guess what?" he asked and Asami chuckled, whatever it was that got the boy excited was making him sound really happy, not the usual moody Takaba he's become accustomed to.
"What is it Akihito?" he asked with a hint of amusement.
"I'M HAVING TWINS!" he shouted hysterically and Asami couldn't help the short wave of shock that gripped his features.
"Twins?" the older man asked, amused.
"Asami, that means one of us has twins in the family, I'm so excited, if it's girls I'll buy the cutest pair of pink dresses and barbie, and if it's boys I'll buy great toys and send our kids to a great school and they'll have everything," and the boy went on and on and on.
Asami rubbed the bridge of his nose, it's not like he never wanted to appease Akihito but he got over the initial shock and remembered he was not in a good mood. He listened to the boy chatter away about possible futures for their kids and he was becoming restless.
"Asami, Are you listening to me?" Akihito asked after he realized he barely heard a word from the other.
"Mh?" Asami asked and Akihito took it to mean Asami wasn't paying attention to him. "You fucking bastard!" the boy screamed and Asami had to move the phone from his ear.
"I hate you!"
"Akihito."
"I'm moving the fuck out! I'm getting my things and moving OUT! OUT! OUT!" the boy screamed before hanging up the phone.
Asami dialed his secretary the same time, "Get the car ready now!" he growled before making his way down to the awaiting car. He smoked a cigar as he pulled into his private garage moments later, walking briskly so he could hurry to his apartment.
****************VF******************
Doctor Shiko had listened while Akihito chatted with Asami and the boy seemed genuinely happy and joyful before it took an ugly twist. He heard the boy screaming expletives, becoming really angry and he knew he and his babies were in danger. He could inadvertently raise his blood pressure and cause harm to them all. After the boy had slammed the phone down he saw Akihito clutch his side. He made his way quickly over to Akihito as he fell to one knee, panting and gasping.
"Takaba-san," he said as he managed to catch the boy before he hit the ground, his face contorted in pain. Miname-san was about to enter with the boy's snack when she heard the commotion. The tray of food fell from her hands as she took in her boss's lover on the floor, obviously in pain.
"Get my bag, quick!" Doctor Shiko shouted and she hurriedly brought the bag over, fear and worry in her eyes.
"Hold on Takaba-san," he said as he injected an organic sedative in Akihito's arm. Akihito's breathing slowly calmed down and his eyes became unfocused before he drifted into sleep.
****************VF********************
Asami entered the apartment, expecting to see a yelling and ranting Akihito, instead he was greeted with silence. His heart rate sped up at the thought of Akihito not being there and he quickly made his way to the bedroom. Entering said room he noticed what had happened.
"Did you do something to him?" Asami growled as he leveled a murderous glare at the Doctor, inching closer to the man like a tiger about to corner its prey. Akihito was soundly asleep on the bed and he wondered why the Doctor was in his bedroom with him, was he trying something?
"Relax," the Doctor said as he turned his gaze back to the sleeping figure. "His blood pressure went up and I had to sedate him to prevent further damage after he talked with you," the Doctor explained and Asami immediately felt his heart sink, but he kept up his cold unreadable expression.
"Thank you, now leave," he instructed and the Doctor made a hasty exit, not wanting to be in the man's presence for longer than necessary.
Asami sighed as he ran a hand down his lover's cheek, Akihito was truly a beautiful creature and he had no intention of letting him go, especially now that he was carrying his children, twins at that. Asami didn't know what to do when it came to the photographer anymore. Didn't Akihito understand they came from two completely different worlds? And just like he was willing to compromise for Akihito, he expected the same from him, but Akihito wasn't complying. Akihito had become selfish and even more of a brat than before. He didn't want to hurt Akihito in any way, but he had to let him understand he had become destructive, not only to their unborn children, but to their relationship as well. He sighed, resigning to the idea of having a long chat with Akihito in the morning.
