Hi! I've been very sick lately, so I've missed a lot of school. I decided instead of lying here waiting for good or bad news and wallowing in my own self-pity, (Lol) I'd write a chapter to make you guys happy! Making others happy besides me is something I love to do, so here's a chapter; hope it brightens someone's day!

This chapter is set a year after Riko's wedding. It's short because it's more like a prologue to the next chapter.

Enjoy~!

-Chapter 3-

Onodera tidied up the living room of his house. (Well, their house.) He picked up finished books on the coffee table and placed them neatly on the bookshelf. Straightening manuscripts in a neat pile on the table, he sighed and stretched. Bones and joints popped as he groaned.

His tyrant of a boyfriend was still at the office in a meeting, leaving Onodera with some peace for once. But he was already lonely, though he would never admit that to Takano. He looked at the clock hanging in the kitchen.

"It's only six-thirty. It took just fifteen minutes to straighten the apartment up," Onodera chuckled a little. He knew if he was still living alone in his own apartment, it would take days to clean.

Deciding to make dinner, he headed towards the kitchen before he heard a knock on the door. He frowned because he wasn't expecting anyone and Takano would just walk in.

"Coming!" Onodera called as he walked towards the door. As he opened it, his eyes widened at the person who stood before him.

"Nii-chan!"

"Riko!" Onodera gasped and ushered her in. She beamed as she walked in and hugged him when he closed the door.

"Riko, what're you doing here? Is something wrong in England? How's Tamo-chan?"

"Whoa, calm down Ritsu. Everything's fine! I'm here in Japan for a couple days because I'm finally inheriting the company, but I'm going to run it from England."

"Really? That's great Riko, finally! Mom finally approved?"

"Well yeah, she would have to anyway. Besides, I don't need her approval. Where's Takano-san?" Riko looked around, searching for the usual smirking dark-haired man.

"He's still at the office in a meeting. Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"Ah I'm sorry Nii-chan, I can't. I only stopped by to say hi and," Riko smiled mischievously and giggled, "tell you something quite shocking."

"What?" Onodera, honestly, was a bit scared of what she wanted to share. He was not expecting the next sentence though.

Riko leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "I'm pregnant!"

"EEEHHHHHHH?!"

"Tadaima!" Takano called as he kicked his shoes off in the genkan. He sighed, rubbing his temples. He still had a raging headache from the meeting.

"Those idiots never listen," Takano grumbled as he hung up his coat.

"Okaeri Masamune~!" Onodera replied from the kitchen. He sounded strangely happy to Takano. He walked in to see his lover smiling like a goof while washing dishes. He hummed as he scrubbed his plate clean.

"Ritsu?"

"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Onodera looked up to see his boyfriend's slightly concerned face.

"Why are you so…happy?"

"Wha-Oh!" Ritsu giggled a little and cheered, "I'm going to be an uncle!"

"An uncle?"

Haha, I told you it was a surprise! Riko's having a baby! :D Ritsu was a bit OOC at the end, wasn't he?

Sorry if this chapter was bad; I'm not satisfied with it. I knew what I wanted for this chapter; I just didn't know how to put it down. Ugh, I hate being sick.

There will be ONE MORE CHAPTER!

See you next chapter~! :)

(Btw, I dare you to go listen to Spring Day, Cherry Blossoms, and You by Epitone Project.)
