Watari transformed himself and Tsuzuki back to normal two weeks before


Two months later . . .

Watari was working in his lab when he had the sudden feeling that he was going to be sick. He ran to his private bathroom and threw up everything in his stomach. Watari sat there for a few minutes, waiting for the nauseated feeling to go away. Once it was gone he slowly got up and went to the sink to rinse out his mouth. He hadn't been feeling good for the last week and a half. He seriously hoped he didn't have the flu that Tsuzuki had caught. Watari and Tatsumi had continued their relationship after Watari had changed himself and Tsuzuki back two weeks ago. Tsuzuki and Hisoka had finally moved in together after finally admitting they loved each other. Watari thought about when he was a girl for those six wonderful weeks as he walked through his lab. He and Tatsumi hadn't been able to keep their hands off of each other since that first night. They had had sex everywhere, and anywhere, they could be alone. On the desk in Tatsumi's office, the tables in Watari's lab and so many other places. Unprotected sex. Watari's eyes grew wide at that thought. When he was a girl, he had wondered if that meant he had all the female parts and if he did that mean that he could become . . .

Oh, shit! I've been sick for almost two weeks. Does that mean I could be . . . I could be. . . Oh, lord, what would Seichiro say to that? Oh shit, Suzu could be too! Watari ran out of his lab and went down to medical just to make sure he wasn't freaking out for no reason at all. If he wasn't, the effects could be disastrous for everyone involved.

Tatsumi was sitting at his desk, doing paperwork, when he heard a quiet knock on his office door.

"Come in." he called out and looked up when the knob turned. The door opened and he saw that it was his lover. Watari walked into the room in a daze and Tatsumi smiled when he saw him. He stood up and walked over to him. He grew concerned when Watari just stared at him like he wasn't there.

"Yutaka?" he said when he stopped in front of him.

When he had said Watari's name, it actually looked like his voice had brought Watari out of his daze but not quite. Watari blinked a few times and finally looked at Tatsumi. Tears suddenly welled up in Watari's eyes and spilled down his cheeks. Tatsumi gathered his lover into his arms and held him close.

"What's wrong, Ari? Come on, you can tell me." Tatsumi crooned as he held Watari close to his heart and Watari still didn't say anything. He just pulled out of Tatsumi's arms, shoved a piece of paper into Tatsumi's hands and ran out of his office, crying hysterically. Tatsumi stared at his office door in shock and then looked down at the piece of paper Watari had shoved into his hands. His eyes grew wide when he read what was on the paper and then ran out of the office after Watari.

Watari was lying on the couch in his lab, sobbing. He didn't hear the door to his lab open or feel anyone sit down on the couch next to him. He suddenly felt hands grabbing and pulling at him. Watari tried to pull away but he was enveloped in strong arms and held against a hard male body. He caught the scent of the person holding him. He knew that scent of sandalwood and cinnamon anywhere, it was Tatsumi. He just buried himself in Tatsumi's embrace and cried harder. He just couldn't stop, even with Tatsumi there holding him and trying to console him.

"Shhh, its okay, Ari. I know you're in shock about what they told you when you went to medical. I'm in shock too but we'll get through this together. Shhh, please don't cry anymore, Ari, I can't stand it. Love, please stop." Tatsumi whispered as he rocked him in his arms.

He laid his head down on Watari's and stroked his hair. They sat on the couch like that for a long time. Tatsumi held Watari until his crying slowly subsided to the occasional sniff. Tatsumi sighed as he stroked Watari's golden locks. Apparently, he had gotten Watari pregnant when he was a girl, he didn't know what to make of it. Watari had gotten pregnant before he changed back and when he did change back, he had kept that part of being female. Tatsumi smiled at the thought of having a baby with Watari. Their baby could have the very golden locks he loved so much. Watari sat up in Tatsumi's arms, pulled away a little and wiped his face. He looked up into those cool blue eyes of Tatsumi's.

"Y-You're . . . n-not . . . mad . . . S-Seichiro?" Watari whispered brokenly, silently wishing Tatsumi was overjoyed that they were having a baby. Tatsumi smiled at him, shook his head, and looked deep into those amber eyes he loved.

"No, I'm not mad, Ari. I'm really happy because I'm having a baby with the one person that means the most to me."

"What does that mean, Seichiro?" Watari asked quietly and whispered silently to himself. Please let him say he loves me. Oh, god please let him love me. I'll just die if he doesn't love me. Watari was going to say something else but Tatsumi placed his finger against Watari's lips. Tatsumi placed his hands on either side of Watari's face. He kissed him lightly on the lips and smiled.

"Let me say this while I have the guts. I have had feelings for you for a very long time but I fought against them because you were my friend. It wasn't until you turned yourself into a girl that I realized the depth of my feelings. I admit that that was kind of a messed up way to come to terms with how I felt but, that's just how it happened. I don't care if you're a girl, a guy or whatever. I love you, no matter what, like how Tsuzuki and Hisoka love each other. My love for you goes beyond everything. Do you understand what I mean, Ari?" Tatsumi whispered. Watari nodded his head, went back into Tatsumi's arms and snuggled into him.

Watari whispered against his neck, "I love you too, Seichiro."

Tatsumi felt his heart almost explode from Watari's quiet and simple confession. He sighed and pulled Watari closer to him. They just sat there, on the couch in Watari's lab, with their arms around each other. A few minutes later, a knock sounded on the door of Watari's lab.

"Come in." Watari called out as he pulled himself out of Tatsumi's arms. Hisoka walked into the lab. Watari's eyes grew wide when he saw Hisoka. Hisoka looked over at the couch and his eyes lit up when he saw Tatsumi, who was sitting next to Watari.

"This is where you are, Tatsumi. The chief is looking for you and he says it's important." Hisoka told Tatsumi.

"Kurosaki, please sit down. There's something important we must discuss with you about Tsuzuki, the chief can wait." Tatsumi told him and gestured for him to sit down in the armchair that was next to the couch.

"Sure, Tatsumi, what's up?" Hisoka said in shock as he sat down. He had never heard Tatsumi say anything like that before. It must be serious if Tatsumi was saying that the chief could wait.

"We have reason to believe that Tsuzuki doesn't have the flu and it may be something else entirely." Tatsumi told Hisoka. Hisoka looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

Hisoka shot out of the chair to his feet, "What's wrong with Tsuzuki?"

"Bon?" Watari whispered, "I've been having the same symptoms as Tsuzuki and I don't have the flu, I have something else." Watari looked over at Tatsumi. He could see the determination in Tatsumi's eyes that wanted Hisoka to understand what was going on.

"What is it, Watari? Tatsumi?" Hisoka looked at them accusingly, "Why won't either of you give me a straight answer?"

"Bon, Tsuzuki . . . Tsuzuki might be pregnant." Watari whispered. Hisoka dropped down into the chair like the life was sucked out of him. He had a look of utter shock and disbelief on his face. He shook his head like he didn't believe what he had just heard.

"No, he can't be. He's a guy and guys don't . . . can't . . . get pregnant." Hisoka said with panic just barely under the surface.

"Bon, I'm . . . I'm pregnant." Watari told Hisoka in a soft voice. He felt Tatsumi grab his hand and place the paper he had given him earlier in it.

"I got pregnant before I changed back and when I changed back I kept that part of being a girl with me. You need to get Tsuzuki checked out as a precaution and if you don't believe me, here's the paper they gave me in medical confirming that I'm pregnant. I didn't believe them either at first, bon, but it's true." He handed the paper he had shoved at Tatsumi earlier to Hisoka. Hisoka's eyes grew wide when he read the paper.

"Oh, shit!" Hisoka said as he jumped out of the chair. He dropped the paper and as it fluttered to the floor, he ran out of the room like the fires of hell were licking at his feet.

"I hope he comes to terms with what we just told him." Tatsumi whispered. Watari nodded as he slowly sank into Tatsumi's arms. Tatsumi pulled his lover and their unborn child closer to him and wrapped them in his love.

Two weeks later . . .

Hisoka had gotten Tsuzuki to go to medical the day Tatsumi and Watari told him of the pregnancy possibility and they had gotten the same results. Tsuzuki had gotten pregnant during those six weeks he was a girl. Tsuzuki was ecstatic about the pregnancy but Hisoka felt utterly confused. He didn't know what to think, he and Tsuzuki had just moved in together and now they had a baby on the way. He was thinking about everything that had happened in the last two weeks in a quiet corner in the library when he noticed the shadow of someone standing over him. He looked up and saw that it was Tatsumi.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Tatsumi, I didn't see you standing there." Hisoka said

"That's okay, Kurosaki, I think you need someone to talk to about this pregnancy thing. Am I correct?" Tatsumi inquired.

"Yeah, I guess so. Okay, I still don't get it. How could Watari and Tsuzuki get pregnant if their dead?" Hisoka asked

"Well, Kurosaki, it was a side effect of the magick in the potion that Watari had concocted. When they changed their gender, they in essence gave themselves a new life by changing their DNA. It's really complicated to explain, trust me on this, Kurosaki. Watari tried to explain it to me but, I just get muddle headed whenever he gets all scientific. But, do you get the gist of what I was saying?"

"Yea, I guess I get it. When they turned into girls, they retained their memories but had new bodies. So, in essence, they weren't dead anymore because they were no longer the same people they were when they died. Is that about right, Tatsumi?"

"That's right, Kurosaki, it's something along that effect. So, how is Tsuzuki handling the pregnancy and impending motherhood?"

"He's so happy about it that it makes me sick sometimes, you know. I never knew anyone could be that happy about a baby."

"The reason why Tsuzuki is so happy, Kurosaki, is because he's having a baby with someone he loves very much." Tatsumi told him with a slight smile on his lips. Hisoka couldn't feel Tatsumi's emotions because of Tatsumi's powers but he knew that he had to be thinking of Watari when he said that.

"Is that how it is with you and Watari?" Hisoka asked him. Tatsumi smiled just thinking about Watari and how happy they were about the baby they had on the way. Every chance Tatsumi got, he would go down to Watari's lab just to hold him and rub his hand across their unborn child.

"Yes, that is how it is between us, Kurosaki. Remember that was I like you and wasn't very good with showing my feelings. If you ever need someone to talk to, Kurosaki, just come by my office or call me, okay?" Hisoka nodded and Tatsumi left.

Hisoka sat there for awhile thinking about everything Tatsumi had said. He chuckled at the thought of the scientifically inclined Watari being pregnant. He knew that the scientist was probably driving Tatsumi nuts with explanations of every step of the pregnancy. He thought about Tsuzuki and how good of a mother he would be. Tsuzuki was so loving and giving, so much more than Hisoka was. He knew deep down that the baby would be a good thing for their relationship and would bring them closer together. Tsuzuki was laid up in medical right now because he couldn't keep anything down and they wanted to keep an eye on him during the first trimester. Hisoka decided to go see Tsuzuki . . . he needed to see him.

***

Tsuzuki lay in his bed and felt like death warmed over. The doctors had told him he had a rare form of morning sickness. It just wouldn't go away so everything he ate came right back up. They wanted to keep an eye on him the first trimester so that meant he was basically living in medical for the first three months of his pregnancy. They had him hooked up to an IV so he and the baby could still get the vitamins and stuff they needed. He had already been there for two weeks and he still had ten more weeks to go. Less if the morning sickness cleared up sooner. His hand slowly drifted down to where his baby lay nestled within him and smiled. He needed his Hisoka and that was the only thing that would make him feel better right now. Tsuzuki heard the door to his room click. He turned his head and smiled when he saw who it was. It was his love, Hisoka.

"Hisoka . . ." he whispered and held a hand out to him. Hisoka walked over to Tsuzuki's bed, clasped the outstretched hand and sat down on the bed next to him.

"How are you doing, Tsuzuki?" Hisoka asked and Tsuzuki smiled weakly up at him. Hisoka could feel love pouring off of him in waves, each wave deeper than the next.

"Better… now that you're here with me. I've missed you, Hisoka." Tsuzuki told him.

Hisoka lay down next to Tsuzuki and gently pulled him into his arms. Tsuzuki sighed when he felt Hisoka's arms go around him and he laid his face in the space between Hisoka's neck and shoulder. Hisoka could sense another person there with them in the room. He looked around as he pushed out his senses and realized that it was their baby. Their baby was empathic like Hisoka and aware. He placed a hand on Tsuzuki's belly and felt love for him and Tsuzuki pouring from their unborn child. He smiled at that and knew that everything was going to be okay.
