I just wanted to apologize to everyone for not updating in such a long time. I really love Special A, but when the manga ended I kind of drifted and went into a Skip Beat fan craze. Recently though I've been watching the anime for the first time (as you can probably tell I use the manga for my work) and am getting the remaining 6 books for Christmas XD of SA and so felt more inspired to write.
So for anyone who has read the earlier chapters, thank you for your patience and to any new readers, thanks for choosing my story and I hope you're enjoying it.

Chapter Four :: Informing the Hanazono Family
Kei smiled to himself as he stood in the doorway of Hikari's new room. He had already packed his things for when they visited Jiro and he was watching Hikari pack hers. As she looked in her calendar she drew a finger to her chin. "Hmm...perhaps I should make the doctor's appointment for sooner rather than later. I wonder if Takishima would want to come,"
"Is that really a wonder?" he asked coming to sit next to her as he saw how organized her case was. He smiled weakly, turning a little red as he noticed the black underwear she had been wearing that night, the night when this had all started. "Of course I want to come with you. I want to go through all of this with you," he smiled happily, "After all we'll be raising them together won't we?"
Hikari nodded happily as she thought about what a good parenting team they'd make, having a baby was like having a whole family it felt like and she wanted that with Takishima. "Of course," she grinned happily, "I just hope that the child is like his father,"
"I'd be happier if they were like their mother," he teased her before looking at her as he crouched down with her. "If you do this without complaint Hikari then I'll call you number one until I beat you again," he winked at her as she made a fist and smiled.
"Yosh!" she said merrily as she shut the case, "Well then I'll call you by your first name," she promised him as he smiled gently at her.
"Fair compromise," he laughed before putting one hand on the side of Hikari's cheek, he kissed her deeply and passionately as Sui watched.
"Stupid parents to be," he told them as they both looked back at him and grinned, both excited that although it had come a bit earlier than expected they had another life to celebrate, and it was one that they could celebrate together.
The Next Day
Arriving at the new Hanazono house Kei smiled as he admired the good woodwork that went into it, Jiro's handiwork of course. It was a peasant's house as Yashiro might say, but it suited the Hanazono family. He knocked on the door already holding his housewarming present, a case of expensive wines for Jiro and some famous design plates for Masako.
He and Hikari were dressed formerly but both of them could be seen as nervous over how this half of the family would react. As he knocked on the door he watched Atsushi open it. Atsushi's eyes brightened as he saw his little sister and immediately hugged her. "Hikari!" he smiled, "Good to see you here little sis, you beaten this guy already?" he teased her as he called for his parents.
Masako soon arrived and Kei handed her the gift he had selected, "As a house warming gift for you" he said as he pushed a hand through his hair with a smile. "Hikari and I have some news that we'd consider important. Don't we Hikari?"
Hikari nodded before turning red at that point Jiro came over
Noticing his daughter's state Jiro's mind jumped around between different scenarios that could be going on before he rubbed his chin, "Well...it only seems natural for you to live together, afterall there has to be someone to look after my Hikari."
"Yes," Kei nodded, "Especially now..."
"Especially now?" Masako asked curiously, "What does that mean?"
"It means," Hikari choked out, "I'm pregnant with Takishima's child."
At this Masako looked at Hikari not knowing whether to be angry or happy whereas both Atsushi and Jiro had turned to Kei.
"You slept with my sister?" Atsushi asked before Jiro seemed to have a monster inside of him.
"You slept with my daughter?" he asked in turn as Kei saw the possibility of real danger here. He crossed his arms and nodded before sinking into a bow.
"It was my foolishness and irresponsibility that led me to get myself into this position, but I would never force Hikari to do something that she doesn't want to do and I consider this child a blessing. I would really like for the grandparents and uncles to be supportive." He said maturely as Atsushi nodded weakly.
"Yeah, guess I can do that," he smiled at Hikari, "Well I guess congratulations are in order then. What do you think dad?"
"Hikari," Jiro replied, "Is this what you want? To have a child?"
Hikari nodded in determination, "I really want to have this child with Takishima," she smiled happily. "I didn't think I was ready at first, but with all the help that Takishima's family has given me in supporting me and allowing me to live with them I know I'll be okay. This baby is really blessed to have Takishima as a father."
Kei shook his head, "Incorrect number two," he teased, "The baby is more blessed to have you as their mother."
Jiro sighed before looking at Hikari as he spoke at the same time as Masako, "Congratulations," Jiro then added, "You're going to teach the kids martial arts right Hikari? Make sure they can beat their father,"
Kei chuckled at that, "I suppose if the child wanted to learn,"
Jiro nodded before Masako spoke up, "So when is the wedding going to be you two, I suppose that's what you've come to ask today right Kei?"
"We-Wedding!" Hikari asked speechless as she turned red and then turned pale as that was said as Kei laughed.
"Soon," he nodded as Hikari watched him suspiciously, "As soon as Hikari is ready and after I've received your blessings to ask her."
Hikari smiled weakly as she looked down, her cheeks growing redder with every passing moment.
So sorry that that was so super short. Next one will hopefully be twice as long.
Thank you everyone who has been supporting me
