A/N: Chapter 6, feel free to review and I hope you will enjoy reading this chapter.
Summary: Izaya has been hiding the fact that he is intersex for the people around him. One of the people he doesn't want to find out is Heiwajima Shizuo. So what happens when both get drunk at a party and end up at Izaya's apartment together?
Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!
After getting back to his apartment Izaya took of his coat and placed the pills he got from Shinra on the kitchen table. Honestly this was a big mess if you asked him, but he couldn't really go back on his word anymore now that he had agreed to carrying it till full term. He was still calling the child an it, since he didn't really want to get attached to the thing, otherwise he might not be able to let it go when the time came.
A sigh escaped his mouth and he grabbed his phone. He still had to call his special doctor to ask is he could help scheduling a cesarean. He pushed in the right number before calling and pressing his phone to his ear.
"Good afternoon, this is Yoshida speaking how may I help you?" He heard the voice on the other end of line say when the call was picked up.
"Good afternoon Yoshida-sensei, this is Orihara Izaya speaking." Izaya started. Normally he would have used an alias, but since this doctor knew who he was he could use his real name.
"Ah Orihara-san, how can I be of help to you?" The doctor asked and Izaya almost wanted to end the call right there, but he knew this had to happen and the sooner the better.
"Today I found out that I'm six weeks pregnant." Izaya started. "So I'm calling since I will be needing a cesarean when the child is ready to be born. I already have someone else doing the checkups, but he can't do the cesarean, so I was wondering if you could help with that."
"Congratulations is in order then and I should be able to help with the cesarean, since I know you can't just go to the hospital and ask for one. You said you were six weeks?" Yoshida-san asked.
"Yes, that's right. Can you give me the details once you have found someone to do the cesarean? And don't use my real name." Izaya told the doctor. The doctor may know his real name, but there was no way he was going to let other people know his real name while he was having the cesarean.
"That should be fine and should I use the alias you normally use for these things?" The doctor asked and Izaya nodded before realizing the doctor wouldn't be able to see that.
"Yes, that's fine. Then I will leave arranging the cesarean to you." Izaya said before ending the call. He put his phone back in his pocket and sat down on his couch. That had been done, but now there were other things to think about. What to do with Namie and also what to do with his work and clients. He knew he could tell Shiki-san the truth, but what about the rest? He still needed to do the work, but he wouldn't be able to do much outside of his apartment, that would be too dangerous.
He could either give Namie a vacation or tell her the truth. Of course he could also fire her, but he might need her help with work during his pregnancy, since he knew Shizuo wouldn't be of much help with that. He might as well tell her tomorrow then.
A knock on the door took him out of his thoughts and he went over to the door to answer it. Behind the door stood the blonde he had been waiting for carrying less stuff than he had expected the blonde to get, but most of it were probably his bartender uniforms and his daily necessaries.
"Ah Shizu-chan, there you are." Izaya said and stepped aside, letting the blonde in. "I will take you to the guest room so you can dump your stuff there." Izaya said and walked past the blonde and up the stairs to a room. His own room was also on this floor, including a bathroom, but Shizuo's was at the end of the hallway, with the bathroom between their rooms. Walking towards the room at the end of the hallway he opened the door and motioned for Shizuo to go inside. "This will be your room for the time being, besides this one is the bathroom and beside that is my room, which you probably already knew from last time. Downstairs is my office, living room and kitchen with another smaller bathroom." Izaya said and waited till the blonde had placed his stuff down before walking back down the stairs. "You're forbidden to look at the files and also don't look at my computer. Any questions?" He turned around and faced the blonde when he asked this.
"No, everything seems clear for now." Shizuo said and looked around the living room. "You have an assistant right? What are you going to do with her?" Izaya knew that question was coming, since Shizuo knew he had an assistant.
"I'm going to tell her the truth, since I might need her for work while I'm pregnant and I'm also going to tell my most important client." Izaya said and saw Shizuo have a sceptical look on his face. "He already knows I'm intersex, so explaining it to him won't be much trouble." Shizuo still didn't seem happy, but Izaya decided not to go any further on the topic.
"Do you have any food in your apartment for dinner?" Shizuo suddenly asked and Izaya shook his head at that. "I still need to go and get some groceries, but we can also order something if you would like?" Izaya answered.
"Shinra said you should eat a balanced diet, so I don't think eating out will be good for you. Shinra also said no raw fish, which means no otoro for you." At those words Izaya eyes shot open and he stared at Shizuo as is he had just said that the world would end.
"Are you kidding me? No otoro for the next eight months?" Izaya said and looked at Shizuo unbelievingly. "There's no way I'm going to survive that."
"Don't exaggerate Izaya, the world won't end if you can't eat otoro for the next eight months." Shizuo said.
"You don't know that, you can't even appreciate how good otoro is. What am I going to tell Simon when he asks if I want to eat sushi? He will get suspicious if I refuse it for eight months!" Izaya couldn't believe he wouldn't be able to eat his otoro. He had known somewhere known that he couldn't eat raw fish, but he hadn't made the connection with his otoro. This was seriously going to be hell!
"Than just tell him you're sick or not feeling well when you get across him." Shizuo answered.
"Easier said than done!" He could already feel anger starting to boil up, but Shinra said that stress was bad, so better sent Shizuo out to get the groceries. He grabbed his wallet and took out some money before giving it to the blonde. "Go get the groceries, but don't buy too many sweets." Izaya said, knowing the blonde he would probably go and buy sweets if he hadn't told him that.
"Why should I do it? You can do it too right?" Shizuo was definitely annoyed by the way he got treated.
"You want me to carry your child remember, so you better do what I say." Izaya said and saw the blonde opening his mouth to say something, but then turned around to go out. "Wait!" Izaya said and the blonde turned around before getting a key tossed at him. "That's the key to my apartment, so you can just enter on your own." He said and watched the blonde leave, before going back to the couch.
He laid down on the couch and turned to lay on his side before closing his eyes for a bit. He really felt tired after all that had happened today and he was emotionally and physically completely drained. That was also why as soon as he closed his eyes he had started falling asleep.

Izaya woke up to the smell of someone cooking. He slowly sat up and noticed that he had a blanket on him. Confused he pushed the blanket aside and stood up from the couch. He could remember falling asleep on the couch, but he definitely didn't have a blanket. He decided that he would probably find the answer in the kitchen where someone was cooking.
Once he had reached the kitchen he was surprised by what he saw. Shizuo stood in his kitchen cooking dinner. He hadn't known the protozoan could cook and he hoped that it would be edible, but he really hadn't felt like cooking himself, so he was happy that the blonde was doing it for him.
"I didn't know Shizu-chan could cook." Izaya said and walked to the blonde till he was right next to him.
"I live on my own, so of course I know how to cook at least some things. Do you even cook?" Izaya smirked at that.
"Of course I can cook, I just let my assistant cook most of the time, since I think it takes too much time." Izaya said and looked into the pans to see what the blonde was cooking. "Did you put the blanket on me?" He asked, but it couldn't really have been anyone else besides Shizuo.
"Yeah, you really shouldn't fall asleep on the couch without a blanket." Shizuo said and turned to look at the raven. "I'm almost finished here, so why don't you set the table?" Izaya's nodded and just went ahead and set the table.
Once he had finished setting the table, Shizuo had also finished making dinner and was putting the food on the plates. Izaya sat down and waited till Shizuo was finished and the blonde had sat down. Izaya was looking down at his plate and noticed that Shizuo had put quite a bit of food on both plates.
"Shizu-chan, there's no way I can eat all that." Izaya complained.
"You are eating for two now flea." Shizuo countered, but Izaya started pouting at the blonde. "Fine, just eat as much as you can alright?" Happy with the answer Izaya started eating, surprisingly it tasted pretty good.
"This tastes pretty good." He said and noticed the blonde starting to smile a little.
"Thanks, I didn't know if you would like it." Shizuo said and kept eating his own food.
Izaya kept eating till he had about three quarters of the food finished, but stopped then. He really didn't feel like eating more. "I have had enough." He said and waited till Shizuo was finished, before picking up his plate and cleaned it before placing it in the sink. Shizuo did the same with his plate.
"I can wash the dishes." Shizuo said. "You can either go rest or do whatever you want." At that Izaya glared a bit at him, but resting didn't sound so bad, maybe just going to sleep was what he should do.
"Yeah, thanks, I think I will go to sleep, so please don't make a mess." Izaya said and turned around but was stopped by the blonde's voice.
"I have work tomorrow, so I might already be gone by the time you wake up, but I will make dinner tomorrow evening if you want or just let your assistant do it, but let me know then alright?" Oh right, Shizuo was going to keep working for Tom, so that meant that the blonde wouldn't be here during the day. At least he wouldn't have to see Shizuo's face all day, which made it a bit better.
"Sure, I will let you know what we will do for dinner tomorrow." Izaya said and then left to head towards his bedroom, once there he changed into his gray hoodie and black shorts, before getting into his bed and almost immediately falling asleep when his head hid the pillow.

Waking up the next morning started once again like hell. As soon as he had sat up in his bed, he was making his way over to the bathroom and puking his guts out into the toilet. Then Shizuo had to walk in on him puking and instead of leaving him alone started rubbing his back awkwardly. Not being able to speak, he wasn't able to tell the blonde to go away, so he had to wait till he had finished throwing up.
Once he was finished he stood up on shaky legs and made his way over to the sink to rinse his mouth and wash his hands.
"Are you alright now?" Shizuo suddenly asked and Izaya turned around to glare at him.
"I'm fine now, but you don't need to help me with this!" He snapped at the blonde. Izaya stormed out of the bathroom once he had said this and got dressed in his bedroom, before heading down the stairs, where Shizuo was already fully dressed.
"Ehm… I need to go to work." He said awkwardly and didn't meet the raven's gaze. "See you tonight." He said before opening the door and running straight into Namie. "Ah sorry." He said and then disappeared down the hall.
"Wasn't that Heiwajima Shizuo?" Namie asked as soon as she came inside the apartment.
"Yeah, it was." Came the curt reply.
"Seems like you're in a great mood." Namie sighed and went over to her desk, before sitting down behind it.
"You would be the same if you were forced into something you didn't like." Izaya angrily said and stormed towards the kitchen to take his pills with some water. He really needed to remind himself to take them, otherwise Shinra would definitely nag at him.
"What are those pills for?" Namie asked and picked one of the bottles up. "Prenatal vitamins? Why would you be taking those?" Izaya had finished taking his pills and snatched the bottle from the woman.
"Don't go through my stuff!" He snapped and glared at her angrily. "And as for why I'm taking them, I found out that I'm six weeks pregnant." He said and went to his desk, sitting down in his chair.
"Pregnant? But you're clearly a man, so there's no way you can get pregnant, even you should know that." Here it came, he would have to tell her the truth.
"I'm intersex." Was all he said, he assumed that she knew what that meant, since she kept staring at him after he said that.
"You mean to say that you are both male and female?" That was the short explanation of it.
"That's how you can say it and I have the ability to carry children, so when Shizu-chan and I had sex I ended up pregnant." Izaya explained and hoped that she wouldn't ask much more and just accept it.
"Heiwajima Shizuo is the father?" A nod from the informant confirmed it. "Never thought that not only your mind but also your body was messed up." She said and Izaya narrowed his eyes at that.
"Be happy that I'm not firing you, because I could have chosen that option too." He said and then sighed. "We need to start filtering the requests and I also need to inform Shiki-san of my current condition. He already knows I'm intersex, so that part doesn't need an explanation, but since I'm pregnant I won't be able to do all the work I normally do." Izaya said and Namie glared at him.
"If you didn't get yourself pregnant this wouldn't be happening." She said and then went to sit behind her desk.
"It's not like I want to keep it. Shizu-chan asked me to keep it." Izaya said and he could already feel the disbelieving look the woman was giving him.
"And you just accepted it because he wanted it. It sounds to me that you don't even want to give birth." Namie said and an eyebrow at him.
"I don't, but Shinra and Shizu-chan convinced me to at least give birth." He said and sighed. "When is my next appointment with Shiki?" He asked.
"Actually you have one today. He called two days ago, but clearly you weren't paying attention. The meeting is at 3pm at your apartment, so you don't need to go out." Namie said and Izaya sighed a bit. So he had to tell Shiki today too? That might become a bit of a mess, especially if Shizu-chan was finished with his work early. Oh well, he would see what happens when it was 3pm, but right now he would better do some work, before his assistant was going to nag at him for not doing anything. "Oh yeah one last thing, I can't handle the smell of coffee, so there will be no coffee served in my apartment." With those words he turned his attention towards his computer screens and started working.

Izaya was busy throwing up his lunch when a knock came at the door. Groaning a bit he tried to get up, but this only made him throw up more. Meanwhile he heard the door being opened and he could hear voices talking, but he couldn't tell what they were saying over the sounds of his own puking. He really hated this, couldn't Shinra have given him something against the nausea too? Clearly the doctor hadn't thought about it.
A knock came this time at the bathroom door. "Izaya? Shiki-san is here, so could you please hurry up and finish?" Namie asked and Izaya groaned once more. Great, just great. Now Shiki was here and he was once again throwing up. Luckily it didn't take much longer, before there wasn't anything left in his stomach and he was ready to come out of the bathroom.
Once he exited the room he could see the man he had an appointment with sitting on the couch. Shiki had turned his head to look at the informant leaving the bathroom and narrowed his eyes when he saw how pale the informant was looking. "I thought I told you not to get sick?" Shiki said without any emotion in his voice and Izaya said nothing and just said down on the couch.
"I'm not really sick, Shiki-san." The informant said and he noticed Shiki looking suspiciously at him.
"Then what is it, because if it influences your work, you better tell me." Shiki was definitely not in a good mood and Izaya couldn't say he was in a good mood himself either.
Izaya let his gaze go to the two bodyguards at the door, but decided that he didn't really have any other choice but to tell the man. "I'm pregnant." He said softly, so that the bodyguards wouldn't hear it.
"You're what?" Shiki said and in his eyes it was clearly visible he was angry. "Who's the father?" Izaya opened his mouth to answer the question, but before he could the door to his apartment opened and Shizuo walked in. The blonde looked from the bodyguards by the door to the man who was sitting on the couch with Izaya.
"Oh, ehm, I sent you a message." Shizuo said when he rested his gaze on Izaya. "But I guess I would better take my leave and come back later." He said and was already opening the door when Shiki called out to him.
"Heiwajima-san right? It's fine to stay, since we were talking about something that concerns you too." The man said and Shizuo turned around while closing the door to look at the man before walking over and sitting beside Izaya.
"What were you talking about?" Shizuo asked and looked at Izaya waiting for an answer.
"This is the client I told you about." Izaya said and Shizuo remembered that Izaya had indeed talked about an important client. "And I was just telling him about me being pregnant when you walked in." This part was said more softly, since he still didn't want the bodyguards to hear.
"And I was just asking who the father was when you walked in, so I'm assuming you're the father right?" Shiki smirked and looked at the blonde. Shizuo met his gaze and glared a bit.
"Yes I am." He said and kept glaring at the man.
"This might get interesting then, I mean if the child gets your strength and is as smart as Izaya that might be an interesting combination." Izaya knew that look on Shiki's face and knew it couldn't mean anything good.
"As if I would let my child get into contact with the yakuza." Shizuo growled and his glare intensified.
"So you already guessed that I'm yakuza?" Shiki smirked at that. "But it's not your choice alone, I mean Orihara-san has a say in this too right?"
"I don't want anything to do with the child after it's born, so it's Shizu-chan's decision." Izaya said and sighed. "Are you going to tell me what you really came for or are you going to leave?" Izaya asked, but he really wanted the man to leave, since he didn't think Shizuo would be able to keep calm for much longer.
"I came here for business, but I will contact you about that later. For now I will be taking my leave." Shiki said and stood up before letting himself out of the apartment.
A sigh escaped Izaya's mouth and he closed his eyes for a moment. "That really gave me a headache…" He muttered and started rubbing his temples.
"Then go and sleep for a bit." Shizuo said and stood up. "I will wake you up when dinner is ready." Shizuo said and Izaya looked up at him.
"I still have work to do." He said and tried standing up, but he almost fell over before being caught by Shizuo.
"Seems like some rest would do you good." Shizuo said and stared Izaya into his eyes, before the pregnant man laid down on the couch and pulled the blanket on top of himself.
"What about me?" Namie suddenly asked and Izaya looked up for a bit. He had already forgotten Namie was still there. "If you're not going to work, then I'm not going to work either.
"Then go, but don't think you will get paid for the hours you didn't work." Izaya said and then closed his eyes, not listening to anymore complaining from the woman and soon he felt himself drifting off into sleep.
