Gift
Kudo Shinichi opened the door to his home.
He loosened his tie and abandoned his shoes in front of the door. He sighed tiredly, moving his dead feet through the wooden floor. He needed to take a break every once in a while. Although he loved working on cases, his wife was right. He was only human after all.
And speaking about his wife…
"Shinichi?"
He looked up and smiled at the sight of his wife. Ran rubbed her eyes, blinking at the dim light of the hallway. Shinichi glanced at the time. It was almost 12.
"Hey, sorry if I woke you up," he whispered, sheepishly.
"It's okay," she said, smiling lightly. "Come to bed. It's late. And you look dead tired."
He quickly changed into his pajamas, brushed his teeth, and returned to their room. Ran was already lying down, facing away from him. Shinichi slid under the covers and snuggled into her back. He wrapped his arm around her, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Shinichi…?"
He opened his eye slowly. "Hmm?"
"Happy birthday." She whispered, turning to face him.
He blinked. The clock behind her shoulder indicated that it was exactly 12 now. Was it May 4th already?
She kissed his neck. "Do you want your gift now?"
"No," he murmured, getting comfortable again, and nuzzling her neck. "I don't want to move and I don't want you to go anywhere. Give it to me tomorrow morning."
He felt her smile against his neck. "I have it right here."
"Huh?"
He looked down at her, bewildered. She took his hand, and gently laid it on her stomach, smiling lovingly at him.
It took him a long minute to realize what she was conveying, and suddenly, his eyes widened.
"You…? Are you…?" he swallowed.
"Yes."
"Really…?"
She nodded, eyes dancing mirthfully.
Unconsciously, his hand rubbed her stomach, where a new life dwelt. A life they both created…
Tears prickled at the edge of his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to shed them. "Ran, thank you…"
She leaned in, and kissed him softly. "I hope it's a boy for him to be like his father."
"It doesn't matter. That's the best gift you have every given me, Ran. Thank you."
She kissed him again, and then settled her head against his chest. Shinichi closed his eyes, sighing blissfully. He hugged his wife closer, and drifted to sleep, where he dreamt of a small toddler in his mother's arms, smiling up at him.
