Woo! I should use threats more often, I actually got reviews~! LOL no, I kid, I kid. Anyways, MAJOR time skip here from last chapter, love you all~! Also, I think this is the first time we see Shizuo's POV. The chapters will always start out in Izaya's POV UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED and any POV changes there-on will be signaled by the persons name and a line break on each side.


Eight years later


'I think he's asking her soon. Hurry back,' I stare at the message. I told Shinra I was coming home last week; in fact we were nearly packed up here and ready to go. I'd even been lucky to find an apartment close to where my old one was with plenty of space. But here it was…Shizuo really didn't love me. He was planning to ask some stupid bitch to marry him! Hah! As if I can let that happen!

'Our flight is in two days' I type back. I stand up and stretch a little, the black V-neck I wear rising up to expose the faded scar on my abdomen.
"Mooooommy! I'm hungry~!" I hear the door close and smile.

"Coming Yuzuki-chan~!" I call back, turning the computer off, "And how many times have I told you? I'm Daddy!" Time to pack it up…after my precious baby has her strawberry cake anyways.


"I don't like Japan Daddy," Yuzuki grasps my hand tightly and I smile at her.
"Ne Yu-chan~, you're just not used to it yet. Besides, your Dad is here, and you might meet him! And you'll get to see Uncle Shinra and Auntie Celty all the time now~!"I remind her and her face lights up, her golden eyes widening.

"Oh yeah! I like Auntie Celty, she's fun!" She says and I smile at her.
"This is it," The taxi-driver calls gruffly from the front and I thank him. We get out with our luggage and I pay him before we get settled in to our new apartment.

"Daddy, how come everything is so crowded?"
"Japan has more people than Canada sweetie, and less space,"
"So…everyone lives in apartments?"
"Yep~!" There's a knock on the door and I hurry to answer it. Shinra and Celty are there and Celty brushes past me to greet Yuzuki.

"Auntie Celty!" She cheers and hugs the Dullahan who happily hugs her back.
"Ne~, Shinra-san, Celty-san, can you watch her? I want to see if I can find him~" I ask coyly and Shinra frowns but nods.


It isn't hard to find Shizuo Heiwajima at all. He's in a park, smoking and staring at the sky, tranquil. He seems so peaceful even, and it's beautiful. I almost don't want to disturb him…then again, this is a great opportunity!

"Shi~zu~chaaaaan~" I call cheerfully and he starts, then turns to look at me. His face goes from slight irritation to complete shock. His cigarette falls from between his lips and I smile –more shyly than I'd have liked to—and wave.

"Long time no see, how's 'Bukuro been?" His eye twitches comically and he grins.
"Flea! I knew you'd be back; now, hold still so I can kill you!" He lunges at me and I grin, running for it. Hey, I DID get back in shape after the baby. People shriek as the first heavy object goes flying through the air, missing me by a mile.

"Ne~? Shizu-chan, careful, people might think you actually missed me~!" I tease. Oh God, I hope that's the case. He says nothing, but he's still grinning like a mad man as he rips up a street sign.
"Hmmn~? Whatcha gonna do with that Shizu-chan? Tie me up? Kinky~!" I taunt and slip away again. Ah yes! I missed this so much while I was away from him! I head back in a wide loop towards the park again and he follows. Hah, I win!

"Come out; come out wherever you are…." He says, weaving through the trees more slowly now.
"Shizu-chan~!" I call and move as fast as I can. The sign goes whizzing passed me and I smirk, turning in and moving close. I don't have my knife out though; I don't think he noticed at all.

"Shit!" I get in close and his perfect eyes widen right before I plant one on him. A kiss that is. My arms swing around his neck and grab him close. His shock is palpable and his rage ebbs quickly. I pull away before he can crush me.

"What the fuck…?" Still in shock. I grin and lick my lips, savouring the flavour that is Shizuo.
"Hmmn, yummy. Missed you Shizu-chan~" I make a heart with my index fingers and thumbs. He turns red.
"Wh-what the hell was that flea?"
"Hmm? Got a girlfriend now? Or do you not remember the fun WE had?"
"What the hell are you talking about flea?"

"Aww…You really don't remember? And I played into your kinks and everything…My super-special birthday surprise, just. For. Shizu-chan~!" I've decided to do whatever it takes. I will not let him be happy with someone else. I refuse. I need him even now, even with my piece of him. He turns the most brilliant shade of red I've ever seen him turn.

"Th-tha- n-n- i- wh-" He's so flustered he can't string two syllables together, let alone two words.
"That was no dream Shizu-chan. We really did fuck…master~" I purr coyly. I smirk wickedly when I see his black dress pants actually tenting at the front.

"Hmm? You get up for me so easy Shizu-chan~! But I'm afraid that's all the time I have to play with you today!" I taunt skipping off and leaving my confused blonde monster to muddle and work through his thoughts.


"Mommy~!" Yuzuki is glued to my leg the moment I'm in the door.
"Ne Yuzuki-chan, Daddy, I'm Daddy!" I remind her again. She is very persistent and stubborn though.
"Hmm? Izaya-san, you are her Mommy though,"
"Hey! Mommies are women, I am not a woman; I am a man! Do you see boobs? I didn't think so,"

[Actually Mothers are the ones who carry and birth. That makes you mom Izaya-san]
"C-Celty-san!"
"See? Mommy is Mommy!" Yuzuki grins up at me and I frown…but I can help but smile as I scoop her into my arms either.
"Alright, alright, I'm…ugh, Mommy," I grumble.

"Mommy, when does school start?"
"Well, we get to go see it tomorrow, and the day after you start, and you don't tell anyone what?"
"That I'm super strong?"
"Right~! And you'll make lots of friends, because you're soooo cute~!" I mock-eat her neck and she giggles happily. Shinra still isn't used to this, but at least his jaw doesn't hang open anymore. I doubt he'll ever get used to seeing me express affection for Yuzuki, but how can I not when she's so perfect~? Celty flashes her screen to Shinra who smiles with a soft sigh.

"Okay, Celty-chan was right," He says and hands her a hundred bucks.


"Yuzuki…?" My heart stops. It always does when I can't see her. And she was just here too damn it all!
"Yuzuki-chan? Come out now, this isn't funny," I use my scolding voice because I don't want her to hear my panic. I look around though and it's a mess of humans everywhere with no sign of her perfect auburn locks, nor her adorable smile. I can't even see the bright pink backpack I got her last year –she wears it everywhere. I start to move now, my breath catching. She's not anywhere….shit….SHIT! Full on panic now and I search harder. She'll have her knife of course, I make sure she doesn't leave the house without one, and she's strong like Shizuo, she'll be fine, she has to be!

I feel myself breathe again when I spot her bag on the other side and make my way over as fast as I can, but I stop before I get there.
"…No…." Shizuo.


Shizuo


"Is that cake?" I blink and look down to see two enormous golden eyes staring up at me.
"Huh?"
"I asked if that was cake, what are you a protozoan?" She climbs onto the bench next to me. Jesus, she sounds like Izaya!
"Yeah…it is. Shouldn't you be with your parents?"

"Mommy got lost when I followed the smell of cake," She says and I grin. Cute damn kid.
"What about your Dad?"
"I dunno, I never met him." She shrugs then looks at me expectantly. It's a bit weird to see actually, her hair is exactly my shade -the natural colour anyways, same with her eyes.

"Can…I have some too?"
"Didn't your parents…er…mother teach you not to talk to strangers?"
"No. Mommy said if strangers try to hurt me I just hurt them back," Wow, who the hell is this kids mom anyways?
"I…see. What's your name kid?"

"Yuzuki, I'm Heiwajima Yuzuki," She says happily.
"Huh…that's a coincidence. I'm Heiwajima Shizuo," I grin and her eyes light up.
"Yay~! Now we aren't strangers! Mommy did say I would make friends fast!" She really is adorable.
"Ah, what the heck, it's strawberry," I saw handing her the plate I haven't even started on yet. I can get more.
"Yay~! I like strawberries!" She digs in. I guess I'm stuck babysitting until her mother shows up.

"So…what does your mom do?"
"Mommy sells information, but…oops, I'm not supposed to say that," She frowns a little and bites her lower lip.
"I won't tell," I wink and she grins brightly again.
"Shizu-chan~! I knew you were a pervert, but little children…reeeaaaally~?" I twitch at the irritating voice.

"Mommy!" The kid bounces…BOUNCES into the flea's arms. The FLEA'S!
"Yuzuki-chan! How many times, ne? Daddy!" The flea says scooping her up. He scooped her up! Wait, did she call him Mommy? Hey, hang on a minute!
"Mommy! He's nice! And he gave me cake! And he has the same last name I do Mommy!" She flails happily at the flea who simply smirks.

"Ne~? Shizu-chan was nice hmm? Well, I suppose even monsters have their moments," He smirks, "Now come on, we're going to be late and it's your first day~" He says, walking off, still carrying the girl. I think I'm in shock…when did the FLEA become a parent? No…he had to have kidnapped her! She had a different last name right? And men don't get pregnant, that means someone had her and he bounced on out with her! I get to my feet to chase him down but he's long gone now…damn it. Next time I will catch him and press him for information.

Fuck, and here I'd thought the flea was as low as one could get.


Seliphra: Eh heh heh, yes, this is a nice long time skip, ne?
Izaya: Ah...what a cute baby I have~!
Shizuo: *Comes out of hiding from last chapters postscript*
Seliphra: Review~! Reviewreviewreview! I was so happy to actually get some on the last chapter, and remember I don't care if all you say is 'Review' or 'moar'. I don't care if you're signed or anonymous! I read them all and they give me a happy! Giving me a happy makes me write!
Izaya: *flaps his arms and starts flying to ceiling* Wee~!
Shizuo: *grabs Izaya's leg* No you don't...Hey...what were Shinra and Celty betting on?
Seliphra: Whether or not Izaya would be a good Mom.
