Saturday,

The night before, Kanon, had stayed awake till three o'clock in the morning. He had spent his time watching the other sleep, or got up and walked around the house more than once. He wasn't sure if he had woken up the other during his rounds around the house, but Schneizel was asleep when he came back. Kanon had watched Schneizel sleep before, and he couldn't tell if the other was truly asleep or awake. Either way he did look peaceful. During his rounds he had stopped at Anya's room. He wasn't surprised to see her diary on the pillow lying next to her. After he had checked on Anya he had wondered into the nursery. Kanon had run his thin, but petite fingers threw the ridges if the baby cradle. The soft fabric comforted him, surprisingly, and the thought that he was going to have a baby warmed him.

Then the image of Jun cursed his thoughts. The baby belonged to him. He was the father instead of Schneizel! He had gripped the fabric forcefully. Jun didn't deserve to be the father! He had felt the warm, round tear drops roll down his face. Maybe he shouldn't have this baby, and try with Schneizel...

When he had gone back to his bedroom, Schneizel was sound asleep. Kanon had sighed, and thanked that the other wasn't awake. He hadn't wanted Schneizel to wake up and ask him what was wrong. Kanon had rolled into bed soundlessly, but once he was in the covers he had heard the other move, and he had soon found himself in the warm embrace of his boyfriend.

"What's wrong?" Schneizel had whispered into Kanon's ear.

Kanon had shifted uncomfortably away from his blonde boyfriend. "Nothing's wrong..." He had said.

Schneizel hugged him tighter and had whispered, "We can talk about it in the morning." And then Kanon heard Schneizel's soft breathing in his ear.

Kanon woke up the next morning snuggling up into Schneizel chest. The blonde was still asleep...maybe. Kanon had no clue if he was or not. He shifted a little, but it was no use. Schneizel's arms were wrapped around his waist securely.

"Schneizel," he whispered, "Wake up."

The blonde mumbled a little and his eyes slowly opened. A smile perked on his face and moved Kanon closer to his body so he could give his boyfriend a morning kiss on the forehead. "Morning sweetie."

"Can you let me go please? I need to pee."

"You're so romantic sometimes, my dear." Schneizel commented sarcastically. He let the other go rather quickly, "Go, before you pee on the bed."

"I can hold my bladder just fine, thank you." Kanon snorted, "I'm not a five year old."

"I'm glad you're not five years old." The other teased, "I would be molesting you."

"Would you molest me if I was five?" Kanon had stopped in front of the bathroom.

"Depends," he said truthfully.

"Depends on what?"

"If you really wanted sex with me," Schneizel explained, "I would have sex with you if you really wanted it, but if you didn't, then I wouldn't make you."

"Idiot," Kanon muttered. "The right answer would be: 'I would wait until you were old enough.'"

"I'm just telling you the truth, Jun would have told you that answer you wanted and lie about it." The blonde got out of bed and started his way towards Kanon; he leaned over the rose haired man, and pecked him on the lips. "I don't want this relationship full of lies, even if it's just a little one."

"I don't know if I should be impressed with you, or be disgusted with you." Kanon sighed, "But I'm happy you told me the truth."

"By the way, what was bothering you last night?"

"Can I pee first?"

"Of course."

Kanon shut the door in front of Schneizel. "Nothing's wrong, by the way."

"Are you sure? You did get up twice last night, and I know it wasn't just about you parents coming over, today."

Kanon froze over the toilet. "It's…nothing…"

"You're a bad liar, Kanon."

"…"

"Can you tell me the truth?"

"I…I… I don't want to have this baby…"

"Can you say that lauder?"

"Hold on a second!" Kanon flushed the toilet and washed his hands quickly. He opened the door and half yelled, "I don't want to have Jun's baby! I can't stand the fact that it isn't yours!" Schneizel snatched Kanon into a hug.

"You're having this baby, Kanon, even if it's not mine. You will not destroy this child's life just because you don't like its father."

"But-but…"

"I already told you that I don't care who the baby's father is. I just want to be there to help you take care of it. I won't be the biological father, but I'll act as its father, so please don't say things like that."

"Schneizel," Kanon hugged him back, "I don't deserve you."

"Why doesn't big brother Kanon not want to have the baby?" Anya was at the doorway, peering innocently in. Kanon wanted to yell out why she kept going in their room in the most awkward of times, while Schneizel kept a rather composed expression.

"Anya, you need to knock before you enter Kanon and I's bedroom, okay?" The blonde explained smoothly. The pink haired girl nodded before she shut the door. Seconds later the couple heard a knock on the door and Schneizel replied, "Come in," and the door opened once more with Anya staring at them with round expressionless eyes.

"Can I ask now?" She asked.

"I think that you're too young to understand what Kanon is going through, so we'll tell you in a couple of years or so." Schneizel explained. Anya nodded and closed the door again.

"That was easy," Kanon sighed, "I wonder if she'll ask my parents since we didn't tell her."

Schneizel shock his head, "I think she'll forget. She won't put it in her dairy."

"Hmm…"

"You're parents will be here in a couple of hours or so," Schneizel looked at the clock, which read, ten thirty-three. "You get ready, and I'll go make breakfast."

Kanon swore that when his mom entered the house that she knew instinctively that something was different about him. His father on the other hand was startled by Schneizel. Kanon guessed that his father thought it was Jun who had called.

"I'm Rachel Maldini." Rachel greeted and began to look around the house astonished.

"Who are you?" Kanon's father asked Schneizel. "Where's that Jun fellow?"

"I'm Schneizel el Britannia, your son's current boy friend."

"Britannia?" Kanon's father stuttered hysterically. "You're a Britannia!"

"Neil!" Rachel barked at her husband. "That's no way to treat Kanon's boyfriend!"

"B-But!" Neil looked dumfounded at Schneizel and his wife.

"So, Kanon," Rachel began, crossing her legs after she sat down. "Are you pregnant?" Kanon flinched back, "I'm taking that as a yes." She straightened herself up and began to play with her rose colored curls. "I thought that may be the case."

"Mom, what do you mean be that?" Kanon demanded. "You knew that I was going to get pregnant?"

"No you silly boy." His mother stood up gracefully, letting her curls jump and fall back on her round shoulders. "Karma, my dear son, likes to follow you were ever you go. It runs in your dad's side of the family." She said mournfully.

"Karma?" Neil questioned.

"So, Schneizel, were you the one who knocked up my son?" She was right into Schneizel's face, but the blonde did not flinch back.

"I'll be here to support him."

"Hmm." She hummed. "You're a Britannian, right, so why did you choose my son?"

"You're son is an interesting flower, so I had to put him into a flower pot and see what would happen."

"What happens if you don't find the flower interesting anymore?" Rachel asked.

"Mom I'm in the room!" Kanon reminded Rachel.

"That's impossible." Schneizel inquired. "The flower in my flower pot isn't going anywhere, any time soon."

"Fascinating." She grabbed the blonde's hands. "You have my blessing." She said.

"We're not engaged!" Kanon shouted. Neil for all of his glory was still trying to comprehend what was happening. "Not yet anyway…"

Rachel turned her head to face her son and said, "When you do get engaged you'll know that you have my blessing. You have you father's blessing also, right dear?"

"Um… Right!" Neil nodded in agreement.

"Neil, can you please snap back to reality?" Rachel walked to her husband to flick him on the forehead. "He's usually really macho." She apologized to Schneizel.

"It's fine." Schneizel reassured.

"Do I not exist here?"

They were all seated in the living room. Neil was sitting on the one setter, Rachel was sitting on the longer couch and Kanon and Schneizel were sitting on the love seat.

Schneizel looked at Kanon and then to his mother. He was beautiful like his mother, but he had some features that belonged to his fathers. He had his mother's rose colored hair, but his hair had no curls, which was probably because of his father, Kanon was very slender like his mother, and his shoulders were broad like his fathers. Rachel's eyes were a crimson ruby color, while Neil's eyes were the same hue as Kanon's

Anya had joined them a second ago. Even thought she was adopted she was quiet similar to Rachel. Anya had a similar type of curl in her hair, and her eyes were shaded like Rachel's and were the same hue of red. Anya's eyes sparkled the same as Rachel's, but in the since of the emotion that Rachel brought out in her own eyes. Anya's eyes were emotionless, showing little to no emotion since he had met her.

"Are you enjoying yourself, Anya?" Rachel had asked Anya to sit next to her. Anya nodded. Rachel smiled warmly at her adopted daughter. "I heard you have a high IQ." She wrapped her arms around Anya. "Mommy's so proud of you!" She squished the other female in an embrace.

"Do you mind if she starts working for the Britannian Company? She would be quiet useful at a time like this." Schneizel asked. "She'll be paid well. It'll be a good job for her to save up for College, although she'd probably receive a large amount of scholarship money."

Schneizel could tell that the idea had won Rachel over. Her eyes became wide with excitement and thought. "Anya, if you want to work there you can." Anya nodded, her expression did not change.

"Are you okay with Anya working at the Britannian Company, Mr. Maldini?" Schneizel asked Neil.

"What ever makes my wife happy." Neil plainly stated.

"Excellent," Schneizel said, "She'll get the job."

"Yeah!" Rachel squealed. She hugged Anya tighter.

"Is she going to be safe?" Neil spoke for himself for the first time. Schneizel gazed back at Neil. He felt like he was staring into Kanon's Safire eyes.

"She'll have her own personal body guard, and she'll be in one place when she's working." The blonde explained.

"Indoors?"

"Yes."

Neil didn't look satisfied but he nodded in agreement. Rachel had her arms around Anya still, and Kanon sat there, rolling his eyes at his "insane" parents.

"Are you two hungry?" Kanon spoke for the first time, "Its lunch time."

"I'm hungry," Neil stated.

"I'm fine, just a little thirsty." Rachel replied with a giant grin on her face.

"I'll get you-"

"Kanon, you talk to your parents." Schneizel sat up. "I'll make your dad something, so please sit down." Kanon frowned, but he sat back down, crossing his arms while he sat.

"How long are you?"

"What?"

"How long have you been pregnant?"

"Oh… Um I think about four weeks." Kanon answered. "It's been so chaotic that I don't know when I got pregnant."

"How so?' Rachel let's go of Anya and frowned. "Is there a problem?"

Kanon waved his hands in front of himself defensively, "Nothing's wrong, it's just hard to plan a pregnancy when you're a male." Rachel nodded in agreement.

"That's true, but you were 'planning' to get pregnant?"

"No, I mean that it's hard to know when I was pregnant to begin with, because men usually don't have to worry about getting pregnant." Kanon explained. Rachel grinned at her son.

"I know that sweetie, but it's funny to hear you spaze about it. You usually do that if you're trying to hide a part of information." His mother said. "What are you trying to hide?"

"I'm not hiding anything…"

"Sure you're not," Rachel said sarcastically.

"It's not important…"

"So you are hiding something!" Rachel sat up and pointed at her son. "Why are you hiding something from me?" She sounded a little hurt, yet she wore a smile on her face.

"It's not important!" Kanon stressed, "It's hard enough that I'm pregnant right now!"

"I'm sure that's true, but that not so important fact is important." Rachel pressed on murderously, "Do you not know who the father is? Oh! Maybe the father is possibly, Jun?"

"God woman! Are you even human? If you can figure all of this out without asking then why didn't you go to Harvard or something?" Kanon demanded.

"Sweetie, you already know the reason for that." Rachel said, "I didn't like the school." She was looking at Schneizel when she said that. "And so I decided to go to a smaller college and-"

"And graduated at the top of your class. No one was even close to your score." Kanon exclaimed.

"Besides your father." Rachel giggled. "He was just below me. Oh Neil, it brings back so many memories!" She giggled some more and then sat down, sighing.

"I'm guessing that's how you two met." Schneizel brought a plate of food to Neil and sat down next to Kanon.

"Thank you." Neil said.

"Yes, that's how we met." Rachel sighed again, "Neil, you were always congratulating me. It was so cute!"

"Mrs. Maldini would you like something to drink? You did say you were thirsty, earlier." The blonde asked.

"There's no reason to be formal with me Schneizel, just call me Rachel."

"Alright Rachel, would you like something to drink?" Schneizel asked again.

"Just some water would be nice." She said and then looked at her husband and asked, "How's the food?"

Neil's eyes were round with happiness. "This is the best meal I've had since we've been to the L'espalier. What did you make?" He asked Schneizel.

"It's Crepe Suzette. My family usually eats it in the morning."

"Holy Sh-"

"Neil!"

"You're family is a genius! You're a genius!" Neil began his way towards Schneizel and took both of Schneizel's hands. "Please marry my son!" He pleaded. "A man, who can cook, such as you, has to be a well rounded being."

"Neil!" Rachel scolded. "You know that isn't true about everyone who can cook."

"Mr. Maldini, may you let go of my hands, so I can get your wife a glace of water?"

"Please don't be formal with me!" Neil exclaimed. "Call me Neil, and I'll get my wife a glass of water." He walked off, grabbing his empty plate along the way.

At least he's on my parents' good side, Kanon thought with a sigh.

"I think they like me." Schneizel said that evening when both he and Kanon were in their bedroom.

"Good," Kanon said, "Because if they like you it's easier on me in the future."

"You make it sound like we're going to break up after you have our baby." Schneizel informed his rose haired boyfriend. "Don't you think we're going to have a future together?" He toke the other by the waist and looked into his Safire eyes.

"Yes… I do think we could have a future with each other, but things happen and- Why are you giving me that look?" Kanon screeched a little when he was pulled into a hug.

"Please don't treat me like Jun. Don't turn me into some kind of road block that ends up causing you so much pain." Schneizel implored. "Please don't."

"Schneizel… I…"

"I know you have trouble being committed to one thing for a certain amount of time. I know it bothers you so much that you want to change your mind, but I know I'll make you happy."

"Schneizel…"

"Oh you two are so cute." Kanon's head shut to where his mother was standing.

"Can you knock?" Kanon asked.

"The door wasn't shut all the way so it's fair game." Rachel entered the room without permission. "Does it matter, we're all adults." She sat on the bed and smiled at the couple.

"Mom!"

"Now, now Kanon, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. It wasn't like you two were 'doing' anything." Rachel had her head resting on the palm of her hand. "But were you two going to?"

"Mom!" Kanon pushed himself away from Schneizel to face his mother. "Why would we do such a thing when you're in the house, and besides, Anya is here too."

Rachel got off the bed and walked over to Schneizel and whispered something into his ear. After she did that she walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.

"What did she say to you?" Kanon face was red from being embarrassed.

"Hmm, your mother has an interesting taste," Schneizel murmured to himself, "I'll tell you some other time." Kanon went on his knees and took hold of Schneizel's shirt and pleaded:

"Don't keep this from me!"

Sunday,

"I want to see The Rouge." Rachel exclaimed that morning. Kanon just shot her "you are stupid," look, because The Rouge wasn't open on Sundays, but Schneizel of course had told her that he had a spare key and would let her see the closed restaurant anyway. So there they stood in the middle of the restaurant with Rachel literally spinning in circles.

"Mom it's not all that amazing." Kanon said to his mother.

"But it is!" Rachel was jumping to each corner of the restaurant to check every nock and cranny that was there to offer her attention. "It's so beautiful and spacious!"

"I'm glad you like it here." Schneizel said. He had found a table to sit at that was by the kitchen doors. "If you go into the kitchen and up the stairs that's were the manager's office is."

"Wow…" Rachel seemed to be star stroked by awe.

"Again, nothing to be amazed by," Kanon rolled his eyes. "Can we leave now?"

"Who put a stick up your butt, sweetie~" Rachel asked and then laughed, "No pun attended."

Kanon slapped his forehead. "How do you have an IQ of over 300?"

"I don't," Rachel replied, "I have an IQ of 299."

Schneizel got up. He was intrigued by Rachel's high IQ number. "Have you ever thought it would be like to work for the Britannia Company?" He asked. "Because I could find you a place easily, and fast."

"Oh please," Rachel giggled, "I'm honored, but I'm not much of an office worker," then she added, "Or a lab worker."

"That's too bad." Schneizel shrugged. "Someone with a high IQ such as you could be quiet useful in the future."

"You don't need me." Rachel brushed Schneizel's compliment off, "You have Anya to help you now." She pushed Anya in front of her and smiled deeply. "She's all you need."

"If you say so."

"Oh, by the way." Rachel handed a card to Schneizel. "I would watch out if I were you." Schneizel looked at the card and read:

"The Black Knights?"

"It's a new company like yours, and I think they're trying to pick a fight with you guys."

I'm sorry that was short but I didn't know what to write about anymore. I hope the "T's" I used worked. I looked back at my chapters and there are no dotted lines! And I thought to myself, "Euphie, readers are probably confused when you skip suddenly to a new scene when they first read it, because there isn't a line to show the scene skip!"

I am truly sorry about that! XD Anyway, I hope you found Kanon's parents interesting, because I thought they were…..
