Guess what? Its a new chapter!

I have noticed that I'm getting a question popping up, asking if I finished the story and I just wanted to say that I haven't. I was planning on finishing this story before posting it, but I wanted to post while I was working on it. I don't know if that answers your question or not...anyway lets get on with this story. What happens to Shuichi's newly born family?

BTW: Alko = Aimi and Akira = Hikaru I changed the names some time ago and didn't get to go back and change them sorry!


CHAPTER 7


*Yuki p.o.v.*

I watched as Shu could only stare at Hikaru as he fed him; his hand gently touching his face and hair, his finger in Hikaru's tight grasp. "I love you," he horsed out, tears spilling onto Hikaru's blue blanket along with the rest of the fallen tears. "Daddy loves you too, you know?" he whispered and tried to smile, "Everyone," Shuichi started to sob, "everyone is going to love-love you!"

I walked towards them, and picked up Hikaru with the uttermost care from his mother, he started to cry when he was taken from the warmth and replaced with another warmth. Shuichi covered himself up and laid back in bed, curled under the covers, silently crying over our lost newborn.

Sitting next to the window, I started to rock Hikaru to sleep, whispering a little story to him. When he wouldn't sleep, I stood up and swayed us, he opened his eyes to show me his hazy brown and purple eyes that showed sadness. "You miss her, too, huh?" I whispered. His eyes started to water, a wail coming, "We miss her too, Hikaru, I'm just glad that we didn't lose both of you."

"Or neither," I turned to see Dr. Kato, his dark brown eyes shining, "I was glad that we checked her before we started the autopsy." He opened the door a little more and pushed in an incubator that had pink bows around it.

"What do you mean?" I turned to see that Shuichi was already fast asleep and that Hikaru was smiling as he slept soundly in my arms.

"Well, her heartbeat is very soft, its not strong. I already checked her heart and noticed that she has an irregular heartbeat. It won't do any damage to her in life, her heart just works a bit differently than her brother's." He smiled, "We're doing some more tests to make sure that was the only problem, so she'll be in and out for a couple of days. And if everything is fine, she'll leave with her brother in two days!" He pushed the "crib" next to Shuichi, so if he woke up he would see his baby, "Any questions?"

"Just one," I carefully placed Hikaru back in his "crib", "why is Aimi in that?" I walked over to her and saw that her eyes were barely opening and a smile appeared on her face when I caught her eye.

"We're still checking her immune system, the test results should be ready in an hour or so. But its just a precaution for her." I nodded.

"Thank you," I saw holes on the side and pushed my hands through them, arm length gloves came to life and I touched her thin and puffy light pink hair. "Hi," I heard the Doctor chuckle but ignored it.

"I'll be back with the results and we'll know what to do after that," I nodded, not looking away from my baby who was in my arms. I looked up to see the door closing and then to Shuichi who was staring at the box in front of me.

"She's home, Shu," carefully moving her up so that Shuichi could see her, "she's even more beautiful than how I remember!" my eyes started to sting. Placing her back on the "crib" I pulled out one of my arms and rubbed my eyes before putting the arm back.

"But I thought-" Shuichi sat up, hissing in the little pain that was left.

"I told you, she's part of both of us. She has your strength to get through anything and my endurance." Shuichi moved as close as he could to the "crib" and smiled at her, and in return smiled at him before she closed her eyes to sleep. "Dr. Kato said that if the test results came back and she was ok, she'll be out of the incubator by the end of the day. And she can come home with her brother."

Shuichi nodded, "I'm glad that we're a family again!" Shuichi smiled at me, and, just like all the times when he smiled at me before, my heart stopped beating for just a moment before picking up speed.

I opened to say something but Hikaru decided that that was when to wake up, screaming. Sighing I turned to see a red faced baby boy screaming at the top of his little lungs, I picked him up he quieted and opened his eyes. "You're going to be like your mother, I can see that..." I gave him to Shuichi who seemed more alive than before. "I think he's still hungry, brat," Shuichi nodded at him and lifted him up in his arms, giving me the look that I had to move the paper dress around so that he could feed him. When Shuichi pried open his full lips that he got from Shu, he started chugging down the milk like no tomorrow.

"I guess-" he winced at how hard Hikaru was sucking on him, "he was starving, haha!" he winced again. I sat on the bed next to them, my hand brushing over the thick blond locks on Hikaru's small head as he ate.

"Wow, Mr. Yuki knows how to be gentle!" said Hiro from behind Yuki, behind Hiro was the whole family. Almost.


*Normal p.o.v.*

Shuichi smiled at Yuki who pulled the blanket over his chest, not wanting anyone to see Shuichi's chest as he fed Hikaru. "You could at least knock, morons." threatened Yuki, getting up and standing next to his new addition to the family.

"Oh, hush, Eiri," sighed Tohma as he walked into the room and stood next to Shuichi, across from Yuki, "how are you three doing?"

"Just fine, Mr. Seguchi!" Shuichi smiled, "We might go home together in a couple of days!" Shuichi giggled.

Mika and Tohma's one year old was there in Mika's arms; Hiro was there with a plush toy of a guitar for Hikaru and a first doll for Aimi and asked what was wrong with her. Yuki explained that the doctor wanted her to be in there till she was given the ok. Everyone looked at her and then her brother who was being passed around after he fed from Shuichi; Aimi was smaller than her brother. Not by much, but it was noticeable. Fujisaki came in briefly, saying that he was going to be late to school, and dropped off a basket of baby toys and left. Tatsuha came in and planted himself on the chair that Yuki had used to rock him and Hikaru to sleep. K came in with Sakano, he left his guns with Yuki so he could hold Hikaru, cooing to him. Sakano kept his hands to himself, he wasn't sure how to hold a baby so he just watched over K's shoulder. Shuichi was was talking to Hiro, laughing when Hiro told him what happened to Yuki's hand after he gave birth.

Slowly everyone started to leave, telling them that they'll come by as soon as they can. Tohma, Mika, and their toddler stayed behind. Tohma, standing next to the door while Mika bounced the baby on her lap next to him. Yuki huffed down on a free chair, sighing tiredly, Shuichi smiled at him. Hikaru was back in his crib, fed and changed, sleeping with his thumb in his mouth. "Mr. Shindo," Tohma started, getting a warning look from Mika and Yuki but ignored them. Shuichi nodded at him to continue, "I'll have you on paid leave until you are ready to come back to work. But you mustn't be hasty, you'll have to wait a couple of months before you can come back. And if you'd like, I could give you the whole year off?"

Shuichi's eyes widened, as did Yuki's and Mika's; "A whole year off? Or a whole year that I don't go to any concerts or tours?" Shuichi tilted his head, 'Too good to be true...'

"No concerts or tours, the first year is when a ton of things happen for one child, but you have two, you don't want to miss anything." Tohma motioned with his hand, "I have a feeling that there are going to be more trips to the hospital in the middle of the night as years pass," Shuichi blushed and nodded, "but, its your first that you learn the ins and outs of what to do and not to do."

"I understand." Shuichi smiled, "The year off sounds good, Mr. Seguchi, I think that would be best for me. I don't think I can stay away from work for very long anyway!" He laughed.

"Good then, I should first see you in two months. I'll announce that you'll be coming to work soon and there won't be any tours for a year or so." Shuichi nodded, "So, Eiri," he turned to him, "think you can control yourself so that he won't get pregnant again so quickly?"

Huffing, Yuki turned away from everyone, trying to hide his blush, "Whatever..."

"Good," Tohma turned to his wife and child, "ready to go home?" a few minutes later, Tohma had left with his family, leaving Yuki with his own.

An hour had passed, Yuki was on the same bed as Shuichi spooning him from behind as they slept, when Doctor Kato walked in with a chart and a smile on his face that grew when he noticed that the family was close together. The babies were on one side of the bed in their cribs while their parents faced their way as they slept. Pulling in an extra crib with him, he closed the door as quietly as he could and walked over to where Aimi was sleeping. Checking on how she was doing, he opened the incubator and gently removed the wires that covered her face before placing her in another crib. Once she was in the new crib, he placed it next to her brother and rolled the unused one near the door. Checking on Hikaru, he smiled when he moved his head to face his sister as he slept, every now and then he heard a snoring coming from him then his father. He rolled the incubator out of the room, making sure that the clipboard at the foot of Shuichi's bed that said that the babies were ready to leave as was their mother.
