Last time:
"Kayako are you sure you want this?"
She merely smiled at him as the elevator doors opened and then walked down the corridor. She came to a stop in front of her hotel room, opened it and then turned to face him.
Burning Amber eyes met dark brown eyes.
"Yes I do Kunimitsu." And with that she turned and entered her hotel room leaving her door open. Leaving the choice up to him.
It took Tezuka a couple of seconds to decide before he followed her inside her hotel room.
The door closed with a slight bang behind him.

Tezuka stirred slowly waking up. As he opened his eyes he brought one hand up to block the rays of light which were coming from the morning sun and which lit up the room with a light glow. Turning his head to the side he noticed it was still early in the morning, judging by the clock which read 6:32am on its screen.
Relaxing into the bed where he lay, he slowly became aware of two things through his sleepy haze. One was that he felt completely sated and relaxed, better than he had ever felt after a night of sleep. The second was than he was unusually warm on his left side and that a comfortable weight was on top of his chest.
Turning his head, once he saw what it was he smiled a true smile as everything from the previous night came rushing back to him.
Tezuka moved his arms and wrapped them around Kayako's waist and pulled her closer to him. He breathed in deeply, resting his head on hers, and he finally felt complete again and was thanking his lucky stars that everything has worked out between them. Tezuka was brought out of his thoughts by Kayako who was stirring.
Kayako woke to the feeling of being hugged and leaning on a surprisingly comfortable pillow which had a heartbeat. As she remembered what had happened the night before, a smile crept onto her lips.
She turned her head to look up at her husband. When she met his eyes, she smiled and leaned up to kiss him gently on his lips.
"Good Morning. What are you thinking about?"
"You." Answered Tezuka honestly.
Kayako smiled before gently pulling herself out of his arms and getting out of the bed they were in, not even bothering to cover herself as she did so.
Tezuka slipped his glasses on and watched with a slight blush on his face as Kaya made her way over to the bathroom.
"Kayako where are you going?"
She turned in the doorway to the bathroom.
"To have a shower. Care to join me." With that she turned and entered the bathroom.
Moments later Tezuka shut the bathroom door behind him with a slight click.

An hour later the pair were sitting down eating breakfast together. After their steamy shower, the pair had dressed and while Tezuka ordered a room service breakfast, Kayako attacked her long hair with a hairdryer and brush.
Kayako broke their peaceful silence reluctantly.
"How did you find me?"
"Your brother."
"Ah I see. How is everybody?"
"They miss you. We all do. We want you home."
Kayako sighed, "I know. I want to go home too."
"We can catch a flight tomorrow." Tezuka answered, slightly concerned with how worried his wife looked.
"Kayako is something wrong?"
Kayako sighed before she stood and went to gaze out of the hotel's room window. Tezuka stood, curious and slightly worried himself, as he watched her, waiting for an answer.
"Kunimitsu, I won't be able to play tennis for a while after the next couple of months."
"Kayako…. What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"Not exactly. I just don't know how to tell you."
Tezuka moved to stand right in front of her, gently resting her hands on her shoulders.
"Kaya, you can tell me anything you know. Trust me."
Kayako took a deep breath for confidence, and then looked her husband straight in the eyes and said:
" Kunimitsu. I'm pregnant."
There was a thump as Tezuka passed out from shock and hit the floor.

Two days later the married couple were siting confortable in Atobe's private jet on their way back to Japan.
"I still can't believe you fainted." Chuckled Kayako as she recalled the event.
Tezuka merely chose to ignore his wife and kept reading the book he had bought at the airport, although he shifted slightly in his seat so that Kayak could use his shoulder as a pillow.
As she settled down to sleep, Tezuka retreated into his thoughts.
He was going to be a father. Kayako was pregnant with his child; his wife was carrying their child. At first he was unsure of how to react and as much as he loathed to admit it, he was also slightly scared.
However after a lot of thinking, and getting over the shock, Tezuka realised he was proud of the fact that he was going to be a father, and excited. All that he was worried about was the reactions of everyone back home.
Both his and Kayako's parents were thrilled to say the least, both he and Kaya had no idea their mothers could squeal as much as they did. Kayako still complained that she was deaf in her left ear due to them, and Tezuka didn't disagree seeing as his ears were ringing for a couple of hours after they had phoned them.
However apart from their parents, no one else had been told about Kayako's pregnancy. They had both agreed that the news need to be said in person to their friends.
One thing Tezuka knew for sure though was that this news was sure to cause chaos back home…. Well more chaos than usual.
Tezuka sighed; he was dreading their arrival back home. Resigned to the fact that he couldn't do everything until they landed, he like his wife settled down in his seat and joined her in a peaceful sleep, with one of his arms around her shoulders and his other slung across their middles, its hand resting protectively over Kayako's stomach.
