Author's Note: Sayu has come so the peace and quiet went on holiday ;D Too bad that L is currently working on the case and Light has to deal with her all alone...


When Sayu came to the main hall of the London Airport with her huge valise, she looked around looking for the characteristic auburn head of her brother. However, she couldn't notice him anywhere. The girl frowned peeking at her watch. She was sure she had told him she would come at 11:35 in the morning. Light would never forget about something that important like picking his own underaged sister from the airport.

She was about to call him when she heard the voice from behind.

'Sayu-san?' The low familiar baritone spoke. She turned around with a smile of relief on her face. She saw her brother's husband.

'Oh, Ryuuga, I am so happy you're here!' She exclaimed hugging him tightly. L returned clumsily the embrace being quite surprised even though he'd expected that.

'Welcome to England, Sayu-san' Ryuuzaki murmured when she finally let him go.

'You can't even imagine how excited I am!' Sayu chattered cheerfully. 'And I am so so grateful, guys! That was my biggest dream to spend Christmas in London!' She looked around furrowing. 'And where's my brother, Ryuuga?'

'He couldn't come here with me. But he's preparing everything for your arrival at home' Ryuuzaki said sending her a calming smile.

'Did something happen?' She asked vigilantly at once widening her dark eyes.

'Soon you'll understand everything. But I can assure that nothing bad happened to Raito-kun' L mumbled taking her luggage. 'Let me take you to the apartment now.'

'Alrightie' she said with a smile but the nervousness was written all over her face.

They came to Light's Toyota and L packed all the stuff to the trunk.

'You still have something for Japanese cars, don't you?' She joked coming inside. She unwrapped a Snickers then and was about to start eating it when Ryuuzaki suddenly made her stop.

'I would advise against eating anything here' he murmured. 'Raito-kun is obsessed with keeping the car completely clean. He might get really angry if you left a little mess in his vehicle.'

Sayu quickly hid the snack back to her bag smiling sheepishly at the detective.

'You're right. I almost forgot that it's my brother we're talking about.' She chuckled shaking her head lightly. 'Isn't it funny, by the way? He's such a clean-freak. I sometimes wonder how you can hold on with him.'

'Each medal has two sides. I admit that sometimes I feel the urge to simply shout at him. But then I think how I adore spending my time with him and my anger just disappears.' L sighed curving his lips in a smirk.

'Love is love, huh?' The girl beside him chuckled again. 'I am so happy that you two met. Light needs someone to tame him. And you happen to be a perfect match. He is so mature at most times but sometimes acts more childishly than I do.'

Oh, you have no clue how damn right you are, the detective thought memorizing his lover's last marvelous reaction to the lost bet.

Light couldn't stand even the thought of losing and when it had appeared that L was right he had been sulking for whole three days ignoring his husband entirely. Every time Lawliet was around, Light would start talking to his big tummy nagging that the detective was the worst cheater who never played fair and that Kiseki shouldn't ever follow his example.

Ryuuzaki could see that with each day it was becoming harder for him to stay harsh towards him and that inner battle was making the boy cute in the eyes of the great detective. He would always notice these longing looks Light was sending him, begging him soundlessly to make the first step to agreement because his own pride was hurting enough.

And after the third day he finally decided to take action.

'I wonder how long Raito-kun will keep on sulking. It was only a small unimportant bet' he murmured in the evening eating a cheesecake and observing the boy who was bustling in a kitchen.

'Did you hear anything, Kiseki? Because I didn't.' Light said cleaning calmly the counter.

'Raito-kun is sweet when he sulks but is even sweeter when he does not.' L purred slowly standing up from the coach.

'Maybe I should turn on the radio to get rid of this annoying silence' the teen murmured not turning to the detective. However, the words he'd just heard made his heart skip a beat.

'And when he blushes, he is definitely the sweetest in the world' the boy suddenly heard in his ear and froze at once.

'Hmmmstrange. I get the impression that the certain cheater said something to me' Light did his best not to shiver but his skin covered in goosebumps.

'That cheater will claim your lips now, Raito-kun' L murmured and turned the teen around locking their mouths in a breathtaking kiss. Light surrendered melting in Ryuuzaki's arms and kissing back with pure passion. L then broke the kiss making the boy growl in disappointment and kneeled in front of him pecking lightly the round belly.

'Your daddy is not the only cheater here, Kiseki' he whispered. 'Your mommy has been living in denial for the last three days telling himself that he didn't want me to do exactly what I've just done. He cheated pretending that he really wasn't longing for' he didn't manage to finish because Light pulled him up again for another kiss locking the words up in his mouth. And L didn't complain because he wanted it just as much as the teen in his arms.

'Why are you smiling?' Sayu interrupted his trail of thoughts.

'I was recalling nice memories' L's smile turned into a smirk.

The detective parked on the underground parking lot and they left the car and headed for an elevator.

'I have a request to you, Sayu-san' Ryuuzaki murmured after pressing the button in the lift.

'I owe you a lot, no problem' she smiled tousling her short black hair.

'Raito-kun has recently been quite… unstable in emotions' L said carefully. 'I would ask you to be nice to him. Please, do not make him angry, Sayu-san.'

'Oh, but why? I love bantering with him!' The girl exclaimed in disappointment.

'You will see' the detective sighed and opened the door to the flat. 'Light-chan, we're home!' He said crossing the doorstep and pulling Sayu's valise behind himself.

'Wow, you have a beautiful apartment!' Sayu widened her eyes admiring the spacious and modern design.

'I'm in the living room' they heard the voice of the teen. Sayu threw off her shoes and hastened there.

'Light, why didn't you come to pick me up…?' She froze halfway when she noticed something strange about the boy. She raised her brows in disbelief. 'Did you put on weight?' She tilted her head scanning closely her brother who was sitting on the sofa with big belly, dressed up in purple tunic.

'In a way you might say that' Light smiled lightly stroking his abdomen.

'What do you mean?' The girl asked cocking her head to the other side.

'Something unbelievable happened…' L helped him stand up. 'No one is able to explain it. I am male, after all.' He carefully leaned against the detective feeling his arm wrapping around his waist. He saw the changing expression on Sayu's face. 'However, this is the truth. I am pregnant, Sayu.' He smiled widely feeling that L touched his stomach.

'Are you… serious?' Sayu squeaked weakly after a few seconds. The teen nodded. 'This is… absolutely amazing!' She screamed at the top of her voice. Her eyes were twinkling with great excitement. 'I am going to be an aunt!' She quickly jumped to them and embraced the two giggling cheerfully. 'Oh god, Light, you totally made my day!' She kissed both of his cheeks. 'May I…?' She asked hesitantly peeking down at the covered tummy. Light smiled and grabbed her hand placing it on the bulge of his abdomen. Sayu grinned widely stroking it with both hands. Light arched a brow looking at her face.

'Sayu, are you… bleeding?' He asked greatly surprised grasping her chin. A thin string of red blood was running out of her nostril.

'Oh!' She chuckled in embarrassment backing slightly and covering nose with her hands. 'I guess I overreacted a bit… um, could I use the restroom?'

L showed her the way and she hastened there shutting the door behind herself.

Light collapsed on the sofa again exhaling heavily. The detective sat down beside him and took his hand clasping their fingers.

'Just as planned' they said at the same time and chuckled quietly. Light rested his head on L's shoulder half-lidding his eyes.

'But I didn't suppose she would start nose-bleeding' the boy murmured. 'Ah, my little sis. Such a fangirl!'

When the first shock had disappeared Sayu decided she would do absolutely everything to provide the best care to her brother and his unborn baby. And so she was jumping all around him not letting him do anything which (according to her) might be too tiresome for the pregnant boy. She would relieve him of any housework he wanted to do including even those which didn't demand any effort and were rather pleasurable, like watering the plants for instance. Light particularly enjoyed doing that because it always calmed him down and helped him find peace. He used to take a lot of care of all his precious plants.

The teen was protesting heatedly against such overprotective treating but really couldn't do much about it. Sayu was like his husband - once she decided about something, she would pursue her aim without any exceptions.

Talking of L, he recently had been very busy working on the case of the bribery affair in Ireland's government connected with the assassination of few most important politicians and was barely ever leaving the studio.

That meant that Light had to cope with his sister alone and that certainly wasn't making him happy. Sayu was following him like everywhere and the teen started missing his privacy. Day by day that feeling kept on growing in strength.

'Where are you going, Light?' The girl asked one day seeing that her brother was getting ready to leave the apartment.

'I have to do some Christmas shopping. Mum and dad are coming here in two days' time and the flat still isn't decorated.' Light panted out trying to put on his boots. 'Besides, I need some more ingredients to bake the cookies…'

'Wait, I'll help you out!' Sayu quickly came to him and fixed everything. 'Just a sec and I'll get ready myself…' she came to the living room for her red jumper and came back to the hall a minute later. 'What?' She noticed Light's confused look. 'You really thought I would let you go alone? No way, you are in your sixth month of pregnancy, Light! You are not as mobile as you would be without a baby inside!' She put on her jacket, cup and gloves and adjusted the buttons on her brother's coat.

'Sayu…!' The boy hissed narrowing his eyes.

'Someone has to keep watch on you, Light. And I am doing it because Ryuuga is locked behind the door all the time.' The girl took the keys from a drawer and urged the teen to go.

'He's working' Light defended his husband still being quite pissed off.

'And I am glad because I can do all his chores' the girl murmured cheerfully locking up the door.

'I have never asked for that.' The boy snapped at her coming to the elevator.

'You didn't have to. I am more than willing to help!' She exclaimed grinning widely. 'Am I going to have a niece or a nephew?' She asked eyeing almost hungrily Light's belly.

'This is a surprise' the teen smiled patting the clothed stomach. 'However, we of course have two different options on that topic.' He rolled his eyes. 'I strongly believe that my little Kiseki is a boy but Ryuuga is sure I am carrying his daughter. I can't wait to see his face when in the end it appears we'll have a son.' He smiled devilishly.

They left the building and saw that a taxi was already waiting for them so they went inside at once. Light told the driver to take them to the Oxford Street. Sayu had her nose glued to the pane observing the marvelous views of the outside. It was already getting dark so all the Christmas decorations were lightened up. It looked totally amazing.

'I wish we celebrated Christmas in Japan as well…' she muttered with great fascination.

'I had never celebrated Christmas until I came here with Ryuuga' Light admitted. 'It's absolutely magical, isn't it?' He smiled looking at his stunned sis.

'Yes, it is…' the girl whispered. 'Oh, look at the London Eye! It's so so beautiful!' She exclaimed observing the colorful lamps on the enormous Ferris wheel and widening her eyes in astonishment. 'The only thing which is lacking is the snow…' she mumbled. 'It would be totally awesome if there was even a little of this white fluff.'

'It's difficult to have snow here, in England' Light chuckled paying for the lift and leaving the car. 'Come on now, sis. We need to buy colorful lamps for the Christmas tree and a juniper wreath.'

'And a mistletoe! Yes, it's absolutely necessary!' Sayu pointed at the shop window where the said mistletoe was hanging.

'And a mistletoe, of course' Light rolled his eyes and urged the girl to follow him. 'Tell me if you see anything you would like to purchase. I feel like spending quite a lot of money today' the teen winked at her smirking at the excitement in Sayu's black eyes.

'You are the best brother in the world!' She pecked his cheek and quickly disappeared in the first shop.

Light shook his head with a small smile and slowly came inside after her.

During the night before the arrival of his parents Light couldn't sleep at all. Even though he went to bed at nine in the evening (Sayu made him to), he wasn't able to relax and finally fall asleep. He felt the paralyzing stress thinking about the next day.

Kiseki must have felt it too because Light could feel the anxious moves and kicks inside him much more often than usually.

After three hours of rolling from one side to another he finally gave up on trials and sat up on the bed leaning against the frame and waiting for his lover. He assumed that only L could help him now.

The dead silence was ringing in his ears, he could hear the rush of his blood. His heart was pounding in a madly fast pace in his chest despite his attempts to calm down. He knew he shouldn't let himself be in such a state but he couldn't help the whole anxiety which was eating him up from the inside. He was holding his stomach tightly and looking forward slowly becoming more and more desperate. He needed L to come now.

The detective finally opened the door to their bedroom around one in the morning being utterly exhausted. Light could see the tiredness in his moves and felt guilty about his plan to tell his husband about his own problem. So he put on a fake smile and tried to calm down his shaking hands.

'Why Light-chan isn't asleep yet?' Lawliet asked noticing the boy sitting on the bed.

'I just… couldn't sleep' the teen sent him a beautiful smile hoping that Ryuuzaki wouldn't notice his twitching eyelid. 'And I wanted to see you…' he added dropping his sight and feeling that he wouldn't manage to keep the fake mask of joyfulness for long.

'Just let me take a quick shower, darling. I'll come back in a minute…' L was rubbing his tired eyes. He had almost forgotten how it was to work without any rest at all.

Light nodded and clenched his teeth looking forward again. His whole figure was trembling. It was so hard to pretend that everything was fine. His sight was becoming somehow blurry.

After ten minutes Lawliet came to the bedroom at last and went torward the boy. But suddenly he stopped seeing something strange about his lover.

'Is everything alright, Light-chan?' He asked noticing the tensed up figure of the teen, his pinky cheeks and sweat gathering on his forehead.

'O-of course, it's a-alright. Why wouldn't it be alright…?' Light stammered out and clenched his jaw again feeling the dangerous squeezing in his throat. The detective didn't believe him at all.

'Light, what happened? Are you feeling bad?' He quickly came to the teen and embraced him. 'Jesus, how uptight you are!' He whispered rubbing delicately Light's arms, trying to get him to relax.

'It's n-nothing, really. I shouldn't distract you when you're b-busy…' the teen choked out quietly quivering even more.

'You're shivering' L stated. 'It certainly isn't nothing.' He stroked delicately the boy's hot cheek. 'You are much more important than any case…' Ryuuzaki kissed Light's temple.

'B-because m-my p-parents… they… t-tomorrow and I-I…' Something cracked inside the teen and he started crying soundlessly turning away from the detective.

'Hush, my darling.… it's alright…' L murmured and pulled the boy onto his lap. He was stroking calmingly Light's back with one hand and with the second he was wiping off the tears from the teen's cheeks.

'I'm so stressed out, Lawliet' Light whimpered leaning against L's shoulder. His body was slowly releasing all the tension with every tear which rolled down his face.

'It's gonna be fine, darling. You don't need to worry about anything… please, don't cry.' L cooed and kissed the boy tasting the saltiness of his tears.

Ryuuzaki placed his hand on Light's belly and stroked it gently. Suddenly he felt a kick. After a few seconds he felt it again.

'Someone's really active today' he murmured near the boy's lips with a small smile.

'Kiseki has been kicking me for a whole day.' Light whispered when his breathing calmed down. He wrapped his left arm around his husband's neck and caressed lightly his cheek with the second hand. Lawliet kissed him again slowly and lovingly.

'Don't worry anymore, Light… It's high time to go to sleep…' He slowly laid the boy on his right side and turned off the lights. He then came to the bed and flung his arm over the teen kissing lightly the back of his head.

'Good night, Koibito. Aishiteru.' He whispered and felt that the boy buried into him even more.

'I love you too, Eru-san' Light mumbled feeling the overwhelming sleepiness and nice warmth inside of himself.

He called me Koibito, he thought smiling and falling asleep.


Second Note: L seems to be the best cure for anything in Light's case. His unquestionable love for the detective is just too sweet *.* But the real stress (named Yagami Soichiro) is still to appear, yet.
