You arrived at your apartment that night with Kuroo. You thought that it's better if he sees it himself rather than explaining in words.

Opening the door of your unit, you went in with him trailing behind you. You walked past a couple of doors then went to the living room.

You found Keiko on the floor crawling with Yoshino-san. She looked up to you with her wide eyes, she smiled when she recognized you.

"Good evening, (Name)-san. Oh, you have a visitor," she bowed her head at Kuroo and he did the same, "I'll go prepare the dinner."

You smiled at her and went to pick Keiko from the floor. Once you carried her in your arms, you turned to face Kuroo. "When you look at her, who do you see?"

"She looks exactly like Tsukki, there's no doubt that she's his daughter. I still can't believe that you've been hiding something like this," Kuroo massaged his temples while his other hand on his hip.

You smiled apologetically at him, "I'm sorry for keeping this from you. You'vee been really good to me and I feel guilty for hiding this for so long."

Kuroo sighed and looked at you, "at least you finally told me. Can I carry her?" He looked at Keiko.

You smiled and handed her over to him, you can see Keiko giving a curious stare at Kuroo. The bedhead had a gentle smile on his face as he carried your daughter around his arms. He started talking to her as if the baby understands him.

You never expected that Kuroo can handle a baby so well as if he was used to it. You smiled at the sight in front of you, thoughts came into your mind after. If only you could return the love he had been giving you, things would be a lot better. You were snapped out of your reverie when you heard a giggle and that's when you looked up to see Kuroo playing around with Keiko, throwing her gently in the air.

"I hope you don't inherit your father's attitude, he's such a grumpy kid." He said to Keiko and looked up to you, "can I visit her sometimes?" You smiled and nodded, "tomorrow's Saturday, no practice, and class. Would like to go out with me?"

You blinked, "go out? Like a date?"

Kuroo nodded, "we'll bring Keiko with us, it's more like a family date."

You chuckled, "family, huh?"

Kuroo grinned at you, "if one day you accept as your boyfriend, I'm willing to be Keiko's father and when that happens, we are considered as a family, right?"

Your smiled faded and turned into a sad one, "I really don't know how to tell Kei about his daughter. I have the feeling he will definitely get angry at me and I'm also scared of the thought that he would take Keiko away from me."

"Hey, don't think something like that. Tsukki might be the shittiest brat you may encounter but he has a heart too. I know he will never take Keiko away from his mother. You two might get back together because of her," Kuroo whispered the last part which you didn't hear.

"What makes you say that?"

"You saw his crying face earlier right? It means he still has feelings for you and once he discovers about the existence of his child, it will give him more reason to stay by your side."

"I'm not so sure about that," You frowned.

Kuroo chuckled and patted the top of your head as he looked down on you, "everything's gonna be just fine. Stop thinking about it too much. I'd rather spend my days with Keiko here,"

"You've grown attached to her so easily Kuroo," you giggled.

"Who wouldn't be? She's so beautiful and cute! She inherited her beauty from her mother and her looks from her father. You can really tell from first glance that she's truly Tsukki's child." He pinched Keiko's cheeks and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head. "So, how about it? Is tomorrow fine with you?"

"Yeah, sure." You two made your way to the kitchen as Kuroo followed you behind while carrying Keiko around his arms.

After your happy dinner, Kuroo stayed a little longer to spend time with you and go over what you will be doing tomorrow in your "family date" as Kuroo call it. Once he decided to call it for tonight, he said his good bye and left the apartment.

Morning came the next day, you woke up early to prepare yourself and your daughter for the date. After fixing everything, as if on cue the doorbell rang. Kuroo stood there in front of your door in his casual wear. His hair stands out as usual and the mischievous grin on his lips was playing the whole time as he waited for you to come out of the door.

Your first destination was a fancy restaurant that he used to eat with his family during Sunday mornings. You sat in the far corner away from eavesdropping people and their judgemental eyes. After ordering, you waited for the meal and for the meantime, you and Kuroo had a small talk about the things you wanted to do for the rest of the day. Keiko was sitting on Kuroo's lap with both of his arms wrapped securely around her waist.

"She's sure having fun today," you said, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"She sure is, she'll enjoy more when the real fun starts. I'm planning to buy her lots of toys," Kuroo kissed the top of Keiko's head.

"Kuroo, you don't have to do that." You said.

He shook his head, "there's nothing to worry about. I want to give her toys."

You unconsciously smile at the sight in front of you, "you'll make a great father someday," you blurted out.

Kuroo looked up to you with a blush on his cheeks, he was trying to fight off the grin that was trying to break out of his lips, "I am already," he replied back.

"Kuroo..." up until now, you were still not satisfied at the thought of letting Kuroo's hopes up about loving him back. You really appreciate his presence but you just couldn't bring yourself to love a man as perfect as him.

"I know that you couldn't love me back but, at least let me try to teach you. I don't want to regret not doing anything, I want to try. Just give the chance to show you," he reaches out for your hand that was resting on the top of the table. You stared at it, the warmth of his hand, the way he held it with gentleness.

You were willing to give him a chance but the thought of not working it out and unable to love him back scared you. Hurting his feeling because you couldn't love him and destroy your friendship. It was a risk for you but then you wouldn't know if things will work out if you don't try.

After coming up with a decision, you squeezed his hand and nodded. The grin on Kuroo's mouth widens as he understood what you meant.

"Thank you,"

"(Name)-chan?" You snapped your head behind Kuroo, only to see Tsukishima's older brother Akiteru and his mother but you couldn't find the golden eye man.

You automatically let go of Kuroo's hand and stood up from your seat to greet them, "A-Akiteru-nīsan! Okaa-san! Uh, I-I mean...Tsukishima-san. It's good to see you again!" You bowed your head but then you felt a pair of arms wrapped around your shoulder.

"(Name)-chan, it's good to see you again! I missed you!" Tsukishima's mother said while hugging you, she took a step back with her hands still on your shoulder, "I'm sorry about Kei,"

"We heard about it from Tadashi," Akiteru explained.

You shook your head and smiled at them, "it's all in the past now. I'm doing fine already,"

"Oh, Kuroo-kun, you're here with (Name)-chan?"

"It's nice to see you, Tsukishima-san, Akiteru-san. Yes, we're doing something today." Kuroo smiled.

Tsukishima's mother noticed the baby around Kuroo's arm. "Oh, my, who's this cute..." Keiko looked up to her, "(Name)-chan? Is this Kei's daughter?"
