Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long to update. School started. More info in my ever-important blog. Anyways, this chapter...I didn't really know too much of what I wanted to happen, but I was daydreaming and figured out some of what I wanted to happen, and hoped that I could go on from there. ^_-

So, Soichiro knows...UH OH! Enjoy the chapter, dudes!

Warning: ((I know, I'm not supposed to put a warning anymore, but...)) This chapter touches upon certain things that are new to the story, and deserve a warning. Abortion. I am Pro- Choice, just to get that out there. Before the hate-mail starts pouring in, please know that I can TOTALLY see where pro-life people are from. A baby is alive, even in its earliest stages. I've seen videos in health class; I know. I would never want to kill a baby myself, no matter how young it is. However, there are times when I think that aborting a baby is the only way. It's the same thing w/ Life Support, in my eyes, just the opposite end of life. ((no pun intended)) Rape-babies is one of those where I just can't believe in pro-life completely. Anyways, the reason I'm saying all this now is b/c there will be things such as abortion, adoption, etc, being brought up from now on. This chapter is only the beginning ((though it was mentioned in passing last chapter)).

Disclaimer: If I owned Death Note, do you really think that Light would have given in to his inner Kira? Well, let's see if he does this time around...^_- ((Yes, I'm serious. IDK what he's gonna end up doing.))

Chapter 10

L's eyes widened and he gulped, trying to wet his suddenly dry throat. "What does Yagami-san mean by that?" L asked as monotonously as he possibly could. He knew exactly what the other man was getting at, but he needed to stall, needed time to realize exactly what was going on.

"I think you know exactly what I mean, Ryuzaki." Soichiro's voice was eerily calm. L had faced guns to the head, bombs in the room next to him, and empty refrigerators, but he never had to face something as scary as Soichiro Yagami, an angry, over-protective father.

Staring at the monitors where Soichiro was visibly tense, only his voice calm, L asked, "Could Yagami-san clarify exactly why my current health may me at risk, just so he and I are on the same page?"

Anger flashed across Soichiro's face and he stood up, chair almost knocked over from the force, but only scooted back a foot. He shouted in rage, "You fucking liar! You knocked up my son!"

Matsuda was the closest to L at this point, so he could hear the most of what Soichiro said. The doctors had definitely confirmed it then; Light was pregnant. He glanced behind him to see that Aizawa and Mogi were both staring at L, but neither looked traumatized, meaning all they heard was incomprehensible screaming. Matsuda almost sighed in relief, knowing it was best for Light's pregnancy to remain a secret for now.

Aizawa and Mogi both wondered what had the Chief so riled up. Was Light going to be all right? Was he in a coma? Was he going to die? They were scared for the teen. He was a good kid with a bright future ahead of him. All he needed was his normal body, and everything will be right on track.

Wait, what if the doctor had told Soichiro that the pills weren't going to work anymore on the teen? That would certainly be reason enough for the Chief to get mad and wish to harm L, if the detective's words were anything to go by.

"Ah…I see…" L answered back. He knew it. Now was the hardest part: Light's father knew he was pregnant, and Light still didn't. Matsuda and L also knew…This didn't sound too good, for anybody.

"You knew, didn't you? Didn't you? You knew you impregnated my perfect son! How'd you do it? Did you give him a special hormone? Did you cut open his…you-know-what to insert some shot or whatever? I mean, there is no possible way he would…" Soichiro stopped his rambling, eyes as wide as L's, from what he could see on the screen. "You raped my son? DIDN'T YOU?"

L was simmering. He did no such thing! He would never rape Light! They loved each other! They were dating, for fuck's sake! But he couldn't share any of that with Soichiro without Light's permission. Therefore…he could say nothing except, "I swear upon my life that I have not and will never do any of the things you have suggested. Now, if Yagami-san could please calm down, and—"

"Calm down? You want me to calm down? How can I calm down when there's a tiny abomination growing inside my son's stomach?" Soichiro began pacing.

L almost wanted to correct Soichiro and say that it was technically his uterus, but realized that he couldn't give anything away to the others in the room, besides Matsuda obviously. On the screen, L could see Soichiro's pacing, but also Light's squirming, fidgeting. He was waking up! No, L had to be there when Light heard the news. He was the father of that child, after all!

"As soon as that doctor comes back into this room, I'm ordering him to get that parasite out of my son!" Soichiro went on to rant.

NO! L jumped from his chair, letting it roll out behind him. As he jogged towards the door he had only entered from a short while ago, he grabbed Matsuda's arm and ordered, "Yagami-san will do no such thing!" He hung up the cell phone and shoved it into Matsuda's stomach. They were heading towards the garage, where an assortment of cars laid in wait. "Which is Matsuda-kun's car?" he asked quickly.

Matsuda understood and led L to his car, letting the detective get into to passenger seat while he circled around to the driver's side. "To the hospital?" he questioned. L only nodded the affirmative and stared straight ahead.

The young man drove as quickly and recklessly as he could without getting in trouble. In the meantime, L remained silent, trying to figure out exactly what he was doing.

He wanted to be with Light when the boy heard the news. He also wanted to stop Soichiro from aborting the baby before Light even knew about it. He couldn't kill the child. It was L's choice…partially his choice, at least. But this baby…what was to become of it? If Light really did want to get rid of it, would he allow the teen?

This could be a legitimate successor to the L title one day, if it was allowed to live long enough. After all, it was L's real child, unlike those at Wammy's House now. And it would be the product of two geniuses. Then again, an enemy could easily use the child to his or her advantage. And if Light became Kira again, then…that would be even worse.

At that moment, Matsuda pulled into a parking space at the hospital. As soon as the car stopped moving, L bolted out of it, not even slamming the door behind him. He ran straight to the front doors, straightening his back just enough from his slouch that he could run properly. Once inside, he spotted the front desk and immediately asked for permission to go to Light's room. He filled out a form, stating once again that he was the teen's boyfriend so he could see him.

By that time, Matsuda had entered and was standing beside L. "He's with me," L stated simply with such firmness that the women let both in. "Matsui, come," L called behind him as he hurried down the halls to Light's room.

"Ah, right! Coming, Hideki-kun!" Matsuda answered, jogging after L's quick strides. He kept with the aliases just as L wanted, or would have wanted, if he'd been in his right mind at that moment.

They quickly arrived at Light's door and L didn't even bother knocking before barging inside. He could see Soichiro fuming next to the bed, one leg crossed over the other, arms crossed as well. He was staring directly at Light's stomach, probably wishing the saying "if looks could kill" would come true.

He looked up at the intrusion. "Get out!" he yelled. "You have no business here unless you're about to sign whatever you need to get that fucking thing out of my son!"

L just continued to rush to the bed. Once next to Light's head, he leaned over and murmured, "Light-chan, please…wake up. We need you to wake up right now." Light was already fidgeting quite a lot, trying to wake up. L's voice was the last thing he needed.

Amber eyes opened to see L's worried face over his. "Ryuzaki…" he sighed, a hand reaching up to cup L's cheek. He could barely make out through the foggy haze wrapped around him that L's eyes widened considerably and his head was shaking "no" slightly. What was wrong? Where was he?

"Light, what the fuck are you doing?" his father questioned. The fog cleared just enough for him to take in that he was in a hospital, in a bed, L leaning over him, his father on his other side, towards his feet, and Matsuda was off in the corner.

Then he realized what was going on. He quickly dropped his hand to his side and tried to understand what was going on. What had happened? He voiced the question, throat raw. L pressed the nurse call button, both to tell the nurse that Light was awake, and to perhaps get him some water.

When the nurse came, she was greatly surprised to see L back, and with someone new. She was already informed of Light's "condition" and thought that perhaps the other man must be his brother, or something like that. She then noticed that Light was awake and was about to leave to inform the doctor when L asked for water for Light.

"I'll be right back with it, then," she replied before leaving.

L turned back to Light, ready to answer the teen. It was just then that Soichiro realized that Matsuda was in the room with them. "Ryuzaki—"

"Hideki."

"Shut up. Why is Matsuda—?"

"Matsui."

"Shut up! Why is he in here? Get him out before we talk!" Soichiro finally was able to get out.

L only looked up at the older man, staring at him. "No need," he stated simply. Soichiro's eyes widened, realization swift and painful. Matsuda knew too? Did that mean the whole Task Force knew?

With a sigh, L finally turned back to his love and explained. "Sorry, Light-chan. You passed out from heat stroke when we were playing tennis. We rushed you to the hospital, but…they found out about…everything."

No…No! That couldn't be possible! How could people find out about Light's secret? And more importantly, how had he actually passed out? He was Light Yagami, tennis champion! He couldn't get heat stroke, could he? That would just be another reason his body wasn't perfect anymore. L would probably never want to play tennis again, meaning he wouldn't have as much fun with him ever again. Would L ever forgive him?

"There's one more thing…" L whispered, hand coming to rest on Light's stomach. His other hand took hold of one of Light's. This didn't look good. Was he going to die? No, nonsense. But…maybe his medicine wasn't going to work anymore, as he didn't seem to be working before.

"Wait! Matsui's still in…" Soichiro began before a growl burst from his throat. He rounded the bed and glared right in L's face. "Who else knows?" he spat.

Cowering in the corner, Matsuda answered for L, "A-as far as I could t-tell, nobody else, Chief."

Wait, know what? What was wrong? This really wasn't good if people weren't supposed to know. Light began to shake, worried and scared. Did…did his father find out about his and L's relationship? That must be it! Oh, god, no! This just wasn't his day, was it?

Just then, the nurse knocked on the door and entered, a tray with a pitcher and cup in her arms, and the doctor following right behind her. As the doctor walked to those around the bed, the nurse poured water into the cup and brought it to Light, smiling slightly at the intertwined hands. She was glad that Light's boyfriend was back, thinking his father was a little too hard.

"Good afternoon, Yagami-kun," the doctor greeted warmly, and then introduced himself. "I see you're finally awake. I'm glad. And I'm glad to see you surrounded by such…loving friends and family." His gaze landed on Matsuda.

The young man just smiled shyly and waved. He felt really awkward being there, but suspected that L didn't want Watari to know anything just yet. Therefore, the only logical solution was to bring the only other person who knew anything about their relationship.

The doctor turned to Light again and carried on. "Now, there are a few things that I believe we should discuss. First of all, no more taking the pills. They are hurting your body in too many ways at this point, and are not going to be powerful enough to stop any of the heavy amounts of estrogen and other hormones from taking over your body."

Light's eyes widened immensely, as did his dad's. He couldn't stop taking the pills! They were giving him his normal body again! What could be harmed from the pills, seriously?

"Also, I believe it would be wise to have a checkup once a month, seeing as this condition is quite rare. A few surgical procedures are also in order if—"

"Nonsense, there's no way that my son will go through with such a…with a…with it!" Soichiro burst out. He would not have it. Light was getting rid of that baby and that's final!

The doctor sighed. "Now, Yagami-san, I understand this is a lot to take in. However, this is his choice, and if he wishes to go through with it, then there is no stopping him. After all, he is of legal age and can do whatever he pleases. That includes being with whomever he pleases."

L wished to gloat, Soichiro was fuming, and Matsuda was so happy someone else was standing up for Light and L's relationship. However, there was one thing nagging at the back of his mind…

Light was utterly confused. Wait, what were they talking about? What was his choice? Go through with what? His mind was still a little hazy, and so he couldn't put all the puzzle pieces together. What he could make out, though, was that the doctor and his dad definitely knew about his and L's relationship. That, in and of itself, was not good. In fact, it was terrible. His father would not allow it in the slightest. After all, he was supposed to be a man, date a woman, and have babies with her.

Instead, he was in love with a man, and wished to be with that man forever, as long as nothing got between them. Of course, they would have to elope as soon as the Kira Case was solved, so that Light could stay with L and not have his father to worry about. He knew his sister was open-minded, and his mom would hopefully love him no matter what. But his father…

Finally, L noticed his boyfriend's confusion and it dawned on him that there was something important that Light didn't know. "Doctor-san," he cut in. "There's something important that Light-chan must know…"

"Huh?" the doctor asked. Then he realized what was going on. "Oh…oh, right. Of course. Yagami-kun," he addressed the teen laying in bed. He took a deep breath and continued, while all the others in the room held their breath. "You're…pregnant."

Light nodded his head in false understanding. He couldn't have heard right, could he? The doctor did not just say that. Those words were not just uttered from the medical professional's lips. Impossible. Utterly impossible.

His thoughts traveled back in time, to his…escapades with L, to his words to L the first day he looked like a woman.

L, I can get pregnant through butt sex! I don't want to be a mom, Ryuzaki!

It was possible. The doctor's words were possible. He could be…pre…preg…pregnant.

In blind rage, Light squeezed the hand in his, nails digging into the pale skin. His other arm lifted and he formed a fist, shaking it in L's direction. "You're dead!" he screamed. Like father, like son.

Author's Note: I enjoy keeping Light in the dark. That was really funny, that he's the one pregnant, but the last to know. XP

I'm sorry. I had to put in that ending. In the middle of my writing that scene, when I had to stop 'cause it was too late at night and I had to go to bed or something, I got the idea and tried to actually go along w/ it. I did. Yay! I thought it would be hilarious if Light did the same thing to L as Soichiro did, showing that they're not completely seperate people, you know? Please don't kill meh!

Alrighty, so Matsu was supposed to stay at the headquarters and watch L through the cameras - getting his POV as well as making sure that you guys didn't hear what L and Soichiro really talked about at the hospital. Then I decided against that and realized that L would force Matsuda to come for 1) moral support and 2) he didn't want Watari to know...yet.

So, this chapter did contain a lot more comedy than the last chapter. Don't worry, L won't die. Light's just a hormonal preggers person. XD According to another Mpreg story, you can always "blame the hormones." So, just blame the hormones.
