I do not own Kuroko no Basket
Daiki loves their new house, but he hates having to unpack. He's starting to wonder just how all this stuff is going to fit into their house and how did it fit in that little apartment they'd been living in for two years. All he wants is for their new bed to arrival, but as luck would have it, none of the stuff for the bedroom will arrive for another few days.
Daiki looks at Satsuki's desk where she has placed a board that she's filling with pictures of their life, so far there's only one space left to be filled. There are many of the two of them and many with those of their friends. The first one he notices is one of the two of them as babies lying beside each other in a crib. He has his arm thrown over her, hand clenched in her baby grow, unwilling to let go even in sleep. He smirks, even as a baby he knew that Satsuki was the one.
The second is one at the Momoi family lake house. Their about six and he's doing a peace sign, while Satsuki stands beside him holding up a small fishing net. It's the year when he found the frog and made Satsuki cry, he's sure she has the picture of that incident put away in one of the albums.
Another photo was their first kiss, but Satsuki would deny it to the bitter end to anyone who asked about it. They were 8 and it was his birthday, auntie had told Satsuki to give him a kiss. He had turned and instead of kissing his cheek, she ended up kissing his lips. He always got great satisfaction knowing that he is the only one to have ever kissed Satsuki.
The next is of them on the first day at Teiko, they stood together outside in Satsuki's back garden under the cherry blossom tree. He looks at the camera board as ever, while Satsuki has a grip on his sleeve and she has a small smile upon her lips. He can remember his mother scolding him for not smiling and it's only now that he thinks he wishes he had smiled.
There's the team picture of Teiko and even though Satsuki should have been stood at the side alongside the coach and head coach, he had made sure that she stood in front of him right beside Akashi. He has his hand placed on her shoulder and he notes that this is probably the only photo of that time where he had been happy.
Daiki's favorite by far is the picture of them on their wedding day. Satsuki was the most beautiful bride he had ever seen and he had never felt more pride then he had hearing her say "I do". He'll never know why someone as beautiful as Satsuki settled for someone like him, but as long as she's by his side he doesn't care.
"Dai-chan, what are you doing? I thought you were helping me." Satsuki asks and he turns to see her standing in the doorway with a box in her arms.
"Oi!, What are you doing? You know you can't be lifting anything." He tells her rushing to lift the box from her arms and place it on the floor. Gently he reaches out to rub the growing bump that holds their son. He swells with pride when his son kicks where he has his hands placed. "He's strong." He comments.
"Like his daddy," Satsuki tells him placing a hand atop of his own.
"Is he kicking? Let me feel!" Kise drops the box he's carrying and rushes to Satsuki side, but his jacket is caught in the iron hold of none other then Murasakibara, who out of all their friends has grown the most protective over Satsuki, after Daiki himself. Ever since Satsuki had told him, the tall man has taken to spending more and more time with Satsuki, in fact, she goes out to dinner with him more than she does her husband. Daiki doesn't even blink anymore when he comes home to find the tall man in their home.
"I've warned you Kise-chin, I will crush you if you touch Sa-chin without asking," Murasakibara warns as he holds Kise.
"Ah Muk-kun, Ki-chan just wants to feel the baby kick, it's okay," Satsuki assures when she see's that Murasakibara isn't about let Kise go anytime soon.
Murasakibara frowns but releases Kise from his hold, but he makes sure to whisper so that only Kise can hear. "If you hurt Sa-chin, I will crush you."
This does nothing to stop Kise from running up to Satsuki's side and looking at Daiki for permission, seeing as he hasn't removed his hands from the baby bump. Sighing Daiki stands back and goes to collect the box Kise dropped.
Gently Satsuki takes Kise's hands and places them where the baby is kicking. "Ki-chan are you okay?"
Kise's eyes were wide with wonder and Satsuki wondered if he heard. "Satsuki will make a great mother." He tells her, causing Satsuki to blush.
"Okay enough, Kise get back to work, there are many more boxes still left outside," Akashi instructed as he came inside carrying another box, but he too takes the time to feel the small life kick from inside his mother belly. If there is one person Satsuki knows will spoil her child, it has to be Akashi. Akashi has a busy life so isn't around as much as the other's, but when he shows up, he usually has a mountain of gifts for her unborn son. "My god-child is strong indeed," Akashi states when the baby kicks his hand.
Murasakibara frowns looking at the scene but does not say a word, although Satsuki can see he wants nothing more than to claim the child as his own god-child.
"Are you sure it's okay for you to spend your time helping? I mean, I know how busy you are, I wouldn't want to overwork you." Satsuki asks as Akashi leads her to sit on the sofa.
"No need to worry Satsuki, I have all the time in the world when it comes to the child," Akashi assures, once more rubbing the probing belly. "Has he been given a name yet?"
Satsuki catches Daiki frown out of the corner of her eye. "Actually I'm letting Daiki name him so..."
To say Daiki looked surprised would be an understatement. "So Daiki, any names yet?"
"Eh?" He still looked confused and Satsuki couldn't help the giggle that fell from her lips. "Well, I guess I have a few names in mind."
"You must tell me the moment you decide," Akashi says turning to stare Daiki down.
"Of course we will, right Dai-chan?" Daiki breathes a sigh of relief, trust Satsuki to get him out of a jam.
"Yeah," He agree's quick.
Murasakibara frowns from where he sits, Kise pouts setting down another box, while Midorima's huffs in annoyance.
"This is the last box, Momoi," Midorima tells setting the box in the kitchen before reentering the room.
"Midorima, how many times I got to tell you, Satsuki's name is Aomine now!" Daiki said and like the old days, each of them had to get their word in.
It's only later that night when she and Daiki are alone that Satsuki can fully relax. There finally in their home, they've gotten some of their things unpacked and the kitchen is fully stocked, with the added bonus of a few cooked meals from Murasakibara, who made it clear that they were for Satsuki alone, but she doesn't mind sharing with Dai-chan.
They're sat on the sofa, TV turned off just enjoying the company of each other.
Suddenly Daiki moved reaching into his pockets to take out something. "Forgot, I dropped by by Mom's today, she said to give you this back she got it copied yesterday."
Taking it carefully Satsuki smiled at the ultrasound photo of their son. "Hold on a sec." She said getting up and walking over to her desk in the corner.
Daiki smirked as he watched as she pinned the photo, filling the last space up. There smack down in the center is their son, the last piece of the puzzle to their lives.
"He fits in perfect." Satsuki turned to face Daiki with a smile and sure enough, he too was smiling.
"He sure does, doesn't he?" Daiki felt immense pride looking at the picture. "He'll look even better when we can actually see him."
Returning to her space cuddled against Daiki side, Satsuki didn't need to voice her agreement. In a couple of more weeks, their son would be here and she couldn't help but wonder, "Do you think I need another board to for the picture's we'll take of him?"
