Chapter 10

Disclaimer- I own nothing!

Sitting in Akito's office waiting for him to arrive Kyouya knew Tamaki would be pissed with him. He had "forgotten" about today's appointment so he sent Tamaki off to work. It was nothing against Tamaki per say it was just that he didn't want to see him worry about his visit for days on end before it actually happened. Still he knew Tamaki would find out somehow and then his mood swings would kick in and he would get an ear full.
"So when do you leave for France?" Akito walked in placing his bag down, grabbed his stethoscope and got to work. Kyouya sharply inhaled at the cold metal, he really hated that.
"Next Wednesday, why is something wrong?"
"No, I was just curious since I knew it was coming up."
"I see, well we were hoping to leave the twenty-seventh but Tamaki has an appointment the twenty-eight so we have no choice but to fly out the first."
"Are you staying a full week? Take a deep breath for me."
Kyouya did as he was instructed before continuing. "We are planning for a full week at least. I'm trying to convince him to stay until the eleventh instead of the ninth but he is being stubborn about it for some reason."
"Well tell him not to worry about your health, from what I hear everything sounds clear but you know the drill, blood work and scans. So which do you want to take care of first?"
"Blood work I guess since I'm right here."
"Alright then." Walking over to the counter Akito got everything ready and put together. "Arm." Kyouya gave him his left arm just in case he bruised like last time.
"How much longer do I have to do this? When can I go back to work?"
Akito kept one eye on the needle while one stared at Kyouya wondering if he heard him right.
"Kyouya most don't go back to work for six months to a year after and that's if they stay cancer free. You've only been out of work, what, three, four months tops? Sorry but you won't be joining me again for some time still."
That wasn't what he wanted to hear, he was bored at home. While he loved being home to greet Tamaki he had nothing to do before then.
"Even if I'm doing well I can't go back sooner?"
"Are you broke or something? Look if you can't stand being home that badly we'll talk after your trip." Capping off the vial of blood he lead Kyouya down the hall for his scan and handed the blood sample to a nurse so it could be tested at the lab. As much as Kyouya wasn't crazy about all that took place during these visits he was grateful that it never took too long and the small talk he had with Akito was a nice touch.

Tamaki was finding it harder and harder each day to stay focused as next week approached. He couldn't wait for Tuesday so he could learn the gender of the baby and then the day after he was flying out to see his mother. He hadn't seen her since he was fourteen so saying he was excited was an understatement. He had only gotten reports about her health once his father told him about knowing where she was currently living. He had wanted to go see her after he graduated from Ouran, he had truly missed her but he feared his grandmother too much. Hopefully his mother would understand why he did it. As Tamaki tried to get back to work he wondered if his father said anything about him currently being pregnant when he saw her the other week. He hoped not so they could surprise her when they arrived. Even if Yuzuru did they could still surprise her with what they were learning soon so he guessed it didn't really matter. Let's see today was Monday the twentieth so that meant Kyouya had an appointment with Akito. Kyouya may have thought that he could "forget" to tell him that he was seeing him but he forgot that they had gone together the last time and he added it to his phone as Kyouya did. Still he wasn't mad, he could figure out why Kyouya would but he was going to get him tonight. Under normal circumstances he would tease him with sex but that plan would hurt him too and he was already having enough trouble dealing with that fact that he couldn't throw himself on him. While it had gotten a little better than it had been it was still there and probably wouldn't go away until he got what he desired. Getting his mind off sex, or lack of, he plotted different ways to mess with him.

Kyouya hated having the energy to do something when there was nothing to do. Since he was Akito's brother he got the results to his blood work and scan before he left the office. Everything came back fine which kept him in a good mood and even though he didn't have as much energy as he used to due to the medication he was still on he could still do things. Ever since he picked up drawing again he did that. He was planning to do a longer project but he still needed to know a few things first before he could start. Thinking about it there were some things he could do now. Heading into the garage he searched through drawers the staff used for what he needed. Having it take twenty minutes to find two of the three objects helped pass time. At least now he knew the staff was well equipped to handle almost any problem. Grabbing a pencil from his office he headed upstairs to finally get to work.

Tamaki walked into the house, hung up his coat and was surprised to not see Kyouya. This was a first since he had been home. Checking the living room and office to see both empty he started to worry that something happened at the doctors. Walking into the kitchen he was hit with the wonderful aroma of dinner and the staff setting the table up for it.
"Welcome home Master Tamaki. Dinner will be ready shortly."
"Have any of you seen Kyouya today?"
"Yes sir I did. He came out of the garage and went upstairs I believe around one I think. I'm not sure what he is working on for he wouldn't say."
"So he is home, okay, thank you." Turning around he walked out and up the stairs. There were only two rooms he could be working on, their bedroom and the nursery. Their bedroom, unless he wanted to remodel it, didn't need work so that left the nursery. Sure enough as he got closer he saw the door open and Kyouya in front of the wall on the left side of the room holding a tape measure and a pencil in his mouth. Not saying a word and trying not to make a sound he walked up behind him to see what he was working on.
"Looks nice, what is it?" Kyouya jumped hearing Tamaki's voice, luckily his pencil wasn't on the wall. Erasing wasn't the easiest thing to do as he learned that the hard way already. What time was it? There was no way he spent four hours on this already, he had barely anything to show for it.
"Hello Tamaki. Welcome home; and you'll find out when I'm done."
"Oh come on please?"
"Forget it. Do you know if dinner's done yet?" Stepping away from his outline sketch he realized he was quite hungry.
"Just about I think."
Taking Kyouya's hand he led him out of the room and back downstairs to the kitchen.

Kyouya was just about to stick a piece of dinner in his mouth when Tamaki got him. Looking over at him he saw that he wasn't angry, or didn't look it anyway but he did seem smug as he continued to eat like he said nothing.
"So how did it go at your appointment?"
"Just fine, everything came back normal and clear. Akito says hi by the way."
"That's good to hear. When do you go back?"
"The twenty-first of March at eleven."
"I'll tell my father once we get back then."
"Alright." It was stupid for him to say not to worry about it since Tamaki would complain and since he didn't seem mad at him for today he wasn't going to push it.

The week went by pretty uneventfully since Kyouya got a basically clean bill of health. It put both of them at calm states of mind since they didn't have to worry about that anymore. Monday night both sat in bed together, Kyouya kept his hands around Tamaki while they watched TV. Tamaki rested his head on Kyouya, this was comfortable to him. If he wanted to he could fall asleep just as they were. He wouldn't though since he figured it wouldn't be comfortable for Kyouya who was against the metal back board.
"Any ideas for tomorrow Tamaki?"
"Hmm? Any ideas for what?"
Smiling while he rolled his eyes at how zoned out Tamaki was he moved his hand over Tamaki's slight baby bump while he kissed his neck. Tamaki smiled as he placed a hand over Kyouya's. It seemed Tamaki got what he was talking about now.
"I don't know, I'm not hoping for one over the other I guess. We waited so long for this chance that I'll be happy no matter what we have. What about you?"
"It would be nice to have a princess to spoil but we could do the same with a son as well so I'm either or as well."
"I guess we'll find out tomorrow then."
"I guess so."
They stayed just as they were for awhile longer before calling it a night.

Today was a busy and exciting day for them. They got to learn of the baby's gender finally and then had to pack for their flight tomorrow. They could have packed earlier but they knew it wouldn't take long so they could wait without worry. Not to mention that it helped the excitement for Tamaki knowing that tomorrow he would be on his way to see his mother after thirteen years.
"Tamaki are you dressed yet? You're going to be late if you take any longer." Kyouya walked into the bedroom from the hallway to see Tamaki getting his shoes on, about time.
"I know. I had a dilemma getting dressed it seemed."
"All good now?" Kyouya stood next to him watching him finish tying his shoes.
"I'm dressed aren't I?" Standing up he fixed his foot in his shoe and started walking out. "We are going to have to stop somewhere before we come home and pack. I am not dealing with this in France."
Since Tamaki hadn't yet said what "this" was Kyouya could only imagine he was talking about his clothes. He had been complaining about that for a while now. It wasn't that big of a deal; if Tamaki had to go shopping then they would go shopping. He could have gone sooner if he needed to so this wouldn't happen. All morning Tamaki seemed to be in a mood, he wasn't as playful as he usually was but Kyouya had no clue what he could be ticked off with. He was fine last night when they went to bed as far as he could remember he hadn't said anything to set him off before or during breakfast.
"Tamaki, are you alright?"
"Fine, now come on before we're late."
"Okay." Well so much for that, still he wasn't going to give up. He would figure out what was bothering him. Maybe once they got to the doctors he would be in a better mood. If not then he would be forced to play the guessing game, a game he wasn't particularly crazy about.

As they sat in the waiting room Kyouya was surprised to feel his phone going off in his pocket. Who could be calling him?
"Kyouya?" Tamaki noticed Kyouya trying to reach into his pocket while sitting down. It must have been his phone but it seemed odd that someone would contact him right now.
"It's Akito."
Tamaki saw the confusion and something close to worry on Kyouya's face. What could make Akito call?
"Go answer it. If I get called in I'll have her wait until you come in."
Nodding he stood up and walked out to see what was up. It couldn't be bad news, his appointment was last week and they had gone over the results right there in the office.

With Kyouya no longer beside him, Tamaki played with his hands. Since he couldn't hear the conversation he became worried. What if Kyouya had lied about his last visit? No, he wasn't like that. He was fine, everything was fine, but still he couldn't help but worry. Without fully realizing it he burst out into tears and cried in his hands. Kyouya walked back in glad to see Tamaki still sitting there, he hadn't been on the phone too long. As he got closer he became worried, why was he crying?
"Tamaki, hey what's wrong? Why are you crying? Tamaki?"
Tamaki lifted his head from his hands and wiped his eyes. Kyouya was sitting next to him with a worried look on his face. Obviously he was waiting to know what he missed when he stepped out.
"Is everything okay Kyouya?"
"Yes everything is fine. Akito just called to remind me to pick up my medication before my flight tomorrow so I don't have to worry about it in France. I don't have enough to last me the entire trip if I don't pick it up."
"That's all?"
"Yes, that's all."
"You're not hiding anything from me?"
"I'm not hiding anything from you."
"Okay then." Tamaki laced their hands together happy to get that out of the way.
"So why are you crying?"
"I don't know, I've just been in an odd mood today that's all. I guess from having a lot on my mind it just finally got to me."
Kyouya couldn't help himself from smiling as he wiped Tamaki's eyes. Oh how he loved him.

Getting called in shortly after changed both Tamaki's mood and thoughts. He quickly forgot about the phone call and crying for much more exciting things. Tamaki swung his feet back and forth over the edge of the table. It seemed childish but he couldn't help it. Right now he wanted things to really get underway so his legs couldn't do anything but swing while he waited. Kyouya stood patiently near him waiting as well, it seemed to sit when he would have to get up to see the screen shortly anyway. Plus, he wanted to be near Tamaki for this. They both had been waiting for this day for awhile now.
Dr. Oshiro walked in the room soon after the nurse finished up. She didn't want to keep them waiting, as hot as she thought Tamaki and Kyouya were, Kyouya still scared her and pissing him off was the last thing she wanted.
"Do you want to know the gender before I get started?"
"Yes please!"
"Alright then so long as I can get an image I'll let you know."
Tamaki beamed his famous smile at hearing that; he really hoped she could find out because he couldn't wait any longer. Looking over at Kyouya he saw he held the same excitement in his eyes. He loved seeing Kyouya this excited. Or even happy for that matter, he never wanted to see him down, ever. Ever since he had gotten sick Tamaki noticed that he was trying hard to act like his normal self. The mood Kyouya had been in was for his benefit and so he wouldn't worry too much for him and now was his chance to do something for Kyouya. Let him forget about everything else and solely focus on something wonderful. It may be the only thing he could do for him but at least it was something.
"Anything, Dr. Oshiro? Can you tell us if it's a boy or girl?"
"Patience Tamaki, it can take a minute for the image to be clear. Even while I try to get a good image to tell you, you can look at the screen of you want." This was very true and would keep him happy; actually, it kept him very happy for now.

"There we go; see now I told you it just takes a minute." Both Tamaki and Kyouya's eyes were already glued on the screen. Tamaki was jealous again that Kyouya could probably figure out the gender on his own before the doctor told him. How he wanted that ability as well.
"Tamaki are you alright? Please stop moving." Dr. Oshiro started laughing as she saw Tamaki start to squirm. But she had to have him stop so the image would stay clear.
"I'm alright, just thought of something." His eye was still twitching in annoyance, stupid Kyouya.
"If I tell you will you settle down?"
"Dr. Oshiro, please allow me. Tamaki stop being such a spazz so the doctor can do her job. Besides you delaying what I want to know and you know I'm not a total fan of waiting."
"Right, sorry Kyouya." Looking over at Kyouya he smiled before turning his head to the doctor. "I'm alright now, please continue." Dr. Oshiro was trying hard not to laugh as hard as she wanted to even though she was slightly confused by what just happened between the two of them.
"Thank you. Now from what I can tell it looks as if you will be raising a baby girl."
"A girl? Ah! Did you hear that Kyouya we're going to have a little girl."
Tamaki was a whirlwind of emotions as the news settled, all happy, joyous ones but it was still a whirlwind.
"I heard Tamaki, I heard." Somehow Tamaki's emotions were pouring into him and causing him to become chocked up.

The news they received kept them both in great moods as they ran the few errands they had to do before coming home to pack. That night Tamaki laid in bed trying to fall asleep. For some reason he had this nagging feeling that just wouldn't go away and let him sleep. No matter how close he was to Kyouya he couldn't keep his eyes closed. Of course he had to be restless; he only had to be a semi-early flight tomorrow. At least he could sleep on the plane; that was the only positive thing to not being able to sleep now. Looking up at the clock on his nightstand he saw it was reading four in the morning, this was getting ridiculous. Kyouya had fallen asleep soon after then turned the TV off and being the heavy sleeper that he was he hadn't woken up once the whole time he tossed and turned.

Kyouya stood over Tamaki surprised to see Tamaki still sleeping. Even as he tried to get him up all he got was mumbling.
"Tamaki if you don't get up now you won't be able to shower and eat before we have to leave." Watching him mumble while moving the beds comforter over his head was cute and all but really wasn't working for him. It seemed he had to change tactics, to what exactly he wasn't completely sure, Tamaki had never been this hard to wake up before. Trying anything now he shrugged a 'why not' at himself and bent over to whisper in his ear. Seeing his eyes pop open from his seductive tone he chuckled at the reaction he got while he pulled away. Maybe it wasn't he tone but where he placed and moved his hands that got him? Tamaki did say he was super sensitive to his 'touch.' Oh well at least it worked, whichever one it was.
"Ugh, Kyouya, ass, what time is it?" Tamaki rolled over on his back to stare at the ceiling covering his eyes with his arm.
"What was that Tamaki? Do you want my ass or I am an ass? And it's a quarter after nine so get up."
Tamaki, not in mood to deal with Kyouya's humor moved his arm off his eyes in attempt to smack Kyouya as he rolled back over to his side. Not really being close enough or in the mood to add much force, he ended up barely touching his leg with his finger tips.
"You're dead this morning which is very rare for you. Did you not sleep well last night?" Sitting on the bed beside him he waited for an answer.
"I couldn't fall asleep and when I did I ended up having this strange yet horrible dream." Seeing Kyouya's hand resting on the mattress he grabbed it before sitting up. As much as he wanted to go back to bed he knew Kyouya was right and he had to get up.
"I'm sorry you had a rough night. Why didn't you wake me up? I would have tried to help you."
"I know you need your rest so I didn't want to bother you."
"Well next time it happens wake me up alright. But for now, just think, get up now and you can sleep on the plane"
"Oh trust me I plan on it, last night or not."
With that he finally got up to take a quick shower and eat so he wasn't starving at the airport.

Once he got going he was wide awake, thinking about seeing his mother soon was helping with a nice adrenaline boost. About two hours into the flight though he could feel himself slipping. Resting his head on Kyouya's shoulder he closed his eyes and fell asleep much faster than last night. Kyouya just watched him sleep for awhile so he wouldn't disturb him and besides he loved to watch him sleep. Even something as simple as sleeping was enjoyable to watch. It seemed his love for him always increased during simple times such as these. He wouldn't dare say peaked but it certainly increased. Seeing Tamaki was out cold he carefully opened his book he kept out of his carry on and started to read. With Tamaki unable to talk to him and a long flight still in front of him he was please he grabbed a long book from the house.

Tamaki couldn't recall how long he slept total, or how many times he woke up and fell back asleep. He figured he only woke up to eat and use the restroom during the entire length of the flight. Hearing Kyouya talking to him or what he believed was Kyouya talking to him he opened his eyes.
"Sorry to wake you but we'll be landing soon."
"Already?" Stretching the best he could in the seat he opened the blind next to him to see the Eiffel Tower lit up for the night. This as well as seeing all of Paris at night was breath taking, it felt wonderful to be back in France and he hadn't even landed.
"Glad your here?" Kyouya leaned over to look out the window as well. The view was gorgeous.
"I am. I feel…home." While he lived in and loved Japan seeing Paris again just gave him such an incredible feeling. It felt good to finally be back.

This chapter should have been up much sooner but I couldn't get in a good typing mood last night and I watching a donation drive for Japan all weekend so my writing idea went right out the window. Please review, thank you.
