Me: You'll be in it even more in the next one

Mai: Yaaaay!

Me: Oh and, THE BABY'S HERE!!

Chapter 10 - Get Going

Everything was a blur. Literally, everything. An ambulance got to the house in a matter of minutes. Shizuru took Natsuki's hand and they both jumped into the back of the ambulance as soon as Mai was in the back. Both Natsuki and Mai had tears streaming down their faces in happiness, but Shizuru truly felt left out. This was a moment that only those two could have together, that she may never have.

Arriving at the hospital, a man in blue asked who the father was, and Natsuki raised her hand without hesitation. He told her that she could come, and they rushed into the back without another word, leaving Shizuru in the waiting room.

Alone. Her girlfriend, the woman she loved left her alone at a time like this. Shizuru didn't want to blame the bluenette, hell she had even more to go through at this point, but she still felt forgotten. It was like when they first moved in and Mai was Natsuki's entire universe. Would it go back to that? Would Natsuki be so busy with work and the baby that she'd forget about Shizuru completely?

No of course not… she was getting ahead of herself. Natsuki loved her more than Mai and the baby.

...

Right?

In a few minutes, two flushed men ran in with one embarrassed woman. Reito ran to his cousin in a panic and looked around, "Where are those two?!"

"Natsuki said she was the father, so she was allowed back." Shizuru said, brushing by him and taking a seat with the other deathly pale people the in emergency room.

Nao was going to sit down, but was pulled off to the side by Mr. Fujino, "Although I'm allowing Miss Kuga's and my daughter's relationship to progress, I must know the details on yours and Miss Wang's relationship before to continues!"

"I didn't sleep with her!" Nao yelled, marching out the door only to be followed by the older man wagging his finger at her. Reito shook his head at the two, but it was quite the surprise. Going into Nao's room to find her missing than going to the guest room to find them both half naked and about to kiss in bed was not in the plan.

He saw his depressed looking cousin sitting in a chair with her knees up against her chest and frowned. This was affecting her more than it should... He took a seat next to his cousin and smiled at her, "What's wrong?"

"Mai." Shizuru said simply. She pulled her legs closer to herself and glared at the floor. "Once again, just as I think that I have Natsuki all to myself, Mai comes back in with something like this and it'll break me and Natsuki up." she said, resting her forehead on her knees and sighing.

"Do you really think that Natsuki would give everything with you up, just because she has a daughter now?" Reito asked, putting a comforting hand on Shizuru's back and trying to help. Wow, he was not used to this... How do you comfort a chick, but not in a way that gets you into her pants? Ugh... he needs to spend more time with his family.

Shizuru sighed again and grunted, "It might. He said she was the father like it was nothing! What if I get pregnant? Would she still love me? Would she do the same, or would it scare her?!" she yelled, getting the attention of most of the people there.

And the same exact thing was going through their minds. Why the fuck were the heirs of the entire Fujino business sitting there in the emergency room? And near the doors that led to the labor and delivery department? Had Reito gotten some chick pregnant?!

"Excuse me?" A man asked, not too far from Reito and Shizuru. He was wearing blue scrubs, a white over coat and was holding a clipboard fat with paper, signaling he was a doctor.

Both Reito and Shizuru jumped out of their seats and went over to him. "How is she? How's the baby?" Shizuru asked, beating Reito to the punch. Gawd, she wanted to know. Then they could just leave and go back to their normal way of life.

The Doctor held a grim look on his face and held up this sheet. "Would you like the average or the whole news?" he asked, obviously not wanting to say everything.

"Everything." Reito pressed. Finally, he was showing concern as it was etched on his face. He truly wanted to know if Mai and her baby were okay.

The doctor sign and nodded, flipping to a page in his clipboard, "Ah here it is... brace yourself." He warned, making Shizuru gasp in fear. "The baby was premature, you know that. He was twisted in a way that his umbilical was wrapped around his neck, so during the entire birth, he was not getting sufficient oxygen. This caused him to have weak lungs and is now very weak. Also, with him being twisted, we had to perform a C-section, which only caused the mother to bleed excessively and is now on life support while we are doing everything we can for the baby." he said, closing his eyes and bowing his head in pain.

"Oh gawd, no!" Shizuru cried, launching herself into Reito's arms and clutching his shirt as the tears fell freely from her eyes. Poor Mai. Poor Natsuki. Poor Baby. Reito gritted his teeth and looked up at the Doctor, "At least tell us this. Did Mai seem happy?"

"Mai? Who's tha-ooooo." The doctor chuckled. He put on a confused expression before double checking his clip board and looking around in shock, "You're not the two here with Mrs. Takashi?" he asked hesitantly.

Shizuru looked up at his with hope and grinned through her tears, "No. We're here with Mai. She went back with my girlfriend Natsuki!" she nearly yelled at the man in her joy.

The man searched through the papers and grinned when he found the right one, "Mai Tokiha. Got it. Oh, she's fine. Her baby is perfectly healthy, came out smoothly, and she's should be back there and ready for visitors. Room 117, and sorry about the confusion. Now if you excuse me, I have to go delivery some devastating news." he said with a sigh, walking towards a man and woman on the other side of the waiting room.

"117. Shizuru, lets go!" Reito said, grinning. He took Shizuru's hand and pulled her though the doors and down the hall, stopping at the appropriate room. He knocked on the door and heard a familiar 'Come on!' from inside. Shizuru beat him to it and threw open the door to a sight that made her heart leap in joy but also made her want to cry.

Natsuki was standing at the bed side, holding small blue blanket with a bit of black hair peaking out. She was smiling down at the baby, and at Mai, as the new mother held Natsuki's hands to the baby. There was a certain sparkle in Natsuki's eye as she gazed from the Baby to Mai, and Mai held the same look.

She would never be able to give Natsuki that kind of happiness.

"Let me see my niece-in-law!" Reito said happily, walking over to Natsuki with outstretched arms. She blushed at his comment and handed over the boy, her eyes bearing into Shizuru's from across the room.

The younger Fujino took a seat in a chair near the door and patted the one next the her. Natsuki climbed past Reito and plopped down on the seat with a huge smile on her face, "Ara.. my Natsuki looks so happy. She won't be leaving me for Mai-san will she?" Shizuru teased.

Natsuki shook her head and pulled her lover in for a kiss. Breaking away, she rested her forehead on Shizuru's and gazed into those crimson eyes, "I would never leave you. I love you, so much, 'Zuru." she admitted softly.

Feeling her heart hammering away in her chest, Shizuru took Natsuki's face in her hands and kissed her hard, pouring everything into that kiss. Natsuki kissed back just as hard, but broke it off for need of air. They both heard a small squeal and looked to see Reito holding the baby in the air, who was now squealing and laughing in happiness. Natsuki smiled at the sight, "Who'd have though he'd be good with kids..." she muttered.

Shizuru took the bluenette's hand and smiled, "No one. But it's good to know my Natsuki's happy, even if I wasn't the one to make it so."

"Idiot." the woman replied, glaring at Shizuru. Her emerald eyes burned with a fire that hadn't been there in a long time. "You are one of the only things in this world that make me happy. I want to be yours forever."

"Well isn't that sweet. The bum and the superstar; a forbidden live." A snide voice commented.

All heads in the room snapped up to see a man with a small girl standing there. The girl was wearing old and tattered clothes, with a large smudge of what seemed to be oil on her cheek. She had bruises on her arms and neck, and a cut lip. She was glaring at everyone at the room with her eyes darting everywhere rapidly. She had black spiky hair and long sideburns that were braided and bright topaz eyes that shone with innocence and happiness.

The man was wearing a business suit and a very smug grin. He had dirty blonde spiky hair and black sideburns, which made his look dangerous, but distinguished. Tate. He was looking at Natsuki with a disgusted face before turning his attention to his son and the man holding him, "Reito, long time no see." he said with a friendly voice.

"You son of a bitch!" Natsuki screamed, getting up with a fist ready to punch the living day lights out of him.

But the girl in front of him noticed this and jumped in front of Natsuki, spreading her arms out to protect the man behind her, "He told Mikoto to protect him! So Mikoto must protect if she wants to live!" she said proudly, staring up at Natsuki with bright, innocent topaz eyes.

"That's right, protect me." Tate said evilly with a wide smirk and a gleam in his eye. He looked to Natsuki and crossed her arms over his chest in a dominate manner, "I thought you would try that. Picked this little one up downtown, told her I'd buy her food I'd she took a few hits for me. So go ahead, Bitch, come get me. But you'll have to take her out first."

"Hey, what's going on?!" Reito yelled. He carefully put the baby in Mai's arms and marched up to Natsuki side, only to have Mikoto block him off, too. He glared at Tate and sighed, "What are you doing here, Tate? I haven't seen you since college and you show up, threatening my friends? What happened to you?" he asked, very confused.

Tate grinned at him and showed true happiness, "I had a son. And I've come for full custody." He said, looking to Mai and the baby. Mai responded by slinking into the hard hospital bed and clutching the baby to her chest. Tate smirked at her and point to the baby, "He's mine. I'll take it to court if you deny me him, and I will win. I swear it. You can't win a case, you're homeless, Slut." he said, smirk still in place.

"That... has changed. And you can expect the best of Fujino's lawyers to stand behind Mai and her son." Shizuru said, now standing up. Mikoto tried to get in front of her too, but her eyes held confusing as she tried to size up the three fully grown people in front of her. Shizuru smiled at the young girl and put a hand on her head, noting how dirty it was, "Poor thing, is he mean to you?" she asked.

Mikoto looked up at the woman with wide eyes as a blush rose to her cheeks. She nodded slowly and closed her eyes in pleasure as Shizuru continued to pet her. "Mikoto is wondering why you all want that blanket so much..." she muttered under her breath.

Mai smiled at the girl's statement and motioned for Shizuru to bring her over. Everyone watched as Shizuru brought the girl over to Mai's bedside, then returned to her spot next to Natsuki.

Mikoto gazed over the edge of the blanket as Mai showed her the baby inside. Instantly, a great grin rose to her dirty face. The baby opened it's bright golden eyes and gazed back at her, with an equally large smile..

Mai smiled softly at the sight and allowed Mikoto to play with her son, "He likes you a lot, Mikoto" she said, sitting up slowly and holding her baby out. Mikoto took the small thing in her arms, poking the baby's nose. Mikoto laughed as the baby squealed, "He's so cute! I want one, too!" she said happily.

Natsuki smirked at Tate as the man gritted his teeth together, "You lost. Your own son wants a little girl as his father more than you. Now you lying bastard, I'm free to kick you're ass!" she yelled, balling up her fist.

But Reito stopped her and held her back. Instead, he stepped in front of her and glared at his old friend with a terrible look in his eye, "You… you're the father? You're the reason that these girl's have been through so much pain? You're the one that raped Mai?!" he yelled.

Holding an expressionless face, Tate nodded, "Yes, I did all those things. And I won't ever regret hurting these little whores."

A passing nurse heard the exchange in words as took off down the hall, telling her colleagues to call security.

Reito balled his fist at his side and glared at Tate even harder, "You were my best friend for years. You're dead to me." he said. Tate smirked at this and was about to retort, but Reito cut him off, "Now that that's out of the way, I do believe you deserve this!" he yelled, rushing forward and punching Tate square in the nose.

The man fell onto his back with a grunt and laid there, half way into the hallway with a bleeding nose. He sat up, supporting himself with his arm while he covered his bleeding nose with his hand, "You… you'll be hearing from my lawyers! I'm a successful business man!" he yelled.

Natsuki stood in front of him and glared down at the bleeding man with the intent on making his pain worse, "Just to make sure this won't happen again..." she said, her words drifting off, "say 'Byebye, balls'."

Tate's eyes widened as her foot rose in the air, "No no no no-AAAH!" he screamed in pain as Natsuki's heel came in contact with his crotch. He groaned in pain and held his sore spot, rolling over on his side as tears came out.

Natsuki scoffed at his weakness and grinned, "Try getting any girls pregnant now, Bitch!" she yelled.

"There he is!" a nurse said, pointing to the pained man on the floor. Two security officers came running down the hall and grabbed Tate. They forced him out and against the wall. One held him down as the other put handcuffs on him.

"What the fuck are you doing?! Let me go! Arrest those two!" he yelled, glaring at Natsuki and Reito from the corner of his eye.

The nurse came over to Natsuki and bowed lowly, "I'm sorry. But as I was walking by, I heard him confirm that he had raped the patient in his room. Is this true?" the petite nurse asked timidly. Maybe she saw what Natsuki had done to Tate..

Natsuki sighed and nodded, "It's true."

Reito came up beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. He nodded to both woman, then the security guards, "We can all vouch for our friend. He did that horrible thing to her, and he must pay." he said. He then turned his attention to Tate, who was being held by the guards, "Deny it. I dare you. You'll have the full force of our lawyers to deal with. And I don't think you want that."

Tate growled at him. Blood shot eyes, a bloodied face and weak knees, all tied together by the fact that two guards were supporting him in his handcuffs. He was a broken man. The two guards dragged him away and out of sight.

Natsuki returned to the room and sat down next to Shizuru, while Reito left with her nurse to talk with police. Mai relaxed into her bed, knowing it was finally over. He was gone. He was gone and he was in jail and she wouldn't have to deal with his smug face again. Glancing at Mikoto, she saw that the baby was still in the girl's arms.

"It's over..." Natsuki muttered, looking at the ceiling with a small smile. That man that had made her life a living hell for over two years now, was gone. She glanced over at Shizuru with a weak smile and took her love's hand in her own, "'Zuru... I'm tired."

"Ara, my Natsuki should be. She just saved Mai, the baby, and that innocent girl." Shizuru replied, pointing to Mikoto who was quietly chatting with Mai.

Natsuki followed her gaze and smiled, "Don't you think it's that Kai looks just like a random girl off the streets?" she asked, noticing the similar black hair, yellow-ish eyes and great grins.

"Kai?" Shizuru asked. The baby? They named him Kai? Well... it was original to say the least. Shizuru grinned at Natsuki and chuckled, "Ara, why would you think to name him that?"

Rolling her eyes, Natsuki stared at her girlfriend long and hard, "Well, Me and Mai have been talking about it for a while. We decided that it should be something that reflected the both of us. Kai, because of K from Kuga and the AI from Mai. His full name is Kai Takumi Tokiha." she explained.

Shizuru had to hold in a sigh of relief. His last name wasn't Kuga. This meant that he legally wasn't Natsuki's son. Shizuru smiled at Natsuki and kissed her slowly, leaning over the arm rest of the chair to get closer. Sighing happily, Natsuki responded and slipped her tongue into the kiss, caressing Shizuru's own with hers and making the Kyoto woman moan.

Across the room, Mikoto stopped at the sound of the moan and looked up. She cocked her head to the side, "Mai, who are they?" she asked innocently enough.

Mai smiled at her curiosity and pointed to Natsuki, "The one with blue hair right there is Natsuki Kuga. She's been my best friend for years and has always taken care of me. The woman she's kissing is Shizuru Fujino. She's the sweetest person in the world and we both work for her. She took us into her home and took care of us in ways we never thought possible."

"And who was that man in here earlier?"

"That was Reito Fujino. He was a bit of a douche wipe when we first met him, but he's changed. He's a lot nicer and is much more willing to help us."

"Then who's the red head?"

"Wait.. what?"

"Oh, ewwww gross! Mutt slobber in Fujino's mouth!" Nao yelled, making a disgusted voice. Mr. Fujino was covering his eyes with his hands, seeing as how he refused to watch him employee and his daughter make out.

Shizuru pulled away from Natsuki and blushed a bit. She got up from her place – straddling Natsuki – and bowed to her father, "I'm... going to go find Reito." She said quickly, wanting to get out of the room as fast as possible.

Natsuki, who was as red as a rose, coughed nervously and got up, "So, who wants to see the baby!?" she asked, moving over to stand on the other side of Mai on the bed. Grinning, Nao ran over to the small girl still holding Kai. But Mr. Fujino shook his head, "I'm going to go find my kids." he said, waving to Mai and walking out the door.

Taking the small baby from Mikoto's arms, Nao cradled him carefully and laughed when he blew a spit bubble. "Oh my gawd, he's so cute! What's his name?" she asked, taking time to poke his nose and make him laugh loudly.

"Kai." Natsuki said, taking Mai's hand in hers and smiling at her friend, "Kai Takumi Tokiha."

Nao nodded at them, and then focused her attention on the slightly shorter girl next to her, "And who are you? You're too big to be a baby.."

Mikoto grinned at Nao and nodded at her, "I'm Mikoto! This really mean guy, Tatu, he said he'd buy me a lot of food if I helped him. And Mikoto loves food, so I did! But he was a meany, and the really pretty girl with red eyes was nice. Than I saw the baby and now I want one, too!" she said happily.

Nodding slowly, Nao made a face at Mai, who shrugged back. She rolled her eyes at her friend and looked down at the baby. Bright gold eyes.. black spiky hair... huge smile... oh my gawd it was the kid!

--

Natsuki fell back onto the blood red bed and laid back, enjoying the softness and fluffiness of it all. They had returned home and were all relaxing. Nao disappeared off somewhere in Nina's room. Mr. Fujino, as gracious as ever, let Mikoto stay with them. It was turning into a homeless shelter without the soup kitchen.

Bad pun, because they all soup when they got home.

Mikoto made it her personal job to watch over the baby whenever Mai wasn't looking, and never left Kai's side. She was attached to Mai's hip, who never pushed her away. Turns out, she had been out on the streets for only a year after her parents were killed in a drive by shooting. Her, being shorter, wasn't hit. Oh, and she ate a hell of a lot of food.

Reito went to his room to ice his knuckles, and Mr. Fujino went to his study to gather as much information as he could on the new comer.

Sighing, Natsuki sat up and was greeted with the sight of Shizuru coming in the room with two steaming cups of tea, "I swear, you're addicted to the stuff." she whispered, leaning up and kissing her loved one on the cheek.

Shizuru smirked and sat down on the bed next to her, handing her a cup, "I know love, I know. As are you with mayo." she said, moving the pillows on the bed. She set them up so that they were flat against the head board and sat back against them. Natsuki followed suit and joined their hands with a grin. "I'm glad Mai had the baby."

"Yea me too..." Natsuki muttered under her breath, a dreamy look coming up onto her face, "Little Kai sure is cute. He'll be a looker when he grows up, every though Mai wanted a daughter, he's better. But he looks just like Mikoto!" she said, rolling her eyes.

Shizuru smiled at Natsuki and stole a quick kiss, "Ara.. My father was nice enough to let her stay here, so you should be nice too." She said, already done her tea. She placed it on the side table and cuddled into her lovers side. Natsuki welcomed the embrace and wrapped an arm around her. "Nat-suki-ki-chan?"

"Yea, 'Zuru?"

"Remember what my father said about us having to get married?"

"...Yea, why?"

"Nothing..."

Natsuki glanced down at Shizuru with her eye brows up only to see Shizuru half asleep, a goofy grin on her face and her eyes closed. Gawd, she loved this woman so much...

Me: o.o I'm getting cheezy..

Natsuki: Which is weird cause you're listening to techno

Me: o.o HADOUKEN!!!

Haruka: After that, Natsuki's jealousy will be tested!!

Natsuki: o.o WHAT?!
