CHAPTER ELEVEN
Home
Rei shifted as the sun spilled over his face, turning and nuzzling into the chest against him. He suddenly opened his eyes, surprise and shock making him jump as he looked up to see Kai's crimson eyes staring down at him.
"It was real?" He asked and Kai nodded, chuckling.
"Very." He answered and leaned down to kiss Rei's lips gently.
Rei was still shocked, but kissed him back. Kai trailed a hand down his back then around his hip, resting his fingers on Rei's baby belly and rubbing gently. Rei sighed happily as they broke the kiss, smiling.
"It's been a long time since I woke up beside you." He murmured and Kai nodded, wrapping his arms fully around him and pulling him close.
"Don't ever doubt how much I missed you Rei." Kai whispered and Rei sighed. "I wish I would have known about the baby." He added and Rei could hear the regret in his voice.
"The first few months weren't too exciting." He mumbled into his neck and Kai rubbed his back slowly.
"Would have been nice to be here for them though." He murmured and Rei sighed.
"Four more to go." He said and Kai chuckled.
"Yes." He said and Rei sat up slowly.
"I have a sort of surprise." He said and Kai raised his eyebrows. "Well two really." Rei said, reaching around the bed to grab the photo album.
Kai sat up, pulling Rei into his lap and against his chest as Rei touched the cover fondly before flipping it open. And he showed Kai all those moments that were captured, all the little things about them that meant so much. They spent an hour just looking at pictures and talking about memories, Kai's chin on Rei's shoulder though he pressed a kiss to his neck every once in awhile. They both seemed happy to have each other close again.
"And do you remember this one Tala took?" Rei asked Kai, pointing at the photo of them. Kai chuckled.
"Yes, I do." He murmured and Rei smiled gently to feel those warm lips against his neck. "I remember it all Rei, it's all very important." He whispered.
Rei leaned back more into him and flipped the page. Kai's breath caught a bit when he saw the ultrasound pictures, and Rei was happy at the reaction.
"That's our..." Kai whispered and Rei laughed softly.
"Yes, that's our baby Kai." He said and Kai looked at each picture fondly. It seemed that he was actually grateful for the photo album. "Now, I want to show you something else." Rei said and slipped from his arms, standing up and walking to the door.
Kai was right behind him and Rei lead him to the next room over, opening the door and turning on the lights. Kai looked around in wonder, looking at the baby's nursery. He wrapped his arms around Rei, resting his hands on his baby belly.
"It's amazing Rei." He whispered and Rei hummed in agreement.
"I think our baby will like it." He murmured. Kai chuckled and Rei turned, looking up at Kai.
"You are happy...about the baby right?" He whispered and Kai stared at him, deep into his golden eyes.
"Rei I've never been more happy. I get to hold you again, I get to kiss you again, and I get the best surprise in the world." He said and kissed Rei's lips gently. "Kitten I'm thrilled."
"I'm glad." Rei whispered and then a door down the hall opened.
Tala's hair was very bed-head messy and he smirked as he pulled on his shirt. Wearing a pair of white tight jeans paired with a red long sweater, he tousled his hair as Bryan walked out. Equally as messy as he wrapped an arm around Tala's waist. The redhead chuckled and looked at the other two.
"Now, we all need to talk and get everything clear." Tala said and Rei nodded in agreement.
"Let's have brunch downstairs then." Kai suggested and lead them all downstairs to the dining table where he was told the cook was preparing a large breakfast.
Soon food was out on the table and they all ate, not talking too much as they all sated their hunger then moved onto the living room. Tala sat on one of the couches and Bryan sat beside him, an arm stretching around his shoulders as Rei sat on the other couch with Kai joining him also. He rested a hand on Rei's baby belly, and Rei intertwined their fingers. Kai took a deep breath before looking around.
"I didn't want to leave you all confused. If I would have had it all my way I would have stayed home and dealt with it here. But I'm afraid this was much too serious to be handled here, plus it would put all of you in danger. And that's the last thing I want." Kai started off as Jeffery walked in with the briefcase Rei recognized him having carried on the news.
Kai opened it and many papers were inside, but first he pulled out a paper that announced a court date.
"I planned it for three weeks, and I had no idea how long I would be away. I never thought it would be five months, but it turns out Voltaire was more prepared than I had anticipated." He explained, setting down the paper and taking Rei's hand again. "I knew he was being released from jail, and I knew money had a big thing to do with that, but I also understood that despite me being nineteen he would quickly come here. And I never wanted any of you to be at risk. The moment I knew that date was getting closer I phoned my lawyer, and soon we were in court."
Rei squeezed Kai's fingers and felt comforted by the squeeze he got in return. Jeffery stood off to the side, listening and paying attention. Kai grabbed a thick document, at least a hundred pages, and set it on the table. Tala and Bryan were both serious and listened intently. Kai sighed and leaned back a little bit.
"We had this typed up by the time I arrived, and by the time we got to court Voltaire was livid. That was what made me glad I had kept all of this away from all of you." Kai admitted and looked at Rei, his eyes casting down to the baby belly before back up. "His lawyer fought and my lawyer countered it all, before the judge decided a jury was needed. Of course, we waited a month for all of this. I hated it, I wanted to come back here or at least phone but I knew how much of a risk that would be. And the moment I phoned I knew that you would all just worry and ask questions. I didn't want that, but I did phone Jeffery who came out with me during the trials. I was getting desperate to come home, but Voltaire was fighting everything, until my lawyer presented much more of my grandfather's past then he had expected. To sum that up, he signed the agreement and if he ever breaks it he can legally be sent to jail for life under my demand." And there, all secrets were out and things were starting to make sense again.
"What's the agreement?" Tala asked and Kai picked up the thick stack of papers.
"In short my grandfather is not allowed anywhere close to us, hell he pretty much has to be at least three cities away minimum , currently he's on a whole other continent though. He isn't to have any contact nor be near any of us, all of our names specified as well as any further down generations. Like our child." Kai said, looking at Rei who looked relieved.
"It took five months for Voltaire to finally sign to that?" Tala said, angry in his voice and Kai nodded. "What a bastard." He muttered and Bryan nodded in agreement.
"It's all done now though." Kai murmured and Rei smiled, leaning upwards to kiss him gently. Kai touched his cheek gently, smiling against his lips before Rei pulled back. He was quiet for a moment before Jeffery said something quietly in Russian. Kai smirked. "Ah right, there is one more surprise. This one for you Rei." Kai said and Rei was confused as he turned and grabbed something.
He pulled Rei to his feet... then slowly sank down onto one knee. Golden eyes widened impossibly as Kai took Rei's hands gently in his own.
"Rei I know that these past five months have been very hard for you. And I wish that things had been different, but when I looked at the situation now I know it was worth it." Kai said, his voice warm and crimson eyes serious. "I have loved you since we were young, I was only sixteen when I knew that I cared for you. You've opened up a whole entire new world for me Rei, one where you've shown me how to truly care for someone. I've never been more happy than I have been living my life with you and I know we've been apart for a long time but I want you to understand that my feelings for you have been the only thing that got me through this." Rei's heart was pounding in his chest as Kai released his right hand and pulled out a tiny velvet box, opening it to show him a ring.
It was a golden band with a diamond on it, tiny rubies encrusted around it. Very expensive, very meaningful, very Kai. It was perfect. Tears came to Rei's eyes as he looked at the ring that Kai was offering to him, and he bit his lower lip. Kai gave him a smile, one that told him to relax and that everything would be fine.
"Rei Kon, will you marry me?"
I couldn't resist xD Hopefully this chapter cleared up most of the questions about why Kai had left, and then brought a bit of a smile to your face. I just find the idea of these two beginning a real life together adorable. Hopefully you all enjoyed the chapter! Review to tell me what you think :)
