Ok, I'm ending this story here soon (Next chapter or the one after).

Shuichi stared blankly at the wall across from the bed. The soothing tan color of the walls, he remembered, Eiri had chose so they would have something to get lost in after sex.

But at that moment, sex was the farthest thing from his mind. All he saw on the solid tan wall was his kids.

He knew Aiylia and Aiydan knew what was going on. Eiri wouldn't keep a secret like that from them.

Shuichi wanted nothing more, then to run to his kids with open arms and hold them close; protect them. How ever, for some reason, he couldn't get his body to listen.

In the last year his body had decided not to respond. After all, Shuichi had got into a car crash, been raped twice, dealt with his husband's rare abusiveness, and almost died. He couldn't remember who it was now, but a voice had told him to be strong… that he had to live on for his kids.

That brought a funny thought to Shuichi. The thought of Eiri raising their two kids… all the things that would entail later down the road. Well, not too far from now. The twins after all were eleven.

"Shuichi," Eiri yelled as the door flew open. Behind him he drug Ayana by the wrist as she tried to get away. Shuichi's eyes rolled to look at his husband as he pushed their lawyer onto the bed next to him.

"Either you start moving your lazy ass, or I'm going to fuck her in front of you." Ayana blinked a few times. True, she did want to have fun with Eiri again, but this isn't what she planned.

The amethyst eyes went from one person to another, but Shuichi didn't move. Ayana gulped hard as Eiri got closer to her. "Wait, I never agreed to this…" ignoring her, Eiri began kissing her neck. "At least find a condom first," she wined.

"We stopped buying those years ago," Eiri whispered before nipping on her ear.

"I don't want to get pregnant here, you ass hole!" Shuichi felt tears fall from his eyes.

"Oh shut up; I know you want this…" he paused as he felt a hand grip his wrist. Looking down he noticed it was Shuichi's. A smile graced Eiri's face as he got off the girl and crawled onto the boy. "So you want me too?" Eiri whispered. No reply escaped Shuichi.

Ayana took her chances and ran out of the room. "Mine," Shuichi whispered as he gripped the arm tighter.

"You say that, but you don't prove it in any way."

"Please don't…" Eiri noticed Shuichi's lips didn't move as he spoke.

With a sigh Eiri pried his lovers hand off. "I won't, don't worry."

Maiko tried to concentrate on the board but she just wasn't there. Her thoughts were else where, trying to figure out what was with her family. She knew her parents were told what was going on with her brother, but no one bothered to tell her. And worse, someone had managed to keep it all out of the news.

"Can I help you?" the teacher said to Ayana as she looked over the classroom.

"I need to talk to Maiko Shindou. It will be quick," she said with a smile. The teacher was about to protest when Maiko ran to the door. "Come on, kid," she said with a smile as they stepped into the hall.

Maiko shut the door behind her and they walked quietly.

"Maiko," Eiri said as he stood straight from leaning on the wall.

"Yuki-san; how's my Brother?" she asked almost frantic.

"Out of it… that's why I want your help." She looked confused for a second.

"We know your parents have forbid you from have any communication with Eiri or Shuichi, but in all honesty, you're the only one who can do this for them.

"If you agree, I will pay for everything. Even if your parents kick you out, I will pay for an apartment close to Shuichi for you." Maiko nodded, waiting to see what the deal was. At that moment she would do anything for her brother.

"Maiko Shindou," Eiri said as he walked up to the girl. "I want you to …" Her eyes went wide as she heard the end of the sentence.

That was totally on purpose .
