To say Izaya was relieved now that he had gotten into the second trimester was an understatement. He was 14 weeks pregnant now and summer vacation had just started, which meant that Hikari didn't need to go to school.

He felt more secure now that he had gotten into the second trimester, but there was still some uncertainty inside him. He still had a long time to go after all and he knew there were a lot of things that could still go wrong.

He had been talking with Shizuo about going somewhere during the summer vacation and they had decided to let Hikari choose. Now the only thing they still had to do was to ask her and hopefully it wouldn't be too complicated what she wanted to do.

Shutting his computer down he went to where Hikari was sitting with Shizuo at the couch. The two of them were watching a show on the tv. Izaya hadn't been following what, so he didn't really know what it was about.

"What are you two watching?" He asked while he said down carefully beside Shizuo. He didn't really want to know, but he needed something to start the conversation.

"Just some show." Shizuo's answer came, which made Izaya sigh. He had hoped to grab Hikari's attention, but it seemed like he failed.

"Hikari?" With this the girl did turn to look at him from her show, but it was clear that she wanted to keep watching it. "How would you feel about going on a vacation next week?" Suddenly he got the full attention of the girl and he saw a bright smile appearing on her face.

"That would be great!" She exclaimed and Izaya couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face too. "Where are we going?"

Izaya let his gaze travel to the blonde when he looked questioningly at him and Izaya nodded to the blonde, indicating that he could tell her.

"Your mother and I want you to decide where we're going." Shizuo answered the girl and the both watched as she got a thoughtful look on her face.

After a bit of silence her face lit up again and a small nod came. "I wanna go to the beach!" She exclaimed. Izaya didn't know how to answer to that for the moment. Somewhere he had hoped that she wouldn't choose that.

There was no way he would have chosen that himself, since he was pregnant at the moment and this meant that he wouldn't be able to swim. If he had been a full woman it wouldn't have been a problem, but this would definitely pose to be a problem.

"That's a great idea!" Izaya got taken out of his thoughts by Shizuo's enthusiastic voice. "I can teach you how to swim then."

"Mama? Do you not want to go to the beach?" Izaya looked at Hikari's questioning look and he forced a small smile on his face.

"Ah, no of course not. I would love to go to the beach. I just won't be swimming, alright?" There was no way he could wear a swimsuit and swimming shorts were also not going to work, since he already had a noticeable bump.

"Why not? We could swim together then!" How could his daughter be so happy? He tried to keep his own smile up, but it was getting harder with the minute.

"I'm not going to wear a swimsuit, so I can't swim. I'm fine with wearing a dress for this one time though." What was he even saying? "But I don't have any dresses, so I need to get some and we also need to buy swimwear for you."

"Let's go shopping tomorrow then." Shizuo said. Izaya could tell that the blonde was trying to see how he really felt, but Izaya just kept smiling and nodded.

"That's a good idea. Let's do that tomorrow then." He just hoped that Shizuo wouldn't try to make him buy a swimsuit or something like that. He just wanted some dresses.

The next day Izaya found himself in a shop with all kinds of clothes. It had a women's section, a men's section and also one for children. It had all kinds of swimming wear, but also dresses and other clothes.

Taking a deep breath, he decided that it was a good idea to first look for Hikari, since it might get harder to find him a good dress. He was planning to keep it simple, but the problem was more that he had to find the right one to fit him.

"Hikari, let's go look for a swimsuit for you first." He said, but he saw his daughter already running to that section.

"Seems like she was already planning to." Shizuo said with a smile and then the two of them followed their daughter to the children's section.

"Are you getting new swimming shorts for yourself?" Izaya decided to ask the blonde.

"Yeah, I kind of need new ones. No idea where my old ones went." The blonde admitted while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Then we need to find something that suits you." Izaya said with a smile, while he started looking between the children's swimsuits.

He didn't really know what Hikari would want for a swimsuit, but he decided that he may as well look for something. The color could be anything, since Hikari did wear almost every color.

Red would be a nice color, but pink might work too. Izaya grabbed a few swimsuits from those colors and went over to his daughter to see that she had also gathered some and had given them to Shizuo to carry.

"Hikari, I found some too, is there one you like?" He asked. The price was not the problem, so she would just be able to choose the one she wants.

"I have a few here, but I want to see how they look first." She said while pointing to the three pieces Shizuo was carrying and then came over to him to look at what Izaya had gotten.

Izaya watched as Hikari looked through them and picked one of the red ones before giving it to Shizuo too.

"Are you ready to try them on?" Izaya asked and when a nod came he smiled. "Do you want me to go with you?" Another nod confirmed it and that's when he grabbed the pieces from Shizuo before going into one of the stalls to help Hikari change.

They tried on all four pieces, but in the end she chose the red piece Izaya had shown her. Izaya couldn't help but be happy that she had chosen that one.

"So, you want this one?" Izaya asked, just to be sure.

"Yes!" Was the enthusiastic answer. "Now it's your turn mama!" She said while walking out to where Shizuo was, already holding a swimming shorts.

"I see you already chose one?" Izaya asked. Shizuo only grunted as an answer. "Seems like I'm the only one left." He said with a sigh, before he headed over to the women's section.

There were a lot of dresses and he knew it wouldn't be easy to find the right dress. He wanted a simple dress that was light, since they were going to the beach after all, but something that would at least cover the fact that he was intersex.

That was also an important reason why he wasn't buying a swimsuit, since that wouldn't be able to cover the fact that he had something down there that a woman shouldn't have.

"What kind of dress are you looking for mama?" Izaya looked down to see that Hikari was standing beside him now, looking at all the dresses.

"Just a simple and light one." He answered while he kept walking around between all the dresses. He had really no idea where he should start with all this.

"Why don't you ask someone for help?" Shizuo offered, but this received him a glare from the raven.

"They will want to help me into the dressing room before you know it and then they will help me put it on. There is no way I will allow that." He growled. Even though he was stubborn, he knew somewhere that he would really need help with this, but there was just no way he was going to allow these people to see him without clothes on.

"Hello, can I ask you something?" He suddenly heard Shizuo say. Izaya turned around and saw the blonde talking to a female clerk. "We're looking for a simple and light dress to go to the beach with for my partner." Izaya's eyes widened and he wanted to stop the blonde, but the woman was already coming his way.

"I'm assuming it's for you miss?" She asked and all Izaya could do was nod. The woman's eyes were clearly scanning him and he kept as still as possible. Soon the eyes rested on his stomach and a smile appeared on the woman's face. "How far along are you?" She asked gently.

Izaya was still staring at the woman when she had asked the question. "Ah, I'm 14 weeks at the moment." Shizuo and him had decided to tell people after all once he was in the second trimester.

"Let's find you a dress then." The woman said with a smile and grabbed Izaya's arm before taking him around through the dresses. The woman was quite enthusiastic with her job and showed him all kinds of dresses.

In the end he ended up carrying all kinds of dresses and now he was shoved into a dressing room. This was really fast paced for him, but he guessed that her choice hadn't been so bad. He had liked quite a bit of them when he saw them. Now it was just a question if they would look good on him too.

He was glad that the woman had left him alone in the dressing room, so he slowly took off his clothes and looked at his reflection in the mirror for a moment. The bump was really visible if he wasn't wearing any clothes, even though it was also visible while he was wearing clothes now.

He rubbed his stomach for a moment before finally grabbing the first dress and slipping it on. He had been worried that the dresses wouldn't fit, since he didn't have any breasts, but it seemed like the woman had taken that into account.

The dress had a strap on both shoulders and reached till just beneath his knees. He watched himself in the mirror and he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable. He really wasn't used to wearing this, he couldn't even remember if he had ever worn a dress before.

He heard the curtain move a bit and he turned around a bit panicked, but when he saw Shizuo's face he relaxed. "Don't just come in like that, you scared me." Izaya said.

"You was taking your time, so I was wondering if you had put one on or not." Shizuo said, but let his eyes go over Izaya's form. "That dress looks good on you." He complimented with a small smile.

"Are you sure? It feels a bit weird, since I'm not used to this." He said and turned around for a bit before turning back to the mirror. "I guess it looks fine."

After that he tried on the other dresses and in the end he bought a few of them. He would need more than one after all. He hoped that the vacation would go fine and that nothing would go wrong at the beach.
