The nurse opened the door, "Please refrain from waking him," she said softly before leaving Kazuha and Sonoko alone.
Kazuha set Sonoko down on the floor, "Nii-san sleeping?" Sonoko whispered looking up at Kazuha, "But it's not bedtime."
Kazuha took Sonoko's hand and closed the door softly before walking over, "Your brother got hurt really badly," Kazuha whispered, "Sleep helps him feel better."
"But Nii-san never sleeps unless it's bedtime," Sonoko said.
Kazuha glared at the sleeping Heiji, "Well now he doesn't have a choice," she stated looking at Sonoko without a glare.
Kazuha lifted Sonoko, "You see all the bandages on him?" she asked her.
Sonoko nodded, "They are helping keep the wounds covered so bad things don't hurt him more than he already is," Kazuha explained.
"But there's so many," Sonoko whispered.
Kazuha nodded, "Oh…" Sonoko said looking sad.
"It's not your fault, Sonoko-chan," Kazuha said, "Your brother was just thinking of you before himself."
Sonoko laid her head on Kazuha's shoulder, "Hime-sama," Kazuha hummed, "Can you make him better with your magic?"
Kazuha tried to think of an explanation that wouldn't crush her spirit, "My magic can only protect," she said, "It can't heal, Sonoko-chan."
Sonoko whined, "But he's going to be fine," Kazuha said, "So long as he does everything the doctor tells him to do."
"But Nii-san doesn't like doing what people tell him to do," Sonoko stated.
Kazuha tapped her nose lightly, "Which is what we're here for," she smirked.
"Oh…" Sonoko said then giggled.
Kazuha turned when she heard a groan. Heiji stirred slightly and opened his eyes, "Don't move, baka," Heiji narrowed his eyes as Kazuha came into his line of vision with Sonoko in her arms, "You are on bed rest for at least two months."
"Toy…ama?" Heiji said hoarsely.
Sonoko grinned, "Ohayo, Nii-san!" she said, "I found Kazuha-hime-sama!"
Heiji blinked before groaning, "What the heck happened?" he asked, "Did the Tokyo Tower collapse on me?"
"Don't move," Kazuha hissed, "You just got out of emergency surgery."
"Huh?" Heiji asked.
"You have several bullet punctured organs fixed, a healing concussion, and apparently," Kazuha looked at the casts on his body, "Several broken bones; maybe ribs as well."
Heiji blinked, "No wonder I hurt everywhere," he groaned.
Kazuha set Sonoko down, "Sonoko-chan," she said, "Why don't you go tell the nice nurse that brought us here that he's up."
"Okay!" Sonoko said happily and left.
Kazuha turned to Heiji and crossed her arms, "You…have a lot of explaining to do," she hissed.
"What?" Heiji asked; half snapping.
"Why didn't you tell me your father went abusive after your mom died?!" Kazuha yelled, "Or that you were raising two kids!"
Heiji blinked, as if shocked she knew all that, but then remembered what had happened and glared at her, "What did you want me to do?" he snapped, "Throw you in the crossfire?" Heiji blinked when he heard a sniffle, "Toyama?"
"Why did you push me away, but not Kudou, Hakuba, Tsuburaya, Yoshida, and Kojima?" Kazuha asked while looking at the ground, "Why tell them and not me? Did you not trust me enough?"
"Toyama…" Heiji whispered and looked away, "We were ten," he stated, "I had to learn through trial and error with Sonoko. What good would it have done if you'd known?"
"You still could've come to me and Otou-san!" Kazuha yelled looking at him with tear-filled eyes, "You didn't have to do it all by yourself! He could've been put away a long time ago! He could've-"
"He threatened you, okay!" Heiji yelled.
Kazuha went wide eyed, "Wh-what?" Kazuha asked.
Heiji sighed, "He…threatened you…" he said more softly, "He threatened to hurt you when all this started, so I tried to keep you away thinking he wouldn't have anything to throw at me, but then, as I got older…he realized what I was doing and…threatened to fire your dad," Kazuha went wide eyed, "The only thing that came to my mind when he said that was…well…" Heiji looked down at his bandages, "So, in a way, he was still threatening you."
"He couldn't fire me unless he had a valid reason," Heiji and Kazuha turned in shock and saw Kazuha's father walking in holding Sonoko's hand.
"I found Hime-sama's papa!" Sonoko smiled and held up a lollipop, "And he has candy!"
"Okay one:" Heiji said, "What have I said about taking candy from strangers, Sonoko?" Sonoko frowned and looked at Kazuha's father, "And two: what doing here, Toyama-keiji?"
"Did you really think the chief of the police department getting arrested for child abuse and attempted murder only an hour ago wouldn't have everyone in the police station gossiping?" Ginshiro asked raising an eyebrow.
"Err…attempted murder?" Heiji asked.
"You honestly have no idea how long you were in surgery, do you?" Ginshiro asked.
Heiji shook his head, but then winced, "I thought I said not to move!" Kazuha yelled.
Heiji grumbled, "Heiji-kun," Heiji looked at Ginshiro, "While I do admire you doing all this to protect my daughter," Heiji blushed lightly, "You still should've come to me or Miyano-keibu about this."
"It's not like adults didn't know," Heiji muttered, "Sonoko's principal figured it out and Satou-san across the street pretty much figured it out because I was the only one bringing and picking them up and only giving her my number to call."
"But they had no solid proof, correct," Heiji looked away, "Because you took almost everything he threw, ne?"
Heiji didn't say anything. Ginshiro walked up to Heiji, "Heiji-kun," Heiji glanced at Ginshiro, "When you're able to leave the hospital, you will be staying with us."
"What?" Heiji asked shocked.
"I've already gotten permission from Social Services," Ginshiro stated, "You won't even be able to leave until your organs heal up properly. Someone's going to have to watch Sonoko-chan and Akako-chan," Heiji opened his mouth, "And no they can't stay here in the hospital with you," Heiji closed his mouth with a huff.
"So, we have an understanding?" Ginshiro asked.
Heiji sighed, "Yes…" he said.
"Good," Ginshiro said, "Now Sonoko-chan?" Sonoko hummed and looked up at Ginshiro with the lollipop in her mouth, "Why don't we go get some lunch?"
Heiji sighed again, "Oh and kids," Heiji and Kazuha turned, "Would someone like to explain why Kazuha suddenly has a twin waiting in the waiting room?" they sweat dropped.
"You…want me to do what?!" the detective Heiji yelled at Shinichi.
Shinichi sighed, "It's not that hard," he stated, "I taught my Heiji in a month."
"Yeah," Heiji said, "But you want me to learn to play the bass and play in your concert tomorrow!"
"He's got a point, Kudou," Kaito stated leaning against the wall, "No one can learn to play an instrument that fast. Not even Tantei-han."
Shinichi groaned, "Well, we can't just suddenly cancel it," he said, "Plus if word gets around about this, which it will, then this hospital is going to be flooded with fans. Do you really think the doctors, nurses, let alone Heiji need that right now?"
Heiji was silent, "Plus…there's a song I want to do," Shinichi stated then looked at Heiji, "How's your singing?"
Heiji about toppled over, "You are not getting me to sing, Kudou!" he yelled.
Ran stood up while Heiji and Shinichi fought, "Conan-kun," Conan looked at Ran, "Can you hold Akako-chan for a second? I need to use the restroom."
Conan just nodded. Ran smiled and gently set Akako in the little boy's arms, "Hold her head," Ran whispered because said baby was sleeping, "I'll be right back," Ran practically ran out of the waiting room.
Conan looked at Akako sleeping in his arms, "She's so tiny," Conan looked up at Dai.
"She's a baby," Conan stated matter-of-factually.
"Yeah," Dai said sitting beside him, "But this just shows how defenseless they are."
Conan hummed, "That's what parents are for," he stated, "Or in this case, Hattori."
Dai nodded. Ran came back in, "Thanks Conan-kun," Ran whispered taking Akako again.
"I'm not doing it!" Heiji yelled, "I ain't and you ain't gonna make me!"
"How the heck did I wind up doing this?!" Heiji yelled a few minutes later while holding his parallel-self's bass.
"Your arguing woke Akako-chan and Toyama-chan, Mouri-chan, and Nakamori-chan all hit you and you gave in," Mitsuhiko stated.
Heiji rubbed his head, "Right…" he said, "What the heck was I doing again!?"
Shinichi face palmed, "Okay…instead of trying to teach you bass," he stated, "We're just going to teach you the parts for the songs."
"That's not what we were doing?" Heiji asked deadpanned.
"Ugh," Shinichi said and put his guitar on, "You're hopeless."
"Hey!"
"Now, now," Saguru said getting between the two, "We all have our strong points."
"His just happens to only be involved with dead people," Shinichi stated.
"You trying to tick me off?" Heiji growled.
"No," Shinichi stated, "You just lose your temper to quick."
"I do not!"
Conan and Dai face palmed, "This is going to go splendidly," Kaito said deadpanned.
Conan sighed, "They better hope we don't go home before the concert," he stated.
"Yeah, it shouldn't take the little scientist this long to figure out the machine," Kaito said, "And she could just use Agasa as a cover."
"Maybe we're under thinking this…" Conan said, "Maybe the Professor in charge didn't leave any notes on the return trip and just had it in his head to do."
"So they'd have to start from scratch," Dai whispered.
Conan and Kaito nodded, "Well, whatever the reason," Kaito said, "Hopefully we'll get back before both Universes fall to pieces."
"You're very positive, Kuroba…" Conan said deadpanned.
"How the heck do I do that!?" Heiji yelling causing the three to turn to him again.
"Your parallel-self is a horrible teacher, Tantei-kun," Kaito stated.
"Shut up," Conan muttered.
