A/N: Chapter 20! The next one is probably going to be the last one. Please enjoy reading this chapter.
Summary: Izaya has been hiding the fact that he is intersex for the people around him. One of the people he doesn't want to find out is Heiwajima Shizuo. So what happens when both get drunk at a party and end up at Izaya's apartment together?
Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!
Great, first he was bored and now irritated. Who had decided that it was fine for Shinra and Celty to stay at his apartment? He still had ten days to go till his scheduled cesarean, so he didn't understand why the doctor would already be here.
"Shinra, why do you want to stay here?" Izaya growled at the doctor. He was fine, so he didn't need any help, even though Shizuo was at work most of the day and he didn't really have anyone to help him in his apartment, but there was no way he was going to admit to the doctor that he would need help with anything.
"Izaya, you're nearing your due date, so I just want to make sure that there is someone who can take you to the hospital, which we already decided would be Celty with her bike turned into a car, so that's why we're here." The doctor explained, but Izaya glared at him.
"That doesn't mean you need to be here too, I can tolerate Celty, but you are another story." How was he going to survive ten days with living with the doctor. There was just no way that was going to happen.
"I can't leave Celty on her own." Was Shinra's reply, to which Izaya growled frustratedly.
"Don't think I'm going to live with you for ten days!" Izaya yelled. "It's only the 14th of september do you really think I will be able to live with you till the 24th?"
"You won't need to live with me for that long if the baby decides to come earlier." Shinra said with a smile, which made Izaya sigh.
"As if I want that." Izaya sighed and started rubbing his temples. "This is really giving me a headache. Fine, you can stay, but please don't make a fuss at everything I do, alright?"
"I can't promise that, but I will try." The smile on Shinra's face told Izaya that the doctor would definitely look at what he is doing.
"Celty can take the guest room, Shinra you're taking the couch." Izaya said and then turned around towards the stairs. "I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when Shizuo is home if I haven't woken up by then." With those words Izaya headed up the stairs and towards his bedroom for a nap.

Izaya felt a light shake waking him up to which he slowly opened his eyes to look up to the blonde who had woken him up.
"Hey, sleepy head. Shinra told me you were taking a nap and wanted to be woken once I got home." Shizuo said and carefully sat down beside the raven on the bed, before stroking his hair softly.
"Being with Shinra is tiring." Izaya mumbled and closed his eyes once more, feeling comfortable with the blonde's hand stroking through his hair.
"I can understand, so you weren't able to kick him out?" Shizuo asked with a soft smile when the raven opened his eyes again.
"Sadly enough, no. Celty staying here is fine, but Shinra…" Izaya said trailing of. "I don't think I can live with him for ten days."
"It will be fine, the worst thing he can do is watch every single thing you do." At that the blonde received a glare from the raven.
"That's what's so bad about all this." The raven growled before slowly pushing himself up, but didn't really succeed because of his big stomach. "Ugh, great, a little help please?" At that the blonde stood up from the bed and helped the raven to his feet.
"Seems like you need the help." Shizuo said.
"You're here to help me right?" Izaya said with a small smile and leaned up to try and kiss the blonde, which he didn't succeed in until the blonde leaned down to kiss him. They kissed for a moment before breaking away from each other. "Let's just hope he won't be too much of a pain in the ass and otherwise I will just kick him out."
"I can help you with that if you really want to get him out." Shizuo said and then grabbed the raven's hand. "Let's go downstairs, I made dinner before waking you up. I really couldn't trust Shinra to make it." Said Shizuo and lead the raven downstairs.
There they noticed Shinra and Celty sitting on the couch. "Let's have dinner." Shizuo said and then took the raven to the table.
Izaya said down in one of the chairs, followed by Celty and Shinra and then Shizuo, who came with the plates of food. "Please enjoy the meal." Shizuo said and then said down besides Izaya.
"This is good." Said Shinra. "Shizuo, I didn't know you were such a good cook." At that Izaya could see the blonde blush a bit.
"I have been cooking for Izaya for quite some time now, so I have become pretty good at it." At that Izaya snorted.
"What do you mean? And here you were saying the first time you cooked for me that it was because you had been living on your own." Izaya said while smiling.
"You were good at cooking before you came here, Shizuo?" The doctor asked now to which the blonde slowly nodded.
"Anyway, let's just eat." Shizuo said and started eating, without paying further attention to the other three people at the table.
Once Izaya was finished with his food he leaned back for a bit rubbing his stomach slowly with one hand. He still couldn't believe that it wouldn't take that long anymore before their little girl would be here. They had already thought of a few names and had finally decided on one a few days ago. The room was ready, so it was only waiting for the baby to come now.
Izaya looked up when he felt a tap at his shoulder. He noticed that Shinra and Shizuo had already gone somewhere and that Celty was the one tapping his shoulder.
[Can I see the baby's room?] At the question Izaya smiled softly.
"Sure, can you just help me stand up from this chair?" He said a bit embarrassed to need to ask for help from the dullahan.
[Of course!] Celty put her pda on the table before helping the raven then grabbed her pda once more, but didn't type any message on it.
"Alright, let's go." Izaya said and slowly started walking towards the stairs. Walking had really become a pain, but that didn't stop him from moving around, even though his hips and back were almost constantly hurting.
It took a bit of time, but soon they were standing before a door on the opposite side of the hall where his bedroom was. "Are you ready?" Izaya asked and as soon as he got a confirmation he opened the door and walked in followed by the dullahan.
The walls of the room were painted in white with red butterflies. The crib was white with red and white blankets and bedding. There was a rocking chair beside the crib, also white in colour. There was a changing table and a closet and then there were some shelves, filled with books and stuffed animals.
[It's beautiful!] Was Celty's answer and Izaya couldn't help but smile.
"That's what I thought. It turned out really good. You might not believe it, but Shizuo was the one to do all of this, with maybe a bit help from my sisters." Izaya said and walked over to the crib before laying his hand on it. "I can't wait for our little girl to be able to lay inside this crib." Izaya laid his hand on his stomach and received a kick as though the baby was answering.
[It might not take as long as you think.] Celty said and Izaya looked at her for a moment.
"I know it's only waiting now, but I feel that if it happens tomorrow I might not be ready for it." Izaya said.
[You're more than ready Izaya. You will do just fine.]
"I hope so." Izaya said and then walked past the dullahan. "I think I'm going to sleep early tonight, could you tell Shizu-chan for me?" When he received an answer he headed over to the bedroom and changed before crawling into the bed and soon falling asleep.

Izaya woke up to a sharp pain in his stomach. He waited for the pain to go away, thinking that it was just a Braxton Hicks contraction, but it took longer than any other contraction to go away. He slowly looked over to the clock on the bedside table and noticed that Shizuo wouldn't have to wake up for another hour, maybe he could just wait till the blonde woke up. It could be false alarm after all.
But only ten minutes later came another wave of pain, which made him panic slightly. The baby couldn't be coming now right? What did Shinra say again? If there were more than four in an hour, they might be real contractions. He had two now with ten minutes in between if they came every ten minutes then he would be having six in an hour.
Great, seems like these might be real contractions. Izaya thought and slowly turned around in the bed to face the blonde. Seems like he would have to wake him up. Extending his arm he started to shake the blonde's shoulder lightly. "Shizu-chan wake up." But the blonde showed no sign of waking up.
"Shizu-chan please wake up!" Izaya said a bit louder this time and shook the blonde a bit harder too, but still no effect. Why couldn't the blonde wake up when he needed him?
Izaya opened his mouth to tell the blonde to wake up, but another wave of pain hit him. "Ow!" He yelped, this one had hurt more than the one before. He had closed his eyes waiting for the pain to go away when he suddenly felt a hand stroking his hair. Izaya opened his eyes to see brown ones looking at him. "Shizu-chan…" Izaya said softly and waited till the contraction had passed before speaking again. "I think these might be real contractions." Izaya said and saw the blonde's face turn into one of shock before he sat up straight in bed.
"Are you sure?" At the nod from the raven, the blonde threw the blankets aside and stood up from the bed. "Wait here, I'm going to wake Shinra and Celty up." Before Izaya could ask the blonde to stay, he had already headed out the bedroom door and left the raven to wait on the bed.
Izaya tried to push himself up a bit, but suddenly he felt some wetness forming between his legs. What was happening? He threw the blankets completely of him to see a wet spot forming on the sheets. Did my water break? Izaya thought, but before he could think more about it he saw Shinra running into the bedroom.
"Are you alright Izaya?" Izaya glared at the doctor.
"Do I look alright? Especially since I think my water just broke." Izaya wanted to keep looking at the panicking face of Shinra, but another wave of pain hit him and he had to close his eyes to try and bit through the pain. When he opened them again, Shizuo was back in the bedroom.
"Celty is already downstairs making the car." Shizuo said before walking over to Izaya and saw the wetness beneath the raven.
"His water just broke." Was Shinra's answer before he looked at Izaya. "How far apart are they?" The doctor asked Izaya, to which the raven looked at the clock, to see that there should have been around ten minutes between the four contractions he had felt.
"About ten minutes I think." Izaya mumbled.
"Then we should have some time, let's get you to the hospital alright? Shall I call your doctor to tell him that we are coming in?" Shinra had gone into doctor-mode and he might still be panicking on the inside, but he was at least not showing it on the outside.
"I will carry him downstairs, could you grab his bag and call the doctor?" Shizuo said seemingly calm, but Izaya could see that the blonde was nervous.
Shizuo picked him up from the bed and it didn't take long before he was downstairs in the car and they were driving towards the hospital.

Once arriving at the hospital, Shizuo picked him up once again, before carrying him inside followed by Shinra and Celty. Two nurses and a doctor came towards them with a wheelchair. Izaya recognized the doctor as Yoshida and nodded as a greeting.
"Orihara-san, we have a room ready for you, the cesarean will be performed after we have gotten you ready for it." Shizuo placed Izaya in the wheelchair and went to push the wheelchair himself.
"That's fine, but please don't make it last too long." Izaya said and his face contorted in one of pain when another contraction came. "Seems like the little one doesn't want to wait much longer." He said once the contraction had passed.
Once in the room, Izaya got changed and placed on a bed, before he got taken to the operation room where the cesarean would take place.
Shizuo was allowed to go with him and he himself had chosen to stay awake during the process. He wanted to see the first moments of his daughter's life. There was no way he was going to miss that.
Now he was laying on the table, having no feeling in his stomach or anything lower than that. "Alright, we will start now." He heard a doctor's voice say and he felt a slight pressure when the scalpel cut open his stomach. Izaya looked at Shizuo to see his face turn slightly pale, which made him smile a bit. Izaya kept his gaze on Shizuo while they were working on getting his daughter out. Suddenly crying filled the room and Izaya's gaze went to where one of the nurses was holding a baby. That was his daughter. "Congratulations, it's a girl." A bright smile spread across his face. "Does the father want to cut the umbilical cord?" At that Shizuo looked up in surprise and nodded slowly, before going over and grabbing the scissors and cutting the cord.
"Can I hold her?" Izaya asked and then the nurse came over and laid his daughter on his chest. Izaya lifted one of his hands and touched his daughter with it carefully. She was just beautiful. Her hair was something dark, which might be his own raven colored hair or Shizuo's original brown hair. It just wasn't that clear yet.
Once they had finished up a nurse came over to him. "We need to check her on a few things, so we will be taking her, but it won't take long. Meanwhile you will be brought back to your room." The nurse said and then took his daughter from him. Izaya looked over at Shizuo to see the blonde crying.
"Eh, Shizu-chan, you're crying?" Izaya said, but couldn't help his own tears from falling and the smile on his face wouldn't go away either.
"I can't help it, I'm just too happy." Shizuo said and Izaya could only agree with that.

Once Izaya was back in his room, he felt really tired, but there was no way he was going to sleep before seeing his daughter once more.
As soon as the nurse came back with his daughter, Izaya couldn't help but smile and when his daughter got placed into his hands, tears started once again forming in his eyes.
Shizuo came closer and softly touched his daughter's cheek before leaning towards Izaya and giving him a kiss, which Izaya gladly returned. "She's beautiful." Shizuo said.
"Yeah, she really is. I can't believe we made her." Izaya held the child carefully and then looked over to the nurse who had some papers in hand.
"What are you going to name her?" The nurse asked with a smile on her face.
Izaya looked at Shizuo who gave him a nod. "We have decided to call her Hikari. Heiwajima Hikari." Izaya said.
"Heiwajima Hikari." The nurse nodded and then looked towards the two of them. "Heiwajima Shizuo should be put as father right? And Orihara Izaya, are you fine with being put as the mother?" At that Izaya nodded slowly.
"Yeah, that's alright." It would be proof that he was the little girl's other parent, even if it meant that people might not understand how he could be the mother, but that didn't matter anymore as soon as he saw his daughter, the rest of the world didn't matter anymore.
