After they were gone it suddenly sank in a hundred times more as Shizuo glanced at Izaya.
"If your naturally psycho... crap..." he said thinking about how this pregnancy would play out with horomones.
"Psycho? I'm not THAT psycho... am I?" Izaya pouted a little, his eyebrows drawing together in an expression of hurt. Besides he wanted a perfect child, and that would mean teaching it to be curtious and kind and to defend others... and not play horrifying tricks on them, carry switch blades hidden under their clothes, mess with the mafia, and definitely not pay people to run other people over.
"It's fine, you're my psycho," Shizuo walked over with a smile, kissing Izaya's forehead as he spoke. Izaya sighed a little and nuzzled into Shizuo's chest at the somewhat comforting words.
"So who... who all do we tell about... about this?" He asked, calming down already. He didn't know what to do or who should be informed that they were going to be parents. Kadota maybe though he wasn't sure he wanted Erika knowing... Shizuo rubbed Izaya's back gently, hoping it was helping.
"How about we pose it as a hypothetical question first before telling anyone? Just to gauge their reactions?" The blonde suggested.
"Hmm... a hypothetical one huh? Like 'What would you think if we had a child?' or something?" That should work since no one would suspect they were actually having one... just maybe thinking about it.
"Yeah... like that," Shizuo agreed, leading Izaya back up the stairs to clean up.
"That could work..." He agreed. Izaya helped Shizuo clean though he was still a bit queasy and then they headed to Shinra's place to celebrate with her and Shinra.
Others were there too, Shizuo noted, and it looked like Anri was in the room with Celty, probably helping the Dullahan do something to feel presentable since not having a head during crucial product developments made Celty oblivious to cosmetics and how to use them. Shizuo got Izaya some water and himself some too before he sat down with his lover on the couch.
Kida and Mikado eyed the two carefully, both still clearly convinced that they were about to try killing each other and Erika gave a soft squeal of delight before going to help Anri and Celty... and gossip about man on man action and how sexy it was. Kadota, however, smiled and nodded to both of them.
"Hey, see you guys got called over too," He commented.
"Yeah... you could say that…" Shizuo said; stretching his one arm out across the back of the couch, his entire body becoming relaxed and he took a drink of his own water.
"It seemed extremely important too," He said next and Izaya nodded.
"They certainly seemed adamant we come over... though I wonder why Shinra needed Anri and Erika?" Izaya tilted his head to one side, pretending to be none the wiser.
"Who knows," Shizuo muttered as he wrapped his arm around Izaya's shoulder. Moments later, the door down the hall opened and Anri came out smiling softly.
"Everyone ready?" she asked. Everyone nodded or mumbled yes, though Izaya merely leaned into Shizuo slightly, smiling. He knew exactly what was coming though no one besides he and Shizuo did.
"Presenting, Celty Sturluson" she said and from the hall came a redheaded beauty. She wore very little makeup, just some light blush and a very pale pink lip stick. Her hair had been curled loosely and framed her pretty face gently with two flower clips in it. She wore a white sun dress, something she wasn't normally seen in and a pretty little pearl pendant around her neck. She smiled softly and tilted her head.
"Pleasure to meet you all face to face finally," Celty said, her Irish accent a little thicker than when she'd spoken with Shizuo and Izaya back at their apartment. There were a few wide eyes and gasps and then a round of congratulatory remarks on finally getting her head back... Shinra of course was beaming and fretting over her beauty, convinced someone would try to steal her. Celty answered Shinra's worries with a jab to the solar plexus and a content smile, blushing very lightly. Shizuo offered his own congratulations, since she really was a gem amongst women.
"Damn that... what's his face? Uh… Seiji was it?" he was trying to remember Namie's brother who'd stabbed him, "He'd go crazy if he saw Celty now"
"Better watch out Shinra~! But I think he liked her better without the body" Izaya remarked with a laugh. Of course now people would know he'd had some involvement in this...
All eye's did turn onto Izaya, but they all seemed to decide that it was better to just not ask; why ruin a good moment right? Everyone too to asking Celty questions like what she was feeling or if she remember everything. Shizuo kept his questions quiet since they were pretty much all being asked by others anyways and turned instead to Izaya.
"You feeling okay?" He asked gently, worried about him more than he cared to admit. Izaya smiled and nodded, but he was pressing one hand on his abdomen subconsciously, still more than a little queasy and when Shinra started to cook something for everyone he frowned. He'd never had a problem with meat cooking before but he- he bolted for the bathroom again, the smell making him sick.
Shizuo excused himself and calmly got up to go after the flea and help him out. Maybe he could take Izaya for a walk while supper was cooking? He knelt down in the bathroom after grabbing a wet cloth for Izaya to wipe his mouth with.
"Its okay" he mumbled soothingly as he rubbed small circles into Izaya's back. Izaya groaned in response and rinsed his mouth out before wiping it on the towel gratefully, flushing the toilet and leaning into his lover.
"If I have to deal with this the whole time, then I feel really bad for every woman who has ever lived..." He whined. Izaya really hoped no one had noticed him rush out like that since only Shinra, Celty, he and Shizuo knew about this.
"Ya... I'll be sure Shinra drugs you for the labour then," Shizuo said hugging Izaya and standing up, "You wanna to go for a walk while supper cooks? It might keep you from feeling sick."
Izaya shook his head though, "I just wanna sit here... anyways I'm having a C-section..." Izaya frowned a little, annoyed with the fact that his flawless body would have a scar. There was little choice in the matter though; he knew it wasn't possible to deliver normally after all.
"I'm sure Shinra will prevent any scaring" Shizuo assured as he walked Izaya back to the living room.
"He'd better..." He muttered under his breath, his nose wrinkling in disgust when he smelled the meat still cooking. It made his stomach churn but there was nothing left to bring up so he was safe.
Once they sat down Shizuo leaned to Izaya gently, "You want to ask or me?" he questioned curiously.
"You... I still feel sick..." He mumbled, burying his nose in Shizuo's scent. Shizuo's scent calmed his stomach remarkably well after all and he shivered lightly, grateful for something to block out the stench that made him sick.
"So... Guys little change of subject... what do you think about if me and Izaya ever had kids?" the question was vague and not to detailed," Actually do you think it'd be weird for two guys to have kids?"
"Hm? Not that weird... but you guys might wanna wait on adopting a kid until you're really sure..." Kadota said.
"No-no, they mean mpreg! Right? Oh pleeease~ let that be it~!" Erika sighed though the others all rolled their eyes.
"Any child Izaya Orihara is in too much contact with will be screwed up," Kida scowled. Ah... Izaya could hardly blame him for that remark.
"Say... Nine months was the deciding limit?" he said curiously now, but it didn't answer the question fully.
"If we adopted a kid or… perhaps in Erika's case mpreg," he began," would you all ever speak to us again…? And I don't want to hear anything from you blondie" he referred to Masaomi. "I already know what you'd say"
Kadota blinked, "Of course I'd still talk to you... I like you guys... usually. You know when you're not being a troll or throwing vending machines or sending barrels full of gasoline down the third floor of the school hallway..."
"Oh, that one WAS a fun fight though, ne Shizu-chan~?" Izaya peeked up at his lover with a grin.
"...I don't want to remember it" Shizuo huffed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He then looked around to everyone, waiting patiently.
"I'd still speak to you both!" answered Celty and Anri agreed though she didn't speak to them much anyways.
"M-Me too I guess..." Mikado agreed, though it earned him a look from Kida.
"Ah~! Of course I would talk to you!" Erika meant 'stalk' but who cared.
"Sure but if it breaks my van you two would have to buy me a new one..." Saburo frowned. Shizuo looked to Izaya now wondering if he wanted to step on this path or not. Once they spilled the beans it was pretty much concrete afterwards. Izaya sighed softly and nodded once to Shizuo to signal that he was alright with Shizuo telling the rest of them what was happening. After all, those they actually spoke to on a semi-regular basis would still speak to them. Before they could say anything though Kida had to get his opinion in too.
"I'll still speak to Shizuo, but I already try to avoid Izaya. Nothing would change on that front."
"Then don't bother talking to me if you can't include Izaya" Shizuo grumbled, "I've known him a lot longer than you kid, and he's done shit worse than stage kidnappings to me… Yet I'm forgiving him…" Shizuo then hugged Izaya close kissing the informants temple
" Izaya's pregnant and due in nine months" Shizuo sighed now, hoping they believed it though they had Shinra to back them up too.
"...How?" Walker asked, seeing as this didn't normally happen. He had to catch Erika too since she fainted right about then.
"Shinra decided we would make a good trial pair for his new drug that allows for this to happen... and drugged me without my knowledge..." Izaya shot a glare at the doctor, who hid behind Celty. Shizuo had a similar expression aimed at the doctor.
"It definitely was not planned, nor was it really thought about since we've been together only a short while... but well make the best of it," Shizuo said, shifting slightly, "even if the relationship doesn't work out we'll do what's best for the baby"
Wow... Shizuo really sounded… mature. Izaya pouted a little not wanting to think about the relationship not working but he didn't dare say it either. He knew it was childish to believe that they would love each other no matter what since Shizuo might change his mind any minute on this. Shizuo wasn't set on letting that happen though. He was happy, Izaya was happy. They were happy together and he was intent on making it work.
"So that's why we're asking for support on this"
"Right, well, I hope you guys can do it, if you need help just ask, I know I'll help as best I can," Kadota smiled, "and I'm certain you'll have a hard time getting rid of Erika..."
"Thanks... and I'll try to keep Izaya from getting the kid to call you Dotachin" he promised but didn't guarantee.
"Eh? But Dotachin sounds so much better than Kyohei-kun or Kadota-kun!" Izaya whined childishly pouting at Shizuo.
"Uncle Kyo sounds just fine," said Shizuo lightly flicking Izaya forehead in retaliation. Izaya pouted though, small tears suddenly forming in his eyes.
"Don't do that..." He mumbled not sure why he felt so emotional... ah, must be his hormones. He gasped seeing tears well up in Izaya's eyes.
"Sorry... I didn't mean…" he began to wipe them away before they even dare think of falling, "I was just playing... I didn't mean to be mean" Shizuo murmured gently. Izaya sighed and buried his face in Shizuo's chest, blushing now. He felt... he felt stupid for being so emotional over such stupid things but he couldn't help it either. At that point the others took it upon themselves to congratulate the soon-to-be-parents, successfully distracting the hormonal informant, resulting in another mood swing, this one more positive. Shizuo sighed with relief resting his own head on top of Izaya's... this was going to be a long nine months.
