Months had passed and Eiji's educational period was over and he was on call today. This was the first time in weeks that Eiji and Kunimitsu were able to play a game of tennis. One set match between the two lovers, Eiji know that he was losing but he enjoyed the game and they made a promise to each other that they would try to play a game every week. Working up a sweat was good, even though both of them were going to have pains from the training tomorrow, but it didn't matter. A sudden sound of a beeper made its way to their ears. Eiji ran to their bags, there was an emergency at the hospital and he was being paged. Tezuka grabbed their things and shooed Eiji towards the hospital, clad in his tennis clothes Eiji walked to the counter asking why he was being paged. The receptionist, now he knew her name was Kazuma, she told him about that they were doing an emergency C-section on a young woman that had gone in to labour five weeks premature of her due date. They wanted Eiji to check on the premature baby and be in charge of him, a huge responsibility and Eiji liked it. Kazuma giggled a little and pointed out that he might want to change and take a shower before entering the maternity ward. He joined in her laughter and told her that he was playing tennis this morning since about eight. She thought he was ambitious and working out made every guy attractive. And seeing Eiji-sensei in training clothes would be the talk of the week amongst the nurses. He thanked her and did his usual (to us) bounce in to the locker rooms and hit the showers in lightening speed. Scrubbing himself clean Eiji took a white towel from the rack and began drying up. Then he quickly jumped in his colourful surgical clothes, luckily he had put extra underwear and socks in his locker for emergencies and this was clearly an emergency situation. His beeper went of and he rushed down to surgery, scrubbing his arms with that special non-scented soap lathering his arms and disinfecting them.
Getting in the OR he saw a familiar face on the bed, her long light hair was tucked in in one of those caps that you wear in surgery, but it was no mistake, there on the bed was Ame, Oishi's girlfriend. Eiji smiled behind the mask covering the lower half of his face. Next to her holding her hand and having a worried face on was Oishi, his eyes were tearing up being able not to help her though this. Eiji was determinated that this would be a success, and not to tell them to think anything else. Opening the doors he entered and nodded at the sensei in charge of this whole thing who apologized:
"I'm sorry we called you today, I hope we didn't disturb you Eiji."
"Eiji?" Oishi turned around to se his former doubles partner standing there doing a victory sign, smiling with his blue eyes sparkling.
"Do you know each other?" the sensei asked curiously.
"Yes, he is the baby's god father." Ame smiled, while clenching her jaws in pain, the local was not working yet it seemed.
"I am?" Eiji almost squealed.
"Of course, you were the one that helped Ame and me from the beginning, you and Tezuka that is." Oishi smiled.
"Nya, Oishi…" Eiji blushed and the sensei gave the all clear for the surgery to start. Eiji was standing there ready to take the child in his arms, only seconds later he was holding the boy in his arms and walked over to his working table. Clearing the child's mouth and listening to his heart beat, Eiji gave the child a little nudge and he began wailing. A sigh of relief was heard in the room.
"It's a boy." Eiji smiled at his two friends showing them their little miracle.
"Go with them, see him close then come to me?" Ame said and blinked sleepily.
"I will. I love you Ame, I really do." Oishi said and kissed her forehead.
"Come on Dad, we have things to do, so you can meet the love of your life later." Eiji said putting the child down and together they walked to the elevators and began their ride up to the children's ward, the child was premature and needed to be observed for a few days maybe longer.
"Eiji-sensei. There was a call for you, a Tezuka said that he was picking you up in an hour. That was about forty five minutes ago." The sweet brown haired Kazuma told him and Oishi.
"Ah, tell Mitsu I'm in room 509, and that he should come see his god son." Eiji smiled, guiding Oishi and pulling the emergency table for newborn children in front of him. Arriving at room 509 Eiji asked the nurses to clean the boy up while he himself got cleaned up and got a cup of coffee with the boy's father. Oishi wanted to watch as they did all those things, Eiji smiled and went to clean up leaving Oishi looking at his son.
Tezuka arrived a little bit early and walked in to the children's ward. A brown haired woman smiled at him asking if he might be Mitsu.
"I am." Kunimitsu answered and she told him that he should go to room 509 and that there was something that he should see there. Eiji emerged from behind him, showing the receptionist, who blushed, to be quiet by holding his index finger to his lips. He sneaked up behind Kunimitsu with the intention of scaring his lover, but instead his Mitsu turned around and grabbed his boyfriend in a bone crushing hug.
"Silly Eiji, thinking that he could scare me…" Tezuka joked.
"Come on Mitsu, there is someone I'd like for you to meet." Eiji was still smiling and laughing. Walking together down the hallway they entered the infant part of the ward. A mother and child part, standing outside room 509 Eiji knocked on the door lightly and quietly pushed it open. There sitting on the bed was Ame, the new mother and the new father was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I've got your first visitor here." Eiji smiled and stepped aside, showing Tezuka behind him.
"Ah, Tezuka." Oishi said and began rising to a standing position, but Tezuka put his hand on Oishi's shoulder pushing him back down. Leaning on him for support he kissed Ame's cheek and congratulated the both of them. A red haired nurse (not as red as Eiji's hair, dark red) came and asked for Eiji to look at the child. Smiling and turning to the new parents he said:
"Of course I need to see him, I have to see him with out all that goo on his body. Don't be scared."
Ame and Oishi nodded as Tezuka sat down on an armchair and the three began talking about nothing, Tezuka noticed that they were nervous so he asked things to get them to think about a little other things:
"Have you decided on a name yet?"
"No, we thought we'd have five more weeks… but we have ideas." Oishi said and both of them seemed to calm down a bit.
A couple of minutes went by then Eiji arrived with a blue bundle in his arms, there was no need to keep the child on oxygen, he was breathing just fine on his own. But for safetyreasons they would keep them both for a couple of days. He handed the child carefully and with practiced ease to his father, Oishi was standing there and felt awkward, Eiji was handling his child better than himself. Tezuka leaned closer to Oishi whispering:
"Don't worry you'll get the hang of it. I did."
"You did?" Oishi wondered.
"Mhm, I held Eiji's niece once, he left me alone. What to do?" Tezuka shrugged it of.
"You held a child?" Oishi was stunned and Tezuka nodded.
"He'll be a great dad some day." Eiji admitted.
Ame laughed at that and got the attention of the three men, she continued laughing and looked at Eiji wheezing:
"And how about you Eiji-kun? You'd be a great dad to. Lucky child…"
"Thank you Ame-chan." Eiji blushed and smiled at her.
"So, are you going to introduce uncle Eiji and uncle Mitsu to the sweet little child?" Eiji asked and sat down with her on the bed.
"Hikaru, these are your god fathers…" she whispered to the child.

This was the first day in a long time that Tezuka did not want to work, he did not want to leave those warm and comfortable greenish-blue cotton sheets. He felt like it was not his day today. He had this creepy feeling in his gut, something was going terribly wrong today. He dragged himself to the kitchen table and ate some breakfast, leftovers from dinner yesterday. Tezuka rubbed his eyes and yawned, Eiji had the night shift at his ward and wasn't supposed to come home until the afternoon. Deciding not to make coffee at home he took his bag and slung it casually over his shoulder, he walked out of the apartment and locked the door. Walking slowly Tezuka took his time looking around and getting him self lost in thought. Thinking about why he was feeling so misplaced and what was about to happen now, trying to shrug it of he shook his head gently and continued his slow walk to the hospital's left wing, the physical therapy, massage and acupuncture wards were together.
He, Tezuka Kunimitsu was admitting that he was jumpy, how unusual… He felt followed. Probably was the cause of it lack of proper sleep, he could not sleep well at all with out Eiji in his bed, with out him something was missing. With a smile on his face he decided that this morning he would pay a visit to Eiji and give him a hug, for no other reason than loving him. In a few days it would be his own birthday again, and yet again his family would be no where to be seen and he was alone. No, he decided he was not, with Eiji there he would be fine. Maybe they would invite a few people over for dinner that day, the Fujis along with Oishi, Ame and Hikaru of course. This dinner party was going to be fun, he decided right there and then. Maybe he could convince Eiji and Oishi in a doubles game against him and Fuji. Having his blank face on Tezuka walked inside the hospital to the rehab ward where he was currently working, not noticing the shadow that had followed him there. Making a quick change in to his green surgical suit and took his nametag from yesterday's clothes and putting it on his left hand side on his chest. Readjusting his glasses while he walked to the cafeteria, he thought of Eiji and wondered how his first night shift had been. He decided to get the red haired man a cup of coffee with that hug.
Eiji was tired, he felt like he could fall a sleep in a matter of seconds if he did not keep himself occupied. Making the rounds on his five children he had gotten responsibility of Eiji tried to smile the whole time and get by to his two hour break in about an hour. Sighing for himself he wondered what Tezuka might be doing. But when a familiar hand landed on his shoulder with a light squeeze Eiji smiled and looked at the person owning that hand, his boyfriend was offering him a cup of warm coffee and seemed like he wanted something more. Eiji tilted his head a little to his side wondering what it was. After letting Eiji take a sip of the warm fluid, Tezuka took their cups and put them down on the nearby counter, then took his beloved Eiji in his arms. Holding him tightly and breathing in the familiar scent of his lover, Tezuka almost purred in contentment. He turned the purr into a sigh, they were fully aware that they were in a public place and along with children, but that did not stop either one of them. A young mother went up to them and began nagging about them being to grown men hugging each other, that was just appalling and why were they looking at her like that. This was actually a hospital, her son was in there and with him sick she did not want to be worried about other things.
"Other things? Like what?" Eiji wondered.
"Two men in each others arms." She answered with a high pitched voice.
"Why is that a problem?" Tezuka said using his stoic personality, but this woman would not stop. Luckily Tezuka was still holding Eiji, who by the looks of it wanted to run away and cry.
"It's not how it's done. And there are children around." She argued.
"Well, lucky for them to be here." Anoter female voice sounded and they saw An wheeling the speaking Ame out from her room.
"Ame-chan…" Eiji breathed.
"What do you mean by that? Two gay people are here making a scene!" she hissed.
An smiled at her and looked at the two lovers while Ame continued arguing with the un-lady like woman.
"I have never had a better doctor around than Eiji, oh, Kikumaru-sensei." Ame growled, she was pretty mad that someone could be so narrow minded.
"You know this?" she said and pointed to the two men still holding each other tightly.
"Of course I do, that's my boyfriend's best friends." Ame glared at the woman then continued:
"If you have a sick child shouldn't you worry about him instead of criticising one of the best doctors this hospital has ever had. He saved my son who was born early, and I love them as two of our closest friends!"
Tears were brimming in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks, Eiji looked apologetically at Tezuka, letting him go and crouching in front of Ame he smiled at her:
"We love you guys, you know that. I appreciate you standing up for me, Ame-chan, but calm down now, before you meet your lovely boy. The stress is not good for either one of you."
"Mhm." She sighed and Eiji dried her tears, her hormones were acting up on her and were making her emotionally unstable. Ame took Eiji in to her arms and hugged him, whispering:
"I will always be on your side."
