A/N: Yeah...so...I'm not dead..

I know, I haven't updated this story in a LONG while, and my apologies- I'm honestly so, so sorry :( And now, that I won't be able to update in quite a long while either, I thought it would be nice to update this and leave a parting gift for all of you guys for a few months :)

Pardon if this chapter is not up to the par and not that good, because it's been a long time since I stepped into my MisakixUsui shoes XP

THANKYOU A DOZEN TIMES for all your reviews, and your fave's and alerts! Each and every one of it made my day, and I hope that despite my notoriously late updates, you will continue on reviewing like this and making this author happy!

This chapter is for Devilish Dream, who suggested the idea. I hope I did it justice, and if you're still reading, thankyou :)

NOTE- The mechanical baby mentioned in this chapter is HIGHLY advanced, because I wanted to give it a 'human' feel. Also, 'Sebby' is the name of Usui's pet cat XD

DISCLAIMER- I don't own Maid-Sama.


You, Me and The Baby (Misaki's POV)


Monday~

"Awwwwww, they're just like real babies!"

My scowl deepened as I folded my hands and looked at the cooing girls around me. Here I was, stuck in my Home Ed. class where the teacher had told us that each pair of us will be taking care of a mechanical baby to get a taste of responsibility.

And guess who my partner was?

"Misa- chan, she has your eyes!" Usui cried as he brought the baby back to our desk, his face glowing "We're parents!"

The small baby was cuddled up in a pink blanket, wiggling her fingers as she turned her huge amber eyes on me, her mechanical head making a small buzzing sound as it did so. I frowned down at it- okay, so I have nothing against babies, but this whole idea is just ridiculous! I have enough responsibilities as it is, I don't want to have a baby along with my boyfriend! The last thing I wanted was to get attached.

"She's so beautiful, Misa.." Usui smiled, wrapping an arm around my waist while the other held the little girl "Thankyou. She's the best gift you could've ever given to me. I'm going to name her Aki."

I shrugged him off "What the hell! What is wrong with you?!"

"Misa!" Usui scolded me suddenly, covering the baby's ears "No bad words!"

I huffed just as the teacher- Mrs. Kamineni clapped her hands to get everyone's attention "Listen up, everyone! Now you'll be fake-feeding, taking care, changing diapers, keeping an- what is it, Mr. Shinjou?" the teacher sighed as a nervous-looking guy raised his hand.

"They- the baby won't really- you know- like, do bathroom stuff?"

"Don't be ridiculous, but they will cry whenever you need to change the diapers. If you don't change them- and they have sensors- then they won't stop crying. Not to mention, there is a recording device in it to keep track of what you say and do around it-"

"What, like, sensors on their butts?"

"You should keep a hold on that tongue." she narrowed her eyes at him "Okay, so you all are going to be taking the very best care of your baby, find out how essential the parents' role is in a child's growth, and by the end of Friday, I will be grading you according to how the baby's condition is and what you have to say about this home project. Understood?"

The classroom was filled with grumbles, mixed with the squeals by girls as they exclaimed about how excited they were. I sighed as Usui nudged my shoulder, gesturing to the bundle in his arms,

"We have a beautiful daughter!" he whispered happily.

And so it began.


Tuesday~

"Usui?!"

"And this is where Mommy works!"

I blinked at what I saw. Usui was talking to Aki, who was in his arms, looking- well- pretty, as he entered Maid Latte. She had flowers braided in her hair, and a silky pink dress on. When Usui saw me staring at him, he smiled and waved.

"Hello, Misaki! Look, Aki, Mommy's here!"

Oh my God...

"Usui, what're you doing here? And what is she wearing?!" I asked as I neared them, dressed in my Maid Latte uniform.

"Oh, I took her for a little shopping." he replied happily as he rocked her "My little daughter is going to be spoilt rotten by me. I was just showing her around- I've already shown her my house, the school, and I proceeded to your workplace. Our daughter has a right to know about her parents, even if she was born out of wedlock." he said innocently. Aki looked up at me with those large, hypnotic golden eyes while I just stared dumb-foundedly at my boyfriend.

"Usui- I'm working, can't you see that?"

"Ah, yes, we don't want to disturb you. But come on- your daughter would like to spend more time with you!"

"She's a robot-"

For the second time, Usui let out a dramatic gasp and covered Aki's ears "Don't say the 'R' word! Sssh, honey- mommy doesn't mean that!" He said softly to Aki, who moved her hand.

I stamped my foot down in frustration. He can be so infuriating! If it wasn't for the recording device that Mrs. Kamineni had told us about, I would be beating Usui with a bat for acting so childish. Over a robot!

"Take a seat." I said through gritted teeth "I'll be with you in a minute." I moved away to get a pen and paper to take his order, pushing the door open of the back room.

"Oh my God, is that Usui? With a baby?" I groaned as Erica cried. She was peeking out the door, and her eyes were wide as saucers as she spied on Usui, who had Aki on his lap and was playing with her fingers gently, laughing fondly at her "Misaki, did you know your boyfriend's a father?!"

"Its a mechanical doll, Erica. Look closer." I said, wearing my fluffy apron.

"No, I swear I- oh! Thank God! For a second I thought-" Erica paused, frowning "Wait. What is Usui doing cradling a doll in public?"

See? That's why I hate it whenever Usui comes around! He always manages to have something weird up his sleeve and drags me down with him.

I shook my head at Erica tiredly, clicking the pen in my hands as I began to walk out "It's a long story."

Usui's face brightened when he saw me coming towards them. He even grabbed Aki up so she could look at me too, and he held her arm, making her wave at me. I saw him lean forward and say something in her ear, wiggling her a little as he bounced her on his lap, and I felt my eyes soften a little.

"Misa, you look so cute! Aki, doesn't your mother look cute?" I rolled my eyes as he continued his blabbering "See- she looked even cuter the day I met her! She was sauntering- taking my breath away with every step she took- her eyes smoldering with..."

What the hell?!

SMACK!

"Censor your words- she's a small kid, you moron!" I cried angrily, hand raised. Several customers looked at me and Usui smirked, tilting his head to the side, watching me out of the corner of his eyes.

"Really, Prez? I thought she was..." he dropped his voice so that Aki wouldn't hear "...a robot?"

Okay, yeah, so I was blushing. What is wrong with me anyway? Why do I have to succeed in hiding everything from Usui only to blurt it out later and embarrass myself?

"I know, but I- she's- there's a recorder in there. You don't want Mrs. Kamineni hearing that." I mumbled.

Usui had the audacity to laugh.


Wednesday~

"It says 3 months above at the back. Do you think it's safe to feed it to her?" Usui commented as he read the back of the baby-food box.

I rolled my eyes as I brought Aki down to sit on my lap. It was seven in the morning, and we were already dressed for school, Usui had changed her diapers and thankfully taken the flowers off her blonde hair. Aki said "Mama!" in her recorded baby voice, her amber eyes staring unblinkingly up at me as I rocked her.

She'd been crying for most of the previous night, and I had insisted on staying and helping. At first, Usui and I had made this system (or more like I had made) that we both keep the baby alternately and take care of her, but it was like he was addicted to her. He would randomly text me- "How is our little baby doing?" or- "Who's a good girl? You are, yes you are!" at odd hours in the morning, and it was making me highly frustrated.

So, we'd decided to just stay at one place, and we had been up til eleven at his house. Ultimately, I had to stay there for the night, and we had just come to my house to drop by and say hello. Mom wasn't very strict with me- in fact, I think she rather enjoyed me being with Usui, so to her, it was alright to spend as much time as I wanted to at his place. And I really didn't want to reveal this whole nonsense project to her yet

"Usui, I'm sure Aki's more than three months old. She can eat the food." I commented, twirling her hair a little. She made a giggling sound.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Why don't you go read the manufacturing date on the box she came with?" I said sarcastically while rocking her on my thigh. Okay, so the only reason I was doing it was because I was supposed to help my partner, and I really wanted an A in this stupid project.

Usui frowned as Aki laughed in her recorded baby-like fashion and I smiled.

"But let's just say she isn't that old. What if she's a fresh piece?"

"It's not like she's actually going to swallow the food, Usui. Why you even brought real baby food for her, I don't know" I shook my head "We're fake-feeding her, remember?"

He sat straight up, "Then why don't we feed her chocolate, pudding, strawberries with whipped cream and a touch of hot fudge triple sundae?"

"Wha- no! She's our daughter and we won't be spoiling her! Besides, do you want her to get sick?!"

"She's not swallowing it. And I do have the right to spoil my baby girl rotten!" Usui leaned over, tickling Aki's nose. She laughed and her head turned from side to side as she giggled.

"See?" Usui smirked "She likes me more than you."

"Why wouldn't she? You're the one offering her all sorts of sugary treats. Any baby would be tempted." I huffed. I felt a little miffed when Usui took Aki off my arms and into his, smoothing down her curling blonde hair. It's quite funny- and shocking- that despite how she wasn't a real baby, and we weren't her real parents, she looked so much like the two of us in her features.

Usui stuck his tongue out at me "I'm going to buy her chocolate. The biggest chocolate I can find!"

"Hey-!" I cried, jumping up "Wait a sec, you can't-!" I stopped, defeated. That idiot had just run off to the candy shop with our daughter, laughing at the top of his lungs.

"Fine, but don't come to when she gets a toothache!" I shouted angrily.

"Who gets' a toothache?" Mom entered, looking amused.

"Oh, nothing, it's just some-"

"It's Usui and sis." Suzuna said automatically as she came down to join us, pouring some milk into her cereal. Being a student of Seika High, she knew about the project that had been given to us- the Seniors "They had a baby together."

Mom choked on the juice she had been drinking and began to cough violently, splattering the liquid all over the table as I sighed and came over to pat her on the back.

"Yeah...about that..."


Thursday~

"-STOP HER FROM CRYING!"

"I have tried- but I'm telling you, she just doesn't like the cat. It's not-"

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A CAT IN HERE?!" I bellowed. The shrill baby-like crying could be heard from the background, but I was too livid to think.

Usui pouted "I can have a pet, if I want to. You remember little Sebby!"

"But Aki doesn't like it, you alien, you have to think of these things!"

"I can't- he's homeless! That's so mean, Misa-"

"And letting your daughter cry endlessly throughout the night so that we don't get a wink of sleep is extremely generous?!"

"I can hide him, then Aki won't see him or be upset! And this has nothing to do with little Sebby- I've even told him to hide under the couch whenever Aki comes around-"

"And a cat will listen to you-!"

"Sebby will."

I glared at his innocent face as he blinked at me with a carefully blank expression. I gazed into his eyes- which were greener than ever- and I felt myself calm down a little. I sighed as I looked at his puppy eyes- why do I love this idiot?

"Usui, I can't-"

But Aki's cries grew shriller, and I gritted my teeth, shoving him away, catching a crying Aki in my arms from the couch and rocking her soothingly. .

I rubbed Aki's back as she cried- I don't even remember when I had come to take care of her "Sshh...quiet, kitty's gone now...your father's a complete idiot and don't worry, I'm going to mur-"

"Language, Misa."

"-going to make is life very unpleasant." I said sweetly, glaring at him. I looked down and smiled when Aki's crying slowed down, and she sniffed. Usui was watching me curiously, but said nothing "Ah, you're a good girl, aren't you? You don't cry, no, little Aki's a tough girl! Look at the stars, Aki, They're sparkling..." I smiled, bringing her to the wide window of Usui's apartment flat, where a million stars twinkled against the nightsky. Aki didn't say anything, her big golden eyes staring at the stars, which reflected off of her eyes "...just like you."

She giggled and I felt arms slither around me, Usui's hot breath fanning my neck as he kissed me there softly, burying his face in the crook of my neck.

"You make such a cute mother, Misa."

I blushed "It's your fault she was crying."

"Ah, Aki, isn't your mother just adorable?" he smiled "Come on, let's put her to bed."

That night, both Usui and I fell onto his bed at twelve, exhausted after putting her to bed- she had started crying the minute I had taken her off my hands, so we had been alternating until her eyes closed.

"She's a handful, and she's not even a real baby." I groaned, burying my face into the mattress "Imagine what having a human one would feel like."

Usui smirked and turned over, pulling me closer. I blushed darkly, even though I've been there with him in the bed more than once. However, I was too tired to push him off, and I really liked the way he was holding me.

"Well, she's our daughter, after all. And considering I'm an alien stalker, you don't have to worry about human babies." he said softly and I looked up at his bright green eyes, feeling something warm flood me before I noticed the teasing look in his eyes and realized that I had basically just talked about having a baby with him.

Oh God, what is wrong with me?!

"Yeah" I said, trying to sound casual, even though my heart was racing inside my chest. I had just talked about having children- and this idiot was continuing the topic! "Your alien babies would be a handful on a whole new level."

He laughed, pulling at my waist and sliding his hands to smooth down the creases on my clothes "God, I love you.."

He leaned forward and slid his lips into mine. I sighed blissfully, closing my eyes. I hated to admit it, but after all the day's diaper changing, feeding (fake-feeding at that- do you know how irritating it is to feed someone food and at the same time, not feed them?!), crying- I need Usui kissing me right then. He put his arms around me, pulling me closer so that I was pressed against his chest as we rolled on the bed.

He pulled away a little, and smiled cheekily at me "And don't worry, I want to have children with you too."

I flushed as he kissed me again, and then the whole world seemed to be forgotten.

This drunk feeling- this hazy, blissful, warm feeling I got every time we kissed was the best, most amazing emotion in the world. It made me lose myself, close my eyes and hold him tight and never, ever let him go. It was times like these that I felt like he was pushing through all my walls, and that he was getting closer and closer to me everyday. And that scared me, because even though at normal days all I did was yell at him, when he kissed me like this, I realized just how much I was falling in love with him..

"Misa.." he whispered, holding me closer, as he pulled the covers above us, his breath falling on my lips as he kissed me once again, intensifying it even more.

I was just about to roll us over when there was a thud, a loud breowwww! and a shrill baby scream.

I groaned as Usui pulled away, sighing. He brought the covers off us, and brushed his hair away from my eyes gently, standing up.

"Get some rest. I'll get her." he said, kissing my head softly and padding out of the room.

I groaned and threw my head back on the pillow.

"I'm going to kill that cat."


Friday~

That was it- Friday. The last day of taking care of our baby.

Usui held her in his arms, rocking her gently as she slept. I looked around the class, and everyone was staring at me. Apparently, I was the only girl who was not holding her baby. The rest of them had their's clinging to their chest as they coo-ed and sniffed- but in my and Usui's case, it seemed like the roles were reversed completely.

"I'm going to miss you!" Usui cried, hugging Aki "And don't take it too personally if Misaki doesn't hug you, Aki, it's just because she's too fragile and the mere mention of losing you will send her crying..."

I glared "...Fragile?"

"Aw, Misa, you don't have to hide it from me. Just look at her- how can you not miss that face?!"

"Because it's not a face, it's a big ball of plastic" I shot back, wincing at how heartless I sounded, careful not to look at Aki. She had cried and cried for the whole week- especially the last two days, and yet- I felt like after today, I was going to miss her crying...

"Don't say that!" Usui covered her ears once again, and I shook my head. This guy...

"Aw, Misaki...she looks just like you too!" Sakura squealed as she came up to us, holding a red-haired baby she had been assigned with Yukimura "What a co-incidence!"

"Yeah. How about yours?" I asked "What did you name him?" I gestured towards the baby boy doll in her arms.

It was only when the two stared at me that I realised what I had asked. Obviously, by the look on their faces they hadn't named him- it. But how was I supposed to know? Sakura's all girly and emotional, she would've named him too! I felt a blush creep my face, and could almost feel Usui smirking behind me.

"Um..." Sakura went "..We didn't really name him anything, since- well, I didn't really want to get attached to him, so we just called him- well- 'him'. Or 'the baby'."

"Oh, uh-"

"Okay, class! Time to part!" called Mrs. Kamineni as she took control. She made a guy go around the class with a huge sack "Please keep your dolls in it's box and inside the sack when it comes to you, along with you and your partner's name on it. And then, you will be writing a 500 word essay on how and what you did during..."

Usui held Aki closer to his heart as he watched the teacher talk, whispering in Aki's ear "Don't worry, Daddy loves you, and he's going to sneak you out of the Teacher's lounge the minute Mrs. Kamineni is not looking..."

I elbowed him "You're not!"

He didn't say anything, just held his arms out so that Aki was shoved in my face.

"This is it, Misa. Your last chance to say goodbye."

I scoffed at him but when I looked at Aki's face...I don't know what happened, but the next thing I knew, I was reaching out for her. Her hair were soft as I stroked it and the thought of putting her back inside the box made my bone chill. Was I crazy to feel bad for this doll because she was going back inside? I mean, I could just imagine how suffocating it must've been for her, but..

Usui watched me smugly as I stared at Aki, unable to look away from her hypnotizing eyes "Soo...ready to let go of her yet, Prez?"

My hold on her tightened and I looked down.

No.

"We could always sneak her out when the teacher's not looking..." he suggested, eyeing me.

"It's unhealthy to get attached to a doll, Usui" I said roughly.

"Well, then, let's make one of our own."

That snapped me out of my mood. I kicked him, going red "Keep your perverted ideas to yourself!"

Just then, the sack was passed to me and the amused look on Usui's face vanished as he lost the little color he had left. I froze.

No... Was my first instinct.

"Helllooo, Prez- the doll?" the boy waved the sack in front of my face, and I jerked.

"Right" I said, and took the box from Usui, gently placing Aki in it, closing it and putting it inside. I watched as the guy moved to the next desk, my eyes stuck on the sack..

It must be so dark in there- wouldn't Aki be scared if she was there...?

I felt Usui come behind me and put an arm around my shoulders "It's okay, you just got attached, Misa. I know you're a softie inside."

I let myself lean into his embrace, my gaze unwavering.

"Sakura was right. We shouldn't have named her."

He chuckled "So are you admitting that you got attached?"

I blinked rapidly, slapping him lightly on the shoulder as a thickness began to well up in my throat "Shut up..."

"Awww, Misa, that's so cute!' he pulled me closer, tightening his hug, and I felt somewhat better as I sat there, watching people dump boxes after boxes into the sack on top of my daughter.

Ok, Misaki, stop. Enough is enough.

I cleared my throat and sat straight up "Well, at least it's over with. All the crying and the stupid diapers."

"For now." Usui answered casually.

I narrowed my eyes at him "What do you mean for now?"

"Well.." he looked at me skeptically "You do want children after our marriage, don't you?"

My eyes widened as heat went up my face. Usui looked at me innocently, tilting his head to the side.

"Misaki..?"

I just shook my head, turning away from him- partly because I didn't know how to react and partly because-

I really didn't want to answer that question truthfully at all.


A/N: Yeah...so...I'm not sure if this was any good. It was way below my expectations, but I wanted it up today- as today's sort of my last day with Internet for quite a while. Let me know how I can improve, yeah? I'll be making it much better next time, don't give up on this fic just yet :)

I'm always open to suggestions and ideas for more chapters, just hit me with a PM or a review. I won't be updating regularly for the upcoming months, but I promise I will update as soon as possible!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for reading!

Please review :)
