Chapter 37

Aya stared, confused, as Yohji suddenly ran out of the room, stating that there was something wrong with their girls.

He wanted to get up and follow, but there was no way he would be able to move around that much with the stitches all through his belly.

He hoped to hell that Yohji's instincts were wrong! Something couldn't be wrong with his girls! If anything happened to them it would kill him inside.

"Now now, no need to get all worked up. I just didn't want any interruptions," Schuldig chuckled as he approached the bed.

Aya flinched away when Schuldig caressed his cheek.

"I've missed seeing that determined, stubborn spirit in your eyes. I just had to come and visit you." Schuldig was the last person he wanted to visit with!

"Your girls are quite beautiful. I wonder if my boy will be as gorgeous."

"What do you want!" Aya hissed, wanting to get up and beat the living shit out of him.

"Just think of it, our kids will be very close to the same age. Maybe when they're all grown up they might meet and become very close! I mean what teenage boy wouldn't want a pair of redheaded twins!"

"I'll never let that happen! I'll tell my girls to avoid your boy like the plague! If I see him anywhere near them I'll kill him! And you won't be able to stop me because I'll have already killed you!" And he meant it, too!

There was no way in hell he was going to let Schuldig's brat anywhere near his girls!

"Such a dangerous mommy you are. With an attitude like that your girls will never be happy. They'll become you, self righteous murderers! When I look at you I see blood, and its delicious! It makes me want to lick you from head to toe! The only thing keeping me from that is Brad!"

Aya's heart sped up as his body betrayed him. The image of Schuldig on top of him, tracing his tongue down his chest made his body tighten all over.

"I knew that would get your attention. Just admit it, Ran, you're attracted to me. If you, who knows who I am and what I'm capable of, can't stop himself from yearning for my touch, how well do you think your girls will fair against my son?"

"Fuck you!" Aya hissed, wishing the asshole would come closer so that he could at least try to hit him.

"One of these days when I visit I'm going to fuck you! I'll wait until you're healed, and then I'll get inside your head and make you ready for me! Maybe Brad will join in the fun, and I know Farfarello wouldn't pass up the opportunity. Its just so sweet to be able to delve into your head and make you want me!"

Aya would kill him before he'd let that happen! He was pretty sure Schuldig was merely voicing his desires and not his plans, because if he got the Schwarz team after him there was no way he'd be able to escape even with his sword!

"Get the hell away from him!" Yohji screamed from the doorway, unleashing his wires.

Schuldig just laughed as he dodged and exited through the window.

"Aya, are you okay?" Yohji ran to his side, grabbing his hand and linking their fingers together.

"Yeah, he was just trying to ruffle my feathers," Aya was pissed.

"Looks like it worked," Yohji kissed him lightly on the lips. Aya didn't answer. It didn't matter because Yohji already knew the gist of what had happened.

"I'm sorry, Aya. If I hadn't left this wouldn't have happened!"

"He sent you away, it wasn't your fault. You're here now, that's all that matters," Aya smiled as Yohji leaned down for another kiss, this time more passionate.

Aya opened to him, letting him deepen the kiss. It felt so good to have Yohji's arms as much around him as he could without hurting him.

He wanted to lose himself in Yohji's arms, but with the stitches there was no way he'd be able to do that much physical activity.

"He's pregnant with a boy and wants his boy to seduce our girls when they're older," Aya growled. It still pissed him off, just the idea that Schuldig might be right about all of this.

"Well then we'll just have to figure out what his kid looks like and warn our girls as they get older. Its about all we can do."

"We'll find his kid and kill him before he has the chance. Kritiker will know what he looks like long before we can find out."

"We could always kill him before he has a chance to have a son." Aya looked up at Yohji. Could he really kill Schuldig when the man was pregnant? Schuldig could've killed him the same way, but he hadn't. He'd had a small bit of mercy.

Aya didn't know what to think, what to do. Right now all he wanted was to hold his girls in his arms, to kiss their foreheads and know that they were safe.

He looked over at the little balloon boy that Ken had brought and smiled. Ken had surprised him with how much he'd supported him. Omi had always been very maternal, but Ken just hadn't seemed like the type.

He was going to have to do something to thank them once he was able to get around. He had a lot to be thankful for.

"Yeah, they've been pretty amazing," Yohji said as if he could read his mind.

"I never expected this to go over well. I expected to be a sideshow freak. But everyone stood by my side. I can't even begin to thank them enough. And you've amazed me. I thought you were going to be done with me over and over. I thought that you would hate me when I got pregnant. I was so upset when you avoided me. But then you held my hand through it, even when I had to lie to you." Aya could feel the tears straining at his eyes.

"I'll always stand by your side. We're in this together," Yohji kissed him again, setting his heart on fire.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we have the results of the paternity test," Dr. Yuri said as he entered the room. Manx was standing at his side, her eyes so warm as she looked upon them.

"Yohji, you're the father!" Manx announced. Aya just sat there and stared as Manx smiled at him.

Yohji screamed with joy, throwing his arms up into the air. Aya laughed, both relieved and amused by Yohji's antics.

He let the tears fall down his cheeks, and did everything he could not to sob with joy.

"Congratulations!" Manx said, looking like she wanted to go over and hug them both. But Manx wasn't really the type to hug.

"Thank you," Yohji said with a wide grin spreading across his face. He'd never looked so beautiful in Aya's eyes as he did right now.

"We've given this gift to you as a thank you for all of your hard work." Manx announced. Aya was surprised, he could sense the honesty in her voice, Kritiker really hadn't done this to him in order to steal his babies and make them killers. They'd actually done this as a gift.

"We'll take good care of the gifts you've given us."

"And when they're potty trained I might be available to babysit," Manx said with a small laugh.
