Izaya and Yuki were allowed to go home on the 31st of december. It had been snowing ever since the 24th, so there was a layer of white covering the ground.

He had just signed all the papers that were needed to be released from the hospital and now they were on their way to the entrance. Shizuo had come with the car, which was a smart decision, since Izaya was not allowed to overexert himself.

Because he had a c-section he needed to take it easy for a few weeks and he wouldn't be allowed to lift or carry anything heavy either.

Shizuo had left Hikari at home with Shinra and Celty, which Izaya was grateful for. Shizuo was currently walking in front of him with Yuki while walking towards the car.

As soon as they left the hospital Izaya could feel the cold and he was glad he had put warm clothes on Yuki, since he himself felt a bit cold. "Are you cold?" He heard Shizuo ask while the blonde stood still looking at him.

"Only a bit, so let's hurry to the car." He said and the blonde only nodded before leading the way to the car. Finally there Izaya sat down in the passenger seat while Shizuo put Yuki in the car too. After that the blonde sat behind the steering wheel and started driving the car.

Izaya looked out the window at all the snow that had fallen. "Can't believe it snowed while I was in the hospital." He said.

"I would say it's a coincidence. We called our son Yuki and it starts snowing." Shizuo said and Izaya could see a smile on the blonde's lips when he turned his head.

"Does Hikari want to go to the shrine for new years?" He hoped the girl hadn't asked about it, since he definitely wouldn't be able to go.

"She asked, but Aiko called about that and she said they could take Hikari with them, so she is going with them." That was also possible. He wondered if Aiko really wanted to go, but it was up to her to decide.

"So you're staying with us?" He decided to ask the blonde, he wouldn't mind if Shizuo had gone with Hikari, but since the girl was going with someone else the blonde was probably staying with him.

"Yes I am. You can rest as much as you want though, I will wait till Hikari comes back." He could complain about it, but he knew that there was no way how he was going to stay awake till Hikari came back.

"You could just give her a key and go to sleep yourself." There was of course no way the blonde would do that, since he himself wouldn't want it to be like that.

"I won't do that, I want to know when she gets home." The girl was only seven after all, so he could understand that Shizuo wanted to stay awake.

Soon Shizuo parked the car and the three of them went out of the car, the blonde carrying the bags, while Izaya took Yuki.

Once Shizuo had gotten all the stuff they went into the elevator and up to the apartment. Izaya opened the door to the apartment and walked inside.

He got almost immediately greeted by Hikari who came running towards him. "You're home!" She called while smiling brightly. He couldn't help but smile back at the girl while he ruffled her hair. "Stop that!"

"Hm? Did you say something?" He said trying to sound innocent. Yuki started moving a bit in his arms when he said that and the boy suddenly let out a loud cry, which soon turned into full out crying.

"What is wrong with him?" He heard Shizuo ask from behind him. Izaya didn't know yet, so he smelled the boy, but there was no foul smell. Maybe he was hungry and it was almost time for him to eat, so it wasn't that surprising.

"Probably hungry." Izaya said while walking further into the apartment. "I will make him a bottle, can you take him once you have put the stuff down?"

"That won't be necessary." Shinra's voice cut into the conversation. "I can make the bottle if you want."

If he could trust the doctor with it was a question, but he knew he wouldn't do anything to harm a baby. "Sure, just make sure it's not too warm." There was no way he was going to let his child get burned because of a stupid mistake.

"I know, you should sit down and take off your jacket." Izaya hated doing what the doctor asked of him, but this time he was right, so he carefully took off his jacket, before sitting down on the couch while holding Yuki carefully.

"Mama, can I feed him?" Hikari had come to where he sat and looked at the boy. "Can I?" This was the first time she asked and he didn't really see a reason to refuse her.

"Sure, come sit down on the couch and let one arm rest on the armrest." Hikari did as he asked her to do and said down while resting one arm on the armrest. "Alright, now carefully hold him like this and support his head." He placed Yuki in his sister's arms and made sure she had a good hold of him.

"I have the bottle." He heard Shinra say just as he was finished with helping Hikari hold Yuki. He took the bottle from the doctor and placed it in his daughter's free hand.

"Now carefully place the bottle in his mouth, but make sure not to keep it too high up. Let him drink slowly." He explained while he helped her move the bottle to the baby's mouth and watched as she carefully gave the milk to the boy.

As soon as he was sure that Hikari would be fine he let go of her entirely, but kept sitting beside her while she fed him. The sight of the two of them made his heart melt and he felt his mouth turn upwards in a smile.

It took a bit of time, but when the boy had finally drank the milk, he took him from Hikari and helped him burp. Afterwards he rocked the boy till he had finally fallen asleep.

"Shall I lay him down to sleep?" Shizuo was the one to ask this time. The blonde had finished putting everything away a while back.

"Sure, I think I'm going to lay down for a bit, I'm feeling tired." He said while giving the boy to his father. "Make sure you don't wake him up."

"I know, don't worry, you just get some rest." With that the blonde gave him a small kiss on the lips after which the blonde smiled before he headed up the stairs.

Izaya followed after him and went into their bedroom. There he took off his clothes and carefully got into the sweater and shorts before going into the bed and soon after falling asleep.

When he woke up Shinra and Celty were already gone and Shizuo was busy with making dinner. "Is it already time for dinner?" Izaya asked while yawning a little.

"Yeah, I was going to wake you up when I had finished this, but seems like that won't be necessary." Shizuo said. "Yuki's sleeping and Hikari's watching tv in the living room."

"Did he sleep the whole time I was sleeping?" He asked, since the boy would need another bottle soon.

"No he didn't, I had to change his diaper once." The blonde explained. "He needs his bottle soon right? I'm soon finished with dinner, so you might want to give it to him before dinner."

"That is if he wants to go back to sleep after eating." Izaya said, but started making the bottle anyway. "I'm kind of wondering how tonight will go. It's his first time here after all."

"It will probably be fine, we just need to hope that he won't keep us up for too long." The smile Shizuo was showing him was gentle. It showed that the blonde really cared.

"With a bit of luck he will sleep a few hours on end." Izaya said before testing the milk if it was not too warm. "The first few weeks with Hikari didn't give us much sleep after all, so hopefully Yuki will be more of a sleeper."

"Let's hope that, but even if he keeps us awake it will be fine." Izaya only nodded before leaving the blonde to the dinner and heading to Yuki's room.

Once there he noticed that the boy was surprisingly awake, but he was not crying, so maybe he had just woken up. "Hey there." Izaya said while picking the boy up before sitting down in the chair they had put in the room. "So you were already awake?"

The boy tried to reach up when he leaned down and before he even knew it the baby had grabbed one of his long bangs. He still needed to cut his hair now that he thought about it.

Carefully he made the boy release his hair after which he grabbed the bottle, before bringing it to Yuki's mouth. The boy soon started drinking which made a smile appear on Izaya's face.

After the boy had finished drinking he made sure that Yuki burped, before he wanted to place him back in the crib, but as soon as he let him down the boy started crying and holding his arms up, like he didn't want to be placed back in the crib.

"You want to come downstairs with me?" Izaya really couldn't leave the boy here, so he picked him up again and started making his way down the stairs.

"Ah Izaya, I was just coming to get you." Shizuo said before looking up at the raven. "Why did you take Yuki with you?"

"He didn't want to go back to the crib, so I want to try laying him here and hopefully he will agree to it." Izaya said before bringing the boy to the living room where he laid him down and covered him in the blanket. It seemed like he kept quiet, so Izaya dared to go to the kitchen.

"Seems like he keeps quiet." Shizuo commented and Izaya nodded. "If he starts crying again I will go."

"Thanks." Izaya said before starting to eat. "This is definitely better than hospital food." He said while smiling.

"Was it really that bad to need to eat it for a few days?" The blonde was smirking when he asked this.

"If you don't believe me you should try to eat it for a few days." He countered, which shut the blonde up.

"Mama, papa already told you that I was going with Chiyo to the shrine right?" Hikari suddenly asked.

"Yes he did. Make sure to dress warm, since it will be cold." Izaya answered before taking another bite of his food.

"I know that mama." The girl said while pouting.

"I just want to make sure you don't catch a cold." Izaya said softly. "So make sure to put on a scarf and hat at least."

"I will, don't worry!" The girl huffed. "I have finished eating, so I will be in my room getting ready." She said while soon leaving the room.

"Did I say something wrong?" Izaya asked the blonde who just shook his head?

"No, she just doesn't like you pointing the things out she already knows." Shizuo said. "Don't worry about it she's not really angry."

"Yeah, I have a feeling she wanted to go to the shrine with us." Izaya said with a sigh. "But this year is just impossible and it would have been if I had still been pregnant too."

"She might have wanted it yes, but we will go with her next year." That was something he had already been planning. "Yuki will be older then too, so that will make it a bit easier."

"You're right, I guess I just have to accept it for now." Izaya smiled slightly, before standing up. "I'm going to see if Yuki's still awake or if he has fallen asleep." With that he left the kitchen, leaving the dishes up to the blonde.
