A/N: Aww..preggers L is so cute. :3 He's such a good muse too. He likes to really drive Light crazy and he creates a whole lot of silliness without even trying. Aww…I just want to hug him.
Disclaimer: I don't own L or Light…I'm just having a little (mostly) harmless fun.
L's increasingly rapid mood swings were driving Light crazy. It was almost as if L had three separate personalities. Sometimes L could be extremely vulnerable and naïve. At those moments, Light felt a strong urge to protect L and just hold onto him. At other times, L could be a sex kitten, waking Light up in the middle of the night because he was horny. And there were other times when L was a mischievous plotter, such as when he sent Misa around the world. Light almost felt like he had to develop three separate personalities himself just to deal with L.
"Ryuuzaki, we need to talk," Light growled, finding L in the bathroom. L was perched on the counter, warily eying his own reflection.
"Can this talk wait until after lunch?" L asked. "I am exceedingly starved."
"Okay, fine. What do you want?"
"Raito-kun needn't worry about me. I have asked Matsuda to inform Watari that I am hungry."
Light raised an eyebrow. 'Don't you think that's a little weird? Can't you tell him yourself?"
"Watari and I are on very strained terms at the moment," L said calmly. "We haven't exactly spoken since I revealed my pregnancy to him."
Light sighed. "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to get you pregnant."
L opened his mouth to reply, but Matsuda returned at that moment. He peered into the bathroom hesitantly. "What are you two doing sitting around in the bathroom?"
"It is no concern of yours," L said crisply. 'Just convey Watari's message."
"Oh, right. He said you can make yourself lunch."
L waved his hands. "You may go now, Matsuda. Please, get back to work."
As soon as Matsuda left, L groaned. "This is terrible news."
"You'll be fine," Light comforted him. "I'll cook you lunch. You won't have to starve."
"That's not the point, Raito-kun. I specifically do not want you to cook for me."
Light blinked. 'Why? I can cook just fine."
"I am aware of that, Raito-kun. I just do not want you cooking this particular dish."
Light's suspicions heightened. "What is it?"
"Yams."
Light stared at him for a whole minute, willing L to break down and confess that it was all a joke. L stared back at him, perfectly serious.
Light started to laugh. "So you do like them."
L gave him a look that could have cut diamonds with its sharpness. "During pregnancy, one craves strange things, such as pickles and ice cream. I must ask Raito-kun not to expose me to any new foods. I do not want anymore cravings."
Light snickered. "But vegetables are good for you."
"Anything with such a horrid taste cannot be good for me. Now, quickly prepare me some yams so we may continue with our discussion."
Light sighed and plodded into the kitchen. L followed close behind, shuffling across the floor slowly, his hands resting on his stomach.
Light looked around the kitchen doubtfully. 'This might take a little while, Ryuuzaki. Do you want to talk while we're waiting for these to cook?"
L sighed. "Very well, Raito-kun. What do you wish to discuss?"
"You're almost six months pregnant and we haven't even thought of names for our children."
"We have at least three month left to worry about such matters," L said airily.
Light frowned. 'We have to start thinking about it now. If we keep putting it off, sooner or later the doctor's going to decide the babies are ready to be born and we want to be ready before then."
L frowned and stared at the fridge, looking deep in thought. "Cupcake."
"What? Oh, you want that cupcake we have left in the fridge? Well...cupcakes and yams make a strange meal, but okay. Now, we need two names for our children."
"Cupcake and yams," L said dreamily, gazing at the pan of yams.
Light frowned at him. 'I see now why you didn't want to talk on an empty stomach. Just please try to concentrate. What should we name our kids?"
'Cupcake is a good name," L said cheerfully.
'Are you out of your mind? You want to name our daughter Cupcake?"
"No, our son."
"Okay, that's just wrong on so many levels." Light shuddered. "That's the worst name you could have thought of."
L cocked his head to one side. "But cupcakes are wonderful."
"Cupcake is a food, not a name. Well, it could be a pet name you call your girlfriend…but it is not a guy's name!"
"I would not mind if my name was Cupcake," L said calmly. "Everyone loves cupcakes."
"I know everyone loves cupcakes. Everyone loves to eat cupcakes. Do you know how much therapy our child would have to go through to recover from being named Cupcake?"
"Strawberry?" L suggested.
"No! Nothing edible. We are not cannibals. We want to hold our child, not enjoy him for lunch."
"I will not eat our child no matter what he is named," L said sulkily. "What kind of a mother do you think I will be?"
"Not a very good one if you continue to attempt to name our children after food. Look, I'll even get you a by name book to show you that no one names their child cupcake, cheesecake, or whatever the hell else you want to name them."
L scowled. "Then I am completely out of suggestions for male names."
"What about our daughter then? What do you want to name her?"
L smirked. "Candy."
Light groaned heavily. "Don't even go there, Ryuuzaki."
