In that single moment, Kyoko panicked,

Could she do this? Could she really love her half brother who her mother had loved when she was unable to love her?

Lory, sensing her confusion, squeezed her hand. It was his simple way of reminding her she was not alone. The instant the car seat was turned to her revealing the child, all of her doubts and all of her fears faded as she looked into the golden eyes of the child she instantly loved as her own.

Lory stepped forwards eagerly as he held out his hand for the carseat. Hana handed it to him as he lifted his new little charge to look at him closely.

"Oh isn't he just a darling." he was almost squealing with delight as he tickled the chubby little cheek.

"Wait..." but it was too late as soon as Lory's finger touched his cheek Toru started to scream. Lory looked visibly shocked as he started to bounce the carseat.

"Hush hush hush now. What's wrong little man?" he cooed as Toru just screamed louder.

"It's my fault I should have warned you he is funny about strangers and being touched." said Maiko as she walked to Lory's side and tried to console the screaming child but to no avail, as his cry became more and more distressed. It was like a light sparked in Kyoko as she turned the carseat towards her. Popping open the clips, she picked up Toru in her arms and held him tight.

"That's enough of that." she said firmly as Toru stopped crying instantly. The two stared deep into each other's golden eyes before Toru laid his head down on Kyoko's shoulder and remained there silently. She turned to the astonished people from the social services and Lory just smiled.

"Well looks like mommy knows what to do ladies." he smiled warmly at Kyoko's shocked face

"Mommy? But I'm his sister." she cried alarmed as Toru stirred slightly she lowered her her voice and continued,

"And I couldn't be his mother especially as you're his father now!" Lory smiled lightly as Maiko corrected her gently.

"Actually Kyoko-san Lory signed as the child's grandfather you are down as Toru's legal guardian. As soon as you reach 18 years old he will officially be in your care under the guidance of Takarada-san of course. Isn't that what you yourself decided? That you would care for the child as his mother and guardian in Saena's place?" Lory was impressed by her tact as she avoided saying 'your mother.' Kyoko looked at the quiet child on her shoulder then back at the four people watching her.

"Of course. Sorry for my mistake but as you can imagine to go from being all alone in the world to having a sibling and now a son it is rather a big step for me." Lory was so proud of his new daughter he could have cried as he saw Maria looking down from the doorway eager to see her new brother.

"Well then ladies we have a little welcome party set up inside. Please come in and share this joyous day with us as I'm sure its been a long journey and of course you will be welcome to a tour of the house and the children's new living area. I've set up special rooms for them both." Kyoko looked at the pure joy in Lory's eyes and wondered if she really wanted to know what special things had been set up for them.

"I hope you didn't go to too much trouble president." she said feeling embarrassed as she looked at the floor.

"Kyoko-chan look at me." he said sharply. As she did as bidden he looked at her very seriously.

"You are no longer allowed to call me president. Imagine my shame when my daughter calls me that but calls my best friend Dad!" Kyoko looked at the floor, tapping her toe as she took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry father, yet again this is all so new to me." wrapping his arm around her shoulders he hugged her tight, kissing her head.

"Take as long as you need Kyoko-chan but remember you're my daughter now and always." she smiled a happy, yet confused smile as they lead the way up stairs to the awaiting party.

The party was a happy affair. Everyone cooed over the cute, chubby child as they talked about how wonderful he was but he would not let anyone hold him apart from Kyoko. Even when Hana, Maiko and Karin tried to help he just screamed frantically trying to get back to her. She couldn't bear the way he cried so she would take him back apologising. Ren watched Kyoko, a small smile on his face.

"It's a good job. Everyone here but the woman in question knows you love that woman Kuon. You're slipping more and more." Lory commented striding over to the tall man watching Kuu and Julie talking with Kyoko. Ren fixed his mask back on and sighed.

"One day I hope she will realise it too." he said with a sigh as he watched and realised Kyoko looked uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, boss." he said as he strode over to her and his parents who at this time were not his parents.

How will she even know if you won't tell her you stubborn mule.

Lory sighed as he followed Ren.

"Please excuse us." he said, pulling Kyoko to the side away from his parents as he looked at her closely.

"You are unhappy what's wrong?" he asked her eyes full of concern. Kyoko was amazed as he looked at her like that. How had he realised?

"Its nothing." she lied instantly as she shifted the sleeping Toru to a new position

"Don't lie to me Kyoko-san, I know you better than most people. Just tell me what's wrong." he started to feel worried. Didn't she like his mom? Had she said something? He watched as she shifted the sleeping infant again and suddenly realised

"Kyoko-san is Toru-chan starting to feel heavy?" he enquired softly. She blushed ever so slightly and looked at the floor, putting his hand under her chin, he forced her to look at him

"So he is heavy but you hate to hear him cry so you're forcing yourself." she looked up at him her heart racing uncontrollably.

"I'm not forcing myself Ren-san, but it distresses everyone else as well as Toru. I just don't want to be a bother." That wasn't it, it wasn't just the shifted again uncomfortable as Kanae appeared beside her.

"You need the toilet." she stated bluntly making both Ren and Kyoko blush

"Don't deny it, I've been watching you. Now hand the sprat to Tsuruga-san and you can show me where it is too." Kyoko looked at her shocked before replying

"But I don't know where it is either."Kanae just smiled even broader

"Good we shall learn together then." taking the sleeping child from her best friend's shoulder she thrust him towards Ren who looked stunned.

"Kotonami-san, I can't" he croaked out the words petrified by this small child she was handing him.

"Mo, don't be silly! Of course you can! Just hold him like you would a ball and he will be fine." she hardly waited for his hands to support the child before she let him go, grabbing Kyoko's hand and leading her away. Kyoko only got one look at the terrified Ren before Kanae dragged her around a corner and out of sight.

Ren stood there completely out of his element. He pulled the small child towards him but just couldn't decide how to hold him to make the child comfortable. Kyoko had made it look so easy but he had never held a child before. Well not one so young anyway. He looked around the room, everyone was busy with their own talk. Lory had occupied his parents, but mother instinct runs deep. Sensing her own son's confusion Julie turned and was pleasantly shocked to see her Kuon holding Toru. His eyes pleaded with her for help just like when he had been little.

Julie excused herself and walked over to Kuon, smiling in a knowing way.

"Mom." he let out in a whispered gasp as he tried to hand the sleeping child to her but she just shook her head.

"You need to learn Kuon. Now is the best time." with deft hands she showed him how to lie the sleeping child on his shoulder and where to hold him.

"Does that feel comfortable? He doesn't feel heavy?" she queried as her heart melted at the sight of her one and only son looking like a father.

"I can hardly tell he's there." he admitted. As he held the small child Julie nodded

"Well that's good." with that she turned and walked away. Smiling Ren wanted to call out to her to beg her not to stop, but as he shot out an arm to try and grab her, the small child stirred and moved.

Oh God, no. Please no...

he thought turning his head slowly as golden orbs met brown.

hehe oh dear a clingy baby,

this is honestly my worst nightmare when my daughter was little she would

go to anyone and was very loving to everyone

never really clingy unless tiered

but after watching people literally having to peal there children

off their legs to drop them, off at school I am just so glad

Lily isn't like that :)

Hehe looks like both Julie and Kanae want to torture Ren

but what will baby Toru think to his new big cushion?

Review talk

Sleeping Destiny:

Like you I am very much for the Kyoko X Ren match up, I would never allow her to go with Sho, I hate Reino as a character in general and Hikaru well lets just say Hikaru needs to grow something before I would even consider him worthy of Kyoko

so yes this will be strictly the lovey dovey main couple :)

the only other person I have ordained good enough for Kyoko upset a few people XD hehe

but not everyone likes same sex relationships

Cana99 and Faith in reality:

you pair are so far ahead in Living for her you know more than I do half the time XD

so its good for you to get a bit of excitement :P
