Gomen! Sorry that it took so long, schools been keeping me busy…and I keep falling asleep in study hall! LOL so I'm typing this at 1:00 in the morning.

"Well, wasn't that perfect timing." Tohma stated as he stood up.

"What? Perfect timing?"

"I was telling Eiri-san about a person I know from social services. He works with many same sex partners all over the world, and I'm sure that he can help you and Eiri-san."

Shuichi stared at the older man before him and quickly jumped off his lovers lap. "Tell me, that I'm dreaming."

"Do you want this to be a dream or reality?" Tohma began walking to the door, "I will get him to call you by tomorrow." He said before leaving.

After of few moments of silence, Shuichi turned to Eiri who was calmly sipping his coffee.

"Was he for real?"

Eiri nodded, and sat the cup down on the able. "Has Tohma every lied to you?"

"…Yes."

Eiri rolled his eyes, "If you're talking about New York, he didn't know where I was."

"Anyway! This is all besides the fact…Eiri, we're going to have a baby!" Shuichi squealed and jump once again on his lover.

"Don't get your hopes up, Shu-chan." Eiri warned, wrapping his arms around the younger male.

"I can't help it."

"Understandable. I'm…happy too."

Shuichi smiled at that comment, and snuggled deeper into his lovers embrace.

The next day, the Social Worker didn't just call, he came over, after questions were asked and papers were filled out the man, Mr. Williams from Florida in the United States, placed the papers into his briefcase.

"Is that all?" Eiri asked.

"For today it is." He said standing up, "Today all I needed to do was to see if you have a stable household to raise a child, and you proved to me that you do." He paused for a moment before continuing. "I'm sure that adoption will be easy its just the public you have to be worried about. Even in today's societies, same sex parents aren't accepted with welcomes and embraces…"

"Arigato."

"Don't thank me yet. Hopefully within the week, you should get a call saying that you're approved for adopting. Good luck."

*

"You okay, Shu-chan?" Erir asked, realizing his lover was unmorally quiet.

"Hm…just thinking."

"About?"

"…Is this what you really want?"

"Of course! DO you think I don't?"

"Not really…I mean, you don't seem excited."

"When do I seem excited about anything?"

Shuichi laughed a little, "Not every really…"

"I might not seem like I am…but, I am. I want us to have a child, Shu-chan. Just as much as you do."

*

It was two week -two weeks of hell and torture- before the call came.

They were approved.

And 3 days after that they were able to see the baby.

"She doesn't have a name yet." The nurse was explaining to them as they walked towards the nursery of a private hospiltal. "She's only a week old. Her mother abandoned her just hours after she was born- she just signed the papers and was gone."

"That's so sad…" Mika whispered as the small group stopped in front of a glass door.

The nurse turned and smiled at them, "Please, only the new parents."

Inside the nursery the nurse directed them to a small crib that the social worker, Mr. Williams, was standing by.

"She's beautiful, congratulations."

Shuichi and Eiri, both peered inside the crib to look at the small bundle. "Oh my gosh…" They both gasped at the same time.

Inside was a wiggling baby, the pink blanket was loosely wrapped around her and was coming unraveled as she moved. She had soft blond hair, and when she slowly opened her eyes they saw that she had perfect violet eyes.

"When I saw her…her feature were a lot like the both of you, so I knew she would be perfect for the both of you." Williams explained.

Her face winkled up and she began crying. Almost as if it was "mother instincts" Shuichi picked up the child, cradling her closely to his chest.

"Shhh there chibi-girl, Oh Eiri, she's so tiny and soft…just like a kitten."

Eiri stroked his fingers lightly over his daughters cheek, "Neko…"

"Neko?"

"Hai…Neko, Koneko…kitten, our little kitten."

Shuichi was smiling from ear to ear as he looked up at his lover who was looking at their baby…

Their baby.

"You know Shu-chan, I never thought this…this would happened." He lightly placed his lips on Shuichi's. "We're dads."

"You hear that Koneko-chan?" Shuichi handed Koneko to Eiri, "Lets show her to the others…then we can go home."

*

Everyone crowed around them when they came out asking a million questions a second as they attempted to fill out the final paper work.

"What did you guys name her?" Hiro asked, looking at his God-Daughter.

"Her name is Koneko, Uesugi Koneko." Eiri said proudly, looking at his lover who was holding their daughter. He had decided the moment they had stepped into the hospital that he was going to allow himself to love, and be loved by more then one person at a time.

"Let's go home now, with our Koneko."

~*~**~

Maa, maa…yea, PLEASE REVIEW. Yes, I got the Koneko from Sailor Moon but I just LOVE that word…:: dances around singing :: "Koneko! Neko!"
