Hooray for even more reviews this time around! I decided to lower the
rating to PG-13 since nothing too angsty will be happening for a couple
more chapters. Once it does, then I'll boost the rating back up to R where
it will belong. Now, before the next chap just a few shout outs to those
who reviewed:
MUKUMUKU: Yep! There will be some definate Lei x Rei hinting since they're one of my fav couples. But like I said before, this is also a Kai x Rei fic so that just means a nice love triangle! Oh, and cute name. Is it from Suikoden? There's a lil squirrel boy named Mukumuku...
DRAMA-QUEEN: Course there's gonna be angst. I can't write a good long fic without any, and this fic is gonna have some sweet ass angst!
ICE-PRINCESS: Yay! An 'always come back for more' reviewer! That's great. Oh, and you're very smart cuz you got it all figured out, too bad the father doesn't. ^^ He doesn't know yet, but he will soon enough...
DUDEMS: One update coming at ya!
MISTYEYES: Thanks. I'm trying to make Zhen as cute as possible since that's how he should be. :D
ANDROID 71: Thank ya!
ABASHED READER: Just so you know, I already knew that Zhen was a girl name but I thought that it could work for a boy too, since it seems like one of those names that could go either way, like Rei. And I had looked it up on a site where it said that it was Japanese, so they musta made a mistake, but it's no big deal. It's not like I'm making money off this fic, so I'll just stick with it being Japanese instead of Chinese.
FILTER GIRL: Yay! I exposed someone to the world of MPREG. XD
ZIDANE: Zhen is cute! ^_^
CLARA^LEI: I don't think you'll have to worry about that happening anytime soon... ^^;;;
LIEBCHEN: No prob! Just look below for another lovely update. ^^
LADYA MAXINE: Thanks! I think I answered both of your questions in this chapter... LOTR MPREG fics are what got me wanting to write this fic. Must be all that Aragon x Legolas goodness. :D It's good to see that alot of peeps like Zhen too, since more OCs aren't liked very much...

Chapter 3
"What the hell just happened?!?"
The driver of the van jumped, surprised by Kai's angry tone, and looked over his shoulder at the teen.
"I'm sorry, sir," the driver apologized. "But there appears to be some sort of an accident ahead of us and it's caused a traffic jam. The person in front of me stopped too suddenly and I had no other choice but to brake so fast."
"Fine," Kai grunted, still angry at the sudden dilemmia. All he wanted right now was to get back to the hotel, and now they were stuck in a traffic jam and who knew how long that could last. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just Rei and Kenny, since they were both fairly quiet, but Tyson and Max were another story.
"Stuck?!?" Tyson wailed before flopping back in his seat. "For how long? Do you think there's a pizza joint that would deliver all the way out here? I'm starving!"
"I don't think that's very likely, Tyson," Kenny answered. "You probably don't even know where we are."
"Oh yeah... guess not..."
Kai rolled his eyes at Tyson, before looking down at Rei, who had only lifted his head from Kai's shoulder. The chinese teen looked up at Kai, a light blush over the bridge of his nose before he quickly sat back in his seat.
"Sorry," he quickly apologized but Kai just waved it off.
"Don't worry about it. Are you... uhh..." Kai paused. Even though he had opened up after the World Championships a couple of years back, he still wasn't entirely used to being considerate of his teammates. Sure he cared for them, but... he still had a hard time showing it, espeically when it came to Rei.
Rei smiled. "I'm okay."
"What about Zhen?"
"Zhen's okay too," Rei said, as they both looked down to the baby in his lap. Zhen carefully uncurled himself from against Rei's chest, and looked up at them both, blinking curiously, before looking down at his empty hands where his bottle had once been. His golden eyes then darted around, looking for the missing bottle. When he didn't see it anywhere, his eyes grew watery and he started to cry.
"What's wrong with him?" Kai asked, alarmed that the infant would start to cry so suddenly when he had seemed fine just a moment before.
"I'm not sure. Do you know where his bottle went?" Rei asked, as he hoisted the baby off his lap and held him against his chest, as he rubbed soothing circles on the baby's back to try and calm him down.
"Just a sec," Kai said, as he ignored the curious looks Tyson and Max were giving him, as he slid out of his seat and onto his hands and knees on the floor. He reached under the seat, feeling around for the bottle but not finding anything.
"Dammit," he muttered, before getting back into his seat. "I can't find it."
"Can't find what?" Tyson asked, as he grinned at his captain, then held up the bottle triumphingly. "This?"
"Gimme that!" Kai snapped, grabbing the bottle from Tyson's hand then wiping it off on his shirt before gently tapping Zhen's shoulder to get the baby's attention. Zhen lifted his head off Rei's shoulder, then smiled before squealing and taking the bottle from Kai to start drinking from again.
"Thanks Kai," Rei said, as he settled the baby back down onto his lap.
"Kai?!? I'm the one who found it!" Tyson retorted, before pouting as he turned in his seat to rest his chin on his hands. "Look at that kid... drinking from his bottle... he's so lucky. Wish I had food..."
Rei chuckled warmly. "Don't even try it, Tyson. Zhen's not about to sha~," he stopped when a shrill ring sounded from his bag coming from his cell phone.
"Excuse me, guys," He said as he opened his bag, digging through all the baby supplies to take his phone out and turn it on.
::Hello?::
//Hey Rei!//
::Lei! Oh, hi!::
//Am I interrupting something?//
::Not unless you count being stuck in a traffic jam something.::
//Really? Well that isn't good... so you made it to Japan alright?//
::Yeah. Zhen slept for most of the flight and ate for the rest of it.::
//That sounds just like him.//
::Yep, and the rest of the team met me at the airport too.::
//Just like I told you they would.//
::There's no need to rub that in, Lei.::
//I know, I know. So, did you tell him yet?//
::Tell who what?::
//Kai... abou~//
::No! Well, not yet.::
//Well, what are you waiting for?//
::This really isn't a good time for that, Lei.::
//Well, you'd better tell him soon or else I will.//
::But Lei...!::
//Don't but Lei me! He deserves to know, Rei and if you can't tell him, then I will.//
::Okay... I'll tell him later. When we get to the hotel and the others aren't around.::
//Fine. I'll call tomorrow to check up on you and if you haven't told him, then I'm gonna catch the first flight down there, do you hear me?//
::Yes....::
//Good, so I'll talk to you later?//
::Mhmm... bye Lei.::
//Bye Rei.//
Rei sighed softly as he turned his phone off then dropped it back into his bag. Ever since he had found out that he was carrying a baby, Lei had been nagging him to tell Kai about it and Rei knew that he should but... it was just so hard! Kai wasn't aware of the differences between humans and neko- jins and how males were able to reproduce. How would he react if he were to find out? He'd probably think that Rei was a freak, and that's what the chinese boy was most worried about. It was bad enough that one night that they had shared at been a mistake but to find out that something was created because of it... Rei just didn't know what to do.
He had to tell him, but how?
Kai was silent as he watched the neko-jin out of the corner of his eye. He had seen how Rei's expression only got sadder as he spoke to Lei, but he couldn't determine why since the side of the conversation that he could hear didn't say too much. Something was wrong though...
*Rei isn't the type to look so upset over something so it has to be something big. But what? Zhen was mentioned so maybe... maybe it has something to do with Zhen's mother? Weird. I never really pictured Rei as the type of guy to knock a girl up. It better not be that damn Mariah. She doesn't deserve a guy like Rei. No one does. No one bu~*
"Yay! We're moving again!" Max cheered, interrupting Kai's thoughts and causing Tyson to cheer along as the van started up again and headed towards their hotel in downtown Kyoto...
