"Sano! How's Kaoru? When is she coming back? We really miss her sexy body and goddess smile!" A crew named Cole from DARK-side said.

"You got it! Jou-chan is absolutely SEXY now. Round tummy yet still in her goddess figure. She'll be back soon, probably months later. Oh shit!" Sano said loudly forgotten that no one knows Kaoru current situation.

"What! Round tummy? Oh god! Is she pregnant with that zillionaire dude? Can't imagine. Do they still engaged in bed activities? Kidding. Chill man!" Cole said while raising both his hands up when Sano glared at him.

Soon everyone at the DARK-side knew of Kaoru situation and was eager to see her. They have heard of Kaoru unstable marriage with Shougo Amakusa and was wondering how she was now. They cared for her like a younger sister.

"Hey! Sano! Your phone! Seems like an emergency!" Cole said as he was the one who picked up the phone.

"Thanks buddy! What! I'll be right there! Please make sure both are fine. I'm on my way now!" Sano replied to the phone.

With that said he took a sudden day leave and left everything with the crews, not noticing a limo stopping at the side. Everyone knew that Sano was going to become a father in days and was all happy for him. They saw his wife before and never thought that she would be another goddess next to Kaoru. Not forgetting she is also a well-known doctor. It was after some time that they happen to find out that Kaoru and Sano's wife are cousins. To that, they believe that beauty lies in their blood.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amakusa Shougo stepped into DARK-side. Everyone in the bar house put their eyes on him instantly. His aura was dark and intimidating. Even the crews were afraid of going near him. It was always either Kaoru or Sano who got him his drink whenever he visits.

AMAKUSA'S POV

'Where did that bar-tender went to? I saw him rushed out in a hurry. Did something happen to Kaoru? Now, where are the damn crews? (Relax please. You aren't going to find any thing with your pathetic attitude.) Shut-up!

"Hey you, over there. Come over here now." Ango called for the nearest crew.

"Yes? Can I have your order?" The crew asked nervously.

"Where is Sagara Sanosuke? Ask him out here now." Ango said deadly.

"Sorry, Sano went off immediately after receiving a phone call. His wife is in labour." The crew replied timidly.

This was the time Amakusa opened up his mouth and talked. The crew was even more nervous. He was asked to sit in front of him.

"Have you heard of Kaoru Shougo recently from that rooster head? Give me false information and I'll have your head rolling in seconds." Amakusa said.

"Are you saying about Kamiya Kaoru? No. We had not heard about her for a long time. Sano didn't say anything to us whenever we asked."

Knowing he was lying, Amakusa grabbed his jaw and slammed down onto the table and said, "Don't even think of lying in front of me. Now, where is she? And for your information, she is Shougo Kaoru. Get that into your cracked head. Now tell me before I do something to your precious girlfriend and only mother."

"You bastard! It is good that Kaoru left you!"

With that said, Amakusa punched him hard that caused him to split blood.

"Very well. I guess all my men will enjoy your girlfriend and mother physically." Amakusa whispered into the crew's ear.

"Stop! Don't do that! Please! I beg you! I'll tell you everything you want to know. Just leave my family alone! Sano had slipped his lips saying about Kaoru today when we asked him how is she doing now. Kaoru is pregnant and from Sano, we learn that she is about seven months pregnant already. She will be back soon but not sure when. That is all Sano said to us. He didn't say where she is living. Just told us she is pregnant. That is all I know, everyone here knows."

Amakusa was shocked when he heard that Kaoru was pregnant and the man he was holding against the table was not lying when he looked into his determined eyes. Immediately letting off his hands, he strode out of DARK-side and left in his limo.

AMAKUSA'S POV

'Pregnant? Seven months? That will be the time when we made love during Sayo's engagement party. That night. So, that is my baby. She knew she was pregnant all the way and didn't tell me? Even that doctor of her's kept it from me? (Don't forget. Where were you when she was in the hospital? What did you said to her that day when you saw her? You told her that you were bedding with a woman.) Shut up! Damn it! I need to find her now! That baby is mine! She is mine! Where is she! (Ask your baby sister or you can visit the hospital…) Hospital… That cousin of Kaoru's.

"Prepare the car Ango. To Crossford Medical Hospital now." Said Amakusa.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Relax Sano… She'll be fine…" Kaoru said as she sat next to him.

"I can't help it! I'm going to be a father tonight jou-chan!" Sano said nervously.

All went into silence for the awaiting of the new addition to their big family. Half an hour later, a loud crying sound was heard. Everyone stood up from their seats and went to the door. In minutes, a nurse came out with a small body wrapped in her arms.

"Who is the father? Your baby daughter would like to meet you." Asked the nurse.

"I…I am… How is my wife?" Sano asked nervously.

"Not to worry. Both mother and child are fine. They need to rest." The nurse replied.

All of them crowed around the baby girl who was soundly asleep in her father's arms. She was definitely going to have the looks of both her charming looking parents. Just when the nurse was about to take the baby from Sano, everyone heard him said, "Have a good sleep, my sweet Natsumi Kao Sagara."

"Don't look at me that way! That was name Megumi wanted! I like too! So, don't give me those looks!" Sano exclaimed when he saw that everyone was surprised that the baby girl that loved instantly on first sight had two names and the middle was one that represents Kaoru.

"We like it too! Chill man! You are a father now!" Misao said as she smacked his back head and laughed with everyone.

Meanwhile, Kaoru was having seconds thought about her baby within her. At first, she felt that a baby without a father will not be healthy but seeing the warmth from everyone, that though was vanished. No one noticed her hand touching her tummy except one man who stood beside her.

"See… I told you... you have nothing to worry about… Well... except your figure though…" Battousai said and smirked when Kaoru pouted her lips and stared angrily at him.

All these while, there was another presence in the corner. He had witness the affectionate behavior within all especially between Kaoru and Battousai. The moment he saw Kaoru, the heaviness from his heart was halved. She had regained her chirpiness but what made his heart glow was her swollen stomach.

Amakusa's POV

That's my flesh and blood in my beloved body… (Are you missing something? She is not yours currently) She's mine! Seven months pregnant… Where have she been staying and eating all these while? I'm gong to get her back today. (Sure.. if you can…) What do you mean? (Opps! Did I say anything?).

"Kaoru", Amakusa said in a low yet soft tone.

All of them turned to the voice and was shocked. First though on their mind was to hide Kaoru and the other was 'how did he know that they are here at this time'. A gasp was heard and instantly, they knew it was from Kaoru.

Kaoru's POV

Why do I have to see him again? Why does he have to see me in this state? I don't want him to know I'm pregnant! Someone... Please...help me… I'm still in love with him... Why is all this happening? Why can't he leave me alone and go to his woman!

Battousai went to hold onto her immediately, having a feeling that she's falling. His anger was rising when he saw Kaoru's husband shown up. He was not going to give Kaoru up to a man who does not cherish her as much as his dead brother or him. What shocked him were Kaoru's tears on his neck when he hugged her form to prevent her from looking at Amakusa. The next was a unconscious Kaoru.

Amakusa had a heart stop when he saw a almost fallen Kaoru but the fire within burned when someone he dislike held her like she was his. His anger was taking over but in his mind, he knew that Kaoru was on his first priority.

"Get your hands off my wife." Amakusa said in a deadly voice.

"And why should I when I was the one who showered her with what a pregnant woman needed during her most difficult times?" Battousai replied with equally deadness.

"So, you are the one who took her without my permission. All of you leave my wife alone." Amakusa said.

"Brother…where are you when Kaoru was in a unseen state? Have you seen her that worse before? Have you seen her now? She is getting better and having a baby. Please do not cause her any sadness now…" Sayo said silently.

"That's because all of you hid her up and leave me with no chance to be with her!" Amakusa said angrily and strode towards Battousai.

Dark auras were forming between both the man. Just for the luck, a doctor passed by and saw a unconscious Kaoru.

"Both of you stop this instant. This is a hospital. Now, who is the husband? We need to get this lady a room and a overall check immediately. The husband, please do the necessary admission procedure. As for the rest, please leave the hospital. Visiting hours are over. Thank you."

"Now, who is the lawful husband, Battousai?" Amakusa said and carried Kaoru to the doctor's direction.

"I guess there is nothing we can do. Kaoru needs to be check. We'll come back tomorrow in case." Aoshi interrupted to cool Battousai down.

"Wait for me, Kaoru- koishii…" Battousai's last thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amakusa was looking and touching Kaoru smooth face as she lay asleep on the bed. He felt a relief when her check was announced normal and good in health. To take the chance, he went to touch on Kaoru's tummy. Is was as if the baby knew he was the father and gave a kick back. Amakusa's heart was filled with a warm. A warm he felt when his parents was still alive. But there was one ting that he didn't know, the sex of the baby.

Just then, Kaoru breathing was getting lighter. In minutes, she was awake and shocked.

"What are you doing here? Get out! I don't want to see your face or even breathing the same air with you!" Kaoru shouted in anger and tears.

"Stop it! Please… It's not good for your health Kao…"Amakusa said with love as he hugged the trembling Kaoru.

"Don't touch me! You are dirty! I don't want to see you… don't want to see you…" Kaoru cried as she turned her body away from him.

"You can't do this to me… Baby... Please… I'm clean ever since the day you left me… " Amakusa said as he went on to the bed and carried Kaoru's form and cradled in him.

"You are lying! Lying!" And she cried herself to sleep in his warm arms.

Hours passed and Kaoru was awake while Amakusa was still in his sleep. She looked at his face and found out he had aged a lot but still was charming. She lifted her fingers and traced the contours of his face. There was one thing she couldn't deny, she's still in loved with him all these while but that doesn't prove anything…

Amakusa who was only closing his eyes felt her fingers but did not wanted to stop her. He opened his eyes when Kaoru lay back against his body to sleep again.

'I've found you at last, Kao….' Amakusa thought and finally deciding to take a rest with Kaoru.
