Chapter 1: Shuichi's Idea.
"Yuki…I've been thinking." Shuichi snuggled up to his lover, rubbing his cheek against the others chest.
"I didn't think you were capable of that…and whatever it is, I don't want to hear it brat, it's always disastrous when you think!" Yuki looked down at him amused.
"No…this is important. Yuki, we've been together for about five years almost, I've always wanted a child you know…"Shuichi sat up and looked at Yuki seriously.
"No. if you're thinking along the lines of that Arnold Shwarts sumthing actor in that Junior movie, I don't want to hear it!" Yuki looked at Shuichi horrified.
"Yuki! Don't be so gross! I don't want to get pregnant, though I never understood that movie. If a man got pregnant where would the baby grow? A guy doesn't have a uterus, and his other organs would get in the way…plus they can't operate can they? The poor baby would be dead and…" he got cut of as Yuki kissed him.
"Get to the point Baka!" Yuki smiled a rare smile at him. He looked so cute rambling like that!
"It's not that I don't like adoption…but I want the child to actually be one of ours, yours or mine it doesn't matter! I was thinking maybe if we found a surrogate mother…?" Shuichi looked hopefully up at Yuki. " I always wanted to be a dad and I sure don't regret our decision, but we don't have to be childless…"
Yuki studied Shuichi's hopeful upturned face. "Fine." He sighed. "If you really want it that badly… but how are you going have your child?"
"Yuki! I want it to be your child…not mine! Mine maybe later, if we wanted to have two!" Shuichi snuggled up to Yuki and kissed him. "Thank you."

"I think we've found someone for you. She's a college student, a young widow actually…and she needs the money desperately to get through college. She fits all your requirements perfectly. Here's a picture." The doctor passed a photograph to the two men. The woman had pretty green eyes and sand colored hair, cut to cheek length in the front falling to her waist at the back. She was smiling up at the camera, looking very cheerful and happy.
"Of course, if you're still not satisfied you can talk to her if you like; she studies at Tokyo University, about an hours drive from here. Her name is Yamakawa Aiko, she's studying psychology." The doctor looked at both the men.
"I think we should meet her. I want to know everything about anyone who might be giving birth to your child Yuki!" Shuichi looked at Yuki mutinously.
"Alright, I guess we could do that." Yuki looked at the doctor biting back the urge to call Shuichi 'brat' "then we'll get back to you doctor."

Aiko was sitting under, a sakura tree when they first spotted her, talking to one of her friends. She caught sight of them and excused herself, walking up to them.
"You must be Uesugi-san and Shindou-san. The doctor said you'd be dropping by. How may I help you?" she was very pretty up front, slim in jeans and a loose sweater.
"Hi. We just wanted to talk to you…to see if you would fit what we're looking for." Shuichi blurted, before he thought of what he was saying. "Um…I mean…no offense…"
She smiled at him. "It's ok. It's perfectly natural, Shindou-san. I'm not offended, but I will be if you don't sing me at least a paragraph of one of your songs! You're an amazing singer!"
"Ok! Call me Shuichi!" Shuichi smiled at her liking her a lot already. They walked up to one of the empty spots near a pretty lake and sat down. She assured them they wouldn't be overheard here.
"Okay, so I'll tell you the basics. I'm twenty. I was married to a man; an American to be precise called Tim. He needed to go back to America to take care of something, but he was killed in a plane crash. We were married for two years. It turned out that the matters he was going back to take care of concerned his trust fund…which had run dry. His family didn't accept me, so here I am with very little savings of my own, and I really need to get through just one more year of college…to be able to get a good job." She smiled a little sadly. "And I don't drink a lot…just in parties which I don't usually attend, I don't do drugs and I don't smoke! So anything else?"
Shuichi looked at her smiling face and felt really bad for her. She was too young for all this to happen to her. His hand had tightened on Yuki's when she had talked about the crash. "No I don't think so. I think you'll do fine. What do you think Yuki?"
Yuki looked at the girl up and down. "Are you sure you want to do this Yamakawa-san? You know I could help you out with your financial problems if you want…"
She looked at him directly, her face outwardly calm but a little hint of fire in her eyes. "No thank you Uesugi-san. I don't take charity. And well if I wasn't sure I wouldn't have applied. I'd be glad to carry a child for you guys!"
Shuichi looked at Yuki. He finally broke the gaze and nodded. "Fine then we'll let the doctor know and you can take it from there."
Shuichi let out a whoop of delight. "Um…Aiko-san, can you give me your number? We could be really good friends! I like you, so I expect to see a lot you from now on. It wont be like those TV serials where the mother goes away never to come back and no one has any contact with each other!"
Aiko smiled at him and gave him her number. Then she ran to her class, she was late she said. Yuki and Shuichi walked back, Shuichi a little broodier than usual.
