Chapter 3
On Saturday evening, Tezuka and Fuji was about to left the house for the reunion party. Fuji was dressing Mio with a cute baby outfit he just bought for her, telling her how cute she was and how everyone would be staring at her in awe. Mio laughed, showing her toothless mouth, staring at Fuji's happy face with her big brown eyes. Tezuka shook his head with a slight smile.
"Come on, Shuu. We're going to be late." Tezuka said, opening the front door.
Fuji followed him from behind, carrying Mio. "Hai. Let's go."
Tezuka started the car and then they left the house.

Almost all of the ex- Seigaku regulars had gathered on sushi restaurant owned by Taka. Few minutes later, Tezuka's car arrived on the restaurant's parking lot.
"Oi, look," Momoshiro peeked through the window," it's Tezuka-buchou and Fuji-senpai!"
Eiji quickly went out to greet them, followed by everyone. "Hoi,hoi, Fuji, Tezuka! You're late, nya!" He waved his hand at them.
Fuji exited the car first, followed by Tezuka. The others widened their eyes when they saw Fuji was holding a cute –and- fashionable baby.
"Hoi Fuji, who's this baby? Is it your sister's?" asked Eiji.
Suddenly everyone was asking him and Tezuka who's this baby, what's her name, and commenting how cute she is. Fuji didn't answer. He only smiled, and told them he would explain it after they got inside.

Taka's assistant served the sushi and many variants of food on the table. They started eating after Taka joined them from the kitchen.
"So, Fuji, Tezuka," Inui asked after sipping his tea," who's this baby?"
Tezuka calmly put a sushi roll to his mouth, thinking a deep thought whether he or Fuji should answer. He decide to let Fuji did all of the talking.
"She's Tezuka Mio. Our baby." He smiled.
Eiji, Ooishi, Momo, Kaidoh, and Taka choked their food.
Tezuka gritted his teeth. "Wrong decision."
Inui, who still had his precious notebook on his hand, scribbled with glinting eyes. "Ii data. Fuji and Tezuka had found a formula that can make male pregnant…"
"Minna!" Tezuka raised his voice. He won't let Fuji enjoy this any further. "We adopt her."
Fuji smiled, with a slight disappointment because he's losing this game with Tezuka. "Aa. You guys didn't let me explained first. We found her on the way home. She was abandoned in a trash bin. Her parents are cruel, ne?" Fuji touched her pale cheek.
"Hontou? Poor baby." Ooishi bent his head to look at Mio closer.
Eiji slowly approached him. "Ne Fuji, can I…hold her?"
"Sure." Fuji gave her to Eiji. Mio seemed to like Eiji. She laughed when Eiji and Momo made a silly face. Mio sure was attracting attentions from those men.
Tezuka and Fuji watched from their seats, smiling. Then, Ooishi sat across Tezuka and Fuji.
"Congratulation." Ooishi said with a wide smile.
The couple smiled in return.
"Na, Tezuka, Fuji. Have you think about this? I mean, being parents is difficult." Ooishi asked with concern.
The couple looked at each other.
Fuji looked down. "…We had talked about it. And we did this after a deep thought. I want to make her happy.." He felt uncertain for a while. Can they really make her happy?
Suddenly, Tezuka grabbed Fuji's hand, for encouragement. "I believe that Mio is a gift from God. And it's our fate. We'll do the best for her."
Ooishi nodded with a smile. "Then, good luck. We'll be with you all the way."
Tezuka and Fuji smiled. "Arigatou, Ooishi." Tezuka said.

The party went on until night. With a new member of the team, who is Mio, they had more fun than ever. Especially when Mio had to change diaper. Eiji told Momo, Ryoma and Kaidoh to do it, and if they refuse, a Inui New Fresh Mixed Vegetable Juice was waiting in a thermos.
Not long after they feed her, Mio fell asleep. And the party ended. They went home, after promising a next reunion party and to keep in touch with each other.
In Tezuka & Fuji's car…
Mio was sleeping peacefully in Fuji's lap. Fuji studied her, still couldn't erase the smile on his lips.
"It's funny how she acted like you, Mitsu. She rarely cried nor complained."
Tezuka turned his head at him and stroked his hair, with a little smile. Fuji leaned to his touch. "Keep your eyes on the road, Mitsu. Don't want to crash our baby." Fuji teased.
"Hai, hai." Tezuka kept his eyes on the road again, with his right hand on the steering wheel and his left on Fuji's hand.

Few minutes later, they arrived home. They went straight to the bedroom, to put Mio in bed. Then the couple went downstairs. Fuji made a tea for him and Tezuka, while Tezuka waited in the study room, finishing some of his work.
Fuji entered the room, with a tray of cups in his hands.
"Arigatou." Said Tezuka as Fuji gave him a cup of tea.
Fuji sat across his work table. "Today was good, ne? I was really happy, and I'm sure Mio was happy too, meeting new uncles."
"Aa. Me too." Tezuka stopped his work and sipped his tea.
"Ne, Mitsu. I've been thinking about what Ooishi said. Do you think we can make her happy?" Tezuka fell quiet for a moment.
"Shuu," Tezuka leaned forward and touched his love's cheek," as I've said before, I believe that this is our fate. We don't know what the future will be. But we have to try and be optimistic. So, don't worry."
"Mitsu…" Fuji touched Tezuka's hand.
Tezuka stood up. "Ja, let's sleep now." He offered a hand to Fuji, which he gladly received. But Fuji suddenly jumped to hug Tezuka tightly.
"Koi, you're so cool!" Fuji planted kisses all over Tezuka's face.
"Sh..Shuu..umph!" Fuji cut him with a deep kiss on the lips.
And the night went on…
