Misa's eighth month of pregnancy was fast approaching, and her own excitement and Light's were climbing by the day. The day of both of them meeting their daughter was getting closer by the day, and it was an exciting time in their lives. Unbeknownst to them, the day was about to get even more exciting.

It started out like any other morning. Light made his wife breakfast, and checked in with his father about the investigation. No new leads had turned up, which was a relief to them both. Light had feared- not unjustly- that the preparations for the baby might have been throwing him off of his game. Mercifully, that was not the case. Somehow, his double life as Kira was still going strong. The difference today, however, was that Chief Yagami asked his daughter-in-law and his son over to his home that afternoon. He wouldn't be home, but Sachiko and Sayu had wanted to see them- or so he said. Upon asking Misa if she felt well enough to go out, she nodded happily, and that was that.

They headed out just before lunch, intending for this to be a short visit, and were surprised when Sayu opened the door and dragged them both inside. Upon entering the living room, they found Sachiko, Sayu, Nori, and several of Misa's other friends all there.

"Surprise!" They all shouted.

Misa felt her eyes welling up with tears as she looked around. The room was decorated in pink for a baby shower- her baby shower. She hugged her sister and mother-in-law, and was passed around to every set of arms in the room. The exclamations from everyone were the same.

"You look great!"

"You're glowing!"

"I've never seen you look so happy!"

Light stood in the doorway, smiling. It made him happy to see his bride so happy. He went over to his mother.

"I'm guessing you had this planned for a while?"

"Myself and your sister were preparing for this from the time you announced the baby was a girl." Sachiko smiled.

Light chuckled softly. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Because you know your sister loves a good party and how much I enjoy planning them."

"That's True." Light smiled.

He watched Misa light up as she spoke with Nori and a few of her other friends. She was always the brightest one in the room. That never changed. Smiling, he looked back at his mother.

"Do you need me to do anything? Would you rather I leave?"

"Of course not. You're welcome to stay. This party is as much a celebration for you as it is Misa. And you don't have to worry about anything, your sister and I have it all taken care of. You just relax and be with your wife, alright?"

Light smiled and gave his mother a small hug. "Thanks mom."

"You're welcome."

The party began with lunch. True to theme, all the foods served had the word "baby" in front of them. Baby carrots, a salad of baby lettuce and baby spinach, baby back ribs, and more. Misa couldn't get enough of the ribs, and Light couldn't help smiling at the sight. When they all finished eating, it was time for games. They had a "make your own baby food" contest that made some truly shocking flavor combinations, and a few that were very good. Nori won that one with a combination of berries and mango. Misa teased her lightly about her job preparing her for that, to which Nori let out a chuckle. It was true. Next, they timed who could change the diaper on a baby doll the fastest, and to everyone's surprise Light actually took the round for that one. It surprised everyone but him. He'd volunteered to change Sayu a few times while she had been a baby and had hated the smell, so he'd learned to change a diaper quickly and effectively. Misa was happy with that. After that they'd gotten streamers and cut them, trying to see who could wrap it the closest around Misa's belly. It was Sachiko who won that one, only an inch off.

After that, it was time for cake and gifts. A cake chock full of strawberries, Misa's favorite, had been ordered for the occasion. Decorated in Pink frosting with white piping, it read "Welcome baby", and looked wonderful. Miss leaned into Light happily as she ate. She was so glad he was there. Finally, it was time for the gifts. The gifts cluttered the coffee table in brightly wrapped packaging, and she couldn't wait to open them. Much of what she received were packages of diapers, of course, but there were also clothes, toys, and even a bouncer for the baby. Misa let out squeals at some of the clothes and how adorable they were, and some of the toys too. The gift that meant the most to her, however, was a handmade pink blanket from her mother-in-law. She was certain the baby would sleep with it every night, and gave Sachiko a big hug in appreciation of the thoughtfulness of the gift.

When all was said and done, it was nearly dinner time. Many of Misa's friends said their goodbyes, before leaving. Nori too, eventually headed home, leaving Light and Misa with their family.

"Do you need any help cleaning up, Mom?" Light had asked.

"No, thank you dear. Why don't you and Misa head on home. I'm certain she must be tired by now."

One look at Misa said that that was definitely the case. Light smiled. "Sounds like a good idea." He hugged his mother and sister tightly. "Thank you both for doing all this. You made it a day to remember."

"Our pleasure!" Sayu chirped.

Misa hugged them both. "You made today so incredibly special for me and the baby. Thank you so much. This was a fantastic surprise."

"You're welcome, dear." Sachiko said softly, smiling.

With a few last murmured goodbyes, Misa and Light headed home smiling for the night.
