Chapter 12
Winding Road and Tangled Web
"You think we should tell them?" He asked the beauty that lay next to him.
"Hm, let's just keep this our little secret for now. I'm not fond of being teased by those two right now." she giggled.
"Yeah, he would never let me hear the end of it." He smirked then allowed his lips to make their way down her neck.
"Mo Yuki! Stop that, we have to get ready for work." She pushed him away and headed for the bathroom for her shower.
"I'll make breakfast." He sighed then rolled off the bed and grabbed his boxers.
"Marshall-san?" Kyoko and Kuon looked up from where they were sitting in the comfortably decorated brightly lit waiting room. "This way."
"Um, is it okay if he comes with me?" She asked nervously. This would be the visit where they would get to see their little family and find out just exactly when it all took place; although, she had a very good idea about that. She blushed fiercely just thinking about that lust and passion filled 12 hour romp after her concert in Los Angeles.
"You okay babe?" He whispered as they followed the nurse.
"Mmm, just thinking about LA." She smirked knowing it would get a response from him and she was correct as she watched his ears turn a little red. She gave him a peck on the cheek as they entered the room where the ultrasound would be performed.
"I just need you to jump right up here and unbutton your jeans so the technician can take a few pictures Marshall-san, then the doctor will be in to see you." Announced the crisply dressed, well rounded woman with a smile and kind eyes as she patted on the examination table. Kyoko did as she was told and Kuon took her hand as he sat next to her on a chair he had pulled up.
"Hmm...Well, this is wonderful. See?" The technician told the couple as he turned the monitor toward the young couple to show their little family. "We've got the measurements and very strong heart beats. I'll just print up a few photos for the baby book and the doctor will be in shortly. Don't get fastened up yet though, he'll want to take a look for himself. Okay?" Kyoko nodded in agreement, unable to speak after what she and Kuon had just been shown. It was truly overwhelming.
Minutes later the doctor entered to view the little spectacle on the monitor himself with an excited grin on his face. This was his very first multiples case and he was honored that the famous couple had entrusted their new family to him.
"Well, as you can see you have a set of identical twins with a little spare over here and it looks like you are about three and a half months along." He pointed to each little miracle. "Now, even though there are no problems right now, it will still be considered as a high-risk pregnancy. Which means you are going to have to be very careful from here on out. We want these little guys to be as close to full term as we can get. That means no unnecessary stress, a good diet, your vitamins, no medications without my approval, no unnecessary travel and do not overexert yourself. Any questions?"
"Umm," She started in a small voice trying to ask her question delicately.
He smiled, "No, you don't have to stop doing that yet. You can still be pregnant and have a healthy sex life." He laughed. Kuon went into a coughing fit, then cleared his throat. Kyoko was now a nice shade of crimson red, there were still some things that she didn't like to discuss with strangers.
When she finished straightening her clothing, Kuon wrapped his arms around his lovely little Queen and happily spun her with a dazzling smile plastered to his face. He steadied her on her feet and hugged her, "Mine." He whispered into her ear with a smile. He placed his hand gently over his children and whispered, "Mine." She placed her hand over his and glanced up at him through her long dark eyelashes and whispered with a smile, "Ours." then pulled him in for a long, sweet, gentle kiss. They gathered her things then left to prepare for their dinner and news that they would share with their two best friends.
"Moko-san?" Kyoko whispered across the table. Kanae was speechless, Yashiro was passed out on the floor from fainting and Kuon was laughing at the stunned couple. One baby was news, even two, but three? That news was like finding out that Christmas would be held every day from here on out!
Kanae leapt to Yuki's side to revive him. "Mo! Yuki! Snap out of it you're making a scene!"
Kuon and Kyoko snapped a look at each other in shock with Kyoko asking the question first. "Moko-san... When did you start calling Yashiro-san, Yuki?" She asked with a sly look in a lilting tone.
Kanae looked up from her position next to Yuki at Kyoko like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car. "Um, about that." She started sheepishly, "We've been dating for about a year now." She explained as she pulled the long chain from her blouse that hung around her neck and brandished the little gold and diamond bauble that it contained. Kuon and Kyoko's jaws dropped. That was very unexpected news. Kyoko thought Kanae was with Hiou-kun, but it was just a smokescreen to throw off The King of Love. Kanae was glad to finally be able to discuss that now, discussing it at LME was too much of a risk.
Once Yuki had been revived and they had returned to their seats, it was time for Kyoko to lord her friendship with Kanae over her as Kanae had done to her so many times in the past.
"I thought we were best friends Kotonami-san." She huffed in falsely in a hurt tone. Now it was time for payback, she smiled inwardly as she watched the couple squirm. "And you couldn't even tell me this." She pouted calling forth a little bit of Setsuka-chan. For a moment Kuon could almost feel Cain stalking in the background and draped his arm behind her as he slouched in his seat a little with a sly smirk on his lips and the sudden overwhelming craving for a cigarette and shot of whiskey.
"Mo, Roxy! I'm sorry. I was going to tell you, then everything got all crazy and we just kind of forgot. We kinda kept the Hiou-kun thing going because he has a thing for Maria-chan and she didn't want her grandfather finding out and ruining it. I'm so. so. Sorry." Kanae plead with her.
"Meh, it's okay Moko-san. I forgive you." She smiled. "I could never be mad at you." She giggled. Kanae sighed with relief.
Dinner proceeded with talk of future, family, jobs and finally weddings. "I guess we will be having the wedding here. We should tell Takarada-san tomorrow." Kyoko mused out loud. "The doctor says I shouldn't do any unnecessary traveling. So, it looks like we'll be staying here for a little while. We are going to have to have it very soon though, I'm already starting to show a little. I guess that's because there's three."
It started in the elevator after dinner. Her scent was intoxicating and was clouding his mind. He just couldn't help himself, he wanted to put his mouth all over her. Run his tongue up and down her beautiful pregnant body and taste every square inch of her. "Kuon, not here." She scolded as he nibbled on her deliciously elegant neck, his hot breath caressing her ear and sending chills up her spine. "Plus... We... Haven't... Ugh... Called our... Parents." He breathed in her scent again and gave a low growl. She smells so damn good.
DING...
"Alright.." He sighed, "But I get to make up for it later." He told her before nibbling on her plump lower lip.
