~Chapter 23~

A week later, Misaki's stay at the Raven castle was fun. Presently Misaki is having tea with her best friend Lydia and her new friend which was another Earl's wife named Esther apparently she's a daughter of a Marquis.

As the three ladies having tea Lydia's twin boys are playing at the old tree house that was maintained by the gardener.

"I can't believe that old thing is still standing" giggled Lydia.

"Well, mother had said that the three boys are very sentimental and sometimes go there to hide and rest" Misaki snorted. "Esther, you had been awfully quite, do you have something to tell us?" Misaki added.

"How'd you announce to your husbands your having a baby?" she hesitantly asked.

"OHH MY GOOODNESS!" the ladies burst.

"Are you?" again they both asked.

"Yes a week long" poor Esther blushed.

As the ladies then agreed to some things since Misaki is going through pregnancy and so does Esther, they decided to keep in touch as they go through the pregnancy.

"What is all this commotion about?" asked by the older woman who greeted them.

"Nothing much mother" replied Misaki and told her about Esther, and as expected she was happy about it too, deciding that later that afternoon to have a small barbecue since she missed Japan and asked her husband to prepare it since he was there accompanying her.

Yuu however thought getting the boys some light beer since it was a big celebration for Leon to be a father.

As the ladies talked on how will Esther announce they saw Scott chasing Aoi on the corridor, "Aoi, I'm sorry, I promised that I'll spend my day off with you" he pleaded, the guards looking at them was really amused seeing their most terror official pleading on a beautiful lady with raven long hair.

"Yes you did and your breaking it!" still walking.

Scott grabbed and carried him like a sack.

"That's it I'm taking you with me, and that still counts" Scott pressed and this time shifted the smaller man in a ladies dress to a bridal style.

"Was that Scotty boy?" asked Esther.

"Misaki, was that you cross dressing secretary?" asked Lydia.

"Does my son even know Aoi's a guy?" and added by Patricia.

"Yes, yes and yes" Misaki answered it all.

"Relationship?" Patricia pressed.

"Dating"

And the three ladies were shocked.

"At least Aoi loves my son" Patricia shrugged it off "I support them" she giggled.

"Wow, you're very supportive Aunt Patty" said Esther.

"Well, either you twist or turn the world I will be his mother and where he finds happiness in any way as possible I will be ther to support and cheer on him, that's what mothers are, dear" she advised.

"Aoi and Scotty are sweet as ever" laughed by Yuu who came back.

"You knew?!" pointed by Patricia.

"I thought you knew either?" Yuu asked.

"I never!" she burst.

"Oh well, at least we know now" laughed by Misaki.

Meanwhile at Usui's own study, two blonde men sat opposite of his classic office table, "I trust both of you that's why I asked both of you" Usui said.

"I agree, with you many in the parliament are weeds that needed to be pulled" agreed by Edgar.

"So does in my department" Leon sipped his tea.

"List them all, I'll as Scott to do the checking" said Usui.

"I already asked raven to do that just in case" handing him a thick folder.

"I'll just follow up and give mine tomorrow, I'll ask Noah to list them all" said by Leon.

"I might be a Japanese citizen but I'm still a native of this country and I don't want my family and close family friends to be tainted with those who seek power" Usui said seriously.

"Likewise my friend" said by the two men.

"Any idea on how to expose them and capture them clean?"

"Well, Scott told me last night about a certain law" Usui added, "Those officials caught red handed by the authorities will be stripped off right?"

"Indeed" Leon agreed.

"Well, let's expose them to their environment then?" Usui said.

"And how are we gonna do that?" both asked.

"Scott is on his way to his best friend the crown prince" he smirked.

"He'll tell things, besides we already started in Japan, and now the strong hold is weakening"

"Who's idea is that, I mean a secret cleanup crew inside the officials?" Leon intrigue.

"My wife, however she doesn't know how exactly I operate" he snorted.

"You're one sly man" Edgar shook his head.

"She'll kill me if she know I shoot those people who's trying to kill her" he sighed.

"How are you pulling these things in Japan?" they asked.

"I have some Yakuza friends assisting"

"you play dirty" the men laughed.

"Anyway we should head back to our women, we might making them wait" said Leon.

"So how's the married life?" asked Edgar to the two men.

As they talked a bit they reached the garden finding their wives eating with Patricia and Yuu, while the twins are now at the lake and tree house playing.

Esther then Pulled Leon to sit on her chair and blind folded him.

"What is all of this?" asked by Usui kissing Misaki from behind and placing his palm to her lower abdomen where the bump is.

"A surprise!" she giggled.

"And you seemed to be enjoying?" he quizzed.

"Well, you'll see why in a moment"

"Here" Esther handed Leon a Nutella jar full of its contents, handing him a spoon.

"Alright, shall, I guess the food or the flavor?" he asked.

"The food" the ladies said.

As he taste it, "Uhm.. chocolate?"

"Right…" the ladies gigged after Esther replied.

"Nest one" handing him a jar of peanut butter.

"Peanut butter?"

"Uh-huh"

The next one was blueberry jam.

"Uh… jam?"

"Yes, close enough, it's blueberry.

Handing him the last one it was a banana flavored pure food on a jar.

"Hm… I like this one… I think I'm finishing this" he said and they laughed.

"Guess it?"

"Hmm… it taste like banana pure…" he said.

"Who eats those kind of things?" she asked.

"Lets se… uh… babies?" as he continued to eat spoon full.

"And?" she giggled as Leon stopped eating leaving the spoon on midway.

"You're joking?" grinning and Esther removing the blindfold.

She giggled, "AHAHAH!" and he carried her around.

"Congrats soon to be daddy!" cheered by the ladies.

"How long?!"

"A week" and she hugged him back.

"No wonder we're having barbecue" Edgar added.

"Nothing beats backyard grilling" Usui said.

"I got light beer for the occasion" said by Yuu handing the boys bottles.

As the family were having fun, the tour guide with its tourists talked to the old Duke with some questions as he walked going to the garden seeing his family celebrating something, the tourists took many photos of the place including the family.

Scotty walked angrily on the corridor with huge stomps ignoring the greetings, wearing his military and armed clad, bear shaved and had his clean cut, Aoi chased after him.

"That is why I don't want to bring you there!" he grumbled.

"Give me a break, I just greeted him and befriends with you best friend what's wrong with that?!" Aoi retorted.

"Didn't you see he was openly flirting with you 'in front of me?!' and you even replied back!" pounding his way to the lobby to head to his study and lock himself up.

"Uh-oh… lovers quarrel" laughed by the old man.

He's loyal butler chuckled, "they're all sweet and next thing you know they'll be yelling" he replied.

"Flirting?!" Aoi retorted.

"You know what, just go with him and leave me alone!" and he ran up to his study taking off his jacket shoving it to Cedric who happened to pass by with Gerard.

"What just happened?" he asked his grandfather.

"Lover's quarrel" he chuckled.

"They're dating?!" Cedric and Gerard burst.

"For a military man like you, you didn't notice" and he walked off with his own guests.

"Augh!" burst by Aoi to Misaki.

"Chill, bestie~" Misaki tried to calm him.

"How can I chill when he suddenly ran off like that?!" crossing his arms.

"By the way Aoi love the new dress" Patricia complimented.

"Thank you, Scotty bunch chose this" and after mentioning his name he pouted, Misaki bit her bottom lip out of amusement seeing her pressy best friend on a pinch to cry.

"Ahem" Misaki cleared her throat, "Why'd you fight?" she asked.

"He got angry when I talked to the prince"

"I see, however, didn't you see his rage? That was a high level jealousy" Misaki added.

"Why would he be jealous when I just thanked the price for the compliment?"

"Well, in men's point of you we're very protective with our mate, you might not notice it but you got used to being female all the time that's why you didn't notice" Usui chuckled.

"You know, you should talk to him calmly" they advised and he walked to his boyfriend's study hesitantly.

~EXTRA~

(A/N: Let's give Aoi his own love story shall we? /I hope you'll support me on this/ *Cries*)

Meanwhile, Scott removed his inner shirt and roamed on his office half naked.

Reading the files that Usui left to his table he started to go through it with sour attitude.

A creek on his door was heard when Aoi slowly stepped in like a scared sheep.

"I told you to go away" he growled.

Aoi attacked him with a hug, "I'm sorry!" he cried, still he ignored, but after feeling his toned abdomen a bit wet, he closed his eyes in agony and lifted Aoi's chin and kissed him.

"Just always remember your mine please, I dislike you talking to other men other than me of my family members" lifting him on the table to sit and started to kiss him again.

"You really like to bite lips do you?" Aoi said as he sobbed.

"Only when it's your though" and he continued Aoi liked his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"Scott, you got company and as promised I took care of everything" the door suddenly flung open and when Gerard laid eyes on his brother half naked and trapping Aoi on the table he almost shouted.

There seemed to be some people behind him when Scott cleared his throat, "Aoi please excuse me for a moment" caressing his chin.

Poor Gerard retreated running for his life while Scott took his gun out and started to follow.

The people who followed Gerard never knew Aoi was a guy since he already disappeared after Scott left.
