Alice Strife: So like this chapter was supposed to go after chapter two, but it didn't. I completely forgot or I didn't update it and updating a different chapter instead, so here is the REAL chapter two. The problem was that this is a big part in the story and then the chapter that was supposed to go here in a sort of sequel to this chapter so here you go! Enjoy! Thanks for reading!

? Kagami
Four Weeks Old

"Taiga, what on Earth are you doing?"

"What else would you be doing at a store Tetsuya? Buying things." Kagami answered tossing several objects into their basket.

"Do you even know what this does Taiga?" Kuroko asked holding up the last thing he threw in.

"No, but if it's the baby section then that must mean we'll need it down the road? Right?" Kagami reasoned.

"Do you remember what we're doing here Taiga? To go window shopping, look at the items, and see if this store offers registration so our friends can buy them later? Ringing any bells?"

"No need to wait that long, I have enough money to buy everything we need. Pro basketball player, remember?" Kagami turned back and winked, "now put that back in the cart." He said grabbing it back from him.

"We don't even know the sex of the baby yet and you're buying both girl and boy clothes; how does that make sense? I'm only a month pregnant Taiga; we have another eight months to do all this shopping. Where are we even going to put all this stuff?"

Kagami paused and blinked, "good point. I'll call up Aomine and Kise now and have them meet us back at our house to clear out the study. Wait, is that room even big enough? Maybe we should just move into a bigger home?"

Kuroko sighed, finally having enough. He grabbed Kagami's hand and, with all the strength a pregnant man could sum up, started tugging him away from their basket and over to the exit.

"Tetsuya?! What are you doing?! Our things!" Kagami yelled trying to reach back.

"We're leaving Taiga." Kuroko announced.

"We can't- Tetsuya what are you doing?!"

"Taiga, calm down and just listen to me. We're going to be okay."

Kagami froze as Kuroko turned around, gently placing his hands on his cheeks. There was a light smile on his face as he caressed his face lightly and said in a calming voice, "we're going to be just fine, so stop worrying so much. Just take a deep breath and calm down."

Kagami did just that, take a deep breath before exhaling out.

"Better?" Kuroko asked.

"Better." Kagami nodded.

"Good. Now come on, let's go meet up with our friends and inform them about the good news."

"But our things-"

"You are not the only professional basketball player Kagami, let our friends waste their money on us too."

Kagami chuckled a bit, wrapping his arms around Kuroko's waist to pull him in and place a sloppy kiss on his temple. The two of them started walking off before Kagami remembered something. All of a sudden he stopped walking, unwinding himself around Kuroko as he bent down on one knee and pulled out a ring. Kuroko stared, thinking this was all a joke.

"I know I'm not good a big romantic gestures, so I'm just going to come out and say it. Will you marry me Tetsuya?"

"Sure."

Kuroko wasn't big on romantic gestures either, although he did at least try to do them; most of the time Kagami was so dense and oblivious to them all that he stopped trying. Kagami stood up on his knee, grinning widely as he pulled Kuroko into a hug and kissed him right in the middle of the baby section.

"I'm curious though, if I wasn't pregnant would you have proposed to me?"

Kagami frowned, "of course. I've been thinking about for a while now, I had a plan and everything."

Kuroko raised an eyebrow, "really? What was it going to be?"

Kagami blushed lightly, "well I was either going to take you out to dinner or make you dinner. Either one, cooking seemed more romantic, but going out to a fancy restaurant seemed like the better choice. After a wonderful evening I was going to talk about how we first met, leading up to this moment and then finally bringing out the ring saying something like, 'you were always behind me as my shadow Tetsuya, but now I want you to walk beside me as my equal, my light, shadow, I didn't think that deep into it. It doesn't matter now, you said yes.

"Well that certainly sounds like you thought deeply about that, so hold on a minute. I want to hear the rest of the speech."

Kagami opened his mouth, but quickly closed it and sighed. "Well I was going to say, we've known each other for a long time Tetsuya, it seemed like a lifetime ago when you challenged me to a match. Back then I was such an arrogant guy, still am, though you've put a handle on it. I knew from the moment I first played you that we had this... connection between us and didn't know what to do about it until we won the Winter Cup together. It was the first moment I wanted to kiss you; I was so embarrassed it took me three months to finally work up the nerves to. And you acted so calmly, so normal that I thought I'd be rejected but then you showed your bright blush and that huge smile and I knew I loved you. These years together have been nothing but pure bliss and I can't help but wish I could have known you sooner so I can spend even more time with you. You were always beside me Tetsuya, even when our paths split you were always beside me in my heart. You were always behind me as my shadow Tetsuya, giving me your endless support, but now I want you to walk beside me instead of behind as my, as my husband. If you'd do me the honors, will you marry me? I promise to always put you first and foremost and always be there to protect you, in good times and bad. You mean so much more than me basketball, than everything else in the world, I love you."

After Kagami finished confessed, Kuroko's whole body seemed to be red. He was forcing down tears because to cry in a store would be embarrassing, how could he not after a speech like that though? Kagami smirked at his effect on the boy and Kuroko took a deep breath before sighing out lightly.

"Why didn't you confess to me like that even after finding out? I could have gone for romantic night out." Kuroko asked.

Kagami blinked, scratching his head, "I don't know really, I could have couldn't I?"

Kuroko sighed and shook his head lightly, "figures. That would have been much too romantic for you to do."

"HEY!"

"Come on Taiga, and in case you were wondering I would have cried at a confession like that and say yes. Anyway, here." Kuroko said holding his hand out.

Kagami smiled and placed the ring on, kissing Kuroko's hand before kissing his lips again.

"If you want we can forget this ever happened and I can try all over again." Kagami asked.

"No, this is fine. I like this, it's just so you."

"And what's that supposed to me?"

"That even though you're a basketball knucklehead, I still love you."

With one final kiss the two of them started walking out of the baby store and towards their favorite fast food restaurant to join their friends.
