"You're pregnant?" Mika gaped at the Inspector and Enforcer that were sitting in front of her.

"That's why we brought you in to Division One." Ginoza explained. "But I'm starting to see that you weren't a good fit."

"What?" The young Inspector looked at him in shock.

"You were about to get Kagari's title revoked." Akane said, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at Mika.

"But I was going to complain on both of them." Mika said. "Why would Kogami be off the hook?"

"Because the Chief knows." Gino answered. "Inspector Tsunemori and Enforcer Kogami have special circumstances."

"What kind of circumstances? He should have been locked up and she should have been told to terminate the pregnancy and be demoted to Enforcer at least."

"That was the original plan, but it was decided that because of Inspector Tsunemori's clear hue and both of their high intelligence levels, our bosses thought that their child would end up being a possible ideal citizen. They also thought it would be an interesting experiment to see what having a child as an Enforcer does to Kogami's crime coefficient."

"You've got to be kidding!" Mika laughed. "That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."

"I thought of it." Ginoza glared.

"Oh…"

"Consider this strike two." He told her flatly and walked out of the room.

—-

Akane decided that she would stay for the remainder of the shift and sent Ginoza home. She couldn't look at Mika at all, she was so angry with her.

It wasn't like her, but the younger Inspector tried to get Kagari and Kogami fired for basically being themselves.

And then there was her idiot lover.

She was also angry at him because he didn't bother trying to contact her to tell her what an awful job Mika was doing and how everything was going to shit.

Now he was trying to make it up to her.

"Akane, I'm sorry." He said, putting his arms around her shoulders while she was typing at her computer.

"Go away, Enforcer Kogami. I'm trying to reformat these reports." She growled.

"I tried to help her fix them."

"Just. Go." She glared.

Later, after she switched off with Inspector Aoyanagi, Akane walked right past Kogami without looking at him.

He followed her to the elevator and got in with her. As it descended to the lobby, he stopped it and looked at her.

"What are you doing?" She snapped and pressed the button to get it to start again.

Kogami stopped it again and pulled her against him.

"Please stop being angry."

"No." She said, hitting his chest over and over again. "Let me go."

He took her arms and pinned her body against the wall of the elevator.

"Sh-Shinya." She stared up at him in shock.

He leaned down and captured her lips with his.

Akane's knees became weak and her heart began to race.

Kogami lifted her up and supported her weight with his knee and continued to assault her lips.

He nipped at her bottom lip, getting her to open her mouth so he could wrestle her tongue with his.

They started to remove each other's clothing, but panicked when they felt the elevator start to move again.

"Shit." Kogami moved Akane in front of him to hide his arousal and they quickly tried to make themselves look presentable.

They stood motionless when the double doors opened and an office worker stepped inside.

"Good evening, detectives."

Kogami nodded to the woman and Akane gave her a slight wave, both still very much flustered from what happened only seconds ago.

When she exited on the lobby floor, Kogami and Akane just stood there and let the doors shut.

"You would have been forced to be locked up in the Rehabilitation Center if me and Gino hadn't arrived when we did." Akane chocked out, breaking the silence.

"I thought I could handle things. I'm sorry." He apologized again, pulling her against him. "Please stay with me tonight. Don't go home angry."

The Inspector quickly turned around and pulled him down to her level by his tie and kissed him hard.

"Then make it up to me." She said, pulling back and looking in to his eyes with pure hunger.

Kogami quickly pushed the button to the floor where the Enforcer's dormitories were located, plotting the different ways he would show her just how sorry he was.

—-

Akane rested her head on Kogami's chest and sighed contently. All she could think about was how lucky she was to be with this man.

She remembered how this all started by accident.

It was after her classmate, Shoko Sugawara, had been murdered.

Akane had been blaming herself. She should have been able to do more, but she couldn't.

That's when she saw how stressed she was becoming. She didn't want to risk her psycho pass hue, and she had heard that doing something physically active was a great stress reliever, so she had asked Kogami to teach her how to fight.

"Remember the basics." Kogami told her as they stood across from each other in the gym.

"My objective is to survive." Akane nodded. "Remember my limits."

"There are no rules. So keep it dirty." Kogami smirked as they moved closer to each other.

"Hit first, take initiative." She said, throwing her first blow.

He dodged her hits for a few moments, then was surprised to find himself on the ground with her on top of him.

"Take him to the ground at close distance." She whispered to him, keeping all of her weight on his torso.

They stared at each other for a few moments, her face only inches from his.

He didn't dare to make a move first, knowing that repercussions could put his title as an Enforcer at stake.

That's probably why it shocked him even more to feel her lips pressed against his with her next movement. He kissed her back with the same amount of pressure with out realizing it.

When they broke the kiss for air, they looked at each other wide eyed.

"I-I'm so sorry." She gasped.

"I'm not." He said, pulling her down for another kiss.

It escalated from there. Soon, their training was done away with altogether.

They would sneak away to be alone during the day, always making up excuses as to why they were barely making it to the office on time.

It wasn't until Ginoza had caught them in a janitor's closet that they were found out.

He had told them to stop with their relationship immediately, or he would be forced to go to the Chief, causing Kogami to be arrested and Akane most likely demoted to Enforcer.

So they ended everything.

Akane would go home after work every day, not understanding why she was hurting so bad.

Yuki suggested that maybe she fell in love with out realizing it until the relationship had ended. Since she didn't know all of the details, she told Akane that she needed to tell him just how she felt.

She agreed, but continued to avoid Kogami anyway.

It wasn't until she had missed her cycle for the second time over the two months they had been apart that she worried about the possibility of being pregnant. She swallowed her pride and finally took a home test.

She felt her world stop when she saw a positive sign appear on the results.

The next day she had gone to work, she pulled Kogami aside so she could talk to him.

"Is everything okay, Inspector?" He asked. No emotion was behind his words. As if there was nothing he felt for her, after all.

That's what made her lose it.

She crumpled to the floor in tears, causing Kogami to panic and kneel down next to her.

"Is everything okay? IS EVERYTHING OKAY?!" She shouted.

"Akane, be quiet, or someone will come and find us."

"Oh, so now I'm Akane? What happened to Inspector Tsunemori, huh?" She snapped. "The moment I show my weakness, that's when you start caring?!"

"I never stopped caring!" He shouted, grabbing her by the shoulders.

Akane stared up at him, her sobs ceasing. She surprised by his actions and the genuine worry she saw on his face.

"Now are you going to tell me what is going on?"

"I'm so sorry." She cried over and over again.

"Sorry? Akane, what is going on?"

"I'm pregnant."

Kogami stared in shock at the woman in front of him, unable to say anything.

Akane continued to sob until she felt arms wrap around her and lips pressed to her forehead.

"It's okay. We can handle this, Akane."

"I don't want to give it up." She said, tears still flowing from her eyes. "I don't want them to make you go away, either."

"Okay." He nodded. "We'll figure something out."

That night was the New Years party, and they knew that the Chief would be there for a brief time. They decided to tell her together.

Chief Kasei was guarded by the head Inspectors of each division when she arrived at the party.

All Inspectors and Enforcers were there to bring in the new year.

Kogami and Akane nodded to each other and made their way to the older woman.

"No Enforcers are permitted to speak with Chief Kasei." Ginoza said, stopping them.

"Please, Inspector Ginoza." Akane pleaded. "It's about an important matter."

"I'm sorry, Inspector Tsunemori, but that's the rules."

Akane waved him down so she could whisper in his ear.

Ginoza's eyes widened with anger at Kogami. He pushed Akane aside and swung a fist at the Enforcer, who dodged it swiftly.

Akane pushed through the crowd of people that had gathered to protect the Chief and pinned Ginoza down to keep him from taking any more hits at Kogami.

The Chief appeared next to the two Inspectors and demanded to see them in her office.

"Please! Allow Enforcer Kogami to join us." Akane begged. "It's really important."

"Fine." She agreed. "Just stop with this commotion."

When they went to her office, Akane and Kogami came clean to her, leaving out the fact that Ginoza knew about the relationship the whole time.

Kogami was told to remain in his quarters and Akane was put on unpaid leave until they met with her and other PSB officials.

They were interviewed separately.

Akane was expecting them to ask how the relationship started and who was the one to make the first move. She also went in expecting them to make her give up the baby and demoting her to Enforcer for her actions.

"I kissed him first. I was the one who wanted our relationship." Akane admitted. "Enforcer Kogami only did what I told him to. He shouldn't be forced to leave the CID because of my actions."

"That is our decision, Inspector Tsunemori." An old man frowned down at her. "We're here to discuss what took place and what we should do about you and the fetus."

Akane looked down. They only used the word fetus to avoid the fact that it was a living baby that was growing on the inside of her.

"Now, how long has this affair been going on?" Chief Kasei asked.

"Three months."

"Where would these meetings take place?"

"It started in the locker room showers, but progressed to different places in the PSB building." Akane kept her eyes on her lap.

"Were you aware of the consequences of your actions if you were caught?" Ginoza asked, earning a glare from his partner.

"Yes. I was completely aware."

"Why put your job at risk?" A woman asked.

"There's always been something there between Enforcer Kogami and I." Akane smiled to herself. "I guess I broke that separation because I couldn't restrain myself anymore."

"Do you regret your relationship with Enforcer Kogami?"

"Not a single second." The Inspector answered, giving them a determined look.

"If you were told to abort the fetus, how would you react?" The older man asked.

"I would run." Akane said. "I would do everything in my power to make sure that my baby lived."

"Even if that meant your or Kogami Shinya's death?" Ginoza asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Me and Kogami agreed that our child's life is priority."

All of Akane's superiors stared at her, surprised by all of her answers. Her words proved that she was in love with the Enforcer, and that nothing would change that.

"You are free to go, Inspector. We will deliberate judgement, and contact you when we have more information." Chief Kasaei said.

Akane stood and bowed to the board of superiors and left.

She waited for endless hours it felt.

Kogami was going to be interviewed later on that day, then their final judgement would come.

They were called back to Chief Kasei's office later that evening to hear what they had decided.

When she saw him, she knew he hadn't been sleeping well by the look of the bags he had under his eyes.

"I'm so sorry." She mouthed to him as they walked in together.

He quickly kissed her forehead and reassured her that they would get through this just fine.

"Inspector Tsunemori. Enforcer Kogami." Chief Kasei was looking at them from her chair. "We have made a decision."

"Even though your relationship is something normally frowned on, you are lucky that you both have high performance scores." She began. "And you're lucky to also have a head Inspector that makes good points."

Kogami and Akane glanced to Ginoza, who was standing next to the Chief.

"We will allow you both to continue as an Inspector and Enforcer of the Criminal Investigations Department."

Akane covered her mouth as she gasped.

"And," She continued. "We will allow you to keep your child and you are permitted to carry on with your romantic relationship if that is your desire."

Tears began to flow, and Akane turned and hugged on to Kogami.

"What is the catch?" The Enforcer narrowed his eyes down at the older woman.

"What do you mean?"

"You wouldn't be allowing this if there wasn't a benefit for the government. What is the catch?"

Chief Kasei smirked. "You are sharp, Enforcer."

"You can continue on as any normal couple, only if you make it public to the PSB office personnel." Ginoza said. "And you have to allow your child and Kogami to be examined by government scientists as the child grows."

"Why?" Akane asked, looking disgusted at the thought of people constantly looking at her baby like some specimen.

"We want to monitor their psycho passes." The Chief explained. "To see what the effect being a new father has on Enforcer Kogami, and to see how the child develops psychologically. Your clear hue has always intrigued me, and I would like to see if your child inherits that as well."

Kogami and Akane looked at each other.

"We have to agree to it." Akane said, giving him a pleading look.

"Fine." Kogami nodded. "I'll do whatever you want."

And he stayed true to those words.

"What are you thinking about?" A groggy voice shook her from her thoughts.

Akane looked up at her lover and gave him a smile.

"I was just thinking about what an amazing father you are going to be."

His cheeks became pink at her words, and he gave her a shy smile.

"Not as good as you will be as a mother."
