Ryoma was in the hospital bed sleeping uncomfortably the hospital bed was rock hard Ryoma never did like firm mattresses. That night Ryoma was having a couple bad dreams he could not remember all of them but he did have a clear view of one.

Ryoma's Dream

Ryoma was still in the hospital bed laying there peacefully a light shined above him Ryoma yawned as it was late and he was tired. Then out of nowhere a man came out of the shadows Ryoma eyes fluttered sacredness pitched into his eyes. As the figure walked over from the dark ibis behind him Ryoma shivered trying to find the emergency phone to call for help. Ryoma thought it might have been that man that attacked him sadly for Ryoma's small amnesia Ryoma could not remember the name.

"What do you want?" Ryoma yelled trying to protect him self from the shadow figure Ryoma grabbed the nearest item a pillow. The boy chucked it at the man having not success Ryoma scowled "Go away," Ryoma screamed. When the body came to the side of the bed Ryoma started to sob he was scared that it was the one who assailed him. Then the hand of the figure came out shivers went down his spine as the hand grabbed Ryoma's chin to make him look into his face.

Ryoma winced once tears still burned on his skin the figure came out of the darkness into the light to form a man. He was much taller then Ryoma about the size of Tezuka Ryoma knew this face. He knew the blue flipping hair the beauty mark all too well he had on a dark blue polo and some average sized blue jeans.

"M-Monkey K-King," Ryoma shuttered as the boy's dark silver blue eyes stared into his golden ones Ryoma touched his face to see if he was real. But suddenly Atobe dispersed into dust the only thing he said was "Ryoma I love you," with that leaving Ryoma to witness the disintegration. Ryoma started screaming when he was being taken into the dark area shadows pulled him in gabbing into Ryoma's arms and ankles then sucked the boy in.

End of Ryoma's Dream

Ryoma woke up shakily still having Riku in his arms she was sucking her thumb and kind of drooling on him. The boy looked around his surroundings to find that everything was ok the sun was shining and Ryoma was warm in bed. Not in his dream though it was so cold in his dream that Ryoma actually had goose bumps thinking about it. Ryoma let a sigh escape his mouth Ryoma winced, as his back was stiff from the bed.

Riku was started to wake up Ryoma felt a silly guilt for waking the girl with his sudden movement. The little toddler rubbed her eyes and yawned showing all her baby teeth Ryoma's eyes softened when Riku just nodded off and began to nuzzle into Ryoma. She began to start sucking her thumb again "Great, a new habit," Ryoma grimaced in his mind.

Riku turned and opened her eyes half way balling her hands into a fist and stretching slightly Ryoma smirked she reminded him of him self. Always in school gaping in class and rubbing his eyes like any old lazy kid would do. Ryoma laughed at the thought Riku's eyes then popped open she smiled "what funny?" she asked ever so sweetly.

The boy ruffled her midnight hair a bit "nothing really just you," Ryoma answered as the girl began to giggle. "Daddy," the girl bubbled as she started to try to tickle her father wanting to find out if he was ticklish or not. Ryoma picked the girl up and hugged her not even knowing she was so ruthless. Riku then tickled the pit of Ryoma's shoulder Ryoma laughed a bit trying to move the girl's hand. "I win," Riku announced Ryoma then pulled the girl into yet another hug when a nurse came in.

"Mr Echizen you have a visitor," the nurse stated Ryoma shrugged and told her to send the person in Ryoma's parents and moocher or a brother Ryoga left for home. Tezuka however had to go to work he had to go to a meeting he didn't want to leave Ryoma but Ryoma did not want Tezuka to loose his job. Ryoma expected his company to be family or maybe some of Ryoma's friends. The person that walked in though was far from just a friend though or just some random family member. It was a man with brown locks and closed eyes the only man that had always smiled no matter what reason.

"Syusuke," Ryoma squeaked trying to not blush the best he could Fuji walked in swiftly making his way to Ryoma's side. "Hm it has been a while hasn't it Ryo Chan," Fuji said crossing his arms Ryoma bit his lip and swallowed hard. Taking a moment to glance at the older boy "W-what a-re you-u ding h-here," Ryoma shuttered. Fuji glanced at the tiny girl in Ryoma's arms she was looking around curiously wondering who was here. "I heard about the incident, both of them I never knew you had a daughter," Fuji stated "Yet I don't remember you ever with Cara Chan in that way," Fuji finished.

Ryoma chewed on his lip bringing Riku closer to his body making sure she was secure "What is her name Ryo Chan," Fuji asked? The younger boy sighed scratching the back of his neck "Riku," Ryoma replied softly Fuji then opened his stunning blue eyes. There was no hiding it either Riku was Ryoma's daughter the dark green, black hair the amber eyes, even though they were glazed you could still tell. The only thing that was peculiar was a Riku's physical feature and well to tell the truth she did not look like Cara.

Cara had dark brown hair and peach skin she also to include Cara had sea green eyes well since Ryoma took up the appearance. There was only the attitude and habits to go along with it Cara was a pushy person and she had a two faced personality. She would be your friend one day then bite at you the day after Cara was mean and Fuji did not understand why Ryoma would go out with her. Just by looking at Riku he could tell that she wasn't two faced she seemed to be shy though. This made Fuji wonder did Ryoma go out with Sakuno in the past. No Ryoma was a total gay but wait if he is total gay how could he have been in bed with Cara this did not make sense.

Ryoma was fidgeting with his covers trying not to run for the hills he wanted to be strong and ready too bad he could not exactly walk well. "Ryoma," Fuji started Ryoma looked over at Fuji surprised that he actually said his full name. "You have not been in bed with Cara have you?' Fuji asked while looking at Riku. Ryoma's mouth dropped and he plugged Riku's ears Riku had a confused look on her face "how would you know?" Ryoma spat. Fuji tilted Riku's chin up "she is nothing like her or anything," Fuji stated as he glanced at Ryoma who was shaking.

"Syusuke, h-how c-can you t-tell," Ryoma stuttered

Fuji laughed softly "So my eyes are correct," Ryoma swallowed hard "So Ryoma who is it?" Fuji finished

Ryoma turned away almost embarrassed to admit it "I am," Ryoma shook Fuji's eyes widened how could this be it was vertically impossible for a male to have babies. "Ryoma, how can this be?" Fuji asked Ryoma's hands didn't move from Riku's ears he bit his lip. "I am not just a male but I am partly female by a quarter, my female cells must have reacted when I made love to one of you guys," Ryoma explained. Fuji looked hard at Ryoma "who are the possible mates," Fuji asked Ryoma sighed "Tezuka Kumimitsu, Atobe Keigo, Sanada Genichirou and lastly you Syusuke," Ryoma listed. This made Fuji weak in the knees he was possibly already a parent and he didn't even know it.

All this time he always though as Ryoma as a full male but he wasn't Fuji's heart pounded. Ryoma let Riku's ears go Riku looked up into the wrong direction "Daddy, what for,' Riku asked cutely. Almost smirking Ryoma turned the girl's head over to the right direction "There was grown up talk," Ryoma answered. Riku nodded smiling then cocked her head "Who here," she said pointing in random directions. "It is one of my old boy—I mean friends Fuji Syusuke and he is to your right," Ryoma replied stupidly. Riku buried her head into Ryoma's chest "hello," she said shyly Fuji smirked then looked at Ryoma for assurance of holding Riku. Ryoma nodded slightly Fuji picked up Riku she looked to the man and giggled as he cradled her.

Fuji smiled warmly and opened his blue eyes "Hm I wonder who is the other father," Fuji pondered in his thoughts. "I wonder if it is me," he finished in his mind. The two talking for a while then Fuji left saying that they should talk sometime Ryoma agreed. Later that day Tezuka came back to visit haply excited to see Ryoma. He walked into the quiet room Ryoma was sitting in bed as Riku slept on his lap. Tezuka smiled and walked over to Ryoma he smoothly sat down next to Ryoma on the left side of the bed. Ryoma seemed pail though his eyes did not even blink much he just was staring at the wall Tezuka tapped Ryoma's shoulder.

Then instantly Ryoma snapped back to normal Ryoma looked over to Tezuka the man had worried eyes "Gomen Kumimitsu I was just deep in thoughts," Ryoma said apologetically. Tezuka nodded as he understood Ryoma "Well Ryoma the doctors say that you are going to be able to go home on Thursday," Tezuka refreshed. Ryoma nodded "only two days it is not so bad," Ryoma assured in his thoughts Ryoma did not like hospitals. You could only sleep for two hours and then they would take you and bring you to do texts.

Tezuka smiled at the young boy "Tezuka, Fuji came in today," Ryoma announced quietly at then Tezuka's eyes became huge. "What did he say to you?" Tezuka asked Ryoma pulled the neck of his hospital gown "I told him about um my pregnancy," Ryoma choked. Eyes were wide and Ryoma's palms sweated "Ryoma you told him why?" Tezuka asked. "I told him because he knew it was not Cara's," Ryoma stated Tezuka rubbed his forehead "Well how is this going to work Ryoma we need to see who is the true other father," Tezuka informed.

Ryoma nodded slightly "I had a weird dream this morning and also it was about Atobe," Ryoma cringed. Tezuka only glanced at Ryoma for a moment. Then took a seat at the closest chair he dug his hands into his black, leather coat pockets and looked down to the tile floor. Silence was in the air making Ryoma feel nervous "was he mad, was he angry?" all the questions unanswered in Ryoma's mind.

At that moment Ryoma yelled, "Why aren't you saying anything?" Tezuka looked up stunned at Ryoma for shouting. Everything became still as if time it self froze sweat dripped from Ryoma's forehead onto his cheek. Tezuka felt uncomfortable Ryoma was completely out of it he had so much stress these past few years Ryoma had to take care of Riku at age of sixteen. The pressure was thick lots of mistakes could not be made but happened anyway to hurt Ryoma even more.

Ryoma broke down and started to cry trying to hide it buy covering his tears with his hands "I can't do it anymore Kumimitsu I a ruining the life, of my baby and there is nothing I can do about it," Ryoma sobbed. The heart of Tezuka was pounding making the air hard to speak or even breath "Ryoma," Tezuka chocked. The boy looked up eyes completely wet with tears "You can save yourself, and Riku I know it is going to be hard but there will be faith someday," Tezuka finished.

Ryoma looked up still stained with tears he tried to rub his cheeks and not look like a fool Tezuka walked to the left side of Ryoma and brushed the tears off of Ryoma's face. Making Ryoma have the ability to form a smile Tezuka kissed Ryoma on the lips softly. The young boy moaned softly as Tezuka slid his tongue into Ryoma's cavern, he tasted Ryoma's sweet saliva. The two cherry red tongues danced together then Ryoma pulled away Tezuka looked at Ryoma with lust. Ryoma put his pointer finger to his lips "Not now Mitsu," Ryoma advised grinningly Tezuka pouted "Why?" Ryoma pointed to his right. Riku was sleeping soundly with her hair messed up and her faced buried into a pillow. With soft breaths blowing from her lips Ryoma turned back to Tezuka who was analyzing the girl Ryoma almost laughed. Later that evening Tezuka was going to stay the night at the hospital he had no work the next day and he wanted to spend some time with Ryoma.

The two men were pretty much up all the time doctors came in and out to check on Ryoma, which drove him crazy. Tezuka could not sleep because he was worried about Ryoma and would fallow him as they did his tests. While those two were busy Riku was very comfortable in the hospital bed warmly tucking under the covers.

Ryoma would not dare to leave Riku with his father, since the incidents back when Riku was only one; one of the worst times was the ash trey event. It was probably the first day in July that Ryoma's father was babysitting Riku they were sitting at the porch. He was smoking and Riku was bouncing tennis balls. However she was not able to know where they went when the rubber, yellow ball rolled around Riku went to look for the ball. Crawling to find it and the ash trey was also on the porch and was filled with ash and plenty of cigarette buds around.

Anyways Riku was crawling so to speak, feeling around for the ball Ryoma's father was lying reading one of his dirty magazines. Fortunately Ryoma was there Riku could have gotten a hold of one of the buds that were probably still hot with fire and burnt her self. The ball rolled next to the ash trey and sat there and Riku finally found it still not paying attention the man kept reading.

Riku found something plastic then grabbed it with her two tinny hands and flipped the ash trey so the ashes would spill on her. The old man glanced over "Hey kid what are you doing," Ryoma's father shouted Ryoma herd the yell and dashed over to the girl.

"What did you do old man," Ryoma sneered picking up his daughter. The man stumbling trying to find the words to say what had happened Ryoma kicked the man on the thigh. "Stupid, old man pay attention to your surroundings," Ryoma shot out and that is one of the reasons why Ryoma never lets Riku get baby sat by his father.

Ryoma sighed as he took Riku in for a bath she was covered head to toe in ashes while Ryoma was grumbling Riku was giggling. One year past and now Ryoma will never let Riku in the hands of any babysitter for the incidents that have happened in the past.

Tezuka and Ryoma came back into the small hospital room, Tezuka was wheeling Ryoma into the room Ryoma felt awkward. He had never felt so vulnerable Ryoma Echizen was never weak though he was not supposed to. People looked up to him and called Ryoma a hero if they saw him so pitiful there is no telling what would happen.

Tezuka sat down in a chair close to Ryoma, adjusting to the hard leather chair Tezuka looked at Ryoma concerned with his behavior. "Is there something bothering you?" Tezuka asked eyeing Ryoma with his honey brown eyes. Ryoma turned looking at his lover "It is nothing, nothing important at least," Ryoma said swallowing hard. Tezuka placed his hand on Ryoma's quivering one and softly soothed him making the boy laugh softly he planted a kiss on his cheek ever so softly.

"I love you, but," Ryoma paused and Tezuka nodded "We should keep our hands to ourselves until further notice," Ryoma finished glancing down at Riku. Tezuka sighed laying his head lightly on the bed Riku was sucking her thumb, drool slipped a little off her thumb. "That habit is going to be the death of her dental health," Ryoma said with a soft sigh "I think it is kind of cute," Tezuka chuckled. Ryoma offered a playful glare, leaning back into the backboard of the bed.

Ryoma was on the verge of sleep, however he knew he would just wake up another two hours since doctors come in every second they can. The night was long and Riku was the only one to get a decent amount of rest. Around the hour of eight A.M. Riku was up. Ryoma desperately needed a cup of coffee, Tezuka was filling the two mugs and Riku was curiously smelled the sweet smell of coffee. Warm steam came out of the mugs as Tezuka put in a couple dashes of sugar and cream. "Ryoma, do you want any cream or sugar in your coffee?" Tezuka asked swirling the substances with his spoon in his cup of coffee.

Ryoma shook his head he did not care much for sweets "No, just plain please," Ryoma replied rummaging for a tennis magazine by his nightstand. Riku's eyes glowed, as she smelled the two cups she had a sweet tooth bigger then Ryoma's love of tennis. Tezuka walked over to Ryoma placing the mug right next to the younger male. Riku tried to climb on Ryoma's lap to retrieve the white glass mug Ryoma thanked Tezuka for making him his morning helper.

He swiped the cup before Riku could get her small hands on it she pouted "Un coffee," she whined. Ryoma glanced down at the girl "Huh," he looked at Riku confused "I think she wants your coffee Ryoma," Tezuka said pointing at the mug. Taking a look at the cup "No, Riku, honey coffee is not good for little ones like you," Ryoma said placing the cup in a far distance.

Riku then cried Ryoma heaved a sigh and picked up the girl so she would be in the air and look face to face with Ryoma. "This coffee has no cream or sugar in it, It's really bitter you wouldn't like it sweetie," Ryoma said in a baby talking voice Riku took another try of grabbing the mug. Tezuka laughed softly and Ryoma glared at him, Ryoma took the spoon that was in his mug. Then put a small amount of coffee on it he blew on it softly do it would get cook.

Riku smiled a toothy smile knowing that she was going to try the substance Ryoma placed the spoon by Riku's mouth. "There is a spoon right in front with coffee in it but just to warn you it is not sweet," Ryoma warned Riku ignored the caution and took the sip. She then wrinkled her nose "Ewe, icky, icky," Riku squeaked as she tried to wipe away the taste.

Tezuka and Ryoma chuckled and Riku moped about the incident "Aa, I warned you," Ryoma teased, making Riku even pout even more. "I would say blame the sweet tooth that is much, much worse then sucking your thumb," Ryoma kidded "Oooo, you meany," Riku grumbled.

Chuckling, the men did not realize that the doctor had just came in "Um Mr Echizen you have a guest," The doctor said before walking out. Ryoma's eyes widened as he saw it was Sanada Ryoma felt the cold chills come back down his spine once again. Though there was something strange Sanada had two small boys no older then Riku in his arms.
