Chapter 6

Another two weeks had passes by and Shuichi and Eiri were due for another appointment. Once they were called in to the doctor's office, Shuichi was already seated on the exam table with Eiri seated in the chair aside him, patiently waiting.

"Now, how are we doing this fine morning?" asked Dr.Kano as he walked in suddenly.

"We are doing great! And guess what?! The baby kicked…I felt it." Shuichi exclaimed as he bounced in his spot.

"That's great news. Now, would you like to see your baby?"

Shuichi cocked his head to one side as he heard the doctor's question. He wore a puzzled face that said, 'how in the world am I able to see the baby when it isn't even born yet!'

"What do you mean? We can actually see it?"

"Yes, there is a machine that allows us to see the baby. It's called a sonogram."

There was a couple seconds of silence when, all of a sudden, Shuichi yelled, "Absolutely! Do it! Do it! Do it!"

All of this screaming was started to get to Eiri t the point that he had to step in and calm Shuichi down with a voice that he knew Shuichi could never resist.

"Shu-baby…calm down." He said softly while looking deeply into Shuichi's amethyst orbs.

At Eiri's voice, Shuichi immediately quieted down while looking at Eiri with admiration and love.

Shuichi was situated on the exam table with his back on the table. He quietly watched as the doctor snapped on some gloves and gently lifted Shuichi's shirt up to reveal his, now, very visible baby bump.

"I'm going to put this gel on your stomach to help the device move around a bit easier. It's rather cold at first, so brace yourself."

As the gel was finally applied, Shuichi's eyes widened as he realized the truth in the doctor's words; he was happy that he was warned. The doctor then started to spread the gel around in circles until it was spread out evenly with the device. The hand device was moved around a little until he was able to pick up the perfect image of the baby on the screen.

"Now, the screen is mostly black, but if you look a little closer, you can make out the shape of your baby…right…there."

Doctor Kano looked over at Shuichi and Eiri expecting to see smiling faces; however, what he saw was Eiri's mouth agape and Shuichi sobbing like a five year old. As the sound of Shuichi's sobs reached his ears, Eiri was snapped out his awe. He stood up quickly and loomed over Shuichi with concerned eyes.

"That's our baby Shu, what are you crying about?"

"That exactly, I mean…we made that together. I still can't believe it, and I don't know if I ever will. What I do know is that I want to hold it already!"

Eiri leaned down and pecked Shuichi on the lips and wiped away his tears with the pad of his thump.

"Well, just four more months and you'll get your wish. Now, would you like to know the sex of the baby?"

With just one look shared between Eiri and Shuichi, they immediately reached a mutual agreement.

"No, I think we'd both like to keep it a surprise, just like our baby was."

"Alrighty then, we're all done here. If you'll excuse me I need to head to my next scheduled appointment, so I will see you two in another two weeks."

The door closed shut to leave the two some privacy as Shuichi got redressed. After seeing their baby there was nothing that either had to say; they were still trying process the information. The silence in the room was not an awkward one, but a comfortable one. The only thing that was floating in the atmosphere was their happiness and love combined.

"Come on Shu, let's get you cleaned up and get out of here."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now that Shuichi was already in his eighth month of his pregnancy, he decided that it was time to tell everyone else about the good news. He had been hiding all this time in fear that everyone at NG would reject him and look at him in disgust. In search of advice and reassurance, Shuichi went to Eiri's office where he was told that if they were his real friends, then they would accept him no matter what.

Before leaving his and Eiri's flat, he had put n a pair of large pants and a giant grey sweater with a print of Kumagoro on it…what a surprise…and then left to NG Studios. He had left in a very melancholy mood because Eiri had, very bluntly, refused to go with him.

Flashback

"Eiri, I think we should tell the guys at NG about our situation, don't you?"

"Sure, I mean, if you want Tohma to butt into our lives even more than he already does, then, by all means, go right ahead."

"…Are you mad at me or something because I'm really sorry if I did something that you didn't like; just tell me and I'll try and fix it."

"No no, you didn't do anything wrong, baby, it's just that Tohma is very nosy and I don't want to have him bothering us every second of our lives."

"I know, but I think that they really need to know about the baby; they are my friends after all."

"Okay, but I'm not going to go with you…I see his face enough already. So, good luck with that."

"But…Eiri…I need you there with me, I mean it is you baby too. Please please please. I'll do anything you want."

"No, I'm fine. Go on ahead."

"Fine! But no more sex for you…for a day…no…a week…HA!"

Shuichi slammed the office door and left heatedly at the thought that the man he loved wouldn't do him one little favor. However, the more and more he thought about the situation he started to understand, to some level, Eiri's reason for not going with him; he strongly disliked Tohma.

End Flashback

Before Shuichi entered their studio room, he stopped to think about what he would say to everyone; he took a deep breath and stepped into the room. The sound of Hiro's guitar and Suguru playing the synth to 'The Rage Beat' was the first thing that reached his ears. Being away from them and not being able to sing for a while made him realize just how much he missed singing, so as he walked further into the room he began to sing along.

At the sound of familiar singing, both Hiro and Suguru looked up from their instruments and noticed the sole figure standing in the middle of the room singing. Too shocked and ecstatic to finally see Shuichi for the longest time, they failed to notice Shuichi's rather large belly. As a result of their failure, Hiro ran up to Shuichi and enveloped him in a tight hug.

"Oww…owwwwww! Hiro let go! Shuichi shrieked.

"What…why…I'm just hugging you…" Hiro reluctantly let go of Shuichi at looked up and down to see what was wrong with Shuichi, "what the hell happened to you!"

Your stomach…it's huge!"

"Hiro…I'm fat…is that what you're trying to say?! It's not my fault that I'm fat…and why'd you have to say it like that…huh?" Shuichi cried while hurling anything and everything in his reach at Hiro.

"What?! I'm sorry…I'm sorry…Ah! I didn't mean it like that, damn it!"

Shuichi stopped his wailing and his violent tantrum and looked at Hiro.

"Oh…It's okay Hiro, no hard feelings."

"Thank god that's over!" Huffed Hiro, noticing Shuichi's sudden mood switch.

"Wha…waaahhhhhh…now Hiro hates me…now he won't talk to me…ever ever ever! Noooo, I'm sorry…Hiro, I…"

"Stop! I'm not mad, and I don't hate you! Just please tell me what is going on."

"…umm…well…promise you won't get mad?"

"Yeah, just tell me already because I've been calling you and looking all over for you trying to find out where you were. Didn't you think that I would be worried about you? Nevermind, what's done is done, just on with it."

Shuichi couldn't help but to start tearing up at just how much Hiro-his best friend- really cared for him. He knew he could tell him about his pregnancy.

"Well, Eiri and I were going to have sex, but I told him that I wanted to make love and to make it mean something. So, he said yes…"

Eiri's Apartment

Write at the current moment, Eiri was having some difficulty coming up with decent ideas to write for his novel. The reason as to why he couldn't think: a certain someone kept popping up into his head at the wrong time. He couldn't help but feel guilty for refusing to go with Shuichi to tell everyone the good news; news that involved him completely.

Damn, I should've gone with him. Why do I always have to be so stupid when it comes down to things concerning Shuichi; especially now that it has everything to do with me, Shuichi and the baby? He needs me now more than ever and I just let him walk away alone; to tell everyone alone. God I'm such an idiot. Now he's going to be mad and to top it all off no sex for a week…a whole entire week. He did just leave twenty minutes ago…I can probably still catch up to him.

With that last thought in mind, Eiri quickly saved his work or lack thereof, slipped his shoes on, and left to go after Shuichi.

At NG Studios

"You know, you could've spared me the details of your sex life with Eiri. I could've done without them."

"Heh…yeah, well sorry. I got caught up in the bliss of it all."

Eiri stood just outside of the room that Shuichi and Hiro were in and heard them talking, so he took advantage of this perfect opportunity to eavesdrop through the slightly opened door.

"But Hiro, that's not all. There's something else I have to tell you."

"What? It's nothing bad I hope, right?"

"No no, it's actually pretty great news actually. I'm really happy and so is Eiri."

"Okay, now I'm really curious as to what you have to say. What is it?"

"Well, you know that we used no protection, so…now, I'm pregnant!"

"Stop joking and tell me the truth already, you big goof-ball."

"Uh, Hiro…I'm not joking."

Hiro's face held no expression. Shuichi was having a hard time figuring out what Hiro's reaction would be and considering the circumstances, Shuichi figured the worst. All he really wanted was for his best friend to be happy for him and to accept him; however, it didn't seem like he would ranted that one little thing. Shuichi's eyes fell from Hiro's face as he realized that Hiro wasn't happy. The hope that he had at being accepted by everyone was lost because if his best friend wouldn't, then who would. Glancing one more time at Hiro, Shuichi made an effort to get up off the couch, but he was having some difficulty…to say the least.

As he struggled to get up, he heard Hiro mumble, "Oh my God. That's…that's…"

"Please Hiro…don't be mad." Shuichi ceased moving as his effort were fruitless and looked at Hiro.

"Absolutely great!!"

Cries were the only response that Hiro received as he looked at Shuichi. Shuichi was bawling his eyes out, while one Eiri Yuki was smiling on the other side of the door. He was relieved to hear that they, at least, had the support of Shuichi's best friend because, at this point, he was the only one that really mattered.

"I'm really happy for you buddy…and Mr.Yuki too, of course."

"You have no idea how much I love you Hiro. It's just that, you've always been there for me, even until now. I honestly had no idea what to expect…thank you Hiro."

"You should never have doubted me, Shu. You know I'll always love you now matter what."

Eiri started to get at little jealous as he witnessed their little conversation…okay maybe more than just a little jealous. Close to barging into the room, claiming Shuichi, and putting Hiro in his place, he stopped. What Shuichi had said next had him dead in his tracks.

"But Hiro, I hope you can finally accept Eiri and try to get along with him. I can't possibly have the two people I love most in this world hating each other, now can I?"

"I guess not, but he had better love you back or there is no way that we will be able to be civilized with one another."

"I only wish. I mean, I love him Hiro, so much. I cannot even express in words how much I love him, and I know he loves me too, but I'm not so sure anymore. Sometimes I begin to doubt his love for me. Like today, he wouldn't even come with me to tell you and everyone else about the baby-our baby. I know he's not exactly fond of Tohma, but don't you think if he really loved me…if he really loved the baby…he would have come regardless?"

He had heard enough. The one behind the door barged straight into the room.

"Don't you, for even a second, doubt my love for you Shuichi. I mean…you were the one was able to break my shell; to get me to show emotions. I love you Shuichi, know that now and forever."

Shuichi was caught by surprise. He couldn't believe that his love had actually decided to come in the end; he was relieved that his doubts were crushed once and for all. Unfortunately, this sweet and memorable moment of his life had to be ruined by his attempts at standing. He tried swinging his legs back and forth to heave himself up off the couch; however, his large belly wouldn't allow it. The moment he would lean forward to stand, he would flop, gracelessly, back down.

"Damn it! I've had enough of this! I can't see my feet, I can't fit into my clothes, I can't wear any sneakers because of ridiculously fat feet, and now I can't even stand up! God damn it!"

Both Hiro and Eiri were able to do nothing but laugh so hard that they couldn't breathe. Of all the times that Shuichi tried to get Eiri to laugh and couldn't, he chose now to laugh…at his misery; the nerve of that man.

"Don't just stand there laughing at me. Help me up! Now!"

Eiri rushed over to Shuichi and held out his hand. Shuichi took hold of Eiri's offered hand and tried to pull himself up, but he found that he was too heavy; Eiri's help only succeeded in pulling him down on top of Shuichi. In a moment of panic, Shuichi could only shield his belly with his arms to prevent Eiri from falling on him. Knowing that that would do nothing, he quickly used his arms to keep himself above Shuichi. Shuichi laid there terrified, with his eyes jammed shut hoping that nothing bad would happen. After a few moments of silence, nothing did happen. He opened his eyes and saw Eiri right there above him. Only now that the fright was over did the both notice what position they were in; Shuichi on his back and Eiri on top of him with his arms on either side of his head and his legs on either side of his waist. On his back, a blush quickly grew on Shuichi's cheeks, while looking away in bashfulness. A soft hand made its way to Shuichi's face and as it was, a bruising kiss was delivered by Eiri.

"Good thing Hiro left, huh?"

"Mmmm…you came." Shuichi stated the obvious.

"I believe we've established that already." Eiri responded smartly.

"I'm really happy you're here with me Eiri."

"I know, baby. Now, let's get this over with."

Although Hiro had silently left the room to give them their privacy, he decided to stay outside near the room in case Shuichi needed any help. He was ushered back inside the room to keep Shuichi company while Eiri went to get everyone. Eiri quickly returned to the room before everyone else.

"Hey baby, how you holding up?"

Shuichi looked up at Eiri and gave him a smile, "I'm just a little…uh…nervous."

"I know, but just keep in mind that everything will turn out perfectly fine. If they really love you and consider you their friend, then they'll accept you…baby and everything."

"I hope so. I'm just glad that Hiro's fine with it and that you're here with me. You don't know how much this means to me; I have no idea what I'd do without you."

"I know…I'm great."

"Yeah…you are."

"And so are you, Shu."

Leaning down, Eiri caught Shuichi's lips in a long kiss when K came barging in the room; holster, guns, grenades, and all equipped.

"Hey now, let's stop this whole kissing fest; you can do this at home can't you Mr.Yuki?" K questioned with a sly smirk on his lips.

"Yes I can, but why wait when I can do it now. However, considering we have some rather important new to address, I will stop, but…"

Eiri bent down to Shuichi's ear and whispered something that made Shuichi develop a rather adorable blush that even Eiri couldn't resist. He quickly gave Shuichi a chaste kiss, took hold of his hand, and urged him to go on.

"Well, uh…I…uh…you see…what had happened was…that…uh…I…I'm…" Nervous laughter was the only thing that Shuichi could continue to do, so Eiri decided to take charge of the situation.

"What Shuichi was so brilliantly articulating," Eiri said sarcastically, "is that he's pregnant with my baby-our baby."

After few seconds of awkward silence on both ends, everyone screamed in unison, "What!? How!?"

"Well, to put it frankly, we fucked, a lot might I add, and somehow he fell pregnant. I for one am happy; happy with Shuichi and happy with my baby."

Eiri was aware that he had explained it somewhat harshly and crudely, but the thought of them saying something that would hurt Shuichi, even a bit, made him respond the way he did.

"Now this is quite unexpected, but what else can you do but to accept it. I am delighted for you both." Tohma said truthfully.

By now, everyone was congratulating the happy couple. After some questions and leisurely conversation, they left leaving the two alone.

"Make sure you don't soil the couch; other people sit on it too" Hiro commented before closing the door.

Eiri gave a knowing smirk, but Shuichi remained oblivious as always.

"Actually, that's not a bad idea; not at all." At that, the door was locked.

"Oh no you don't, Eiri. I know what that smirk means; there will be none of that until the baby is born."

Eiri was left flabbergasted, "Are you serious?! What makes you think that I can wait that…"

A loud wail followed by loud sobs filled the room.

"Nooo Eiri, fine…I'll do it…I'll do it. Just don't cheat on me. Don't fuck anyone else but me. Remember? I'm your hole…your hole to fuck!"

"You above anyone else should know that you aren't…" Eiri failed to finish.

"I knew it! You do have another hole to fuck don't you." Yelled Shuichi angrily.

This kid is crazy. One minute he's sad and desperate, the next he's angry and livid! God knows I can't wait until these mood swings finish.

"God Shuichi, will you let me finish!? You aren't just a hole to fuck, you're my baby, my love, and you're the only one I will ever fuck or make love to. You better do well to remember that!"

"…really? Oh, I love you Eiri, I really do!"

"I love you too, baby. Now let's just get you home so we can both rest."

Today has been a long day…far too long.
