For the next few months Shuichi lived off the saving account that he had set up with all his money. While it was quite large, he didn't want to live off it until it ran out. He wanted to get a job, maybe if he had something to do in the day he wouldn't miss Yuki so much. Although he probably hadn't helped his case missing Yuki by started to listen to Yuki's books on CD. True they were morbid, and sad. But, in a way Shuichi felt closer to the blond man then before when he listen to the novels.
Shuichi, had finished decorating the room for his little bundle of joy. He'd decided to leave the walls white and had placed rainbows and clouds all over the walls. He was showing now, but was carrying rather low, and since he had taken to wearing baggy cloths no one could tell he was pregnant, or pudgy as they would assume a guy was. He pulled on his gray sweats and pink and orange top. They where snugger then the rest of his cloths but they where nicer. And considering he was going to job interview after his appointment, he could deal with having to keep a sweat shirt on or something.

Yuki had searched, he'd called every one. Including Shuichi's parents only to find out they had disowned him when he came out. Leaving Yuki to wonder what else his lover hadn't ever told him about himself. The others had helped for a while, bit now at 5 months missing the others where dyeing off, even Hiro. Yuki took a long drag from his cigarette, staring at the framed photo of he and Shuichi, he had been taken back stage of one of the brats concerts. Something inside Yuki broke, he stood up and grabbed the picture, throwing it across the room.
"GOD DANM IT SHUICHI! HOW AM I...suppose to protect you if I don't know where you are" his voice cracking in the middle the search had taken its toll on him. His stress levels were maxing out. He had call Mizuki and said he was going on sabbatical. His Publisher had been furious at him, yelling that he still had a dead line to meet. But he hadn't cared hanging up on the woman.
He fell to his knees coughing, he looked at his hands seeing red on them and on the floor in front off him. Somewhere in the back of his mind he registered the sound of the front door opening and closing, foot steps coming over to him. And yet he still jumping when someone laid a hand on his shoulder, he looked fast hoping it would be Shuichi. His hope was shattered when he saw it was only Tohma, who was looking at him in concern. He hated that look, it normally meant that the older blond was about to lecture the younger one.
"Eiri this is not what Shuichi wanted for you" Tohma said softly, "he wants you to be happy. He left so that you would not have to face the stress of a baby, as well as himself. He was being a responsible person for onc..." Yuki cut him off standing and shoving him away.
"Don't you dare speak about Shuichi and what he wants. You don't even like him, you'd be just as happy if not happier if they fished his body out of the river." Yuki yelled at him, his eyes filled with fire.
"That boy only brought more stress into your life. For once he was doing the right thing, and you don't seem to care about his wishes not to be found." Tohma said
"Shuichi left because he was pregnant with MY SON OR DAUGHTER" He yelled at him, quickly realizing what he had done. Never once around any one can called the child his, in fact most of them thought he really only wanted Shuichi and was willing to humor the boy so that he could have him.
"Eiri, you have never wanted a child. Why now suddenly do you want one" Tohma said his ever calm back in place.
"Because now that it's possible, it means that's one more piece of myself I can share with him. I may be the worst father ever, but I deserve to know my own child, and have the man I love" he hissed though clenched teeth "now get out" another wave of coughs racked him as more blood spilled from his mouth.

Shuichi sat reading one of the magazines in the waiting room for his doctor's office. He couldn't wait, today was the appointment where he had decided he wanted to know the sex of his baby. He couldn't wait to see what he was having. He looked up putting the magazine down as a nurse called him back. He was left in the exam room to wait for his Doctor once his weight and temp where taking.
After what felt like an entreaty to the man his Doctor, a woman named Mary Sakito, entered. He liked Dr. Sakito, he had believed him the minute he had said he was pregnant and looking for a doctor to treat him and keep it quiet.
"Hello Shuichi are you excited" she asked with a smile, as he pulled out the ultrasound gel. Shuichi nodded as he laid back, she pulled his shirt up.
Shuichi couldn't help but shiver at the cold gel, as it was spread across his stomach. Sakito took up the Scanner and slowly moved it around his stomach. They both looked at the screen.
"Oh, there she is" Dr. Sakito said pointing at a part of the screen.
"She? I'm having a little girl?" Shuichi asked getting excited now
"Yeah, and everything here looks good for 27 weeks." She said printing out a copy of the picture for him. She then hanged him a towel so he could clean himself off. She grabbed her measuring tape and had Shuichi stand up, she took a quick measurement and nodded writing it down in his chart.
Shuichi left the office about 20 minutes later. He glanced at his watch he had some time before his interview, and his little princess had decided butter pecan ice-cream craving was in order. Shuichi got off of the train in the section of the city his interview was in. He found an ice cream parlor and ordered his ice cream. as he walked eating he took in the environment of the neighborhood, he started to notice a few things their where same sex couples all over the place. ((think like the Castro District, i have no idea if such an area exist in japan)) He smiled at a few couples as he passed them. they all nodded back, Shuichi stopped outside the book store he was interviewing at and finished his ice cream cone.
After making sure his appearance was in order he entered the book store. It was small but cozy. He liked it right away, it felt comfortable. Walking up to the front counter he smiled at the elderly woman that was manning the cash register. She smiled back at him.
"Hi, my name is Shuichi. I have an interview today" he said looking at her. She smiled wider at him.
"I'm Sora Nataki, my husband and I own this store" she said coming out from behind the register.
" Very nice to meet you ma'm" he said bowing.
"Please have a seat. While I go get my husband" she said motioning to the small table in the corner. Shuichi sat down watched how everything seemed so calm. How everything was in order. He smiled, he liked it here. Now he really hoped he would get the job here. Shuichi became lost in this thoughts until the woman returned with an elderly man. Shuichi tried to stand fast it was awkward getting up when you where almost 7 months pregnant. Shuichi noticed Sora looking at him strangely and smiled at her sheepishly before bowing to the man. And introducing himself by first name only, he didn't give out his last name to any one unless he knew he could trust them not to go blabbing.
"I am Fuji, please sit back down" he said smiling, he liked this boy. Sora was right he did remind him of his daughter,Yuna. they went through interview and by the end of it they where both sold on having Shuichi work in the store, he was so much like their daughter the original owner of the store.
"You're hired" Sora said, "I'll show you around and we'll go over what you'll be doing" Shuichi stood slowly fallowing after her as Fuji went to watch the register. As they walked through the store Sora noticed small things about the way Shuichi acted, as well as how he held himself. After about an hour they sat down to talk, the first thing that came out of Sora's mouth she could have kicked herself for.
"When are you due?" she asked, what she had observed made since her in mind for a pregnant woman. Her eyes got wide as she turned red. Shuichi stared at her wide eyed, for a second before smiling softly. He felt a maternal bond with this woman, something he had never really felt with his own mom. He rested his hands on his stomach.
"In about 2 months" he said softly watching her face. Now it was Sora's time to look wide eyed. She then broke out into a bright smile.
"That's wonderful, you're boyfriend must be thrilled. This isn't something you two probably ever expected" she said happily. Shuichi looked down at the word Boyfriend, she saw this and reached over placing a hand on his shoulder.
"He doesn't want kids" He said softly, "told me early in our relationship."
"Oh, honey he'll come to his senses" she said moving and hugging him. Shuichi nodded liking the feeling of having someone care about his happiness.
Shuichi left for the day, after Sora had insisted on him having Dinner with them. It had been good, and they had had lots of fun just talking. He walked towards the subway to head home, he stopped sort though when he thought he heard someone call his name.
"Shuichi?" he looked back to see who it was now sure he had heard his name, his eyes went wide as he saw who had called to him.
