Chapter 12: Life goes On

sysysysysysysysys

Ryuichi had headed back to Tokyo not long after leaving the hospital. He had plans he was going to put on a little act for his 'best friend.' Tohma was not going to get away with treating Shuichi like that.

He would do what ever it took to see Shuichi happy, no matter what he had to do. He loved his Predecessor, but he knew that he wasn't what shuichi needed. So, he was happy to sit back and watch...help.

Yuki had stopped pacing hours ago, he sat staring out at the sky. She had been born he could feel it. It was the only thing that made sense as to why he felt his way. It terrified him, because that would mean that she was a premie. He grabbed his laptop from his bed, and opened it. He searched premature births, he found a site that listed what was most likely to be expected depending on how far along the pregnancy was. He looked up doing the math in his head, if Shuichi had been 2 months when he left that would make him 7 months and some change. if he was more then that well then she would probably be fine, but if he was less then that. he clicked on 6 months, and read through it. He then moved on to 7 months, and read through it a bit more thornily. he didn't want to think that Shuichi had only been a month along, there was just no way that brat could have pulled off all the steps to hide himself so well, in less then a month.

It looked like they where looking at lung problems. Of course the 'they' in that was belief on his part that Shuichi hadn't grown up the past 5 months. He could hope at least.

"Ryuichi?" Tohma said a little shocked to see the singer storm into his office. He stood up and rounded his desk, to greet him. He didn't register what had happen until he was on the floor with a bleeding lip. He looked at Ryuichi who's eyes where a light with fire.

"You bastard" he hissed, Tohma pushed himself up looking at his enraged friend.

"What is wrong?" He asked wiping his lip on his sleeve.

"You had no right to talk to Shuichi like that" He said venom in his voice, in a way that Tohma had heard in his voice.

"What are you talking about?" he asked his own eyes narrowing.

"Threatening to take away his baby" Ryuichi screamed at him, his fist raised again. Tohma how ever was not going to be sucker punched again. He brought up his guard, catching the punch this time. How ever Ryuichi was ready for that and kicked him in the side.

Tohma stumbled back, holding his side. It had been a long time since they had actually fought. It had been close to 10 years, if not longer.

"You're a son of a bitch" Ryuichi said, "do you know where I was this morning?" he asked. Tohma shook his head, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Want to take a guess?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "no, well let me tell you. I was in the hospital with Shuichi. He went into early labor, She didn't even live an hour" Ryuichi had tears of anger in his eyes.

"Its dead?" Tohma asked looking at his friend

"SHE...she had a name, a room, she was a person. Or are you just that heartless" Ryuichi screamed at him.

"She? I was a girl?" Tohma asked his eyes starting to cloud over. The last time Mika and him had tried, they had made it far enough to know the gender, it was going to be a girl.

"Yeah that's right, just like your dead one" Ryuichi said going to for the lowest blow now, "he feels just like Mika did. You would honestly wish that on him what about Yuki if he finds out? He will feel just like you did, or don't you care?" Ryuichi said softly his eyes accusing. Tohma stood there, by referring to the...baby as anything but, he had been able to distance himself from it. Act like what he was doing wouldn't have hurt both him and Mika if someone had done it to them. But at the same time he was Tohma Seguchi, no one dared to mess with him, he was one of the most dangerous men in Japan.

"Glade to see you see what you did now" Ryuichi said, "now I am going to make something very clear for you. I will not sing again until the day that Shuichi and I can appear together again. I don't care what you say or do, for me Shuichi comes first now" and with that he stormed back out of the office slamming the door behind him.

Shuichi sat holding Laylee in his arms, she had starting fussing again the minute a nurse had come in to feed her. Shuichi had requested to do it, and after the nurse showed him what he needed to know, he had feed his daughter.

Right now all he could do was stare memorized by the tuff of blond hair on her head. So much like Yuki's, he wondered what color her eyes would be. He half hoped they would be gold like Yuki's, the other half though hoped they weren't he didn't know how he would handle having a constant reminder of the man he'd left behind.

Shuichi was pulled from his thoughts by fussing coming from his arms. He looked down at Laylee, he gasped to see her eyes open looking at him. All he could do was stare at her in shock, her eyes seemed to pierce his soul. It was silly he know but he felt as if she was staring at him accusingly.

What shocked him the most though was the fact that her eyes where different colors. While her left eye was Yuki's magnificent gold, her right eye was his own royal purple. He let the tears fall, she was the perfect mix. Only a fool would try to say that the beautiful girl was not the daughter of the novelist and the singer.

"Shhh, shhhh it's alright Mama's here" he said softly, she seemed to quiet at his words. Shuichi smiled, he could do this. He could be the mother his little girl deserved.

Sakito insisted they stay in the hospital a few days more before she was willing to release either Shuichi or Laylee. While she assured Shuichi that Laylee was completely healthy time and again, it did nothing to keep him from panicking every time she sneezed funny. Lucky for her Sora was there to play the reassuring mother/grandmother. She helped to keep Shuichi calm and understand that just because Laylee hiccuped did not mean something was wrong.

Although had made a slightly annoying discovery, Laylee was a colic baby. She never seemed to find a time that she wasn't screaming her lungs out unless she was asleep. And she would only do that if she was in Shuichi's arms. The minute he put her down she would start screaming again.

All she could do was hope that Shuichi was ready when they went home. She knew that the first few months could make or break a single parent. She really hoped that Shuichi would hold strong. Because the road was not going to be easy. This was what he choose though and she could only stand back and watch.

Ryuichi sat on his bed staring at the photo he was supposed to give to Eiri Yuki. Somehow he just couldn't seem to do it, it felt like the timing was off or something. Ryuichi pulled out his phone to call Shuichi but then, shook his head. He stood up and decided to go on a mini-vacation again. He'd go and stay in Kyoto with Shuichi and Laylee.

Ryuichi got into Kyoto around the same time that Shuichi and Laylee where released from the hospital to go home. Ryuichi called Sora and told her that he would go and get Shuichi's apartment ready for the two of them.

He went through quickly making sure that everything was stocked up. He set up the infant pillows on Shuichi's bed so that Laylee could be in bed with him.

Shuichi smiled at Ryu as they entered the house. Shuichi went straight for the rocking chair in the nursery. As he sat down he began to softly sing In the Moonlight as he rocked with Laylee.

Ryuichi, Fuji, and Sora watched them with small smiles. It was obvious that Shuichi missed his lover. Ryuichi knew more then anyone else here what that song meant to the J-Pop Prince.

Things slowly returned to normal...well as normal as life could be with a screaming baby added into it. Ryuichi and Shuichi had talked about the picture. Shuichi had taken it back reluctantly. It had taken him awhile to figure out what to do with it. Then the idea had literally hit him on the head. He had been straightening up Laylee's room some when a Baby book had fallen of the shelf. He stared at it, for a few minutes and then smiled. He would make a book, one day it would give it to Yuki...or it would become Laylee's when she was older.

Yuki looked at the pictures that had been produced for his children's book. Only a quarter where done, but the rest had outlines. He was more then willing to be patient, Mizuki had received a call from Yuna, saying that she was going to be a little slow since she had just had a baby. At hearing this news Yuki had been very tempted to go back to the bookstore and confront Sora again. She had been very adamant that she had no idea who the 'woman' using her daughters name was. He was now starting to see the loop holes she'd left in their conversation.

The pictures where slowly convincing him that 'Yuna Yukimora' might just be Shuichi Shindou. The only thing that bothered him about this theory was the fact that he didn't think the other man could drawl.
