Haruka looked at the clock on the wall and frowned. She was supposed to be home an hour ago but filming took a little longer than expected and now, she was stuck at work on an important day. "Okay, good take!" the director called, signalling the end of work for Haruka. "Okay people, thanks for your hard work! Sorry that it took a little longer than expected today but good work, everyone!"

Haruka gave the director a simple smile and nod before rushing off to her changing room. She didn't even bother taking off the make-up, only changing back into her own clothes and rushed off before everyone else.

The journey home seemed to take longer than usual as Haruka was anxious to get home. Today was a special day and she wasn't going to miss it for the world. The moment she saw her house, Haruka let out a smile and fished out her keys before she even got into the elevator and pressed for the penthouse.

When she opened the door, she was greeted warmly by her son. "Mama!"

"Hikaru!" Haruka smiled, closing the door with her foot and hugged her son tightly. "Sorry I'm late, Hikaru. Work took a bit longer than expected. But will you wait a little while longer? I'm just going to get change," she said. Haruka noticed Aomine and Chinatsu already in the house and gave them a nod, looking at Hikaru. "You can play with Uncle Ao and Makoto-chan in the mean time."

Hikaru shook his head and clung onto his mother, gripping her clothes tightly. "It's my birthday, mama. You promised to be with me," Hikaru pouted and looked up at her with his bright red eyes. Haruka bent down and kissed him on his forehead.

"I know. But five minutes," she said, holding her pinky out. "Give me five minutes to change, okay? I promise I'll be with you after five minutes."

Hikaru nodded, taking up the offer and hooked his small pinky with Haruka's and pressed his thumb against hers. Haruka smiled and pushed Hikaru gently to Makoto, Aomine's three-year-old daughter, who was playing with Hikaru's toys. Haruka rushed up the stairs, going into her walk-in closet and stripped, putting on different clothes.

"Did we really have to get him a dog?" Akashi asked, entering the closet and reached for a tie but Haruka slapped his hand away. She frowned at him and shook her head, getting him a different shirt and made Akashi change. "You spoil him too much, Haruka."

"He's my son, I'm allowed to spoil him," Haruka said, doing the buttons up for Akashi before smiling at him. "No tie. You look better without a tie," she said, pulling him close and kissed him on the lips. "And we already got the dog so we're giving him the dog as a present," Haruka insisted, leaving the closet and went into their bedroom.

Akashi followed behind and pulled Haruka into his arms. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Let me hold you for a while," he whispered, closing his eyes as he held Haruka. She smiled a little and stroked his hand, gripping it. "Haruka, quit your job. That way, you can always be with Hikaru and I can see you everyday."

"What are you talking about? I love my job," Haruka said. "And when you're away, it's always for a longer period of time."

"Don't argue with me. Quit your job. You can't work and take care of two children."

"Two children?"

Akashi moved his hand and pressed it gently on Haruka's belly. "Looks like we're having another one," he said. "Must be another boys."

Haruka pressed her hand on top of Akashi's and frowned a little. "Another baby?" she asked softly and gripped his hand tightly.

"Are you scared?" Haruka nodded. "There's nothing to be afraid of. Look at Hikaru. He's growing up just fine. I know what you're thinking. Hikaru was born premature but this baby will be just fine. I'll be there all the time. If you want, I can go on hiatus from basketball until you have the baby."

"We don't even know yet. I'll get a test done first."

"You don't trust me?"

"I want to solidify it."

"Mama!"

Haruka pulled away from Akashi and groaned softly. "Damn it..." she mumbled softly and took her husband's hand, pulling him along. "We'll talk about this later," she said. They went down the stairs and Hikaru was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs, frowning deeply. "Sorry, honey," she smiled, kissing his cheek. "I'm here now."

"Makoto-chan took my doggy," Hikaru said, pointing at the blue-haired girl who looked up at Hikaru and smirked a little. Hikaru frowned at her and looked at Akashi. "Papa, she took my doggy."

"Finder's keeper. It's mine now!" Makoto giggled, running to her father.

"Let her have that one," Akashi said and picked Hikaru up into his arms. "Because mama and papa got you a better one," he smiled, going to the study room.

Akashi opened the door, revealing a puppy on a leash tied to the table. Hikaru's eyes widened in excitement and looked at his father. "Is it for me?!" he gasped, hugging Akashi tightly. "Thank you, papa!" Hikaru struggled and wriggled, getting out of Akashi's arms and ran over to the puppy though he backed away a little when the puppy jumped at him.

Akashi went to put a hand on the puppy's head to show Hikaru that it wasn't scary but the puppy jumped and pawed at Akashi instead. Seeing his father a little flustered made Hikaru giggle. The small boy wasn't scared of the puppy anymore and hugged the puppy.

"Can I call him Karu?"

"Karu?"

"Like Hikaru without the Hi. He's Akashi Karu."

Akashi smiled and nodded, untying the puppy from the table. The puppy instantly jumped at Hikaru who hugged the puppy. Hikaru took the leash and ran out, going to show the puppy off to Makoto. "I told you it was worth it," Haruka said. "Look at how happy you are just seeing him smile."

"Don't act like you know everything. That's my role."

"Mura-kun is here with Kaoru-san," Haruka said. "They made a cake for Hikaru."

Akashi closed the study room door behind him and took Haruka's hand in his, going to greet his friends. By then, Midorima had also arrived with Natsuki who immediately doted on Hikaru. "Happy birthday, Hikaru," Natsuki smiled. "Your Uncle Midorima said this is your lucky item but really, I think he's just looking for an excuse to get you a gift."

"This is Karu!" Hikaru grinned, holding the puppy in his arms. "Mama and papa gave me Karu!"

"Oh wow! I don't think our present would be very much to you then. How old are you today, Hikaru?"

Hikaru held up four fingers proudly and grinned. "I'm a big boy now!"

"Only Kise-kun left and we can start the party," Haruka said, looking at the clock. "Did he say he's working today? Does anyone know?"

"He said he has a surprise for us," Aomine said, looking at his phone. "And that he might be a little late but that's it."

Speak of the devil and the doorbell rang. Akashi went to open the door and was greeted by a cheerful Kise. "You didn't mention bringing someone else," Akashi said, letting Kise and his partner in.

"Everyone else brought their other half. It's only natural that I do too," Kise grinned, walking in. "Look who's here!"

"Kiyoko-san!"

"Hi..." Kiyoko smiled and looked at the small red head who stared at her with big red eyes. "You must be the birthday boy. Happy birthday," she said, handing her present over. Hikaru stared at her and asked her what the present was, making everyone laugh. "You can only find out when you open it but here's a clue, it's a sports equipment."

"Mama, let's sing the song so we can open the presents!" Hikaru shouted, letting the puppy down and held onto Kiyoko's present tightly, running to the dining table where the cake was set up.

Hikaru climbed onto the chair and stood on it, anxiously calling his parents over. Haruka lit the candles and everyone sang the birthday song for Hikaru. As soon as the song finished, Hikaru went to blow the candles out but Haruka stopped him. "You're supposed to make a wish first, Hikaru," she said. "You can't just blow out of the candles."

"I wish to open my presents now," Hikaru said, blowing out the candles and jumped off the chair, going over to his presents. He opened Kiyoko's present which looked like the biggest one and took out the basketball wrapped inside the box. "It's a ball," he blinked.

"It's a basketball," Haruka said. "Remember papa's job? What does papa play?"

"Basketball!"

Hikaru grinned and opened his other presents. From Aomine and Chinatsu, a pair of basketball trainers. From Midorima and Natsuki, a custom-made Rakuzan jersey with the number 4 on it. From Murasakibara and Kaoru, a sports bag completed with towels and a water bottle. "Looks like you're ready to join my team," Akashi smiled.

"Mama, I want to put this on!" Hikaru said, holding the jersey and went to his mother. "Mama!"

"Okay, okay," Haruka smiled, taking the jersey and changed his clothes for him. "Oh wow, now you look exactly like papa!"

"Papa, look!"

While the Akashi family was enjoying their son's birthday and his presents, the other couples looked at each other. "I want to go home now," Aomine said and Chinatsu gave him a look. "I want to go home and make a baby with you. We need to have a son so this can happen."

"I want a baby too," Murasakibara said. "It'll be fun to play basketball with my son."

"Shintaro!" Natsuki grinned but before she even continued her sentence, Midorima already knew what she was going to say.

"No way," Midorima said. "We agreed on not having children because it'll be too much burden on your heart, remember?"

"I'm healthy now, Shintaro."

"I'm not taking the risk."

"You secretly want to have a baby too."

While the couples were discussing their future regarding children, Haruka was cutting up the cake and Makoto stood next to her. Haruka smiled and cut a big slice for the Aomine girl and handed the plate over. Makoto's eyes widened with joy as she took the cake, going to share it with Hikaru. "Where's Kise-kun and Kiyoko-san?" Haruka asked, handing the cake out.

"He said something about making a mini Kise," Murasakibara said, taking the cakes from Haruka.

"You're making everyone want a baby, Hikaru," Haruka grinned.

"Truly an Akashi. Superior even as a child," Akashi smiled.
