She-Who-Is-Sleep-Deprived has a new chapter for you, however this one was not Beta'd, Llama has backlogged a bit because she is busy, so you get the unpolished version. If you notice any grammatical errors please let me know right away so I can fix them. Thanks~

Celty was rather startled when she heard the crunch of the wall in the examination room. She walked in to see what the problem was and noticed that the chair for Shizuo was currently embedded in the wall and Shinra looked rather pale and frightened. Izaya and Shizuo both looked murderous and because she couldn't catch anyone's attention she couldn't ask what had happened.

"L-look, I was hardly expecting-"
"YOU KNEW THIS WAS A POSSIBILITY SHINRA!" Shizuo growled and Izaya simply glared coldly at the small doctor. Shinra noticed Celty at last and seemed to relax.
"Ahh~! Celty! Please save me," He said and Celty typed quickly.
[Must I?]

Shinra paled and Izaya smirked.
"Come here Shinra, so I can kill you," he said very softly and Shinra shook his head. Shizuo picked up another heavy object and Celty sighed inwardly before moving between them. Shizuo growled but finally set it back down.

[What happened?]
"S-seems they're having twins…" Shinra gulped and Celty was very surprised to hear this.
[Really? But none of the trials produced twins of any sort even when you tried to force the issue!]
"Do me a favour and tell them that! They seem to think I planned this part too!" He squeaked and his behind her some more. She showed them what she had written and Shizuo grumbled under his breath and retrieved the chair.

"F-fine, okay, umm…how is this going to affect things?" Izaya asked trying to calm himself and Shinra peeked out again.
"Well, all I can assume for now is you'll be bigger and we have to schedule the C-section more than a couple weeks before the due date," He said. "Celty can help with delivery since there will be two instead, but I'm sure it will be okay!" He assured.

[I will do what I can] the Dullahan promised. Izaya was a bit of a mess now though and groaned.
"I need chocolate," he mumbled, "with strawberries, peanut butter and ice cream…" Shizuo sighed.
"I'll make you something when we get home," He said and Izaya smiled weakly.

Shizuo managed to lose himself in thought as he watched Izaya eat his concoction. So far he had craved things with lots of sugar, or strawberries, but he hadn't gained that much weight either. Twins though? He'd been prepared for one baby –sort of— but two? This had thrown him off. At least they were both healthy according to Shinra and growing well. He'd even said they'd begun to move now, but Izaya still couldn't feel it. Said informant was also ravenous almost all the time and the grocery bill was getting larger, but at least Shizuo had a slightly better income now and Izaya made lots of money, more than enough for them to raise two children off of at least. He looked over at him when Izaya decided to snuggle up to him yet again, the concoction finished with, his empty bowl on the table.

"Why are you so clingy anyways?" He mumbled and Izaya shrugged.
"I'm hormonal and suddenly find you very nice as a pillow, deal with it," He replied and Shizuo sighed, his smile half-hearted. He didn't love Izaya by any means, but he'd avoided asking anyone out too. He knew that he couldn't do that when Izaya insisted on sharing a bed with him and said that only he would do when it came to snuggling. Besides, it seemed now that he would be getting sex either way, since Izaya had decided that was needed too. The real problem he had now was finding time to smoke –usually doing this while walking with Tom to collect on debts. The number of excuses he had to hear though made him irritated as hell and as a result a few roads were now missing yield signs.

"I need a smoke," He mumbled. It was his day off and as such he had been subjected to far too much cuddling and a movie called 'Paranormal Activity'. It was alright…certainly better than 'The Giant Claw' had been. As it turned out Izaya also enjoyed really bad movies. At least it had been funny though…

"You should quit you know, I mean, what kind of example to you want to set for the twins huh?"
"Eh…quitting's expensive," He grumbled but Izaya did let him go out on the balcony and have one. Once inside though he was subjected to more cuddling.

"What's this?"
"It's called Nicorette patches,"
"Okay, why?"
"You said quitting was too expensive, so if I buy it then it's no big deal. I don't want you smoking; I mean what if you get sick or something? You should think about your children,"
"Err…I thought YOU called them blastocysts?"

"Ne, ne Shizu-chan, they WERE blastocysts, NOW they're fetus' silly~"
"…Right, whatever, but why do I have to-"
"Because YOU are going to be a role model to them, so you'd better start acting like a good one," And that was that. Izaya was not going to budge on the matter no matter how cool Shizuo may look smoking. These were his children they were talking about and he was not about to be lenient on the matter. Shizuo seemed to figure out that despite his jovial tone he was very serious and the man sighed.

"All right, I give. I'll…try,"
"Do or do not, there is no try," Izaya quoted and Shizuo frowned.
"You know Star Wars?"
"I know everything plebeian," He grinned and Shizuo shook his head and started reading instructions. Izaya watched him, frowning at his heart rate picking up like this whenever Shizuo did…well, anything really. He was starting to hate Shizuo more than ever for this, these new feelings he wasn't used to feeling. He knew anger and contempt and he knew love since he loved his humans, but this was…different. This made his chest ache painfully when Shizuo said he hated him, and made his heart skip when the man did something nice. This made him happy when Shizuo was there and sad when he wasn't and much as he'd like to blame this all on pregnancy hormones he knew it couldn't be the case. No one else was doing this to him, not Shinra, or Celty or Shiki or anyone. Just Shizuo…and Izaya hated him for it. It was a much different hate then he used to feel for the blonde man.

"Alright, seems straight forwards enough," He muttered and opened the first box, reading more instructions. He then took one patch and stuck it on his arm like he was supposed to but he didn't look overly pleased about it either. Izaya smiled winningly at him and kissed him on the cheek which made Shizuo give him an odd look.

"Aw, you know you'll beat it~" He teased and Shizuo grumbled something about hormones, making Izaya chuckle.

"So, I um…can make the announcement?" Shinra asked and Izaya sighed.
"I'm showing more and more Shinra-san, it's not going to be long before my clothing ceases to hide it. You may as well get it out of the way…" Izaya yawned and stretched a little. He did wish Shizuo was here though and that irritated him more than a bit.

"Does Shizuo-san know you're letting me do this? I mean I'm gonna have to name names, and you're going to be on the news…this is going to be huge you know," He said and Izaya sighed. He pulled his phone out and sent a quick text to the blonde. Izaya grinned in amusement when he got a reply.

"Seems he's coming home early~" He said and Shinra smiled weakly and texted Celty to get to the apartment and FAST.

"Okay, let me get this straight, you want to announce to the ENTIRE WORLD that Izaya-kun is pregnant and that I'm the father?"
"Err…yes?"
"And the media will be circling us like vultures?"
"Ah heh…yes,"
"And you're really okay with this Izaya-kun?"
"It's that or I wear a dress. And I am NOT wearing a dress," Shizuo gulped at the glare that he got with that statement and nodded.

"I guess I haven't got a choice in this huh?"
"Not really Shizu-chan, no,"
"…..Fine, just…fine," He knew Erika was going to positively die. Shinra visibly relaxed when Shizuo didn't try to kill him and Celty typed something to Shinra.
"Ah…I guess you weren't, sorry sweetie,"

"Shizu-chan~ it's on, are you watching?" Izaya chirped into the phone.
"No, I'm not near a television flea, how can I watch? We're on our way to a collection," was the reply. Izaya smiled a little.
"Well, find one, this is going to be ground breaking you know,"
"I know, I know, I just…whatever, I gotta go,"

"Okay, and don't forget to bring more strawberry ice cream, we're all out!"
"Already? I just got the tub two days ago!"
"Yes, now bring me more~ Ja ne!" He hung up and turned the television up.

"He's in here?" Shizuo asked and gulped a little. Of all the places there had to be a television. And what do you know, Erika was there with Walker and Dota-chin. On the upside the bar was less crowded then usual and Tom made his way to the balding man to ask for the money back. Shizuo glanced nervously at the television and to his horror the sound was on.

"We have big news tonight, a young doctor it seems has made a medical breakthrough in, get this, pregnancy. Yes, you heard right, the scientific community is reeling in shock with the news, a new drug that can allow men to get pregnant." A loud squeal was heard from Erika at this point and urged them to turn it up.

"This new drug is currently in its first human trial right here in Japan. The trial couple live between Ikebukuro and Shinjuku in Tokyo, and are currently at 11 and a half weeks in to the first ever pregnancy of a human male." Erika was blinking rapidly now, but the other patrons were listening with rapt attention. Even Tom seemed to have forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. Shizuo was trying to look invisible.

"The trial pair was confirmed to indeed be pregnant with an ultrasound in the presence of no less than fourteen doctors and blood and DNA tests to prove the carrier was, in fact, male. The men in question were named in the study as Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima and…" The rest seemed to fall on deaf ears though as there was a minor uproar. Everyone was also looking at Shizuo in shock that he would ever bed the man he claimed to loathe.

"I KNEW IT! I KNEW SHIZAYA IS REAL! OMIGOD WALKER THAT'S TOTALLY WHY IZAIZA WAS SOOO MAD AT US A COUPLE WEEKS AGO!" Shizuo was wishing he could disappear right about now.
"Sh-Shizuo, is…is this true?" Tom managed to ask and everyone turned to look at him more directly…things got silent.

"Y-yes. It is," He managed to choke out in embarrassment. Another small uproar from Erika which was settled quickly enough with another question.
"H-how long have you two been…?" Shizuo coughed in embarrassment. Why did the announcement have to be now?
"Err…we aren't…not really," He muttered and Erika frowned.

"Oh come on! You got him knocked up, that means you slept with him!" She pointed out.
"How do you know Shizuo isn't the one pregnant?"
"Because it's Shizaya, not Izuo!"
"It was a one night thing! That's it! Then…this happened and now I'm stuck with the bloody flea!" His temper was rising but there were more questions and when he tried to escape he was cut off.

"That's it!" He picked up something heavy and they scattered.
"Right, I'm going home, see you Tom," He growled and headed out, now unimpeded, "Ah wait…where's the nearest spot with large tubs of ice cream?"

"Umm…that way?" Erika pointed.
"Good. Can I get strawberry there?"
"…why does it matter?" Tom asked and Shizuo sighed.
"Because if it isn't strawberry, Izaya will probably kill me," Erika swooned and Tom nodded.
"I'll…show you," He muttered and they went to get some. Shizuo had a hard time of it though since everybody in Ikebukuro knew who he was.

"I swear to God flea, this better last," Shizuo said as he came through the door. Izaya bounced over and grinned in delight. The blonde man carried a good six four litre tubs of strawberry ice cream which promptly went in to the deep freezer.

"Eh, maybe a week," He said cheerily, though he knew life was about to be very different indeed.

Seliphra: *yawns then crawls in bed*
Izaya: *Drags her back out* Get out of bed and keep writing damn it! The sooner you finish this fic, the sooner I can stop being pregnant!
Shizuo: *Hides from hormonal Izaya*
Seliphra: B-but...sleep...
Izaya: And YOU! Readers! DON'T THINK I CAN'T SEE YOU! REVIEW!
Shizuo: Better do what he says...lest you face the wrath of hormonal Izaya...
