Hohoho, happy halloween all~!
"Can't you warm that gloop up?" Izaya whined as the jelly for his ultrasound was spread.
"Nope," Shinra replied cheerily. Izaya glared at him but it faded when the twins appeared on the screen and he squeezed Shizuo's hand lightly.
"Haah! They're looking more and more like people Shizu-chan~!" He said, almost singing and Celty would have been smiling, but only Shinra could tell. She was pleased things had worked out between the two men.
Shinra smiled as well, "You want me to guess genders for you?" He asked and Izaya looked at Shizuo.
"Well, I wanna know…you?" Shizuo asked and Izaya grinned and nodded. Shinra had to move the metal wand around a bit, than nodded.
"I think one is male, but they're facing each other. It's hard to say really. I would say I'm sixty percent sure on one male and…I can't even hazard a guess at the other." He frowned trying to get a better angle.
"I guess we're going to be surprised either way then…" Shizuo sighed softly. Oh well. Izaya smiled happily.
"Yeah…but still! Oh heeey~! I want another picture Shinra-san! I want to show them off!" He said happily. Shinra smile and took the picture for the obviously proud parents-to-be. Shinra then measured Izaya's growth and nodded.
"I see you're buying large clothing now, Izaya-kun,"
"Yeah well, I do plan to fit back into my old stuff, I don't want it all stretched and they don't exactly have men's maternity wear yet." Celty perked a little and left the room then, returning with some clothing.
[I made these for you Izaya-san, I hope they fit] He opened the bag and grinned.
"Aww, thanks Celty-san~ I love it!" It was clothing like he usually wore…done in maternity patterns so he could stop buying clothing that didn't fit.
Izaya held Shizuo's hand as they walked down the street, ignoring the odd looks they got. He was obviously pregnant after all, and despite the news broadcast people were still having a hard time believing it. He leaned against Shizuo who smiled a little at him.
"Hungry?" The blonde asked and Izaya chuckled.
"Right now, always. I'm eating for three you know~" He said happily so the stopped in for something to eat. Erika seemed to be following them though, she was in there too and Shizuo groaned especially when she bounced over.
"Omigosh! Izaya-kun, you're getting so big!" She said, her eyes widening in fan girlish-happiness when she saw their hands together. Izaya couldn't help but grin at that comment though and eagerly showed her the ultrasound picture. He wanted to show everyone. Even Walker and Dota-chin came over and looked along with Mikado and Kida who also happened to be present at the time.
"Ahh~! I bet they'll be such pretty girls~!" Kida sang.
"If you touch either of them I'll have to practice my baseball swing on you Kida," Shizuo growled threateningly and Kida shut up then. Everyone else laughed though and Erika squealed about how Shizuo was already an uber-good father. Something he still wasn't sure about, but after speaking with Celty his violence level had reduced again, and vending machines were safe once more…for now.
They ate –Izaya was ravenous per usual—and headed home again Izaya insisting on another movie.
"You really love these things, huh?"
"Duh, bad movies are funny, and zombies represent humanity at its core and show us what humans are capable of~" He explained.
"Redneck Zombie doesn't, and Zombie Strippers was hardly something I would call 'representative of humanity' either," Shizuo said pointedly making Izaya laugh.
"Well, we're watching Three Extremes today~" He said cheerily and watched the film by three legendary directors.
Subtitles were needed for Dumplings and Cut, but he was alright with Box since it was in Japanese. Dumplings made Izaya run to the toilet though and Shizuo couldn't blame him given what happened on the screen and their own current situation. They safely made it through the other two but Izaya made him watch Box a couple of times until he actually understood what was going on. In another year he may enjoy dumplings as well…just not right now.
"Well, not one of my better ideas where Dumplings was concerned," Izaya mumbled and Shizuo kissed his temple lightly.
"Live and learn right?" He offered and Izaya nodded.
"Now I need a funny movie," He mumbled and Shizuo looked at what Izaya had.
"Feast?" Shizuo suggested and Izaya grinned and nodded.
"Sounds good to me," He said and that made them laugh –it was hard not to with that movie—wiping their minds of Dumplings.
Izaya didn't let Shizuo up though when the movie finished, instead turning the television off. He was half on his side atop Shizuo who had on arm wrapped around him when Shizuo and Izaya both felt something odd.
"Was that you?" Shizuo asked and Izaya touched his swollen abdomen when it came again.
"Sh-Shizu-chan…I think their kicking!" He said excitedly and Shizuo sat up –causing Izaya to do so as well.
"Really?" He asked, both hands moving to Izaya's abdomen, an uncontrollable grin spreading. Izaya's was identical, his eye's wide.
"They are! Feel that? Hah hah! That feels so weird!" He said as the sensation came again. It was fluttery, it felt almost like gas when it moved through the lower intestines but also very different.
"Wow…that's really them! " Shizuo said, nuzzling Izaya's neck happily and Izaya laughed.
"This is the strangest thing I've ever felt~!" He mumbled and Shizuo kissed his neck happily.
"Heh, I don't think I could sleep now," Shizuo exclaimed, he was just too happy to at the moment.
"Me neither," Izaya grinned, kissing Shizuo quickly, "But I could definitely go for some strawberries in cream~" Shizuo groaned but he was still smiling.
"Sugar on that too?"
"Yes please~" Though the raven man frowned a little when his blonde got up. Izaya's hands didn't leave his abdomen for a while that night until finally he fell asleep, leaning against Shizuo on the couch. Shizuo carried him to bed when this happened, his own smile not leaving his face even as he slept.
Seliphra: Short chapter, I know, sue me (
Izaya: No thanks...
Shizuo: There are movies with titles like that...for real?
Seliphra: Yes. All movies in this story are real movies. And I have seen every movie I mention.
Izaya: That's...kinda sad.
Shizuo: Yeah...
Seliphra: I know, I know, either way, review peeps! Which remindes me, credit is owed to www(dot)pregnancyguideonline(dot)com for helping me know all the facts so I can get them right. That's right. I have been researching since chapter one for accuracy.
