Hmm. The next chapter is the last one...please dun hate me fer that~ Also...eh...nevermind...I hope you all enjoy this one~

Three weeks confined to a bed and Izaya wanted to die. He was so bored! Watching his abdomen bulge suddenly had been entertaining at first, but now he was bored! He could practically feel his brain cells dying, but on the bright side people were visiting him now. Shizuo also made sure his laptop –now permanently plugged into the wall next to him—was nearby so he could even log on and chat with people on the dollars site. Celty visited a couple times because she knew he was bored, and she still seemed to be feeling guilty about her role in his current situation. Erika even came over once with Walker and they tried to entertain him, but they ended up just pissing him off. Currently Kasuka was here, but he wasn't really company either being so…Kasuka-ish. At least he had someone there to grab anything he needed while Shizuo was gone, though Kasuka could hardly carry him to the bathroom like Shizuo would.

"Home," He heard Shizuo call and Izaya smiled. Thank God…oh wait, that was Izaya anyways!
"Welcome home brother. I need to be going," He heard Kasuka's monotone voice from the hallway.
"Yeah, thanks for looking after Izaya," He heard Shizuo say and then he heard Shizuo's footfalls coming towards him as he heard Kasuka leaving.

"Welcome home Shizu-chan~" Izaya grinned and Shizuo smiled, going right over to him and climbing in bed next to him.
"How was work?" Izaya asked, leaning in to him automatically. He was allowed to sit up in bed at least.
"Eh…I managed not to destroy anything," He shrugged and put an arm around Izaya. Shizuo always made a point to spend all his home time with Izaya and relieve his boredom as best he could.
"Shinra will be here tomorrow. The twins reach viability this week," Izaya spoke softly now, knowing that meant that if anything got worse now, they were coming. Shizuo gulped realizing they had no nursery.

"Ahh…um. I think we need a nursery…" He said and Izaya blinked and laughed.
"Ha-ha! I guess we do! I never even thought about it! I can't very well help pick stuff out though," He pouted and Shizuo frowned.
"What if…we had Celty go to a baby supply store and take pictures of everything? Then we can pick right here at home right?" Shizuo suggested and Izaya grinned a little.
"You'd still have to make it you know~" He teased and Shizuo blushed a little at that.

"I can make things you know," He grumbled.
"I thought your job was to break things~?"
"Shut it you," Shizuo kissed him with that to keep him from talking and Izaya sighed. Oh how he wished it could go further right now! He was horny, but Shinra had said no sex and he knew Shizuo would not indulge him no matter how he begged, pleaded or teased him.

Shizuo texted Celty a little later and the next morning she was there with pictures of everything from cribs to strollers to onesies. Celty seemed rather excited by the prospect of helping any way she could. Izaya wondered if she wanted children too and he frowned a little at the thought of her not being able to have any with Shinra. It wasn't hard to pick some things out, and other things Izaya knew Shizuo only agreed to because he wanted them.

They couldn't pick out anything too gender specific though since Shinra still had no idea what gender they were, even after that days ultrasound. Seemed the twins were facing each other, and despite this managed not to hit each other once. Not that they saw on the ultrasound anyways, and they did see them kicking. Izaya felt them too and it was weird to see and feel it at the same time. It made him giggly too, but it was more interesting than having to sit around doing nothing again. He was just grateful his own twin sisters hadn't tried to 'take care' of him yet.

"Well, negative on gestational diabetes," Shinra told him and Izaya was happy to hear that test was negative. Shizuo seemed relieved too. The last thing they needed was another complication. Izaya's blood pressure was holding steady at too high though, but at least he wasn't in the danger zone yet.

"Celty-chan which one?" Izaya asked then, holding the two cribs they'd narrowed it down to. They liked both, but Shizuo preferred one while Izaya wanted the other. She seemed startled, then highly pleased and pointed to Izaya's choice. Shizuo scowled a little but sighed.
"Guess I've been out-voted," He grumbled, but he was trying to hide a smile. Shinra seemed pleased that Celty was allowed to help.

"Hmm…now the paint colours…" Izaya said looking at the different selections.
"Should I go?" Shinra asked and Izaya grinned.
"Nah, stay and help Shinra-san, you and Celty are required," He said and Celty looked like she would be in tears of joy if she could cry. Shinra knew she wanted children, but they couldn't exactly have any…baby-sitting would have to do.

"I like the blue though," Shizuo mumbled and Izaya shook his head.
"Too gender biased, we don't know for sure,"
[What about white with gold trim?]
"Ahh, my wifey has the best fashion sense~"
"It…could work," Shizuo nodded.
"Settled then! White with gold trim." Izaya declared and then it was strollers. They agreed on that one, it was a bit large, but it would fit both the twins for quite a while and they could carry other things with it as well. They couldn't pick much in the way of clothing yet, due to the uncertainty of gender. They could pick a few toys out though –Izaya wanted to get all of them but Shizuo refused to raise spoiled children.

Celty and Shinra left soon after they had everything picked out –Celty offering to pick the things up to which Izaya had handed her a rather large sum of cash and told her to have fun—and Shizuo stayed by Izaya's side.

"We need to think of God Parents for them too," He reminded. He'd rather nothing happened to them, but if something did they would have someone to turn to.
"Well…we have a few options on that front don't we?" Izaya said with a note of sarcasm. Neither of them had many friends they would trust enough for that duty.

"I know, I know. I don't think anyone we're related to," Shizuo said and Izaya agreed emphatically. Mairu, Kururi and Kasuka were not three people he'd want looking after children of any kind, let alone his own. Not to say anything against them…they just weren't trustworthy…well, not the Orihara sisters anyways. Kasuka was just always busy and in the lime-light.

"Hmm…I think no one we work for either," Izaya said. He didn't want the Yakuza men or gang leaders he often worked for getting their hands on his babies. Shizuo agreed knowing that while Tom was probably perfectly good with children, it might be just a bit odd to ask that of your boss when you've known them for almost no time at all.

"I guess…that leaves one option huh?" Izaya smiled knowing they would accept.
"You mean…?"
"Of course. They'll be happy to you know,"
"Yeah…I know they'll be overjoyed by it, but…you sure?"
"It's not like they're a corrupting influence…worse than us." Izaya pointed out, "and it seems like the logical thing given everything,"
"Yeah. I guess so, I mean, why not right?" Shizuo kissed Izaya's forehead happily.

[Here, this is everything, and the change] Celty was back with…well…almost all of it. The crib had to be shipped then assembled along with the other furniture items.

"Thanks Celty-san~ Oh, there was something we wanted to ask you, but find Shinra first, ne?" Izaya cheered and Celty stiffened a little, worried.
[Are you going to kill us now?]
"Ne? Celty-san, why on Earth would we be killing you now? I mean, we still need Shinra-san to deliver the babies~" She seemed to relax a little and Shizuo chuckled.
"I'm gonna go start on the nursery then…you two can visit for a while," Shizuo said, heading out so he could start painting. The room had been uncarpeted and undecorated when they'd moved in as this was what it was intended for. He sighed and closed the door to keep the paint fumes out of the rest of the apartment then started painting the walls white.

"Sit, sit~" Izaya offered and Celty did, though she was clearly still nervous.
[Should I get him now?]
"You don't have to you know, I really won't kill either of you. Besides, I don't think I could kill you even if I wanted to~" He reminded and she nodded her helmet.
[I will be back soon]

She was back soon, though still apprehensive. Shizuo had just finished the final coat of white paint and had showered and changed so he didn't bring the paint fumes near Izaya.
"Celty said you wanted to talk to us?" Shinra asked nervously when Shizuo answered the door.
"Yeah, come on into the bedroom. Izaya wants to say it," He said and they followed Shizuo through to where Izaya waited for them.

"Shizu-chan~! C'mere!" Izaya sang happily and Shizuo did as he was told only because Izaya couldn't exactly get up and go to him.
"Ah, good, Celty-san, Shinra-san, sit, please!" Izaya chirped and they did so rather hastily, not wanting to upset the heavily pregnant informant.

"We have a question we wanted to ask," Shizuo said, looking to Izaya who chuckled a little.
"More like a preposition. We picked you to be the Godparents," He said and Shinra's jaw dropped. Celty glomped Shizuo and hugged Izaya more gently than she wanted to. Her joy was palpable and the air started getting darker as the smoke from her neck began churning out in much larger quantities.
[Of course! I would love to, oh thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!] She was practically bouncing from excitement now, a smoke heart puffing out to join the forming cloud in the room.

"Ah…y-yeah, I would too…W-we accept but…why?" Shinra was still too shocked to be happy. Celty would have been singing right now.
"Well…you two are the best we know who could do this. I mean anyone else is either not a good person to leave children with or not trustworthy enough. Besides it's because of you two they exist in the first place. As such, you need to take responsibility for your actions and babysit!" Izaya proclaimed and Shizuo chuckled a little.

[Thank you! A thousand times, thank you!] Celty could barely hold the screen or type she was so happy and it was lucky her smoke was otherworldly or none of the humans in the room would be able to breathe since the air was now almost black.
"Godparents…heh, I never thought I would have the honour!" Shinra said happily.
"Don't think we forgive you. This is revenge too," Izaya proclaimed, a small and slightly sadistic smirk on his face, "if Shizu-chan and I want a night off, they'll be with you, or when neither of us can watch them, and so forth. Free. Of. Charge."

[I still think this is better than being murdered.]
