As promised, Izaya in a dress! Also, thanks to all of you for reading and for your support with what I posted in chapter lasts A/N...hopefully things will get better soon, in the meantime...have some Yaoi

"Yuzuki…do I…have to?" I half-glare at the costume my baby wants me in.
"Pleeeaase mommy?" Her gold eyes go wide and I sigh. It's impossible to win against this perfect little angel.
"All right, but just this once, I refuse to ever where a dress again, got it?" One that she can see anyways…Shizuo does like maid outfits, though they tend to get ripped up around him…

"Yay! Thank you mommy!" The dress is purple with poufy sleeves. I wouldn't go within ten feet of it if it were anyone but Yuzuki who asked. Damn, this was going to be awful! Shinra is dressed up as…go figure, a doctor.

"Uncle Shinra! Aunt Celty!"
"Hey Yuzuki-chan! What a lovely costume!" Shinra says, "and it so suits the birthday girl too~!" She grins and Celty hands her a small wrapped box. Celty is wearing a pumpkin on her neck today, and is dressed like the headless horseman. Again…go figure.

"Shinra…can I talk to you?" I mumble. He notices the purple…thing…I'm holding, smiles then nods. He comes over while Celty sets her pumpkin down on the counter to help Yuzuki with her hair.
"I think…you should announce your discovery," I say it softly, my eyes on Yuzuki and Celty.

"Who-Izaya-kun, you…you're serious?"
"Yes. I don't want to lie about being her…mother. Besides, I'm pregnant again and I am NOT cross dressing a second time around. I'm sure there are other couples anyways who would love an opportunity like this…not to mention the Nobel Prize you'll win," Seems I said the magic words. His eyes light up like a child on Christmas day…or Hanukah…

"Well…okay, I see your point…I mean, all of them! Not just…the …prize, right, well, okay! Yuzuki will…we'll need some DNA to prove paternity and that her mitochondrial DNA originates from you," He says and I nod.

"Just need a cheek swabbing right?"
"Yeah. Plus this way no one can deny she's Shizuo's, he'll need to give a sample too,"
"Sample of what?" Speak of the devil…

"DNA Shizu-chan. Shinra is…going to announce his um…new drug," I mumble turning red.
"What about all that boasting about how hot you are in a skirt?" He teases with a small grin and I feel my cheeks burn.

"I AM totally hot in a skirt, I'd just rather not cross dress this time around," I grumble, and Yuzuki hands him his costume.
"Daddy! Help Mommy change!" He takes his costume from her.
"Yes Ma'am," He grins and takes my elbow, leading me into the bedroom.

"Nice dress,"
"Shut up you big oaf and help me into it," I mumble, stripping my other clothing and getting into the dress.

"Are you…showing?" He asks, his voice so soft and gentle I nearly melt into a puddle.
"I…" I look at my abdomen though and sure enough the smallest swell has appeared.
"It's only been…six weeks though?" It took nearly four months to show last time. He grins though, one hand gently running over the small swell.

"That's…more amazing to look at then I thought it would be," he mumbles and his gold eyes are shining with such unadulterated joy I find myself smiling too. My hand touches his lightly and his grin seems to get bigger, then he hugs me, tight.

"Shizu-chan?" I mumble and he nuzzles my hair before helping my pull the bodice up and zipping it for me. I kiss his cheek making him turn red, but leave before he says anything because Yuzuki said she got to put my crown on.

"Mommy! You're pretty!" She grins and I frown.
"Maybe, but I am not wearing a dress again," I say and she giggles making me grin instead. I go over and sit next to her so she can set the crown on my head.

[What kind of queen has no make-up?]
"Celty-san, I refuse to-"
"Yay! I wanna do Mommy's make-up!"
"We don't have any! I'm not wearing make-up!"
"What's this about Izaya wearing Make-up?" Shizuo comes out in rich red and gold. It looks amazing on him…

"I am NOT wearing make-up," I try to scowl, but I'm enjoying this too much and I can't contain the giddy bubble in my chest. So instead of scowling I giggle, and that makes Yuzuki giggle too…and that makes Shizuo and Shinra chuckle too…Celty is shaking with silent laughter at the lot of us.

Shizuo takes my hand as we walk from door to door, watching Yuzuki collect candy. We'll be checking it all out later of course to ensure there isn't anything dangerous in it…and if there ever is I'll learn what house it came from and destroy the person. But we've had no problems, even in Canada, despite us living in what was probably one of the most red-neck area's I have ever seen. Honestly, some Canadians were like Americans! Of course there was that rodeo show…Yuzuki did enjoy Stampede even if we never actually went into the rodeo itself.

Of course she didn't admit when she got tired and finally Shizuo picked her up as she was nodding off on her feet. He carried her candy too.
"Shizu-chan…you're a good father," I mumble softly. Something he should know I suppose. It makes him look shocked though.

"You can complement people?" He asks and I turn red.
"Of course I can! I just did didn't I?" He grins and kisses my cheek.
"Hah, I guess you did…you've taught her a lot of weird stuff though…" He mumbles.

"Ne Shizu-chan. I taught her how to get by in the real world~" I say and he frowns.
"Maybe…"
"She's not mean like me you know…she even told me off for one of my games you know," It was true. I had been teasing a human to see their reactions and Yuzuki heard me. She gave me such a scolding for such a youngster! Only five at the time.

"Now that I wish I could have seen!" He chuckles.
"She's a lot like you," I mumble with a small smile, watching her sleep now against his shoulder as he carries her, so gently despite his monstrous strength.
"I've…been noticing," He mumbles, but he's smiling, "She has your mind though,"
"Obviously. I've also taught her all the languages I know,"
"What does she speak fluently?" He asks, almost nervous.
"Japanese, English, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French, Mandarin and Latin," I say with a shrug. He looks truly shocked.
"That's…what, ten languages?"
"Eleven. And if you count Klingon she speaks twelve," She had a thing for Star Trek…

"What's Klingon?"
"From Star Trek…it doesn't air over here, but we have it all on DVD, I can try hard-coding subtitles for you if you want, but it might be good for you to learn another language too,"
"Yeah right…you and Yuzuki are the smart ones. I had enough trouble learning Japanese thank you," He mumbles. I smile softly.

"Well…you're not stupid…about everything…" I admit it, but I know my cheeks are red. He looks shocked again, but then he smiles widely.
"Yeah well-"
"DO MY EYES DECIEVE ME?" We blink and look. It's Masaomi Kida with his two friends. Kida is dressed like a pirate, Anri is dressed as a Geisha –no doubt Kida's idea- and Mikado is dressed like a mouse. With whiskers and everything actually, it's cute.

"It's Shizuo Heiwajima and his soon-to-be-hottie of a daughter!" He says. Oh really…?
"If you make any moves on her Kida, I will have to punish you…" I sigh with a shrug, my tone teasing, but I know he knows I'm serious.

"I-Izaya-san…? I thought…you left J-Japan?" He says it nervously, clearly word hasn't gotten out that I'm back yet. Good. Then again most of my old contacts are in jail or dead now.
"I did, but now I'm back,"
"Izaya…you sure you're okay with them knowing?" Shizuo asks and I smile.
"Eh, I told Shinra to go ahead with the announcement. That's what the DNA is for,"
"…Oh…makes sense," He shifts Yuzuki in his arms gently so his arms don't get tired.

"But why do you care what he says about Shizuo-san's daughter?" Mikado asks now.
"Hey! Hey yeah! I mean I can understand her Father being mad but-"
"Oh, I gather she lied about it like the good girl she is…but I'm her Mother, and I'm much meaner then her Father…" I smirk a little. Kida gulps, but that didn't seem to sink in quite either. Mikado's jaw dropped and Anri looks…well…sort-of surprised, but given she shares her soul with a demonic sword…

"Masaomi…l-lets go,"
"Huh? Yeah…okay. Y-you two know I was kidding right?"
"Oh yeah, Izaya, Kida and Mikado are um…a couple now, I guess you wouldn't know that," Huh, go figure. I always expected something else, but this worked too in its own strange way.
"Oh…well in that case I don't have to hurt Kida-kun for calling my baby a hottie…though she is perfect…" The other three stare as we walk passed them though I do faintly over-hear Anri as we leave them behind.

"I never thought they would admit it…"
