Super short chapter, next one will hopefully be longer though. Can't type very well as I had to get six stitches in my palm thanks to a can of Chef Boyardee. Seriously, that man is nuts..he sliced my palm open pretty good...either way expect updates to be a bit slower as typing it kinda hard right now since I can't do much with my right hand...On that note, the guesses were: Mikado -everyone, Kida-1 person Kadota-1 person, Shiki- 1 person(wtf?) And...READ TO SEE IF YOU WERE RIGHT!


"Izaya….will you marry me?"

I stare into his beautiful eyes and at the ring in the box then slowly I gulp down the lump in my throat. I'm dreaming, I have to be! He wants to marry me? There's no way! I open my mouth but no sound comes out and finally I nod slowly. His breath rushes out and he grins and kisses me happily. I don't think I can breathe I'm so happy! He pulls away and slips the ring onto my left hand. Perfect fit too, how lucky! Yuzuki grins too and hugs us both.


"Izaya! Shizuo! Yuzuki! Good to see! Sushi is good even on Christmas!" Simon smiles as he hands us a half-priced flyer.
"Yeah we know," Shizuo grins, his hand squeezing mine lightly making me blush and grin. Yuzuki bounces in ahead of us and we see a few people we know. Anri, Mikado and Kida sit in a booth eating and talking happily with a large bottle of sake to split between the three of them. Anri is red faced and a bit tipsy, Kida seems almost sober, and Mikado…he's completely wasted. Vorona and Tom are also there and though Tom waves at us in greeting, Vorona ignores us completely.

Erika's group is also there and Dotachin waves us over so we go.
"Hey Shizuo, Izaya. Long-time no see!" He grins.
"Hey Kadota…Walker….what the hell are you eating?"
"Miso ramen with whipped cream…it's good!" He frowns a little at the look of mild disgust on Shizuo's face and Togusa chuckles a little watching the blonde in amusement. Erika seems to be sulking.

"What's with you? Three gay couples in one location, you should be having an aneurism right now," I point out and she sighs.
"Well…all my obsessing over you and Shizuo and I never noticed Walker and Togusa were together!" She whined.
"And now Walker is pregnant too!"

"You are?" Shizuo seems surprised and the other blonde grins at him.
"Yeah! But I gotta stop bleaching my hair while I'm pregnant, chemicals aren't good for the baby," He said happily taking another mouthful of ramen…something.
"Ne Shizu-chan~! Isn't it good, I'm not the one on top?" I tease with a crooked smirk and he frowns a little.

"Shut it flea," He mumbles.
"Izaya-san, you wanna try some?" Everyone stills and looks at me. Even the totally shit-faced Mikado goes quiet.
"Yeah, sure~!" I am curious but when I move to accept some my left hand flashes and the new ring is very visible. Erika squeals and snatches my hand to get a better look.

"Is that what I think it is?" She squeaks and Kadota looks over her shoulder.
"Whoa! Shizuo!" He says in surprise and I can't help grinning in delight. Tom and Vorona come over to see what the fuss is about as do Kida's group.

"Whoa, Shizuo popped the question!" Walker says with wide eyes and Shizuo blushes.
"Really! Congratulations Shizuo!" Tom says patting him on the back. Vorona seems to deflate then she smiles too.
"Yes. Good luck with all of you," She says but she looks at me then slowly nods once, conceding defeat. I nod once to her too.
"It's such a pretty ring too!" Erika squeaks.
"I got to help Daddy pick it out!" Yuzuki says happily and Erika squeals again and hugs Yuzuki.
"You're too cuuute~!" She says happily. Kida is looking a little apprehensive though as is Togusa.

"Eek! Help!" Yuzuki squirms playfully as Erika tries to hold on to her making Mikado and Anri giggle uncontrollably in their drunken states. Shizuo and Erika start playing with Yuzuki happily and most of the others are watching or joining in too but Kida sits next to me.

"Kida-kun?" I say and he frowns a little.
"I've been thinking. Mikado wants to sign up for the…trial," He says softly and I smile a little.
"Well, it'll make him fertile forever. And the first one is harder because of the pain associated but this time I've had almost none,"
"Oh? Ah, not what I meant I…I don't know if I'd be any good as a Dad," He blushes lightly and I chuckle at him.

"Shizuo wasn't sure of himself either. He's done remarkably well though as a father. Besides, I must be a terrible mother, I mean I'm far worse than you ever were and Yuzuki has turned out just fine," I point out. He smiles a little, but he still looks worried.

"Kida-kun. Babies don't come with manuals. You'll do fine though, you're out of that life-style and you have been for a while ne?" He nods slowly.
"Yeah,"
"So you led the yellow scarves, you also disbanded them before anything irreversible happened. You'll do fine, you'll see," I say and he smiles.

"Should I ask him to marry me first too?" He asks next and I chuckle a little.
"If he wants to."
"He has since they appealed the law against it," He mumbles blushing a little.


"Well what do you think Yuzuki? Before or after the baby comes?" Shizuo asks our daughter and she looks thoughtful as she plays with her kitten.
"After," She says finally and I agree with her nodding.
"Yeah, after I lose the baby weight too!" I say with one hand running small circles around my abdomen.
"Okay," He chuckles a little, smiling. His eyes are shining with happiness though as he looks at me and it makes me smile too. Ah, he really does love me, doesn't he?

"Well, I do kinda want to fit in to the tux," I mumble and I feel my cheeks warm. He chuckles and kisses the side of my head lightly.
"So, what, July then?" The baby was due in the end of May.

"Sounds good~"
