A/N: Here is chapter 2! Still mostly dialogue, but I will be getting to the plot VERY soon. Enjoy!
"Light? Are you there?" Misa asked, waving her hand in front of Light's face.
He had heard her, but for a second he wasn't sure his ears were functioning properly.
"Misa...you're...pregnant, are you?" he asked.
"Yes! Misa is, Misa is! Is it not glorious news, my love?" she asked, playing with a strand of her hair.
"Misa...please don't start with the 'love' thing again. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, I am not in love with you. And I never will be. This child will not change that, and you are a fool if you think otherwise."
Misa looked down in sadness. Yes, she knew that Light did not return her feelings, and she was perfectly fine with it. She was content to just be in his presence. No. Light Yagami did not love Misa Amane. But they have become...friends, I guess you could call it? And Misa was useful in...other ways that his male friends were not. Which was how they found themselves now, in the kitchen, talking about their future child. After a good long pause, Light finally spoke again.
"Misa do not think I have come to this conclusion out of love but, I think we should wed. It would lessen any suspicion left of our involvement in the Kira case if we were to look like a normal family. Now that L is gone, there is no longer an obstacle for me. So? Is your answer yes or no?" Light asked.
Wait...what? Was Misa-Misa hearing correctly? Was the man of her dreams really asking this? Was he really (sort of) proposing to her? In an attempt to reiterate what she thought she heard, Misa squeaked out a question.
"Did Light...Did you...just ask Misa to marry you?" Light simply nodded.
Misa fell to the ground, on her knees, almost as if she were praying to God, and she was, in a way.
"Misa...would be honored to be Kami-sama's wife. Honored."
In a second, Light was at her side, hugging her, similar to the that first time they met, in Light's bedroom.
"Misa...to the public eye, we will be the perfect family. But in actuality, You, me, and our child will be the gods of a new world."
Misa smiled.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Went Misa's shoes as she skipped along beside Light merrily.
"Misa...would you please refrain from skipping so? You are irritating me." Light spoke from behind. Misa stopped immediately and apologized.
"My apologies, Light." she said.
"Mm." Was all he said to let her know he had heard her.
Misa slowed down and let Light lead ahead. They were on their way to the Yagami household, to let Light's parents know of the upcoming new member of the family. As they approached the house, the heard a voice.
'Oi, Raito!' It was the voice of Ryuk, Light's shinigami.
"Hello, Ryuk. Where have you been? Is Rem with you?" Misa asked.
Ryuk did not answer, his gaze focused on Misa.
'Well, well. You're having a kid, huh?' Ryuk stated.
Misa jumped. How had he known that? 'I can see it's lifespan. Just it's lifespan. It doesn't have a name yet, so I see 2 lifespans with Misa Amane's name. And since you can't have 2 lifespans...' Ryuk began.
"There must be a second life. Clever deduction, Ryuk." Light rolled his eyes.
"Where is Rem, Ryuk? Why isn't she here? Where has she gone?" Misa asked.
'Rem has gone back to the shinigami realm for awhile. She told me to tell you yesterday, but I was busy.' Ryuk explained.
Misa scoffed. "Busy. Out eating apples sounds more accurate."
Misa smiled. But Ryuk didn't respond to Misa again. He simply stared at her for a long time. No, not her...her stomach. Then, after a few minutes, he laughed.
"What is it?" Light asked. This was weird behavior, even for Ryuk. But Light went unanswered as well. Ryuk laughed. He laughed and laughed and laughed some more. Then with a parting 'See ya.', Ryuk laughed even harder. And then he was gone.
"What the hell was that about?" Light asked.
"I dunno." was Misa's reply.
Light and Misa stood on the porch of the Yagami's. Light rang the doorbell. Soon, they heard footsteps and the door swung open.
"Light! Misa! Come in!" came the voice.
Standing before them was Soichiro Yagami.
A/N: And...there is chapter 2! Woot! I wondered whether or not to actually make this chapter this long, but I decided to do so! What do you guys think? Do you like them this long, or the previous length? Please review! It makes my day. It really, really does. The people that have favorited my story have not reviewed it, and the ones that have reviewed, have not favorited it. Isn't that funny? Please review! It seriously makes me write faster!
