-Four months later-

Izaya woke up to the sensation of his insides being knot and his lower back hurts very much. He supported himself with the bedside table when he stood up to talk to Shinra about what's happening to him. Needles seem to be pricking his feet as he walked to his work desk to get his cellphone which he forgot to bring with him on his bed.

"Shit!" he almost collapsed if not for the door frame which supported him. Finally making it to his desk which seemed to be like an hour of walking, a sudden wave of pain hit him before he completely collapsed on the floor, clutching his cellphone tightly, his breathing becoming difficult. He dialled Shinra's number

"Shinra! Hah! I'm in great pain right now! Go here immediately, NOW!" he screamed the last part as more pain overflowed in his body and he felt something wet coming out from behind him. His eyes widen. "Shinra! Please, NOW! I think it's going out!" he managed to tell him before he passed out, his hands resting on his now very large belly.

-Izaya's POV-

"Izaya! Izaya! Come on, you can do it! Please don't sleep! Celty hold him still! IT'll be over soon!" I can hear Shinra's voice calling out but I can't force to open my eyes. I can feel Cely squeeze my hands. I can sense Shinra doing something on me but I can't feel anything as if my whole body went numb. This time, I forced my eyes to open slightly, and I am quickly blinded by a whitet light. Am I in one of Shinra's makeshift hospital rooms? Celty don't seem to notice me waking up as she is frantically running here and there then returning to my side again. I see that there is a curtain draped over my lower area; I think Shinra is there. I closed my eyes again. I feel so tired. Very very tired.

Before I can really go to the state of sleep, a shrill cry of a child was heard all over the room. "Ahahaha! Finally!It's a success Celty!" Shinra chirped happily, taking something from behind the curtain. What is that white bundle he's holding? I couldn't ask further questions as my mind orders my body to sleep and rest.

I was woken up by a Shinra shaking me gently. I am met byShinra with sparkling grey eyes, holding my hand. "Ah, you've woken up finally!" he helped my sit up on the bed but my lower area and head feels terrible.

"So how are you feeling now?" he asked me. I only noticed that I am connected to different machines.

"My head and body hurts like hell." I looked down only to see that I no longer have the baby bump. I panicked and he seemed to notice it.

"Don't panic, Izaya. Everything's fine." He smiled, assuring me as he rubbed my hands with his own. "Celty, bring him here."

A few minutes later, Celty went to the room holding a white bundle. I feel my heart beat fast as the bundle is given to me. I immediately wrapped my arms around the bundle, moving some of the cloth and revealing a baby boy, sleeping peacefully. I can feel tears falling down my eyes but I can't help it. Damn these hormones.

Honestly speaking, at first, I don't really give a shit to this baby. I'll give birth to it and give his essentials then no more. I was planning to give the kid to Shinra anyway. But realizing the meaning of those recurring dreams, I felt guilty. Not all people are given this blessing called the miracle of life, even though by the rules of nature, that I'm not supposed to experience it.

Though I still won't let that bastard protozoan know this. I don't care if he's the father, I want him to stay away from me now. Even when I come back, I don't want him ruining my plans anymore. But a little chase won't be bad, right?

"He's so beautiful." With the boy's wavy dark brown hair and pale skin, he looked like that man who must not be named. But I'll make sure to raise him my own way,I'll teach him how to be great and gorgeous like me. I managed to laugh as I thought about that.

"Yeah, he is." Shinra agreed, poking gently his cheek. By the way Celty's smoke puff, I can see she's very astonished as well.

[He looks like Shizuo!] Celty, why do you have to point that out?I tched.

"Now, now Celty, let's focus on the people present here." glad Shinra read my mood. I tightened my hold on the precious being in my arms.

"Izaya, I needed to check up on him more so can you give him to me for a while?" for a moment there. I hesitated to give my child to him but since it's for my baby's health, I obliged. Before he goes out of the room though, he stopped first.

"What's his name by the way?"

I thought for a while, looking at the gentle and calm sleeping face of him. I smiled, remembering that place which best describe him.

"Tsugaru. His name is Tsugaru."

-Normal POV-

Minutes later, Shinra went to the room with a smile plastered in his face, to return the baby to he's mother who just woke up from his sleep.

"He's alright. He's very healthy and normal just like other newborns. His breathing seems to be bit ragged and deep but that's because his little lungs are yet to adjust to the outside environment. But I assure you that in a few days, it's going to be normal." Shinra said while scribbling something on his clipboard. He gave a paper to Izaya.

"Those are my prescribed vitamins and medicines you two needed to take to help in the recovery process. I indicated the time they should be taken and must be strictly followed. Also, I've prepared a specialized milk that Tsugaru must take daily to ensure his growth."

"Thanks Shinra. I don't know what will happen if you and Celty are not here." Izaya smiled at them. "I'll repay you no matter what the cost is."

"It's not necessary Izaya. We are friends after all." he tapped Izaya's shoulder and grinned widely. Izaya felt a tug on his chest. 'Friends, huh? After all I did to you, you still consider me as a friend.' He smiled inwardly.'

"So, are you planning to tell Shizuo about this?" Shinra's tone is serious. He's really worried for his friend's especially the child's sake. He don't want the child to grow up without knowing his parent and he knew Izaya thinks the same. He's just too stubborn.

"Shinra," he sighed. "I told you I'm going to get over this by myself. There's no need for that brute to come into our life."

"Are you really sure about that? Izaya, I know, there will come a time that you can't run from him anymore and he needs to take care of you two. He'll know it eventually." Shinra tried to convince him, his voice stern.

"It'll be fine as long as he won't discover Tsugaru. I'll never allow him to lay a finger to him." Izaya's hand clenched into fist. He's determined to forget the blonde. He knew he can never run away from him and the only thing he could do is to avoid and forget him.

"Izaya, you are so stubborn aren't you?" Shinra left the lying informant with the child in his arms. He looked at the sleeping child.

'You may look like him and he might even find you but I'll protect you no matter what.'
