RECAP:

ULTRA SOUND ROOM (A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHUUICHI HAD WOKE UP)...

"Are you ready for the ultra sound?" The doctor asked Botan when he had entered the room.

"I'm a little scared actually." Botan answered truthfully even though te pain was gone, there is still no guarantee that the baby is okay.

"According to your check up last night, the baby is still there, we just need to be sure that his okay." The doctor said. "There's a difference between knowing the baby is still there and the baby is okay." The doctor added to further explain.

"I guess we need to get it over with." Botan simply said.

Chapter Fourty-Two: D.A.'s Pressure And Something Evil

C.S.I. LAB... (3 DAYS LATER)

"Aren't you going home yet?" Mike asked as he pop into the layout room.

"I can't, I got a call from the D.A., they want to have the preliminary hearing two days from now, which is 48 hours away, and there are still a lot of evidence to be process." Jamie said as she took one folder from the pile that was sitting on a small desk and started reading the report.

"I see, here's the other report you ask me to get you and these four folders on top is from Touya, they are the witness statements, one of them is Sean's statement that you have to read, according to Touya." Mike said indicating the folders he's carrying.

"Thanks, just leave it there." Jamie said pointing at the other end side of the layout table. "Has all my evidence in this case been put to the evidence vault already?"

"Yup, every bit of them. Oh, yeah before I forgot, Touya called, he asked me to tell you that he had reserved a table for dinner at 8 tonight at your favorite place, since you're incommunicado." Mike said as he place the folders to where Jamie pointed while Jamie looks at her watch which read 7:45 already.

"7:45!... Damn!" Jamie cursed under her breath as she close the folder she was reading and took a paper and pen, writing in bold letters the word 'Do Not Enter' before sticking it to the door with a sticky tape. "Thanks Mike!" Jamie added as she run to the locker room to refreshen while Mike smiled at her back before closing the layout room door behind him.

HOSPITAL... (SAME NIGHT WITH TOUYA'S DIINER INVITATION)

"How are you feeling?" Botan said as she entered Shuuichi's room and saw him prop up on his bed reading a magazine.

"Great!" Shuuichi said looking up from the magazine.

"How about you?" Shuuichi asked looking at Botan who put the basket of fruits she was carrying on the side table near his bed.

"I'm fine." Botan said sitting onn the chair beside Shuuichi's bed.

"Botan, we really need to talk." Shuuichi putting the magazine down and covered Botan's left hand with his.

"There's nothing to talk about. We lost one of the twin but the other is still there." Botan said as a flashback about three days ago in the ultrasound room.

FLASHBACK...

"Okay, you're done." The doctor said as he replace the aparatus back. "There's a good news and a bad news. Are you ready?" The doctor added looking at Botan who sat up from the bed.

"Yes." Botan said or rather whispered as she calmed herself down.

"The good news is, you have twins. The bad news is you'll loose one of them." The doctor stated and looks at Botan carefully for any sign of fainting.

After hearing the docotr, Botan didn't know how to react, she was suppose to have twins but she lost one of them. She felt happy with the knowledge of having twins, devastated at the same time from learning that she lost one of the twins and she's also thankful for still having one of them. It's just so confusing.

"Mrs. Minamino." The doctor said putting his hand on Botan's shoulder.

"I'm okay doctor, thanks." Botan answered as a nurse help her back to her room.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I know it's hard for you, but it's not your fault." Shuuichi said squeezing Botan's hand.

"I know and it's also hard for you." Botan said putting her right hand on Shuuichi's left hand that was holding her left hand.

"We can go through this together. You and me, if you could forgive me from everything that I've done." Shuuichi said and for once after his father died, tears started to fall from his eyes. So many bottled up emotion bursting out from him, from the fear of loosing Botan when she was kidnap and when Ken told her about his stupid REVENGE, the knowledge that he lost one of his child and last but not the least is the thought of never being forgiven by Botan and never getting a second chance to spent his entire life with the only woman he love and the child he had fathered and had grown to him even it was still inside of Botan.

"I aready had forgiven you, ever since you walk out behind the cops and allow Ken to shoot you just so he would let me go." Botan said as she entwine her left hand with his left hand. "You've proven to me how much you love me by sacrificing your own life, and I can't be more thankful enough, to have you as my husband."

"Let us make this a new start." Shuuichi said raising his left handwhich is still entwined with Botan's hand and both their wedding ring shined, reflecting the ray of light coming from the sun on Shuuichi's window. Signaling the start of a new beginning. "You, me and our baby and future baby." Shuuichi added kissing the wedding band on Botan's finger before pulling Botan off the chair to the bed where he kiss her full on the lips.

ITALIAN RESTAURANT...

"Sorry, I'm late." Jamie said as she sat opposite Touya.

"It's fine. I already ordered your favorite." Touya said looking at Jamie who's a little breathless.

"How long have you wait?" Jamie asked after drinking the water in front of her.

"About 30 minutes, but just as I say, it's okay." Touya said and signal the waiter to serve their foods.

"How are you holding up?" Jamie asked when the waiter had finally served their order.

"Well, I finish all the necessary paper works needed on the preliminary hearing and I even have a new case that I had close a few hours ago." Touya said as he started to eat. "How about you?"

"The D.A. won't stop reminding me about the preliminary hearing. Kept calling me every half an hour." Jamie said rubbing her forehead to show that she's getting a headache.

"So that's why your incommunicado." Touya said with a chuckle.

"It's not funny. The lab is lack of staff, the DNA lab is processing a lot of evidence for both day and night shifts. There is just no way to rush all those things and the D.A. wouldn't stop calling every half an hour just to remind as about the preliminary hearing which would be three days earlier." Jamie said as she chew her steak and realize how hungry she was since she had skip lunch.

"So does that mean you'll be going back to the lab?" Touya asked looking at her girlfriend and can't help to be proud of her. She was shot and still, she's working like nothing had happen.

"I had too, I only have 51 hours left before the hearing." Jamie said looking back at Touya.

"I see, just don't forget to rest if you get tired and also don't skip any meal." Touya said giving her a smile of encouragement.

THE NEXT DAY...

"Finally, I'm out of here." Shuuichi said after packing up his remaining cloths.

"I don't get it though, they're treating you like a king here." Botan said as she help Shuuichi fold his cloths.

"They do but I miss sleeping beside you, making love to you and just waking up with you in my arms." Shuuichi said suddenly grabbing Botan on the waist and crushing her to him, making him release a small groan of pain that is.

"I told you, you're still in pain and you shouldn't keep on moving yet our you'll only stretch the stitches, reopening your wound." Botan said trying to step away from Shuuichi's hug without hurting him.

"Does that mean I can't make love with you too?" Shuuichi asked with a cute pout. making him look like a kid whose mother won't give him a candy.

"Shuuichi, I'm pregnant and you're still healing." Botan said slapping his right arm when she saw that pout but then laugh making Shuuichi laugh at his own anticts, both had only stop when Shuuichi decided to kiss her full in the lips.

CSI LAB...

Jamie was haunch on the layout table when the door of the layout room opened and Mike went in holding a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

"Here!" Mike said handing Jamie the cup of coffee.

"Thanks Mike, how thoughtful of you." Jamie said as she sip her coffee and savored the taste.

"Don't thank me, thank Touya. He called me when he still can't reach you, then he drop by and gave those to me so I can bring it to you. Isn't he sweet." Mike said rather than asked, teasing Jamie who just smiled, "By the way, I'll have your evidence processed by three in the afternoon." Mike added before completely leaving the layout room, so that Jamie could continue her work.

Jamie smiled after Mike before flipping her phone open to call Touya and thank him for the coffee and the sandwich.

JAPAN PRISON...

"Mr. Ikusawa, are you sure you don't want me to represent you?" A man voice asked as he look at Ken who is sitted in front of him with his head down.

Ken look up from where he was looking and up to the man who is in front of him. "I don't need your service." Ken hissed at him before adding, "I can handle myself."
