Chapter 4

Ren stopped the car in front of Yashiro. Yashiro opened the door to the front passenger seat next to Ren. Yashiro smiled as he greeted Ren and paused for a second when he saw Kyoko. But then he recomposed and smiled wider as he greeted her as well. He was busy feeling very happy for his charge and just looking at Kyoko face's that he missed what she was cradling in her arms. Yashiro settled in his seat and Ren sighed in relief that Yashiro hadn't noticed baby Ren… yet. Ren then drove off heading to LME as soon as Yashiro closed the door and had put on his seat belt.

Yashiro wanted to ask why Kyoko-chan was riding with them that morning. Then he remembered that he sent her last night to cook for Ren. Maybe, something happened and she stayed over. He thought as he laughed evilly in his mind. I would've confirmed that in one glance if I saw her yesterday because she would be wearing the same clothes today. Tsk. Oh well, as long she's here and Ren's happy, I feel happy too. "How have you been Kyoko-chan?" Yashiro asked as he looked back at Kyoko who was seated in the back seat.

Unfortunately for Ren, baby Ren chose that moment to start crying. Yashiro froze confused at what he was hearing. Then he turned to Ren. "Ren, is it just my imagination or there's a baby crying so loud in here?" Ren's face was blank and he didn't respond. Yashiro turned his head back to look at Kyoko when he heard rummaging sounds. He saw Kyoko rummaging the contents inside a bag. A bag that very much looked like the ones parents with babies carry around. A bag that holds contents of a baby's necessities, such as diapers, bottle filled with baby formula, baby powder, clothes and so on. At last, Kyoko found what she was looking for and pulled out the bottle with the formula that Ren had put in the fridge to cool down a bit. Yashiro's eyes followed the bottle as Kyoko skillfully took the cover off and put the tip down to what she was cradling in her arms.

Yashiro realized that the cries he had been hearing were coming from the thing Kyoko had in her arms. Wait. I just asked Ren about hearing a baby crying right? A baby crying… Yashiro's eyes widened as he gasped, his jaw dropped and he clasped both hands on his cheeks. Kyoko's holding a baby! Why is she holding a baby? They couldn't have made a baby over night. But when did Kyoko got pregnant? I didn't saw her stomach grew big. And is Ren the father? Were they just acting and playing dumb to hide this the whole time? Since when? Yashiro's eyes were spinning as many more questions passed in his mind. He felt like he couldn't breathe and his vision started to darken and he felt like he was falling.

Ren stomped at the brake as he maneuvered the car to the side of the street road as soon as he saw Yashiro falling forward onto the dashboard. He put the car on park and quickly turned the emergency/hazard light on. "Yashiro! Oi, Yashiro!" Ren called out to the man as he shook him by his shoulders. Damn, Yashiro. He always thinks to the extreme when it comes to me and Mogami-san. "Pull yourself together. It's not what you think."

"Yashiro-san, are you okay?" Kyoko asked in concern.

Yashiro's eyes snapped open when he heard what Ren said. "It's not?" He asked as he fully sat up. "But why does Kyoko have a baby, Ren?" He asked in a mix of anger and confusion. "How did she get pregnant? When was she pregnant? I didn't saw her stomach grew big. Who's the father? Is it you?"

Kyoko's eyes widened as she flushed tomato red at what Yashiro had been rambling about. "Yashiro-san." Ren called his name to get his attention and to stop him with his rambling. Then Ren smiled his sparkliest (I don't think this word exist in the dictionary but I still use it) fake smile. Yashiro stilled as he shivered in fear and a look of horror showed in his face. Ren then explained everything to Yashiro much to Ren's disapproving feeling about telling him. He just dread the time when his manager would start to tease him and pry on his love life. He's really so annoying. Ren thought, irritated when his manager started to make very annoying faces. First, his eyes were sparkling and the next second he was grinning like a cat and the next he was chuckling to himself evilly. Ren could just imagine what Yashiro was imagining as his face change expressions.

"Kyoko-chan, I'm very sorry for what I have said a few minutes ago. I was just surprise." Yashiro bowed his head a little to Kyoko. Kyoko forgave him saying it was really nothing. But the truth was, she was really embarrassed and she seemed to be really bothered by one of Yashiro's questions. She wanted to why Yashiro jumped to the conclusion that Ren was the father. But she didn't have the courage to ask Yashiro while Ren was still listening. Why would he think that? Tsuruga-san is the sexiest man in Japan. He wouldn't bother looking at a plain and boring girl like me. Not in a million years. But it's not like I want him too. She shivered in dread at the thought of Ren looking at her as a possible love interest in real life, before completely shutting all of it down to the deepest pit of her heart. If only she knew Ren was already looking at her like that.

Ren started the car and they were on their way to LME again. This time, it was faster and without any unnecessary stops because they had scheduled work to catch up to and they still had to meet with the president. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Yashiro asked curiously while straining his neck to look at baby Ren who was sucking on the bottle.

"He's a boy." Kyoko answered while smiling and looking down at the baby and holding the bottle.

"Aww... He's so cute." Yashiro said; his eyes sparkling as he imagined it as Kyoko and Ren's baby. Then he imagined some more on how Kyoko and Ren took care of the baby last night like a married couple. Aaahh… I could just die of happiness. Yashiro thought. "So what's his name?"

At this Kyoko froze for second before looking up at Yashiro. "Uhm… Tsuruga-san named the baby after him." Kyoko answered carefully and laughed nervously. She still can't say his name even if she add 'baby' at the beginning of it. She still felt embarrassed and felt like she was calling her sempai disrespectfully.

Luckily for Kyoko and Ren, they arrive at the LME already so Yashiro didn't had the time to tease them because they were now getting out of the car. Baby Ren was well hidden in a blanket in Kyoko's arms. Kyoko already put the bottle back to the bag and Yashiro helped her by carrying it. Even though the building is their territory and they shouldn't worry about scandals, they were still careful. Rumors could still go around inside the building if Ren was seen with a baby with him and Kyoko holding a baby near Ren was not helping. After few long, agonizing minutes, they successfully arrive at the president's office. They all sighed in relief when they closed the door and were now in the sanctuary of the president's office. Fortunately, baby Ren didn't cry on their way up. He only made small, soft and cute sounds that only they three could hear.

The president welcomed them warmly. Then he looked at the baby curiously. "Oh my, what a cute baby." He said eyes sparkling like Yashiro. "No wonder Ren couldn't resist bringing you home. And Mogami-kun, you looked so comfortable with the baby. It's as if you're his mother. It's a boy right?" Kyoko blushed of embarrassment. She wanted to protest but she just kept silent when she remembered what Ren said the night before. The president playfully pinched the baby's nose, enjoying himself when the baby was blinking and giggling a bit. "Did you name him?"

Kyoko again froze for a second and Ren hid a smile to himself. "Tsuruga-san named the baby after him." She said shyly.

"Oohhh… So his name is Ren, huh?" The president grinned. "Then, it must be sad to give him away." The president made a sad face.

"Yeah." Kyoko smiled sadly looking at baby Ren who was looking up at her innocently.

Ren looked at his wrist watch for a second and then looked up to the president. "President, Yashiro and I have to go now. I leave everything to you. Thank you for your help." The president just nodded in response. Ren then went to Kyoko and the baby. He looked at baby Ren with sad and loving eyes. "Goodbye, little guy. Hope you'll find a nice family that will take good care of you." He smiled as he bent down and kissed the baby's forehead. Kyoko blushed and her heart raced when Ren bent down so close to her face and breast. She could smell the masculine scent of his hair. Ren then pulled away, looked at her and smiled heavenly at her. "See you later, Mogami-san."

And just like that Ren was gone. But president and Yashiro were grinning foolishly to themselves at the family-like scene they just witnessed. It looked like a scene when a husband, Ren, was bidding goodbye to his child, baby Ren, and his wife, Kyoko, before going to work. The president chuckled when the door closed after Ren.

Then it was Kyoko's turn. She left the baby to the president's care and went to her own work. But there was something that's bothering her. It was what the president had said to her before she left.

What could the president have said to Kyoko, everyone? Sorry for the cliffy… I hope you'll look forward to it in the next chapter… see yah… ^_^ oh, and thank you very much for reading, reviewing, putting this story on alert or in your favs… I really appreciate it… Love yah! xD
