Chapter 7

Ren settled into the driver's seat as Kyoko while cradling Baby Ren settled in the front passenger seat next to him. The car wasn't as good as his Porsche but it was a very suitable vehicle for average and kind of rich family like they were pretending to be. It was so clean inside and smelled nice. But the windows are slightly tinted still for precaution. Ren put the key and start the car, but before he could drove off, Kyoko jumped in surprise when Jelly Woods knocked on her window. Ren pushed the button to lower the glass.

"Ren, Kyoko I forgot this. Darling would kill me if I forgot to give this to you." Jelly stretched her hand past Kyoko to give Ren one small black box. Ren was surprised as he realized what it was. He started to get nervous as he held out his hand and Jelly gently place the box in his hand as if it was the most fragile thing in the world. Then Jelly Woods wished them good luck and skipped back inside of her little beauty salon. Ren was officially nervous. He doesn't know how Kyoko would react to this even if this was just an act. She would probably make a fuss about how she can't wear it because it's so expensive. Ren thought. And I'm sure the content or contents inside are indeed really expensive. That's what you'd expect from the president who arrange this personally.

Ren looked at Kyoko only to see her staring at the box, frowning. She seemed to be confused as to what was inside that president would kill Jelly Woods if she had forgotten to give that little black box to Ren. So Ren decided to make her wear what he thought is inside this box no matter what. "Mogami-san." Kyoko looked at Ren. "Close your eyes."

"Eh? Why?" She asked and felt kind of scared on what he'd do while her eyes were close. He had been able to kissed her on the cheek while her eyes were open, what would he do if her eyes were close. Ren saw that bit of hesitation in her eyes.

"I promise I wouldn't do anything to you. Just close your eyes and don't open them until I say so." Kyoko saw the sincerity and didn't had the courage to refuse. She slowly closed her eyes and then waited. She heard a noise that indicates him opening the box. She really wanted to open her eyes and find out what the contents of the small black box were. She waited for a while but Ren hadn't made a sound or noise that indicates his movements.

"Tsuruga-san?" She called out. Ren snapped out when he heard her voice. He was so surprised when he examined what the contents of the box were. "Can I open my eyes now?" Kyoko asked impatiently.

"No, not yet." Ren answered. "I'm going to touch you left hand, okay? Don't open your eyes." He reached for her left hand, which was free from cradling Baby Ren. He held her small hand into his big hand. Kyoko was startled when something cold slid down her finger ring. "You can open them now." He whispered and Kyoko felt and smelled his warm breath on her face. She blushed a little. She then held her left hand up to look at what was on it. She gasped and her eyes widened as she looked at the beautiful ring on her finger. It was a silver wedding band with a thin line of diamonds in the middle that circled around the band. Her right hand reach gently to the ring without bothering Baby Ren. She touched the ring and felt the diamonds under her fingers.

"Is this real?" She whispered and looked up at Ren. Ren held out his left hand too for her to see that he had the same one in his ring finger too. Her eyes widened again. "But Tsuruga-san, if these are real, aren't they expensive?" Here we go. Ren thought to himself. He knew this would come up.

"Kyoko," He said her name with a very serious face but his voice was soft and loving. She blushed red, instantly. "A wife doesn't call her husband by his last name, so you have to get used calling me by my first name." her eyes widened again. She opened her mouth to protest immediately but what he said was true. "Besides, these rings are part of the costume." But he felt like the president made this rings for their real wedding. Well, if there would be one someday. And he didn't dare tell her what was engraved inside the rings. He was sure it would really freak her out if she found out and read it. "So, let's practice now, before we go. We still have time." He looked at her intently and expectantly.

Kyoko's eyes widened. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She didn't even let herself call the baby by her sempai's name alone and she can't even say his name while putting Baby with it in front of anyone and most of all not in front of him. And now, he was telling her to practice saying his name in front of him. She opened her mouth but no sound came out of it. Then she blushed really hard. So she lowered her head and let her hair fall to cover her blushing face. She looked at Baby Ren who was so behaved during the entire time. Baby Ren was just playing with his hands and looking at her and kind of smiled when she looked at him with blushing face. Then she remembered why they were doing this and why she needed to call him by his name. It was all because of that baby right there in her arms. So she forced herself to say his name.

"ren…" She whispered softly still looking at the baby because the only way for her to say her sempai's name was to just call Baby Ren without the Baby and meant to call Baby Ren not the real adult Ren himself. Ren's ear perked up and strained to hear what she said.

"What was that, Kyoko?" He leaned closer to her, slightly shifting his head for his ear to be closer to her head but he was still looking at her. "I didn't quiet catch what you said."

"Ren." She whispered again with just a tad bit louder than the way she said it before. And she said it so short not wanting to prolong the name. She was still looking at Baby Ren who was now grinning at Kyoko, who was red faced as ever.

"Sweetheart." Ren said lovingly at Kyoko. Her eyes really went wide as it can get but still looking down at Baby Ren. If she could get any redder, she could have with all the emotions that she was feeling. It was a mixture of embarrassment, but kind of warm inside, then a little bit of anger and fear. But it was mostly embarrassment and that sort of warm feeling. She then quickly shut her eyes and wished that she would disappear right that instant. "You need to speak up, or I won't be able to hear you."

Kyoko went rigid by the seconds that past and she didn't utter any words or made any sounds. If one would guess, she wasn't even breathing anymore. "Love, it looks like you were talking to our little junior and not to me." Ren continued. What? Our little Junior? Kyoko thought and snapped her eyes open. Is he acting already? Well that would make sense why he called me sweetheart. Kyoko sighed in relief mentally but then a little part of her felt disappointment which confused her. "If you won't speak up, we will be late to junior's appointment with the doctor." Even if Kyoko thought that Ren was already acting, she was still affected and turned another shade of red again when she heard him called her, Love. So she decided to create her character right that moment so she will have some protection against this Ren and also didn't want to disappoint her sempai.

She closed her eyes. She thought of the characteristics of a mother and a wife. First, she would be in love with her husband. Kyoko thought and cringed mentally. She really wanted to just run for her life but she couldn't because of Baby Ren so she continued. Then she loves and cares so much about her baby. Check. Then, she would be beautiful, polite, kind, dignified, loving, caring and just like a princess who got her fairytale come true. Kyoko finished. She draw a long breath and exhaled. Then, she opened her eyes slowly. She slowly looked up and her face losing all the redness.

"I'm sorry, Ren." She said lovingly to Ren, looking him in the eyes with gentle eyes and a very beautiful smile. Her cheeks were a little pink. It was so cute, Ren nearly lost it. But Baby Ren made noises and wave his hands up wanting attention from his fake parents. They looked at him with loving smiles and Baby Ren giggled and kicked his legs a little. They remembered their appointment and Ren faced the wheel and drove to their destination before they got late for it.

Ren parked the car and they went out and into the hospital. They went to the front desk and informed them of their name and appointment. Kyoko could clearly see the female clerk's eyes turned heart-shapes and blushed when Ren smiled at the female clerk after saying his name and appointment schedule with the doctor. Then the clerk's eyes turned to her and the baby when Ren mentioned that the appointment was for his baby. For a second Kyoko thought she saw the clerk glared at her but then she wore a surprised look and blushed in embarrassment. Ren wrapped his arm around Kyoko's waist and pulled her close to him. Kyoko didn't protest because she was in character. Ren was smirking. He clearly saw what happened with the clerk. He knew that the clerk glared at Kyoko because she was jealous of her for having a husband like him. But when she saw how beautiful Kyoko was, she blushed in embarrassment. Ren was just in cloud nine right now. He wasn't even acting. He just loosened his the tight restrain he had on doing what he wanted with/to Kyoko.

The clerk then led them to the waiting room and told them to wait for the doctor a little bit. There wasn't anybody in there. Ren expected this because he guessed that this doctor is a private doctor who handled a lot of rich, famous and celebrity people. He knew that even with their disguise the president wouldn't risk them going to a public hospital and public doctor with them so visible to public's eyes. He also guessed that this doctor handles everything like from babies to old people. He even guessed they offer abortion and no one would know you'd gone through it. That's why this doctor is famous for celebrities, famous and rich people.

Kyoko made Baby Ren sat on her lap facing Ren's way. Ren reached out to him and playfully pinched his nose. Baby Ren wrinkled his nose. "Hey there Junior." He said with an amused smile on. "You okay?" He asked as he caressed his cheek. Then he looked up at Kyoko as he wrapped his arm on her back and pulled her close to him by holding her arm. "What do you think about going shopping after this, sweetheart?" He suggested and kissed her near her temple and hairline. "So we can buy Junior some toys and stuff, you know." He added. Ren really did loosened his restraint, now that he has some kind of permission through the pretense of a husband. But Ren was surprised and happy that Kyoko hadn't started running away from him yet but instead snuggled closer to him and rested her head just below his shoulder.

"That would be nice." Kyoko replied with a small smile on her lips as she looked at Baby Ren on her lap. Ren rested his cheek on her head.

"It settled then." He said as his lips curled up.

"But what about your work?" Kyoko asked worriedly as she moved to look at him, which caused Ren to straightened his head up too.

"Don't worry about it. My trusted manager will handle it and it will just be for a few hours." He said with an assuring smile. "And I want to spend more time with you and our baby." He was now grinning at her.

"But Ren." Kyoko tried to argue but was cut off when the door to the doctor opened and they turned to see a very familiar (but not very liked by both of them) stupid face.

Heeeyyy… Guess who's stupid face it is? Well, it's kind of obvious, right? Hehe ^_^
