First of all I want to make this clear. The doctor is a family doctor or practitioner or whatever it is called. He handles patients or clients from infants to old people and in between. He is famous for he's confidentiality, which means he doesn't easily share information with unauthorized people and he's not easily trick by and would crack to the paparazzi, that's why he's greatly favored by the celebrity stars and rich people who values their privacy. The only one that would know you go to that hospital and see that doctor were the only one that saw you in there but they would usually be celebrities who also values their privacy. They don't tolerate spies, they have tight security.

Okay, I'm talking too much… so here you go… Enjoy…

Chapter 8

Fuwa Sho opened the door and the first thing he heard was a voice so much like Kyoko saying "But Ren," in a worried and loving tone he remembered her using when she was always worrying over him. Ren? Tsuruga Ren? And Kyoko… s-saying his first name like that? He thought angrily. He looked at where that voice came from and he saw a beautiful and attractive woman and a serious but sexy sort-of business man. I-it's not Kyoko and Tsuruga Ren? He thought, surprised and for a second he saw them glared at him. But he wasn't so sure, so he dismissed it as an imagination. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a loud cry. He then just noticed the small creature the beautiful woman had in her lap. The man and woman immediately turned their attentions to the baby.

"Sho-kun." He heard Mimori called his name as the girl wrapped her hands around his arm. "Let's go." Smiled up at him. He started walking out but he was watching the couple with the baby from the corner of his eyes.

"You must be Mr. and Mrs. Hizuri. And this must be the lucky baby." The doctor said and was the last thing Sho heard before they exited the waiting room and shut the door. Mr. and Mrs.? So it really isn't Kyoko. She wouldn't get that beautiful and attractive anyway. He scoffed.

SHO? Kyoko and Ren both thought when they saw Fuwa Sho standing in the doorway to the doctor's office and clinic. Why's he here? They both thought and for a second their real selves slip and they both glared at him. But quickly caught and composed themselves. They continued to stare at him, but Baby Ren suddenly cried so loud, Kyoko lifted him up to her chest and started rocking and hushing him. Ren worriedly looked at Baby Ren and asked his little Junior what was wrong. But even in the midst of it all, the girl who came beside Sho did not left unnoticed by both of them. As soon as Sho took one step outside the door of the waiting room and was out of sight, Baby Ren suddenly stopped crying and started smiling and giggling. Ren and Kyoko both stared speechless and confused at the baby as the doctor came to them.

"You must be Mr. and Mrs. Hizuri." Said the doctor and Ren nodded as they shook hands. "And this must be the lucky baby." Baby Ren looked at the doctor with his very cute smile when the doctor turned to him. They went to the doctor's clinic. There, a nurse went up to Kyoko and led them away her husband and the doctor. They went inside a room.

"Hello, Mrs. Hizuri, My name's Kaname. I will take the measurements of your baby. It will be just for a few minutes. It won't hurt the baby at all." The nurse said in a smile. Kyoko nodded. "First, I will measure his weight. Can you please take off all his clothes? But if he has dry diaper, you don't need to take it off." Kyoko followed her instructions and when she felt his diaper, it was still dry so she left it on. After that, the nurse instructed her to put the baby on the small table for his weight to be measured and then she measured his height, his head circumference and chest circumference. While Ren went with the doctor and told him about how they found him and adopted him. The doctor made him sign papers for the baby's medical records. That was when Kyoko entered the room with baby Ren in her hand. But Ren struggled on what he would put on their address and contact number. So he excused himself, saying he has an important phone call to take.

While he was outside, the doctor led the two to an examining room. He instructed Kyoko to lay the baby on a examining table. He pulled out his stethoscope, slipped it under the baby's clothes and placed it on the baby's chest where his heart was. After that, he performed some more examinations and development tests to the baby. Kyoko watched on other side and a little away from the examination table.

Ren, on the other was in the restroom phoning the president. After five minutes, he finally got through. "President, what address should I put in the papers? I thought you already gave them all the necessary information."

"Oh, I must have forgotten. I'm feeling really old now to be so forgetful." Ren almost groan in frustration because he knew that the president was clearly faking it. Then the president told him the address and contact number. Ren murmured his thanks and bye and was about to hang up. "Hold your horses, Ren. I still have something important to tell you that I have forgotten this morning too." Ren really wanted to hang up now because he felt that the president was plotting something mischievous. "The address I just gave you is real and that means you three will be living there as long as you have that baby-"

"What? But Pre-"

"And don't worry about Kyoko's guardians at that restaurant, I already informed them that Kyoko will be moving to an apartment, sponsored by the company. All her and your things are already there-"

"Wait! Presi-"

"Also, there are already new clothes there for your disguise and some things for your baby. Oh, I almost forgot, you are free from work today, so you can go there directly after your done. Good luck. Bye." He hanged up. Ren stood there frozen and shocked. What the hell? He thought incredulously.

Meanwhile, Kyoko was playing with baby Ren in the doctor's office waiting for the results and advices from the doctor. The door opened and Ren came in. He smiled warmly at her as soon as he saw her, forgetting the things the president had said to him.

"Where's the doctor?" He asked as he sat down on the chair he sat on before.

"He's analyzing all the results from the examinations and the tests." She answered.

"Tests? Is anything wrong with him? Did they perform painful tests? Did it hurt him?" He asked question after question worriedly. Kyoko giggled.

"Nothing's wrong with him, Ren." She said to him reassuringly. "The doctor said those were development tests, to know how old he is and to see if he is developing the way he should be." She smiled at him warmly.

"Oh, I see." He said and turned to the papers he still has to sign. It reminded him of all the president had said. He wondered how Kyoko would take it considering the president was trapping them into playing 'House'. He was the father, Kyoko's the mother, Baby Ren's their baby, they have a married couple disguise name, expensive wedding rings, new car and now, their own new place. He felt like they were a newly wed couple. Their lives were turning into like one of his dreams he sometimes wished would come true someday. And now it was happening in a strangest way possible. And of course he was happy. But there would be consequences or may be a down side to all of this. Everything good and happy things has a down and sad part to it. But for now, he was going to enjoy it.

The doctor returned and told them all about the baby. "He's a healthy baby. He will turn five months in a few days, may be less than a week. We can't tell when exactly because we can't tell what date he was born based only on the development tests and his measurements. In his age, he should be able to eat solid foods like pureed baby food or cereals. But it depends on you, the parents, because feeding the baby solid food much later would prevent them from having allergies. Colorful toys and the ones that makes noises are good for his development. And talking to him would be very helpful because he's beginning to understand the language and learning how to speak. And I will inform you later for his catch-up vaccination schedule." After that, they thanked the doctor and bid goodbye. They got in the car and went to shopping as promised. But Ren was worrying on how to tell Kyoko what he found out from the president.

Ren parked outside a shopping department outlet that sells all things related to babies. They quickly went in. Ren got a shopping cart while Kyoko held the baby in her arms. They didn't put him in the cart because they're afraid he still can't support himself and he would get hurt. As they went to start shopping, a staff went to them and ask if they needed help with things. "What are the necessary things for our baby? Especially because we travel a lot." Kyoko asked.

"First time parents?" He asked as he looked at Kyoko from head to toe with interested eyes. Ren narrowed his eyes at the staff. He led them the product. "Here we have the travel system. You can easily transfer your baby from the stroller to the car seat." He explained some more about the product but Ren cut him off.

"We'll take one of that then. Which aisle are the toys?" Ren asked in a dark voice. The staff froze scared. He told them which aisle is it and Ren slid his arm around Kyoko's waist as they went strolling to that aisle.

"You didn't have to do that to him, you know." Kyoko said without looking at Ren, though her real self inside was shivering in fear of the dark lord. Ren glanced down at her.

"I didn't like the way he looked at you." He replied and squeezed her at her waist which maid her jumped. She looked up at him and he was smiling a crooked smile and amused eyes at her reaction. She narrowed her eyes at him. But he continued walking. They arrived at the aisle with a lot of toys. Ren walked close to the toys along the aisle as he grabbed the things he liked for the baby. Kyoko stood frozen at the beginning of the aisle and stared at him dumbfounded. About halfway of the aisle, the cart was already full. She didn't know whether to laugh or to be mad. Recovering herself, she hurriedly caught up to him.

"Ren, wait! Stop." Ren looked back at her confused.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"You need to return all of this to the shelf." She said as she already started returning the toys one by one to the shelf. "They're not suited for his age." She explained when Ren only stared at her. So Ren returned all the toys while Kyoko browse down the aisle looking for the right section. Ren went to her when he finished as Kyoko already found the right age section of the toys. They looked at the variety of toys in front of them. Ren picked up one and wave it in front of Baby Ren. He giggled happily, so Ren put it on the cart. After arguing for several minutes and compromising on how many toys to buy, they proceeded to the clothes section and when Kyoko found the right size for the baby, Ren again picked up one of each kind of clothes on the rack and put all of it on the cart which cause another argument… again. They were beginning to attract attention, not that they didn't already. Noticing the effect of their 'little show', they compromised and put half of what Ren put in the cart back to the rack and went on to the food section to look for the pureed baby foods and baby formula. Ren let Kyoko choose because food was her expertise. They went to the counter and bought all of it including the travel system. And for the third time since they went in that department store, they argued again because Kyoko insisted on paying half of the bill when she saw a lot of digits on the total.

Ren looked at the lady at the cashier and smiled at her and held up a finger for her to hold on a second. The lady blushed. Then Ren looked down at Kyoko intensely. "Sweetheart." He started leaning down so close to her face, still looking at her intensely.

"Ts-, R-r-ren?" She asked getting nervous and slightly slipping out of character. "W-what a-are you doing?" Ren's eyes glanced down briefly to her lips and back to her eyes again. She saw a familiar look in his eyes and she gulped. Emperor. She thought nervously and suddenly a voice brought her back to the present situation.

"Thank you for shopping here." The lady on the cashier said with her face flushed deep red. When Kyoko blinked to focus her mind on where she was, she saw Ren already walking with the cart towards the door. So she hurriedly catch up to him. When she tried to match up with his long strides, she looked up at him and caught a glimpsed of his grinning face. She felt so embarrassed and burningly mad at him. He purposely did that to make me focus on him and won't notice him secretly paying all the bill, she thought angrily, and most of all he did that in front of the lady. So embarrassing. She scowled.

Ren was just grinning. He was so happy. He hadn't felt so free in such a long time. He was free to go on shopping and walking freely in public without getting mob by fans and most of all he was free to touch her and draw her close to him without worrying about her running away from him. For now… He thought. Because they were acting, but Ren sometimes get lost between the reality and acting. But he was still happy and that was all there is to it. For now… For now…

I hope you liked it. It has a lot of medical stuff so I made it a little longer, so you won't get bored or your head won't spin with all this health info. Sorry… also hope you didn't thought that Kyoko was too OOC… She is just absorbed in her character and it is still developing it… and it is her shield from the current… intense? Or is it passionate? Ren… Oh yeah, Sho had just a brief appearance… He's like an advertisement between TV shows or in this case chapters… ^_^ And the reason they were there is a seeecreeet… hehe ANY GUESSES, EVERYONE?
