Chapter 17

Kyoko and Baby Ren arrived an hour before seven in the evening at the President's mansion. Baby Ren was swept away by Maria and the other maids while Jelly dragged her to a room where she worked her magic on her. Her make up was simple. She wore a simple red silk dress that has spaghetti straps, stops just above her knees and a big white rose print on the right side of the dress. She wore silver heels given by Kanae, princess Rosa sat beautifully above her chest and flower charms bracelet given by Maria. Baby Ren giggled cutely as he clapped his hands clumsily and called to his mamma. Kyoko went to him immediately. But their lovely time was interrupted by Sebastian. Jelly immediately excused herself and went ahead.

"Mogami-sama, it's time." Sebastian said. She handed the baby over to one of the maids and kissed him on the forehead.

"I'll be right back to check up on you. Be good, okay?" She said and then Sebastian led her outside. She was led into hallways and finally came into a great open space. She was outside in the garden of the president's mansion.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" The loud greeting came along with the clapping. She looked at where the greetings came and she saw all the people she cared about. She smiled a very lovely smile with rosy cheeks. She was feeling so warm inside and so wanted to cry but resisted because it would ruin the make-up Jelly Woods put on her. She swallowed the urge to cry and then gracefully curtsied because she felt like she was a princess and expressed her sincerest gratitude to all.

Then one by one people came to her. She was hugged and dragged around. Somehow she ended up carrying a bouquet of flowers given to her by the president. Kanae and Maria came to her and congratulated her. She found out that if it hadn't been for them the party could have been blown out of proportion by the president. She was so touched, she felt like flying. Then, to the Okami and Taisho and to other close people she knew. Finally, after that spinning and endless congratulations and talks, she was free. She didn't know what happened to her bouquet of flowers too.

Just now, she finally noticed her surroundings. It was so beautiful. She already felt like a princess that night but now, she felt like a fairy princess. She was in a flower garden or more like flower world. She was surrounded by a sea of flower. There was a flower fountain of champagne in the middle. Then all around were small tables shaped of flowers. Chairs on the sides of the garden where shaped of flowers in different colors, sizes and designs. She then noticed that the glasses, the plates where also the same. Her eyes started sparkling as her aura started shining and glittering. She just confirmed that she was now totally an inhabitant of fairy world. Corn! Is this what your world look like too? She excitedly asked in her mind. Then a chuckle interrupted her beautiful moment. She turned angrily at the person laughing at her but was surprised to see her respected sempai.

"Congratulations! I see you enjoying yourself." He commented with a smile. She replied with an enthusiastic 'unh!' and a big smile.

"I feel like I'm a fairy princess right now." She said as her eyes started to sparkle again. Ren's smile got wider.

"Don't you think you lack something as a princess?" He asked her. She turned to him confused. He just continued smiling. "Close you eyes." She had an alarmed look. This made Ren let out a laugh and she pouted. "I promise I won't do anything weird."

She closed her eyes. She waited patiently but each second made her nervous. She sensed that Ren didn't move away or closer to her and it made her really nervous. Then she heard his deep voice telling her that she can open her eyes now. The first thing she saw was a shiny thing and when she blinked and took in the whole thing. It was a beautiful head band with sparkly flowers. There a big flower in the center then little flowers spreading on both sides. It looked very much like a tiara. She looked up to her smiling sempai who seemed to be shining himself, too.

"I'm sorry I couldn't give this to you before you came out. I barely made it." Before she could protest, his hands picked up the head band and carefully put it on her head. Then he bowed in a princely way and held out his hands for hers. "Would you care for a dance, princess?"

She was so taken in by the moment that she didn't think of protesting or thinking anything else at all. She was led near the beautiful champagne flower fountain where there was solid smooth ground. An orchestra band on the side began playing. Then she realized she didn't know how to dance. Sure, she watched all those ballroom dances in every fairytale but she couldn't copy them because she had no partner to practice with. Apparently, this concern of hers showed on her face and Ren leaned down to her ear. "Don't worry, just follow my lead."

His hand guided her hand to his shoulder and made its way to her waist. His other hand held her other hand in shoulder level. Then they began dancing to the music of waltz. At first she stepped on him quite often but quickly learned the steps and enjoying herself. The music finally ended and they stopped and noticed that everyone was watching them; some with happy faces and some not so much, especially Kanae and the Taisho. Everyone clapped at the end of their lovely dance. Kyoko blushed as she just felt the dizziness from all the twirling. Ren led her to a flower chair and went to get drinks for them. She sighed; it was just a very wonderful and dreamy night. "I wish Baby Ren was here too."

"I am here." Ren answered which startled her and made her jump a little.

"T-tsuruga-san! I-I-I meant the baby." She stuttered.

"I know." he replied with a teasing smile. He handed her the drink he got for her and settled on another flower chair beside hers.

"Did you see him since you got here?" She asked.

"Yes, I went by to check up on him. He was crying."

"Really? Then I should-"

"No, it's okay. He stopped when he saw me and he was playing happily with the new toy I bought for him when I left." Ren assured her.

"I see. He should be asleep now and he won't be able to see this beautiful place." She said sadly.

"Don't worry. The maids took him here while you were busy and I saw that he was really having fun." He smiled at her and a smile slowly appeared on her face but then slowly changed to a frown.

"Tsuruga-san." She said his name suspiciously that it made Ren nervous. "Have you eaten something since you got here?"

"W-why, yes, of course, Mogami-san." Obviously faking it and Kyoko already saw through it because after he said it his eyes looked up to his right for a moment.

"Mogami-sama, Tsuruga-sama, I apologize for rudely interrupting but it's an urgent matter regarding the baby." One of the president's maids said. Kyoko immediately stood up.

"Where is he?" Kyoko asked the maid worriedly. Ren also stood up quickly and hurriedly followed the maid with Kyoko by his side. They arrived in a room with baby blue walls and light yellow color as accents. There was a crib in the middle of the room and they quickly went to it. Baby Ren was crying and his face was red. It was clear that he had been crying for a while now.

"Sshhh… I'm here. It's okay now." Kyoko said as she looked worriedly at him. "Where's his bottle?" Ren immediately handed it to her. She tried to put it in his mouth but he wouldn't let him. He continued to cry and pushed the bottle away from his mouth. "What's wrong?" She held the bottle away and Ren instinctively took it from her hands. Kyoko was rubbing the baby's tummy. Then Ren picked up a toy and held it up to him trying to catch his attention but it didn't work either.

Kyoko sighed and picked the baby up and hugged him to her but she flinched when she felt something hot on her shoulders. She looked and it was the baby's head. Her hand flew to his head and cupped his forehead. It was very hot and she stilled. "Kyoko, what's wrong?" Ren asked when she visibly flinched and stilled.

"H-he has a fever… Ren! What do I do? What do we do? He's burning! What if-"

"Kyoko, calm down." He said, as he began taking the head band and accessories on her head. "Excuse me but can you get her wavy brown wig?" Ren asked the maid. "Just calm down, okay? We'll be at the hospital as soon as possible." Baby Ren still continued crying and Kyoko tried comforting him. Kanae, Yashiro, Maria, Jelly and the president burst in the room accompanied by a maid. Ren turned to the maid.

"Can you please tell Kyoko's driver to get the car ready immediately." He said to the other maid.

"Ren, What's going on?" The president asked. They all had worried faces.

"Yashiro, my disguise." Ren demanded from his manager as he pulled his hair back smoothly. "Jelly-san, Kyoko's wig and contacts." He said to Jelly. The first maid he sent out returned with the wig but just the wig not her contacts.

"I'll go get my briefcase." Yashiro said and he and Jelly dashed away. He didn't really understand why but Ren looked like he was really worried.

"Kyoko, what's going on?" Kanae demanded to her best friend. Ren put on Kyoko's wig on her head clumsily.

"The baby's burning up." Kyoko answered her best friend. "We're taking him to the doctor."

Yashiro and Jelly came back with both their disguises. Jelly expertly put on Kyoko's contacts for her. Ren put on his mustache and eyeglasses. He took his tie off and borrowed Yashiro's blazer jacket. It was a little small but it will help with the disguise. Jelly spread her magic a little to him and they were on their way. They went to that private hospital again with the same doctor. Kyoko clang to Ren's arm as they watched the doctor and nurses checked the baby. He noticed her grip tightened and he turned to her. She had an extremely worried face and she looked close to tears. He raised his other hand and touched her head and leaned down.

"Don't worry. It's going to be alright." His hand went to touch her hands which were gripping his arm. "He's going to be alright." He kissed her hair and gave her hands a little squeeze.
