Disclaimer: I don't own Skip Beat! (Which still doesn't have a Kyoko and Ren kissing scene. Lol) and its character...

So, I just finished this. I would really like your understanding for my grammatical errors and typos down there. And I hope you enjoy this chappie... ^_^

Recap:

"Mission accomplished, sweetheart." He said to her as he took hold of her hand and kissed the back of it. "We're finally away from all those annoying pests!" He sent a bright smile her way and chuckled. "Thanks to your acting."

Kyoko blushed at his sweet gesture and tried to take his hand away but he held it tighter. "I wasn't acting, you know. I was really scared."

"Don't worry, it wasn't your fault." He assured her. "Now, let's go home, so I can finally get you all to myself." He whispered to her huskily and he could clearly see her blood rose up to color her neck and face in embarrassment. Kuon looked back onto the road as he chuckled at his adorable little Kyoko.

Chapter 44

Ren parked his car on his parking spot in the underground garage of his apartment complex. He turned off the engine and turned to his right to gaze upon his new girlfriend. He rested his hand on the head rest of the seat his woman was sitting on. She was sleeping peacefully. He moved his hand to caress her cheek and brushed some of her hair away from her face. He couldn't believe she was finally his girlfriend. It was all so surreal... Like a dream. He leaned over her and kissed her cheek for assurance that she was real and not a figment of imagination.

Ren got out of his car and went to the other side. He opened the door and was about to scoop her up when he noticed her purse sitting by her feet. He picked it up, put it on his shoulders and very gently scooped her up from the seat as he continued to gaze at her lovely face. He finally got her out without waking her and he carefully kicked the car door close as to not produce a loud noise that might wake her. He pushed the button of his car key among his keys on his key chain to lock his car.

It was already midnight and no one was out and about except for them and the guards outside, so Ren rode the elevator with Kyoko in his arms silently to his apartment. He slid his key to open his door and they were finally in. He didn't bother turning on any lights. He knew the way in his apartment in the cloud of darkness. He went straight to his bedroom. He laid Kyoko gently in the middle of his bed. He was very reluctant to let her go because he still had to do something before joining her to bed.

He put his keys on his bedside table and put Kyoko's purse down on the floor. But then, he heard little sound like beeps coming from her purse. He opened her purse and browsed inside. He noticed a little red LED light and he heard the beeping noise again. He took it. It was her cellphone. He opened it and the screen said battery low. He knew that her cellphone was important for her jobs tomorrow and he noticed that they had similar models because it was a company phone. So, he took his home charger that was always plugged in near his bed and charged her phone.

Finally, he could prepare to be ready for bed where Kyoko was already sleeping in and he could not wait to lay down beside her and gather her in his arms. He quickly changed into his pajamas and slid into bed next to her. He spooned her and wrapped a possessive arm around her belly. He inhaled her intoxicating scent and kissed her temple goodnight. When he finally relaxed, he was now able to feel just how exhausted he was. He did not have time to agonize over wanting to touch more of Kyoko because he was slowly joining her in her deep slumber.

Buz, buzzzzz... Buz, buzzzzzzz... Buz, buzzzzzzz... Buz, buzzzzzz...

So annoying! Ren thought sleepily. But the buzzing continued on mercilessly. What the hell is that buzzing sound?

Ren stirred and felt the warm delectable body pressed against him. Happiness sprung from his heart like fireworks shooting up and then blew up into bright beautiful colors. But the buzzing continued piercing his ears and interrupted his bubble of happiness. He opened just millimeters of his eyes and reached his hand over to the direction of the buzzing sound. He caught a rectangular thing in his hand as it buzzed. He realized it was a phone. He opened it and answered.

"Hello?" He greeted sleepily to the annoying disturber of his bliss. There was a bit of silence on the other end before it answered him.

"Ren?" The voice of the president asked in a surprise and very confused tone.

"Yes?" He replied unsurely because he was a little confused too. The president was calling him and when he answered, the president was surprised that he answered as if he was not expecting him to answer his own d**n phone.

"Why are you answering Mogami-kun's phone?" The president asked him.

"What? What are you talking about? It's my pho-" Ren stopped when his brain remembered something from last night. He pulled the phone away from his ear and surely enough, he saw a pink phone. It was the same model as his but his phone was not pink at all. Nowhere near pink at all. It was Kyoko's phone. Right then, he felt Kyoko stirred in his arms because of his loud voice. He pressed the phone back to his ears when he could hear shouting from it.

"I'm still here." He assured the president.

"So tell me the truth Ren," The president demanded in a very serious tone. "Why are you answering Mogami-kun's phone?"

Ren was silent. He didn't want to answer the question and talk to somebody else about them before talking to Kyoko about the details of their relationship.

"Is Mogami-kun there with you in your apartment?" Lory continued to ask. "Did you already fix your problems?"

Kyoko groaned and stirred because Lory's voice on the other end was getting louder. Ren held his breath. He wanted to cover the mic of the phone but his other hand was Kyoko's pillow. If he move she would surely wake up and he did not want it with Lory listening in on them. But Lory clearly heard the groan and knew that it was not Ren's.

"OH MY GOD!" Lory shouted and Ren pulled the phone away from his ear. "You are so dead, Kuon! How could you do that? You two weren't really practicing last night!"

Kyoko moaned and was lifting her head to where Lory's annoying loud voice was coming from. She peeked at the phone with one eye and then she slowly opened the other. Her gaze trailed from the phone, to his hand that was holding it and to his face. He stared back blankly. He did not imagine it to be like this at all. Suddenly, a burst of anger came rushing through as Kuon came out.

"Okay! Okay, boss! If I say yes to you questions earlier, would you promise to leave us alone for a couple of hours to have for ourselves before our jobs? We promise to explain everything to you at the end of today. We still haven't even prepared for our scenes tonight!" Shouted in a roll of frustration. "And if you don't do exactly like I said, I will call mom and tell her you've turned gay and is hitting on me."

"You wouldn't!" Lory replied instantly.

"Try me. Remember my little acting show last night? Tell me I can't make her believe me." Kuon challenged him. There was only silence on the other end. Yeah, I thought so, too. Kuon thought victoriously. He flipped the phone shut and threw it over his shoulder which landed on his bed with a thud. Then his eyes fell on a pair of surprise ones.

Kuon's anger evaporated into thin air and the burst of happiness came back again. His lips slowly curved into a heavenly smile. "Good morning, beautiful." He kissed the top of her nose. "Sorry for waking you up like that."

Kuon could see his mind working and he could pinpoint the moment she fully realized her situation because she blushed like the red rose slowly opening up in spring. It was so cute to witness. He chuckled at her cuteness as he was feeling warm and his lower body stirred, too, in response. "You hungry?" He asked. "Wanna have breakfast now?"

Kyoko blinked as she processed his questions. She slowly nodded shyly when she understood him. She moved to get out of bed but Kuon wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him and he laid on his back and Kyoko on top of him. "R-ren!" Kyoko squirmed as she pushed her palms against him.

Kyoko gasped when Kuon's hand stroked her from the base of her spine to her neck. She shivered and let out a small sigh. Her eyes were in front of his lips. His hand weaved through her hair at the base of her neck. She looked up to meet his gaze. He was smiling lazily in a very sexy way. "Where's my good morning kiss?" He asked her as he slowly pulled her up to get what he wanted.

It was a sweet slow kiss and it tasted like the freshness of the morning sunshine. They parted slowly and opened their eyes and stared at each other. Kuon grinned. Then, he turned them over and got up. He scooped her up princess style as he got them out of bed. "Now, let's go get food before I end up ravishing you instead." He chuckled.

"Ren! Put me down! This is so embarrassing! I can walk." Kyoko complained.

"We're the only one here, sweetheart. No need to be embarrass." He replied.

Kuon watched her prepare their food in the kitchen. They ate their breakfast and talked about their relationship and what to tell the president. They decided to tell Lory that they are in fact together but they still are in the process of getting comfortable with each other, so they wanted time to decide if they want to let the world know about their relationship or not. After that, they cuddled on the floor in front of the coffee table in the living room as they searched the internet to prepare for their scene of Maddie's Love-child. It was the hospital scenes with Kanae and Kijema as Carolyn and Vaughan. The role of a loving wife and mother of a child is one of Kanae's final Love Me roles she had to portray well, before she could finally debut and be transferred into the acting department.

What they were trying to research in the internet was how to act a giving birth scene. It was not in the manga but the scriptwriters, Lory and Director Shingai decided to include it. It was pretty interesting scene and the director and the president were really curious how Ren and Kyoko would act the scene. Kyoko was really nervous because she had no idea how to act like a pregnant woman and more over giving birth. So they spent the remaining extra time watching videos about it and practiced it a little bit. When the time came for them to get prepared, Kuon went down to take their luggage up so Kyoko had something to change into. Ren then dropped Kyoko off at her first job that day where she met up with her new manager. Ren wanted to kiss her goodbye but he didn't want to risk exposing their relationship before they even started with their new relationship.

Three o'clock in the afternoon came. Kyoko jumped at Kanae when she saw her for the first time in more than a week at the set and as usual she dodged Kyoko. But when she saw Ren arrived with Yashiro, her cheeks warmed. When the two men stopped a yard from them, Kyoko remembered she had to act like the usual. She bowed right away to the two men.

"Good afternoon, Tsuruga-san and Yashiro-san." She greeted.

Yashiro was surprise at Kyoko's behavious like when he met Ren earlier that morning. He was not in his gloomy state like last night anymore. "So, you two are friends now, Kyoko-chan?"

Kyoko looked at Yashiro and blushed. She remembered how they, Yashiro, Lory and Shingai, had caught them making out on the Sofa at the set last night. "Y-yes, Yashiro-san. Sorry for all the inconvenience I have caused you last night."

"What happened last night?" Kanae asked curiously, especially when she saw Kyoko's unusual blush.

"Hey, everyone." Kijema greeted the gathering cast and Ren's and Kyoko's manager. Behind Kijema was the director and they started talking about the scenes they were going to shoot that afternoon. Kanae's inquiring question was ignored and forgotten for the moment.

They all went to make-up, hair and costume. When each of them came out of their dressing room and into the set where director Shingai, the main cast's managers and some of the staff were surrounding someone. Ren and Kijema were the first one to come back on set. They went curiously to the gathering to see what it was about. The staff parted away so they could go see. There was a woman standing there cradling a little bundle in her arms.

"Oh, Kijema." Director Shingai called when he noticed them. "Here is your baby."

Kijema's eyes widened in shock as he paled and looked ready to flee or faint.

"...for the scene we are shooting today." Shingai added belatedly.

Kijema snapped out of his panic. "Oh, I thought someone came here and claimed I am a father of her baby." He sighed in relief. Then, he turned to Ren and put a hand on Ren's shoulder. "I don't wanna be in the same scandal as Ren here." He chuckled. But nobody joined him as all of the ones that heard his comment tensed and nervously waited for Ren's reaction.

Everybody was surprised when Ren only snorted. "There's no such thing as bad publicity, right?" Ren teasingly replied. "At least I'm not close to faint or ready to flee when I see a baby." Everyone around sighed in relief and chuckled at Ren's teasing reply.

"Would you like to practice holding the baby, Hidehito-san?" The mother of the baby asked.

Kijema's eyes looked around in nervousness. "Uh, uhm, Ren here is the expert in that department, so he'll go first." Kijema pushed Ren towards the mother.

"Coward." Ren teased him. He turned to the mother who was blushing due to the close proximity of the famous Tsuruga Ren. "What's the baby's gender?"

The mother swooned at Ren. "Eh? Ah, girl. My baby's a girl. Four weeks old." She replied, flustered. Then, she carefully transferred the little angel to Ren's ready hands.

Ren was really careful in holding the neck of the baby. When she was snugly fit and comfortable in his arms, he looked at the sleeping baby and smiled at her. "Hey there, little princess."

Then, everyone heard an audible gasp. Ren turned around and saw Kyoko and Kanae standing there in their costume. Kijema's eyes turned dark as he enjoyed sweeping his eyes at Kyoko's sexy outfit. Ren tried his hardest to ignore the urge to bury his fist or elbow at Kijema's face and just look at Kyoko's excited eyes.

"Wanna hold her?" Ren asked Kyoko with a small smile. He walked to her and motioned for her to take the baby. Kyoko held her hand ready to take the baby and Ren transferred the cute little thing to her arms.

Kyoko looked down at the peaceful little sleeping face in her arms. She felt her warmth and her weight. She felt like a miracle. Kyoko let out a breath as her eyes slowly pooled with held back tears. Holding the baby reminded her of baby Ren whom she missed so much, she ached inside.

She wanted to hold him again. To kiss him. To feed him. To play with him. To bathe him. Just be with him.

Baby Ren... I love you... I miss you...

Uh, oh! Looks like Ren has a rival already... Lol I hope you enjoyed that guys. And please bear with me for a little longer. Baby Ren will be appearing soon. I miss writing about him too. Oh, and speaking of baby Ren, Lechat23 kind of reminded me that I haven't announced my drawing of Baby Ren to everyone. In case you haven't noticed the cover image of this story, the baby in the middle of the picture is baby Ren himself. I drew him. But not Kyoko and the original adult Ren though. I just edited them in there. So, if you wondered how the baby looked like, then there's your answer. I hope you're not disappointed.

Next chapter's going to be interesting and maybe comedic. It's gonna be a riot! Lol well, if it will actually go as what I'm thinking right now. It sometimes go off from what I planned when I'm in the middle of writing the chapter. Anyways, thank so much for all your love and support guys... Love you and read yah laterzzz... ^_^
