I went on vacation last weekend as I think I mentioned in my last TGE chapter update. It was amazing! Rejuvenating but at the same time draining like all vacations are... Anyways, please excuse the typos and grammatical errors below. I hope you Enjoy reading it! ^_^ and please buckle your seat belts because we are taking as very sharp turn in this story's development. Lol and please don't hate me for it...

RECAP:

"Mammma..." Baby Ren kissed Kyoko's nose and then slapped Kuon's cheek. "Dada...da..."

"Hello there, little guy." Kuon greeted baby Ren as he took the tiny hand that slapped him on the cheek. "I missed you so much." He turned the baby to him and kissed him. Then, he proceeded to tickling his sides and blowing raspberries on his neck. Baby Ren burst out into laughter that touched both Kyoko and Kuon's hearts.

Kyoko watched lovingly both Rens playing on the bed. It was the usual bright, noisy and laugher-filled morning that she really missed so much. Kuon eventually stopped then turned to his beloved girlfriend and kissed her good morning. When he pulled away he looked her in the eyes and said, "I love you."

Kyoko beamed with flushed cheeks, red-kissed lips, twinkling eyes and replied shyly, "..I-I love you, too."

"Da!" Baby Ren agreed as he clutched Kuon's nose with his little, tiny hand.

Chapter 47

Kyoko and Kuon ate breakfast happily with Julie, Kuu, Lory and Maria. Kyoko let Maria help her in feeding baby Ren which both the baby and Maria had enjoyed. Baby Ren was so happy to have another child to play with. They seem to perfectly understand each other which made Kyoko and Kuon both feel happy and a little jealous. Sadly, Maria had to go to school after breakfast.

An hour after breakfast when they were already dressed and prepared for the day. They gathered around in Lory's study with an unfamiliar man joining them.

"Everyone, this is Yamamoto-Hakase a very good friend of mine." Lory introduced the man. "He is a geneticist at the XXX hospital. He is here to collect the samples for your DNA testing. And before you think I'm going overboard asking him this tiny favor, he owns a DNA testing company." Lory was very satisfied to see them closing their mouths.

They all greeted the doctor and introduced themselves. They already talked about this last night. This was phase two of Lory's grand plans. They would present this crucial piece of evidence to the public at the press conference to clear all suspicions of Ren's connection with the baby.

"This will only take a few minutes." The doctor smiled warmly at them. He was old with his white hair and he looked really trustworthy, breaming with assurance and confidence. "And it won't hurt you or the baby at all." He addressed to the two obviously protective mama and dada.

The doctor proceeded in swabbing their samples. They included Kyoko's DNA sample for good measure, in case anybody would find out about her involvement with the baby. The public still did not recognized Kyoko's disguise but it won't hurt to be a little cautious and cover all the bases.

"You will have the results in at least three days from now." The doctor told them before he bid them good day and went on his way to work.

After the swabbing and collecting of their samples, they reluctantly left the baby behind in the care of their parents. All day, Kyoko and Ren had a bounce on their steps as they did their job so perfectly and passionately with smiles on their faces after their job well done. Everybody noticed it and commented. Some even dared to ask but they only smiled brightly at them. Kyoko and Ren had a really packed schedule because of their two week out of town shooting. They had to make up for it.

Kyoko went back to the president's mansion with her overnight bag at ten o'clock in the evening. The baby was already asleep in his crib which the president happily supplied for their precious little one. It looked expensive too. But Kyoko wasn't surprise since she already knew the president's taste in every little thing. He was eccentric, flamboyant and over-the-top to the bone. She kissed him good night after she took a bath and went to the bed a few feet away from the crib.

At midnight, Kuon arrived at their bedroom and found the two people he loved and cherished the most peacefully asleep. He leaned against the door jamb, folded his arms in front of him and sighed as he lovingly watched them with a smile.

I could certainly get used coming home to this, Kuon thought contentedly.

The next three days passed by busily because they were still making up work when they were out of town and at the same time, they still had to shoot the remaining scenes of Maddie's Love-Child. They got a call from the doctor, the one who stopped by and collected their sample. The results were still not ready. He told them, he needs at least five or six more days to double check and make sure of the results. They were a little worried why the doctor needed more time to double check the results. Lory, Kuu and Julie looked at Kuon suspiciously after the doctor's worrying call. And at one point, their thoughts wondered if Kuon really got someone pregnant and he didn't know it and the mother left their child at his car.

"Oh, come on!" Kuon whined at them. "You seriously think that I got someone pregnant here in Japan?"

The three just looked at him and now Kyoko was starting to realize their thoughts. "Oh, hell! I practically live like a monk since I got here!" Kuon argued before Kyoko could think of hin doing something like that. "Baby Ren's what, eight months? Plus nine months, that's 17 months. That's December the year before last. I already met Kyoko a year and a half ago."

The three eased their suspicious eyes from Kuon and he could see the last sentence seem to have convince them. But then Lory frowned.

"That's after the Heel sibling act Kuon." Lory commented and he was suspicious again. Kuon looked sharply again as he was beginning to see where the president was going with his statement.

"Eh? Why? What happened after we acted the Heel siblings?" Kyoko asked in confusion. She mentally went through what happened after they acted the Heel siblings and was looking for something she had missed.

"Boss-" Kuon warned the president not to say out loud what he thought had happened. But Lory continued anyway.

"You had to spend a lot of time with the one you love in a small hotel room, Kuon. You are bound to be sexually frustrated and need of release." Lory stated and everyone in the room was silent. Kyoko turned beet red when her mind understood the meaning.

Kuon closed his eyes and counted to ten very slowly. He was pissed and about to blow the lid off. He breathed deep and then let it out slowly. "Boss..." He said through gritted teeth. He was so thankful baby Ren wasn't in the room to see him like that. "Kyoko and I shared a bed these last three months and I didn't get her or anyone pregnant. And after Heel siblings, I wouldn't have time to get anyone pregnant because I was so busy I barely had time to sleep six hours at night. And if I would even look at other girls with interest, Yashiro would be there to punch me in the face. He coordinates my schedule with hers so that I can see her almost everyday. If he sees me hooking up or flirting with some girl other than Kyoko, he'd kill me for blowing all his hard work."

Then he turned to Kyoko. "I have never done anything like that since I met you again, sweetheart. I'm just making a point." He explained at her sincerely.

Kyoko's face blossomed a beautifully when Kuon called her sweetheart. But the corner of Kyoko's lips lifted involuntarily into a small smile as she nodded in reply to his pleading.

The next day, Julie and Kuu went back to the states to take care of their work and make plans to get some time off. Kyoko and Kuon told them, it wasn't necessary. They didn't have to sacrifice their work for them and that it wasn't a big deal. They already had a plan to counter Ren's scandal. But they insisted. Family was more important than their work. They didn't slave themselves working and making fortunes just to leave their son and daughter without support when they need it the most. What's more? They have a new grandson to think and to get busy about now. They didn't need work to occupy themselves anymore. It was time to get the rewards of their hard labor all those years. And most of all, they wanted to be there for Kuon now and every moment their son's life. They deeply regretted how they hadn't noticed Kuon's pain before and couldn't do anything for him when Rick died. And they weren't going to stop doing what they love altogether. They were just going to take jobs one at a time so their schedules were flexible and they would have enough time to spend with their son, daughter, grandson and their close families.

Well, Kyoko and Kuon couldn't argue with that and Kuon was more than happy to have his parents in his life again. It was so much more than he could ask for.

The days passed by busily. Kyoko and Kuon had temporarily moved in at the president's mansion as to not risk being photographed again. But they were sad and regretful that they didn't have time to be with baby Ren. They always have breakfast together but most nights, they couldn't be there to tuck him to sleep. But one night, Kyoko came home to a crying baby Ren throwing a tantrum. He wouldn't let the live in maid turned nanny to put him to sleep. He had been feed, bathed, changed and ready for bed but he kept on crying and throwing a fit. He started teething again and was feeling lonely. He wanted his Mamma. When he saw Kyoko he almost fell to the floor from the nanny's arms because he wanted to instantly go to Kyoko and he leaned towards her with his open arms reaching for her.

That night, baby Ren slept with Kyoko on the bed. He was snuggled up so close that Kuon was pretty jealous when he came home later that night. He remedied it by snuggling up to the two of them sandwiching baby Ren between him and Kyoko.

A week passed by since the worrying call from the doctor and they were all now gathered back at Lory's study with Yashiro and Kanae joining them this time. Julie and Kuu arrived the day before and were just in time for this meeting.

They were all so nervous watching the doctor's every move as he opened his briefcase. He got out a two envelopes. He opened the first one and read the results.

"The results indicate that the alleged father, Tsuruga Ren, can be excluded as the biological father of the tested child named Ren." The doctor read from the paper and then looked up at them. "He is not the father."

Everyone released the breath they were unconsciously holding and sighed in great relief. They didn't believe that Kuon would do such a thing but it still made them nervous.

The doctor opened the second envelope and took out the results. "The results indicate that the alleged mother, Mogami Kyoko, can be excluded as the biological mother of the tested child named Ren."

Everyone smiled as they heard the familiar words from Kuon's results. Although, everyone already knew the truth and they didn't need a piece of paper to tell them that. Kyoko is an innocent and have never been pregnant in any other way, shape of form. (A/N = A virgin can get pregnant through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)). So they didn't worry about the her and the baby's DNA test results. It was just for the benefit of the mass media if they ever find out Kyoko was the girl in the commercial and photographs from the beach.

Everyone was pretty happy and was feeling light that that was over. But the doctor cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. When they turned to him, they saw another envelope in his hand and they were confused and nervous as to what was inside that envelope.

"I'm very sorry for doing this without explaining everything to you, but I had to make sure." Yamamoto-Hakase said in a very serious tone. "I noticed something curious in the results of your Mogami-san's and the baby's test. So I took the liberty to run another test, that was why I asked for more time."

"What?" The women in the room gasped.

"But you just said Kyoko wasn't the mother." Kuon argued.

"Let me continue explaining and you'll soon understand." The doctor answered and everyone in the room reluctantly stopped themselves from asking the questions they wanted immediately to be answered. The doctor sighed before he proceeded. "The genetic data are inconclusive but support a half-sibship relationship involving Mogami Kyoko and the child Ren. Combined half-sibship index is 1.81. Probability of half-sibship is 64.41%."

Silenced ruled the air. It seemed that their brains were having a hard time processing the sudden and confusing information the doctor just announced to them. As time slowly ticked the silence grew heavy as they try to wrap their minds to the truth that hung in the middle of the room.

"w-ha-" Kyoko's broken voice due to dryness of the throat broke the silence. She cleared her throat and swallowed her saliva to moisten her dry throat. "What is half-sibship?" She looked at the doctor with wide, bright eyes. "And what is the meaning of what you just told us? Why does 64.41% probability mean? Why-"

Kyoko stopped in her rapid questioning of the doctor when she felt Kuon's hand wrapping around her shoulders. She looked up to him and met his concerned eyes.

"This is probably very confusing and alarming news to you all..." Yamamoto-Hakase started to explain again and this time in plain, everyday language. "What I'm trying to say is that, Mogami-san and the child Ren are possibly half-siblings... Half brother and sister according to the results of the test. The results are inconclusive because we don't have an alleged common mother or father to compare their DNA to, to further the analyses and get a more precise results. But the evidence points that the two of you are in fact related."

The tension in the air thickened and when the doctor concluded his explanation, it felt like everybody heard a judge's gavel soundingly hammered onto the sound block as the truth rang and vibrate into their very being. It was a very big truth to swallow.

Kyoko and baby Ren...

Half siblings...

Half brother and sister...

It's a lot to take in...

Yayyy! I finally wrote that development. I was so excited when this idea came to me. I wanted to share it to you guys right away but I still had to write two more chapters before I got to this part. I didn't got this idea of Kyoko having a half brother from other fanfics. I was surprise when I read about it here in ffnet and I was like, "awww, she beat me to it..." LOL I already thought of the idea to make baby Ren Kyoko's half brother two or three months ago but I didn't know how to show this piece of truth to them and to you guys and last chapter update I mentioned about the exciting idea I came up with. That was the DNA testing thing. Though, it doesn't really matter who though it first. ^_^

Oh, and just so we're clear, last chapter was NOT the ending and this chapter is NOT the epilogue. When I wrote, "I couldn't believe I wrote a fluffy ending!" I meant a CHAPTER ENDING, not the whole story ending... There are still more left to the story. Although, I still don't know how to end this story considering it's going into a new direction. Though, I think there are some Sho appearances in the near future... *sigh* I'm always talking about endings and just when I think I'm so close to the end, the story is getting longer and longer... Haha I'm just so hopeless...

I hope you enjoyed this guys! Let me know what you think of this turn of events. I hope I didn't blow it all up though. Anyways, thank you as always for all your big love, hugs and support... Totally drinking all your reviews in, guys. I feel like I'm invincible! LOL Just kidding... But it really warms my heart to read all your reviews and how many who reads, follow and fav my stories... I'm so grateful you like my fics and for letting me have a place to shine and where I feel I belong... Love you guys! ^_^
