Anna's POV

"Anna…. Anna, we're here you need to wake up." I blinked a few times before fully registering where I was. I looked up at L, who had his hand extended to me. I took it and he pulled me up from where I was lying. We exited the jet and found the car Wammy had sent for before we left. It drove us to our old task force headquarters and we got out. "I never thought I'd see this place again. At least not so soon," I voiced staring up at the ridiculously large building.

"Neither did I," L agreed taking my hand and leading me inside. We walked through the abandoned hallways and found it the same as we left it. I followed L up the seemingly endless flights of stairs to the room we had shared so briefly. I started to unpack the things I'd brought for the week, putting them away in the closet and dresser. L unpacked his things and then sat down on the bed with his laptop.

I climbed onto the bed next to him, watching his type away skillfully. "What are you doing?" I asked still tired from the flight.

He barely spared me a glance, "E-mailing Watari to let him know we got here safely." Alias's initiated. I nodded, but didn't reply. Once he was finished he closed down his laptop and put it on the nightstand on his side of the bed and laid down next to me. He casually brushed a few strands of hair behind my ear and let his hand slide gently down the side of my face before it dropped to the bed. He had a delicate smile on his face. I tried to remember the last time we were completely alone and I couldn't. He grabbed my hand and held it between us. I smiled and just watched him, enjoying the simple silence that was so rare in a house with three teenage boys.

The silence was broken by my phone ringing. I sighed and let go of L's hand and rolled onto my other side, picking up the phone. I checked the caller ID and flipped it open, "Yes, Misa?" I looked over to L for a moment, "Yeah, we're in Japan. We'll be at the funeral tomorrow morning." I rested my forehead against L's chest, "I don't think so, Misa. We just got here. Maybe later." I listened to Misa's complaints for a moment, "Alright, goodbye Misa." I hung up and put my phone down between L and I. "She wanted to come over." I clarified.

Unsure if he'd even been attempting to follow the conversation. He picked up my phone and turned it off before putting it on his own nightstand. He then turned back to me and smiled, "You know how much the ringing of cellphones annoys me."

"Well, you know slurping coffee annoys me, but you do it anyways," I mumbled into his shirt.

I could feel his chest move as he laughed, "True."

I wrapped my arms around L and laid against him, "Hey, L?" I asked.

"Hmm?" He asked.

I pulled him closer and kissed the tip of his nose, "I love you."

He smiled and brought his lips to mine, "I love you too. What time do we have to be up tomorrow?" He asked.

I closed my eyes for a second trying to remember, "I don't know, like eight thirty at the latest. We have to be out the door by nine." He nodded once and rested his chin against the top of my head and before I could say anything else, he was asleep. I giggled to myself and snuggled closer to him on top of the sheets, "Good night, Lawliet."

L's POV

When I woke up, Anna was already dressed in a simple knee length dress. She was fiddling with an earring as I watched her. Her hair was in a bun and her lips were bright red, but I couldn't tell much else from her reflection in the mirror. She caught my eye in the reflection, "Morning." A faint smile painted on her lips. I smiled back and got up to get ready. When I got back to the room I noticed a suit laid out on the bed, ignoring it I went to the closet. I pulled out my usual white shirt and jeans. I felt arms wrap around my waist before I could even take my jeans off the hanger, "You are not wearing that to a funeral."

I turned around and wrapped my arms around Anna, my clothes still in my hand, "What's wrong with what I usually wear?"

Anna rolled her eyes, "Nothing if we were just hanging out, but you need to look nice." She took the clothes from my hand and gave me a light push toward the bed, "Please go change, we need to leave soon."

I sighed and changed into the dress pants and slipped on the white undershirt, making sure my necklace was hidden beneath it. I examined the button up between my fingers for a moment, not wanting to wear it at all. "Do I really have to?" I asked.

Anna turned around and sighed, "Yes, L. You really have to."

I slipped the shirt over my shoulders and buttoned it up and looked to Anna, "Happy?"

She looked me over and gave me a half smile, "You have to tuck it in, Love." I rolled my eyes, but did as she said. I buckled the stupid belt and Anna came to look me over. "Here." She slipped a black piece of fabric around neck and began to fashion it into a tie. "There, now was that so hard?" She asked picking up the jacket from the bed and handing it to me.

"I feel ridiculous." I retorted putting on the jacket and buttoning it.

She placed a light kiss on my cheek, "You look nice. Now come on we're going to be late." Anna laced her fingers in mine and proceeded to drag me out the door and down to the car.

Anna's POV

"Mrs. Yagami?" I asked walking up to the woman I'd met at the hospital almost a year before. She looked up at me. She looked like she'd aged a hundred years since the last time I'd seen her, not that I could blame her. She'd lost her son and husband in the same year. When her eyes turned on me, there was a look of complete despair. "Mrs. Yagami, you probably don't remember me. I worked on a case with your husband. I just wanted to offer my condolences for your loss." I said, holding my hands folded in front of me.

"I remember you. You came to visit him in the hospital last year with…" Her voice trailed off, but I didn't need her to finish to know what she was going to say.

"Yes, that was me. How are you and your daughter holding up?" I asked trying to switch the topic away from her son.

She gave me a tiny smile, but it was still sad, "Sayu is alright. She's in her second year of high school."

I nodded, "How are you, Mrs. Yagami?" I asked.

She placed a gently hand on my shoulder, "I'll be okay."

I forced a small smile, "If there's anything Ryuzaki and I can do for you, please don't hesitate to call me." I pleaded, handing her a small slip of paper with my cell number on it.

"Where is he?" Mrs. Yagami asked, slipping the number into her purse.

I looked over to where a few of the old task force members were speaking and trying to calm Matsuda. "He's over there."

"I'm glad you both came. It's good to see that even though one life has ended, another is beginning." She mused.

My heart almost stopped, "I'm sorry?" I asked, unsure I'd heard her correctly.

"You are pregnant aren't you?" I watched Mrs. Yagami for a second. She seemed genuinely happy.

I nodded, "How did you know?" Could people really tell already?

She smiled softly, "A mother can tell these things. Congratulations, to both of you. If you'll excuse me, I have family to speak to."

"Of course." I gave her a slight bow as she left me.

"Anna!" Before I could even turn to acknowledge that I had heard my name being called, I was tackled in a tight hug.

"Hello, Misa." I said returning the hug in hopes she would let me go.

"It's so good to see you!"

I gave her s tiny small, "It's good to see you too, Misa."

She was dressed in fully black as if she was the widow. She was always a little over dramatic. "We have to catch up and tell me how you've been and what's going on!" Misa gushed.

I looked past her to L who was looking more and more uncomfortable in the growing crowed, "Yes, we'll have to catch up later. After this is over." I started toward L, only to realize Misa was still following me, as chatty and excitable as ever.

"Anna!" I smiled at Matsuda who had been talking to L.

"Hey, Matsuda." I slipped my hand into L's, "How are you holding up?"

Matsuda had taken Mr. Yagami's death particularly hard. He sniffled, "I'm okay. How have you been?"

I spared L a small glance and felt a smile tug at my lips, "I'm alright. Busy with the boys and stuff you know."

L gave me a knowing glance. "We should get going. A lot of people are starting to show up." L said pulling on my hand.

I nodded, "Well, we'll see you guys around. Give me a call if you need anything." I gave them one final smile before L pulled me out of the reception area. As soon as we were outside, L pulled out his phone to call for the car. He had barely hung up when it pulled up. I crawled in next to him and rested my head against his shoulder, lost in thought.

L's POV

I watched Anna, her eyes thoughtful as she stared off into space. "You know, I can't read your mind either."

She looked up at me, evidently broken out of her thoughts. After a few moments she shook her head, "It's nothing."

"And you say I'm a liar. It's obviously something." She turned to face me looking me over thoughtfully, "I was just thinking about Mrs. Yagami…. She's a really strong woman."

I frowned, not sure where she was going with this, "I suppose. She seems to be holding out very well considering the circumstances."

"It got me thinking… if- God forbid- something happened to you… I don't know if I could be that strong." I watched her for a moment, one hand resting on her stomach, obviously contemplating her thoughts, "I'd like to say I could be but… I'm not sure." Her eyes turned on me for a moment before shaking her head and running her hands through her hair, "I'm sorry, I'm being morbid." A half smile finding its way to her lips as her emerald eyes found my grey ones once more.

"It's fine. We've both been a little on edge about that since the Kira case."

A small silence fell between us, "Boy or girl?" She asked suddenly.

I looked up, "Boy or girl?" I echoed.

She nodded, "Do you think it'll be a boy or girl? I never asked." Anna smiled watching me, obviously hoping to change the subject to something more cheerful.

I cocked my head to the side, "Well statistically speaking the chance of it being a boy or girl is equal, but I hope it's a girl." I decided.

Anna's smile widened, "Me too." The moment was ruined by Anna's cellphone ringing as usual. "Yes, Misa?" She practically sighed. She looked at me for a moment, "Yeah, sure. We're going to be at the old headquarters in like five minutes. Alright I'll see you guys then." She looked up at me, "Misa and Matsuda want to come see us tonight." I rolled my eyes, of course they did. The car stopped and we got out.

"I'm going to change out of this stupid thing." I informed her, pulling off the black tie Anna had made me wear.

"I'm changing into my jammies!" Anna said running up the stairs past me toward our room. By the time I got up to the room, Anna was already in a pair of yoga pants and was standing in the closet in her bra looking for a sweatshirt.

Anna's POV

I felt L wrap his arms around my waist and jumped slightly as his cold hands grazed my exposed skin. I turned around to face him and his lips met mine before I could say anything. I pulled him closer and he began placing butterfly kisses down my jawline and neck, "L, stop it. I need to get dressed."

My cell phone began ringing, signaling Misa and Matusda's arrival. L brought his lips back to mine for a second before releasing me, "Fine, but this isn't over." He warned turning away to change into his usual attire.

I watched him for a moment before coming back to reality and picking up my phone, "Tell Matsuda it's the same password. We'll be down in a second." I pulled out my old 'Boo Bitches' sweatshirt and poked the small of L's back causing him to jump. I laughed to myself as I hurried out the door and down the stairs. Misa and Matsuda were sitting on the couch talking, "Hey, you two." I greeted falling into the seat across from them.

"Anna! We were just saying we never thought we'd be back here." Matsuda said looking around.

I looked to the top of the stairs to see L walking down, still pulling his arm through his sleeve, "That's what we said." I smiled as he came to sit beside me. I leaned into him and rested my hand against his. "Well how have you two been?" I asked watching them.

Misa went off about her new boyfriend and the movie she was staring in. I half listened to her go on and on about her life. After she finally finished Matsuda went began telling us about being back on the police force and the few things going on in his life. I smiled and listened as they talked, responding at least somewhat appropriately. "So how are you guys?"

I looked up at L and gave me a small smile, "We're good."

L looked down to me, his eyes were smiling brightly, but anyone who didn't know him like I did would say he was bored. He looked back at them, "Anna's pregnant." He voiced it almost as an accusation.

Misa practically exploded, "What! You are that's amazing! I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt!"

I almost choked on air, "You're going to be a what?"

Misa smiled excitedly, "An aunt. Since we're best friends now, I'm going to be an aunt by association! Oh I'm so happy!" Misa tackled me in a literally breathtaking hug.

"Congratulations you guys. I'm sure the chief would have been happy for you." Matsuda said, smiling sweetly as usual.

"Misa, please let go of Anna. She's turning blue." L asked flatly.

"Huh?" Misa asked stupidly, but released me nevertheless. "Anna, we have to go shopping for baby clothes and decorations, and have a baby shower-" Misa went on about her plans and I looked to L, silently asking what the hell we'd gotten ourselves into by telling Misa. We all just sort of let Misa talk, just enjoying the feeling of familiar company.

Finally, after a while I broke in, "Well, it's been nice seeing you guys, but it's getting kind of late." I looked up toward the clock on the wall over the door.

Misa looked too, "Oh right. I'm sure you need your rest. Come on, Matsu." Misa said standing up and giving me yet another bone crushing hug before moving onto L. Matsuda's hug was much more timid and gentle.

I walked then to the door, "Good night, you guys! We'll see you later." I smiled. They waved as they walked down the street toward where I'm guessing Matsuda had parked. I went back upstairs, utterly exhausted from their visit. Misa wasn't that bad, but she was certainly a handful. As soon as I opened the door to the bedroom, I felt myself being pushed gently against the wall and lips pressed against mine. I smiled into the kiss and pulled away slightly, "What was that for?"

L kissed my cheek quickly and then my lips, "I told you, this wasn't over."

A/N: Hey, everyone! So I've started another story for Death Note story, but it's completely unrelated to this one. It's called Blood and Water. You can go check it out if you want! Alright, that's all!
